Disclaimer: I don't own Veronica Mars.
There is a body on the ground. That much, she can see. An internal sense of foreboding calls her away, but all the same, she is drawn to this grizzly scene. There is a scar, she can clearly see on the victim's ankle, and suddenly, she feels woozy. I have that scar too, she thinks, remembering the incident that warranted it. A 7th grade sneak out mission…they'd both fallen in exactly the same spot.
"This marks it. We'll be friends forever." She'd said laughing. She was always laughing, and all Veronica had wanted to do was believe her. A large gust of wind blows through, shaking her out of her reverie, and she notices a lock of honey colored hair not matted down by blood flutter into view. All at once, her surroundings are familiar, and the figure on the ground less blurred. Lilly
"No!" She screams, falling to her knees, the concrete on the patio biting into her knees, "Lilly, no!" Grabbing her hand, she tries to coax her out of her sleep. "Lilly, wake up. Wake up! Please wake up!" But her body, clad in her Pep Squad uniform doesn't move. Sobs wrack her chest, and she falls back, against the ground, against the cold concrete which seems to have stolen the very essence of her friend. Her knee has bled a little from her fall, and as she pulls the body once named Lilly to her, their blood mixes. They are now connected forever.
Somewhere, she's sure, there is a buzzing alarm with her name on it. "Don't wanna get up." She mumbles against her pillow accidentally hitting her leg against the bedpost, her entire body shuddering in a second of pain. Your Achilles Heel, Lilly had laughingly called it, and Veronica sits up, vividly remembering the contents of her dream. Lilly. Stumbling out of bed, she searches for the phone, frantically spinning in circles until she sees it, nestled peacefully under the duvet she must have kicked off during the night. She punches the numbers in carefully, impatiently waiting for the phone to connect and ring.
"'Lo?" Lilly's sleepy voice mumbles from the other end, and Veronica sags with relief, hanging up without even saying a word.
A/N: I know it's short, but it has a buddy chapter that I'm posting it with. I've learned my lesson with posting really short chapters on their own, and I try not to do it too often.
