ᏟᎪᏞᏞ ᎷᎬ! | Scream | [PART THREE IS UP]

7. Accidental Party

Three more knocks.

"What do you want...?!" Veronica shouted over the loud music. She stood up and unlocked the door aggressively, opening it.

There stood Billy who's expression became concerned when he saw Veronica.

Her eyes were full of tears, they were red and puffy. Her lip was quivering and mascara was running down her face.

Billy took a step inside the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

"You okay?" He asked, his voice soft and caring.

She remained quiet and didn't know what to say, she shrugged and sunk down to the floor once again.

Billy bent down and sat beside her.

"Stu... He fucking invited everyone... It was just going to be the five of you and me." Veronica's voice wavered as she spoke.

"I've never had a party before... it was so overwhelming and I just couldn't..." Tears fell from her eyes.

Billy looked at her sincerely, "I'm sorry, Veronica... Stu is just a dumbass, the little fuckrag can't control himself." Billy sighed.

Veronica sniffled and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "I'm just scared to go back out there, it's so chaotic..."

Billy's eyes flickered over her face. He stood up and offered her his hand.

He grabbed a washcloth from the cabinet under the sink and turned on the faucet to wet it down.

He gently used the wash cloth to wipe her face with cool water.

"You know," He started, "Ronette would be a really pretty nickname for you... Can I call you that...?"

She smiled softly as he continued to wet down her face, "I'd love if you called me that, I like it."

Veronica looked at him as he did so, realizing just how amazing he was. He was sweet, incredibly attractive, and he cared about her.

She placed her hand over his, which was currently wiping away running mascara. He turned his attention from her cheek and to her eyes.

She subconsciously leaned closer to him, their noses nearly touching.

His breathing grew unsteady as she gazed into his eyes.

She could feel his breath pressing against her face.

The two moved closer, their lips nearly touched, when there was a loud bang on the bathroom door followed by cheering. They both flinched.

Veronica pulled away from him and looked around awkwardly.

Billy groaned quietly in disappointment.

Veronica looked towards the door, knowing that she couldn't hide in the bathroom all night.

"Here," Billy grabbed her hand. "I'll stay with you tonight, let me know if you get overwhelmed and I'll get you out."

Veronica looked at him and smiled softly, she leaned forward and embraced him in a hug.

He stumbled backwards, his breathing becoming shaky once again. Hesitantly he wrapped his arms around her, as if he was afraid he'd hurt her.

Veronica smiled again within the warm embrace, she really did like this boy. He was amazing, absolutely flawless...

Every moment he had her in his arms, he took full advantage of. It wouldn't last long, but he savored it.

She pulled away, grabbing his hand once again. Billy opened the bathroom door and led her out.

It soon became clear that the loud bang and cheering from before was from a fight between stoned jocks. They were still beefing. Billy shot death stares their way, this went unnoticed by Veronica, she was too busy looking down at her feet.

Billy's grip on Veronica's hand loosened. She looked up at him.

"Hey, I need to go take care of something. I'll be right back." He said, "Stay here."

She nodded reluctantly and crossed her arms. Billy broke up the two jocks' fight and led the two out of sight. He was probably going to tell them off for fighting. Or so Veronica thought...

11:26pm

Still no Billy.

He probably left... Veronica picked at her nails and sighed.

"Boo!" A voice said from behind her and two arms slithered around her waist.

She screamed and turned around to see Billy, she shoved him.

"Billy! You scared the shit out of me!" Veronica exclaimed, laughing.

"Aw, will you forgive me, Ronette~?" Billy said sarcastically.

"I dunno... You better make it up to me." Veronica put her nose in the air and turned away from him.

"How about... Oh! How about I buy you a VHS?" He suggested.

"Billy, I was joking." Veronica smiled.

"Nah, it'll be an early birthday present." He smiled back.

He intertwined his fingers with hers and started to walk to the living room. His grip on her hand tightened as they passed Stu.

Stu looked at the two and took notice of the hand holding. He looked away and went to go makeout with Tatum.

Billy sat Veronica down on the couch and offered to go get her a drink. She accepted his offer and he went off to her kitchen. He returned with two cans of Coca Cola. The two opened the cans and took a sip.

"Feeling better?" He asked.

Veronica nodded, "Now that I'm with you..."
