Chapter 12: outbursts & violent meeting
Miss James eyed the two young people closely as they positioned themselves in front of her on the two spare chairs in her little office.
Logan Echolls looked exasperated and ready for a fight. His eyes shone with a will for combat, that she'd never noticed in him during their earlier encounters.
Veronica Mars looked somewhat different as well. Upon her face was a smirk that in more ways then one reminded the counsellor of said Echolls boy.
Her bluish eyes seemed to radiate mischievousness and yet Miss James saw vulnerability in them that she'd never –ever- seen in the little blonde girl before – not even when Miss James herself had been going out with Keith Mars.
"Well, lets get on with it", Miss James decided inwardly and cleared her throat before stating with more confidence then she really felt:
"So you two. I've called you in to discuss the matter of your…involvement in each other. And the repercussions your little arguments have on your fellow student body."
Instantly Veronica's uncharacteristic smirk developed a hint of evilness and Logan took in a deep breath, as though preparing for battle.
"Before I get up and leave this unbelievable little meeting of ours and threaten you to never suggest them again, tell me why you think you need to know the details of this particularly subject…miss James." Logan Echolls said while tilting his head in a most familiar way.
Rebecca James sighed and thought to herself yet again:" Yeah, why is it I chose to single them out like this?"
Out loud the pretty brunette simply leaned back feigning confidence and answered calmly:
"Well, Mr. Echolls: You and ms. Mars have been through a lot over the years since the loss of Lilly Kane and some…unexpected things happened as a result of that…" her dark eyes wandered to Logan Echolls, and inside herself Rebecca wondered, why Veronica was the one who looked guilty at that statement and continued:
"To make a very long story short I loved how your relationship grew into something more and hate how the ending of it caused a remake of your ill fated affections towards one another and please tell me why you…"
Suddenly a burst of something erupted in Rebecca James and through her lips came a sentence she did not anticipate:" …Veronica was so idiotic to rekindle your little fairy tale romance with boring Donut? And you Logan by the love of Gucci why did you get together with Hannah?"
Rebecca shook her head, refocused and froze by the sight of her two students.
Logan looked like he was about to make her pay for every little word and Veronica looked more violent oriented, like she wanted to take her chair and throw it through the window.
In the deafening silence Rebecca could have sworn she heard Logan hiss maliciously out in the air:" Lilly, I'm gonna kill you all over if you don't shut up."
Rebecca sighed loudly and tried to understand what had just happened.
"What did I say? Are they gonna sue me now?"
Then the counsellor sighed again as the silence grew and decided to end the meeting before something else got out of hand, but just as she straightened up to leave her stair Veronica Mars quickly glanced at Logan and asked her in a inquisitory tone of voice:
"So Miss James. All weird things aside – what would you do if… lets go with an easy one here and say your spouse deliberately pushed you aside and accidentally found you in bed with another person and then refused to believe your innocence? Cause I saw this movie and it got me thinking…"
Rebecca blinked and gasped shortly after, due to Logan's quick stance and his angry and unfamiliar emotion filled reply:
"You're so full it – that's not what happened and you damn well know it!"
Then he shockingly slapped Veronica across the face and left banging the doors after him and left a red cheeked blonde trying to convince a frantic school counsellor not to call the police to get the rich boy arrested.
Veronica stomped out of the office absolutely fuming with rage and oddly enough disappointment.
"I really thought he would end this little trip of ours by finally admitting to his guilt – I hate him lying about it over and over again!"
Suddenly Veronica stood by the Le Baron and without pausing she hopped in and jumpstarted the vehicle and drove away.
An olive skinned teen watched one of his enemies leave school property in a car, that didn't belong to him and wondered. Then he saw his …nah, well, friend run out to the parking lot with a significant red mark on her pale cheek and he put two and two together and exploded.
"Yo V," he called out to his friend to check on her, but she didn't even notice him – besides her other friend the flag pole guy (which he'd forever be known in his mind) Wallace had already gone up to her and was talking quietly to her.
"Well, no 09'er kid is going to hurt my friends…" the rough looking boy stated and walked over to his very old and rusty car – wishing his old gang hadn't taken his beloved bike on the night of his fall from power – and drove after "Logan".
And that's how Veronica soon discovered a whole other side of her old friend Eli "Weevil" Navarro!
Logan kept cursing himself as he talked miss James into some kind of peace, ran outside and caught a glimpse of his tempered wife driving away and ending up getting cornered by her best friend.
Wallace Freaking Annoying Fennel.
"Veronica what happened to you, you didn't go to class and…what's that on your cheek?"
His voice developed a darker tone, which convinced Logan once and for all that Wallace never really stayed with Veronica because of her cutting him down from the infamous flagpole on his first day, nope he really loved his best friend.
"And that's why you have to treat him nicely, young man."
Logan sighed inwardly and cursed a bit more when his mother's stern voice echoed through his mind – promising severe pain if he didn't do as ordered.
"Look Wallace, I just ran into …er…a door and however pathetic it sounds, I'd appreciate handling it on my own, okay? Just use your …er…BFF skills and trust me on this one, please."
Wallace seemed like he'd never heard a lamer excuse, but to Logan's luck his loyalty to the little blonde was unbreakable and he sighed:
"Veronica just tell me if you're in some kind of trouble, 'cause I'm so game for another round of bad guy, okay?"
Then Wallace leaned in and hugged Logan, who just stood there completely dumbfounded.
"No one in my life besides Veronica has ever just hugged me. Odd."
Then the embrace ended and Wallace gently touched the sore spot on "Veronica's" cheek and said quietly:
"I was actually looking for you to give you this."
Wallace handed a yellow piece of paper with Veronicas name on it towards him and Logan took it.
"Thanks, I'm just gonna go see if I can catch Mac and make her give me a ride home. See ya, ok?"
Wallace nodded and left, obviously thinking his, but keeping it to himself like promised.
Logan waited for him to disappear out of sight and then quickly opened the letter and therefore didn't hear Weevil driving away just as fast as Veronica had done five minutes earlier.
My dearest Veronica
I know you'll probably hate me forever for this. But I just discovered that the Mannings tried to force Meg to give little Lily up for adoption for some horrid place without even telling me and I just couldn't allow that. She's my child too and I already love her more then I thought possible.
With that said, I have to tell you that I love you so much that sometimes I lay awake at night thinking about you, us…
Logan actually snorted at that statement, he remembered Duncan's sleeping behaviour quite clearly and not even Lilly and him having loud sex right next to the male Kane Heir once could wake him up, so Logan definitely doubted that piece of information.
Sighing he dug right back into the love declaration:
…I've loved you since I saw you and I'll love you forever and ever. Please forgive me for leaving, but I swear I'll return when the Mannings( and mum) cancel the charges they undoubtedly will press against me and I trust you to keep being true to us.
Remember, my darling, True love stories never have endings…
With my undying love
Duncan
Logan relaxed his tensed shoulders and actually let out a laugh, which caused a tall blonde, he vaguely recognized as Caitlin Ford, to look at him as though he was an escaped convict from a mental institution.
"Damn," he thought," here I always figured that they had some kind of epic love on their own, but Duncan's just so…childlike compared to her. Well, this little repeat of history is good for one thing though; no more kisses."
Caught up in his little gloating moment as Logan was, it took three coughs from his dead mother to gain his attention; well that and a very hard stomp to the ground too…
"Dear son of mine - fruit of my loins ," Lynne said icingly as she locked eyes with Logan," don't you think your attentions should be guided towards something or someone else right now? Since Lilly's little screw up there's been…"
"Hey, I didn't screw up Mrs. Echolls!"
Suddenly Logan caught sight of his dead lover for the first time in over fifteen years.
At the sight of shock and the dropped jar on Logan's face Lilly quickly turned her head and nodded at him, before returning her accusing glare at his mother:
"Hi Logan your tounsels are showing…Look I miscalculated the whole incident, which by the way was your idea, remember Mrs. high and mighty?!"
Lynne muttered a profanity and gripped the outspoken – and a bit too honest – Kane girl and said to Logan before disappearing into thin air:
"Just go after your wife and fix this whole mess, before it's too late!"
In the meantime Veronica had reached her destination.
The beach.
She got out of the car and walked out in the warm sand while she longed for her dog and their long walks.
The ocean greeted her ears with its special sound and some peace fell upon the troubled woman.
Veronica sat down and looked out over the waves and was contemplating certain things of her confusing future.
"Did I push him away? But what happened before her wasn't pushing away, just a need for solitude. I thought he understood that…"
So deep in thought Veronica didn't notice the shadow fall over her.
But she did notice the deep and slightly threatening voice say:
"My oh My, what's a little filthy rich boy doing in my friend's car?"
Veronica sighed and looked up at the figure she already knew was Weevil and said with a smirk, which would have made its true inventor happy:
"Trust me on this one Weev, Veronica wont mind me using her car."
Weevil returned with evilness in his own smirk, he then shrugged and then he attacked!
A/N: Hello again;) First of all, thank you soooo much for your good wishes for my uncle, he just returned from the hospital today and things are looking a bit brighter;)
