Lost (on hold)

~Chapter 9~

"Hey you!" Veronica called out behind me "you little brat, you ignored me yesterday!" She had rage masked on her face. What's wrong with her, I just ignored her, is there something wrong with ignoring her. I guess she thinks she's just too special. Spoiled bitch.

"What are you doing here Veronica?" Lucas asked behind me, he looked bored somehow.

"Oh baby, let me just say something to Mia okay?" She said, turning innocent, but it didn't last long once she turned back to me

"As for you, what are you doing hanging around my boyfriend?" She said crossing her arms on her chest.

Wait. What?

"You guys are dating?" I pointed at them, my finger darting from Veronica to Lucas. Woah, this was new.

"Come on Lucas! Let's leave her!" She glared at me as she hooked her arms in Lucas's. Surprisingly, he pulled away.

"Don't tell me what to do when I don't want to do it, okay?" He looked at her with a plain face

Veronica scoffed,"are you picking her over me!" She looked at me and squinted her eyes at me "I can't believe you'd hang around with someone who's father is a murderer!"

My eyes widened, what did she say? What the hell did she say? DID SHE JUST CALL MY FATHER A MURDERER!?
No one has the right to call him that, no one. This bitch is not getting any ignorance from me anymore, hell no.

"What did you just say?" I said trying to hold in my anger

"Oh! Are you sensitive about it? Huh? Well then, if you're sensitive about it then why don't I tick you off!" She screamed at my face "HER FATHER IS A MURDERER, HE KILLED TWO PEOPLE! WITH HIS OWN BLOODY HANDS!" She shouted and pointed at me, turning around so people could her. Everybody started to hush and whisper, no, the rumors. Why me? Heat rushed towards my cheeks, making me red. I've had enough.

I walked up to Veronica and grabbed her shoulder, turning her around to face me. Then..Then...I slapped her. I slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground. I looked down at her, I saw an imprint of my hand on the left side of her face. Everybody kept quiet, scared to make a sound. I broke the silence by opening my mouth to speak to Veronica.

"Do you even have the permission to even call my father that?" I said quietly

She stood up,"oh I'm sorry" she walked closer to me " but let's brush that aside, I just wanted to say something to you. I notice something after being brutally slapped. I noticed that maybe hurting people must run in the family" she smiled deviously. I looked around, they were staring, nodding, they were agreeing to what she said. I then looked at my hands, one was red from slapping Veronica, what have I done. Have i become like my dad? No, it can't be. My dad is innocent. Maybe it was the anger that ran through my blood, the same anger that ran through him. No, it can't be. I can't be like him, no.

I looked up again, they were shouting words at me, but I couldn't hear them. Then I saw Oliver coming to my rescue. Then Lucas came in and pulled Veronica away, he looked furious. Everything around me turned blurry and the sounds and accusing shouts were muffled up by the rush of my blood. Was I really turning into that version of my dad years ago? No, no, no, no. Oliver came into my view, shaking me by my shoulders, he was saying something but I couldn't hear. Slowly everything went black.
