Chapter 2

The sun shone through the window causing Veronica to groan and roll over in bed. Her stomach still hurt this morning, and she felt like she was going to be sick again. Taking a breath through her nose she held it and then exhaled through her mouth, something that she did whenever she felt sick. This morning however that wasn't working and Veronica found herself jumping out of bed and running to the bathroom, once again puking.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" She asked herself as she wiped her mouth, before brushing her teeth, and walking back to her bed, all she wanted to do was go back to sleep.

Crawling back into her bed, Veronica picked up her cellphone, to check the time, before sighing when she saw that it was seven thirty am. Usually she wouldn't be up for a couple of hours especially since they were on Christmas break, but she had rolled over in her sleep and severe stomach pain, and nausea had woken her up.

"I hope I'm feeling better later…" Veronica whispered as she laid her head down on the pillow, she really wanted to see Archie in a few hours, when her parents went to the lodge for their somewhat annual second Christmas dinner. Veronica was grateful that at least her stomach was starting to feel better now, so she hoped that she would be able to get a few more hours of sleep.

Nick watched as the sun rose over the horizon, he had woken up before sunrise, just like he always did. Waking up that early gave him time to think, and these days he had lots to think about. His parents were dead, he was all alone now and he wanted revenge. The problem was that he didn't know how he was going to get his revenge. Veronica was who he wanted, he had always wanted her, and even though it was her fault that his parents were dead, he still loved her or maybe lusted was a better word. Nick looked down at the picture of her and that annoying red head, Archie, kissing. Causing Nick's anger to boil over the longer he stared at the picture, it wasn't fair, Veronica shouldn't get to have a happy ending after what she had put him through. But the question that Nick couldn't answer was how was he going to get to her?

"William!" Nick yelled.

"Coming Mr. Clair!" William yelled almost right away.

Nick smiled when he heard William's footsteps running towards his office, William never kept him waiting for too long.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Clair?" William asked running into the room.

"I need ideas." Nick said turning his chair to face William.

"With what, Mr. Clair?" William asked confused.

Nick stood up, "walk with me."

William followed Nick out of his office; leading him downstairs and into the cafeteria where there was a brown bag on one of the tables.

"I bought you breakfast." William said pointing to the bag.

Nick smiled and patted William on the back.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." He said before sitting down at the table and began eating the breakfast sandwich.

Nick had met William completely by accident in the hospital right after his parents had passed away, he had gone to get a coffee, since he hadn't wanted to sleep, because every time he closed his eyes all he could see were his parents lying there dead. When Nick had walked into the hospital cafeteria he had spotted William sitting at one of the tables.

"Are you alright?" Nick had asked.

William had looked up at him, his eyes had been red from crying, "I'm fine."

"I'm getting a coffee, would you like one?" Nick had offered William.

Nick remembered the confused look on William's face when he had looked up at him, "why are you being so nice to me?"

"Well you seem upset…"

William had laughed, "I know who you are, Mr. Nick Clair, and you're not nice to anyone without wanting something in return."

Nick had sat down, "listen, all I want right now is someone to talk to."

"How come?"

Nick looked down at his hands sadly, "my parent's just passed away."

William's eyes grew wide and his jaw fell open, "I… I am so sorry."

Nick forced a smile, but it wasn't genuine, "don't worry about it; I know I'm not well liked."

"Well let's talk." William had said. And that's when William had explained to Nick how his girlfriend had just left him, and he couldn't afford the place that they had been renting so now it was looking like he was going to be living on the street. Nick had taken pity on William, he seemed like a nice guy, and that's when he had offered him a job, which William had gladly accepted. Now Nick had William spying on Veronica, although he was still in the dark as to why. All that William knew was what Nick had told him last night, that he wanted to destroy Veronica's happiness. William knew better then to ask too many questions; Nick had warned him that if he pissed him off then he would be on the street.

"How's the sandwich, Mr. Clair?" William asked.

"It's good, William, thank you."

"What would you like me to do today?" William asked finishing his breakfast sandwich.

Nick thought for a moment, "I don't know." He admitted.

"Do you want me to go spy on Veronica some more?"

Nick thought for a moment, he knew that if he was going to kidnap Veronica then he would have to figure out a time to do so when she was alone. Nick didn't have time to spy on her outside her house and wait for her stupid parents to leave; not to mention he had to find a place where he could keep Veronica after he kidnapped her.

"You know what, William," Nick said smiling, "I do have a job for you."

William listened intently as Nick began explaining the next part of his plan to him.

Betty rolled over in bed, picking up her cellphone; she smiled when she saw that it was Jughead. Even though he had stayed surprisingly late last night, her Mother had allowed him to stay until almost midnight, Betty missed him already.

"Good morning, beautiful." Betty smiled reading the text.

"Morning." Betty responded.

"We should meet up at Pop's for breakfast, and then the two of us can come back to my place."

Betty smiled and bit her bottom lip, she knew what Jughead meant by going back to his place.

"Sounds good," Betty replied, "I'll see you in a bit."

Getting out of bed, Betty walked to her closet and pulled out the new lingerie that Veronica had given her a few weeks ago. Unlike the black one she had worn to FP's welcome home party this one was a two piece, but it was completely sheer only her boobs were covered, but it did have panties. Betty smiled hopefully Jughead would enjoy seeing this lingerie since no one else was going to see her in it. After she was dressed she put her hair up in her typical ponytail, and kept her make-up pretty simple.

Taking one last look at herself in the mirror, before walking downstairs Betty glanced into the living room where Alice was sitting drinking her coffee. As Betty walked down the stairs she eyed her suspiciously.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet Jughead at Pop's for breakfast." Betty said.

"What are you doing after that?"

Betty felt her face go red from embarrassment, but it didn't look like her Alice noticed, "we're probably just going to hang out." She said nonchalantly.

"I want you back before dinner."

"Yes Mom." Betty said walking out the door.

Veronica sighed rolling over in bed, her stomach felt a bit better but she still didn't feel one hundred percent.

"Veronica!" Hermione called, "come here!"

Veronica rolled over in bed, picking up her cellphone, it was nine thirty am

"Why am I feeling so tired?" Veronica asked running her fingers through her hair, she had gotten over eight hours of sleep last night, so she shouldn't be feeling as if she got none at all.

"Veronica!" This time Hiram called her name, "Did you hear your Mother?!"

Veronica sighed, "I'm coming!" She yelled getting out of bed. Before she walked out of her room she grabbed her cellphone, since she was expecting to hear from Archie pretty soon. Veronica wondered if she should cancel her plans for today, since she still felt like she was going to be sick, but she also didn't want to be alone today.

"Ah there you are." Hiram said smiling at Veronica when she walked into the living room.

"Morning." Veronica said yawning.

"Are you feeling alright?" Hermione asked concerned, making Veronica wonder if she looked as bad as she felt.

"You do look awfully pale." Hiram said equally as concerned.

"Maybe we should cancel our dinner tonight," Hermione suggested.

Veronica sat down shaking her head, "don't be silly I'll be fine."

"It's no problem cancelling," Hiram said taking Veronica's hand, "you're more important.

Veronica smiled, "thanks Daddykins, but honestly it's probably just the twenty four hour flu."

"If we go then you're going to be all alone…" Hermione said.

"I am?" Veronica asked surprised, "where's André?"

"I gave him the day off," Hiram said, "since he had to work yesterday."

Despite how crappy Veronica was feeling in that instance she felt happy that her and Archie were going to be truly alone, she wouldn't have to send André downstairs and worry about him walking in.

"I'll call the lodge, and cancel." Hiram said taking out his cellphone.

"No!" Veronica said a little too loudly, she quickly cleared her throat and smiled, "I mean, you guys should go."

"But what about…"

Veronica cut Hermione off, "I'll take some medicine and I'll be fine."

Hermione looked at Hiram unsure, "what do you think?"

"If Veronica's one hundred percent sure…"

"I am."

"Then I think we should go." Hiram said finishing his sentence.

Veronica smiled standing up, "I'm going to go get some breakfast." She said walking into the kitchen, as soon as she was out of ear shot she took out her phone texting Archie.

Archie picked up his cellphone, a smile growing on his face when he saw that it was Veronica.

"Are you texting Veronica?" Fred asked walking into the kitchen.

"What gives you that idea?" Archie asked nonchalantly.

Fred smirked, "whenever you're texting her you get a big stupid smile on your face."

"I do not!" Archie said a little too defensively.

Fred laughed, "Sure whatever you say."

Archie laughed as well, as he responded to Veronica's text. She had invited him over at around three thirty this afternoon. Sighing he looked at the clock it was only nine thirty, today was going to drag by.

Veronica began gagging at the smell of her egg cooking, taking a deep breath she tried to make her nausea go away. But once again it didn't work, holding her mouth Veronica ran to the sink throwing up.

"That's it…" Veronica said, "I am taking some Pepto," she said walking out of the kitchen, glancing in the living room Hermione and Hiram were no longer in there.

"Perfect," Veronica thought, before quickly walking to the bathroom. After she walked in she shut the door and opened the medicine cabinet, gasping when she saw the box of tampons. Veronica's eyes widened as she remembered that she hadn't had her period this month yet, and she was over three weeks late.

"Oh no…" Veronica whispered touching her still very flat stomach, could the way she was feeling be because she was pregnant?

Veronica quickly pushed the thought out of her mind, so much had happened the past month that had stressed her out, besides she had missed her period in months past. She had just had way too much food last night that was it.

Taking the pepto out of the medicine cabinet, Veronica took some, hoping that this would make her feel better.
