Veronica's POV
I wake up and my mind goes straight to leaving this town and going back to college where all my friends are, but I still wanna know why my dad wants me to leave so bad he's the one who begged me to come back home for the summer.
I walk down stairs to get some breakfast but while getting my cereal I get a text from a random number.
792-265-75818
Hey it's JJ from the race. I was wondering if we could meet up?
I suddenly got a burst of happiness I immediately texted him back.
Veronica Jones
Hey yeah we can meet up before i head back to college today, is 3:45 alright for you?
JJ Miller
Yeah of course I'll see you at 3:45
It was already 11:30 and I had all packed and ready to hit the road for a 2 hour road trip back to college. But I couldn't get my mind off JJ I was already so thrilled to get to see him again. God I sound like a clingy ass girlfriend. God no Veronica don't we don't need him.
I looked down at my phone and it was already 12, iv'e been fighting with myself for half an hour. God Veronica you gotta stop doing that. I quickly rushed upstairs to get all my stuff ready
After a while of packing and cleaning up this god for saken room my father comes in and looks at him with a weird ass face. I will never understand this man.
"When are you leaving?" he asks without looking at me
"Around 3 why?" I ask
"You need to leave sooner, you need to be out the house by 1. Understand? " My dad replies while pointing to me.
"Fine, you know you were the one who begged me to come home from college. I left my friends for the summer to come here and now you want me out not even a month into the summer. Talk about being an asshole." I drop the shit in my hands and stand up
"I should have never came, you were never there when I was a kid and you aren't now. So how are you any different, I should have never trusted you again. Not after what happened to mom" I yell at him
"It's for your fucking safety Veronica, I'm making you leave because of the business." He yells at me.
"Bullshit, I've been apart of the ' Family ' business forever. I grew up in the goddamn mafia dad. That's what the family business is, the fucking mafia. And because we were in the mafia you were never fucking there, I had a father never a dad. I was 5 fucking years old training and getting ready for the family, while not having you around I never had a childhood. I never got to be a kid, and after mom" I was cut off by my own tears, I pushed them back before they could fall
"After mom was killed. In front of me might I add I was never the fucking same. So for you to say it's for my goddamn safety is fucking bullshit and you know it."
"I'm 22 fucking years old I can handle my own fucking shit, You took my childhood away from me to train me for the mafia. I'm not about to have you take away my adult hood to. I don't need your help anymore I'll be fine without you"
He looks me dead in the eye and punches me right in the jaw after he hit me I look a him and he walks out of my room. That asshole, fine I'll give him what he wants I'll leave sooner. So I picked up my phone and texted JJ.
Veronica Jones
Hey JJ I was wondering if we could meet up sooner, like around 1:30?
JJ Miller
Yeah for sure
After texting JJ I finish packing has fast as I could and packed my shit in my car
" Veronica Jones get your ass over here." I hear my father yell from his office
"The hell do you want."
"I know your not leaving without saying your sorry." He say while typing on his computer
This man really wants me to say sorry. wow
" yeah I was gonna leave without saying I was sorry, I was gonna leave without saying goddamn word to you." I yell at him while crossing my arms across my chest
My father chuckles " Veronica, Veronica Jones. You know you messed up right"
" The hell I did your the one who fucking hit me." I explain
My father gets up from his seat and grabs his gun from out of his pants, once its out from his pants he points it to my forehead.
"I'm just trying to keep your ass safe, remember that." My father says while pointing the gun harder into me.
I laugh at him, who does he think he is " Father, you don't scare me. I don't need your goddamn safety, your safety can go suck a dick." I grab the gun from out of his hands and put it in my pants
"I'm taking this and I'm leaving. Hopefully I don't see you for a long ass while" I slam his office door and walk out of the house
I hop into my car and start driving away I turn on some music and just start speeding away. I text JJ to ask where he wants to meet up and he just sent me a location. I pull up to the parking lot where I see JJ siting on his car on his phone.
I get out of my car and yell at the boy in his car" Hey pretty boy."
JJ looks away from his phone to look at me, as soon as he looks at him he comes over to me to give me a hug.
"Hey Jones, so I heard your going back to college today." He ask while bringing him to his side
"Yeah I am, sadly"
"What college do you go to?" He asks.
"Boston, Boston university." I declare
"Holy shit no fucking way, I go to Boston to!" he says like an exited 2 year old
"I leave tomorrow, my buddy is having a party tomorrow night, you should come bring some friends." He explains while still smiling.
"Yeah of course, party's are my favorite and a party is just what I need. and alcohol" I laugh
"Alright that's great, I'll tell him that your coming and that your gonna brings some friends. I'll see you tomorrow night beautiful" He pulls me in for a kiss
"Alright pretty boy." I laugh in between the kiss
"Wait hold up gorgeous" JJ says while grabbing my wrist.
"What's up?"
"Your face" he grabs my chin and looks at my face
"What about it?" I try lying
"Who hit you? You have a bruise across your face." JJ says with a concerned face
Shit you can see the bruise my asshole of a father left
" Oh shit umm it's nothing really. Nothing to worry about." I response while trying to cover up my bruise.
"Veronica, who the fuck hit you?" JJ says while getting mad
"JJ its nothing really, just forget about it I'm Fine. I'll see you at the party tomorrow okay?"
" Fine Veronica..."
