They walked over to their lockers after school, all in clear sight of one another. Logan and Veronica took each others hands as they left the hallway and made their way to the busy parking lot. Duncan had missed Rachel he couldn't find her anywhere finally giving up he got into his SUV and pulled out of the school. He made his way down a side street and noticed his girl walking down the sidewalk alone. He pulled the car next to her in a crawl and rolled down the window.
"Need a ride little girl?" he said raising his eyebrows.
"Momma always said never talk to strangers" she said without missing a beat.
"I have candy and puppies in the back" he said with a chuckle.
"That's what they all say." She said a smile growing on her face. She was still walking and he was still moving along with her.
"Come on I will take you to your place" he said trying not to use the word 'home' he wasn't sure if she would respond well to that.
She stopped and looked at him then she relented and crossed in front of the car to the passenger's side and climbed in. She leaned forward and gave him a nice long kiss. He loved the way she kissed, the way she felt against him. The way he felt with her.
They made their way down the street, and he could see her get really nervous she was hiding something from her. He knew the look she had, he had, had the same look many times before with veronica the 'I need to tell you the truth' look.
She pointed for him to turn into a parking lot and he realized where they were, they were at the scummy Camelot Motel. He was confused what were they doing there? She got out of the car and moved toward the stairs. He followed behind and froze when he saw her pull out the key of a room. She opened the door and let him in, the room was cluttered with boxes and clothes, and then everything set in.
"I lied, I didn't want you to be upset, and you just caught me off guard." She said about their earlier conversation. "If you knew I was living here, you would make me go back to Poway and I can't go back." She said a tear slipping down her cheek.
"How could you lie to me" he said looking around the room. "Why are you here? Really" he said anger in his voice, "I mean it is not for me."
"I am here because I want to be, I just couldn't stay there, there we just too many memories." She said trying to grab his hands. He just backed away. He was upset, the girl whom he was just starting to fall for lied to him and continued to lie to him. He grew up listening to people, cover up the truth and blaming that it was to 'protect' him, he couldn't have her do it to him too.
"I need to think" he said more to the ground then her. "I will see you later" he said leaving the crappy hotel room, leaving her.
She just sat down and cried, how could she be so stupid why did she lie to him, she could tell him the truth, about who she is, what she has done, what has been done to her. He had told her everything about the past year, every detail and she had taken it all in. But she couldn't do the same, she was afraid of what he would think…of her.
A couple hours later she got a hold of Veronica, "Hey Ron, can you give me a ride to the party tonight."
"first of all where the hell did you get Ron secondly why do you want to go to a 09er party." Asked a disheveled Veronica.
"Well I heard Logan call you Ronnie so I shortened that to Ron, also I have a plan and trust me you will want to be there." She said a hint of evil in her tone.
"Fine I will pick you up in twenty, where are you?" she asked,
"Just pick me up at the ampm on the corner I have to get some things."
"Ok be there soon."
She picked her up and made their way to the party, they entered the mansion and all eyes were on the surprise crashers. They took their places screening the crowd for a friendly face then Veronica spotted Logan. He walked over three drinks in hand and they each took one. "Have you seen Duncan" Yelled Rachel over the almost deafening loud music.
"Yeah" said Logan a little upset then pointed over Rachel's shoulder she turned around and saw Duncan leaning against the wall, a beer in one hand and a girl in the other. Was that Madison? She thought, her hands were rubbing his chest as she talked to him. His hand was on her hip and he looked bored out of him mind.
A friendly voice shocked her out of her trance and she saw Steven in front of her. He smiled and said "You made it, awesome you want to dance" he was obviously drunk.
Perfect she thought to herself as she took his arm and moved them into the living room which had been transformed into a makeshift dance floor. She began to move her hips slowly to the music of "Oh" by ciara. Then she could hear Madison laugh she looked over and saw them looking at her. "She cant even dance" she said in between laughs, Logan winced knowing what was going to happen next. He knew how good of a dancer Rachel really was and how good of an actress what ever Duncan did or said to her she was about to retaliate on a much bigger level.
Just then Rachel's hip popped and she bent over slowly rubbing her butt across Steven's pelvis. She rotated circles and continued to rub against him resting her head on the front of his shoulder and placing his hands on her hips. They continued this a little until Rachel could feel something yank at her arm, she turned to see it was Duncan.
"What the hell are you doing?" he said anger rushing through him.
"Dancing, what it matters to you, aren't you busy with your perfect little brunette over there. She seems really special, I hope you make each other blissfully happy" she retorted storming off. Just then she was stopped close to the entrance by two police officers, she talked of a moment before then pointed out dick. They made their way over and started arresting him.
"What the hell man." Dick said when the officers pulled his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Casablancas you are under arrest" said one of the officers while slapping on some cuffs.
"For what?" Dick screamed.
"For not getting the party started" said the other officers stripping off his shirt while signaling for the DJ to play "Relax" over the speakers.
The other started stripping as well while the kids of the party started hooting and hollering. "Now we heard you have been a bad little Birthday Boy, and you need to be cleaned up" said the first cop, slowly ripping open Dicks Shirt. He was in complete terror, he didn't know what to do, he could hear the people laughing, but it wasn't until he heard the click of a camera before he completely lost it.
"Get the Fuck away from me God Dammit, I don't like guys now get me out of these handcuffs or I will make sure you are thrown in jail." Dick yelled.
The two Officers looked at each other then slowly replaced their clothes and removed the cuffs. People were still laughing. The strippers made their way over to Rachel and said loud enough so everyone could hear. "I thought you said he liked guys."
"I thought he did" she said pointing to her chin. "huh" she shrugged. Here you go she said as she handed the two men a couple hundred each, and they left the now silent party.
Everyone stared at her in complete shock, including Duncan, Logan Veronica and Dick, how could something so evil come out of such a innocent and kind person. Rachel seized this attention making her way through the crowd. She moved up to Duncan and wrapped her arms around his neck. She dipped in and gave him a long and seductive kiss right in front of Madison. Then just as loud as before she said "Happy two month anniversary baby, and pulled out a box from her bag, in it was a watch with a custom face, a picture of the two of them taken a couple weeks earlier. Everyone gasped, how did they not know? It was a lot like Logan's surprise party, including a pissed and mocking Dick.
"Wait you have been fucking his fat piece of trash for two months" Duncan looked like he was going to punch Dick but someone beat him to it. Dick laid on the floor tugging at his sore jaw. "You Bitch!" he sneered.
Everyone again looked shocked at the angry redhead now pulling her hand back to her chest and lightly shook the pain away. Duncan pulled it up to his face and kissed it gently "are you ok" he said.
"O please Dick is such a pansy" she said looking at the weak Dick on the ground. She looked back at a sad Duncan and said "I am so sorry I should never have lied to you."
"Your right, but you also came clean and told me yourself and that is all that matters, We all have secrets I just want you to feel free to tell me yours." He said looking into her soul.
"I will, in time" she said.
She glanced around realizing how quiet everything and everyone was and saw the whole party watching them. "I think they know about us" said Rachel is a fake whisper so everyone could hear.
"Good" he replied dipping in for another kiss.
I hope you loved it!
