Wrote this one a while back, just now getting around to sharing it. Enjoy.


Be Happy

"Piz," Veronica said with a small smile when he opened the door.

"Hey, Veronica," he smiled back at her.

"Hey, Wallace," she then said to her best friend, who was sitting on his bed. "Would you mind giving us a minute?"

Wallace shrugged and grabbed a few things before exiting the room.

"Let me guess," Piz said, knowing where the conversation was going. "'We need to talk'?"

"Something like that."

Piz sighed. "Not really surprised. How could I be?"

"I'm sorry, Piz."

"No," he shook his head. "Don't be. I knew. I knew from the beginning that this wasn't going to last. Not with Logan still around."

"I didn't mean for things to happen like this. I guess I really thought… I thought it was really over this time."

Piz shook his head. "You and Logan? Story like that doesn't end."

Veronica half smiled. "No. I guess it doesn't."

"It's pretty epic, the two of you. They'll write songs about you, tell your story for years to come."

She laughed. "He says the same thing."

"Promise me you'll be happy," he told her. "That you won't let him bring you down too much."

"I promise," she smiled. With one last kiss to his cheek, she turned and left with a small smile on her face.
