"Hey Sugarpuss." Logan said while sneaking up behind Veronica.

"Hey Baby, are you ready to go to the exhibit this weekend?" Veronica asked excitedly.

"Oh well about that… I kind of promised Dick that we'd hang out." Logan said hoping not to disappoint her.

"You tell me this now because?" asked an irritated Veronica.

"I'm sorry… I completely forgot. You know how he has been really out of it lately." replied Logan thinking that he must be the biggest ass ever. Veronica had been talking about doing more things that she liked. She had been talking about this exhibit for weeks. How could he have forgotten?

"You're right. As much as I despise Dick…. He's human and I know he really needs a friend right now. Promise me you won't go out and drink. The last thing you two need is to get wasted." Veronica said jokingly yet still meaning everyone word she said seriously. She knew that Dick had been struggling lately with Cassidy's death. Even is he was a jerk, she knew deep down he was hurting.

"Thanks for understanding." he said while pulling her into a hug. "I really wish I could go. I'll make it up to you. I promise."

"Yeah well you owe me dinner tonight and a movie." she said teasingly while kissing Logan and nibbling on his bottom lip.

(weekend)

"Logan?" called out Veronica has she entered his suite.

"Hey Ronnie, came by for a quickie?" said a voice from behind the mini bar.

"Dick, how many times do I have to tell you that if you want to keep your balls intact then you shouldn't call me that." she said as she walked into the suite walking pass the tornado that must of hit their suite.

"Hey Babe." slurred a very drunk Logan.

"Logan, are you drunk?" Veronica asked as she could smell the alcohol on his breath. "Okay, you obviously have been drinking. Look at this mess. I told you no going out and getting wasted."

"We didn't… we just stayed home and drank a little. I'm not wasted" he said drunkenly.

"A little?… the whole bar in your hotel room is practically empty." she said demanding to hear a better explanation.

"Yeah, well we got an early start. You talk too much let's go back into my room." he said while nibbling on her ear and working his way down her neck.

"Logan, I'm not going to make out with you let alone have sex with you when you are drunk like this." she said as she pushed him off.

"Come on, baby." he said while grabbing her hand gently. Logan had been drinking more ever since the incident on the roof and as the months progressed it seemed like it was getting worse.

"No, Logan. I got to go. I'll come by tomorrow." she said while leaving a kiss on his cheek. She hated seeing him like this. It reminded her of her mother who by the way she hasn't seen in almost two years.

(next morning)

"Hey." he said while rolling over so that Veronica could sit on the bed. He definitely looked like he had a rough morning. That's what you get when you have a hangover from drinking too much.

"Morning, sleepyhead. I brought you some bagels." she said cheerfully.

"I really don't feel like eating and could you stop yelling." said a groggy Logan as he tried to cover his face from the sunlight coming through his curtains.

"I think you should at least eat something."

"I'm sorry about last night… Things got way out of hand." apologized Logan as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Logan, you know how I feel about you drinking…" she said softly while rubbing his arm.

"I'm trying to cut down."

"That's not what it looks like. I'm really trying to be understanding and your not making this easy. I want us to work this time."

"I want us to work also." he said while pulling her down into a hug. She laid her head on his chest and stroked his arm.

"I know and that's why I want you to stop." she said as she looked up to meet his eyes.

"I can't just stop over night." he said losing contact with her eyes.

"Well would it kill you to even attempt to?" she asked.

"I said I would cut down." he said simply trying to move on to a different topic. Logan and Veronica haven't had any time alone for days and he really wanted to not argue with her for at least today.

"Well, it doesn't exactly help when you have your bar restocked with alcohol every day." she said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry."

"If you're really sorry you would get help." she said sadly.

"I don't need help."

"Please, I don't want to lose you." she said almost on the edge of tears.

"You won't." he said as he kissed the top of her head trying to soothe her by rubbing her back.

"I already am, Logan. Can't you see?" she said while slowly getting up from his grasp. "I can't be with you if your just going to spend your days drunk and avoiding life. Call me when you sober up."

(late that night)

That night Logan couldn't take it anymore. Logan was once again alone and it was because of something stupid he did. Veronica was beginning to finally trust him. They've made love dozens of time. Everything looked like it was just getting better each day. He was happy. They were happy.

"God, why am I so stupid?" he said to himself.

"Dude, she's not worth it." said Dick. He was in no mood to see his friend moping around over some girl.

"Why couldn't I just listened?" he asked himself.

"Seriously man, don't beat yourself up." replied Dick trying to get his friend to stop thinking about his girlfriend.

"I can't believe how dumb I've been." said Logan while he thought back to what Veronica said that morning. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to call her but he knew it would only upset her and make her push him away.

"Logan man, just drink tonight and you can figure out what you are going to do win her back tomorrow. There's nothing you can do tonight so let's celebrate before you go cold turkey and hand Ronnie your balls on a platter."

"Who would be calling me this early in the morning?" she asked herself as she looked at the clock.

"Hey Ronnie…" he slurred dragging out the syllables in her name.

"Logan, it's 3 in the morning you know I have a big exam tomorrow. Why would you call me?… wait let me guess… You are drunk…. again." she said irritated.

"I just wanted to hear your voice." he said desperately.

"As sweet as that might sound… I really need to sleep. You should sleep too." she said as she was about to hang up. She was in no mood dealing with a drunk Logan.

"wait…" he says softly.

"Logan…I'll call you tomorrow… bye."

"I've got to see her…" he thought to himself not really thinking about the fact that he was drunk, a mess, and Veronica probably didn't want to see him especially this early in the morning.

That's when he got into his car and drove blindly trying to get to Veronica's apartment not realizing that he wasn't in the right state to drive anywhere. As he drove out of the parking lot he began to press on the gas. He ended up running three red lights. Then suddenly he was hit on the driver side where everything turned black.
