Different Worlds (Veronica Lodge)

-Sweet Peas POV-

I don't know why I flipped out like that on Dream I didn't mean anything I fucking said. She isn't just my twin sister, she's my best fucking friend, the only person on the face of this planet I actually trust. Hearing the hurt in her voice broke my heart, I knew by my actions 2 years ago I ruined her life. I knew how in love with Toni she was and because she wasn't around Toni felt like it was ok to cheat on her with Cheryl and I fucking despised her because of it.

Now here we were supposed to be celebrating our 18th birthday and my sister finally being home again and she left all because of me. I had been stressing about how I was going to get us out of the trailer park. With Fangs and Kash living with us now I knew it was going to get crammed fast and I wanted us to be in an actual house before Dream ever got home but it didn't work out the way I planned. That's why I snapped on her, truth is I didn't want to tell her I was talking to someone new because of the guilt I had.

I should have been the one sitting behind bars not her, I didn't want to rub salt in her wound that I was living life out here talking to girls and hooking up while she was caged like a fucking animal and she didn't deserve that. But she was the greatest older sister and was always looking out for me no matter what. I tried calling her and texting her multiple times but she never responded. When we were younger and we got into arguments she would always leave and I never knew where she ran to. Till this day I never knew where she went.

After trying to reach her for a few minutes Alexa came out to find me. "Babe why are you out here by yourself, where's your sister?"  I shook my head "I'm such a fucking dick, I snapped at her when she asked if I was talking to you or the other girls. Instead of just saying yes I blew up on her and said shit I didn't mean. And then she left." Alexa walked up to me and wrapped her arms around me "that wasn't cool at all Pea, I've been telling you for months you should have told her about us."

We went back inside and the boys immediately questioned me about where Dream was. I told them everything that happened and they were both pissed but I knew Kash was furious. Dream and Kash were best friends and closer to each other than her and Fangs were. "You are a fucking dick Pea. Do you know how overwhelmed she must have been today not only did you guys turn 18, she just left jail. You know how much the outside world has changed in 2 fucking years. Then you saying shit like that to her doesn't fucking help."

I felt like shit I didn't even want to party anymore I just wanted to find my sister. I said my goodbyes and made my way back to the trailer. Luckily by that time I seen her motorcycle parked in the driveway. When I went inside she was in her bedroom with the door locked. I knocked on the door but she didn't answer "Dream it's me, I'm so sorry for tonight. I didn't mean it I swear. I really am sorry D. I love you sis." I knew I had to fix things between us in the morning. I knew it was going to be hard for me to sleep tonight, this wasn't how I wanted to welcome my sister home. You can say it, I know it. I'm the fucking worst.

*Dreams POV*

I heard Pea knock on my door but I didn't want to show him I was crying. It wasn't just the things he said that made me cry, being home again made my emotions all over the place. I wanted nothing more than to be out of jail and now that I was it fucking terrified me being out. You wouldn't think much could change in 2 years but it was like everything changed. I was scared that I was going to do something that would land me back in jail again. CO Thomas's words kept ringing in my head "if you get locked up again adult jail ain't going to be easy living like it was in here." 

If being scared of going to sleep at night because you didn't know which girl was going to flip a switch and try to shank you at any moment, and constantly having to fight just to keep the little bit of things we were allowed to buy was easy living. I didn't want to know what hard living was like. I've had to fight my entire life from pedophile foster parents, to sleezebag dudes trying to sexually assault me in the club. I was sick of it, why couldn't we have had a normal childhood, what did we do to deserve the life we were given? For once in my fucking life I just wanted to be genuinely happy, I fucking deserved it. Even though my brother was being a complete asshole right now he deserved it too.

I couldn't think about it anymore I was beyond exhausted for once in 2 years I could sleep peacefully knowing I was safe. Before I knew it my eyes were getting heavier by the second tonight I was going to sleep like a fucking newborn baby.
