Logan and Veronica made it home just after midnight.
"I'm going to get a drink I'll see you upstairs in a few," Veronica told Logan as she headed towards the kitchen. Almost all the lights were out so Veronica had assumed everyone was already asleep. She walked into the kitchen and bumped into someone who spilled their drink on Veronica.
"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry," Brooke said.
"Hmm. Seems like I always get in your way doesn't it?" Veronica asked snidely and made her way to clean her shirt.
"Veronica. Please just listen," Brooke begged. When Veronica didn't interrupt or leave Brooke continued. "Every since Lucas and Peyton got together I've been lonely on some level I knew that Luke didn't love me the way he said. But when he left it hurt. I just needed someone and the way I have seen Logan treat you…I don't know I just wanted that. I know it's not an excuse and I know I did a terrible thing but I don't want you hating me," Brooke said quickly.
"Whatever Brooke," Veronica rolled her eyes and grabbed. a glass to fill with water.
"Please Veronica. I was wasted. What ever happened to Hoes before Bro's?" Brooke asked herself.
"Are you calling me a hoe?" Veronica asked in offence.
"No... I didn't…it's a saying V," Brooke was trying desperately to make Veronica understand and forgive her.
"Whatever Brooke," Veronica mumbled once again and walked away. She went up to her room and found Logan lying down on the bed.
"Hey what took you so long?" asked Logan.
"Brooke was talking to me," Veronica sighed and lay down on top of Logan.
"Oh and how did that go?" asked Logan. At Veronica's look he received his answer. "That well huh?" Logan said sarcastically. "Veronica you can't be mad at her forever. She's your cousin."
"What so you're saying I should forgive her?" Veronica asked clearly getting mad.
"Yah I am actually. Not right away but in time though. She's been through a lot and she needs you. Everyone screws up once and awhile," Logan told her.
"God Logan. I can't believe you," Veronica growled and rolled off him.
"Veronica it's just what I think no one said you had to do it," Logan said trying to save himself.
"Just go. Sleep on the couch. I need to think," Veronica mumbled to him.
"Veronica…" he began.
"Please. Just let me think," she asked. Logan considered trying to talk to her again but decided against it. He got up and went downstairs. He went over to the couch and saw Brooke crying.
"Hey Brooke," Logan said gently.
"Oh hey," Brooke wiped away stray tears on her face. "What are you doing here?"
"Veronica kicked me out," Logan explained. "What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing I'm just moody. And Veronica hates me and it just all sucks right now," Brooke said breaking into tears again. Logan stood there awkwardly for a moment before he went over and wrapped his arms around Brooke, who took his embrace as well. The two were so lost in comforting each other they didn't hear Veronica come downstairs. Since Brooke's cries had stopped the two looked to be in a compromising position.
"You two are unbelievable!" Veronica cried. The couple looked up and shock just in time to see Veronica stomp away.
"Oh crap," moaned Logan. He hopped up and ran up the stairs. He made it to Veronica's room only to be greeted by the loud slam of her door. "Veronica please open up," he begged.
"What's going on?" yawned Lilly who had woken up when the door slammed.
"Veronica locked me out. She's pissed off at me because she saw me hugging Brooke," he notified her. Lilly thought for the moment then gently knocked on the door.
"Veronica it's Lilly can I come in?" she asked. Lilly waited for a moment before she heard the door click open. Lilly walked inside and found Veronica slumped next to the door with tear streaks running down her face. "Hey 'Ronica how are you?" Lilly asked and sagged next to her.
"Oh just fantastic. My cousin has the hots for my boyfriend. She kissed him and I'm pretty sure he likes here too," Veronica cried. Lilly hugged her from the side.
"V Logan loves you so much. He would do anything for you. Brooke may like him but neither of them would ever purposely hurt you. Especially Logan, that boy would give you the world if you let him." Veronica sniffled. She knew that Lilly was right but she didn't want to admit it just yet. After an hour Lilly left Veronica's room.
"Is she alright?" Logan asked frantically.
"I guess. She's asleep right now. You have to realize that Veronica is really sensitive and protective when it comes to you. And seeing you doing whatever it was that you were doing with a girl who threw herself at you just days ago is gonna piss her off."
"I know. It wasn't what it looked like. She was crying," Logan whined and hung his head. After a minute Logan looked up. "Whose shirt is that?"
"Umm it's Mouth's. He's asleep in my room right now," Lilly blushed bright red. Logan smirked and shook his head. "Well I'm going back to bed. I'll see you in the morning and get some sleep Logan."
Veronica didn't leave her room until one o'clock the next day. She walked into the kitchen and straight to the fridge. The whole gang were sitting at the table no one knew what to say.
"Veronica can we talk please?" asked Logan. Veronica held up her hand to silence him. She stuck her head in the freezer and emerged moments later with a tub of Ben & Jerry ice cream. She shut the freezer and went back upstairs.
"That sucks man," Wallace commented.
"Yah she's really pissed," Nathan observed.
"Nathan shut-up you're not helping," Haley whispered.
"I'm really sorry. This is all my fault," Brooke said sympathetically.
"No Brooke it's okay," Logan sighed. He sat there for a minute before he got up and went to Veronica's room. He knocked on the door but did not wait for an answer before he walked in. "Listen Veronica we need to talk." Veronica rolled over on her side facing away from Logan. "Please just listen." Veronica slammed her ice cream down and looked him in the eyes.
"What!" she snapped.
"Veronica, Brooke means nothing to me. The most she would ever be is a friend. You are the one I love. You are the one I care about. No one else. Please, please forgive me. Last night I was just comforting her that was it. I swear," Logan begged.
"Really?" Veronica asked after several minutes.
"Yah, really," Logan said and got closer to her.
"Promise you'll never comfort a girl that kissed you again?" Veronica asked.
"I promise," Logan said and sat down on the bed.
"And you'll order Chinese for dinner?"
"Yah I'll order Chinese for dinner."
"Then I guess you're forgiven," sighed Veronica dramatically.
"What do you think they are talking about?" Haley asked.
"Well I don't hear any yelling or bodies hitting the ground so I take that as a good sign," said Wallace.
"Maybe I'll go check," Lily stood up only to be pulled back down by Mouth.
"You can't go up they're talking in private," Mouth reasoned.
"Fine," Lilly huffed. The posse was talking when Lilly's cell phone rang. "Hello? Oh my gosh hey I haven't heard from you in forever. How's the rug rat?" Lilly blabbed over the phone for a few more minutes filled with excited squeals and screeches. Once she hung up everyone looked at her expectantly. "Oh right that was Meg. Her and Duncan are gonna come down for a few days. Celeste is taking the baby down to visit her parents. So Duncan and Meg are going to come down."
"Okay and who are they?" asked Mouth genuinely confused.
"Duncan's my brother and Meg's his girlfriend. They have a baby," Lilly said nonchalantly.
"Oh, all right," Mouth smiled.
