The next morning...
Veronica woke up next to Logan. She looked over at his sleeping face.
'God, hes hot even when he sleeps' she thought
He woke up and smiled. He was happy she was living with him but was sad, due to the circumstances. They stared at each other for a few seconds and Veronica gave him a peck on the cheek. She rose from under the covers and headed to the bathroom. Logan rolled out of bed and headed downstairs.
Mrs. Navarro was making eggs, bacon, sausageand toast.
"Good morning, Mr. Eccholls." she chirped with a thick Spanish accent. "Is Ms. Mars joining you?"
After Mrs.Navarro said Veronica's name, Logan heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Speak of the devil." he said and ran up to giveVeronica a kiss. He picked her up and swung her onto the couch. He then began tickling her sides.
"Logan! Stop that!" she said while laughing. He stopped and she slid out from under him. she headed into the kitchen, which smelt thick with bacon and sausage.
"Good morning Mrs. Navarro." Veronica said to the housekeeper.
"Why good morning Veronica" she replied."I heard about your father. My condelences. Eli sends his as well"
"Thank you" Veronica said, staring at the tile floor, thinking of what had happened during the last few days. She walked across the floor, opened up the cabinet, took out a glassand went to the fridge. She opened it up and took out some OJ and poured herself a glass. She headed over to Logan on the couch, who was watching the morning news.
"Last night as a Miss Veronica Mars was leaving the Kane estate, movie star Aaron Eccholls hid in her car. It turns out, Ms. Mars had tapes of Aaron and the late Lilly Kane in bed together. He attacked her and Ms.Mars crashedher car into a tree. She escaped but Mr.Eccholls became concious and tried to set her on fire. She was rescue by her father, Keith Mars the outstead sherriff who accused Kane billionaire Jake Kane of murdering his own daughter. In this rescue attempt, Mr.Mars was severly burned and is currently in the hospital being treated for 3rd degree burns. More on the fiveo'clock news"
Logan continued watching but then noticed Veronica next to him. There were tears sliding down her cheeks. He wiped them away with his thumb and said,
"Its over now, its all over" Veronicasettled her headonto his chest and began to sob quietly. She didn't stop until Mrs. Navarro cried,
"Breakfast is ready!"
Later that day...
Veronica and Logan walked hand and hand on their way to the newspaper room. He held her tightly at the waist showing the rest of Neptune High that she was his. They got dirty looks from MadisonSinclair, Dick Casablancas andthe rest of the 09-er crowd. But Logan wouldn't let anyone ruin his day. Veronica was his and his alone. nothing could put him down until...
SLAM!
Duncan pushed Logan up against the lockers and started screaming in his face.
"HOW COULD YOU! YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND AND YOU'RE DATING MY EX, LILLY'S BEST FRIEND! AND YOU KNOW I STILL LOVE HER! HOW COULD YOU!"
Meg, Veronmica and the rest of Neptune High stared and Duncan let Logan go. Veronica rushed up to Logan. Logan sank to the floorand Veronica sat in front of him,stroking his cheek.
"Are you ok?" she asked. She then stared hard at Duncan and looked back at Logan.
Logan got up and said "Yeah, I'm OK. As long as you're OK, I'm OK."
They then continued to the newspaper room, leaving Duncan in the dust.
