The Beginning of The End

Waking Up

Vincent POV
A bright light is shined upon my face as my eyes start to lift themselves up. I'm on top of a bed. I wipe my forehead and it immediately stings. I look down at my palm with blood smeared on it. Dom walks into the room with ice in his hands.
"Oh! You're awake!" He says in a surprised tone."Yeah...What the hell happened bro?" He asks me
"I honestly can't remember much. All I can remember is that I was talking to Aaron on the balcony and that's it." I respond.
"Where is Veronica?" I ask him
"They went out to get some medical crap and stuff." He says.
I get up and walk over to the bathroom. I look into the mirror and see my eye was black and my eyebrow was dripping with blood.

"Here take this" Dom says. He hands me some gauze and I wipe off my red stained eyebrow. I wince in pain.
"Hey we're back!" I hear Vanessa's voice echo throughout the bathroom.
I walk out and set myself down on the couch. I take the ice pack out of Doms opens hands and placed it on my eye. It started to sting as the cold ice pressed upon it.

"Really? Again?" Veronica said in a joking tone
She sat next to and leaned on my shoulder.
"I know know... I don't really remember anything" I say. She grabs my beaten up face and turns it towards hers. She kisses me with her soft lips and holds my hand. I walked away and looked out the window. I see Aaron driving away. Then, suddenly it all flooded back into my memory. What I said to him, how he reacted, blacking out. I realize now that this is my fault. I basically beat myself up.
"Oh shit" I say quietly.
"Maybe we should go Dom." Vanessa says "Vince, you can stay at our house tonight."
"No, I'm fine." I insist.
"No, you are staying with us babe." Veronica says as she takes my hand and drags me away
3 Hours Later 3:30 am
I wake up with a jolt remembering His face, Alec's face, and Aaron's face. I look over and see Veronica sleeping soundly. I get up to get a glass of water. As I walk back to the bedroom, I hear soft cries coming out of the walls. I look into Vanessa's room and see her crying. I walk in and she stares back at me with tears stained on her face.
"Are you ok?" I ask
"Obviously not" she says with her face stuffed in a pillow.
"It's about Aaron isn't it?" I say
"Yea. I really shouldn't be the one crying... I mean he lost his brother and his mom. I could never live everyday knowing that Veronica was gone and I was alive." She says lifting her face above the pillow
"I know how you feel" I respond "Maybe we can talk tomorrow. We both should get some sleep. Night" I walk back and crawl into bed.
"She was crying again?" Veronica said in a sleepy voice
"How did you-?" She interrupts me
"This has been happening for a while now. Even before Alec died. " She turned to me and kissed me on my forehead.
"I love you." I say
"I love you too." She says back to me
