Part 32: Confusion

Veronica's p.o.v.

With my hair streaming behind me in the wind, I skated down the trail with my bag slung over my shoulder. The sun was setting and everything almost seemed ok. I got off the trail near the shore line and a cliff. As I made my way down the shoreline I noticed a cave within the cliff and a few rocks out in the water. Carefully I made my way across the wet rocks and sat on the one farthest out on the shore. I took out an extra towel, laid it out and sat down. I took off my skates and then put my feet down, letting the warm waves wash over my toes. Looking out over the ocean I could see waves sparkling in the sun, people on boats and animals swimming the surface only to go back down into the deep blue. All without a care in the world. 

Who is this girl I see, staring straight back at me...

Why did I have to push everyone away when they tried to help? Why did those things back home have to happen? I asked myself. I wish I was a little kid again. Then I wouldn't have to worry about guys and all of this drama. Everything would be so simple.

I got up and walked back across the rocks to the soft, warm sand. Just as I hopped off a big rock, I heard someone talking.

"Veronica! Veronica, where are you?!" the person shouted as he walked the other way down the beach. I ducked quickly into the cave near all of the rocks I was on. "Veronica?" the person said turning around to face where I was. Completely shocked I stepped backwards, farther into the darkness of the cave. "Veronica? Are you there?" Ethan asked stepping forward once more. After a moment he stopped looking into the darkness and sat down in the sand next to the entrance. "Why did I have to help Mary out?" Ethan put his face in his hands. "I could of just gone home with Grayson; possibly not of gone to the party in the first place. Then things wouldn't be so complicated. Veronica wouldn't be so mad at me." He sighed and put his head back against the wall. He started to say more but I couldn't hear so I crept closer. "....she has no idea that I'm in love with her...." When he said that I gasped and immediately covered my mouth. My heart started to speed up and all I wanted to do was run over to him, tell him I was so sorry for acting this way and confess everything. Instead I stood in the dark disguise of the cave.

After a while, Ethan got up and started to make his way down the beach. I was still standing in the cave because I was utterly shocked at what he whispered. As he walked away from me I realized that I still had my camera in my bag. I took it out, made sure the flash was off, adjusted the focus and snapped a picture of him. If I couldn't make him happy right now, then I could at least surprise him later. I made sure he was gone before I started to leave the cave. I ran into a few spiderwebs and had a few small bugs crawl across my feet but I made it out mostly unharmed. I sat down in the spot he was sitting in and looked across the beach. His figure was now just a black spot in the distance and the waves were crashing along the shore. I put my mask on and looked for a spot to set up my camera. I set it up near a rock, that I could sit on, and some tall grass. 

"Hey guys, I'm back," I waved cheerfully at the camera. "It's been a beat since I've posted a video but everything has been so crazy. I want to thank every one of you guys for nominating and voting for me to win the Female Influencer of the Year award at the Teen Choice Awards. The experience was amazing and I would not be here without you all. Onto a more serious note. I want to open up more to you guys, so I'm going to talk about what life means to me. As someone who has gone through bad things, I believe that in the end it is all worth it. Some people think that their god, or gods, have a plan for them. Others may think that life is a moment by moment thing; that there is no plan. Personally I think that there is a plan for everyone and everything. It is not set in stone because different choices lead to different things therefore changing the future and the plan. One thing, for me, that has always been steadfast with this belief, is that everything will be ok. Whether you believe in god or not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes things that happen are not the greatest or what you want to happen but it always happens for a reason."
