Too Hard To Find (Book Two)

Broken Heart

Short Chapter
9 Days Until The Wedding
Veronica's POV

I woke up alone. I figured Xavier would come after I fell asleep. Where is he now? I got up and opened the door. I immediately heard whisper-yelling. It's like somebody was trying to be quiet, but not caring if anybody heard at the same time. I couldn't really make out what they were saying. I slowly started to move closer to the voices. There was four different voices.

"Shut up! She is sleeping in the other room!" That's Xavier.

"That's just great! Are you really doing this to her?" And that's Sophia. She sounds like she's mad or something.

"Look, we didn't mean for it to happen. It just happened." He said.

"That shouldn't give you an excuse! She's my bestfriend and you're hurting her." Aaron said. I sighed. What the hell is going on?

"Its not hurting her if she doesn't know." Xavier said.

"Are you kidding me right now?" Sophia said.

"Please don't tell Veronica. I only got her to trust me again. I was such a bitch her in highschool." It was Betty. She sounded worried. I quickly figured it out. I felt the tears in my eyes. This can't be happening to me. I slowly walked ar oi und the corner. Nobody noticed me.

"Well, clearly, you still are a bitch." Sohpia said.

"How could you do this to Veronica." Aaron said.

"Well, I don't really know. But, she's been off since we got here. I knew coming here would be a mistake. Then, Betty came over here the other day and..." she trailed off.

"Oh, so this isn't even the first time!" Sophia said.

"Will you be quiet!" He said.

"I think it's a bit to late for that." Betty said who was looking at me. Xavier quickly stood up.

"Veronica! Baby, how much of that conversation did you hear?" He asked. I was trying not to cry here.

"Enough to know that I don't want to see your face ever again. And never call me baby again!" I said walking back to the room. He followed me.

"Veronica, please. Let me explain." He said.

"I think I've heard enough." I told him.

"Please. She was a mistake! I never wanted it to happen." He tried to tell me.

"Really? Cause it sounded like it's happened before too." I said. He sighed.

"Well, it did." He said quietly.

"You are really not helping yourself right now. Just leave me alone! I never want to see you again." I said.

"Where an I supposed to go?" He asked.

"Go live with Betty." I said.

"I can't. Her boyfriend lives there." He said and I laughed.

"Wow! I guess I'll stay with someone else for the time being. Goodbye." I said and left.

How could he do this to me? I knew forgiving Betty would have been a bad idea. When was the night before? It was probably the night I stayed with Jughead. I don't even feel bad about that anymore. He broke my heart. Betty hurt me. Again!? Now I have to figure out where to go. I'm now crying like crazy and not exactly sure where I'm going. But I eventually get somewhere. I don't even know how I found my way places. I had stopped crying by now, but you could easily tell I was crying. I was standing in front of his trailer. Jughead. I don't care where I'm at, I just need a friend. He might not even let me in, but whatever. I quickly knocked. The door opened seconds later.

"Veronica? Veronica, what happened?" He asked worriedly. I just started crying again and he pulled me into a hug. "Come on." He said and I went inside. He shut the door and hugged me again. "What happened?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I just need a friend right now." I said.

"Okay, okay." He said and just to continue to hug me. I felt safe in his arms. I'm just glad that he doesn't hate me.
