Veronica Mars-
Pizonica
Piz sat at the table beside Parker and Logan. He wondered if now was his chance. Maybe now he could tell Veronica how he felt. He sat there with his back to Logan and his new girlfriend smiling at this opportunity. The next thing he knew he was up in his dorm room writing down all his feelings. Word by word pouring his heart out onto this sheet of paper. He imagined how Veronica would react.
He knew that she wouldn't react exactly how he had imagined. "Oh my, I feel that way about you too Piz." That just wasn't her 'style'.
He sat there and wondered whether or not to give it to her. If she felt the same, well, that would be fantastic. But what if she didn't? It would be awkward. 'And let's face it, I'm awkward enough as it is' he thought to himself. He sat there for several minutes, crumpling and uncrumpling the paper.
He finally decided he would do it. He couldn't be a push-over any longer. He's watched Logan hurt her too many times. He placed the paper under a heavy book to flatten it out, and to keep Wallace from seeing it. He went to sleep to rest his mind. Tomorrow was to be a big day for Piz.
The next day he woke to a knock on the door. He slowly opened his eyes and stumbled his way to the door. It was her. He scrambled to fix his hair and grab the paper that he had written the night before. He opened the door.
"Hey Piz, is Wallace here?" She asked clueless as to why he had a wrinkled sheet of paper in his hand.
"Uh, no...But um- I." He stuttered.
"Well, can you tell him I stopped?" She asked.
"Umm, sure. Do you want to come in, or uh..?" He asked
"No, I was just on my way to class. Do you know where he is?"
"No, no. Umm I just woke up. He's probably at class or something." He said nonchalantly.
"Uh, okay. Uh, bye?" she said and turned to go
"Come back now 'ya hear!" He yelled jokingly.
She chuckled.
He watched her until she had gone completely out of his sight. He paced around his room mumbling "Stupid, stupid, stupid". He wanted to chase after her but he was, like always, too shy. He wondered if he'd missed his opportunity.
The rest of the day he sat home thinking about all the things he should have said. Going over all the possibilities in his mind. But, that piece of doubt, that she wouldn't feel the same was still there.
Finally, around 7:00PM he decided he had to do it now. This is the best time. He knew what he was going to do and say right down to the hand gestures. He threw his coat on and headed out the door for Veronica's house.
He knocked on the door, it opened.
"Uh, hi Mr.- Keith- Uh, Mr. Mars. Is –uh-Veronica here?" He said clearly uncomfortably.
"No, she's not. Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Uh Piz, I'm a friend of Veronica from school. Uh, from Hearst-uh Hearst Collage." He said rambling anxiously
"Oh. Well, she's not here. I'll tell her you stopped though."
"No, no-uh that's okay."
"Okay? Bye then…" He said closing the door confused.
Piz pulled out his phone ready to call her.
Where could she be? Is she okay? Should I call? Will it make me seem desperate?
He instead called Wallace realizing he hadn't heard from him in a few days. He called and his voicemail picked up. He didn't think anything of it and went home.
No Wallace there either.
He went to the phone and dialed Veronica. He practiced saying 'hello'. He noticed that his voice sounded shaky, so he cleared his throat.
She didn't answer either. At this point he was wondering what was going on. Where were they?
Thinking Logan might know something he called him.
Thankfully he answered.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Logan. Do you know where Veronica is?"
"Who's this?"
"Piz. Wallace's roommate"
"Oh, well, I haven't heard from her. But, I think she's at the hospital."
"What?! Why, is she okay? What's going on?" He asked nearly shouting.
"She's fine. It's-It's Wallace. You didn't hear? He was in an accident…She's there with him."
Piz didn't say anything. He hung up the phone sat there in disbelief.
How could this happen? He thought. The day I was going to tell her how I felt…he quickly stopped in fear of sounding selfish. He ripped up the paper and rushed to the hospital.
