I'm Here For You

The Day Before Everything Changed

Veronica's POV
I was having one of the best dreams I ever had, until I got woken up by the ungodly sound of the alarm. I sighed and turn off the alarm and scrolled through the messages I got. A particular message from my parents caught my eye, they are moving back to Riverdale.

After I had finish reading the message, my hands started trembling and tears start to pool up in my eyes, memories of what happened back in New York starts coming back to me. 'No! Why, why must they ruin everything?!' I thought bitterly, 'Everything was so perfect until they told me they are moving here.'

I quickly wiped away my tears and collected myself. I didn't want my parent to ruin the last perfect day I can have with my friends. I pushed away all the bad thoughts and memories.

I quickly when to take a quick shower before I have to meet Betty at Pop's. After the shower, I looked through the mirror at all the scars, scars caused by me, littered all across my stomach. Looking at the scars, brings back all the bad memories of New York and it makes me have the urge to cut again.

' NO!' I thought to myself ' you can't let them affect you like this'. I pushed down the urge and quickly grabbed a cute outfit and got ready to head out. Once I was done, I quickly went out of the house and headed to Pop's with a smile on my face. I couldn't wait to see Betty, Betty has never failed at putting a smile on my face especially on a bad day

When I reached Pop's I scanned the room and spot The blind beauty sitting in the corner, not paying attention to her surroundings. I grinned evilly as a thought came to me. I snuck behind Betty and whispered " Boo!"

"V!" She exclaimed putting her hand on her chest " why are you trying to give me a fucking heart Attack in the morning!?"

I chuckled, " well maybe if you actually paid attention to your surroundings, you would have realised I was here."

She started to pout.

"Betty! I'm sorry, but please anything but the pout! You know I can't resist it." I pleaded.

She still continued to pout, I just wanted to kiss that pout away, she looks so damn cute, but as much as I wanted to do that, Betty is my best friend she would never think of me in any other way. I was desperately thinking of ways to make her stop pouting, before I melt from her cuteness. Luckily an idea popped up in my head.

" Ok! I'm sorry for scaring you! Breakfast is on me, if you stop pouting, you know perfectly well I can't resist it."

She immediately stops pouting and smiles at me. We ordered our food and when it arrived we quickly dug in. As we were eating, my thoughts started to wander  back to my parents, I didn't want them to come here and ruin the perfect life I have here. They always ruin everything for me, I was also terrified of what they would do with me, would they still treat me the same as New York? Would they treat me better? Or worse?

"Veronica!" Betty shouted, I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts. " are you okay? You seem bothered by something".

I looked up towards her and gave her a fake smile " yeah I'm okay, I just didn't get enough sleep." I claimed.

She stares back at me, " if you say so, I won't question you any further, but if you ever need help or someone to talk to, I'm here for you."

This time I genuinely smiled, " thank you Betty, you are the best, now let's finish eating and head to school, they are probably waiting for us."

We finished up our meal and started to head to school. Near the entrance of school, we see, Archie, Jughead, Kevin, Cheryl and Toni waiting for us.

When we reached them, I blurted out "Let's hang out at my house after school for a movie marathon, it's been a while since we did one." My heart was hammering against my chest waiting for their reply, I wanted to be able to hang out with them before everything changed and shit hits the fan.

Luckily, they all agreed to it. I sighed internally in relief, this could be the last day I can having out with teen like this, so I intend to make the best of it.
