Veronica wants so badly to think the best of him and she's never stopped doing that. Their first meeting was....interesting to her, at the very least. He's pretty much the second person she's ever kissed (and then they kind of ended up continuing with the kissing for a while there). She knows there's goodness in him and she believes in that.

But at the same time, she can't help but to feel that he doesn't care a lot about her. Not that she asks for him to! She's fine not being the most important person in people's lives even though she'd like to be. What's important is that he values himself and sometimes she's not sure he does that either....

Still though, she wants to be there for him, even if it's not in the same way as he might want her to be at the moment. She wants to hang out and be friends.
