Chapter 11

"How's school?" Veronica asked Logan, while they were waiting for their pizzas at their table. She was sitting next to him almost on his lap.

"Good, people miss you."

"I don't believe you."

"Well, I should have said Meg, Duncan, and Mac miss you."

"This time I believe you." She said with a smile. "I miss them too."

"Why don't you come back to Neptune, next weekend? I'd love to spend time with you, you could see all your friends, your father and me."

"I'll think about it."

"Yes!" he said happily. Veronica looked at him strangely, surprised by his reaction.

"I haven't said yes, just that I would think about it."

"But you didn't say no, which is already a good thing. I was afraid you would say no without even thinking about it. I love you Veronica and I want to have you back in Neptune, that is our hometown and we grew up there. Why don't you…"

"Veronica Mars!" someone said from behind them. When Veronica saw who it was, she hid her face in his shirt and murmured something about how much she hated the girl and didn't want to see her. "I knew it was you, but the girls didn't believe me! Who's your friend?"

"I'm Logan Echolls, her boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? I didn't know she had one, ever since she moved here, we always saw her alone or hanging out with Wallace."

"I don't live here. Veronica and I started dating before she moved here."

"Logan Echolls?" another girl said. "You are Aaron Echolls' son! I saw a picture of you with your mother in People last week, where did you meet?"

"Excuse me! I'm trying to spend some alone time with my boyfriend while he is town, so could you leave us alone?" Veronica said, knowing how much Logan hated it when people talked about his father; asking questions that always lead to money. He smiled when he saw the girls send glares in Veronica's direction before leaving.

"They are going to hate you for that."

"I don't care since school is almost over. Only one more month left of school before they let us out for summer."

"I can't wait!!! You are coming back to Neptune for summer, aren't you?"

"Of course, as much as I love my aunt, I miss Neptune and I want to go back for the summer. There are some things I need to clear and find Lilly's killer."

"What? No! You aren't going to do anything about it, let the police do their job and find the real killer…."

"Yeah, but you're forgetting something, Lilly's case is considered solved and closed. They aren't going to look for a killer when they have sent one to prison for life. Lamb will not do anything about it. I know Lilly didn't sleep with him, the guy was set up."

"Veronica, if you are right the killer is still free and he could kill you too, Veronica I can't lose you! It would kill me if I lost you again, don't do it Ronnie, let someone else take care of it, not you, you are only 17."

"Logan, Lilly was not only my best friend, she was my sister, you have to understand me. I can't let the killer get away with what he did to her. He took her away for ever."

"I understand, but I'm afraid to lose you and this time you won't come back. Why don't you let your father take care of it? He knows what to do, he was a cop, but if you want to do it, I want you to promise me to tell me everything and let me help you."

"I promise to tell you everything and get you involved in what I do, but you have to promise me never to tell Duncan about it. He doesn't know what I'm doing; I want to be the one who breaks the news to him, and the same thing about us."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want him to know about us." She said softly, she closed her eyes and counted to ten, waiting for him to yell. When he didn't, she opened her eyes and looked at him. "You aren't yelling."

"No, I'm not."

"Why not?"

"Because I understand that you don't want him to know we're back together yet; last time, he hit me and he didn't talk to me for weeks. I do want to tell him in a few weeks and I want you to be present when it happens, just in case he decides to hit me again." He said with a smile, even thought she could see he was afraid to lose his best friend, because Duncan never supported their relationship. If it had been up to him, they would have never dated; he didn't really trust Logan and he had made this clear on several occasions.

"You won't lose him just because we're back together. I'll talk to him if I have to, so stop worrying over something that might never happen."

"Easy for you to say, he is your brother so you'll never lose him, whereas me he's only my friend..."

"Your best friend, Logan. Let's not talk about it and just enjoy our meal, okay?"

"Okay."

"So, what's going to happen now?" Logan asked Veronica as they walked down the beach holding hands.

"I don't know. We have a lot of things to work out before we can go back to where we were before Lilly's death. It's going to take us some time, making out is fun and we love each other but we still have problems that need to be solved."

"I know, but I had put them in the back of my mind." He said with a sad smile. "I was hoping they would never come up again and that we could try to build a new relationship without mentioning it."

"We can't do that as much as you'd like to because if we do, then this new relation would fail. We need to talk about it and see what we did wrong to avoid making the same mistakes."

"You're right but it would have been cool."

"Yeah." She said with a smile. "But I have to learn to trust you again, it will take some time to trust you, as much as I used to."

"You don't trust me, do you?"

"Not really."
