The Yearly 365 Challenge
Prompt #360 (Gene) Hurt/Comfort
"He left you." Reggie rolled his eyes upwards at the stubborness of the girl whom was standing straight at the wall. "He didn't even bother telling you that he was leaving." He folded his arms across his chest.
"He just wants to make sure my father can't trick me into telling him anything." Veronica sighed; worry and deep raw anger in her eyes.
Reggie softned. "I'm sorry ... I shouldn't be try to use this to play off that Archie isn't the one for you. It's very low of me seeing how ..."
"Don't." Veroncia spoke with steel in her voice.
Reggie held up his hands. "Sorry. So have you heard from Betty yet?"
Hurt over came Veronica. "Don't." She repeated in a weak voice.
"Your father isn't after Betty; her being sent to the Sister's of Quiet Mercy is all her mother's doing." Reggie took a step forward. He stopped at the look in her eyes. "She's my friend also Veronica; you aren't the only one whom needs comfort due to her situation."
Veronica's eyes narrowed. "I don't need your comfort Reggie Mantle. Not your style." She stormed towards the door. Pausing before opening it. Her head twisted to look at Reggie once more; "I wouldn't try getting Jughead to find comfort in you either Reggie; I would hate to see Jughead beat the living shit out of you." She opened the door and left.
