CHAPTER 10
Veronica sat on the far left of her couch, and Duncan sat on the far right. Neither of them said anything.
They had been like this for ten minutes now and Veronica was starting to wonder if Duncan was ever going to say anything. She knew the he was upset over what she had told him, but he still hadn't said anything; and I mean nothing.
She glanced over at him and then went back to looking at her feet. He was staring out into space, his hands braced onto his knees. She wasn't sure what he was thinking, but she was a little scared. She knew that on at least one occasion his epilepsy had manifested itself in uncontrollable violence. He was a strong guy, and Veronica wasn't sure what she would do if he freaked out on her.
After she had let him inside he had sat down and looked at her expectantly. He hadn't talked as she had explained why she had left with Logan. He hadn't asked any questions when she told him that she wanted to be with Logan now. Duncan hadn't even flinched when she told him the she didn't love him anymore. And by that point she had been trying to get a reaction out of him.
Veronica was about to speak again when there was an urgent knock on the door. She frowned and was about to get up, when Duncan rose silently from his seat. She looked over at him in surprise and froze.
He was finally showing some reaction; pure rage.
Logan waited impatiently at the door after he knocked. He was about to knock again when the door was ripped open. Duncan stood was wearing an argyle sweater over a pair of jeans and Logan almost smiled at how dorky his friend was; ...ex-friend. The urge to smile faded as he noticed Veronica behind Duncan, standing next to the couch. Her eyes were wide with fear.
Logan looked back at Duncan grimly. For one second their eyes met and an understanding passed between them:
Duncan had been waiting for Logan, and he was here.
Logan had come for Veronica, but Duncan was in his way.
Logan could hear Veronica scream as they lunged toward each other. He didn't hear or see anything but Duncan after that.
