'So…' Veronica said while playing with Logan's hair. They were cuddling together on Logan's couch and talking about what had happened that day.
'So, what?'
'So, what do you think about the whole Mac situation?'
'Well, frankly, I think that we should stop talking about it.' He started tickling her.
'Hey, are you going to ask me to prom?' she said seriously, not making eye contact.
'Actually, I was thinking of taking this other girl. She's blonde, petite a little grouchy at times…I think you know her. She's really girlie, frills and all.' He smiled.
'Oh, in that case I'll just have to go with Weevil. Shame…'
Logan kissed her and then a knock came on the door.
'Do people have nothing better to do?' Veronica asked while sliding of his lap so that he could answer the door.
'Veronica. I might need some help.' He called from the door.
'Why who is…' she stopped abruptly to see Dick crying and bloody, he had obviously gotten into the wrong end of a fight. His left eye had a big bruise and his nose was bleeding. Of course he was drunk and could barely stand.
'Bro, I blew it. She'll never be with me now.' Dick slurred.
'Who?'
'My Mackie. She's gone. It's like when all the beer is gone but you can't get any more because you're already too drunk to move, you know.' He cried some more.
'His Mackie? What has gotten into him?' Veronica whispered to Logan.
'Just help me get him inside. He can stay in Duncan's room.'
'I know you can get him in by yourself, you're strong. I have to go.' She grabbed her bag and bolted out the door before Logan could even stop her.
Veronica hadn't been in Duncan's room since the night she had collected the picture. Since then she has done all she could to avoid going in there. She still wasn't completely over him even if she does love Logan.
'Dude, don't let her get away. It'll be the biggest mistake you ever made. Trust me I know.'
'For once your right. Stay here.' He ran as fast as he could to catch up with her. Dick slumped down on the floor.
Logan caught up with Veronica just before the elevator opened.
'Hey, what's up?' he said grabbing her arm and pulling her close to him.
'I can't do this, I have to go. I'm sorry.' She started to cry and pulled away.
'Why? Is it something I did? Is it Dick?'
'You haven't done anything, you've been perfect. But…'
'Don't say but, nothing good comes afterwards.' She pushed the button for the elevator.
'I'm still hung up on Duncan; it's not fair on you. I'm sorry; we can't see each other anymore, at least not for now.'
The elevator doors opened and a teary eyed Veronica stepped in. She looked away from Logan. The doors began to close and he was getting angry. He heard the elevator go down and kicked the wall hard. He went back to find Dick slumped and crying heavily on his doorstep.
'Come on, bro, let's get you inside.' He said as he lifted Dick up.
'Where's Ronnie?'
'She's gone, she broke up with me.'
Both of them remained in silence. Logan set Dick down on the bed in Duncan's old room and watched him curl into a ball. He felt like doing exactly the same.
She said she loved me. I love her, what more could she want. Duncan left, how can she have feelings for him still?
'Do you think that Veronica and Mackie will come back to us?'
'I don't know, Dick.' Dick turned to face him, a sad look in his eyes. He needed comfort but then again so did Logan.
'I miss her. She's the only girl that has liked me for me, you know?'
'Yeah…I know.'
'We'll figure it out, you and me, we'll get them back.'
