Veronica's POV

When I pulled up I saw Zach, Jonah, Jack, Daniel, and Corbyn waiting out front. I took a deep breath and got out of my car. I walked up to them. "Hey." I said awkwardly. "Hey Ronica." Jonah said. "Listen Jonah I know were siblings but I'm not comfortable with that nickname." I said quietly. "ok..." he responded. We walked in and sat down at a table in the very back of the restaurant. I ordered a salad because I'm still not very comfortable with them. I excused myself to the bathroom to calm down before I have a panic attack. I left to sit back down and Jonah gave me a questioning stare because it's been like 10 minutes. I mouthed to him 'I'll tell you later' then looked away. My best friend Loralei texted me about a stupid homework assignment for honors geometry so I just ignored it. When I looked back up Zach was staring at me. Jonah then asked, "So Veronica tell us about yourself" I answered with "Well I'm not that interesting my adopted family hates me except for my brother. I'm in all honors classes and finally I've been bullied by you guys since 5th grade." I saw Zach's face drop when I brought up them bulling me. "I also have a best friend named Loralei. Can I know a little about you guys?" "My name is Zach Herron. I play guitar, sing, and am 1/5 of Why Don't We." "My name is Jack Avery. I skateboard, sing, and also am 1/5 of Why Don't We." "My name is Corbyn Besson. I have a girlfriend Christina, I sing, and am 1/5 of Why Don't We." "My name is Daniel Seavey. I play multiple instruments, sing and am 1/5 of Why Don't We." "My name is Jonah Frantzich or better known as Jonah Marias. I sing, am your biological brother, and am 1/5 of Why Don't We." They all introduced themselves. Our food came as soon as Jonah finished talking. I just picked at my food and I guess Zach noticed because he said, "Why aren't you eating?" "I'm not that hungry." I said. When everyone finished, we said good bye and left. I sighed in relief when I got in my car. That could've gone worse. I drove home and as soon as I walked in I started getting yelled at by my 'parents' because I didn't tell them where I was going. When my 'father' raised his fist to hit me I left. I got in my car and called Jonah because he's the only person I could think of at the moment. "Hey Veronica why are you calling me right now?" He asked when he picked up the phone. "M-my father' t-tried to hit me and I don't know what to do." I said. "Come to my house you can stay here for the night. It's random address." "T-thanks" I said and hung up. I started driving to his house. I'm pretty sure he lives with the other boys by themselves. When I pulled up I got out and hesitated to knock on the door. When I did Daniel opened it. "Why are you here?" He questioned. "J-j-Jonah" is all I could say before Jonah came running down the stairs. He pushed Daniel out of the way and pulled me into a hug. "Now start at the beginning." He said as he led me to the couch.

A/N: Hey guys. If you don't already you should follow me. I also appreciate constructive criticism. I might do the next chapter in Jonah's POV of when they left. Until next time PEACE!!!
