He's jealous.

No not just jealous. Jealous with a capital J. She knew Duncan and he did not pull crazy ass students like flipping over the side of the bleachers. She glanced over at him as she ordered him to buckle up and to hold the towel tighter to his head. He seemed dazed, but fine. The blood made her wince and she turned to keep her eyes on the road. She glazed over at Troy and pulled out of the Neptune High parking lot.

It was a couple of minutes before he spoke to her, pulling the towel away from his head, "Remember how things used to be?"

You mean between us? Or before Lilly died? Or two weeks ago, before your friend took an interest in me?

"Veronica?"

"Not really. No." She lied, glancing at him. She sensed him staring at her for a full thirty seconds. She knew he knew that she was lying, but he stayed quiet, replacing the towel on the bloody gash on the back of his head.

At the hospital, the nurse asked, "Want your girlfriend to stay here with you?"

"Oh, I'm not his girlfriend-" she began.

"Yeah, yeah , that's cool." Duncan interrupted

Veronica couldn't prevent the small smile on her face, which was too interrupted, but Mr. Kane.

"Well, here you are." There was a pause and a short intake of air as Jake said, "Veronica, we meet again."

"What are the odds?" She quipped.

"Veronica brought me in," Duncan said, before Jake could question them both.

"Thank you, Veronica. I think I can handle it from here."

She agreed, wanting to leave, so she used an excuse about having some things to do. As she left she heard Jake scolding Duncan, "Off a bleacher?"

She went back out, and just sat in her car for a few minutes. Duncan had let the nurse think that she was his girlfriend. She was a little giddy. She had trouble getting over him as it was, but whenever he did stuff like this- talking to her kindly, protecting her from his 09er friends, offering her a ride when he saw Troy flirting with her the previous week, she had to check her emotions. She wasn't over him and at the rate things were going, maybe she never would be. But he broke up with her and she needed to move on.

He needed to move on. It already looked like he had anyway, she had seen him at Shelly's party with another girl, and she had heard he was seeing Shelly Pomeroy. She started her car, making up her mind to talk to him at some point. She needed to tell him it was not fair, that he got to move on, and he had to interrupt her, just when she was starting to.

Author's Note:

Starting a rewatching of the series again, and this popped into my head. Poor Veronica. Poor Duncan. If only he had made sure in the first place that they weren't siblings, they could have still dated. Lilly obviously found out, she should have helped him and Veronica, and she could have without Veronica finding out- hair samples from Jake and from Veronica, sent to a lab, would have should the truth, and Duncan and Veronica would have had each other after Lilly's death. Maybe.

Anyway, R&R.
