I know they got back really soon and she easily forgave Logan, but I had no idea of how to get them back together and what he could do to make her forgive him. And don't forget they still love each other despite how much they hurt each other.

Thanks to those who reviewed and you now know how it works, the more you review the sooner I update, probably on thursday before going out for a party. I'm about to finish this story so I'll start to work on What hurts the most more seriously and update some time next week since I'm going to be on holiday for one week on Friday and my parents cancelled our trip to Paris.

Chapter 10

"Aunt Trish!" Veronica said, quickly moving off Logan's lap and fixing her shirt. "What are you doing here?"

"It's my house, what were you doing with him?"

"Kissing?"

"I know what you were doing, but I thought you and Logan were through, what's going on?"

"We're back together. We talked and we've realized that we are happier together than apart, so we're going to try it again."

"Are you sure?"

"Mrs. Mars, I know I hurt your niece, but I love her, we love each other and we want to try again. I know this time it will work because I won't be the psychotic jackass I used to be. I love her and I want to make her happy. Please, don't try to make us break up; I've barely made it alive these last few months without her. I need her…"

"You didn't exactly prove it! You've made her life impossible for months."

"I know and I regret it. You can trust me, if I could, I would go back in time and change everything but I can't. I want to make up for lost time. I've lived without her for six months and I know that I can't do it again, it would kill me. I love her. She makes me happy and she makes me want to wake up in the morning, she is the love of my life." He said, begging her to believe him.

Trish looked away and sat on the armchair, she said nothing for a few seconds.

"You've managed to convince me Logan, but you hurt her again and I will kill you. But now, you have to convince Keith and that won't be easy, you can believe me."

"I know. Don't remind me."

"Do you have a place to stay?"

"No." he answered, not knowing why she was asking him.
"If you want, you can stay here but it will in the guest room and Veronica's room is off limit, understood?"

"Yes."

"Good, I like you Logan but if you hurt my only niece you are a dead man. I'm leaving the two of you alone so don't do anything, I wouldn't do."

"Like what? You did most of the forbidden stuff according to dad."

"Very funny, don't do what I did then." She said with a smile as she left the room and went to the kitchen. Logan looked at her surprised by how cool her aunt was. His own aunt would have never reacted like that; she would have kicked her out for calling her a slut, especially, Aaron's older sister who was a real bitch.

"Your aunt is weird."

"Weird? Why?"

"She just agreed to let me sleep in the same house as you. Your father would never let me in your house without showing me his gun first and he never ever let me in your bedroom even with the door open."

"Daddy Mars, in an over protective father, I'm his only daughter." She said, before quickly looking down, she was not his daughter.

Logan took her in his arms to comfort her because he knew exactly what she was thinking and didn't want her to think such things. "I never want to tell him about the bitch he married… it would kill him if he ever found out the truth. You have to promise to never tell him."

"I won't. Jake knows the truth… you will have to deal with him too."

"He knows? God, this is a nightmare, he can't know, he's going to ruin everything. Who told him? What am I going to do?"

"I don't know. You need to take easy. He's known for months and he still hasn't done anything."

"Who told him?"

"No one, Duncan and I were fighting when he told me you were siblings and Jake overheard. I don't know what happened after I left, Duncan told me his father was shocked and he promised him not to contact you or anything like that until you were ready."

"Well, he still hasn't contacted me; I guess, that means he doesn't want to be a part of my life, does it?"
"I don't know I wish I could give you the answer you want but I can't. You should ask Duncan or Jake, they know the answer better than me, if you want I can take you to Neptune and bring you back."

"No." she said sharking her head as she stood up and paced in front of him. She stopped in front of him. "It will have to wait until this summer; I don't want to do it before my exams. How could this happen? I was supposed to have a nice and quiet life with Lilly and Duncan as my best friends and you as my boyfriend, not a life in which Lilly is dead, Duncan is still my friend and you as my ex-boyfriend, what went wrong?"

"I don't know, don't worry Veronica, everything will go back to normal."

"Nothing can go back to normal, tomorrow Lilly will still be dead and Jake will still be my father."

"Yeah, but we are together now and Duncan is still our friend, it's about as normal as it can be. I wish things were different and if I could, I would make things better but I can't go back in time."

"It's not our fault, the only one responsible of all this pain is Lilly's killer. When we find him we will slowly put everything behind us."

"So, you still think Abel didn't do it?"

"I know he didn't do it, Lilly got a ticket two hours after the time of her death. You know how much she loved to drive fast. Before she died she told me there was someone hassling her, she had slept with someone while she was drunk and she didn't know what to do."

"Who was it?"

"I don't know. I was supposed to go to Lilly's on the day she died so she could tell me more, but by the time I arrived she was dead…"

"You were with me that day, after the car wash thing, we went to the beach and then went to her house." Logan said softly. "If we hadn't gone to the beach, she might still be alive."

"Don't do that, that's what I did and it drove me crazy. Lilly is dead and there's nothing we could have done. The guy wanted to kill her… he did it that day just like he could have done it any another day. Don't feel guilty about it."

"It's hard knowing I could have done something."

"Believe me; you will soon realize that there was nothing we could have done. But let's talk about merrier things, what do you feel like eating?"

"I don't know, you?"

"Pizza!"

"Okay, go get your jacket, I'm taking you out."

"You don't know where it is."

"That's why you are going to be my guide."
