Hey guys! Thanks so much for all the support that I'm getting with the story! And I totally understand what Pluxu was saying with the 'A little too fast forward don't you think? Everything except the little "You want me, I want you" talk, everything else was very good, but this little bit just didn't seem to fit.' I know that it was a little fast forward but I promise that everything will all be okay, it was kind of part of the plot I wanted to work from. I'm so thankful that you all like this story so much. Just a little food for thought, i'm graduating in less than a month and i have a tons of stuff coming up; going to try and update like normal but they might be slower sometimes. Hope y'all stick with me! Thanks for all that already do! You guys rock! :) XOXOX More LoVe.

Chapter Four: Changing Our Destined Fate?

Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone, every light in the house is on.

Veronica walked closer to the flag pole and with her knife she cut down the black boy hanging from it butt naked. She looked back at Logan and he pulled off his button down shirt leaving him in just a basic graphic tee shirt handing it to Veronica. Smiling softly at him she handed the boy his shirt and told him to put it on after she removed the top half of the tape holding his upper body to the pole.

The boy smiled at her gratefully and agreed to do what the pixie blonde was telling him to do. After a few minutes he was free from the pole that he was a few moments ago attached to. As Veronica was attempting to get him down a crowd had started to form. Turning around and looked at people and got a little angry. "What do you think your looking at? How about you all get the hell out of here, nothing to see here. Bye."

The crowd disappeared slowly and Logan made his way closer to Veronica and the mysterious boy. Logan smiled at the boy and stuck out his hand, "Hey man, I'm Logan and this is the supper scary, unfriendly, sometimes friendly, and oh so loveably Veronica Mars."

The boy was still in shock but shook hands with Logan and introduced himself as Wallace, telling them that he was new to Neptune.

Veronica looked at Logan and glanced towards the parking lot, "Hey do you happen to have an extra pair of pants, shorts, or swim trunks in your car for our new friend?"

Logan shrugged and said that he would be right back. As he walked away Veronica sat on the planter and handed the boy her jacket to cover himself until Logan could see if he had anything for Wallace to wear. Veronica was determined to get to know this boy and who he was.

"So. Your new around here." Veronica asked trying to make conversation.

Wallace shrugged, "Yes, just moved her with my mom and little brother Darrel. Mom got a new job and was looking for a fresh start."

Veronica sighed and looked at the new boy named Wallace. "Well heres just a little about me. Veronica is the name. Logan is my newly formed boyfriend yesterday we would have hated each other and been on paths to destruct each others life's. But hey things change. We used to be friends a year ago until my best friend and his girl friend Lily Kane was murdered. I used to date his best friend and Lily's brother Duncan Kane. My dad was the towns sheriff but he was ran out of office after accusing the Jake Kane of murdering his daughter. My mom skipped town after dad lost his job and she's an alcoholic." She stopped talking for a few moments and looked at Wallace, he had a horrified expression on his face.

She chuckled and smiled and stuck her hand out and looked at him, "Still want to be friends even if my life is a little crazy?"

Wallace busted out laughing and couldn't stop. "Well" chuckle "I" cough "guess that there" chuckle "could be worse people to be friends with." He tried to control his laughter but it was incredibly hard. So he just extended his hand to her and smiled, "Friends."

Incomparable, unchangeable. You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same. You are amazing God. You are amazing God.

Logan walked to his truck in the parking lot and went straight to the backseat where he knew he had left a pair of shorts from his surfing trip friday afternoon. Grabbing them he went to shut his door and came face to face with Dick Casablanca and Duncan Kane.

Dick being the classic idiot he was looked at Logan like he was insane. Logan was confused and retorted back with a annoyed look. "Dude what the hell is with your staring?"

Dick howled a loud laugh and looked at Logan like he was stupid. "Why the fuck was Veronica Mars getting out of your car this morning?"

Duncan spit out the water that he was drink looking at Logan in shock waiting for an answer to Dicks question. What was Veronica doing with Logan, they weren't even friends anymore.

Logan looked horrified he wasn't quite prepared for the ambush just yet, but he wasn't going to let that change anything between him and Veronica. So confidently he replied, "We're friends again and we are trying to see where things are going."

Dick wasn't satisfied with the answer Logan gave him. So he pushed the subject farther. "Why was she with you though, she couldn't have drove herself?"

Logan had finally let out a little bit of anger towards Dicks harassing about Veronica, Why couldn't he just let it go. Dick looked at him awaiting his answer. Well if he wanted one thats what he was going to get.

Logan let out a troubled sigh, "Were dating, okay! Im dating Veronica Mars, and that won't change because you have any thoughts about it.I don't want your input on my life choices. So if you have a problem with this thing me and Veronica have going on keep it to yourself. I'm not letting her go just for the sake of our friendship."

Dick was taken back by Logan response. At a loss of words which is rare for Dick himself, he didn't know what to say. So he said the first things that came to his mind. "Did I hear you correctly? Did you say that you were dating Veronica Mars? Because your fucking crazy if thats what you said!"

Dick couldn't believe his ears and what he was hearing, "Dude are you like drunk or something" he spoke with venom in his voice back to Logan. What was his friend thinking?

Logan had let his cool and collected attitude fall the second he heard what Dick said to him about his relationship with Veronica. He didn't care what anyone thought, he wouldn't let them hurt her. Logan had had enough of Dicks comments and simply flipped him off and began to walk away. "Bye Dick, have a nice life."

Dick dropped his asshole charades and gained a serious look on his face. Gaining on Logan's once retreating figure he threw an arm around Logan's shoulder and asked the stupid of stupidest questions.

"So your not joking? You and Mars are really dating."

Logan sighed in frustration, "Yes Dick... I'm with Veronica she at one point in my life was one of my best friends and no matter how mad she has made me I want her back in my life. She needs me right now. She needs me and I need her to. I never admit that I need people in my life but I really do... and she's willing to put the past behind us and start fresh."

Dick didn't know what to say to that, so he just remained silent.

Logan continued on with his explanations. "No one has ever just let me have a clean slate and still like me the same as they did at one point. To me she'll always be the little girl I saw when I was younger in her short shorts, soccer shirt, and knee high socks. The girl that I first feel for. If you cant except that then, maybe we shouldn't be friends."

Logan waited for a response and got nothing. Just as he was about to walk away Dick spoke up. "Well if she means that much to you then, I guess that I'll give you my best effort to be fine with this. I'll try my best, I'm not going to give up my friendship with you. i'll keep my opinions to myself."

Logan smiled and slapped him on his back, "Thanks man! This means a lot tom me, you have no idea."

Dick just smiled and they continued to walk towards the front of the school.

Logan began to drift away and spoke slowly, "We'll I've got to go find Veronica she made a new friend that was taped to the flag pole this morning and I was suppose to get him short for the rest of the day. I'll see you later man." With that he waved in Dicks general direction and headed back to Veronica and the new boy Wallace.

When I first saw you, I saw love. And the first time you touched me, I felt love.

And after all this time, you're still the one I love. Looks like we made it. Look how far we've come my baby. We mighta took the long way. We knew we'd get there someday. They said, "I bet they'll never make it". But just look at us holding on. We're still together still going strong.

Veronica had spent the last few minutes getting to know Wallace, he was a cool guy and she knew that they could be good friends. She needed new friends she just had to learn to be kind and ease him into her sarcasm that she used with most. Looking to her left for a moment she spotted Logan and Dick Casablanca talking and it looked like it was serious. She wondered what it was about, but then again she wasn't sure she wanted to know either.

She watched as Logan turned away from him and made his way closer to her. She smiled and let go of some other the stress she had piled on her chest. She saw his eyes light up with he got closer to her, she really liked seeing the old Logan that she used to be friends with.

Logan got close enough to her that he shouted out to her, "Look at the fine piece of woman right there I wonder who is lucky enough to be able to walk her to class today."

Veronica looked horrified for a moment and then started laughing uncontrollably. When Logan got to her he instantly wrapped his arms around her figure and whispered in her ear softly. "Dick knows about us, he was busy hounding me for the past ten minutes. Sorry thats what took me so long."

Placing a kiss on her cheek he pulled away and walked over to where wallace was sitting on the planter and handed him the pair of shorts that he had brought back with him. "I hope they'll fit they're big on me you can keep them if you want I never wear them anyways."

Veronica chuckled and joked, "Little rich boy has plenty of clothes to support africa but I kind of like him anyways."

Logan looked at her in shock and surprised her when he engulfed her in a hug and then tickled her sides like crazy making her laugh hard. He could barely hear her pled for him to stop she was laughing so much. "Lo, please stop. It hurts."

Logan instantly stopped and looked at her in concern, "are you okay? Did I hurt you?"

Veronica smiled a wicked smile, "you're such a sucker, got ya'."

Logan went back to tickling her again, "you're gonna pay for that missy."

They were so lost in each other that he barely noticed Wallace standing next to them now fully clothed. They parted and all made there way into the school.

You're still the one I run to. The one that I belong to. You're still the one I want for life. You're still the one. You're still the one that I love. The only one I dream of. You're still the one I kiss good night.

Things were going fine for the three of them until lunch later in the day. Logan was standing outside Veronicas English class waiting for her so they could go to lunch. He wasn't going to let any of the 09ers' mess her, either they were okay with his new relationship or they weren't really ever his friend.

Logan waited a few more minutes and the whole class had cleared out and still he hadn't seen an sight of Veronica. He leaned his frame inside the room and saw her sitting in the back at her desk with her head down.

Waking inside the classroom he moved till he was standing in front of her desk. Veronica looked up and him and groaned putting her head back down.

Logan got really concerned and wanted to know what was wrong with her. "Hey, is everything okay?"

She shook her head no. Logan leaned down closer to her and lifted her chin up from where she had it positioned on the desk before. "Wanna talk about it?"

Veronica looked up at him and smiled, "why are you so good to me, don't get me wrong i missed the old Logan. But.."

Logan cut her off. "But what Veronica?"

She sighed, "I just missed this Logan so much and I want him to stick around. But the rumors don't stop just because you've told them too. People still talk, people think your only with me because you feel bad for me."

Logan looked at her but she held out her hand asking him to wait. "Wanna know what my favorite it? The best one I've heard all day came from out dear Madison Sinclair."

Logan looked wishy-washy , "what did she say to you Ronnie?

She let out a noise somewhere between and moan and a groan. "Bet ya he's been sleeping with her this whole time and he got her pregnant. He's lost it sleeping with the trailer trash."

Logan looked horrified. "Oh Veronica! You know that's not true. I'm sorry that you're going through this. It isn't fair to you."

She just smiled at him. "So what has your day been like so far? Anyone giving you a hard time?"

Logan laughed and took her hand in his. "Like you wouldn't believe Ronnie."

Veronica sighed and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Wanna get outta here? I really don't wanna be here anymore."

Logan grinned from ear to ear. "Beach?"

Veronica stood up and grabbed her bag, "race you to your car?" She muttered as she ran out of the room and down the hallway.

Logan tried to keep up with her and yelled after her, "I never took you for a cheater Mars."

Sunday Shoes, Cap and Gown. The whole town gathered around. Waited 18 years now it's all comin down to this. I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul. My best friends all here in rows. No turning back, Now it's time to walk that line. This tassel is gonna turn. But when the moment passes by. We'll just walk away. Then slowly grow apart.

Veronica enjoyed the remained of her afternoon with Logan. She was really happy with the way that things were turning out.

Walking inside her apartment she barely noticed her father.

Keith coughed, "Veronica dear?"

"Oh hi dad!"

"Where have you been the last five hours?" He asked sternly, he hated being the father to get stern on his daughter.

"Oh I just couldn't stand to be at school anymore I had to get out, I'm sorry if I worried you." She said truthfully, she hated making her dad worry.

"And what exactly was Logan Echolls doing dropping you off?"

Veronica froze. She didn't know what to say to her father. "Umm. We're kind of dating now."

Keith was surprised to her that from his daughter. "Well, that's something new. Invite him over for dinner soon. I think it's time I got to know him better."

Veronica looked at her father seriously. "Umm, okay. Well I have some homework to finish ill see you in a few dad. I love you." An with that she left towards her room.

You know she won't understand. Longneck bottle. Let go of my hand. Hey barroom mirror on the wall. Go stare at someone else. Don't show the world the fool I am. Just keep it to yourself.

Logan's fate of the remainder of his day was not the same as he wished it could have been. He came home expecting his parents to still be out of town.

Aaron was sitting on the couch in the family room when he walked it. And things went to hell from there.

The next thing Logan remembers was the way the belt hit his back repeatedly. The pain he felt with every hit he took. Why did his father hate him so much to do this to him.

Logan sat in his bathroom looking at the work that his father had caused. He was so lost in his own world that he never saw the text the Veronica sent him.

'He Lo! I'm on my way over I have to tell you something. See you soon! xoxo Ronnie.'

Veronica was let inside the house by the house keeper who told her that Logan should be upstairs in his room. Veronica walked up the stairs and knocked on the door softly before opening it. Letting herself inside she saw Logan's reflection in the bathroom out of the corner of her eye.

Walking into the bathroom she saw the horror that was Logan's back. Covering her mouth with her hand she let out a gasp. "Logan?"
