Hey so I was watching Veronica Mars season two and this is what I imagine was going through the minds of other characters than veronica when the bus crashed and in the immediate after math
Duncan POV
I kept thinking about Veronica cause I didn't see her on the bus. Beaver had this weird look on his face like a mixture of hate and guilt. Next thing I knew Gina Goodman the new girl screamed " it went off the cliff the bus went off the cliff" she screamed all I could think about was Veronica I could lose her not again, "Dick pull this thing over right now, I jumped from the limo before it could even stop and I ran to the cliff hoping she'd be there but when I got there all I could see was bus sinking to the bottom of the sea carrying with it the love of my life with I ran to the other side of the road. " no no no veronica why why didn't you just get in the limo with me you owned her nothing this is all my fault" I broke down to my knees and began to cry. Then I heard a motorcycle approach. I looked up across the road and their she was. I had never been so happy to see anyone in my whole entire life. "veronica" I yelled and ran to her all I wanted in that moment was hold her in my arms I just needed to reassure my heart and my mind that she really was okay. "I I thought I'd lost you Veronica I love you,you know that right" I told as I held her close "I know Duncan and I love you, don't worry I right here and that's where I gonna stay"
