I'm Here For You

Home Miserable Home

Veronica's POV
Yes! Finally! I'm going to be  free from the hospital today! Although I was only here for a day, it's hell here. Wait, shit I still have to go home. Dammit, I got excited for no god damn reason. I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said

I looked up to see who it was. It was Betty.

"B! What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to make sure you are alright before you leave."

"I'm alright, I should be signing the discharge papers soon. And you do know that you could've called instead of coming all the way here."

"Yeah I know that, I just wanted to see if you are actually alright. You know when the gang visited you yesterday, you could have told them to leave earlier right? I know you were tired."

"Yeah, I know, I just wanted to hang out with them more."

"Oh ok,  I have to leave see you in school next week?"

"Ok bye,  see you in school next week."

After she left me I packed up my things, signed the discharge paper and went outside to my parent's car. I don't even know why they picking me up. They hate me.

As soon as I reached home and stepped inside 'Home miserable home' I thought. I walked by the kitchen, that's strange my parents aren't in here. They are probably in yet another business meeting.

I went to my room and into the the bathroom. Undressed myself and stepped into the shower. Hot water ran down my scar and bruised filled body. I relaxed a little. But the longer I spent in the shower, the longer I started to overthink everything. My thoughts soon started to overwhelm me. I quickly stopped the shower and dried myself up. I wore an oversized hoodie and continued drying my hair until it was completely dry. I then slipped into my bed a fell asleep.

Third person POV
As Veronica peacefully slept in her bed. Her parents were across town in Betty's house. They knocked on the door and it was answered by Betty.

"Yes? How may I help you?"

"Hey we're Veronica's parents, you are Betty right?"

"Yes I am. Why?" Betty said warily. She knew what Veronica's parents did to Veronica, and she also didn't know what they were doing here.

"We need to talk"

"About?"

"Veronica, so we rather not delay this."

"Ok....come on in."

They stepped inside Betty's house.

"Would you like anything to drink?"

"No, it's fine. We really need to talk about Veronica anyways."

"Okay? Have a sit at the dining table."

They sat down. The tension between them was clear.

"So you wanted to talk about Veronica?" Betty asked attempting to loosen the tension.

"Yes we do, Veronica has told us about you. She told us that she wants to stop being friends with you because you are annoying. But she has never actually done it because she felt bad for you, you never had much friends until you met her. We just wanted to let you know of the situation, a Veronica has always been like this especially back in New York, lying about almost everything. We didn't want you to be hurt by her anymore that's why we decided to tell you this information. What you choose to do with it, it's your choice." Hermione said

Betty's face immediately darkened when she heard this information.

"What about what she told me about you abusing her? Pretty sure she wouldn't lie about that." Betty asked trying to convince them, and also attempting to convince herself.

"She told you that?!"

Betty nodded her head.

"I can't believe she said that. We would never abuse our daughter, we love her too much to do that. Veronica has always been a little troubled, but we wanted her to grow up in a normal environment. I'm really sorry about what Veronica said to you. If you are still in doubt about Veronica being troubled, we have some medical papers we can show you. We would have a little talk to her about what she's done. But now we really have to leave, Veronica should be waiting for us at home."

Betty nodded her head and showed the Lodges out. She was still in disbelief by what they said. She can't believe that she actually believed Veronica's lies. She can't believe she trusted her. It hurt her even more that the girl she loves lied to her.

While Betty was left alone with her thoughts, the Lodges went around town telling the same story they told to Betty to all of Veronica's friends minus a few details and changing the story a little to fit each individual.

Once they were done, while Veronica was sleeping peacefully, her phone had been blowing up with messages from her friends.

                                         Betty

I can't believe you lied to be,
I thought our friendship meant more.

                                       Cheryl

You stupid bitch! You are now
no longer my friend. Not after
how you lied and used me.

That day Veronica lost all of friends because of her parents. All of them were hurt that Veronica had lied to them.

Veronica's POV
I woke up from my nap, and I looked at my phone. It has been blowing up with texts from my friends. I wonder what was so important that all of them were texting me.  I scrolled through the text. My face fell.

"No they didn't just do that." I said to myself attempting to convince myself that my parents didn't  just ruin my friendships.

"Oh but we did.". I snapped my head up to see my mother leaning on the door frame.

"Why did you do that for?"

"It's not like they actually cared for you, we did you a favour. No one wants a broken piece of shit like you."
