All throughout the walk back to the office and into the elevator , Veronica's mind was a mess. She couldn't believe that after 8 years, she would see Adam again.
All Veronica had wanted to do was forget about him to the point that she left her hometown, her family, her old life. Basically anything that had attached him to her, she abandoned. Just like he had done to her.
And it took one slam into his well built chest, to realize that life threw another curveball at her in the form of her ex. If she had a penny for everytime life threw a curveball at her, she would be a millionaire.
A millionaire who would do anything to go back in the past and stop her naive self from meeting Adam.
Veronica let out an uncontrollable gasp as she felt hands on her shoulder. She quickly turned around expecting to see Adam but instead she saw Jackson's worried face.
"Whoah'! What's wrong?" Jackson asked as he cradled her face.
She blinked twice at hearing Jason's voice. "J-Jason" she mumbled out quietly.
" Did something happen? You're pale as a ghost."
She leaned onto his arms and measly shook her hair no against his chest. His familiar cologne settling her shaken nerves. She was here, she was okay. She was not in the past.
Jason's arms wrapped around her tighter giving her that extra sense of comfort she really needed. "Are you sure? I had been calling your name since you got out of the elevators but you walked past me"
Veronica's thoughts must have her consumed her mind entirely that she hadn't realized she had already arrived and had been standing in front of her desk for awhile.
"I'm okay " she stated. "I just tripped on the middle of the street while a car was coming in front of me" Veronica lied.
She heard Jason let out a gasp. "We need to take you to a hospital. Come on" he said as he tugged her arm.
But she stayed still, halting both fheir steps. " I'm okay Jason. I quickly got out of the way but the bagels" her eyes went towards the dented bagel box. "Didn't survive" she chuckled out.
"I don't care about those stupid bagels" he cursed. "We can always go buy some more. I just need to know you're okay"
A smile sprouted on Veronica's face. His worried face seeming cute the longer she looked at him.
She gently tugged his arm, pulling him towards her. " I am. " and she meant it. Jason always made her feel that everything is alright in the world.
Her arms went around his waist seeing as she was 5'6and he 6'4.
"I'm sorry to interrupt" she heard a voice saying from her left side. Goosebumps sprouted on her arms as she heard the voice that haunts her in her dream be in her reality. She hesistantly turned her head to see who it was only to be rewarded by a pair of coal colored eyes looking at back at her. The same eyes she had fallen in love with. The same eyes who once broke her heart and the same eyes who now 8 years later stood in front of her.
