We Can Leave It All Behind

To Vero, it was shocking to say the least. Andy was jealous of CC moving in on her and CC had been jealous of Andy all along. She wondered how her life could have turned into a soap opera so quickly. She had to decide who she wanted to be with the most. CC was sweet, nice, funny, and had never done anything to hurt her. Andy, however, had made her feel the lowest she could have ever felt in her life. Then, he all of a sudden decides that he wants her back. None of it made any sense.

Meanwhile, Andy was confused as to what he wanted exactly. He began to wonder why he was ever mad about the fan fiction in the first place. It was just a stupid story to him. It didn't have to mean anything. Sure, it meant something to Vero, but he could look past it. Yet, he couldn't. Something about the whole idea freaked him out and he didn't understand why.

He took it upon himself to go back and re-read the story again. He wanted to look for a deeper meaning to all this. He wanted to try and understand.

Through it all, he could tell Vero had a weird feeling for CC. Her character in the story started to drift off to him a little at points. Andy remembered what Vero had said and began to worry. What if the story was coming true? For some reason, he felt strangely moved by this. He didn't want Vero to abandon him like he had sort of abandoned her. He was realizing how she felt.

But what was he supposed to do? Vero was still mad at him for making her feel so poorly. And who could blame her? He implied that she was some psycho fangirl. The best thing for him to do now was to apologize. So that's exactly what he did.

Vero was sitting on the couch with her laptop sitting on her legs. She was furiously typing away which made the butterflies pound against the walls of Andy's stomach. What was she doing, killing him off in her story?

He sat down next to her close enough to talk but far enough to give her space. He didn't want her thinking he was going to try and peek at her screen again.

"I think we should talk." Andy said, breaking the awkward silence.

Vero stopped typing but continued to look at her screen. "There's nothing I have to say to you, Andy."

Andy sighed. "I'm sorry about what I said the other night. I didn't realize I hurt your feelings that much."

Vero just shrugged. She could feel her bad temper rising and she knew it was her biggest weakness. The smallest thing could push her over the edge and Andy was starting to annoy her. She appreciated his apology but she was still angry over the fact that he said what he did. She wasn't sure things could be the same between them again.
