The next morning Veronica awoke in Brooke's room from a massive sugar coma. She looked at the alarm clock planted on her nightstand. The red numbers were blinking 9:45. Veronica groaned and got up. She brushed her teeth quickly then went downstairs to get food.
"Morning sleepy-head," Logan greeted as he laced her waist from behind and kissed her temple. Veronica groaned and headed to the coffee machine. "Wild night?" asked Logan.
"You know it!" exclaimed Lilly from her spot at the kitchen table. Logan chuckled. Later that day everyone was sitting in the living room discussing what they wanted to do for the day.
"How about the beach?" suggested Haley. The group nodded in approval.
"That's not a bad idea. I could use a tan," Lilly looked down at her slightly tinted skin. After everyone agreed they headed upstairs to get ready. Veronica was packing her beach bag when Logan snuck up behind her.
"Logan, what are you doing?" Veronica asked as he began kissing her neck.
"Nothing," he said while he turned he around and began kissing her. They were on the bed making-out when a loud bang echoed through the room.
"Hurry up! We're leaving in five minutes!" Wallace called. Veronica sighed, got up and went to her dresser.
"No…" whined Logan with a pout.
"I promise I will make it up to you later," Veronica smiled at him. She grabbed a swimsuit.
"Promises, promises," mumbled Logan.
"Ha ha," Veronica said dryly. "Now out while I finish getting ready." Logan pouted but complied and left her room. A few minutes later everyone was heading to the beach. Brooke, Logan and Veronica in one car. And Lilly, Nathan, Haley and Wallace in the other. In the first car Logan and Veronica were fighting over which radio station to listen to.
"Logan I don't want to listen to any of your angst boy crap," Veronica whined.
"To bad. My car, my rules," he smirked. Veronica glared at him and slumped back in her seat. They drove for a few minutes listening to the radio in silence.
"So Brooke," Veronica began. "How are you?"
"I've been better. It's just weird," Brooke stated.
"Weird how?" asked Veronica confused.
"Well…it's just that I don't really care that Lucas and Peyton are together. I should be really upset and angry. I am actually more disappointed. I wish they could have just told me," Brooke explained. Veronica simply nodded. She had never had her boyfriend cheat on her with her best friend. They rest of the drive was quiet.
"We're here," announced Logan as they pulled into the beach parking lot. As they were unpacking the car Nathan drove up and parked beside them.
"Hey guys," Nathan saluted. They all went down and picked out a spot. The girls were lying down tanning well the guys were swimming and tossing a foam football. After about an hour the guys headed in.
"Hey," Veronica said from her place on the beach chair. Logan smiled and hugged her. "Logan," she cried. "You got me all wet." Logan laughed.
"Well since your already wet why don't you just come swimming with me." Since they arrived at the beach all the girls had refused to go swimming.
"Mm, no," Veronica stated. Logan sighed in defeat then got an idea. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Logan Echolls! You put me down right now!" Veronica yelled at him. Everybody was laughing at the pair.
"Sorry sugarpuss no can do," Logan stated as he walked deeper into the water.
"Logan I swear if you drop me I will…" Veronica's threat was cut short as Logan plopped her into the water. Veronica resurfaced. "I'm going to get you Logan!" she hollered and then started swimming after him. She caught up to Logan and dunked his head underwater. When she let him back up she swam away. She was almost back to their spot on the beach when Logan caught her. Logan wrapped his arms around her.
"Now what should I do with you," Logan questioned.
"Let me go because you love me so much," Veronica pled as she turned around in his arms. Logan smirked and kissed her.
"You're lucky I love you so much," he said and released her. They finished their journey and arrived back with the others.
"Hey guys," Brooke waved at them. They smiled at her and Logan sat down pulling Veronica onto his lap. They sat there talking about nothing for a while when they were interrupted.
"Hey guys," one of the visitors said carefully.
"Oh hey Peyton, hey Lucas," Haley said.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Nathan.
"Just enjoying a fun day at the beach," Lucas spoke. Nathan nodded. No one knew exactly what to say. Brooke finally got up and began to walk towards the washrooms.
"Brooke wait," Peyton, yelled. Brooke continued walking so Peyton chased after her. "Brooke please wait! I just want to talk to you." Something in Peyton's voice stopped Brooke. She turned around and looked at her.
"You have my attention, but make it quick because I don't think it will stay long," Brooke told Peyton coldly.
"Brooke we have been best friends forever. I love you like a sister. I never wanted to hurt you. That's why we couldn't tell you. Lucas loves you too…"
"Yah right Lucas and you love me but not enough not to stab me in the back. You know I think it would of hurt a hell of a lot less if you just told me first," Brooke yelled.
"We wanted to. We were just scared. I tried to end it with him so many times. It was just so hard. Every time we stopped we were just brought back together. I know that you hate me right now but do you think that we could ever be friends again?" a no crying Peyton asked.
"I don't know Peyton," Brooke said in a voice barely above a whisper. "Just give me time." With that Brooke walked away and went into the washrooms. Peyton returned to were Lucas was standing.
"Hey you okay?" Lucas asked her. Peyton nodded. They couple said goodbye and left hand in hand to go relax. They were all sitting in silence for a while.
"I'm hungry," proclaimed Lilly.
"Me too," Nathan agreed. "I'm going to get some food." Nathan got up.
"I'll go with you guys," Wallace said.
"So will I," Haley told them. The foursome walked away and it left Logan and Veronica. Brooke had still not emerged from the bathroom. Veronica was curled up on Logan's lap listening to his heart as he played with the ends of her hair.
"You would never do that right?" asked Veronica.
"Do what?" Logan asked looking down at the tiny blonde on his lap.
"Cheat on me, like Lucas did to Brooke."
"Of course I wouldn't," Logan said.
"Good," Veronica mumbled sleepily. Soon enough Veronica was asleep in Logan's lap.
"Hey," Brooke mumbled as she sat down beside Logan.
"Hey," Logan said. "You okay?"
"Fine. I guess. I'm just so frustrated. I can't hate them because I love them both too much, but I can't just forgive them because it would be letting them off to easily," Brooke groaned and put her head into her hands.
"Brooke I have only known you for like two days. But I know that you can do better than some jerk who going to cheat on you," Brooke smiled at him when the rest of the group returned.
"Hey guys," greeted Haley. "We should get going soon. It's almost eight and it looks like someone is ready for bed," Haley smiled. Logan smirked at her. He bent down slightly and whispered in Veronica's ear.
"Baby come get up we're going to get going," Logan stroked her arm. Veronica groaned and buried her head deeper into Logan's chest. "Come on baby. Do I have to drop you in the water again?" This got Veronica up. She pushed off Logan's chest and began to help pack up. The drives home were silent. Nathan and Haley went back to their place and everyone else went to Brookes. Veronica and Logan went up to Veronica's room. They both fell down onto the bed. Logan was kissing Veronica when he realized he was getting little response.
"Ronnie," he moaned. "You promised."
"I know. I'm awake. I'm awake. I swear," Veronica mumbled sleepily. Logan let out a loud whine then flopped onto his back.
"How can you be tired? All you have done today is sit in front of the sun," Logan complained. Veronica shrugged and snuggled into him.
"I don't know. But I am. Tomorrow." Veronica soon drifted into a soundless sleep. Logan sighed but soon fell asleep himself.
A/N: Okay so I know that Brooke wouldn't forgive as easy as I am making her up to be but I don't want to have this conflict going on this whole summer. If I do then there wouldn't be very much of Lucas and Peyton's relationship. Also everyone other than Lilly just finished his or her junior year. Lilly just finished her senior. Please review!
