Logan walked out to his jeep, he felt bad like he had a huge burden placed on his shoulders. He knew the only way to remove it was to tell Meg and Dick about what he saw, but could he really do it? Did he want to be the cause of many broken hearts?
He knew that the gods were playing a trick on him, bowing their heads "he tortured Veronica for a year because she told, lets do the same to him" he could hear them saying.
He walked into the parking lot just in time to see Dick grabbing Cat from the front seat of her car and slam her against it in rage.
"What the hell" she grabbed the back of her head now throbbing in pain from its contact with the side of the car.
"So how long?" he sneered anger melting his once love-filled features into an expression of complete anger and betrayal.
"How long what?" she asked confused.
"How long have you been cheating on me with my best friend?" he asked, she sunk against the car in shock.
"How….who….Dick I…" she couldn't form a complete sentence she stood gaping in shock. She looked over his shoulder trying to avoid his gaze and saw Duncan and Meg arguing across the court yard.
"Next time you decide to whore yourself out, maybe you should choose a better hiding place then the bathroom" he spat in disgust, looking at her as if she was dirt.
He spun around and she reached up to grab his arm, he jerked back and smacked her hand away. "Dick.." she pleaded with tears streaming down her face.
"Fuck you" he yelled turning back to the school and making his way inside, leaving her scolded, distraught and confused.
She slumped against her car panting heavily trying to regain the control of her breath she had been holding the whole time. The knot in her stomach was gone, now replaced with more feelings, guilt, depression, and curiosity. Who would do this? Who would tell about me and Duncan?
She began to sob again realizing that it was over, her relationship, her spot as a 09er, her friends, her allies everything was ruined. She had nothing.
An arm wrapped around her waist pulling her up into his strong embrace. He rubbed her back in slow full circles.
"Its going to be alright" Logan said with a low reassuring voice.
"Its gone, all of it" he said in between sobs.
"No it isn't, I saw what you two have, no matter what, you have Duncan" he said.
She looked up at him in shock she just realized who had told, who had ruined her life,
"It was you!"
"What?" he asked.
"You're the one who told?" she asked breathlessly as if she was looking at a ghost.
"No, I just knew….I haven't told a soul I swear" he said hoping his eyes were showing the true extent of his sincerity.
"Then who would?" she asked pulling her head back into his chest sobbing again.
"Baby" They turned around to see Duncan walking up extending his arms out to her. She walked away from Logan and threw her small frame into Duncan's waiting embrace. He pulled her hair out of her face and kissed her hair, rocking her slightly the way you would comfort a child. And the way she felt so small, fragile, she resembled a child. "I am so sorry baby" he cooed into her hair.
She looked up at him confused, until it dawned on her. She looked back at Logan and gave him an apologetic smile. "I am sorry I accused you Logan" she said softly.
"Its okay, I'm used to it" he said faintly knowing they would not understand what he meant by it. She just nodded her head taking in his forgiveness before turning back to Duncan.
"What do we do now?" she asked still clutching onto his like a life line.
"I don't know, but I just couldn't keep doing it… I love you too much to not be with you" he said giving her a kiss.
"This is doomed from the beginning, you do know that don't you" she said avoiding his gaze.
"Baby don't say that, we will get through this, they will understand eventually" he said trying to comfort her. It must have been working because she stopped crying and just looked into his eyes, like they would hold all the answers.
"Common you guys, school waits…..and we need to show off the new couple." Logan piped, "The only way to get through anything is to face the challenges head on." He said placing his hands on their shoulders and leading them to school.
"Why are you so happy about us, I mean aren't you mad we have been lying to you" Cat asked confused, she thought the immediate response from people would be anger, this she was not expecting.
"Lets just say I have learned that if you love something enough, no matter what happens you need to do whatever you can to keep it" he said thinking about his other life, and how he now has his Veronica back.
They walked toward the school and could already hear the whispers and rumors circulating around to each person they walked past. Veronica walked up and joined hands with Logan; she then looked at her brother and gave a encouraging smile.
"You're not mad?" Duncan asked.
"Yes, I love Meg and Dick….but….I don't know you two together just looks right" she said. "I mean you look happier together now then I think I have seen you in the past year" she added snuggling closer to Logan as she spoke.
They just nodded and smiled, "Thank you guys" Cat said as they walked away to their classes. Logan and Veronica stopped by her locker and Logan had a smile on his face.
"What?" she asked
"When did you become the romance guru?" he asked with a chuckle.
"When I learned what true happiness feels like" she said giving him a long kiss. "When I met you" she giggled repeating the action. He pulled her closer deepening the kiss.
The knot in his stomach magically disappeared, now all that came next was the rest of the schools reaction.
