JD X VERONICA (but Jd never dies)

Chapter 4// the phone call

By the time the two adults got back to Veronicas one bedroom apartment it had just started to rain, they both praised at the fact they got in just in time. Veronica sat down on the sofa with a huff of relief to be home. "Uh, Veronica" Jd said looking at her "yeah?" She asked him getting up.

"Do you want me to set up the sofa to go to bed?" He asked starting to move the cushions off the couch "yeah sure, I'm going to get my pyjamas on" she said walking to her bedroom and locking the door.

Jd smiled and got the blanket from the corner of the room to place on the sofa making it as a quilt and put the cushions at the end of it for a pillow "this will have to do" he said looking at the 'bed' he made. As he walked over to the coat hook to hang his trench coat, he saw Veronica come out of her room in a silk robe with fluffy slippers on and no makeup and messy hair. She never looked cuter.

Jd felt his cheeks go slightly red as he admired his wonderful love. Veronica chuckled slightly as she saw Jd staring. He quickly realised and turned away hanging his trench coat up.

Veronica walked into the kitchen making a cup of tea "want one?" She shouted through to Jd "coffee?" He asked sheepishly. "Jason dean! Always asking for something else" she laughed. She heard Jd laugh through the lounge.

About a minute later Veronica walked back into the lounge with a cup of tea and coffee. She sat down next to Jd as if all that stuff four years ago didn't happen.

Although when she thought of it she could still hear the choke of heather and the scream of Kurt plus the screams of students when the bomb went of, although Jd was lucky enough to run from the bomb somewhere small in her heart she still wished that he was stood there and blew up. But that never happened she just stood there horrified at the scene she had just witnessed. She heard Jd scream her name.

As she was in her flash back the screaming got quieter as she heard Jd still calling her. "Veronica! Earth to Veronica!" Jd said waving his hand in Veronicas face to get her attention, "hm?" She said looking at him suddenly out of her trance "you went all still and quiet I thought you was about to pass out" he explained.

Veronica picked up the bottle of pills for her PTSD and took two according to the directions on the side of the orange bottle.

"You know they're just gonna numb everything" Jd stated, "yeah right. These will help me! Unlike you" she murmured to herself. He rolled his eyes.

"I'm pretty tired, I might go to bed". Veronica stated feeling a little uncomfortable. "Uh, yeah sure. Goodnight" Jd said as Veronica got up to go to her room. She smiled as she walked into her bedroom locking the door as she was still nervous.

Jd took his shirt off leaving his black denim jeans on as he didn't want to seem inappropriate. He got into the 'bed' he had made on the sofa and turned the table lamp off.

After a few hours of tossing and turning the phone rang which startled Jd but he got up quickly and answered the phone. Veronica could hear everything in her room.

"Hello?" Jd said wondering who could be calling at this time of night "hi! Is this Jason dean?" The voice sounded calm but scared at the same time. "Yes. Who's asking"
He started to get suspicious "I'm a nurse of promedica Toledo hospital. You father, bud dean, was rushed in earlier tonight" jds heart skipped a beat as his breath hitched. "W-WHAT?!" He shouted but thought Veronica was asleep but she wasn't as she was listening to everything going on he tried to keep quiet.

"Okay, okay. Thank you" he hung up the phone and walked over to the couch. He didn't know how to feel, on one hand his dad did ruin his childhood but on the other he was still his dad. Jd put his head in his hands and tried not to cry. He sat holding back tears with darkness surrounding him.

Veronica thought it would be best to comfort him so she got her dressing gown on and walked out. She saw Jd sat there and felt sympathy which was strange for her as she felt more sympathy for him now than she did in the school field when he had a bomb strapped to him. She finally got out of her trance of that day and walked up to him sitting next to him.

"Jd, I'm sorry" he looked up at her with his watery eyes. She stroked his back to calm him down "I'm going" he said suddenly. "What? Why?" She asked confused on why he would want to see his dad after all he had been through. "Veronica, remember he is still my dad. He may have been a pretty shit one but he is still a part of my life" he explained to her as she got up and but his top on.

"I'll come with you!" Veronica said going into her room to change. Jd got his trench coat on and brushed his hair. A few moments later Veronica came out. She wore some blue jeans with a black plain top and the same blue jacket she wore in high school, her hair was in a messy bun since she let it grow out.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Veronica asked because she knew what Jd was like when he got stressed. "Veronica, I'm positive" he said with a half smile. She nodded in agreement and linked her arm into jds.

They walked out the house and to the bus stop. The bus was 5 minutes late and Jd started pacing. "Jd, stop worrying you'll make yourself ill" Veronica told him he stopped as he heard the bus coming and they quickly got on.

The bus came to a halt after 10 minutes and the pair got of. The hospital had big luminous letters saying
promedica Toledo hospital
Jd quickly walked in as Veronica caught up with him. She had no idea what had happened but she could only think of the worst.
