Fourth

Lessons of the past come back to the present.

Veronica was eating lunch when a arm slipped around her waist. She turned her head slightly and was greeted by a delighted Duncan. Duncan gave Veronica a quick kiss hello and sat by her.

"You seem distracted today Veronica. What's going on?" Duncan said with concern in his voice.

From the view point Veronica had she could see that Logan was being the life of the table over there with the 09's. She cringed at the talk, well spat, they had at each other the other day. But it must have not been bothering Logan and if so, he didn't show it.

Ahhh, why can't I stop looking and thinking about Logan? I have the perfect boyfriend right here. Maybe I did change, but so did Duncan and we fit well together. Don't we?

"Veronica?" Duncan turned to face what Veronica was starring at and saw Logan. Sometimes he felt that maybe Veronica only went back to him because she wanted to be 'normal' again and slowly have everything the way it was before Lily's death.

"Hey, why don't you look at me instead of them?" Veronica said with a small smile.

"I could ask you the same thing cant I?" Duncan said getting up and leaving the table.

Veronica was speechless. She saw Logan looking her way and stared at him with all the harshness she could muster, which was a lot. Unexpectedly, Logan got up from his table and was walking over to her. Then the bell rang to end the period, and Logan walked right passed her table to class. Veronica let out a breath of relief. She got up and walked over to class.

At the Mars resident.

"What are you doing here? If Veronica see's you... You need to leave now." Mr. Mars said placing his hands on his ex wife's arm and pushing her out the door.

"Keith stop it. Stop it. I am Veronica's mot…"

"No, no you are not, You stopped being her mother when you walked out the door the second time. We gave you a chance to make it all up. We allowed for the explanations and the time away from us to be thrown under the rug. No, not again though. You left, and for…" Keith held his tongue. "Get out. You don't belong here anymore. This is not your family" Keith said with indignation in his voice.

End of school. The parking lot

Veronica was walking to her car when she saw the PCH bikers on their bikes surrounding it. She placed her hand in her bag and got hold of the taser she had kept for … special occasions.

"Now I knew you guys liked me, but come on now. I think this is a bit much, don't you." Veronica said grinning.

Weevil looked around like Veronica was talking to an imaginary person. "Wow, you really think you're special. Well I'm sorry I've lead you on, but what more can I say just that…"

Veronica stared angrily at Weevil. She cut him of by saying, "What do you want?"

Weevil smirked. He usually was at fairly good odds with Veronica but theses days they were on different sides, and the compromises that were usually made could not be. Weevil was handed a baseball bat by one of his buddies. He toyed with it and with a forceful hit, smashed in Veronica's headlights.

"This is for your boy Logan." Weevil took another swing and smashed in the other headlight. Veronica held tightly onto the taser. She knew wouldn't be able to get anywhere near her car without the guys blocking her way so all she could do for the time being was watch.

"You…" Weevil made three serious dents on the hood of her car. He gave a look towards the guys to show he was the boss. "Now…" he handed the bat back. "I want you to remember how much 'fun' I can add to your life if you continue messing up my 'work'. Got it."

Weevil began to walk away when he heard the disturbing and similar sound of a certain headlights being smashed in. He looked in the direction of his and his buddies' bikes, and saw Logan Echolls beating endlessly his bike with a metal pole.

Logan looked over to Weevil and smiled and continued to smash the precious bike to pieces.

"I'm gonna kill him." Weevil said under his breath, which was heard by everyone, including Veronica. Weevil and the rest of them began to run towards Logan.
