Veronica smiled softly patting his hand before moving it to mess with the ends of her hair "It was tommy..." she mumbled quietly scared of how he was going to react she didn't like it when people yelled and she knew he would probably lose his shit. "he...he started in when I got into class and sat down, about me and you. Saying you were just gonna leave me in the dust like you did all the other girls...Or that I think you care about me, he brought up my mom said she probably left because my dads a "pathetic lousy sheriff" and that I'm pathetic just like him and said maybe you and me aren't so bad for each other after all...he said he didn't know why you were even messing around with me that it was probably just for fun or you feel bad because my mom left me and my dad.. and that if I told you he said you wouldn't do shit.." She rambled needing to get it off her chest glancing over at him before adverting her eyes back to the ends of her hair.

Billy took his hand away from Ronnie to keep from squeezing so hard out of anger. But not towards her. Towards Tommy. He took a deep breath, keeping his voice even, "Don't listen to a damn word he or even Carol says. I'm not going to leave you, hell even if you wanted me too I probably wouldn't leave. As for your mother? She's truly a bitch if she doesn't see how amazing and beautiful you are. If anything, I don't deserve you. I know for a fact I'm a fucking dick. That..That won't ever change. I know that. I'm around you because I genuinely care about you. You don't..You don't seem to judge me like the others. And you're just different. You don't fling yourself at me. You want to know me.." His voice getting softer as he spoke.

Veronica sat quietly listening to him talk trying not to tear up again, she hated crying. But she couldn't hold them back she sniffled sipping her eyes "I tried to ignore him and not let it get to me but after this weekends events and yesterday everything has just been stressing me out, you're not a dick billy, you just..we've both been through a lot but we still have room to change I won't ever push you to change but I know you've got good in you I can see it right now." She smiled resting her hand on his thigh reassuringly

Billy smiled back just as he pulled up to her house. "Well we're here. Take as long as you need," he told her with a small nod. He glanced at the clock in his car. They were fine. It was still rather early in the morning.

Veronica nodded giving him a small smile before getting out quickly heading in the house to get out of the rain She dropped her backpack by the door and first went to change into more clothes comfortable clothes before grabbing a few different types of egos putting them in a bag and a few magazines for El before making her way back to the car getting in

Billy had turned on the radio, listening to Ozzy, while Ronnie had gone and got what she needed to get from the house. He smiled slightly when she came back out in different clothes.

Veronica opened the door getting into the car placing the two bags between her feet "ozzy? Nice choice." she smiled over at him buckling up

"Thought it'd be nice to listen too," Billy grinned over at her before started the car back up and peeled away from the house and asked, "Directions?"

"It's nice" Veronica nodded and sighed "Down the road Out past the farmers pumpkin field shit, its the road to the right that leads into the woods"

Billy raised an eyebrow and asked somewhat jokingly, "Are you sure you're not just plotting my murder?" He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel to the song that was playing.

"Why would I have 6 boxes of eggos if I was plotting your murder?" Veronica questioned glancing at him "i would let you know if I was though"

"So you can have a delicious meal after murdering me," Billy chuckled at his joke and continued after her other comment, "Sounds about right."
