Confrontation
Alexander's POV
Veronica hasn't been the same recently.
She claims that the coat from the train was J.D's but she couldn't explain how it got there. She hasn't explained why she ran and magically found John. What is up with her?
"Guys, there is something Veronica isn't telling us." I say to all my friends, and Burr. Veronica is in her dorm and the rest of us are at Maria's dorm.
"I know, but what?" Peggy says.
"Guys, Veronica is a truthful person. We shouldn't be questioning our friend behind her back." John said.
"So explain why she didn't say anything to the police. If she is a truthful person then why didn't she talk about the coat or how she found you?" I say in an annoying tone.
"Guys! Stop it. The only thing we should be concerned about is how Veronica is. She hasn't been going to classes and she won't even let Peggy come in her room" Angelica said.
"True. I took a peak inside her dorm and she was holding her boyfriends trench coat as if J.D was in it. And when I asked if it was okay to come in she whispered 'Please leave me alone'" Peggy said.
"It's at least worth a shot to comfort her." Eliza said.
Veronica's POV
I stayed in bed just wondering what happened three days ago.
How did Heather accomplish this if she is dead? How did J.D know about this? Was J.D involved with this?
I get out of bed and look at myself in the mirror. I look like hell. I start to feel angry that Heather almost kill my friends. She almost choked Eliza to death. She caused all of us to worry like lunatics. She nearly pushed John out of a train, over a bridge!
My friends must think I'm crazy. They'll probably send me to a therapist, that equals more lies!
"Veronica, it's us. We wanted to talk to you" I hear Peggy say. You got this Veronica. No lies.
"Come in" I say. Everyone enters and just looks at me with worried eyes. I see that they want to say something but they can't say it.
"Guys, I'm sorry. I wasn't being honest with you. I'm just glad we found you John." I say. John smiles.
"Thanks V. If it wasn't for you, that person who tried to kill me would have succeeded." We share a hug and I shed a tear.
"Did you talk to your dad?" I ask
"Yeah, he doesn't seem to give two shits about what happened" He says. That pains my heart. How could family hate you like that? There was a long, painful five minutes of silence. Until Aaron spoke up.
"So?" Burr said.
"I can't exactly explain what happened. But I think I saw J.D and he was trying to help. He was leading us to John and, fuck you all must think I'm crazy." I say. I am now crying. Perfect."I don't" Alexander says. I give him a confusing look.
"Veronica, you're not the only one with dead loved ones. I sometimes see my mom. It's like Percy Jackson. Our loved ones helping us like Percy and his father" Alex say.
"Yeah, my brother James, he died under my care and I stilll feel his soul with me. Guiding me." John says.
"Same too. Our mother passed away and we aren't religoius but we pray for her and we sometimes hear her, right Angelica?" Eliza says. "Yeah. Veronica we all have that feeling. We see our loved ones and we will never think you're crazy." Angelica says.
"God, this feels like a Full House moment" Herc says. We all share a laugh.
"Thank you. I could never ask for better friends." I say gratefully.
"How about a movie night? Laf, your dorm seems avaliable" Peggy says.
"Finally! Burr, Theo, you coming to the movie night?" Laf says. Burr was about to answer but Theo answered for him. She said yes. Everyone else leaves since they have class. I, on the other hand have a free period. I start to relax and think about life and comics.
"I never seen you relax like that Ronnie" This bitch.
"Leave me alone! I had enough of you Heather!" I yell. She is not getting away with this.
"I thought you loved me. Also, I have a good scence of humor don't I?" She puts her hand on her heart as if she is hurt and then laughs. She is a phsyotic bi-polar skank.
"Yeah, that little stunt you pulled on the train wasn't funny. You nearly killed all of us."
"How do you know that wasn't Jason?" She says. This gets me thinking. J.D wouldn't do that...would he?
"He wouldn't" I say while gritting my teeth.
"I bet he did. He just hates when others call you Ronnie" This makes me flash back to when I was with J.D one day, after I killed Heather.
~Flashback~
"How many slushees do you drink everyday?" I ask
"It could be three to twelve" I punch his arm. "Ow! What was that for?" He asks.
"You're going to get cavities" I say.
"Never" He says smiling. We continue walking until a jock from my third period english comes up to me.
"Nice ass Ronnie" He says. I just role my eyes in annoyince but J.D takes it more seriously.
"Watch it man" J.D then procedes to punch the jock in the gut and throws him into the nearby ditch. He comes back and smiles at me and we continue to walk.
"Why the hell would you do that?" I say
"No one is allowed to call you Ronnie but me. Got it?" He says. Being half scared I just nod and we continue to walk.
~End of flashback~
"No" I say. "He isn't that crazy" I say. If there is one thing I know is that J.D likes real friends and John is a real friend.
"Whatever you say" I know that this her cue to leave but I want answers.
"Wait!" I say. Heather turns around and is smiling.
"Yes Ronnie" She says. I don't even bother to correct her.
"How did you do it? How did you take a solid form? How did you get J.D's coat? How did you know where everyone was at the same time?" I ask. She looks at me, then looks away, then looks at me again.
"There are so many things a spirit could do. You could do them as well but your suicide attempt failed." She then turns into thin air. Dammit she left. I sit on my bed and try to process what just happened. More importantly, did J.D try to kill John? Right now I'm not sure. Both J.D and Heather called me that. J.D is capable of defending me but Heather is a dictator and will do anything to make sure no one calls me Ronnie but her.
The more I think of it, the more I believe J.D did it. That is until I realize that he wouldn't do it as sneaky and if he did it he would physically show it. Heather though is sneaky and that is what happened on the train. In girl world, all the planning was done in secret. I am never going to doubt J.D again.
King Georges POV
Samuel and I were on our way to art class and we took our signiture short cut. Cutting through the girls dormitory.
"While painting my portrait of me, make sure my head is tilted and the robes are yellow, not red." I say. I continue to lecture him until we hear screams.
"What was that?" Samuel says. "I think it's coming from Peggy's dorm." I say. Being the good people we are, we eavesdrop to see what all the commotion is.
"Leave me alone! I had enough of you Heather!" We hear Veronica yell. I didn't know Peggy shared a dorm with her.
"Who is she talking to?" I ask Samuel. He just lifts his shoulders. We continue to listen to this converstation
"How did you do it? How did you take a solid form? How did you get J.D's coat? How did you know where everyone was at the same time?" Is she talking to the person who made the train stop? We continue to listen until no one is talking. We hear footsteps. Samuel and I run out of sight so she couldn't see us. After Veronica left we waited for the other person she was talking to come out. She never came out.
"Bloody hell" Samuel says. He is right.
"We should tell this to Jefferson" I say. Samuel agrees and we go to Jeffersons dorm instead of art class. Guess that potrait of me will have to wait.
