Broken (Completed and editing)

Was it my perfect ending

"While they all fall in love with her smile. She wait's for the one who would fall in love with her scars"

Veronica's POV:- 

"Come on lets head back. Today i'll introduce you all to some of my friends here, at a party. The last time we all walked on a dance floor was that scandalous night at the club. I hope you don't decide to do something like that today." he nudged at my shoulder with his sly smirk.

Me and Eric sat on the side railing and talked for few hours. He told me he had sent Care a message to not wait for us at lunch. We walked back to the car and had burritos for lunch then went to Muir woods, again.

"I saw you looking completely peaceful when we came here" he had said when we reached there. And all i could think was because 'I was with Aaron' he was my peace then.

Neither i asked about Aaron's reaction at me being away, nor did Eric touch the topic. One time discussion was draining enough. 

We had finally moved off the tense topics and tried keeping the talk to lighter things before he dropped the bomb about going back to Aaron, on me. I hadn't thought it through yet. All i had in my mind while i thought about him was a blank page.

What would i say to him when i face him again?

No no i can't face Aaron after my blow. I haven't thought it through. My heart hadn't forgotten what he was and IS doing to me. I back peddled as Eric started moving forward with my hand in his.

"No I don't want to see Aaron i cannot. Eric no wait. Yo-you drop me at the air port i-i'll go back home. I have to talk to my father." He stopped and looked at me like i grew two heads. His blue gray eyes narrowing slightly in suspicion.

"No way in hell are you going to go anywhere. Veronica all of you have booked your flights three days later. You can talk to your father then" i stood rooted to the ground even after he tried to pull at my arm.

"Come on i won't be back till mom and dad come back. I want you all here with me" This was always the thing with Eric he made me forget my worries altogether.

"No. I will not see Aaron until i have talked to my father. Eric i am going back home you like it or not. And i am going alone nobody has to come with me and NOBODY has to know especially Aaron. I cannot face him after today"

Eric let go of my hand, ran a hand on his face in frustration. He didn't know the specifics of what happened today so didn't know my reasons to not go back home neither did he dare to touch that topic. He  huffed and puffed a bit then started speaking.

"Care and everybody else have already left the house. They went to see some famous place. I'm sure Lin dragged Aaron along. They'll go to the party from there. Come on at least go to this party with me, there will be so many people around, you can ignore him if you do not want to talk. Please come on this is why you came here. You can decide if you will go back to Toronto or not, after the party."

He made those puppy eyes how could have i said no. Though he also had a point at least at the party so many people would be there so it won't be that bad between me and Aaron.

Whats the worse that could happen?

We walked in the deserted house an hour later, Muir woods and Eric's house were two different ends of the city. We barely made it in time to get ready for the party.

I for one was relieved to see nobody there. I cannot face Aaron right now or else i fear i would do and say things that can decapitate my relation with both my father and Aaron. Who probably are my only two chances at happiness?
