Different Worlds (Veronica Lodge)

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 7

After my kiss with Dream I was at an all time high, I went back into Le Bonne Nuit gathered all the money we made tonight and made sure it was safe and secure before packing up for the night. It was Reggie's job to clean and lock up and after the week I've had I couldn't wait to get home and climb into bed. I checked on Pop to make sure everything with him was good, getting myself some french fries and a shake to go before I made my way home.

When I pulled up to The Pembrooke I parked in the garage and made my way to our penthouse. When I walked inside I seen my mom looking just sitting at the dining room table with a glass of wine. "What's going on mom, everything ok?" I figured maybe she just had a long day at work being the new mayor of Riverdale was kind of taking it's toll on my mom. When she looked at me tears began to stream down her face. "Your dad, he found out about me burning his drug shipment, and about me putting the hit out on him. Today he send me a message, a bloody pigs head. Your dad wants me dead mija."

The tears just streamed down her face and I couldn't help but begin to cry too. My dad has made our lives a living hell ever since he stepped foot in Riverdale and I had my mother's back one hundred percent on everything she tried doing to my dad. I hated him, I didn't want him in our lives anymore. After my mom found out about him having multiple affairs she filed for divorce something he was always against. And ever since then things have only progressively gotten worse with them both. "Mom nothing is going to happen to you I promise, I'll figure out a way to keep you safe. We just have to be more vigilant until I figure it out but I promise he's not going to get to you. And once everything is finally said and done Hiram will be no more."

I had to figure out a way to keep my mom safe, my dad had managed to infiltrate his way into almost everything in Riverdale. Everywhere expect for the Southside everyone there hated my dad just as much if not more than I did. The first person that came to mind was Dream maybe there was a way for her to help me out. And with her practically being a daughter to FP Jones who just so happened to be our new sheriff she could be the bridge to have him help as well. I still didn't know much about Dream but I was determined to know everything about her. And if I could help my mom in the process it was even better for me.

I again reassured my mom that I would figure something out I retreated to my room ate my fries, and finished my shake before taking a quick shower. I climbed into bed looked for something to watch on Netflix I decided to watch Austin Powers for the umpteenth time. Trying to figure out how I was going to keep my mom safe, it's always been her and I. For the life of me I never understood why my mom chose to stay with my dad, he was nothing but bad news he would sell his own mother up the river if that gave him a little payday. He might biologically be my father but in no way shape or form was that man my dad.

I wish he would have gotten locked up for far much longer than he was back in New York, I wish one of his enemies would have put a bullet in his head. As bad as it sounds if that ever happened I wouldn't shed a tear because that's how much I hated him. People looked at our family's wealth as something to envy but only if they truly knew the thousand percent truth about my father. I could never let a hair on my mother's head be touched, and if it was the last thing I do I was going to figure out how to get rid of Hiram Lodge for good.

Halfway through the movie my eyes began to get a little heavy. But a buzz of my phone fully woke me up again. When I seen who it was from I couldn't help but get butterflies.

After saying goodnight to Dream I had the biggest smile on my face. Sure I've dated Archie and we had a good relationship for a while, and I hooked up every now and then with Reggie. But neither of them put a smile on my face as easily as Dream. Ever since I first laid eyes on her the first time she walked into Pops I just had to get to know her. I had never been so attracted to someone so quickly the way I was with her, before we even talked I thought about the way her lips would taste, how it would feel being held by her. And tonight I found the answer to my own questions.

I don't care that she's from the Southside, or that she's a Serpent or that she's even a girl. I can see that through the hard exterior she has, underneath she's a softie just like her twin brother. I'd gladly give up my random hook ups with Reggie for just one opportunity to truly get to know Dream on a deeper level. My entire life I've had to put on a persona to please my father especially. But it's time I took my life back and lived the way I wanted it. I'm almost out of high school and am now a legal adult no one is going to make me be something I'm not.

I can't continue to live a lie anymore, I wanted Dream with everything in me and one thing about Veronica Lodge is she doesn't stop until she gets what she said wants. Before I knew it my eyes were getting too heavy to keep open anymore I finally let myself fall into a deep slumber but two things were heavily on my mind. Keeping my mom safe and alive, and Dream. One kiss and I was hooked on her. I don't even care that we come from different worlds.
