---------------------
The car ride back to my house was quite. When Logan stops the car in front of my house, I'm still sitting there thinking. My mind was still reeling from what Celeste did to me. That means she know's my mother. Was my mother having an affair with Jake Kane and Celeste knew? Where is my mother now?
I jump when I feel something brush against me. I look over and I'm startled by the look I see in Logan's eyes. There's mixed emotions there. Looks like Termoil. I part my lips readying myself to say something, but his index finger comes up and lands on my lips. He leans in and I feel my breath hitch. Suddenly the air feels thick. Like it's hard to breathe. Is he going to kiss me? Please let him kiss me. Oh please. I chant in my head as my eyes lock onto his. He leans in even more, and I start to close my eyes. Just before they close, I notice that he kept leaning over me until he passed my face. I hear the lock on the door pop open. Then he leans back against his door.
I try to wipe the just-been-slapped-in-the-face look off my face by turning around and looking out the front window. Don't sweat it Veronica. He was just opening the door. You misread the situation, that's all. Don't seem so shocked. Don't let him know you were expecting something more. Then why does it hurt so much? It's because you've never liked someone as much as you do Logan. But he's off limits. He just lost his girlfriend. I can relate becaue I just lost my best friend. Though it's not the same thing, it's the same feeling. Like you're hearts been ripped out of you're chest and stomped on. Maybe that's what I'm feeling for him. Sympathy because were both feeling the same thing for different people.
I think he notices the confused look on my face because he clears his throat. I finally look him in the face, and I notice the sad look on his face. That does it. I can feel the tears coming to my eyes. Don't cry Veronica. I know you're feeling confused, but that's no excuse to cry. I turn away and stare out the front window again.
Logan reaches out and caressess my arm. I look over at him and once again my breath hitches. He leans in again. This time he stops with his face just inches from mine. "Sorry bout Celeste." His voice comes out sounding husky. That's when the shivers run up and down my whole body. I open my mouth, and nothing but a whimper comes out. I shut my mouth tight. That did not just come out did it? Oh who cares.
I close the gap and capture his lips with mine. He seems surprised at first, but then he deepens the kiss. He places his hands on both my cheeks and I do the same. Our kiss deepens more from the experimental kiss to a more exploring kiss. That's when his hands make there way into my hair and my arms make there way around his neck. As the kiss deepens, I feel a wave of peace wash over me. So this is what it feels like to be happy. I forgot about this feeling. My mind went blank when he gently nipped my bottom lip with his teeth. That's when I lose the gentleness and become more forceful. I pull him down and straddle his hips. He grinds his hips into mine, and I let out a moan. I run my hands under his shirt and all over his stomach.
What seems like hours later, but really only minutes, we finally break apart so that we could gasp for air. We both looked surprised by what happened. Then slowly, a smile starts to take over. I lay down on his chest with my ear over his pounding heart. His arms gently stroke my back. I cuddled into him as much as I could. We just laid like that not saying anything. Just needing the comfort of someone right now.
"Damn girl whatcha doin?" I hear someone say behind me. I lift my head up but I still can't see anything. I look down and I notice that Logan fell asleep. A smile comes across my face and I lean down and kiss the corner of his mouth.
"Do you really need to be doing that in front of me?"
I whip my head back and push myself up. A scream rips out of my lungs as I turn around and try to open the door. For some reason I can't get it open and I struggle against it as the tears start to leak down my face.
"What's the matter Veronica? Seen a ghost?"
A sob escapes. This can't be happening. Please tell me I'm dreaming. This isn't real. I say over and over again as I struggle with the door that won't open.
"Look at me Veronica."
I can't help it. I stop struggling with the door. I take a deep breath and steal myself. He's not really there. When I turn around he's going to be gone. I just imagined it. It's not real. He's not really here. I slowly turn around to face the backseat and another sob escapes my lips. "You're not real! You're not really here!" I scream as the tears poor down my face.
"What are you trying to say? Of course I'm here. I'm you're BFF. It's me Wallace Fennell. Did you forget about me already? Man, I mean you move to a new town, and it's like you forget all about me. What's up with that? I thought I meant something to you."
"That's not true! I could never forget you. I loved you like a brother! But you can't be here! You're not real! You died!"
"Yea well dying sucked. You want to see where she shot me? Seems to me that you don't care that I was murdered. Here's my proof. You're here in a car making out with the first person who showed some interest in you."
I let out another scream as someone else materializes right before my very eyes. It's Lilly Kane. I recognize her from her pictures. She's sitting next to Wallace. She's beautiful, I mean if there wasn't blood all over her face.
"Geez Veronica go after my boyfriend why don't you. I mean I just died and all."
"Oh god you're Lilly. I'm sorry about what happened. I'm trying to find you're killer. I found Wallace's, I know I could find your's."
"So this is you're technique?"
"This?" I point between Logan and myself. "This isn't like that. I mean yea we made out, but that's it. Were not together or anything."
"So you're just using him? Trying to feel alive inside? Well I'm sorry honey but you're messing with the wrong dead chic."
Wallace looks over to Lilly. "Good one. You know she never used to be this way when I was alive. She actually cared about me and about helping people out. She never went behind my back like this before. And now she's doing it to you." Wallace shakes his head like he's disappointed."
"I'm sorry." My voice cracks as the sobs take over my body. "I love you Wallace! It kills me that you're gone. That I can't just show up at your locker and know that I could tell you anything. Or that you would comfort me when I needed it. It kills me that I can't just pick up the damn phone and call you to come chill out at my house! I miss you soo much! It hurts to think about it. So I'm sorry if it seems like I forgot about you, but it was either that or just shut down inside because I miss my best friend!" I wrap my arms around my stomach as the sobs make my whole body shake.
"Wow. That actually seemed heart felt." Lilly says as she looks at me. "I heard what you said about me Veronica Mars. That you don't care that I'm dead. That you didn't want to bother with me. But that you only changed you're mind because you're obsessed with my man's ass. I can't believe how shallow you are."
"Veronica's a lot of things, but shallow is not one of them." Wallace turns to me. "I understand how you feel. I would probably do the same thing if it was you who died. I wouldn't have been able to handle the pain. But please, don't walk around like I never existed. Mourn my death already, and move on. As soon as you can move on, I can do the same thing."
"Well aren't you two cute. Puh-leaze. I'm here to talk about fabulous me. Veronica you're a bitch. You don't care about anyone but yourself. You don't care that someone murdered me. You would let the killer get away. What if he went after someone else. Then what would you do?"
"I know it's not Abel Koontz. I know there blaiming the wrong guy. But I don't know why. What does Abel Koontz even have to do with anything? You didn't know him. Did you?"
"See now you're getting it. You finally realize this is about me and not about you finding you're slutty ass mother. That's right I know all about her and you. Even before I tragically died."
"Now hold on. I think Veronica can find out who killed you and find out about her mother. She can do two things at once."
Lilly rolls her eyes. "Whatever. Just as long as she finds out who killed me, AND stays away from MY man." Lilly evaporates.
Wallace looks at me and makes a funny face. Which makes me laugh through my tears. "Ignore her. She's the shallow one. Just keep doing what you're doing. And stop blaiming yourself. Live you're life Veronica before it's too late. And if that means living with Lilly's MAN, then so be it."
Wallace disappears as well.
"Veronica? Hey Veronica are you ok?" I feel someone shaking me gently. Groggilly I open my eyes. I turn my head and I notice Logan looking at me with concern in his eyes. I jump up and immedietly look in the back seat. When I see that no one's there, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Veronica?" I look over at Logan. "What happened? You were crying and moaning in your sleep. Is everything ok?"
"Yea. Everything is fine. I just had a bad dream that's all. I'm ok now. I'll see you tomorrow in school."
I turn around and open the door. I try not to run to my door and into the house.

QueenCate: Thank you thank you I'm trying my best to get better and better. I think Veronica was eager to hear from Celeste because in a way she knows that she knows something about her mother. I mean she hasn't seen her since she was a kid. Sorry I made Veronica too dramatic, but I was going for shock. Lol glad you liked Celeste's reaction
SpikesSpecialFriend: Ugh I can't believe you picked up on DoVe! Lol j/k. The point to this story is that I want it too seem like Veronica could be interested in them both. Can't blame ya I am upset with this season so far too, but omg the credits for next week have me sooo excited!
Rockerchick224: Lol I'll be sure to keep up the 'rockin' work. BTW do you know what myspace is? I can't write the link, but if you do and you have one, let me know.

Twisted3ljw: Lol woohoo glad this chapter ROCKS! Lol I wouldn't want Celeste any other way either. But seriously, how would you react if someone came up to you and said you were the daughter of someone cheating on your husband.
Luvlogan-sara: Good keep on going. I'm trying to as well with this season. Fortunatly next week looks awesome :)
Simply Lily: Lol I'm glad you thought this was cute. I think you'll like this chapter even more. You're damn right this is a LoVe. Lol I had it confusing like that on purpose. Because she's new, so it could have gone either way. But with this new chapter, you will know that it is definetly LoVe. As for Duncan...Dun Dun Dun lol all I have to say is that we think 2 much alike and it's starting to scare me bcuz I just had Wallace visit her in a dream lol and I forgot you had written this. Lol don't worry I'll bring back Weevil eventually. Do you know what Myspace is? I can't write the link here, but if you do, let me know.
