Original Coffee Shop discussion

Teddy grinned, "Well, I could say the same thing, but, well, I can't for obvious reasons."
Teddy continued hugging Veronica, comforting her and letting her cry it all out.
"You know, these are very interesting circumstances." Teddy said, hoping to get a conversation going.

((CARSIEEE HELLOOWWWWW)

"What's...so...interesting?" Veronica continues to try and talk through her sobs.

Penelope looked at him easing an eyebrow

Teddy smiled, happy that he'd caught they're attention.
"Well, it all started in 5th grade with my sister Bethany. Her and this boy decided that they were gonna, well, date. Yes, yes, at the ages of 10 and 11, so dumb right? Anyways, one day on the playground the boy Bethany was 'dating' decided to kiss her." Teddy paused for suspense, grinning at Penelope, "And boy was my sister upset. She punched the kid right in the nose, then pushed him to the ground."
Teddy looked at Veronica, searching for any sign of smile.
"Oh, but that's not where it stops. That day when Bethany came home, she told my dad. And if you think that she was upset, that's nothing compared to what my dad did."
Teddy stopped to keep them both intrigued, waiting for them to urge him to keep going.

(CARSIEEE))

Penelope looked at him with wide eyes, “Can I meet your sister. And your dad. Go on.”

"Well...what...happened?" Veronica was still upset, but touched by what Teddy was trying to do.

Teddy smiled and continued on with the story,
"Well, like I said, my dad was fuming with anger. He stormed to our house phone and called the boy's parents. He yelled and yelled at them for hours. I was actually dying laughing at the time, I was only in 2nd grade and had no idea what was even going on. When my dad hung up, Bethany asked what the boy's parents said, and you wanna know what my dad answered with?"

Veronica nodded. Her sobs were quieting and turning into sad little hiccups.

"Yes I heard her screaming bloody murder Ian. I'm not deaf." *I wish I was though* He muttered under his breath.
"She was screaming about wanting to kill me....or something. I doubt she cried, that's not her. She wouldn't care enough to cry. Now go away."

“What did he answer with?”

Teddy continued,
"My dad said that the parents said they were transferring schools. My dad basically threatened them. So, uh, yeah, I think that's why I'm so upset right now, I get it from my dad."
Teddy hoped this at least made Veronica not feel as bad.

Penelope laughed, “That’s a good story.”

Jade shoved him away.
"I've been hurt worse. It'll heal. Let's say, she did cry. What am I supposed to do?" He wiped his shirt sleeve on his foot, wincing at the pain.

Veronica laughed quietly.

((i know. ))

Teddy smiled, happy that he'd lightened the mood,
"Feeling better?"

((bahaha))
"No it's blood." Jade kept glaring at ian. "What's apologizing gonna do? She's not gonna forgive me. Not that i want her too. And duh, I learned from kissing. Never doing it again, yippee. Would you just leave my cut alone. Go give your cut sleeve to Veronica. I'm sure she'd love it." Jade spun away from Ian, and tested if the blood had dried on his finger first.

Veronica glanced at Teddy. "A little" she whispered.

Teddy smiled at her, "Good."

Teddy didn't know what to do from here. Just continue sitting with her? Going with Ian and talking with Jade, well, no, that wouldn't go down well. He decided to let them just sit here, she needed rest.

Penelope realized she was a little tired. She sat down beside Veronica and put her head against the wall.

Carsie Rose wrote: "((man..... Jade is....a very stubborn child. Ian is losing his temper...okay))

Ian stood up, completely at the end of his rope.
"You know what? Fine. You want to sit and have a pity party by yours..."

Jade ignored him, he stood, wincing, and shoved past Ian.
He stood in the doorway of the room Veronica and Teddy were in. He saw Veronica in Teddy's arms. Jade was to the point he didn't care anymore.
"Sorry. I should've waited. I'm sorry it didn't work out. Sorry I hurt your feelings. I truly didn't mean to." He said barely above a whisper. Jade walked out and went into the kitchen to find some water for his foot.

Veronica watched him go. "I want to forgive him, but it feels so hard right now."

Penelope looked up. That was the dumbest apology she had ever heard, and she didn’t think it was a true one. What a jerk, she said to herself.

((BWAHAHAHAHAHA))

(He says he's not jelous and tells u to make Ian to back off)

((IKR, I just read through that and it was amazing. Well done Carsie and Kara))

((Gracias!!))

Teddy stared in disgust at the doorway, "That wasn't a true apology, Veronica. I'm sorry, but he's just too prideful and stubborn."

((UM EXCUSE ME THAT WAS A SINCIER APOLOGY HE WOULDA ADDED SOMETHIN SARCASTIC OR YELLED IT IF IT WANST!!!! XD))

Jade heard Teddy's remark, but didn't bother to return a snarky reply.

Kara wrote: "((UM EXCUSE ME THAT WAS A SINCIER APOLOGY HE WOULDA ADDED SOMETHIN SARCASTIC OR YELLED IT IF IT WANST!!!! XD))"

((my bad XD))

Jade finally found the extra water bottle, and poured it on his foot, rinsing away the blood. The cut was deep, and he still saw small pieces of shiny glass. Rolling his eyes, he wrapped a bowl around his foot, tied it, and sat on the counter, looking at his cut finger

Teddy looked at Veronica, who seemed confused.
"Listen, he'll get it together. Jade isn't a bad guy, he just hit a bump in the road."

((LOL))

((ig confused on what to do about this whole situation))

(as a fourteen year old would me)

Veronica sighed and leaned back on the couch. "I just want this to be over with already."

((AHAHHAHA))

Teddy stood up and started pacing, "Veronica, you're a great person. You don't deserve to be treated like that."

((I love how all of this is over a kiss XD))

((Yes! This story used to be about survival and stuff, and now it's all this drama about a dumb kiss. Y'all, we need to move on))

((I know we do. but how? Jade still has freakin glass in his foot and Veronica still be crying))

((she's done crying now. We need something to happen!!!!!!!))

Veronica smiled. "Thanks Teddy."

((you know what? I'll start and then someone also can build off of this.))

Veronica walked over to a window and looked out. It was a cloudy day outside. She started to walk away when something slammed into the window. "What is that?"
