As a small girl, she hoped for a prince to come and save her. But growing up she realized no one will save her and that she must save herself.
Now; dealing with family issues and fighting her parents who mentally abuse her was on top of her To-Do li...
I sigh and zip my bag after throwing in the final things. I lift it to hook it over my torso. I have zero time to process Veronika throwing herself at me and engulfing me in a tight hug. I hug her back just as tight if not tighter. She hides her face in my shoulder which makes my heart scream in pain.
I ran my palm over her back a few times. She does the same to me.
Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.
Someone hugs the both of us. I look up in surprise but once I see the familiar black hair I relax. Veronika giggles. "Group hug!"
I smile.
An awkward cough interrupts us.
David groans. "Why is he standing there and watching us hug?"
"I can hear you, sir."
"Good!" Dave barks back with narrowed eyes.
Both me and Veronika chuckle. Eventually, we pull away.
They stand beside each other. I bite my lip to hold back a laugh. They frown. "What's wrong."
"Your high difference is funny and somehow cute."
David grins and looks down at Veronika. She smiles and pats his stomach. "Don't add to his ego."
I smile. Yeah, I'm going to miss them. A lot.
Veronika hands me my plushie. I gratefully take it.
"Goodbye."
We stay silent and simultaneously cringe.
"Yeah no, fuck off guys." I turn to leave.
"Bye bitch!"
"Don't talk to me ever again."
I grin. This feels much more like it. I walk out of the building with the police guy in front of me. I hold my teddy tighter when we near the police car and there's no one there.
"Where is Victor?" I wonder.
He unlocks the door. "He had a job to do."
I load my bag inside the trunk. The frown on my face not leaving until we were both in the car and on our way to my house. I lean my head on the window. This is going to be a long ride.

I stand in front of the door I dread to go through. I look down at the teddy bear. This piece of material got me so attached to it that it's almost unhealthy.
Let's get this over with. I walk inside the house. I don't care about taking my shoes off I just go straight to my room. Once I get there I put my stuff down.
I sit down on my bed and take my phone.
