The morning after the party was brutal. Everyone was focused on his or her own individual task. Veronica was focused on killing Brooke with her eyes, Brooke was focused on remembering last night, Lilly was focused on getting rid of her massive hang-over, Logan was focused on avoiding everyone's gaze and Wallace focused on figuring out what was going on.
"Hey Lilly some guy Mouth left his number," Wallace commented. At Lilly's confused expression Wallace elaborated. "You know the guy whose lips you were attached to most of last night." Lilly searched her mind then shrugged. Breakfast continued in an awkward silence before Wallace got sick of it. "Okay that's it someone tell me what's going on," he demanded.
"Why don't you ask Brooke," Veronica said dryly and headed upstairs.
"Veronica!" yelled Logan and Brooke in union. Logan shot Brooke a 'sit down and shut-up' look as soon as she moved to chase after Veronica. Brooke did as the look told.
"Go away!" yelled a muffled voice for the other side of the door. Logan let out an exasperated sigh and walked into the room. Veronica was lying down on her bed with her body turned the opposite direction of the door.
"Veronica, I'm sorry. Please don't be upset," begged Logan desperately. He moved over to her bed and rubbed her back soothingly. Veronica let out a shuttered breath and turned around to face him.
"I want to go home," pouted Veronica. Logan smiled and pushed a stray piece of hair out of her face.
"I'm sure your dad would love your reasoning for coming home. I mean your cousin making the moves on your boyfriend is a pretty good excuse." Veronica hit him lightly on the chest and buried her head in the crock of his neck.
"I hate her," mumbled Veronica.
"I know Veronica but you have to remember how drunk she was. I mean you remember what you did the last time…" Loan smirked when Veronica's eye widened.
"That's different I never made out with someone else's boyfriend," reasoned Veronica.
"Yah but you did cheat on…" Logan began only to be covered by Veronica's hand. She could feel him smiling against her hand.
"Jackass," she muttered turning around so he was facing her back. Logan pulled her into him.
"I'm sorry Ronnie. You're right. You should hate her," he said as he was kissing her shoulder. Veronica sighed and turned back around.
"How can I hate her Logan?" Veronica asked. "She's my cousin. I can't just stop liking her!" Logan was confused.
"Yah well if you put it that way then I guess you shouldn't?" Logan tried.
"But I have every right to hate her! She tried to seduce you!" cried Veronica.
"I'm not sure whose side to take her Veronica. Yours or…. yours." Veronica huffed and fell into his chest. Logan laughed and wrapped his arms around her.
"I don't know Logan," she sighed after a few minutes.
"Hey," Logan began raising her chin to look at him. "Why don't we go out? Some place other than here." Veronica nodded somewhat eagerly. Logan smiled and pulled her up. The couple got ready and headed downstairs.
"Hey where are you two off to?" Wallace asked.
"Don't know," answered Logan. Wallace smiled and nodded and let the couple continue out. Veronica pulled opened the door and almost ran into a tall boy.
"Hello?" Veronica said.
"Hi I'm Mouth, I'm looking for Lilly is she here?" he asked.
"Um yah sure just a sec," Veronica pushed passed Logan and into the house. "Lilly!" she yelled from the bottom of the stairs. Lilly bobbed down the stairs and to the front door.
"Yes?" she asked. Veronica pointed to the door. Lilly walked over.
"Hi…" she greeted Mouth. The confusion Lilly was possessing was playing across her face.
"You don't remember me do you?" asked Mouth. Lilly shook her head guiltily in response. "It's okay. I'm Mouth we...um…where…talking last night."
"Oh wait Mouth. Wallace told me you left your number. And Hon if that was talking then you have a lot to learn," Lilly smiled. Mouth looked down abashed.
"I didn't want to make it awkward…you know," he smiled widely. Lilly smiled at his sweetness.
"Okay we're going to get going," announced Logan, he grabbed Veronica hands and pulled her out.
"So where are we going?" Veronica asked once they were settled in the car.
"Don't know," Logan responded. Veronica looked at him curiously but shrugged it off. They drove for what felt like hours laughing and talking about nothing. They finally stopped at this small restaurant to get something to eat.
"So…how are you feeling?" asked Logan.
"Better," Veronica shrugged. She thought back to last night. She was talking to Nathan and Haley when Logan came up and told her they needed to talk. She could tell something was up.
"Logan what is it? Is something wrong?" asked Veronica nervously.
"Listen I need to tell you something. Now don't freak out and let me explain," Logan said calmly.
"Fine go," Veronica told him.
"Okay I was in the kitchen and Brooke came up to me. At first we were just talking but then she…" Logan mumbled something.
"What?" Veronica asked.
"She kissed me. But it was only for a second and then I pushed her away. It didn't mean anything. She's just lonely and upset. Ever since Peyton and Lucas…I don't know I guess she just needed company or something and I was there," Logan said in one breath. Veronica stood there frozen. Then she began to walk away.
"Veronica were are you going?" asked Logan.
"Oh no where. Just to kill Brooke," Veronica said casually. Logan grabbed her arm and pulled her into him.
"Veronica come on she was drunk. Just hold off on any blood shed until tomorrow," Logan said. Veronica wasn't happy about it but complied. Logan kept Veronica close to him the whole night. Just in case she decided to do something stupid.
"Hello? Earth to Mars," Logan said waving his hand in front of her face.
"Oh yah sorry what?" Veronica asked.
"I said do you know what you want?" Logan said pointing to the waitress. Veronica mumbled an apology to the waitress and placed her order. Logan and Veronica ate there late lunch/early dinner in a comfortable silence. Logan paid the bill then they left. They were driving for a little while when Veronica spoke up.
"You would never cheat on me right?" asked Veronica.
"Of course not Veronica. You know that. I love you and only you. I may be stupid sometimes but I would never ever cheat on you," Logan said. He was hurt but he couldn't blame her. Her mother cheater, Lucas was a cheater and almost everyone she knew was a cheater. Veronica nodded in response. Logan grabbed her hand and held it until that got home. So much for a break from the drama.
