After managing to pull her together, Veronica managed to grab the phone where she could hear Sherriff Lamb calling out to her. Putting the phone back to her ear she said the only word she could manage.

Veronica: How?

S. Lamb: Veronica, I don't think that-

Veronica: Just tell me!

She said cutting Lamb off. After a moment or so he finally answered.

S. Lamb: He was shot, in the chest. By the time the ambulance got him to the hospital it was already too late because the bullet went so close to his heart. Veronica listen, I'm really sorry about what has happened, and want to see someone about what's happened just come down here to the station and I'll organize something for you ok?

After what felt like forever she finally got up the strength to answer.

Veronica: Ok, um…..thank you for calling and telling me. Bye.

As she hung up the phone the tears that had stopped a few minutes ago started again, and it finally settling Veronica's mind that nothing would ever be the same again, ever!

2 weeks later, at Neptune High.

Logan and Duncan were standing in front of Duncan's locker talking while Logan kept looking around the halls, while Duncan was fed up with trying to get his best friend's attention.

Duncan: Ok, what the hell is wrong with you?

Logan: Have you seen Veronica lately?

Duncan: No why?

Logan: Because she hasn't been to school in 2 weeks, that's why.

Duncan: And? Look she's probably just sick. It happens you know!

Even with what his friend was saying, Logan still stop looking around the hall worried about his ex-girlfriend.

Veronica's room.

Veronica was sitting on her bed looking at old photo albums from when she was little, when there was a knock on the front door. Getting up and opening the door a part of her isn't really surprised at who she sees, Logan.

Veronica: What?

Logan: Are you ok?

Veronica: I'm fine.

Logan: Look Veronica I –

He was cut off with Veronica slamming the door shut in his face. While walking away and back to his car, Veronica slid down against the door with tears in her eyes.

Veronica: Why me?

She asked to the thin air as she stood up and walked back to her bed room.

It was a month after that day that Veronica finally went back to school. As she walked down the hallway she looked at everyone. Watching as they walked about their day as if nothing's changed. Ok, well technically for them nothing had. For Veronica on the other hand, everything had. She got to her locker and was grabbing the books she needed when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. Logan. She didn't really have the energy level to fight with him right now but she figured she didn't really have a choice in the matter. Going against her better judgment she turned to face him while leaning back against her locker.

Veronica: What?

She cursed herself for not being able to speak in her normal voice. Her voice only coming out in a soft whisper.

Logan: Are you ok?

He had a slight sound of sympathy in his voice.

Veronica: I'm fine.

Logan: Veronica, please don't lie to me. He paused a moment. I heard about your dad. I….I'm sorry.

Veronica: Whatever.

She pushed herself off the lockers and headed down the hall. With Logan right behind her.

Logan: Veronica would you just stop.

Veronica: No!

Veronica kept walking while Logan stopped in the middle of the hallway. A second later Duncan came up behind him.

Duncan: How is she?

Logan: Not talking. I gotta go, I'll talk to you later, see ya.

Duncan: Bye.

It was Logan's turn to walk off as he left Duncan standing behind him.

Ok guys, there's chapter 2. Hope you liked it like the first one.

And now you know how Keith died so I'm sure that'll make some of you happy.

The next one should be up in a day or two, hopefully not longer but I've got 3 assignments due for school in the next two days so I might be behind. But like I said hopefully by 'my' Friday, which is the day after tomorrow, so yeah.

Hope you enjoyed this one and please review cause I really DO want to know what you think.

Love Kayla
