Secret Relationship (slow updates)

Chapter 1

Veronica's POV

This past week I have been so stressed out, I have three exams next week in my toughest classes. Now normally that wouldn't stress me out but this weekend I'm supposed to leave on Friday to go to my best friend Kaitlyn's 21st birthday celebration. She is having me, our other good friend Amy, and a few other people at a condo on the beach an hour and a half away from here to celebrate. It was a weekend trip and I knew if I wanted to go I needed to work on getting as many assignments done this week so I can have fun this weekend knowing all I had to focus on next week was studying. I ended up screwing up my sleep schedule though, I would fall asleep at 3am and then wake up at like 6am to get stuff done. I know I know not healthy.

Anyway today is Friday and I felt myself getting sick yesterday so I went to bed early in hopes that sleeping more last night would allow me to get to go on this trip. Unfortunately I woke up feeling worse than I did the day before and if I got sick the way that normal people do I probably would have still gone but unfortunately I don't. See when I get sick my eyes tend to get watery and very sensitive to light, I should've grown out of it but I'm 21 and still it happens to me, kind of annoying if I'm being honest. I got up and called Kaitlyn right away to let her know

K: Hey Veronica, what's up? Excited for this weekend?

Me: I'm so sorry Kait, I'm not going to be able to celebrate with you this weekend.

K: Aww why not?

Me: Well I woke up feeling super sick, honestly had to ask siri to call you because my eyes hurt to look at my phone screen. I wish I was able to celebrate with you guys but I can't drive there and I don't want to bring everyone down.

K: Aww I'm sorry hon, wish you could come but I totally understand. When we get back and you're feeling better we are definitely doing something!

Me: It's like you read my mind *laughs*

K: Well hon I hope you feel better soon! I need to pack last few things for the trip, love ya

Me: Yeah of course, love ya too! Have fun!

You two hang up.

Now that wasn't so bad, and I was happy because I had the place to myself this weekend. My roommate, Kenzie, was headed out for the weekend. I walked out of my room and see her with her boyfriend eating breakfast before they headed on their roadtrip for the weekend.

Kenzie: Good morning, how you feeling today?

Me: Like I just got hit by a bus, sadly not going to my friend's celebration

Kenzie: Aww man I'm sorry dude, but at least you'll have the whole place to yourself to recoup.

Me: Thanks, yeah think I'm going to spend most of the day just taking naps and not try to strain my vision.

Kenzie: Smart. Well we are about to head out, but before we do wanted to let you know one of my friends, Lizzie, is going to come by pick up something from my room later.

Me: Yeah no worries, have fun on your trip!

Kenzie: Thanks feel better

And with that she left the apartment and it was just me for the day. It was about 11am. Also I don't know when her friend Lizzie was coming and honestly didn't care to ask my roommate what she looked like. I mean I'm bad with names but I'm good with remembering faces so figured if somebody just walked in here it'd be a face I'd recognize. Anyway I'm spending the day laying on the couch listening to music with a cool towel on my eyes and take a bunch of little naps. At some point, many hours later, our door opens and I hear someone on the phone so I look to see who it is and I recognize them but not because she was one of the normal people that walked into my apartment as my roommate's friends. I recognized her from somewhere but I couldn't pinpoint where and honestly I was too sick to ask many questions other than this

Me: Who are you?
