Veronica left Neptune High in daze. It was a wonder she made it home in one piece. She couldn't quite get her mind to wrap around the idea that it may have been Logan who drugged and raped her at Shelley Pomeroy's party last year.
He couldn't have. He wouldn't have started this...thing with me if he had...would he?
She refused to cry, even in the sanctity of her own bedroom. Lilly's eyes stared down at her, but she wasn't sure if they were accusing or sympathetic. She sighed, shaking off the weird vibe. At least her dad would be gone for a few more days while trying to find Duncan.
The less he knows, the better.
As she stretched out on her bed, she considered the desperate idea that Tad may have been lying.
But why would he?
It was hard to think that Logan, the Logan she had known before Lilly's murder and the Logan she had become re-acquainted with recently could be capable of something like this.
Stop it, Veronica. Remember Logan after Lilly's death. He was so angry at you.
Suddenly, the air became unbreathable, and her stomach churned.
Did he hate me enough to rape me?
She didn't want to answer that. Eventually, but not right now. Instead, she wondered what Logan would do when he realized that she wasn't going to show. It was this thought that sent her grabbing for her cell and frantically dialing.
"'Sup." The male voice answered.
"It's Veronica. Can you swing by my house? I need your help with something." She said into the phone.
"Yeah. I'll be right there." Weevil answered. "Are you all right?" He went on, hearing the weird tone in her voice.
"No." She replied, snapping her phone shut.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long, as Weevil arrived nearly 15 minutes after her call.
"What's going down, V?" He asked, as she opened the door and ushered him inside. She checked outside before shutting the door.
"Listen, I just need you to do me a favor." Veronica avoided his question.
"What kind of favor?" He question, intrigued. The spunky blonde appeared to be just short of falling apart.
"Keep Logan away from me." She said, wrapping her arms around herself.
"What did he do?" Weevil demanded, his sudden anger making her flinch.
"I don't know anything for sure...but while I'm finding out I need you to keep him away from me." She answered vaguely. He stared at her for a few minuted and gave a little neck roll.
"Sure thing, V." He agreed. He headed for her door. "By the way, I'll consider this one a freebie."
"Thanks." She whispered. He gave her a wave and let himself out.
Please. Don't let it have been Logan.
