VJ: Okay this is for Jenn Yuy Barton. Thank you for reviewing and I did review your story. Well here's the story.
Veronica and Trowa were almost to her house. She spotted her two younger sisters on the porch. When the littlest one saw them she ran inside. Trowa and Veronica walked up to the porch stairs.
"Hey." Said the thirteen-year-old girl sitting on the porch swing reading.
"Hi Mel." Said Veronica.
Just then a women with dark brown hair past her shoulders and glasses came rushing out the door. "Aahh!" she cried walking up to Veronica. "Angel was right! You are hurt bad! How did you get that?"
"I tripped." Said Veronica, she wasn't really lying.
"Does it hurt bad? Is it deep?"
"Mom relax. I'm okay." Just then a six-year-old girl with blonde hair came out. "Hi Angel." Said Veronica.
"Hi 'Ronica," She said. "Mommy she's with a boy."
"I see that. Who is this boy?" asked the women.
"Mom this is Trowa," said Veronica. "Trowa this is my mom, Amy McCloud."
"Nice to meet you." Said Trowa.
"Nice to meet you too," said Amy. "Oh I forgot to tell you Mike is on the phone."
"Okay," Said Veronica. "Well I've gotta go. So I'll see you tomorrow."
Trowa nodded. Then turned and started to walk away.
Melanie, Angel and Amy went inside.
"Come on I'll fix up your scrapes." Called Amy as they went inside.
"Okay." Said Veronica. She stood there watching Trowa walk away then she turned and went inside. "Where's the phone at?" she asked when they were inside.
"On the counter." Called Amy.
Their house was pretty big. When you walked in the door the living room was in front. It had a couch, a TV, two rockers, and a coffee table. If you went to the right you entered the kitchen. The kitchen was very big it had counters on both walls, a fridge, and an island counter in the middle. If you were in the kitchen to the right was the counter with the sink and a window, to the right there was a doorway that lead into the dining room, and if you went straight through the kitchen you entered a hallway that had stairs to the second floor and her parents bedrooms.
Veronica walked into the kitchen and saw the phone on the island counter. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hi!" said the voice on the other end.
"Hi Mike!" said Veronica. "What's up?"
"Not much. Just finally got some free time." Answered Mike.
"Yeah I just got home from school."
"Do you still hate it?"
"Yes. Defiantly. I wish I was still home schooling."
"Yeah. I was in the IP today. So normally I wouldn't be on the phone right now," said Mike. "But they say 'I'm troubled' and 'I need someone to talk to.'"
"What's the IP?" asked Veronica.
"Intense Punishment, basically a padded room.
"What'd you do this time?"
"I ran down the hall," said Mike. "And I said screw you to another kid."
"Oh brother. I could see the screw you part, but running down the hall? Sheesh."
"I know, I hate it here. But with the suicide thing."
"Yeah. So when are they gonna let you out?" asked Veronica.
"Sometime next week," said Mike. "I also wanna thank you."
"For what?"
"For stopping me when I was on the bridge."
"No problem. I didn't want to loose my best friend."
"Yeah now that I look back I'm glad you stopped me. I don't know what I was doing."
"Don't mention it."
So Veronica and Mike continued to talk for another hour.
Trowa walked down the street towards the house the Preventors had gotten for them. The house was only a block from Veronica's house. On the walk to the house he thought about why he had offered to walk her home and why she was so different. She didn't seem to have any friends at school. Thought Trowa. He went up to the house unlocked the door and went in.
The house was fairly big when you walked in the door you went into the living room. It had a TV, a couch, and two chairs. If you kept going you went into the kitchen. It had a couple counters and a fridge. There were five bedrooms in the house. The only problem was that nine people were supposed to live there. We're probably going to have to bunk. Thought Trowa as he walked into the kitchen.
He pulled a water bottle out of the fridge and took a drink. He looked around the house. It felt empty. Still no one was in his way. He switched on the radio. Drowning Pool was on. He turned it up a little louder.
VJ: Wondering who the characters are? Here you go.
Veronica McCloud: Me. Heh heh. Not my real last name. I used Fox's name, from Starfox. I have blue eyes. Sometimes I wear glasses but I have contacts.
Amy McCloud: not a real person. But she's kind of like my mom, not exactly though.
Melanie McCloud: not a real person. Is kind of like my sister. Has shoulder length dark blonde hair and blue eyes.
Angel McCloud: not a real person. Was inspired and is kind of like my little sister. I thought it was ironic. She's actually not an angel. She has blue eyes.
Michael Davis: Not a real person. He has black hair and gray eyes. I do have friend kind of like him though.
VJ: Okay I'm sorry if he's out of character but you don't know what he does when he's by himself. I added Drowning Pool because they're one of my favorite groups. Please R&R!
