LOGAN: Alone again.
VERONICA: Naturally.

Veronica looks out over the party. Logan, carrying a bottle of champagne turns into the wall and leans against it.

LOGAN: I, uh, I know the feeling.

Veronica puts the glass she rescued from Gia down on the small table by the wall.

VERONICA: You? Host of the greatest private replacement prom ever?

Logan smiles, takes a large swig from the bottle and drags his hand through his hair.

VERONICA: I'm sure you could have your pick of the bimbos.

Veronica listens to the music as Logan observes her.

VERONICA: I really like this song.

Veronica sits back on the table. Logan glances around and then straddles the table next to her.

LOGAN: You know, I'm surprised, Veronica. And as a keen observer of the human condition, I thought you saw through people better than that.

Veronica looks at him questioningly.

LOGAN: Bimbos? That's not me anymore.
VERONICA: So what are you like now?
LOGAN: You know. Tortured. Ever since I had my heart broke.
VERONICA: Hannah really did do a number on you, huh?
LOGAN: Come on, you know I'm not talking about Hannah.

He stares at her, eyes intense and glistening. Veronica is taken aback as she realises that Logan is talking about her. She doesn't know how to react.

LOGAN: I thought our story was epic, you know? You and me.
VERONICA: Epic how?

Logan takes another swig.

LOGAN: Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined, bloodshed, epic.

Logan pauses, staring intently at her. Veronica doesn't move.

LOGAN: But summer's almost here. And we won't see each other at all. Then you'll leave town then...it's over.
VERONICA: Logan...
LOGAN: I'm sorry. About last summer.

This surprises her. Logan is nearly in tears.

LOGAN: You know, if I could do it over...

Logan shuffles closer to her. Veronica makes a half-hearted attempt to dispel the tension.

VERONICA: Come on. Ruined lives, bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?
LOGAN: No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.

Logan shuffles closer to her again, his eyes never leaving her. Veronica doesn't move. She looks away, clears her throat and finally looks back at him, uncomfortable and uncertain. Logan leans his head closer to her. He reaches out and strokes her cheek. Veronica shivers slightly, sighs deeply and stares up at him. Logan leans closer and closer, about to kiss her. Veronica struggles to breath.

VERONICA: Logan…

Veronica breathes deeply

VERONICA: Logan, I don't know if I can go back there, I loved the summer it was fun, exciting and full of passion but I don't know if I can go back there.

Logan looks at her with love in his eyes, Veronica looks into his eyes and sees this.

VERONICA VOICEOVER: I know he loves me, I love him too more than Duncan, I made a mistake this summer, I should have stayed with Logan and helped him through but no I ran straight back to Duncan, I think I needed closure, we didn't have it from our first relationship, I just needed to see whether it could still work with the new version of me. It didn't, now I realize that it's Logan I truly love, but I just find it hard to let him know.

LOGAN: Veronica, I know you doubt me and you doubt my love, really you have every right to doubt me, but I really do love you, I think I have done since the first time I met you in that soccer uniform.

Veronica looks at him stunned and confused.

LOGAN: I know what you're thinking, if I loved you why'd I go for Lilly? Well the reason for that is at that time you were perfect, innocent, naive Veronica, I thought you deserved better than me so I chose Lilly. When Lilly died, everything changed. You changed. You weren't so naive and innocent anymore, you were badass Veronica 2.0 and I loved you even more.

Veronica looks at him with tears in her eyes.

VERONICA: Logan. You were never too good for me. I loved you then, and I love you now. I got back with Duncan because I wanted normal. The thing is it didn't seem so normal in the end, I realized that because I'm now Veronica 2.0 my normal is now different. I also realized that I may love Duncan but I'm not IN love with him any more. The person I was and still am in love with I broke his heart.

Logan leans in to kiss Veronica, this time she doesn't hesitate she leans back in and kisses him back.

VERONICA V.O: I realized that if I didn't take the chance I would never know what it would feel like to love again.

They pull away and stare into one another's eyes, to them they are the only two people in the room. Others saw the kiss and looked at them. Dick walks up to the couple and whispers quietly.

DICK: It's about time dude. I was sick of you both playing the love/hate thing it got boring to watch after a while. You both throwing comment after comment about each other. I totally support the relationship dudes, but Ronnie just promise you'll let logan's balls off the chain now and again

VERONICA: Thanks Dick, that's very reasuring, and I do promise. Veronica laughs

LOGAN: Ye, thanks Dick i appreaciate it, now come on Ronnie lets get out of here and talk.

The couple walk off, Logan stops and turns to Dick

LOGAN: Oh yeah Dick one more thing, only I can call her Ronnie.

Logan laughs and catches up to Veronica. They get into Logans room and Logan spins Veronica round and starts to kiss her.

VERONICA: Logan. He continues kissing her. Logan!

Logan stop what he is doing and looks at Veronica.

LOGAN: Yes Ronnie?

VERONICA: I meant what I said before Logan, but I think this time around we should do things proper and take it slow.

LOGAN: You mean like go on dates and stuff?

VERONICA: Ye that's exactly what I mean.

LOGAN: Good because that's all I've ever wanted, no hiding either.

VERONICA: Nope no hiding, and for now we kiss.

They begin making out on Logans bed
