25. Feelings

"Get your fucking hands off her," He growled, his voice was deep and serious.

The guy glared harshly, "She ain't yours, is she now? It seems to me that she's single and ready to-"

"This is my girlfriend, asshole. So I suggest you get the fuck out of here before I kill you..." Billy spat, tightly holding onto Veronica.

The dude clearly was not the fighting type so he gulped and stumbled back before running out of the restaurant.

Billy turned to Veronica, his expression was harsh. She looked down at her feet. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her slightly, "Don't fucking talk to strangers, okay?!"

She nodded and refused to make eye contact.

"Look at me when I talk to you!" He snarled, grabbing her chin and forcing her to look up at him.

His expression softened when he noticed the tears in her eyes. She was crying, he sighed and pulled her closer to him. "Sorry..." He said, "I'm sorry..."

Veronica cried and held onto him, he led her back to the booth and sat her beside him.

She sniffled softly and took a drink of her soda.

"Eat some more, okay?" Billy said, softly.

She shook her head, "I'm not hungry anymore..." He sighed and called over a waiter, "We'll get our check now, and a few boxes."

12:23pm

Veronica refused to sit in the front with Billy on the ride back to the house. She wouldn't talk to either of them, she was overwhelmed with too many emotions and feelings...

Billy didn't mention the incident in the restaurant to Stu. He decided to keep it between him and Veronica.

Veronica laid down the mattress in the back of the van, trying to think of anything else but what happened in the restaurant. She felt violated by the man. She hadn't had that happen before, ever...

She didn't want to be touched again after it... Except for Billy... Stu opened the door of the van for her and went to help her out, but she avoided his touch and hopped out herself.

He offered her his arm again for support, once again she avoided it.

Stu walked behind her confused, Billy walked beside her with a grin. They all entered the house and Billy locked all six of the locks on the door.

Veronica took her bags of things from Billy into her room and she shut the door behind her.

She undressed and put on her new underwear and pajamas.

She smiled softly to herself, the fabric was soft and it fit her perfectly. It was flattering on her.

Her smile faded as she stared into the mirror in front of her, she couldn't go on like this. This awkwardness between the two boys.

She could hear the TV playing in the living room along with the two boys arguing.

Veronica was stuck with them now, she couldn't bear the awkwardness between them all.

She took a deep breath and decided to do something about it. She opened and closed her door behind her, walking out to the living room.

"Can I watch with you guys?" She asked.

The two stopped fighting and looked over at her, "Sure thing baby, come on over." Stu grinned.

She went and sat between the two.

"Really guys? 'Friday the 13th Part 2'? Lame as hell, the original is always the best." She groaned.

"Man," Stu began, "You just don't get it. Fake-ass horror fan."

Veronica scoffed, "Fake?! If anything you're the fake horror fan! Not me!"

"Nah, if anything Billy's the fake horror fan. This guy watches it for the romance I bet!" Stu cackled, Veronica burst out laughing. "Shut the fuck up, douche bag." Billy smacked Stu on the back of the head.

"Ow!" Stu yelped. The two continued to bicker as Veronica watched the movie, soon dozing off.

The two didn't notice until the movie was over.

"Veronica?" Billy turned to look at her, "Veroni-" Her face was so emotionless, her features looked so much softer.

Stu got up and went to the fridge, Billy carefully lifted Veronica up and carried her into her room.

He gently laid her down in her bed and pulled the covers over her, making sure she wouldn't get too cold.

He sighed quietly and bent over. He pressed a kiss onto her forehead, "I love you... Ronette..."
