The English Teacher

Part Fourty-one

Veronica's POV

I woke up once again to my alarm and sadly it's only Tuesday. I'm still happy we found Betty, and that she's safe at the hospital.

(Okay I'm lazy)
After school

I was once again grading papers when I got a text. I looked at it and it was Betty.

Betty

B: Hey I know my friends aren't coming to the hospital today. Will you please come again? Please?

I smiled and laughed a little.

V: Of course. Just give me another hour.

B: Oh alright.

V: Okay.

After about another thirty minutes I was done. I left and went to the hospital.

Once I got there and into Betty's room her face lit up. "You looked really sad?" I questioned. "Well, I was till you came in." She said. "Shut the door will you please?" She asked. I nodded, shut the door and walk over to her. I sat in the chair by the bed. "How much longer till you get out of here?" I asked. She smiled. "What?" I asked. "Look who wants me out of here now." She said. "Well I have something for you and I'm having a hard time waiting." I told her. "Oh really? What is it then?" She asked. "Your also gonna wait." I told her. "Mmm why?" "Because if I have to wait, so do you." "You suck." "Okay." I said. "What's that supposed to mean?" She asked. "Nothing." I told her. She sighed. "Is something wrong?" I asked. "Yeah just a bit." " shrugged.  "Okay enough with whatever this is. What's wrong?" "I just remebered something, and that might be the reason Toni and them haven't came yet today." I said. "Oh yea? And what might that be?" I asked. "I'm not living with them once I'm out of here." "Your still living with your mom then?" She sighed. "Sadly, yes." She said. This got me to thinking. "What if you stay with me?" I said. She gave me a confused look. "What?!" "Yea, you can stay with me." "Wouldn't that be a little suspicious?" "How? I don't live anywhere near people from the school." "Oh well that's true, but ho--" I cut her off. "Stop worrying! We'll be fine! It'll work out, if you say yes." She sighed. "But my mom only lives across the street." I smiled. "And if you live with me you won't have to sneak out all the time." "But what's the fun in that?" "Oh I don't think we have a good girl over here." I said. She smiled and bit her lip a little. "I figured you would've known that by now." "Okay. So are you living with me or not?" I asked again. She sighed with a smile on her face. "Of course!" She said. I smiled back at her. "Great!" I said and kissed her. "Wait do you have to go?" She asked. "Not if you don't want me to. Why?" I asked. "Well you jumped up like you were leaving." I smiled. "No, but I want to ask this again 'cause you never fully answered it. When are you leaving?" "On Friday." She said. "Well that's just perfect isn't it." "For what?" She asked. "Nevermind." I said. We talked for what seemed like forever.

Once I left it was six. I had left 'cause her friends had shown up. And like always Cheryl told me to leave. Now I'm sitting home alone like always. Oh I can't wait till Friday.
