For those who have been asking for some Veronica and Logan interaction please see below.


Chapter 7

As promised after the last bell Di and Veronica headed to the gym, found a seat on the bleachers talking as they waited for Wallace.

"There's a party this weekend," Di mentioned avoiding eye contact.

"No," Veronica replied without second thought,

"Come on, please," Di pleaded, "I will be your best friend," she smiled,

"You're already my best friend," Veronica told her, "why now? You've had no interest in partying in the past,"

"Dick want me to go," Di explained,

"And how did we get from you having to go to me having to go?" Veronica wanted to know turning to face her.

"I need a friendly face there," Di said,

"You have Dick," Veronica told her,

"You know what he's like when he drinks,"

"He calls you. Your already with him, just don't answer," Veronica joked,

"Funny," Di told her with a small shove, "please come, it will get you out of that house for a while," Di bargained,

"Yeah to a party that Lilly will no doubt be attending," Veronica rolled her eyes, "how's that a win?"

"Lot's and lot's of alcohol," Di suggested,

"Cause I am such an alcho," Veronica sighed, "fine I'll come,"

"We can bring Wallace. He'll at least be excited," Di offered,

"We finally get a good guy and want you want to offer him up to the 09er," Veronica asked,

"Everyone should at least once in their life see how the other half live," Di told her,

"Can I at least bring my camera?" Veronica asked smiling, "all those drunk rich kids, I could get a few money shots," they both laughed waving at Wallace as he took the court.

"Who knew he was so good," Veronica stated as they left the school an hours later,

"The boy has some serious skills," Di added,

"The boy is right here," he told them again,

The girls had been messing with him since he had joined them after hitting the showers.

"Who knew we would end up with a jock as a friend?" Veronica went on ignoring him,

"I know, it's so weird," Di snapped her fingers as she realized, "you sleep with jocks right?"

"That's the rumor," Veronica looked thoughtful, "does that mean I need to sleep with Wallace now?"

"Thing so," Di agreed,

"Hey. First of all gross," he scrunched his nose at them, "sorry but I don't see you that way," he explained after Veronica punched him, "and second of all, I have heard the rumors, but after knowing you for a few weeks I have seen no evidence of that one being true,"

"Ahhh," Wallace suddenly found him the center of a Wallace sandwich,

"Way to ruin that fantasy," he shrugged them off with a grin, "ow," he complained as they both slapped him,

"So what are we doing now?" Veronica asked as they continued walking,

"We could head to the beach," Di offered with a shrug,

"Ahhh, missing Dick already," Veronica teased,

"I wouldn't mind trying out my new plane," Wallace added saving Di from answering,

"And I wouldn't mind putting off heading over to my mums for a little while longer," Veronica realized, "The beach it is,"

After a quick stop at Wallace's to collect his plane they headed to the beach. Wallace was surprised when both girls pulled a bag each out of their trunks,

"What?" Veronica asked seeing his face, "this is California," she rolled her eyes at him.

"What girl doesn't come prepared for an unexpected trip to the beach. Especially when its still warm out," Di added throwing her bag over her shoulder, "change rooms?" she asked.

"And let Wallace miss the show," they laughed at his screwed up face,

"I'll be down there setting up my plane," he told them walking away shaking his head as their laughs grew louder.

He was crouched down making his final adjustments when a shadow fell over him making him look up,

"Wally, right?" Dick asked shacking his hair showering Wallace with water,

"Thanks man," Wallace brushed the water from his face, "Wallace," he added,

"Cool toy. Can it fly?" Dick jammed his surfboard in to the sand and moved to get a closer look, "Logan look at the little plane," he called over to his friend exiting the water.

"It's not a toy," Wallace told him,

"Whatever," Dick brushed off his remark, "let's get this thing into the sky," he said rubbing his hands together, "Can I give it a go?" he asked.

"God your child like," Logan told him slapping him on the back, his surfboard now standing beside Dick's,

"Dude, look at that thing," Dick ignored the jab,

"Yes Dick, I can see it," Logan laughed at his friend loving how uncomplicated he was.

"Okay, it's ready," Wallace told them standing up, "just waiting on the girls,"

"Di's here," Dick looked up and down the beach until he found who he was looking for heading in there direction. He took off up the beach,

"Ahhh, young love," Logan sighed dramatically making Wallace chuckle.

The girls had exited the change room and started down the beach when they noticed that Wallace had company. A moment later they saw Dick look up searching the beach,

"And he knows you're here," Veronica laughed as he spotted them,

"Shut up," Di told her looking over at her with a grin,

"And here he comes," Veronica continued as she saw him take up the beach towards them, "he's like an excited puppy," Veronica laughed as Di swung her bag at her.

Veronica moved away from her friend, distancing herself from the surfer boy, laughing as he caught Di picking her up swinging her around.

"Is he always like that?" Wallace asked laughing as she approached.

Veronica turned back looking at her friend now thrown over Dicks shoulder as he walked back down the beach,

"Pretty much," Veronica told him putting down her bag and towel before looking at Logan, "hi," she offered.

She knew that Dick had been here surfing with Logan but she hadn't known she may have to interact with him. His wet suit had been pulled from his upper body revealing a broad chest and shoulders. Not wanting to get caught looking she quickly turned away to look back to Wallace,

"let's see what this bad boy can do,"

She pulled off her t-shirt and sat down on her towel. A moment later Di was disposed in a heap next to her and Dick joined them.

"Ew, you are getting my towel wet," Veronica told him pushing him away.

Di pushed against him standing herself back up and pulling out her towel and laying it down. Pulling off her top she sat back down,

"So hot," Dick moved in behind her wrapping his arm around her,

Veronica looked over at Wallace,

"Are we doing this, chop, chop," she told him clapping her hands together with a grin,

"Keep your pants on," Wallace said fiddling with the remote.

"Or not," she glared at Dick as Di elbowed him.

Laughter on her other side brought her head around to find Logan had taken a seat in the sand on the other side of her, without thinking she picked up a handful of sand and threw it at him and laughed herself when the sand stuck to his wet body. He glared at her as he spat out sand, stood up and went down to the watch to wash it off.

"Not cool, Ronnie," Dick said,

"I don't like being laughed at," she shrugged,

"She really doesn't," Di agreed laughing only to be sprayed with sand herself.

Di, still being mostly dry was able to simply brush it away after giving her friend a look, Dick still being wet had some more trouble so stood to brush at the wet sand now all over him as he glared at her,

"Your asking for it, Ronnie,"

"Don't call me that," she threw more sand in his direction as he tried to move out of the way.

He started to move towards her,

"Don't come near me," she threatened holding her arms out as if to stop his approach.

"Like ity bity little you could do anything to me," he smirked holding her attention. Wallace and Di laughed as they could see what was coming.

Logan having returned from washing himself off came up behind her grabbing her arms shocking her giving Dick the chance to grab her ankles.

"What the… No!" she realized where the were heading swinging her between them.

She struggled against their hold,

"I'm sorry. Lesson learnt," she begged them as they walked into the water.

They rocked her back and forth a few times and she couldn't help but laugh a little, then she was in the air splash landing in the water as the boys turned away walking back to Di and Wallace watching and laughing from the edge of the water. Spluttering she came up finding her feet and making her way back out,

Logan had taken some pleasure in throwing Veronica into the surf. Lilly had been unbearable all day and even after a good surf he had been feeling frustrated. He just hadn't expected to enjoy watching her walk out of the water pushing her wet shorts off her hips, down her toned thighs revealing more of her bikini clad body.

"Okay, that was kind of fun," she admitted to them walking out of the water throwing her shorts onto the sand, "can we do it again?" she asked surprising them.

They threw her in a couple more times with Wallace also taking a turn at tossing her in. Veronica decided that Di also needed to have a turn at being thrown in and after some argument she agreed before they moved back up the beach to dry off. Wallace got his plane in the air and they all took turns flying it.

Logan was having fun. He had never expected to find himself hanging out with Veronica, but here he was on the beach having a great time. He was surprised to find she had a wicked sense of humor. There were not to many girls who would enjoy being thrown into water against there will. Lilly would probably kill him for hanging out with her

"Crap, Lilly," Logan swore jumping up looking at his watch noticing it was after five.

"Dude, for a guy not getting any, you are totally wiped," Dick laughed,

"Like you can talk," Logan took pleasure in shooting back at his friend.

The others laughed as Dick pouted, Di patted his chest.

"You big baby," Di said smiling at him,

He grabbed he sides rolling her underneath him as he started to tickle her,

"Dick, stop," she chocked with laughter squirming to get away.

Veronica laughed at them but realized she should probably get going as well. Wallace, still enjoying his plane, decided to hang out a little longer with Di promising to drop him home leaving Veronica to make her way back up the beach alone with Logan. They walked in silence not knowing what to say to each other. Reaching the parking lot they stopped and looked at each other,

"It's been… interesting," he saluted her walking away.

Logan had invited her to his previously planned afternoon at the beach with Dick but she had had enough of people at school so decided against the beach and since there was no way she wanted to head home yet, Logan offered his own home to her as his parents were spending the week in LA, promising to be back by five.

Lilly hated going home after school these days, her father was still at work leaving her alone with Leanne. Leanne would always try to speak to her, ask her about her day. Lilly was in no mood to deal with her questions. She had had an awful day after her confrontation with Veronica and there was no way she was going to speak about it with the bitches mother. Veronica would be spending most of the weekend at her house so Lilly planned to spend as much time as possible away from it.

"Logan's not here," Lilly was surprised to hear the voice from behind her.

She spun around to find Aaron had entered the pool house behind her.

"Mr. Echoll's, you surprised me, Logan said you and Mrs. Echoll's were away at the moment," Lilly took a step back preferring some distance between Logan's dad and herself.

During the years she had dated Logan Lilly had often flirted with her boyfriends father enjoying the attention of the older man. Now that she knew the truth of what he was capable of, what he had done to his son, she tried to discourage his attention.

"I came home earlier than expected, Lynn still has some commitments," he smiled at her in a way that made her skin crawl.

"Sorry to bother you. I'll come back. Later, when Logan gets home," She tried to inch towards the door.

"Don't leave on my account," Aaron leered at her.

"No, there are some things I need to do. I'll come back later. Sorry to intrude," Aaron stepped in front of her blocking her escape route.

"Lilly, you could never intrude," Aaron touched her arm, "You get even more beautiful each time I see you,"

"Don't," Lilly pulled away.

"You used to like my attention," Aaron moved in again, "flirted with me while my son was in the next room."

"I didn't mean to lead you on. Your Logan's father," Lilly scanned the room quickly hoping to find another way out.

"You know you want it," he leered at her.

"No, I want to go," she told him.

"We could have some fun if you stay," he offered continuing to leer down at her sending a chill down her spine.

"I'm not interested in having fun with you," Lilly glared at him crossing her arms across her chest.

"Yet you are still trying to entice me," Aaron reached out at touched the edge of her breast pushed up by her folded arms.

"Don't touch me," Lilly hit his hand away.

"You bitch," Aaron sneered at her, "you think you get to come into my house looking like a tart, flirting and tempting me and then knocking me back,"

Lilly shrank back from him as his voice boomed,

"You come out here to the pool house where you know we can be alone, flaunting yourself in front of me. Don't you know who I am?" he grabbed Lilly's arm and threw her towards the bed.

"Please," Lilly begged as she let out a cry, "don't." as he came to stand over her reaching for his belt.

"I'm only giving you what you have been begging for," his unbuttoned his jeans and released his zip.

Lilly rolled away from him and cried out as he grabbed her ankle pulling her back.

"You have been asking for this for years," he pulled out his penis rubbing his hand up and down it while he held her in place with his other.

Lilly looked away, closing her eyes as she kicked out at him. She felt her foot connect,

"Bitch," he growled slapping her across the face causing her to cry out.

He climbed on top of her holding her down her body with his,

"No," She cried squirming beneath him as she tried to escape.

"Get out," Aaron Echoll's told her rolling away, zipping himself back up, "I'm expecting company,"

Not needing to be told twice she crawled off the bed moving towards the door, leaving her torn panties behind.

"I'm sure I don't need to tell you not to tell anyone about this," he warned her making her pause just a moment at the door, "mind you, with your reputation no one would believe you anyway," she could hear the smirk on his face and felt his eyes as he watched her leave.

Tears ran down her face as she ran through the Echolls mansion. Her body protested the movement as she rushed to leave. In her car she turned the ignition barely giving the engine time to turn over before skidding out of their driveway.

She drove, not knowing where she was heading. Her cheek throbbed, her wrists already had bruises appearing from where she had been held down. She was no virgin but she had never felt the ache between her legs she felt now. How did she let this happen? How did she let herself be caught alone with him? She knew what he had done, what he was capable of. She pulled over on a side street and let the sobs take her over.


A/N: Was anyone expecting me to go in this direction? Do you think I am a bitch for doing this to Lilly? I realized what I was going to do and wrote most of the last scene after I finished the second chapter and then went back and worked on filling the space between. I would really appreciate some feedback on this as I am still not 100% sure which direction it will lead me, though I do have some ideas.

What did you think of Logan and Veronica's interaction? I tried to keep it light as I knew what would be happening next.

I am also trying to think of a new title for this story, any ideas? I am thinking maybe 'What could have been'.
