She didn't feel up to actually seeing Logan, it had been five long years, five years since she'd seen his beautiful form, five long years since she'd heard those words she'd loved hearing so much from him. 'I love you, Veronica Mars.'

Her heart was never the same after him, it was forever aching for him, no matter how much she tried to forget, tried to move on, tried with every fibre in her to let her heart lose the love she felt for some, but like they say, some things are easier said then actually done. She hated feeling like those love-stuck teenagers, whose whole life revolves around their boyfriend or crushes. Unfortunately that's exactly how she felt, she knew in her heart he was her true love, soul mate, her epic happily ever after.

She pulled up outside Wallace's house, he was back living at home till he found a full-time job and place of his own. She got out of her car, walking up the path leading to the front door. She knocked a couple of times before Wallace answered, his face of shock said it all.

"What are you doing here?" He asked before he hugged his best friend eight years.

"Um… it was just time to return home." She said not exactly meeting his gaze.

"There's something your not telling me, but I'll leave it be for the moment." He said looking at her before inviting her inside.

"Thanks, still trying to process it all myself. Not really up to talking about it." She said with a soft nod of her head as she sat down on the couch.

"So how are you Veronica Mars?"

"I'm okay, glad to be home though. Didn't think I'd miss this place as much as I did."

"It's not too bad of a place to live in." He said with a soft chuckle.

"So tell me everything I've missed, tell me what everyone is up to." She asked hoping he'd mention Logan somewhere in there.

"Well you know about everything I've been up to, with all the emails I've sent you. Piz and Parker are in full wedding mode, poor Piz, he has no say in anything, practically been band from anything 'Wedding'" He said using air quotes. "I'm to be a groomsmen, you're a bridesmaid from what I hear. Dick and Logan will be groomsmen and Mac and my lovely Ava will be the other bridesmaids." He said with a nod of his head.

"Logan?"

"Oh sorry, I forgot. Do not mention him."

"No it's okay, I was actually wondering how he was and what he was up to."

"Oh… well he recently brought a house and finally moved out of the Grande. Still not working from what I've heard, but looking into a few things, maybe even starting his own business."

"Well that's a good thing, him finally moving out of the hotel."

"Yeah, it was about time." He chuckled lightly. "Emotionally though, he hasn't been the same since you left. I don't want to tell you this to make you feel bad in any way, it's just the truth. No girl has been able to get anywhere close to him."

"I… oh… um…"

"It's okay Veronica, he wants you to be happy. He's told us all of that, your were is epic love. He's not stupid into thinking he'd find another one. On a happier note though, Dick proposed to Mac last week. I dare say you'll be pulling bridesmaid duty again."

"That's great, I'm so happy for her, she deserves to be happy and if it's with Dick then that's wonderful. Not something I saw coming though."

"None of us did, we all thought it was some April fool's joke at first, but it's the real deal. He's a changed man now."

"Who knew." She laughed softly. "So where'd the place Logan brought?"

"Oh… uh… Twenty-six Grandview Rd. You thinking of paying him a visit V?"

"I don't know yet, I mean what do you say to the person you still love after five years?"

"Just follow your heart."

"Thanks."

"I don't mean to be rude, but I've got a date and need to get ready."

"Of course, I'll see you soon, have fun." She said as she hugged him tightly and walked towards the door. "Thanks Wallace." She said before walking out the door and down to her car.

Twenty-two, Twenty-four, Twenty-six, that's the number Wallace told her. She looked up at the house from where she sat in her car on the opposite side of the road. It was a nice little beach cottage, all white, not far from the beach. The perfect little house for Logan, she was happy for him, just wished she was still somehow in his life. She continued to stare at the house, so many memories rushed back into her mind when she thought about him. All the fun times, even the bad, god she had missed him. She was startled by a knock on her car window. She looked up and saw those gorgeous chocolate eyes she'd almost forgotten and missed so much. She wound down her window and cleared her throat.

"I'm sorry, I'll… um… leave." She said as she went to start her car.

He put his hand over hers to stop her from doing it. "It's okay, you wanna come in?"

"Sure." She said as she got out of the car and began to follow Logan up to his house.

They walked inside, and he motioned for her to take a seat on the couch in the living room to her right. She followed his direction and sat down, looking everywhere but at him, his eyes.

"What are you doing here Veronica?"

"I moved back, Wallace told me you moved here, I just wanted to see the place for myself."

"You moved back? Why? I though you loved your job."

"I did, I do… I… um… uh… just had to."

"You don't have to tell me, it's okay."

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just I haven't told anyone and still trying to process it all myself." She looked up at his beautiful eyes and blinked once letting the lone tear fall from her eye.

Logan reached over and wiped it away softly. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's stupid."

"Nothings ever stupid coming from you, well not everything anyways." He chuckled softly.

"I've just missed you."

He sigh heavily as he looked at her. "I've missed you too Veronica, more then you probably know or realize."

"I do know." She nodded her head softly.

They fell into a silence, neither knew what to say or do. Just looked at each other, emotion flashing across each of their faces. Those eyes she'd longed to see, finally here in front of her.

"Would you like a drink?" Logan asked breaking the silence that lasted a good ten minutes.

"Water please."

He nodded and walked off into the direction of his kitchen. She got up and look over at all the pictures on the mantle above the fireplace. There was one of Mac, Dick and Logan. Another one of them all, Logan, Mac, Dick, Parker, Piz, Wallace and Ava. One of him and his sister. The last one caught her eye though, it was one of them, it had been taken during one of the nights she'd stayed over his place at the hotel.

They collapsed on the bed after their activities had finished, trying to catch their breaths and moving the sheet over themselves.

"You really blow my mind, Veronica Mars." He said with a chuckle as he pulled her closer to him.

"I could say the same about you Logan Echolls." She laughed along with him.

"We should make a reminder of this amazing occasion, for as to forever remember." He said nodding his head as he moved out of the bed, moving to open a draw and pulling out his camera. Before getting back into bed and cuddling into her once more.

"Don't think I'll be posing naked for you."

"I never thought that, keep the sheet up just don't cover your face." He said as he held his hand up above them with the camera pointing downwards to them. "Now smile." He said before taking a picture of them.

"Let me see it, if I don't like it, your not keeping it."

"Where's the fun in that?"

"There is none, we've already had enough fun for the evening." She said as she tried to get the camera off him.

"No it's mine." He said holding the camera out of her reach.

She moved a little further trying to reach the camera, it didn't occur to her that she was now straddling him. She finally got hold of the camera and looked at the picture he'd just taken. She smiled as she looked at their smiling faces, flushed from the nights activities.

"I like it, it's a keeper." She said passing the camera back to him and finally realizing where she was.

He took the camera from her and placed it on the bedside table. "You ready for round three Miss Mars?" He said with a devilish grin on his face before pulling her down to kiss her deeply, then rolling them over so he was on top.

A smile played on her lips, as she lightly ran her finger over them, trying to remember what it felt like to have his lips on hers. He walked out of the kitchen and just watched her. She was even more beautiful then he'd remembered, her hair was a little longer, pulled back in a pony tail at the moment. Her eyes though, looked empty and lifeless, it's shocked him somewhat, he thought she was happy with how her life was going. Well at least that's what he was led to believe, she was happy with her job, she had a boyfriend and loved being away from Neptune.

He walked over to her and passed her the bottle of water he'd brought out for her. She jumped slightly, being startled by his presence.

"That's one favorite picture of us." He said as he went to sit back down on the couch.

She smiled softly and followed suit. "It's one of my favorite's as well." She said not game enough to look into his eyes.

"So you want to tell me why your home yet?"

"I can't, I just can't. I've got to go, Dad's waiting for me." She said getting up quickly and rushing out of the door without glancing back at him.

She had to get out of there, that one lone picture stirred up memories she'd tried so hard to bury deep within herself. She started the car and drove off in a hurry, leaving Logan more then confused. She pulled up at her new/old home and got out of the car, walking up the stairs and inside. No one was home of course, he Dad was on his honeymoon with his new wife. Not even he knew she was home, no one knew she was coming home, no one knew she'd quit her job or broke up with her boyfriend of four years. She just did it, she just needed to do it.

She walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Undressing before getting in and closing the door. She let the hot water run over her tired body before she collapsed in a heap on the tiled shower floor, letting all the emotions of the last few weeks catch up with her. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but you'd never notice, you'd think they were just water drops from the shower head.
