I have plenty ideas but I want to know what you think! Also I'm hoping you like this chapter... I'm hoping I went the right direction, but you can always tell me that.

X Violet X

Violet had asked to go to the bathroom after attendance was taken in order to escape the gossip. It wasn't hard to find the girls room seeing as her class was two doors down. When she walked in she noticed a girl washing her hands in the sink it was Veronica. "Hey." Violet said leaning against the sinks. "How's class?" Veronica asked. Violet just shrugged. "I want to talk to you after school. I have a few questions." Veronica wiped her hands off with a brown paper towel and threw it away. "Alright, I'll meet you at your locker. I'll bring you to my apartment after school." She said turning around. "Sorry, but I have to get to class. See you later. I'm in here a lot by the way." Veronica left while Violet decided to waist a bit more class time in the bathroom.

X Lunch X

Wallace walked outside and slid his brown-bagged lunch on his usual lunch table across from Veronica. "Man, every where I go people are talking about that girl Violet and Meg's death and some are talking about them being linked or something." He said looking around at the buzzing lunch tables around them. Veronica just kept her gaze on her mystery meat school lunch. Must run in the family. She thought. It hit her that she hadn't even thought about Meg or the baby in the past few days, she had made a promise to Meg and she was going to keep it. At least it would take her mind off of her mother anyway.

Violet exited the school doors she scoped out the quad and found Wallace and Veronica's lonely table. Violet sat down and joined them with only her bag and a bottle of Snapple Apple, her long blonde hair laid on to her belly button while her over-grown bangs were lightly blown to the sides of her face. "Hey." Violet said with a small smile. Veronica looked up at her and returned it. "Violet this is Wallace, my best friend, And Wallace this is Violet… the girl I told you about." She said pointing to each of them. Wallace stuck his hand out to Violet "Hey, it's nice to meet you." Violet nodded and shook his hand. From behind Violet's head he saw Jackie for the second time she gave the same pitiful look. Wallace withdrew his hand averting his attention from Jackie. Veronica looked at Wallace with sympathetic eyes.

"So I hear me and you are one of the topics of the day." Violet said as she ripped the plastic off of her Snapple cap and twisted off the top. "That's pretty normal for me." Veronica recalled some of the countless rumors about her. "If I'm lucky they'll find something more scandalous then my last name tomorrow." Wallace gave a scoff (but not a mean one). "People don't usually drop things here." Duncan came over to their table and sat next to Veronica. "Hey, what's up?" he said to no one in particular. He had spent most of his lunch period over at the 09er table, they haven't been very friendly to Veronica since her days of jury duty and they were also mourning the loss of one of their kind; Meg.

"Hey." Veronica said with a touch of iciness that Duncan didn't seem to notice. Wallace looked at his cell phone's screen. "Gotta run, I have an English test to make up." He said scooping up his books. "Bye." He said mainly to Violet. Violet had noticed a while ago that Veronica was uncomfortable around her, but she figured this would end soon being she herself was beginning to warm up to her. Violet looked over at her remaining lunch mates, Duncan and Veronica seemed to be very quiet. Trouble in paradise? Violet thought.

X After School. Veronica and Violet just got to the Mars Sunset Cliffs apartment. X

Veronica gestured for Violet to take a seat on the coach. She walked over to the fridge and reached in for two bottles of water. After shutting the door to it she tossed Violet one of the bottles. "You know what, come into my room." She led Violet to the back of the apartment to Veronica's oddly decorated but cute room.

While Violet sat down on the bed Veronica sat on her computer chair. "So you said you had a few questions this morning." Veronica reminded her. "Right." Violet pulled out one of her three subject notebooks. She turned it over to the back and opened it. On the very last page Violet had written out all of her questions.

"First Question: Who is Lilly?" Veronica explained about her. How she was her best friend, how she was Duncan's sister, and Logan's girlfriend. How Aaron Echolls murdered her, and how they had had an affair. And all the subjects minor and major. Violet slowly tried to comprehend the information. Lianne never told her of Lilly or Duncan. She found herself wanting for Lilly to be her sister. She would have to think all of it over later.

"Okay. Second question: What's the deal with Logan, Duncan and you?" Veronica explained all of her complicated relationships, of Duncan then of Troy and Deputy Leo, and then Logan. She was surprised to hear the details of their relationship. It seemed so unlikely for them to get together, and yet it seemed perfect the way it started… but not the way it ended. She thought about Logan and the way he had looked at her last night. I'm a reminder of his pain over them. She thought to herself.

Violet looked at her a bit angry. "Why did you break up with Logan… I'm sorry I know this isn't my place to say anything but he needed you and you left him stranded." Veronica looked shocked at what Violet had said. "You don't understand. He was dangerous," she said trying to defend herself. Violet shook her head and moved onto her next question.

"Third: Who's Meg?" she heard things of some girl Meg and Duncan. Veronica explained about the 80's dance, their break up, them getting back together, the bus crash, the coma, the baby and the death. Veronica seemed to be holding back all of her emotion. This town is seriously messed up. She couldn't believe this was in a way normal for here.

"Also there's a few other things I have to tell you about. There is Logan's booty-call, Kendall Casablancas, who happens to be married and is the step mom of Dick and Cassidy or Beaver as he is referred to as. There is also Jackie, who for a short time dated Wallace and then spilling a secret I told her and giving me a 'message' from Lilly all from the mouth of a psychic on some lame TV show." Violet just couldn't believe Neptune.

"Um, me and Duncan have a test in Sex Ed tomorrow about something grouse so do you think we could pick up a pizza or 2 and head over there?" Veronica asked. "No. Let's go." Violet walked out of the apartment with Veronica and got in the Le Baron outside.

X Logan X

Kendall had come a few minutes ago to the hotel room. After he had answered the door she kissed him and went into the living room. Duncan at the time had been playing a video game. She came and sat on his lap. Logan watched amused by her behavior, he had hoped she had gotten the message last time he told her off. Duncan looked at her confused "Why are you sitting on me?" She looked at him and rolled her eyes. "Hello there my boy toy." Logan laughed. "Does anything get threw that hair and into your thick head? I told you I'm not gonna be your sugar daddy."

"Don't be so pig-headed Logan I wasn't talking about you." Kendall said to him as she got up and sat down on the couch next to Duncan and began stroking his hair with her long red nails. Logan looked on in confusion. Duncan looked at Kendall and moved further away. "Can you please leave I have to study, I don't have time for this." Kendall stood up from her seat. "Fine, but next time I won't be so forgiving." She stood and walked out giving an are-you-jealous look. Logan still was staring in confusion "Did you and Kendall—" he was cut off by knocking at the door.

Once again Logan answered the door but this time Veronica and Violet were behind it with pizza and two two-liter Sprite bottles. "I love two for one deals." Veronica said walking past Logan and placing the boxes on the table. "Hi Logan. Duncan." Violet said as she walked behind Veronica putting the soda on the table.

Veronica sat down next to Duncan in the same spot Kendall had been sitting in not 3 minutes ago. Logan couldn't help but be angry with Duncan, he had gotten Veronica and yet he had cheated on her. Veronica pulled out "The Breakfast Club" from her infamous canvas bag and popped it in the DVD player. While the movie was on Duncan and Veronica studied while Logan and Violet just sat watching the movie. You could call it watching but they weren't paying any attention, they were thinking. Logan was reflecting on the recent past and Violet thought about all the answers to her questions.

X Later after Veronica left for home X

Duncan had gone to do what Veronica had told him, he had gone to out to speak with his family lawyer about his situation and about the baby, and he hadn't even seen her once. But they hadn't paid any attention Logan and Violet just sat there staring blankly at the screen or elsewhere. "She was wrong you know." Violet interrupted the perfect silence. Logan looked over at her. "What do you mean?" He asked out of pure curiosity. She kept her blank stare but responded. "For dumping you the way and time she did." Logan looked away. "Oh." Was all he said. After about five minutes Violet spoke again. "I'm sorry… I mean about Lilly and everything that's happened. I couldn't imagine a lot of what you've gone through happening." Logan looked at her and smiled a very small smile "A lot has happened to you too. " She nodded breaking her stare.

"Do you still love Veronica?" She asked. He looked down in deep concentration for a few moments and then looked up again into her eyes. "I don't know. It's hard to know if I feel anything at all. But what does it matter…she can barely look at me." The words slipped out of his mouth before he could stop them and just like that he couldn't stop. He told her everything. They sat there for about hours it felt just talking. And in that time Logan came to terms with a lot of things he couldn't face and so did Violet.

Violet couldn't believe all the layers that are Logan. She looked at him threw different eyes now, she never felt such an easy connection with anyone she had ever met. "I get what they saw in you." Logan knew she meant Veronica and Lilly. "Tomorrow come by my table at lunch. I want to introduce you to a few people." She smiled "Sounds goo." He looked at her face and into her eyes. "You remind me of her… Lilly I mean." She gave a smile and a shrug. "Well I'm going to go to sleep, I'll see you tomorrow." He got up and walked into his room. He couldn't believe how much he had told her in such a short time in knowing her.

X One Hour Later X

Logan couldn't sleep his mind was racking with thoughts and memories. When he heard the door close outside he got up and left his room, he needed to speak with Duncan. Violet was "asleep" just like last night and Duncan was turning off the TV. "Dude, we needed to talk." Logan said low trying to let Violet sleep. Duncan walked over to his friend. "Yeah okay. What's on your mind?"

Logan looked down at the floor putting the words together. "Did you cheat on Veronica?" Duncan looked at him silent. "Did you cheat on Veronica with Kendall. Yes or no?" Logan was fiercer that time. Duncan was once again silent. "Well did you." Logan was trying desperately to keep his voice down. "Once." He said quickly in hopes Logan didn't hear. Logan looked at him with rage. "Only once but I never did it again, I swear!" Logan looked at him disgusted "Was it worth it?" he growled out. Duncan fell silent for a bit but answered after a long pause "I don't know." Logan tried as he might he wasn't able to hold back the punch that sent Duncan to the floor.

He let out a yelp of pain when he hit the floor. His nose bled ferociously. He weakly got up and stood once again in front of Logan. He rubbed his arm across his top lip and removed a small amount of blood. Logan could already see a bruise forming. "How could you treat her like this… like dirt!" he yelled forgetting about Violet. Duncan looked at him angry "It's not like you haven't! Like last year you were malicious to her and when she broke up with you, you acted like a jerk!" Logan grew angrier. "It was different and you know it!" Logan now knew what he had been denying to even himself. I love her.

Violet laid there unsure of what to do. She had been listening the whole time, she knew about it all. She knew that in a matter of minutes either Logan or Duncan would become extremely violent, and that punch was just the start. She pushed herself off the couch. "Stop." She said calmly standing in front of the coach. "I'm not in the mood to go to the hospital with you two." They both looked at each other in anger. "Just go into your rooms and cool off." She said hoping they'd listen. Duncan looked at Logan and then Violet and then disappeared into his room.

Logan still stood there. His angry expression dropped from his face. He turned and looked at her. "Thanks, I'm glad you stopped me before I did something stupid." Violet smiled at him. You're stupid for not getting over yourself and running to her now. "Yeah, now enough with the hallmark moment we have school in the morning." Violet watched him silently turn and walk back into his room.
