Long road back

Archie's pov
    The next morning Veronica had acted like nothing had happened the night before. I'm gonna go on a wild thought and say this is part of her 'I'm strong and don't show my emotions to a lot of people' act. I mean it's not healthy, just acting like nothing happened

   Though she's been acting like that, she's been not wanting to go out in public. She's still excused from school due to her surgery, but sooner or later she's going to have to come out.

     After school every day I walk to her house, so currently that's what I'm doing. I don't bother going to the front desk anymore now that Hiram's gone, and Smithers is back. And her mom and never minded me coming in. So normally I just walk right in.

I get into her living room, and she sleeping in the couch. I sit next her and rub her back and she pops her head up, it looked like she had been crying. "Ronnie were you crying?" She sits up and wipes under eyes to make sure nothings there. "No." She says shaking her head.

"Do you want to get dressed and go to pops?" She looks down at her lap then back at me. "No." I sigh at her. "Come on Ronnie, your going to have to go in public at some point. You can't just sit in the Pembroke all day everyday. You have to be a real person." She gets up.

"Don't you think I want to!? You really think I want to stay in my house where my dad plotted my murder. It's embarrassing Archie! My father tried to kill me, you, your father, our friends at school. So tell me Archie, do you really expect me to go out in public where everyone knows what my father did.  I can't even bare to walk into his office, even after it got cleaned out." What had I done. I felt like shit for saying that now.

"Oh my god Veronica I'm so sorry." She walks across the room and sits away from me. I sit next to her and try to touch her. "No, you know what Archie maybe you should just leave, I can't do this with you right now." 

She puts her head down. I'm not leaving, so I just continue to sit there. "What are you still doing here?" I shrug my shoulder at her. "You've done this with me countless times before, so why would I leave you now?"

She stares at me. "I'm not leaving so if your gonna be silent, then we're going to be here for a long damn time." All of a sudden she slams into me and hugs me tightly. I can her her start to silently cry. "It hurts so damn much." She cries. "I know." I rub her hair and back.

"Ronnie, look at me." She releases the hug and looks at me with tears in her eye. "You don't have to be afraid to show your emotions, or tell how your feeling to me. I will understand. But really Ronnie you have to get out and be a real person. People will understand that you weren't with your dad."

"Alright, but today can we just lay in my bed together." I nod and we walk to her bed room. She gets in and I take off my shoes and jacket and slide into her bed next to her. She gets closer to me and puts her head on my chest. I can feel her warm tears on my shirt, but I really don't mind.

Shortly after we lay down, she falls asleep. I feel terrible. She's exhausted 24/7, and it's all because of her father. I can't even imagine the things that were going through his head. But he was insane.

It's going to be a long road back, but I know she can do it. I mean after all, she is Veronica Lodge.

Alright so now that I'm out of school I really have no excuse to be updating late all the time. I will try my hardest now to update two times a week, but no promises. I also apologize this chapter is a little short, but I have some ideas. Also give me some ideas or something that I should include or that you would like to see in this book. But I hope you enjoyed.
