Veronica Shut Weevil Out
Veronica gazed at Weevil briefly. His puppy dog brown eyes seemed a little sad, but that could be because their previous odd friendship or whatever it had been (or been becoming), had disintegrated the moment she had defended Logan to him the first time after Felix had been killed.
Flashback: Veronica opened her front door for the third time since 3 am- first Logan, injured, in pain, cuts bleeding, on her porch, and their short conversation. Then Leo, coming for Logan and he had been so kind, his eyes holding his feelings for her and letting her know as he walked out the door with Logan that he was there for her. And now, Weevil was on her porch. He had a bruise from when Logan kicked him in the head and knocked him out. She held the door by her side, concealing the apartment from his gaze.
"Is he here?" Weevil demanded. Logan's yellow SUV sat in plain sight in the parking lot.
"He was. Deputy Leo already arrested him. Weevil, Logan told me he didn't do it."
"You weren't there, you don't know that."
"I do know that. Logan doesn't have it in him to kill in cold blood. But you do and you didn't wait for more proof. You went on my speculation. Speculation that only came up because you found out my dad and I were still looking into the case, and you overheard one conversation. One conversation doesn't prove a thing. You know where I was? I was looking for proof at the Kanes's home. And I found it. Aaron was the killer, not Logan. And while you were going after Logan for killing Lilly? I was locked in a fridge, feeling the hot flames through the walls of that fridge. While you were hunting Logan down, intent on beating him up or worse, with six of your bikers with you," Veronica paused in her narrative, "And when your pals dragged Logan off of the bridge railing, I was screaming for help and listening to the flames crackle around me. My dad is in the hospital, being treated for first degree burns, smoke inhalation, and various lacerations caused by the fire, and by Aaron Echolls."
Weevil was speechless, and Veronica raised an eyebrow at him, her own bruises stinging her face at the movement. She stood back from her door and just slammed it, and she walked to her sofa, ignoring the tears in her eyes.
So I shut my emotions down that night, and only opened my heart to the fact that Logan safe. And when he couldn't stop himself from seeking revenge, I shut that down too. And only allowed Duncan to be my possibility. My sweet, normal, adorable, boyfriend whose smile was a gentle balm on my heart.
She met Weevil's gaze again, acknowledging what they used to be. I suppose it's true. In Neptune, these days, you're forced to choose sides.

Author's Note: I would like to think that Weevil cared enough about Veronica at one point to be more than "friends" . I think now, we can only speculate the what ifs, because (spoiler alert!) Weevil is with someone and Veronica and Logan end up back together in the movie.
