Chapter One


What have I done? What the hell have I done? Veronica quickly walked to the elevator, she needed to get out of there this was not happening. She was dreaming, she did not just tell a hung over Logan, that she had believed his drunken confession, AND she recuperated the feelings. This is all a dream I will wake up and Logan will still sleep with bimbos and I will not have basically told him I love him. How the hell can he sleep with Kendall Casablancas, skank of all skanks. She was not jealous, she just couldnt believe that someone would want to sleep with such a whore. Dont cry Veronica. Dont you cry, he doesnt care about you, he will get satisfaction out of your tears.

After what seemed like forever she was at the elevator pushing the button rapidly willing the doors to open faster, or the ground to just open up and swallow her whole. She quickly walked in side, pressed the button that would take her to the lobby, she then spared a glance at him. When she met his eyes the tears began to pile higher behind her eyelids. She glanced away, toward the wall, she felt like turning her back on him, so he couldnt see how much he affected her, but he would know, if she turned around she would lose all of her remaining dignity. Pride told her to look up, and she did. Her broken stare connected with his concerned and confused stare.

The tears started to fall, but she openly gazed at him, he seemed to be falling apart at the seam, tears had gathered in his eyes also. His hands were kept firmly at his sides as if not to run to her. Grab her and kiss her. He wanted, to he did. But he just couldnt.

Veronica shook her head, silently telling him to stay where he was or she would unload her taser on him, she had seen his imperceptible movement and she was glad the doors were shutting.

The doors shut and she fell. The ground felt cold and hard underneath her cheek. Her fist slowly pounded on the ground as tears wracked her body. The bell dinged indicating the opening of the doors. It was too soon to be at the lobby, so someone was getting in.

She tried righting her self before whoever it was entered. She was on her hands and knees when another sob, a stronger sob, took over, shaking her to the floor. Her cheek hit the ground hard, she knew it was bruised but she didnt care. She already hurt, her hurt was broken, this hurt more then the first time Duncan broke up with her without warning.

The door opened and there stood Wallace and Jackie in the outfits they were wearing the night before. The were giggling, having not noticed Veronica openly crying on the floor.

Veronica struggled situating herself in the corner of the elevator, she had heard the couples giggles before the door had fully opened and she moved out of their way. She muffled her sobs her head in her hands. She couldnt look at this happy couple, not when it reminded her so much of happier times with the man up in the penthouse. She wouldnt remember those time, she was putting up more walls around herself.

Wallace looked away from Jackie at an uninhibited wail. In the corner he saw a blonde, folded on the ground. First glance told him it was Veronica Mars, but he had only seen Veronica Mars cry once, and that was a result of her being raped Oh god Wallace thought. He ran to Veronica, sitting next to her and pulling her into his arms. If she had been raped again, he was going to beat there ass. When he was done with them they wouldnt be able to walk.

Veronica felt strong arms holding her, in her sobs she had completely forgot where she was. Logans words from the previous night taking hold of her, and then the way Kendall hugged him today, slapping her on her already bruised cheek. She felt a softer hand in her hair, tentatively stroking, she didnt look up. She didnt need to. Nor did she want to if she uncurled herself from her safe cocoon the harsh reality would take hold, and she didnt want that not yet. She wanted to go back to sweet kisses, and making out in the back of a yellow X-terra. Her memories clouded her and she faintly heard whispered reassurances from a mans mouth and gentle hushing noises passing by her in a womans gentle hum, just before sleep over took her. She would be all right. In time.

Wallace stood with Veronica cradled in his arm, Jackie hovering just behind her had pressed lightly into his suit jacket. He didnt know what had happened to her, but it was bad. She didnt even look up when he grabbed her just continued her quiet sobbing. They were just about to the lobby, and he would tuck her safely in the back of his limo and take her some place quiet, maybe her apartment if her dad wasnt there.

The door opened to reveal a heaving Logan, a look of hope on his face. Wallace did a once over of Logan in his boxers and his rumbled hair and began to stroll right passed. This was Logans fault, thats all he knew. Wallace would not have Veronica waking up with him there. He was all she had right now and he would protect her.

Veronica murmured in her sleep burying herself further into Wallaces chest.

Wallace, Logan said steadily his breathing having returned to normal.

What? Wallace wasnt in a good mood. He didnt like seeing his best friend crying, not over some rich white boy who would and did fuck her over in a heartbeat.

I need to talk to Veronica. He was quiet, his words murmured.

I dont think so. Go back to your penthouse and have your pillow fluffer go fluff your pillows. With that he walked away, Jackie close behind.

Wallace. Wallace stopped but didnt turn around. JustJust please tell her Im sorry.

That one simple statement got Wallace fuming, if Veronica wasnt in his arms he would have turned right around and found out exactly what the hell he had to be sorry for. But Veronica was in his arms, so he just kept walking.

They reached the limo quickly. Jackie climbed in then Wallace with Veronica still in his arms.

In her sleep, Veronica had buried her face in Wallaces neck. She dreamt of the Alterna-prom, and Logans words. But this time when he leant in to kiss her, she didnt run. She didnt run all night. Her and Logan had ended up making love that night, her telling him everything she had told him this morning. She had woken up with a blissful smile, she turned to face Logan and he was staring at her a slightly horrified look on his face. We didnt sleep together did we? He had asked. And she just nodded a satisfied smile spreading across her face. Oh my god. He yelled and ran straight for his bathroom, the sounds of wretching filled her ears.

She woke up with a start. Her eyes big and watery, looked around. She first spotted Jackie, her eyes were narrowed and the were focusing on Veronica. She then looked at Wallace, who was still cradling her in his arms.

Hey. He whispered. His voice soft.

Hey. She whispered softer, but her voice was hoarse and scratchy from her wails.

Are you okay? His obvious concern for her made her feel lighter.

I will be. In time.

Chapter 3

Veronica had woken up late on Monday. But she didnt care, her heart was shattered and she was sure people could see it. She just threw on the first thing she grabbed out of her closet not even to bother looking at what it was. She was in a daze as she dressed and put on her usual very little make up. If someone were to ask her later what she was wearing she wouldnt be able to tell them. And if someone commented that she looked like crap, well lets just say, theyd have a foot up their ass.

With her handy messenger bag slung over her shoulder she headed for the door grabbing a banana on the way out. Her dad had been reading the newspaper but she didnt feel like saying goodbye or giving him a kiss. It was to much contact for her when her heart was slowly mending.

She was looking down while walking that she didnt even see the person right away. Until she collided with them. She looked up warily hoping against hope it wasnt who she was trying to avoid.

Hey. How are you doing today? Wallace asked concern etched his features, making him seem more wiser then anyone at the age of eighteen had a right to be.

Im fine. She half lied. She was fine. At least she didnt say she was doing better that would have been a stretch.

Veronica. That bruise looks nasty. What happened? Startled by his words Veronica took a instinctive step back.

What bruise? she asked defensively. Thats it when you dont know what is going on go in to a defense mode, thats bound to keep people away. At least for a while Veronica thought.

The one that spreads across the whole right side of your face. Its purplish yellow. at her blank stare he sighed. God do you not look at a mirror or are you blind? Because there is no possible way you could miss something that big.

Veronica smiled winningly. Oh thats nothing it just happened Saturday. Dont worry about it.

Saturday? As in this Saturday the day I found you CRYING in an ELEVATOR? Wallace had been thinking about that day all weekend. He still had no idea of what had happened it was getting on his nerves. He knew it was bad and that Veronica would tell him when she was ready but he couldnt help but feel a little guilty that he had left Veronica at the party.

Yes this Saturday. Wallace its fine. She was getting irritated. What was with all these people hovering around caring about her feelings. She wasnt used to this. She just wanted space but she didnt. She just wanted to talk about something else is what she really wanted.

Veronica, he sighed in defeat, were going to talk about this sometime.

She didnt answer she just continued to walk to her car. Monday. She could avoid Logan, she could. She wouldnt eat lunch in the quad, she would eat in the girls bathroom. She would leave journalism for interviews and photo shoots. And in the hallways she would take the long way.

Wallace suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her backwards. We are taking my car today. He nodded over to the black car sitting a few spaces away from her dads car.

He sat her in the passenger seat and went around to the other side. He couldnt get the sight of her bruise out of his mind. There was going to be stares and whispers, and he hoped after her melt down that she could take them. She would have to be stronger then before because what ever happened between her and Logan he was sure it would be all over the school today.

He drove in silence. He would occasionally hum to the song playing on the radio but no words were exchanged. He felt a weight pressing down on him. She changed. Whatever happened was BIG and she is not going to go back to the way she was last year. He could just tell in the way she held her posture.

She turned abruptly a light smile gracing her soft features. Thanks. For everything youre the best friend I have ever had. she said quietly. And she meant it. Every word of it. She never thought anyone but Lillian Kane could be her best friend but she had been wrong. Wallace was everything Lilly Kane wasnt. And she was glad.

They pulled into the school and Wallace parked quickly. Veronica jumped out quickly but waited. She was glad she had Wallace right now because she just saw the X-terra drive by and the driver looked like he wanted to have a serious conversation. With her.

Wallace can you walk me to my locker please. Her words were shaky. She was hoping Wallace would be there for her today and he didnt have any important basketball meeting to go to.

Of course, super fly. Id do anything for you. He gently nudged her shoulder.

They were almost to the main building. The stares and the whispers were starting.

Oh my god, look at Veronica Mars face. Its worse then usual.

Ah, Madison Sinclair, she sneered. At least it still looks better then yours. With that she pushed her way through the door, shoulder to shoulder with Wallace.

That was a good one V. He was glad she seemed like her normal self, besides the puffy eyes which held a wary look.

Veronica Mars. Dick Casablancas yelled from ten feet away. I didnt get to talk to you again at the party. Whered you go? He seemed genuinely concerned. He was walking towards her still. And he stopped when he got right in front of her. What happened to your beautiful face. Weird, she thought, Dicks comment seemed real, not a sneer.

Dick. she drawled. I left because someone was bothering me, okay so it was half the truth, he wasnt really bothering her, at the time. And I think I will just bypass your beautiful comment. She started to walk away but Dick grabbed her arm spinning her to face him, so now she was facing the front doors. Over Dicks shoulder she could see Logan, standing frozen in the doorway gawking at Dick, his eyes held a steely quality.

Dick seemed hurt by her willingness to leave him so easily. Dick are you still drunk, your not acting like your usual self. And its scaring me a little bit. Wallace was off to the right, Jackie hanging off his arm, and they were both staring at Dicks hand still on her arm like it was some kind of miracle, or a curse, she couldnt tell.

What if this is my usual self. His voice was lowered and it was soft, he actually sounded intelligent.

Sorry Dick. But this isnt your usual self. She could see Logan heading their way, his eyes focused on hers, she knew he couldnt yet see her bruise, because Dick couldnt see it from ten feet away. I better get going before your leader gets over here and kicks your ass for just talking to me. He thinks Im tainted. She stage whispered. Loud enough for Logan to hear and she smirked as his steps quickened.

She turned to leave Dicks hand sliding from its place on her arm. See ya around Dick. She called over her shoulder. She didnt know why she was suddenly being civil to Dick, but she figured it had something to do with getting under Logans skin. And she would go through one of his friends to do so.

Wallace was at Veronicas side once again. That wasweird. Was all he said. She knew he wanted to say more but he was holding back for his sake or for hers she didnt know.

Well Wallace Fennel, I am a weird one.

That you are.

What the hell was that about, Dick. She could hear Logan yell suddenly.

Nothing, god, man chill.
You were touching her.

Soits not like you havent done more then that. Dick said stomping off.

See Wallace, would I be quite as interesting if I didnt start feuds between friends.

Well your bound to start feuds between people with that outfit. He was amused, very amused.

Oh god, Wallace is it hideous? she cant believe she didnt look in the mirror once this morning. She was so stupid.

I wouldnt say hideous as much as hot. Mars you should know, school girl outfits, very popular with the male population at this school.

Shit. Great now it probably looked like she was just trying to make Logan want her again. Wallace I swear, I just put on the first thing I grabbed. She was horrified. Was it possible for this to be what she grabbed.

Okay. Sure. You just keep telling yourself that. Veronica was at her locker pulling out her books now. She had to go through the rest of the day looking like a Catholic School Girl. This was going to be nice. Hopefully most guys took the hint and just stayed away. If she had to waste her karate chop on them, she was going to be pissed, she wanted to use it on someone cool AND worth it.

Wow, blondie, your lookin hot today.

Weevil.

Oh, Weevil. I did it all for you, you know. I just cant resist you, Im just trying to return the favor. She joked. Logan was on the other side of the hall right behind Weevil.

Weevil stepped closer, grabbing her around the waist. Oh you dont have to try for me to return the favor. She could tell he was just joking. He seemed to be trying to make her feel better. Wallace must have told him. He leaned in close to her ear so only she could hear. What happened to your face? Did you get in a fight? Was it the Fitzpatricks? His first to sentences were quiet, but by his last sentence he had pulled away and said it loud, almost as if it were an afterthought.

Logans backs straightened at the question. He was about to attack Weevil before when he grabbed Veronica. He really needed to talk to her, but all these guys were hitting on her and Wallace was always by her side, he didnt know when he would have the chance. He could always go up and ask politely to speak to her alone. When Weevil pulled away from where his face was buried in her neck thats when Logan saw the bruise. It was big and ugly, but she still managed to look beautiful. He was wondering what had happened when Weevil burst out his question. If the Fitzpatricks did that to her, he was going to do something worse to them, after making sure she was alright, that is.

The bell rang to get to class, so Wallace and Veronica headed off towards first period together, leaving Weevil behind, with the reassurance that she was fine.

Logan wanted to go over to Weevil and ask him what was said between him and Veronica. But he was positive he wouldnt get a straight answer.

Logan had been thinking about Veronica ever since Saturday Morning. He had driven to her apartment and sat outside it for hours. He only left when he saw the front door opening revealing Wallace stepping out, and a very broken looking Veronica hugging him goodbye. Logan waited until Wallace left out of the parking lot, he had wanted to go up and talk to her but the fear of what he would say kept him there safely in his car. Sunday he came back, he watched her dad leave. He stared at the windows by the door, the lights stayed off. He wondered if she left before he got there but her car was parked in the parking lot. He then realized she was probably in her room still. Doing what? He had an idea but if she was crying that gave him hope. She still cared about him. A lot.

Logan was excited when he saw her this morning getting out of Wallaces car. He hoped she wait for him to park but as he saw her head toward the building he realized just how high his expectations were. He was about to talk to her when he heard Madisons comment. He didnt know what she was talking about but he wanted to smash her head. When Veronica put her in his place he wanted to run in hug her. His exact thoughts at the moment had been My baby can take care of herself. Every time he saw her his heart would expand and he would resist the urge to call her baby when he talked to her. When he saw Dick talking to her, his heart deflated, then he saw her walking away and he was happy, she wouldnt take crap from Dick. He hadnt been expecting Dick to grab her. He wouldve but he thought Dick had hated her, guess not.

He had waited to talk to her all weekend and all morning. He was just happy he had third with her and no one else could interrupt them, he could talk to her. Finally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Journalism (3rd Period)

Veronica needed to find an out to this class. She had already talked to the teacher, who she could never remember her name, but she said all her out of class stories were taken. So Veronica needed an excuse, maybe she could have a seizure suddenly and go to the nurse. Nah, to drastic. She could call Wallace and tell him to come and tell the teacher he needs to talk to her. But she didnt want to take Wallace out of his class. The bell rang signaling the beginning of class and Logan wasnt in here yet. She let out an audible sigh of relief, just as she finished letting out the puff of air he walked through the door, the poster child for nonchalance. He made eye contact with her and held it. She looked away first, trying to compose her thoughts on how to get out of this class. He was making his way toward her. Oh god, oh god. She muttered silently to herself. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, the teacher called her name. Veronica. When Veronica made eye contact with the teacher she finished her statement. Eli Navarro says he needs to see you out in the hall.

She let out another audible sigh and practically jogged to the door. Weevil following her out.

***
Logans POV

Logan decided to take his time getting to third. He had a full hour to talk to the blonde that has occupied his mind for six years. He would never admit it to anyone, but Veronica was his first, well not in that sense, in the since that Veronica was the first to give him a raging hard-on. She had been all muddy with her soccer uniform on. And her slow jog to where he, Duncan and Lilly were standing reminded him of the Baywatch run. Lilly and Veronica had hugged when she made it over there, Veronica had offered to hug Duncan but he backed away shyly, and he remembered she had even hugged him, before she even knew his name. He had inhaled her scent, it had smelt of marshmallows and promises even then. He loved her smell, there really wasnt a thing about her he didnt love. He missed kissing her neck, and at his Alterna-Prom, that dress, showed off her gorgeous neck, and all night long he couldnt take his eyes off of her. Not that that wasnt a natural thing. He really wished he could remember what he said to her that night. All he knew is that he meant it. If it got her to admit her feeling he meant every word of it.

He walked into this classroom and his eyes immediately, found her, in her short skirt and white top, he didnt know why she wore that outfit but he was glad that she did, then again he wasnt, because every one of his friends had commented on how hot Veronica Mars looks, and he couldnt say anything because he no longer had that right.

He began making his way towards her, he couldnt wait to get what he had to say off his chest when he was sober so she would know that he meant it. He saw the panicked look in her eyes as he approached. He was about ready to tell her Im sorry about Saturday, but I need to tell you the truth about that night. Or something along those lines. That was when the teacher called her name and told her Eli Navarro needed to speak to her. He groaned aloud as he watched her walk away.

***

What is it? Veronica asked.

I dont know Wallace just told me you might need to get out of this class. And I saw why when I walked in. Weevils eyes turned dark at the slight mention at of Logan. You want me to pay white boy a visit?

No. Thats alright. I just plan on avoiding him these last few weeks, then Ill be out of here. And I will only have to keep in contact with those I want to. She smiled, she didnt know what college she was going to yet, but she hoped it was Stanford.

Youll keep in contact with me right?

Of course. She didnt know if she would but she might, Weevil had been a lot of help over these last two years.

Good, chica. I dont know what we can talk about for a full forty minutes. So we can just walk around I guess. Are you upset about not being able to go to prom? They started walking down the hall neither realizing that Logan was following.

I mightve been if I didnt go to the Alterna-prom. Logan was ecstatic that she mentioned his party.

Also known as 09er party. How was that? They were now out in the quad, walking toward the cement wall to sit on.

I think I could have survived without going, actually I think I wouldnt have this bruise if I didnt go. I went because of Wallace and Jackie mainly. And Logan, but she wasnt going to tell Weevil that.

Wait that bruise happened at those rich boys party? He was fuming. Did she have a bruise when she came by Saturday. Logan wondered. He hadnt seen it, but he may have been to entranced by her being there to notice. Hed feel horrible if it happened at his party.

No it happened after. I dont know if I should tell you the details, I mean I havent even told Wallace.

You can tell me anything.

Yeah but would you keep it a secret. I think thats why I am not telling Wallace, because he has a girlfriend now and I am sure they discuss me on there free time. Hmmm. I wonder what interesting things I have done that merit being discussed about. She pondered for a second. Great now Im curious, I want to know everything that every measly person in this school says about me.

Yes I could keep a secret. And Ive heard a few things today about you if you want to know them.

Okay. Tell me what youve heard and Ill tell you my secret although its not really a great secret.

Okay. Well basically today, every guy Ive walked past has said something about you, how your smokin, Cornys words, or how fine you are, or how you give them wet dreams. He watched her expression for a second. Dont give me that look its all true. Oh and the girls theyve been saying what a slut you are, and how you only dressed like that to get Logans attention. His face showed his own questioning about that last part.

So the usual, on the girls behalf anyway. Normally the guys think the same thing, so I guess thats a step up. Oh and first of all, didnt dress like this to get Logans or any other guys attention for that matter. This happened to be the first thing I grabbed today out of my closet, and these knee high socks, first thing I grabbed out of my drawer, because I felt like crap this morning. Secondly Im not a slut, but Im sure everyone knows the truth about that, Logan probably complained to his little buddies how he couldnt seem to get in my pants. She took a deep breath.

Are you going to tell me about that bruise now? He was amused at her ranting.

Oh well basically I fell, and smashed my face sothats about it. She kept it short and simple she didnt want Weevil to know how stupid she had been.

Are you going to tell me details or am I going to have to get them outta you myself? Weevils smarter then he looked.

Fine. So at Alterna-prom, which I have renamed Worse-Night-Of-My-Life a very drunk Logan, decided to drunkenly express his deep feelings for me, he told me our relationship was epic, full of bloodshed and broken hearts, yada yada. Anyway toward the end of his speech he leaned into kiss me. Well I needed to think things over so I bolted, like normal. She closed her eyes, willing the tears away that threatened to come out. Following? At his nod she continued, Well next day I decide to go talk to Logan about my feelings. So I go over there and I start by saying something about the night before and he says my name trying to interrupt me but I push forward because if I didnt say it then, then I would never get it out. So I told him that I didnt want to lose him out of my life. And after graduation we should make it a point to see each other. Then he told me he didnt remember the night before. And you know how bad I am at being left vulnerable so I started freaking out, then Bimbo-of-the-year comes up and wraps her arms around him and says something to me. And I end up walking away crying. So in the elevator I completely broke down. Then I guess Wallace and Jackie got in on one of the floors and I tried standing up because I didnt know who it was and I didnt want them to see me on the floor. So as I am on my hands and knees I start sobbing even harder and my arms give out beneath me and I crushed my face on the ground. Thats basically it. Happy? She had huge tears in her eyes by the end, she didnt want to think about those days, but she needed to get it out. She guessed Weevil was the best person for that, because they knew each other but they werent emotionally attached.

Wow. Weevil let out on a breath of air. Wasnt expecting anything like that. Do you want me to beat that guys ass? By now some of Veronicas tears had started falling down her face. Logan wanted nothing more then to wipe them away and apologize profusely for the bruise which he inadvertently caused. He wanted to hold her and whisper to her that everything would be all right.

No. What good would that do? Then he would know something was wrong. And I just want to finish these last few weeks, and leave Neptune and get as far away from him as possible. She sniffed as the bell rang. Thanks Weevil youve been a really good listener. Come sit with me at lunch okay? She kissed him on his cheek as she walked to her table knowing he would follow close behind. Guess there wont be any eating in the girls bathroom today. Logan hates Weevil he wont come talk with Weevil there. Veronica was glad, she didnt feel like eating her lunch in the grimy bathroom, filled with to many memories of her and Logan together.

She just wants to get away from me? Yesterday she had strong feelings for me and she didnt want to lose me, and now she just wants to leave. God what I said on Friday night mustve been really important. He wished he could remember, he got the gist of it but he knew there was more important things said. He would remember these things in time, things usually came back to him in a few weeks, but he would use his time trying to win her back.

He watched as people filtered out into the quad. Once they were all settled, his eyes settled on the table which held the blonde of his affections. He would win her, there was no way he couldnt she had told him days before that she didnt want to lose him and he knew that she still didnt, she was just hurt.

Just then Dick plopped his stuff down on the table and sat directly in Logans line of vision. So I was thinking Dick started.

Wait you can think, and all this time I thought you were without a brain, but no you just dont use it. Logan snarked.

Whatever dude. So anyway. Since Veronica is now single, I think that I want to hook up with her. Dick had a smile plastered on his face like he wasnt talking about Logans ex.

No. Logan said simply.

Dude. Im not asking your permission. But I havent ever had a serious relationship. And I dont know its just that every guy Veronicas been with have had serious feelings about her, will except you man, but youre a whore dog, anyway I just want that. And I want that with Veronica.

What do you mean I didnt have serious feelings about her?

Dude Im not stupid, the way you treat her now. And then Kendall like shortly after her. You probably cheated Veronica too because she wouldnt give it up to you and everyone knows you cant keep it in your pants for two months. So you see, not deep feelings. At that moment Logan felt like punching Dick and then stomping over to Veronicas table and seeing if she thought those things were real.

I wont let you date her.

Why the hell not?

Shes better then you.

Well she dated you so obviously shes not. Dick got up and went and sat next to Beaver.

Logan was fuming. He needed answers. He needed to know that his love didnt think as poorly of him as everyone else seemed to.

Chapter 5

Veronica walked into sixth period late, she attempted a strut, but the nurses words rung through her ears:

You passed out because anxiety, and stress. Your mind is on constant over-drive, you were thinking over things to much.

Over-thinking, never thought I would hear that one before Veronica thought as she looked for an empty desk. She spotted one in the back corner, not even bother to glance at the occupant next to it. Good thing Wallace wasnt in the room, he would never let that one go. Veronica thought. Wallace had always been telling her that she thinks to much, or that her mind needs a break, guess he was right. She should really start listening to him guess he was always right. Well, except about one thing. Wallace had told her to take it easy on Logan. Why he had said that she had no idea. But she did, and look where that lead her. Heartbroken and alone once again to pick up the pieces, of course Logan would never know but Veronica was possibly more heartbroken the first time around then he had been.

Veronica set her bag on the floor, and scooted safely into her desk. No embarrassing herself again today, once was enough for her.

Veronica hadnt glanced around the room at all, wondering what everyone else was doing. After all. It was study hall, everyone would be doing there own stuff. Veronica hauled out a notebook and began working on story ideas for Journalism. She had nothing else to do, and although she didnt need to think of stories she decided it wouldnt hurt to have them for those who lack-a-brain and couldnt come up with there own ideas.

As she was writing down a third idea, she saw a piece of paper slide in front of her vision obscuring her pen from her paper. She didnt know who passed it to her, but before she even read a word of it she thought it was the nurse calling her down for a check-up making sure she wasnt over-thinking herself, or some lame excuse like that.

She looked down at the carefully written scrawl that she had come to recognize well but she just couldnt seem to place it right now. She read the note:

Are you ever going to look at me?

Easily enough to answer. She quickly scrawled down a No I am busy. Not bothering to look at the person who wrote it to her, she shoved it to the corner of her desk knowing whoever it was, was probably watching her and would grab it.

Then it dawned on her. Logan. Who else would ask such an innocent question like that. She screwed up this time she knew it. She was only fueling whatever he was going to do by writing back to him. Shit, she thought as she hopelessly glanced to the edge of the desk to see the note already gone.

~~~~~~~

Logan slid the note in front of what she was writing. She hadnt looked at him once, and as she read the note she still hadnt looked up. When he saw her writing her response, he just knew she mustve seen him, she wouldnt reply otherwise. He watched as she slid it to the edge of her desk and he reached for it automatically. His heart pounded as he read her response. She is busy. Thats it. No telling him to fuck off or anything just an I am busy. Logan glanced at Veronica again, she seemed to have just figured something out. Probably one of her cases, Logan thought as he watched her slowly begin to write again. Maybe she isnt as mad at me as I initially thought. Logan thought hope filling his mind. She didnt even mind that he wrote her. He was have expecting her to tear the paper up and throwing it in his face.

Veronica watched as the paper slid once again on to her desk. She almost reached for it but she thought better of it. Not caring what Logan had to say she went back to her list. She had quit a few ideas and most of them were better then ones on the Cafeteria Ladies, but she guessed even they deserved there praise, they did feed them for little pay.

Veronica grabbed a stack of papers out of her bag, she didnt need them but she hoped they would do what she expected them to do. She dropped the stack onto her desk and they dutifully did there job. The note got blown of the corner of the desk and fell lightly to the ground fluttering excessively. Veronica sat there going through the stack of papers until the bell rang.

Veronica rushed out as quick as she could leaving the note on the ground which red:

Meet me in the hall, I have some stuff I need to say to you. We can work through this. We can be together again.

TBC.

LoVe is meant to be, cant you see.

Chapter 7

Logan watched as Lukes car pulled out of the parking lot, taking Veronica with him. Logan was going to offer her a ride, but once again some other guy beat him to the chase.

Veronica had actually talked to him, but at the cause of a little forcefulness on Logans end, but she still talked. She could have spat in his face, she did, verbally, anyway.

Her confession real or not gave him hope, they tiniest that it could be but it was still there, burning full and alive in the depths of his soul. He knew she would be working tonight. He would go have some coffee. It was Karaoke Night, so if he had to he would serenade her.

He drove back to his hotel room and sat on the couch, the room still had Veronicas smell lingering in the air, or maybe on his clothes, or in his memory. But he smelt her, strongly almost as if she were there in the room, which he wished she was but unless she had some strange change of heart in the past twenty minutes he didnt see that happening.

Logan sunk further into the couch, wishing Veronica was there so he could hold her, like he used to. In a way so she fit snuggly in his arms and he could stroke her hair, while occasionally pressing kisses to her hair and sniffing the strawberry-kiwi scent of her Herbal Essences shampoo.

He had snuck a glance at her shampoo back during the summer when they were still happy with each other and not wanting to rip each others throats out at every strange curve thrown at them. He had went home that night, imagining Veronica being one of those girls in the commercials. He imagined the sensual noises she would make. He had even elicited those noises from her in the few days that followed, much to his great relief.

In the weeks that had followed their break-up, he had been so devastated that he brought a few bottles of that same shampoo, and locked himself up in his house, having the smell permeate through the house. Now every time he smelt that smell he associated it with love and happiness. Because it reminded him of this last summer when his life had been filled with love and happiness.

Logan must have dozed off in his remembrance of Veronica that he had forgotten the time. It was almost five thirty, her shift would be starting soon. Logan planned on getting there early so Veronica wouldnt think that he knew her shifts, when she had breaks and when she got off. He knew he was inching into stalker territory, with the constant staring and memorizing of schedules, but he needed to prove to her how much he loved her, how much he needed her, she would understand, she had to.

Logan drove to The Hut, and sat at his usual table. It faced the counter, so he could see what the workers were doing and where they were at all times. Great for keeping tabs on the sneaky little blonde one.

Veronica sat in the car in silence, she didnt know what to say, she hadnt talked to Luke for the better part of a year and there he was saving her from Logan. She called it saving because she knew if she stayed there any longer some things would be said that she didnt want to be said. Ever. She had laid her feelings all out once, and look where that got her. Veronica Mars feelings as of this moment, would be kept to herself. She really didnt believe that that would work, since she did just practically spill her life story to Weevil earlier that day, and she did feel better once she had gotten that off her chest.

She could feel Lukes eyes occasionally rove over her body, and she would self-consciously tug her skirt down her thighs each time she thought he had been looking at her. She knew she was being paranoid, Luke probably wasnt even looking at her just out the passenger side window to see if there were any cars over there.

The silence stretched, turning awkward fast. Veronica couldnt think of something to say, she just didnt know. Words came to her and now, they just, stayed away, which annoyed her. But what really annoyed her was the fact that Logan WOULDNT stay away.

Veronica watched as Luke turned on the radio to fill the void that could have been filled with speech. Luke probably wanted to say something, but she must have looked hurt or frustrated. She was leaning toward hurt since she could still feel the pools of tears, tugging at her eyelashes begging to be let loose, to create the stain down her cheeks that would let the world know just how much damage one Logan Echolls could do without even realizing it.

Veronica recognized the song right away and her words from Friday night rang through her head and before she could change them they spilled from her mouth just like before. I really like this song. Her soft voice said, and a tear fell from her eye as she recalled that night. That night, Veronica couldnt believe she believed his words. He was drunk Veronica. Drunk and only wishing you were the gorgeous dead girl, whom took his heart six feet under with him. Your just a replacement. Everyone sees you as someone else. A voice, that sounded strangely like Lilly when she was having her bitchy moments, filled her mind casting a cold shadow across the beautiful memories she had created this summer.

Luke glanced at Veronica for a long second, she looked beautiful bobbing her head slightly to the music. He was almost sure she didnt realize what she was doing. It was probably an unconscious habit that she had. It was just a light bounce which sent the ends of her hair shooting skywards slightly, barely noticeable, but the way Luke had been paying close attention to her he wouldnt be able to miss a thing. He also noticed the way she tucked her bottom lip under her top teeth and chewed after she had made her comment. He noticed the way she turned her head toward the window and subtly wiped her eye. He didnt know if she was crying or if she had an itch, he suspected the later because Veronica Mars didnt cry. And if she did it wasnt like normal girls did, it would be something important. Luke smiled softly in her direction before turning his eyes back on the road. I do too. he said his voice holding an underlying emotion that couldnt be made out, but was obviously there.

Veronica smiled at Luke for the first time today. Her eyes were brighter then they had been since three nights ago. Luke didnt but his little statement had lifted her spirit. He had unconsciously taken her mind of Logan and placed it on the song that was now ending on the radio.

So Luke. Veronica said, trying to bring out some of the Badass Veronica, that everyone had grown to love over the last few years. No drug dealings right. I havent had to save you in a long time.

Luke smiled at her. Nope. I havent gotten in to trouble much recently Veronica Mars. But if you must know, Ive been thinking about doing something bad, just so you could help me out. His eyes focused intently on hers.

Well, I cant say Id be much help, my dad doesnt have me doing much anymore. But if you ever, say, need help ordering a coffee, Im your gal. She did help her dad out yes, but if she helped Luke out with something word would surely get around that Veronica Mars was Back in Business and then that would be when everyone would come to her to help them with their problems and with finals coming in a few weeks that just wouldnt be an option right now.

Oh when are your hours? Luke asked enthused. He had heard she was working at The Hut but he just couldnt believe it.

Well I have to go there around 5:30 today, you can stop by, its Karaoke night, you can serenade me. she drawled.

If I serenaded you I dont think you would live to tell the tale.

Veronica choked back a laugh, That bad huh. At his nod she smiled and the mirth bubbled out of her. Oh poor you, fine maybe Ill serenade you, or we can do a duet, you cant look bad with Veronica Mars by your side. Veronica didnt think she was a very good singer but it would be fun to do something fun like that with someone else.

Okay that might be fun. Yeah, so what song would we sing Miss. Mars. He sang.

I was thinking Elephant Love Medley. She mumbled, but it was loud enough for him to hear.

Elephant Love a-whatey. He asked perplexed.


Elephant Love Medley. Youve never seen Moulin Rouge. Veronica asked astounded. She probably wouldnt have seen it either but Lilly had convinced her to watch it a year before she died and ever since then Veronica had been in love with it.

Is that a movie?

Yes its a movie. And we are going to sing it, and it will be cute. Veronica was happy, considering her experience over the last three days. She wasnt really happy but she was a step up from being miserable, and that was better then nothing.

I dont know the words. Luke whined good-naturedly.

Thats why they have the words on a screen dorkus.

Ah is that why. I always thought it was for decoration. He seemed to actually mean what he had just said and it caused Veronica to laugh a loud once more.

Yes thats what its for. Veronica said just now noticing they had been parked outside her apartment complex for probably a good half an hour. I better go. I still have homework to do before I have to get ready to work. See you later. she said climbing out of the car.

Veronica? His voice questioned unsure.

Yeah. her head popped back up next to the window almost comically.

Can I pick you up for work? He seemed nervous for some reason that Veronica couldnt place.

That would be nice. Thanks Luke. Be here around 5:15. Veronica walked to the gate before turning her head and waving briefly over her shoulder. With this thing with Logan at least she still seemed to be able to make some friends.
