Veronica had run off. You didn't know why or who had caused her to be that upset. She pushed past you in the hallway, tears glazing her brown eyes. You pushed through the crowd after her and watched as she pulled her necklace off. A pearl rolled towards you and stopped at your foot.

"V? What's wrong?" You walked forwards.

"(Y/N)-I-I nothing," she wiped her tears. "Nothing"

"Veronica, I saw you crying. Your pearl hit my foot"

"It's my dad," she turned around. "I found out he lied again, to me and my mom"

"Ronnie, I'm sorry" you hugged her from behind.

"It's fine. I'm used to it"
