Logan was staring up at the ceiling trying to block out the noises he heard in the next room. Kendall rolled over next to him wrapping her arm around his body in her sleep. Logan didn't really want anything to do with this woman, but knowing Veronica and Duncan were fucking in the other room sent chills of disgust throughout him. The soft clunk against the wall made him want to cry. He heard Veronica's throaty moan and he squeezed his eyes shut. "Oh my god!" Veronica's screams were getting louder as he tried to block them out. Guessing that she was about to go over the edge, Logan buried his head underneath his pillow and pushed down as to muffle the sounds. Logan's desperate attempt failed miserably just as Duncan drove Veronica over the edge.

"OH LOGAN!"

Logan threw the pillow away and sat up quickly. Did he just hear that right? He couldn't have... she said his name? All of a sudden he heard a slap echo throughout the apartment and before he knew what he was doing. He was pulling his pants on and sprinting out of his room. When he opened his door he saw Veronica wrapped in a bed sheet clutching her clothes tightly leaning against the door to Duncan's bedroom with her head down. Logan was about to snark at her till he saw her shoulders shaking violently. He walked over to Veronica and put a finger under her chin to make her look him in the eyes. Logan nearly cursed at all the pain and hurt that was staring back at him. He sat her on the bathtub ledge and crouched down to her level. " I'm going to turn around and I want you to put your clothes on okay?" She nodded and he turned his back to her, deciding to face the empty wall instead of the mirrored wall. He heard Veronica splash water on her face and took that as a sign and turned around. Veronica looked him in the face and turned red while shifting her gaze to the interesting pattern the floor tiles made. " You didn't hear..?" Veroncia asked Logan fidgeting with the zipper of her sweater. "Uh... ya.. I did... but its okay. I completely understand, being with over half the population of the school, how can you get them all straight?" she ignored the comment knowing he was just trying to make light of the situation. She started to walk out of the bathroom and then noticed Kendall sleeping in Logan's bed. Veronica wanved to Logan without turning around and started to tiptoe out. When he heard the doors soft thud shut it knocked him out of his daze and he ran after her.

"Veronica." She had the outer door open and she was just about to walk through it. She froze at the sound of his voice.

"Stay here Ronnie. Sit in the living room and let me get rid of the skank, then we need to talk." He gave her a stern look that made her close the door and walk into the middle of the living room.

Logan stormed into his bedroom and threw Kendall's clothes at her. "Wake up bitch. It's Time for you to leave." Kendall moaned and rolled over. Logan, getting more irritated by the second, went over to the bed and flipped the mattress over onto the floor. Kendall climbed out from underneath it and put her dress on. "Fuck Logan. What's wrong with you?" she walked out of his bedroom and her eyes shifted to Veronica in the living room.

"Oh Veronica, once you're done fucking dear Logan, he likes it when you touch yourself."

Kendall giggled at the disgust she saw on Veronica's face as Logan paused her out of the apartment and slamming the door in her face. Logan pushed his hands in his jean pockets and slowly made his way into the living room. "I'm going to go get a pillow and a blanket and fix my room up bit, you should sit down and rest a bit."

Logan righted the mattress and changed the sheets. He pulled on a shirt, grabbed a pillow and a blanket and made his way into the living room. He saw Veronica curled up on the couch sleeping and his face softened. He threw the pillow and blanket on the floor and picked Veronica up in his arms. Veronica snuggled closer to him and let out a big sigh. Logan took her into his bedroom and tucked her in. He stared at her sleeping form in his bed and wished he could have her, knowing full well it would never be possible. Logan walked out of the room and flopped down on the couch trying to make himself comfortable, draping the blanket over himself and finally drifting off to sleep.

Logan awoke by the sound of a door slamming loudly. Not waking fully he just laid t here and blinked his eyes rapidly. "Why are you coming out of Logan's room, you dirty slut? You think of him when you're with me so you thought you'd see what you were missing? And WHAT are you wearing?" Logan jerked up and looked over to where Duncan was standing.

"Man, we didn't do anything... I slept on the couch all night long, I didn't touch her. And for as to what she is wearing..." He looked over at Veronica "What ARE you wearing?" Veronica stood in front of Logan's bedroom door playing with the hem of the shirt she was wearing. His shirt. She looked like an angel in his olive green shirt. He looked a bit lower and noticed she had on a pair of his red and white striped boxers.

"My jeans were too tight… and well... I couldn't get comfortable... I didn't think you would mind..." she trailed off.

"I don't care, it's just clothes."

They heard someone clear their throats and looked over to see a very pissed off Duncan. "So I see you're playing nice today? At least when you were at each others throats I knew I could keep you two away from each other. I thought you wanted me, you did dump this sad excuse of a man for me..." Logan was about to say he was sorry to Duncan for interfering in his relationship with Veronica when she cut him off.

"Ya know what Duncan, Logan's suppose to be your best friend.., that is no way to treat him, and sad excuse of a man? Yes he's done childish things I'm sure the authorities wouldn't have liked, but at least he did something. What do you do Duncan? What is your purpose? All you do is stand idly by and watch as the world revolves around you. Logan, come in your room, we need to talk." With that she walked into Logan's bedroom. Logan stood up and followed her into his room, staring at Duncan as he walked past him, not knowing what to say. He walked into the bedroom turning to look at Duncan one last time and closed the door lightly leaving Duncan alone in the quiet living room.

"Logan-"

"What was that Veronica? Duncan's going to hate us now! Why did you stick up for me like that?"

Veronica stared up at Logan as her eyes filled with tears.

"Maybe because Duncan deserved what he got! He was mean to you when you did nothing to him! Next time, remind me not to try. I thought you were worth it, but i guess not."

She grabbed her clothes off the floor and ran out of the door leaving both Logan's bedroom door and the suite door ajar.

Logan had tried to call Veronica seven times that day with no success. "Veronica must be refusing to answer his calls" he thought. Finally Logan gave up on trying to call her and decided to go find her. Logan first went to her apartment and then drove past dog beach. Logan started to get a bit worried about her when he found out that she wasn't at Wallace's or at Mars Investigations. Logan called Keith's cell and asked him where she was. Keith has given him the cold shoulder until Logan told Keith that Veronica and Duncan had broken up.

"Logan, I think I know where she might be."

Twenty minutes later Keith and Logan were sitting in the front seat of the Xterra watching Veronica sitting beside the heart shaped chunk of stone sticking up from the ground. Logan's tears blurred his vision as the tacky colorful flower arrangements all blurred around him making it a sea of color. The overhead lights popped on meaning that it would be fully dark soon so Keith decided it was time to go get her. Keith went to open the door but Logan put a hand on his shoulder.

"Can I go please..?" Keith settled back down into the seat and motioned for Logan to go.

Logan walked slowly over to where Veronica was sitting and sat down on the other side of the big stone.

"Hey" he said softly. She looked up at him and blushed a bit. Logan's eyes shifted back to the engraved stone that sat before them. Logan reached out and ran his finger down the brown granite heart. Logan traced his fingers in the lines of one of the two doves that were at the top of the heart feeling the shiny coolness of the rock under his index finger. When he finished tracing the dove he traced his fingers lower and stopped at the name. The name that meant everything to him, To Veronica. Logan traced his finger into every letter of her name and closed his eyes as if to try to wish she was here. Veronica stood, putting her hand over Logan's and removing it from the stone. She pulled him to stand up with her and he took a giant step over what would be the casket of Lillian Kane. Logan, now standing next to Veronica, pulled her into his warm embrace and hugged her tight while they both cried. After what seemed like a half an hour they broke the embrace, just to grab each others hand and walk towards the Xterra. Keith got out of the passenger side of the Xterra and nodded at Logan, giving Logan his approval. Logan smiled brightly and Keith chuckled to himself knowing that all Logan ever wanted was his approval.

"I'm going back to the office, Logan I want you to take Veronica back to our apartment and we will talk about all this when I get home, I will take Veronica's car and leave mine at the office. Veronica, I'm going to need you to drive me to work tomorrow. Is tha-" Keith's eyes looked her up and down and then he looked at Logan. "I'm going to kill you." Logan looked at Keith bewilderedly.

"What? I didn't do anything!" Logan started to back away. He looked over at Veronica still wearing his clothes.

"Sir... It's not what it looks like" He said quickly.

"Then I want you to tell me what it's suppose to looks like Logan" Keith said sternly looking at Veronica and Logan.

"She was over last night with Duncan and she said my-"

"LOGAN!" Veronica screamed.

"Wait a minute. What were you doing over with Duncan, Veronica?"

"I wasn't doing anything! He got mad at me and we broke up! I was sad, Logan felt bad for me and offered up his bed. That was all! My clothes were uncomfortable so i just borrowed some out of Logan's drawers."

Logan didn't realize he was holding his breath until Keith seemed to calm down a bit. "We'll talk about this when I get home. Hurry up, it's starting to get cold."

Keith took Veronica's keys and hopped into her LeBaron and took off leaving them there staring at each other. Veronica and Logan got into the Xterra and Logan stuck the key into the ignition but didn't turn it on. He turned to look at Veronica and Veronica did the same.

"You almost got me in so much trouble Logan!" Veronica said playfully swatting at his arm. Logan was thrilled that she wasn't angry at him.

"Sorry Mars, I just can't resist my own voice. I say anything and everything that's on my mind, just so I can hear the sweet sweet sound."

"Logan."

"Ya, Ronnie?"

"Shut up and kiss me"
