You have to thank Kristen Bell for this chapter. I met her while she was in Paris with the whole cast of Burlesque despite the cold lol. She was awesome and it made me love and appreciate her more as an actress and as a human being who is close to her fans, like Cam Gigandet, unlike some people...

Chapter 37

"Ronnie!"

"Logie!"

"I hate it when you call me Ronnie."

"I know but Logie kind of sucks, I don't want you to call me like that, people will make fun of me."

"Okay, no more Logie then but don't worry I'll find a new nickname for you."

"If you want, do you want to come over after school?" Logan asked her.

"I can't, I'm meeting dad at the police station, maybe after."

"That would be great, I really need someone to cheer me up."

"Why? What's going on?"

"Aaron, he says he wants to see me, something about publicity and how bad it would be for his image if he didn't fight for me."

"I'm really sorry Logan, I've been so caught in my own drama that I didn't even think about you and what's happening between your parents. I really suck, I'm so sorry for being so self centered."

"You don't suck, I'm not the only who's got problems and let's be honest yours are worse than mine. You're the greatest girlfriend a guy could ask for and I wouldn't change for anything and I don't talk about my problems because I'm being a supportive boyfriend." Logan axplained with a small smile, as he hugged Veronica, keeping his arm around her shoulders.

"What about me not being a supportive girlfriend?"

"You can be all supportive as you want as soon as things get better in your life, right now I don't really need you to be supportive, I'm doing good and I'm happy."

"Do you want to come to the police station with me?"

"Wow! That's the most romantic thing ever!" Logan said sarcastically, Veronica hit him on the arm laughing. This time he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "Of course, anything to spend time with you."

"Thank you, I promise to make it up."

"Dirty! That sounds so dirty when you say it."

"You're the dirty one in our couple." She said laughing.

"Why do you think he came into Lilly's room?" Veronica asked Logan, getting into his car.

"Maybe he came to steal something, Lilly never made it a secret that she had money and jewels in her room."

"Yes, but she's been dead for fourteen months, why wait that long? If he really wanted something, he would have come sooner, he's hiding something and I want to know what."

"What are you going to do?"

"Search in her room, trying to find what he was looking for, I know there's something he isn't telling us."

"What do you think he's hiding."

"I don't know but I'm going to find out, Lilly was seeing someone before her death…"

"Please tell me you aren't thinking to what I think you're thinking."

"Complicated sentence, but maybe."

"Do you really think that a girl like Lilly could have dated a guy like Weevil, he's a biker." He said as if it explained everything, a biker could not date a girl like Lilly Kane.

"I don't know, maybe."

"Come one Veronica be serious, Lilly dated Conor Larkin, do you really think that a girl who dated Connor Larking would date Eli Navarro?"

"She could have dated him to annoy Celeste, or something."

"I don't know Ronnie, this seems kind of weird and complicated."

"I know, listen Logan, I promised you not to investigate or anything and that's what I did, but now I need to know what happened. If Weevil hadn't showed up in her room last night I wouldn't be investigating."

"I know." Logan said softly leaning over to hug her. "How about going to Aaron's house?"

"What the hell are you talking about? One moment we're talking about Lilly and the next one about Aaron, do you know how weird you're."

"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I need to go to Aaron's house to get some of my stuff back."

"And you need my help for that?"

"You know what, forget it, we should just go back to the Grand and watch a movie unless you want to go to Jake's."

"How about taking me home, I can't avoid it forever, it's not her house and I can't let her turn my life upside down."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah and I need to get some clothes and books."

"Okay, but we aren't staying there longer than necessary."

"Like I would want to spend time with her."

"You can get yourself a drink while I pack some of my clothes, you know where's the fridge

"Okay, do you want something?"

"A bottle of water please."

"Okay." Veronica kissed Logan softly before going into her room and pulling some clothes out of her closet, she then moved towards her bookshelf and took some books, replacing them by others.

"Your drink Ms Mars." Logan said handing her her bottle of water. She smiled before opening her bottle. "Are you done?"

"Yeah, just need to find my denim skirt." She replied before taking a long sip of water, but as soon as she did, she spat it. She ran out of her room, towards the bathroom where he found her drinking water, he watched her puzzled, didn't he just give her a bottle of water?

"Veronica what's going on?"

"Vodka, there's vodka in this bottle not water. She's still drinking, she lied to us, did she even go to rehab? After all we just dropped her there and didn't even check on her." Veronica said, obviously angry.

"Do you want me to call them?"

"Yes."

Lianne walked into the apartment, carrying several bags, she set them on the bar, noticing several suitcase near the door. She looked up and saw her daughter sitting on the couch with her boyfriend.

"What's going on?"

"You're leaving."

"Excuse me?" Lianne asked, not understanding.

"You're leaving, I had the bad idea of drinking one of your bottle of water, we called the rehab center and looked around the apartment and found several bottles. You're still an alcoholic, I don't want you here so you're leaving. I've tried to help you, but alcoholics like you can't be helped unless they really want it. You have two hours to leave." Veronica said getting up, she took Logan's hand and was about to walk out of the room but stopped when she heard her mother's voice.

"So you're becoming one of them, I knew being Jake Kane's daughter would change you, look at you, driving a Mercedes convertible, dating a rich guy, spending time with Jake and Duncan, having everything handed to you."

"You're wrong, I'm still the same girl and I've been with Logan for more than 2 years. As for the car, I refused it but Jake is as stubborn as me, now you'd better leave, I don't want you here when I come back." She said coldly, she turned to Logan and told him. "Let's go."
