Save Me (beronica)

5: "Good morning, beautiful!"

Veronica's POV

I drove through the town, until I reached the already pretty well-known, fancy restaurant. It's was still an early morning, so it wasn't hard to find a free parking lot.

A loud sound of singing birds attached me when I got out off the car. Sun was shining, but the spring weather was still cool.

I walked quietly towards Blue Hill, more specifically to the backyard of it. I was feeling kinda nervous, what if she wasn't there? Or what if she would just get mad at me, or even worse; scared of me? What if I would just make her feel even worse?

Even though this was terrifying me, I still kept walking. When I was closer to the trash cans, I slowed down and tried to be as quiet as possible. Slowly I reached them, and looked for the blonde beauty. I was already pretty sure she wasn't there anywhere, until I saw her.

She was there, curled up in a corner, under her blanket. She was sleeping. I stopped walking, and just watched her and listened her peaceful breathing. This time she looked calm and I even though that I saw a little smile on her dry lips.

She looked even more beautiful than last time. Half of her hair were on her face, covering one of her eyes. I just wanted to wipe them away, and cover the slim leg of hers, that was out of the blanket. But I knew that wasn't a good idea.

Quietly I backed off a little bit, and sat down against another trash can, like 8 meters away from the girl. I took my jacket off, and placed my bag next to me. I took my book from the bag, and started reading.

In between times I glanced at her, to make sure she was still sleeping. Sometimes I stopped reading, and just watched her peaceful sleep, or listened the birds singing. Two hours passed like this, the time felt like flying. I just relaxed, and enjoyed the peace of the silent backyard.

Suddenly I heard the girl in front of me starting to wake up. I put the book away from my hands, and watched her. Slowly she raised her sleepy head, watching around her. When her eyes found me, they got really wide and I saw pure fear flashing in them.

"Good morning, beautiful!" I told her trying to sound cheery, even though I felt pretty nervous.

"You? Wha...what the hell are you doing here?", the girl asked a scared tone in her voice. She backed tighter against the wall of the trash can.

"Relax, blondie." I said calmly. "I'm not gonna do anything bad to you."

"Why are you here? What do you want from me?" Her voice was shaking a little bit.

"I'm here to enjoy the beautiful spring morning! And you don't have to worry, I'm not trying to hurt you or anything. I'm your friend." I told her.

"I don't need your pitying. You can leave now." She sounded almost angry this time. I felt confused.

"I'm not pitying you, blondie. I just want to get know you.", I explained smiling at her. "And don't worry, I'm not bothering you more, I'm just gonna sit here, okay?"

A little moment she looked at me skeptically, but then she let her eyes fall towards the ground, without saying a word.

I took my book, and continued reading it. I felt her staring at me, but I kept my focus on the book.

Betty's POV

There she was. Just a few meters away from me, peacefully focused on her book. I looked at her puzzled.

Many questions grew inside of me. Why had she came here? What so interesting or enjoyable was about this dirty backyard? Why did she want to get to know me, why did she want to be my friend? Did she have something against me, was this some stupid ploy?

And how the hell she was just so calm, just reading some stupid book?

I didn't know what to think. Something on this mysterious girl made me very, very scared. She was just somehow so powerful and strong.

But something on her made me kinda curious. Like I wanted to know more about this girl, who she even was, and what the hell she was doing here?! She really didn't seem like those homeless guys that hanged in places like this...like me.

Who even was this little brunette? And why did she want to mess with my head?
