Slippery Dip: I have no idea how many chapters this story will be. Honestly, I didn't know I'd get this far. Lol I didn't think I'd get past the 1st chapter. But everyone had been so great. I don't know how many chapters there will be, because I write this story chapter to chapter. Lol so I made a list of goals I want to write about. So when I get to the end of my goals, then that might be the end of my story. But don't worry, I don't think that will be anytime soon.

------------------------------------
What the hell is going on here? Why is Veronica here at Logan's house? And why are they both in towels?
"This isn't what it looks like." Veronica says looking at me.
"It looks like you're both in towels." I say looking from Veronica to Logan and back again.
"Ok, so it's what it looks like." Logan decides to say.
"Logan don't be an idiot." Veronica throws him a warning look. Logan just shrugs.
"What the hell is going on between you two?" I decide to say while looking at Veronica, and I give her an accusing look. "I thought we were going to Prom together. Doesn't that make you MY girlfriend?"
Logan turns to Veronica. He's pissed. And starts yelling.
"YOU'RE WHAT! YOU'RE GOING TO THE PROM WITH HIM? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MY DATE!" He turns to me and continues yelling.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN GIRLFRIEND? YOU TWO HAVE BEEN DONE NOW FOR OVER A YEAR! IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON BEHIND MY BACK!"
With that last sentence, Logan turns to Veronica.
She looks like a deer caught in the headlights, not knowing who to look at, or who to talk to first. Finally, she gets a look of determination on her face, and turns to me.
"I thought we talked about this before. I never agreed to going to Prom with you. You keep assuming were going together. But get this through your head Duncan, There IS no you and me." She points between herself and me as she says that last part.
"Why are you denying me? I thought you love me. WE were the ones dating. WE made love together. Why are you doing this to me? We have a chance to start over. To go back to the way things were."
"I did love you. You were the best thing that ever happened to me. But Duncan, you broke my heart! One day you just decided to break up with me with no warning! I was devastated! You went from one day being my boyfriend, to the next day ignoring me! As for having sex with you that night, I was drugged. I had no idea what happened. I went for a year not knowing who raped me. At least I thought it was rape! But Duncan, nothing can go back to the way they were. I've learned that. Nothing can be the same. Lily's dead! My mother's gone, my father isn't the sheriff, and you and I aren't together!" Veronica's crying now. "Things have changed now. They can NEVER go back to the way they were. You can't make me do it! I refuse too!"
As I'm about to say something, Logan interrupts. "Duncan I don't even know who you are anymore. Maybe I haven't known for a long time. But ever since I found out you were on Medication, I've noticed how you've changed. You're an empty shell wandering around all the time. You have mood swings, and now, you don't seem to care about anyone but yourself. You guys are over with. Veronica has moved on. She may have loved you, but you ruined that when you walked away. You have no say anymore. And she's made it perfectly clear that she isn't going to Prom with you, so if you could do me a favor and leave now." Logan points at the door.
I look at Veronica, who is sniffling now, wiping away her tear, to Logan with the stone look on his face while pointing at the door.
"Fine. I'll leave, but we have some unfinished business left." With that I turned around and let myself out the door.
--------------------------------------------
"Are you ok?"
"Huh? Oh, yea I'm fine. I'm gonna go get changed now." Veronica walks into Logan's bedroom to change.
That was unexpected. I can't believe Duncan showed up like that. I mean I yelled at him for not caring about his best friend, but I didn't expect to see him now. Well what I said, I meant. I am over Duncan. He isn't the most important thing to me anymore. I mean I have dated other people since him. And I do love Logan. I never thought that would happen. Especially after how he treated me when Lily died. Thing's change. No matter how much I say it now, it's true. I never would have thought this is how my life would turn out. So different from how I wanted it to be.
After Veronica got changed, and brushed her hair, she walked back out to Logan who was sitting on the couch watching TV. He gets up, and lightly brushes her arm as we walks by into his room to change. When he comes back out, he sits back down on the couch and she sit down next to him, and he put his arm around her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his waist and cuddled with him.
They stayed like that for a few hours, not really watching anything. Just enjoying the comfort of having someone there. Finally Logan's stomach starts to growl. Veronica laughs, and looking at the clock, sees that it's 7:00. So they get up and raid the refrigerator.
-------------------------------------
That night as I lay awake watching Veronica sleep, I can't help but think of everything we've been through, and what's to come. There was still my father's trial. What am I going to do about that? I have no idea. Maybe I should go so I can see him burn in hell. He ruined everything and he deserves to suffer. Then there's Duncan. I can't believe he showed up like that. Out of nowhere. Maybe he really does have a condition. Or maybe it's the drugs making him act the way he does. I sure as hell hope it's the drugs. The old Duncan would never act this way.
She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. I start to drift off to sleep, when she kicks me.
"What the hell?" I mumble. "Why'd you kick me?" I look over at her, and see she's moving around. Hmm, must be having a nightmare. I frown. Bet I can think of what she's dreaming about. I watch as she tosses and turns in her sleep. She's mumbling too. I go to lean in closer.
"NOO! PLEASE! LET ME OUT! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! LET ME OUT!" She bolts up screaming.
I jump back in surprise and end up falling off the bed. Crap! That hurt my ribs! When I finally manage to sit up, I lean on the bed and she's looking around the room panting. I get up and sit back down on the bed. She looks at me, and I can see the tears in her eyes. I take her in my arms, and I gently rock her back and forth. Whispering things in her ear. Telling her it's ok, and that she's safe. No one is gonna hurt her. She's crying in my arms, and my heart breaks. Knowing my father did this to her. To me. To everyone.
RING RING RING
Veronica looks at the night table and sees that it's her cell phone ringing. She reaches for it, and answers it groggily.
"Hello?"
"VERONICA MARS WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"
"Dad? That you?"
"No, it's the person behind you." Veronica looks behind her. "Of course it's me! I've been calling you all day and all night. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?"
"Uhh."
"Don't you uhh me young lady. I know you haven't been home. I've been calling there too. And I know you're not with the Fennels. You're with Logan aren't you?"
"Dad I can explain."
"Dammit Veronica, I thought we talked about this. I thought I told you to stay away from him. I thought you guys were through. What happened?"
"Things changed dad. We talked about everything."
"I never thought I'd say this Veronica, but you broke a promise. You promised me you would do something for me, and you let me down. I'm disappointed in you."
"OMG THE PAPER WORK! I completely forgot!" Veronica smacks herself on the forehead.
Keith sighs into the phone. "We'll talk about this tomorrow. I love you."
"I love you too dad."
CLICK
Veronica takes the phone away from her ear, and after turning it off, she just stares at the phone.
"I guess your dad was mad huh. Doesn't want you hanging out with me anymore."
"Yea he's mad. He's never been mad at me before. I've never heard him like this. I hope things will be better tomorrow."
"They will. Don't worry about it tonight. Let's get some sleep.
