Sorry for the long wait, everyone. If you haven't read Letter From Logan, you should. This will make more sense then. This is the continuation of the 'Saved by Light' ending. Hope you all enjoy!
"Sit still," Veronica commanded as she rubbed the gashes on Logan's wrist with an alcohol drenched cotton ball.
The two sat in Veronica's kitchen. She was tending to Logan's self-inflicted cuts on his wrist. Both Logan and Veronica had a hard day. Not only was there a bus crash, where all students on board where pronounced dead, but Logan thought it would be a perfect night to jump off the Coronado Bridge. Luckily, Veronica saved him, and gave him a reason to live
"Sorry, but are you digging for gold?" Logan winced.
"This is for your own good, Logan. And to make sure it never happens again, I want your little friend, Mr. Razor," She finished wrapping the bandage around his wrist and threw away the bloody cotton balls.
"It's Miss. Razor. No way would I have a dude take away my problems. It screams Brokeback Mountain,"
"Hand it over, cowboy," Veronica opened her palm, waiting for him to give up his razor.
Logan sighed and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small box containing a few razor blades. "I don't know how to quit you!" he said as he handed it over. Veronica just shook her head.
"How can you joke about it?" She asked
"I dunno. It's weird. A couple hours ago I was going to commit suicide but then you show up and everything seemed better." He chuckled a bit and smirked.
"Promise you will never even think about hurting yourself again." She said in a pleading voice.
"I promise, Veronica." He leaned in so his forehead was touching her's. "I love you."
She kissed him before replying "I love you, too"
"How are we gonna do this?" Their fingers laced together.
"I dunno. We should probably tell Duncan first. Then we can take it step by step." Veronica stood up and guided Logan toward the couch.
"What do you think everyone else is gonna say?" he asked as he laid down.
"I really don't care," she laid down next to him and tucked her head under his chin.
"Me too. Hey, where is your dad?" Logan asked.
"Don't worry he's out trying to find out more about the crash," Veronica said while absently while playing with his shirt.
"Some day, huh? When I heard about the crash I was so worried. I thought you were…"
"Ssh. Don't think about that. You've been through enough today. Just sleep," she gave him a quick kiss and squeezed his hand that was still entwined with her. "Goodnight, Logan,"
"Goodnight, Veronica,"
Keith unlocked and gently opened the door, hoping not to wake up Veronica. He walked in and saw both Veronica and Logan on the couch. He was going to yell but he saw a piece of paper on the table with "DAD" written in big letters. He picked it up and read it.
DAD
Please, I know you don't want Logan here but we've both been through a rough day. I'll fill you in tomorrow. Logan is not the guy most people see him as. Please trust me.
Love, Veronica
P.S. Your turkey pot pie is in the refrigerator. )
Keith just shook his head. He walked to the fridge, took out his dinner and went into his bedroom, leaving his daughter and Logan Echolls alone.
Veronica woke up early to talk to her dad. Keith was already in the kitchen ready the newspaper. He didn't notice that she had woken up, so she gave Logan a peck on his forehead and got up.
She walked up to Keith and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you," she said.
"Your welcome, now fill me in,"
"Logan was going to jump off the Coronado Bridge last night. He sent Cassidy Casablancas to give this letter," she gave him the letter and let him read it "I got there just in time and I couldn't let him go home by himself,"
"You love him?"
She nodded.
Keith sighed, "Teenagers, sometimes I just don't get your race. Just be careful, honey,"
Veronica smiled and gave him a hug.
"I'm gonna go visit the crash site. I couldn't really find out anything last night,"
"And you don't want to talk to Logan right now," Veronica said smirking.
"Yeah that too," Keith gathered his things and was ready to leave. "Oh, I almost forgot. Meg survived the crash. She is unconscious in the hospital,"
"What?" she said in disbelief.
"I don't get it either. Have a nice day," Keith waved goodbye and left.
"Does that mean I have his blessing?" a voice said.
Veronica turned around startled and saw Logan sitting on the couch.
"I think so, but I should warn you. He has the right to carry a gun," she poured some coffee into two mugs and gave him one.
"Yeah, I seem to remember something about a telescope mounted on a rifle," Logan said. He gave her a kiss when she sat down next to him.
"Ah, yes. The good old days," they both smiled at the memory of making out in the Xterra but then remembered the other minor detail form that night.
"But we almost got shot by a PCH'er," he said
"True," She said with a sigh. She put her head on his shoulder. "Today is gonna suck,"
"Veronica, we should probably wait awhile before we tell anyone about us, with the crash and all," he said.
"I guess. I need to check in on Duncan, see how he is doing. We should visit Meg in the hospital, too,"
"Sure, I'm gonna go home and take a shower. I'll see you at school." He stood up and gathered his things.
"I'll see you later," She leaned up and gave him a kiss "Love you,"
"Love you," he said right before he left.
Veronica laid back on the couch and thought about what had happened in the last 30 hours. She sighed. She wasn't on the bus where eight people died. She saved her ex-boyfriend from committing suicide and she started dating him again. She could smell Logan's cologne on the pillows and her clothes. She smiled, 'There goes normal' she thought. In the world of Veronica Mars, normal is the watchword.
I couldn't resist the Brokeback Mountain joke. Please review!
