eleven.

"dude, i know." claire said as her and veronica exited the club. they had went to their local club tonight, dancing the night away with their group of friends. 

"i can't believe we are all so old," veronica paused. "we are 21, what the fuck is that?" 

"your boyfriend is 27," claire said. 

"tyler isn't my boyfriend!" veronica defended. 

"he might as well be!" claire slapped her arm, "you guys are meant to be and you need to accept it!" 

"we're just having fun claire." veronica said, suddenly getting serious. 

"that's not what he thinks," claire said. "i talked to josh and josh is pretty positive that tyler is in love with you." 

veronica stopped walking, "impossible. shut the fuck up and stop lying." 

claire rolled her eyes and grabbed veronica by her shoulders, "you shut the fuck up! you need to realize that it is possible for someone to love you!" 

veronica rolled her eyes and wiggled out of her grasp, continuing to walk. "whatever." 

"the thing is," claire started. veronica turned to look at her best friend, her eyes full of annoyance. "you have to love yourself before you let someone else love you." 

that comment pissed veronica off so much that she actually laughed and looked at claire with hatred. "i'm leaving. it was nice to see you today claire. love you. see you soon." and with that, she walked off. 

"love you. let me know when you're back at the hotel!" claire called after her, despite being pissed off. she still wanted veronica to be safe. 

veronica did not want to go back to the hotel yet. she was enjoying her night away, so she decided to stop at the local pub and see what's going on. 

that was her first mistake. 

her second mistake was accepting the drinks that the bartender kept refilling for her. she soon found herself completely drunk and dancing on the table to a song that wasn't even playing. 

"veronica?" she heard someone ask. "is that you?" 

she stopped dancing to see who was speaking to her, "justin?" she asked in disbelief. it was her high school crush, and aging really did him well (^^ pictured above.)

"you look great!" he said as she jumped off the table to tackle him in a hug. "need a dancing partner?" he asked, laughing. she nodded and they began to dance to the imaginary music together. 

as justin was twirling veronica around the dance floor at 3am, tyler lay awake in his hotel room. "where is she?" he mumbled to himself. josh was asleep in the bed next to him but tyler was waiting for veronica to get home because of their sleepover plans. he had texted veronica three times now and figured that another text would do no good. maybe claire will answer, he thought to himself. but he doesn't have her number so he went to veronica's instagram page and clicked on her most recent post which was of her and claire, he clicked on claire's name and sent her a direct message. she replied almost instantly. 

tylerrjoseph: hey, do you know when you guys plan on heading out? 

xoclairebearxo: wait, she's not back yet? 

tylerrjoseph: no... are you not with her? i thought you were?! 

xoclairebearxo: i was, until we had an argument like three hours ago and she left

tylerrjoseph: any idea where she could be? 

xoclairebearxo: i have no clue... shit, i just assumed she was walking back to the hotel
