We all Need Someone to Save Us- Beronica

"I love you"

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Okay, can I just say we've almost hit 70 votes?!?!?!?!? I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH LIKE THANK YOU!!!! I never really thought people would actually enjoy reading my writing, but you guys have made me so happy with all of the love and support! I'm in a dark place right now and everything you guys say makes it so much easier! Okay, on with the story!

Veronica's POV:

It had been a couple days since Betty had gotten discharged from the hospital and sadly enough, I haven't seen her since. The most I've received was a text from her saying that her parents grounded her and took everything away; they were going to take her phone in a minute. But, even though I hadn't seen her, I just couldn't get her off my mind.

Our almost-kiss was playing on repeat in my head and I always got a big dopey smile on my face when it did, per Kevin's observations. I had just recently met Kevin, he was a new kid at the school now too. When we first met he told me, "I'm gay and if you don't accept that then I don't want to be your friend, so that's why I am telling you now." Of course I proceeded to squeal and say, "You're gay? Thank god. Let's be best friends!" 

Kevin is hilarious and honestly iconic. I am so glad to have him because I would be lonely otherwise. He doesn't know anything about Betty and all I told him was that I thought she was amazing and he shouldn't listen, in any way at all, to what people say about her. He accepted that he wasn't going to find out anything from me, quickly, and was so understanding about it.

"RONNIE!" A loud voice pulled me back down to Earth. "Penny for your thoughts?" Kevin asked, smiling. The guy seemed to radiate optimism, maybe that would be good for Betty. "Just thinking about how I can't wait for you to meet Betty!" I said in a playful voice. He started smirking. "What?" I asked, playfully pushing him. "You've got that smile on your face again. The one you always get when you talk about Betty. Are you sure you guys are just friends? That smile screams lovesick, honey." 

My jaw dropped a bit, like it always does when he teases me. "I swear! We're just friends! But..." I trailed off, thinking of the almost-kiss again. I knew I was smiling before he even said it."There it is again! I'm assuming you want to be more than that?" I smirked, feeling mischievous and I responded with, "What? You mean like best friends? Do you really think she would feel that way? Oh my gosh, I hope so!" I tried to sound innocent, but the smirk really did give it away. "Don't play dumb, Ronnie. I'm a lot of things, but gullible is not one of them." He said, mirroring my playful tone from earlier. I snickered, but then got serious. "So, what if I love her in a non-platonic way, it shouldn't matter to you Mr. Gay Best Friend."

He looked shocked, "Wait, you love her?" He asked. I slapped my hand over my mouth realizing what I just said. "Love who?" Oh my god. I know that angelic voice, it's Betty. My cheeks erupted into a fierce blush as I turned to look and sure enough she was standing there.

Betty's POV:

"Wait, you love her?" My heart dropped as I heard the unfamiliar voice ask that. "Love who?" I asked turning the corner. Shit, what if I read the whole situation wrong and she was only joking the other day when she said she felt the same way. I mean she never flat out said- "Uhhh... MY MOM!" Veronica said, way too loud. Oh great, she is lying now. I must have ruined everything. "Oh... so you can't even tell me her name..." 

Spinning around quickly, I exited the room, tears filling my eyes. I ran to the bathroom and upon arrival dropped to the floor trying not to cry. I can't believe I actually thought she would feel the same. I'm so stupid. Why the hell did I have to fail? I heard the door slam open, but didn't bother to look up.

"Betty?" I ignored her. "Betty, look. I'm sorry I lied, it just slipped and we're not even together yet and I didn't want things to be weird." My mouth fell open and I finally looked at her. "You mean, you love me?" "Yes Betty, I love you." She said, nervously. "I love you too, Veronica." 

I then grabbed her shirt, by the collar pulling her down to meet my lips. In the moment they finally touched, I felt light and happy. I no longer am the girl who got raped, I am no longer the slut, I am no longer the one who would get beat up, I am no longer alone, I am Veronica's love. The feeling of that was one that brought me strength, brought me light, brought me peace. I still have a long way to go, but with Veronica by my side, I have hope of seeing the the end of my depression. For now, I just deepen the kiss, run my hands into her hair, and enjoy the moment.

"Will you be my girlfriend Veronica?" "It would be a pleasure Elizabeth?" She smirked at using my full name, but I just rolled my eyes and pulled her into another kiss.

A/N: Idk, but I feel like this chapter was a bit all over the place??? Either way, they kissed! Betty's got hope! I'm so proud of my baby, I know she'll make it out, she has to! Why am I writing this like I'm commenting and not writing the story? Idk. Have a gay day though!!!
