Lucas
What's Grams problem? He's dragging Veronica through the mud and bullying her. I almost stand up and yell at him to stop but I figured that it just make it worse.
I wish I would of done something though. When I see her run off, I know that this is my chance. So I follow her. My friends don't notice that I'm leaving but I don't care.
When I stop at the janitors closet, I hear crying. I open the door slowly and hear "Gram, leave me the hell alone."
"It's not Gram." She immediately looks up.
"Lucas. Why are you here?" Tears are streaming done her face. "Did Gram send you to tell me how stupid I am?"
"No one sent me. I wanted to make sure you were okay," I say as I walkover to sit next to her. "I just want to help."
"Well, your friends have a real different term for help."
"I'm serious, I just want to help you. To be honest, I hate those guys so much. All they ever do is beat me down and threaten to kill me if I don't do what they want." I have never told anyone that.
"Then why are you friends with them?" She says. When I look up, her beautiful sea blue eyes are staring back at me.
"Because I don't have anyone else." Comes out of my mouth. She doesn't say anything for a few more seconds.
"My mom left my dad when I was 9. Then my dad died of a broken heart. The only person I have is myself," she says fast. "I have trust issues, anxiety, fears, basically everything bad. The only thing I feel is pain. No happiness, just pain." Tears form in her eyes again.
"You have me now Veronica, I know what your feeling. I lost my brother and dad to a gun shooting. My moms still here, she just doesn't talk to anyone." She stares at me in shock. She had no clue anyone at school had the same problems as her.
