You're My Forever

Ring Return | 66

The Next Day...

All I really wanted to do was try to talk to Roni again. I still haven't done that obviously and I was getting impatient. I was pretty sure it was going to go terribly, but still. I couldn't stand this.

I had to try and talk to her today. Even though a part of me knew I'd probably regret this...

Veronica's P.O.V...

I sighed as I got out of bed before going to my closet to get ready for another dreadful day.

I got dressed in black ripped jeans with a grey cropped t-shirt and a black windbreaker over it. I left my hair down, brushed my teeth, then went to school.

Last Period...(Jackson's P.O.V)

All day pretty much, I've been chickening out. I've had multiple opportunities to pull Roni aside and try to talk to her but each time, I was too scared to actually do it.

So this was kind of my last chance. I had to do it this time or else I'd have to wait until tomorrow.

Veronica's P.O.V...

I was about to walk into my last period classroom but I stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and literally felt my heart drop when I saw it was Jack. I maybe expected this to happen yesterday, but when it didn't, I assumed it wasn't ever going to happen. So that just made me even more surprised and unprepared for this.

"H-Hey.. Can we talk for a minute?" He spoke super quietly, sounding a little bit nervous. I didn't even know what to say.. I was definitely not ready to talk to him. "Why would I-I wanna do that..?" I said back, even more quietly. "I get why you wouldn't, but please.. I never got to say my side of this." He told me pleadingly.

What he said just made me mad. I already knew his side of this. Ema told me. There was nothing else to say.

I grabbed Jack's wrist and started pulling him away from this partially crowded hallway. The rage inside me was clearly shown through my fast walking pace and my tight grip on his wrist. We gained a couple stares from other people in the hallway as I continued to pull him.

Luckily, there was this small place on this floor where there were two sofas and a balcony that overlooked to the atrium. Nobody was there right now since everyone was now in class. I pulled him there and aggressively let him go when we got there.

"What could you possibly have to say about 'your side of this', Jack? I already know it all, Ema told me." I said to him firmly with my anger very audible as I crossed my arms. "But what she said isn't true! I would NEVER do something like that to you!" He said back quickly and eagerly.

"I saw the fucking messages Jackson!" I shouted, beginning to tear up. "For a whole freaking month pretty much, o-our relationship has been fake! What happened to being in love with me?! Because if that was ever really true, y-you'd never do something like this to me! Clearly you lied about that too." I continued to blow up at him, my eyes continuing to fill with tears.

"Roni please!" He said back quickly, sounding desperate as his fingers pushed back his hair before gripping the roots of it. It actually looked as though he was tearing up as well. Wow, I didn't know he knew how to fake cry... "I-I am so fucking in love with you, you don't even understand how much I love you! And I didn't do anything she said a-and I never sent the messages! Ema set e-everything up, she--" I cut him off, not wanting to hear any more of his lies.

"Was I not enough for you?" I asked him impulsively just as a tear slipped down from my eye. My own eyes widened a little bit as I realized what I just said. I didn't think about that AT ALL before saying it.. That thought has never even occurred to me...
