Chapter 10

Veronica was sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in her hand and watching the fire in the chimney. If she was honest with herself she would admit that this breakup with Logan was affecting her more than it should, but since she did not want to be honest with herself, she was just telling herself that it was the bad day she had at work today. She reached for the bottle again, to fill her glass again when her cell rang, she ignores it and continues to drink.

She never thought that one day she would drink to forget Logan Echolls, why did he have to make her see that he was a nice guy? Why did he make her fall for him like he did? Veronica sighed and played with her glass before drinking all there was in it. She put her drink down and went to her office to work a little, she needed to stop thinking about Logan and working was one way to do it.

She sat behind her desk and started to type on her keyboard, making sure she was putting all the details about the case she had worked on this afternoon. She was looking for her highlighter, moving all the papers which were on her desk, but suddenly stopped when she saw a picture. Veronica slowly picked it up and smiled sadly, it was a picture of her and Logan which had been taken a few days ago, while they were at a funfair. Slowly a tear made its way on her cheek, she wiped it away, but it was stronger than her, she wanted to cry because she had just lost the guy she was falling for. Logan was there for her, offering her happiness but she had turned her back on it and had let Andrew kiss her, and the worse thing was that she did not even like it or wanted it. Why did it happen to her? Just when she was starting to sort out her feelings for him, he broke up with her, but it was her fault, she had played and lost.

She was so deep in her thought that she did not hear the open of her office open or saw who it was until she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. Veronica turned her chair and saw it was Wallace, he took her in his arms and before she knew it, she broke down in his arms.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Wallace asked her, as he made her sit on the couch, never letting her go. He pushed her hair aside so he could look at her in the eyes. "Why don't you tell your big brother what's going on?"

"You aren't my big brother, if you're anything then it's my little brother."

"Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humour. Are you going to tell me what happened to make you cry?"

"Logan..."

"I'm going to kill this son o..."

"It's not his fault, it's mine."

"Good, I like the guy." he said with a smile, hoping she would smile, but instead she started to cry again. "I'm sorry Veronica, I didn't mean to make you cry. Why are you saying it's your fault? What happened?"

"Logan's former agent's lawyer is Andrew and after the meeting he came to ask me out and kissed me."

"Let me guess, Logan saw it."

"Yeah, he just left and said it was nothing since it was a stringless relationship and he wants me to be happy then he left."

"You love him, don't you? It was supposed to be a simple relation but you love him. What are you going to do about it?"

"Nothing since it was just a game for him and I don't have time for love. I'm sure it's going to go away soon, I don't care about him, it's nothing."

"Veronica you know you're lying to yourself, the sooner you admit your feelings for Logan, the sooner you'll get him to forgive you."

"I don't want him to forgive me because I've done nothing, Andy kissed me and that's the end of the story. If Logan is imaging things, it's not my fault if he's such an idiot, why would I want someone like him? I'm better off alone, see that's why I don't do relation and why I accepted the whole no strings attached thing, I had someone to go out with when I was bored and I didn't even need to always be in contact with him." Veronica said as she wiped her tears, telling herself that it was the last time she was shedding a tear because of Logan Echolls. She stood up and went to her desk to take some files and put them in her safe.

"You can't be serious."

"I'm serious, why do you think I'm not serious? I'm allowed to think like that if I want to."

"You're being a bitch."

"Who cares about it?"

"I do, call me when you stop being a bitch." Wallace said also getting up. He kissed her cheek and walked towards the door but before he walk out he turned to tell her one last thing. "If my opinion still means anything to you, I think you should take some time off and go home to remember who you're deep down."

"Logan, what brings you here?" Lynn said when she saw her son standing on the doorstep of her home with a bag in hand. "I'm so happy to see you." She took her son in her arms and hug him before taking him inside.

"I was at home working on my new book when I realized that my inspiration was gone and you always said that I could come home to get my aspiration back and I really need it right now."

"There is something else, what is it?"

"Nothing."

"Don't say nothing, we both know it's must be something for you to come home. Follow me to the kitchen, I want to know everything about the girl who has broken your heart."

"Mom believe me when I say you don't want to know."

"I'm your mother, and I want to know everything about her so I can put a hit on her." She said with a smile as she made him sit on a stool.
