Thank you for all the reviews! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. My day back to school was amazing! I got two of my exam papers back and so far I have two definite A's! Yay! Since today was awesome and you guys made it more awesome with your great reviews. I decided to write this chapter sooner. Thank my teachers for not giving me homework today! Another reason school was great today lol. I know some of you are excepting this to take place in school but this is still Sunday. Happy reading :)
"Veronica! I specifically told you not to go near Lilly!" Logan yells
"She's not dangerous Logan she's just misguided" I try reasoning. I was thinking about the party a lot and how Lilly acted and I just didn't understand why. Now I do. She's just a confused, hurt, resentful teenage girl. I can't pretend to know all of it but I'm thinking that's the gist of it. And I think she was a little drunk. She looked terrible when I saw her. Well terrible for her standards I guess
"She attacked you! Not everyone has a good soul underneath. You want to see a good side to everyone but not everyone has a good side." He shouts and I understand why he's angry but he dated Lilly, I thought maybe he'd agree with me. I guess he didn't really know her since she didn't really know him. Plus after the party I think he see's Lilly in a whole different light.
"Maybe she does Logan; it's just really, really deep"
"If you dig that deep you're going to get stuck in a whole"
"Logan, she didn't attack me okay? We had a conversation, it gave me the answers I needed" I start to shout.
"You went alone!" He yells again.
"How do you know anyway? Are you spying on me?" I meant the last part as a joke but it sounded more like an accusation.
"If you do things that could get you hurt, I might just. But no, Casey saw you coming out of Kane house"
"And he just had to tell you, you're not my keeper Logan!" I yell. Seriously, this always happens if anyone sees me they just have to let Logan know.
"Veronica, I'm trying to protect you." He says a bit softer but his voice still carrying that angry tone.
"I can handle myself Logan," I say calming down.
"I just don't want you getting hurt"
"I won't, I'm going to be seeing Lilly at school, you know" I say lightly but Logan remains silent. He did something, something bad.
"Logan, what did you do?"
"I did what had to be done" he says seriously
"I told you to leave it alone" I feel the my anger rise
"I told you to stay away from Lilly" he retorts in the same tone
"Logan! What did you do?" I ask more alert.
"Sides had to be picked; Lilly no longer rules the entire school. She won't be receiving her usual good treatment. Lilly broke the rules." He says cutting himself off from revealing anymore information.
"What rules?" Logan stays silent again "Logan, what rules?"
"No one is allowed to mess with you" He says stone faced. What the hell?
"You made me a rule? Why? God damn it Logan! We don't lie to each other! You tell me everything NOW!" I yell at him letting my anger get the best of me.
"Ronnie..." He says softly and my anger goes down a little, but just a little.
"Truth, now" I demand
"When your mom left; you didn't come to school for a few days. You changed and rumors were made, people started playing pranks, writing on you locker and stuff. I stopped it before you found out. I made it clear that no one was to talk or do anything bad to you, if I heard anything there would be consequences. They thought that because you changed I'd stop being your friend. They were wrong. I made that clear to everyone including Lilly. No one was allowed to tell you anything about the rule either." He finishes and I guess I understand but I don't like it.
"Logan you can't just threaten people because they don't like me," I say pushing my anger down.
"I'm not sorry for that Veronica; I did what had to be done" Now he just wants to piss me off more, damn you Logan!
"You can't control everyone Logan. You shouldn't play god Logan, it's not right" I screech at him
"It's not about right and wrong" he argues
"What's it about?" I ask even though I really want to yell at him more, I know it won't do any good.
"Protecting you" He answers looking into my eyes and I look away fast.
"It's not your duty to protect me Logan"
"I'm your best friend, it is!"
"You're my best friend not my father!"
"If it were me, you'd do the same. I know you Ronnie. You have done it before"
"You're taking it to a whole new level Logan" I argue
"I'd go through any level to protect you. I'm not apologizing for that" I'm never going to get through to him, I know he knows he was wrong but he still justifies it. End justifies the means and all that.
"Fine Logan, but now I'm asking you as your best friend to please not have these rules about me, don't threaten people to be nice to me. I understand why you did what you did. I don't like that you did it and I don't like how you did it and I don't like that you didn't tell me about it." I say in one breathe
"Are we okay?" He asks softly
"We are going to be. You need to retract your orders about Lilly. I promise if Lilly seems dangerous to me, I'll call you after I taser her, okay?" I compromise.
"I kinda made burnt any bridges with Duncan" He ducks his head.
"Logan, what did you do now?" I sigh
"I called Lilly"
"And?" I push for more information.
"I yelled at her, I was angry Ronnie, really angry"
"What did you say?" Oh Logan
Flashback
"What the fucking hell is wrong with you Lilly?" Logan spits angry into the phone.
"Logan..." Lilly says unsure.
"You have no right to do what you did" he says livid.
"We weren't even broken up for a more than 24 hours and you were all over her" defends her self.
"You didn't even wait till we were over" he argues laughing humorlessly .
"I didn't do it in public" she retorts
"This is all about your fucking reputation? She could have died and you did it for your god damned reputation!"He roars fuming.
"What about me Logan? Don't you care if something happened to me?" She asks tears making their way down her face and she hides it with and icy tone.
"I did care; I cared and look where it got me. Veronica's my best friend, I warned you Lilly. You know the rules. You broke the rule" he shouts frustrated.
"So what Logan? What the fuck are you going to do to me? I'm Queen Bee. I'm Lilly Kane" She says in a egotistical manner.
"I'm Logan Echolls, don't under estimate me Lilly." He warns.
"You're the one under estimating me Logan." She points out heated with anger.
"Don't fuck with me Lilly. Stop acting like a bitch for once and realize that your fucking actions have consequences. You're the one that attacked Veronica first. I'm sure her father, the sheriff would be interested in that. There's something your daddy can't buy off, Sheriff Mars."
"You're going to through me in lock up?" She asks stunned.
"If it was up to me, but Veronica is too good of a person to do that so I'm going to handle your consequences"
"So Logan what's the consequences for touching Veronica Mars?" She asks still a little shaken up but recovers "I'm sure it will be worth it, after all I hurt your precious invincible Veronica Mars" She say malice entering her voice.
"You fucking bitch..." Logan screams with rage into the phone
"Lilly who are you talking to?" Duncan goes into Lilly's room.
"No one that concerns you, Donut" Lilly says putting the phone away from her ear wiping her face and turning around to face Duncan.
"I can hear he's screaming though the phone, give me the phone" Duncan says noticing Lilly's red-rimmed eyes.
"No"
"Lilly give me the god damned phone!" Duncan shouts and grabs the phone
"You're not fucking going to be Queen anymore-" Logan continues his rant unaware that Lilly wasn't listening.
"What the fuck? Logan?" Duncan shouts into the phone.
"What the hell? Where's Lilly?" Logan snaps out of his rant and asks.
"You think you can call my sister, threaten her and get away with it?" Duncan venomously howls
"This is not your business Duncan-" Logan says trying to calm himself.
"The hell it isn't! Lilly is my sister, I'm making it my business"
"You were there you saw what happened"
"Yeah I did, Lilly wasn't the only one there. Veronica was there too. How would you like me calling Veronica and threatening her?"
"I'll fucking kill you!" Logan snarls gaining back his anger
"Yeah I thought so, you think I'm just going to leave you for threatening my sister?"
"She broke the rule, man. Veronica is the victim"
"You broke my rule. No one messes with Lilly."
"So what? Innocent Duncan is coming out to play with the big guys?"
"You better armor up, this isn't over"
"Fine, if it's war you want, it's war you'll get."
End flashback
"Logan" I say in an exhausted voice
"Tomorrow, schools going to be a battle field Ronnie there's nothing you can do about it." He says and then she's her look and rephrases "You will not do anything about it"
"Like hell I won't. This started because of me Logan." I argue. Why is this happening? "I'm going to end it before there's bodies on your battle field"
"Ronnie, they can' just get away with it besides most of the school choose us or choose not to get involved so don't worry about it" He says brushing it away.
"Logan it's not about winning"
"When you're involved I won't settle for losing" he says determinedly.
"I appreciate the sentiment but this war is not happening so put your toys away."
"You are not going to do anything" he says sternly. Seriously? He's worse than my dad.
"You're not going to stop me Logan" I say determinedly.
"Like hell I won't!"He snorts
"I'm going to talk to Duncan" I announce.
"No" he says stubbornly.
"I'll take Meg, they're like in love with each other" I compromise.
"No"
"I'll take Dick and Wallace along as well" I persuade him.
"Veronica leave it alone, I made my bed I have to lay in it."
"No you don't you can open the covers and get in" I argue.
"Veronica, no"
"Logan, I will forgive you for your rules about me and everything that I've learnt that you've kept from me today if you let me end this"
"I thought you forgave me" He says softly.
"No I said I will once you retract you orders. Let me handle this Logan, you've been protecting me since we became friends and this war started because of me. Let me handle this for you"
"Fine, but Meg, Dick and Wallace are coming with you, wait why can't I just come?"
"Because you'll do more harm than good" I say with a half smile.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
Please Review! :) It keeps me motivated
