My name is Veronica Mars and I am 16 years old. I live in Neptune, California. I was born and raised here. I use to be what we called a 09er which is the rich, popular kids at my high school but now I'm a 06er which is right above food stamp level. My dad use to be Sheriff and use to make good money. I use to be best friends with 2 of the richest families in Neptune, The Kane's and the Echolls. Lilly Kane was my best friend since kindergarten and I use to date her brother Duncan and Logan Echolls was my other best friend. All of that changed when Lilly's then boyfriend Casey Gant joined a cult and I decided to intervene and talk him out of it. Well it turned out the place wasn't so bad. Casey's grandmother had died and left her fortune to Casey and his parents wanted to make sure they didn't lose their gravy train so when Casey left his grandmother's funeral his parents had him kidnapped by this guy who was gonna "deprogram" him. I witnessed this and called my dad who went and arrested the guy. Well Casey had already been "deprogrammed" and so my dad was made a laughing stock of Neptune. He was recalled as Sheriff and we had to move. My friends disowned me for turning Casey's parents in now they make my life a living hell. Every day my ex best friends do horrible things to me. My tires are slashed every day; I'm called a slut and get treated like a social pariah. Well today I'm going to show them that they aren't gonna bring me down. Tonight it Shelly Pomroy's party and I plan on going.
I get to Shelly's when things are in full swing and start to walk in when I see Duncan with Shelly. This upsets me a lot. I love Duncan Kane and well one day he just stops talking to me technically we never broke up since he hasn't said 1 word to me. I just walk by at some point someone hands me a drink. Well don't look a gift horse and all that so I down the drink. I start to feel dizzy and sit down and close my eyes for just a se…..
Lilly POV
I'm in the corner of the living room when I see Veronica walk in. God I miss her so much but I have to keep up appearances show everyone whose boss blah blah. Even Casey is saying Logan and the guys are taking things too far with Veronica but I threatened with death if anyone physically harms her. Words are one thing. I lose track of Veronica and just go about the party after about 2 hours have gone by I get up and head to the bathroom. I pass by a door to one of the rooms and hear noises. Well at least someone's having a good time. On my way back I notice the door to the same room is now open I just happen to look into the room and see Veronica lying and the bed. What the hell? I walk into the room and notice her clothes are ripped and she looks like she has been beaten. I scream and rush over to her and notice she isn't breathing. I look at her neck and see bruises like someone had strangled her. I start to cry that's when I feel strong arms grab me and pull me away from her. Oh god what have I done!
Logan POV
I was down the hall talking to Dick when I heard Lilly scream. I run down to where she is and walk into the room and see Veronica lying there lifeless. I tell Dick to grab Lilly and I get beside Veronica and step on something I look down and see it's her underwear. What the fuck happened in here? I check for a pulse and its faint but there then I check to see if she's breathing which she's not. I give her mouth to mouth and she finally starts to breath. I faintly hear sirens in the background. Good some was smart enough to call 911. I turn to ask Lilly what happened when I feel Veronica wake up. She sees everyone starring at her and goes to move when she winces in pain. I grab her and pick her up and start to carry her to the front door. She curls into me and starts crying. Whoever did this to her is gonna pay and pay BIG!
Veronica POV
I'm not sure what happened all I know it I wake up and Lilly is one side of my hospital bed and Logan is on the other. Both are asleep with their heads on my bed and holding my hands. I stir and Logan wakes up. I ask him what had happened and he told me all he knew. After he was finished the door opened and there was my dad. Logan stands up and walks over to him and tells him what had happened leaving out the fact that he had stepped on my underwear. I'll have to thank him for that later. A little while later the new Sheriff Don Lamb comes in. Lamb was one of my dad's deputies and a great guy. We were lucky he got Sheriff since my dad became a P.I. and Don helps him out all the time. I always thought of Don as like a big brother. Boy does big brother look pissed. Logan goes through the story once more this time Lilly has woke up and added what she knew in. I know from the look he gives me that the doctors told him I was raped but he was keeping that part to himself thank god. My room was already crowded when there was a knock at the door. Dick Casablancas walks in and heads over to Logan to tell him all that he had found out at the party. He looks over at me with sorrow in his eyes.
"Hey Ronnie how ya doin?" he asks
"I'm ok Dick thanks." I respond
"Just so you know Ronnie Logan and I are gonna find out who did this and are gonna make them pay! We may have said hurtful things takin out some anger on you but everyone was told HANDS OFF!"
"Thanks Dick. But you guys should just let Don and my dad handle this."
"Hell no Ronnie! This was steppin over a boundary!" he says and walks over and hugs me. Wow could this day get any weirder.
