AN: Hey guys, well I guess it has been a while lol. Yeah, well so does life, and my life is so crazy right now. I am also writing other things besides this story, in other fandoms so it has been a little tough. Well anyways, this chapter is a little different than all the others because it is in Duncan's POV. I have never wrote from his POV, so tell me how you think!
'Logan… Veronica… Sara…' Duncan thought with a shake of his head as he made his way to the parking lot.
The drive back to hotel was short; the wheels in his head were turning, many memories flooding back.
After arriving at the hotel, Duncan set Lilly down for her nap, and sat down on the couch in the living room area.
The television set was completely forgotten in the background, the characters inside the box chatting and laughing, the sound easily fading.
His head hung low, elbows resting on his knees, hands rubbing his temples aimlessly, a clear sign of frustration.
All the feelings, emotions, sentiments, he'd been trying to hide deep within for the last couple of years resurfaced.
"I hate Logan." He let out a sigh of relief he didn't know he was holding. "There I finally said it, end of story. Everything that has happened between Veronica and me is all Logan's fault. If he had asked her first back when we were twelve our lives wouldn't have been so screwed up."
He took a deep breath and began pacing back and forth, "Lilly was infatuated with him and the fact he had money and fame didn't hurt either. Not that she had to worry about money because our family is loaded after all."
"I only saw Veronica as a sister and never thought about dating her, but Lilly wasn't happy with that. She loved being the center of attention. She was the only one that saw that Logan and Veronica were crazy about each other. Although Veronica was her best friend, her confidant, her 'little sister,' what Lilly Kane wanted she got."
He chuckled softly t himself, "She was the one that insisted I asked Veronica out or else I'd be very sorry. A week later I did and to my surprise she said yes. A day after that Logan and Lilly hooked up. That is where the rollercoaster began."
"Veronica had always been amazing, but since I had begun spending more the time with her the harder it was not to fall in love with her. I couldn't get enough of her smile, those lips, everything about her was perfect. I was completely and utterly drawn to her like never before. I started to think it was smooth sailing from there finishing school, getting married, having kinds, and living happily ever after. That was when my mom decided it as time to have a talk."
"I couldn't believe it. Veronica? My Veronica… was my sister?! I was crushed. My world began falling apart… I couldn't stay with her, be with her, it hurt way too much just being near her. But how could I tell the girl of my dreams we couldn't be a couple anymore because we had the same father? I couldn't. So I didn't. I did the only thing I could think off. I ignored her completely."
"Logan was furious at me for breaking her heart and ignoring her. It was clear that he was still helplessly in love with her. Fuck him. I still loved her too, but I couldn't, I wasn't supposed to because it was morally wrong… incest. Me leaving her was for the best and only way."
"The day Lilly died was a depressing day that pushed us into another world wind of emotions. Logan was up to his ears in alcohol and full of hate. Hate towards himself for not being there to defend her and save her, hate towards the Mars' family accusing my dad, and at Lilly for her promiscuous ways."
"I was furious at him for torturing my girl everyday for something her father did. The name calling, the pornography pictures plastered all over her locker daily, the words slut or whore spray painted on it. All that shit made her change… made her into something I didn't recognize. The pinks were gone, the golden locks I loved running my fingers through were cut off. She was different…"
His hands clenched at his sides causing his knuckles to turn white, "And just like that at Logan's surprise birthday party there they were together holding hands like nothing had ever happened. Any feelings of brotherhood or friendship I might have had left for Logan disappeared. He betrayed me! He took the one thing he knew I still cared about. Asshole! Took my Veronica. Not his, but MINE. You're never supposed to steal your friend's girl even if se is an ex."
He punched the wall angrily, "I can still remember that day… that dreadful day when she appeared in at my door crying and holding herself tight accusing me of rape… How could she ever think…?! That I would do such a thing! To hurt her like that… I thought she was my sister and what we'd done was beautiful, but gross at the same time because I thought she was related to me at the time."
"How could Lilly been so stupid? Sleeping with Aaron fucking Echolls of all fucking people. Ever since that goddamn family moved here to Neptune there's been nothing, but heartache. The only good thing about this is that I now know Veronica isn't my sister. What a relief! The only problem was that she was in love with that prick. I wasn't even sure why I pretending to be his friend anymore. All he does is get in the way…"
"Thankfully Logan being the fuck up we all know he can be got himself accused of killing a PCher. He could have rot in hell for all I cared. This situation of course gave me leeway with Veronica because she dumped him shortly afterwards and I was there to pick up the pieces. I broke up with Meg soon after."
"All I had to do was give her that fortune cookie 'True stories never have endings.' The bus crash came as a shock. Meg ended up in a comma while being pregnant with my child. I had to be there for both of them; I couldn't let the Mannings keep the baby because they would harm her. When Meg died I knew I had to flee the country with her, it was the only way to keep her safe. I hated leaving my Veronica again, but it was something I had to do."
"Over the past year, I've had Weidman keep an out on Veronica, and everything that goes down in Neptune. I couldn't' believe my ears when he told me Veronica, my Veronica was pregnant with Logan's fucking baby. My world crumbled once more. Logan ruined everything."
"He wasn't supposed to go to college or starting a family with her. That is supposed to be me. No, Logan Echolls won't get his way anymore. My Veronica, Sara, Lilly, and I will be a family. The family we always dreamed off even if it's the last thing I do. I will do anything to make sure of it and no one will be able to stop me."
He stopped his rambling when he heard Lilly crying over the baby monitor.
So, what did you think? Let me know? Review Please!! : )
