Kyles POV:
I woke up confused. What time was it?
my room was dark and the only light came from my tv which had the Netflix home screen plastered on the screen
I sat up and began rubbing my eyes when realization hit
Shit, Veronica
I began tapping all over my bed, throwing blankets and moving pillows around in order to find my phone
where the hell was it?
I finally found it tucked inside my pillow case
I quickly grabbed it and looked at the screen to find 10 missed calls from Veronica making my stomach sink instantly
I began dialing her number
one time, two times... six times
Pick up Veronica, pick up or I'm going over there
I walked towards my window and the house lights were still on, that has to be a good sign right... right?
I quickly out on my vans and ran down the stairs and out the door, caring less if I closed the door behind me. Something was wrong, I could feel it
I ran towards Veronicas house and as I stood at the entrance of her door, I began feeling confused as to how I should approach this? Am I being paranoid? It's three o'clock in the morning, what if she just feel asleep?
I mean what am I suppose to tell her parents? "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Veronica didn't answer the six calls I made, so I came rushing over"
Oh god, that sounds so fucking stupid
but then again she did call me 10 times?
Gulping and mentally cursing myself for what I was about to do, I was just about to ring the doorbell when I noticed the door was cracked just a little bit open
Fuck, this can't be good
I pushed the door open and a loud scratching sound was coming from the Vinyl in their living room
I took the record off and began looking around
"Is anyone here?"
I continued walking and made my way towards the kitchen
"What the fuck" I whispered
taking a look at my surroundings, the kitchen was a mess. There was food thrown on the floor and broken plates everywhere
what the hell happened
"and what the fuck are you doing in MY HOUSE" slurred a drunken voice
I turned my attention to where the voice was coming from and saw Veronicas mom standing by the entrance of the kitchen door with a bottle of vodka in her hands
she put the bottle on her lips and gulped down a large amount
"Where is she" I demanded, my hands turning into fists
"Who? You mean my ungrateful bitch of a daughter" she laughed as she drank from the bottle again
"For the love of God Mrs. Marsh, put the bottle down and get a hold of yourself"
she began slurring her words, making it extremely difficult to understand anything she was saying and quite frankly, I didn't give a fuck. The only person I was worried about was veronica, and i was five seconds away from shouting her name
every time I tried getting out of Veronicas mom way, she would block the doorway
my anger was getting the best of me and I was just about to do something I knew I'd end up regretting when I heard a soft voice speak
"Ple-ease Kyle, go home"
I turned so quick, I'm sure Veronicas mom got whiplash
"Baby are you okay? lets go, get your stuff, we're going to my house" I said while grabbing her hand and forcing her towards to stairs so she could gather her belongings
"Thats not such a good idea Kyle, my mom will lose her shit if she finds out I stayed over at your place"
tears began forming in the corner of her eyes and her voice was shaky
I can't leave her here. I'd be stupid to do so.
"Veronica, get your things. I'll deal with your mom"
I know she wanted to come with me, I could see it in her face. She was scared out of her mind, being in that house any longer only asked for trouble
She began fiddling with her hands before sighing and saying, "okay"
she looked at me for a few seconds before giving me a forced, soft smile
how she remained so pure and sweet after everything is beyond me, but thats what I loved about her. She was the strongest person I knew.

No ones POV:
Veronica and Kyle began walking towards Kyle's house. Kyle was carrying Veronicas bag while holding her tightly against him
A menacing laugh erupted silently as a cigarette was flicked onto the floor
"That girl is causing enough distress on the boy, we should just leave them alone" whispered a woman's voice
"Yeah? well he's got another thing going for him"
Ben rolled up the car window and drove away silently, almost as if he was never there.
Ben was out for blood and with a new agenda. He would kill Kyle's lover, just the way Kyle killed his.
