Summary: Veronica reflects at Park's birthday party.
Caesar's Palace: The Color Challenge - Green
Caesar's Palace: Anchors Away! - Day 3 - Prompt - Cry
Veronica always prided herself that she did her best to never be green with envy. Although she had a tough last few years, she tried to be grateful for everything she did have. She thought about how much worse it would have been if she didn't have her dad's support and guidance.
And she had a couple of great friends that were always there for her when she needed help. She would have been lost without Wallace and Mac.
But now, all she wanted to do was go home, climb into bed, curl into a ball, and cry. She was forced to watch Logan fawn over Parker. He threw her an extravagant birthday party and even had a cake—with their faces on it—made.
It was enough to make Veronica want to puke at the sheer cuteness of it all.
And she knew, deep down that if she had allowed it, Logan would have done all of that and more for her. He liked going all out for the people he cared about. And that was the part that made her green. It wasn't the birthday party itself. It was what the birthday party symbolized. He cared about Parker, and she wondered how important his newest girlfriend actually was.
The thought that Parker was already in the same position that Veronica had previously held hurt so much.
And it was no one's fault but her own. She was the one who refused Logan's apologies, too caught up with being angry and hurt. And now she had lost what had once been the most important relationship in her life.
Just then, Logan looked up, and their gazes locked. Her breath caught at the look in his eyes. Her heart fluttered lightly within her chest, and she suddenly knew it wasn't over. She hadn't lost him. Eventually, they would get back together. They were magnets. They couldn't stay away from each other forever and sooner or later, they would get it right.
