a/n: this immediately follows LitB, the season finale. I know its been done but the 2nd season is so disappointing I could cry so im writin this to make myself feel better.
Disclaimer: okay if i owned veronica do you think she would be back with boring, lame, loser duncan? ummmm hell no! die duncan, die! long live logan!
And on with the show…"I was hoping it would be you."
She knows he's probably here to yell at her. Rip her apart like she has just ripped his father away from him. But the words escape her lips anyway, a small smile gracing her lips.
He looks up to meet her eyes and she has to stop herself from crying. He looks so sad, so alone. Like the little boy he was never allowed to be.
"Logan?" she whispers, barely hearing the words herself.
He doesn't answer, only taking a hand out of his pocket. It reaches up and lightly touches her face where his father had struck her hours before. She leans into his touch despite the pain, wanting any part of him he's willing to give.
"Did he do this?" he asks, and she knows he has heard. He knows what happened tonight, what happened to Lily. He probably heard it on the radio, adding insult to the injury.
"Did he?" he asks again, needing to know.
She nods slowly, a tear escaping from her closed lids.
The tears emerge in his eyes too as he gently wipes away the tear from her face. She opens her eyes to meet his, to say she's sorry. To say anything to take away some of the pain he is feeling. But he cuts her off, leaning forward, brushing his lips softly against hers. The feeling of it, and the emotions behind it, make her tears flow freely, sobs escaping.
He wraps his arms around her as her arms clutch his shirt, pulling him as close as she can. Somehow they stumble into the apartment, the door closing after them as Logan leans against it. Slowly they sink to the ground and he pulls her closer, wanting to protect her. Protect her from his father, from the backlash, from everything.
"Veronica," he sighs, tears finally escaping, as he knows she is real. He has not lost her too.
"Logan," she chokes out, tears hindering her words as she tries to apologize again.
"Shh," he cuts her off once more. "It's not your fault."
She tries to argue again but he pulls her back against him.
"Veronica," he murmurs against her ear. "I love you."
Her voice and her apology die in her throat as she closes her eyes and breathes him in, convincing herself she's alive, he's really there.
"I love you Veronica," he repeats, words barely above a whisper but to her it's as if he screams it.
She just takes another breath and smiles a little.
"I love you too."
