Chapter 10

Veronica was sitting on the sink waiting for Logan who was supposed to join her soon, but he was late, she could not believe it, her father had grounded her. Even if he had done what any other father would have done in his position, it did not mean it it did not hurt. She was still thinking about it when Logan walked into the bathroom and dropped his books next to her.

"What's wrong?" he asked her, seeing how she looked a bit depressed compared to this morning, he wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him, she wrapped her arms tightly around him which worried him even more.

"My father was home this morning when I came."

"What? I thought he was in Nevada."

"Yeah but he apparently got home sooner, I'm grounded until he decides otherwise."

"Grounded?" he asked surprised. "Why?"

"I didn't tell him where I was last night and with who."

"Veronica, you should have told him, even if it was only to get him off your back."

"No, I don't think you realize what you're saying. If my father ever learns about us he won't like it, not at all. Logan he knows about what happened at school, I don't know how but he somehow learned it which means you aren't this favorite person, in fact you're far from being this favorite person."

"Well, I can try to get him to like me again, I remember that he used to like me."

"Yeah, used to. I don't care if I'm grounded or not, we can still see each other at school or elsewhere when he's out of town, I'm not going to let him tell me who to date, if I forgave you then he can."

"Yeah, but this is different for you, you've read the letters.."

"Actually, I have only read a few of them, the one you wrote before Lilly's and the one after her funerals and some others. Let me tell you the letter post funeral was pretty horrible, I couldn't even read what you had written."

"I was drunk when I wrote it, do you really think I would have been able to write it if I hadn't been drunk, I was after all 'breaking up' with you."

"Yeah but to break up with me you should have dated me before." she said with a smile which turned into giggles when he started to tickle her, she tried to get away but he would not let her. He stopped after a few seconds, seeing she was out of breath, he kissed her and just let her take deep breath. "Logan do you think you can get me to see Connor Larkin?"

"What? Why would you want to see him, please tell me you haven't already fallen out of love."

"No, I just want to find who took Weevil's money and to do so I have to talk to all the guys who were present, you're the next one on the list, consider yourself warned."

"Great, so if you're going to question everyone that means you're going to talk to Duncan..."

"Logan, I don't want to fight with you again, this is nothing more than an investigation, if you really want you can be present."

"Yeah, I'm sure Duncan is stupid enough not to realize there's something up if I'm present."

"Shut up, I wasn't done explaining! So as I was saying before being brutally interrupted, I can go to his house while you're there, by chance of course. Or I can go to your house and question you while Duncan is there."

"You're an evil girl little one!" he said kissing the top of her nose.

"That's what the doctor said when he saw me come out of my mother, Mars you're going to be an evil little girl."

"Not only that was disgusting but also very truth, I still remember that bong you put in my locker, good idea but really evil."

"What can I say, I was born that way, I just hide if for years. Now I don't hide it, it helps me to scare your friends."

"I'm so proud of you!" he said taking her in his arms again. "Do you think you're going to be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll just lie low for a moment and then he'll get off my back"

"But if he ever asks you who you were with, tell him and if he wants to kill me afterwards it's okay. I don't want you to get in trouble with your father because of me."

"It's going to be okay." She said kissing him on the lips before jumping off the sink. Logan watched her leave the bathroom, he smiled at himself before doing the same thing, after having made sure no one was around.
