"So Logan and the boys went down to TJ for the weekend?" Lilly asked trying to hide the evil glint in her eye.

But didn't have to do that much work since Veronica and Gabby's back were to her. They were dressing in their pep squad uniforms and were getting ready for the annual car wash that they were forced to go to.

"Yeah but he will be back tonight" Veronica said her voice muffled by the shirt being pulled over her head.

"So what are you up to today Gabby?" Lilly asked.

"Nothing just going to see a movie and hang out" she answered.

"with your boyfriend" Lilly said with a chuckle.

"What?"

"You heard me I saw you kissing some guy outside of school one day, you think that ducking behind a police car is going to shield you" she said with a laugh.

"Well the police were inside we thought mid-as-well." She said looking a bit relieved.

"So who was it?" Veronica asked.

"I can't remember his name" Gabby smiled.

Lilly smiled too as Veronica rolled her eyes.

"Everyone ready…..lets go make those boys beg" Lilly announced pushing up her boobs while walking out the door leaving her friends to follow, both rolling their eyes.

It reached about noon when Lilly and Veronica got to chatting, Lilly was bouncing about a little to hyper then usual but that had been Lilly for the past couple weeks. She had a secret, Veronica could tell, and was bursting to let it out.

"God Lilly I see the Prozac's working" Veronica teased.

"High on life Veronica Mars, I got a secret a good one" she said with a twitch.

Veronica opened her mouth to ask what when their pep squad leader popped into their views and yelled about getting back to work.

"I will tell you later" she said moving back to her car.

Lilly left about 20 minutes later, with some excuse about a nail appointment.

Lilly lay across the bed yelling something about earning a persons keep, she looked up at the ceiling and noticed a black circle in the middle of the fan. Having spent so much time lately on her back in this room she was surprised she hadn't seen it earlier.

She moved to her knees to get a closer look and realized it was a camera, she followed the raised part of ceiling when the cords led and walked over to the book case. She them pulled it apart in the middle and held back the sudden shock of seeing the monitors.

Someone was approaching the pool house and her initial plan of stealing the tapes was diminished when she heard how close he was, she slammed the doors closed and ran back to her spot on the bed.

But to her surprise she saw Gabby come in.

"Lilly what are you doing here?" she asked a little surprised.

Lilly being the pathological liar she is came out with a response with out a second delay.

"Looking for you sweetie"

"I didn't see your car out front" Gabby acknowledged.

"It stalled a couple blocks over, I was coming over anyway so, I was think you and I could go out" she said with a sugary sweet smile.

"I cant I have to finish some work for my project" She answered having taken Lilly's excuse for the truth. She moved over by the bed and out of the door way.

A couple seconds later as if on cue Aaron came into the room with a happy go lucky face and a sing song "Lilly…." before seeing his daughter.

He faltered but not for long, he was a much better actor then his crap shot movies ever portrayed, "Good, I knew she would come home, I was just hoping you weren't waiting too long."

"Your dad let me in" Lilly said looking at Aaron with a smile.

"Well she cant stay I have work" Gabby said looking at the two and trying to figure out what was going on.

"Well I guess I will give you a ride home then" he said looking at the blonde.

"If you could help me with my car that would be great" she said moving forward out of Gabby's eyesight before wiggling her eyebrows suggestively at Aaron.

I will see what I can do" he added walking her out of the room.

"Bye Gabsy" she yelled over her shoulder.

Gabby sat on the bed still a little confused on what just happened. She lay back until she noticed a stream of blue light running across her lap. She followed the light to a crack in the bookcase and was taken aback at what she found.

She looked at the monitors and found a cupboard, quickly she took the tapes and closed the book case fully running back to her room. She copied the tapes with her camera upstairs and watched for her dad to come home.

When finished she ran back out to the pool house and placed the tapes back where she found them. Making her way back to her room she locked the door and proceeded to watch every tape from the oldest to newest. The first couple didn't even shock her, there was Aaron with 20 different women mostly 09er house wives, and about a dozen girls most of whom she went to school with.

Yet her breath caught and her eyes began to water as she watched the tapes that started three weeks beforehand. Her sorrow filled expression turned to one of anger as she turned off her TV and stood up making her way to the front door, passing Aaron with so much as a glance, got to her car.

She didn't remember the ride to the Kane house, or even walking up to the door. But she does remember shoving Lilly into the house and screaming "What the fuck" at the top of her lungs.

"What?"

"Don't you fucking talk…. You are fucking my father….. what the hell is wrong with you" Gabby spat out as she stalked closer to Lilly.

"Gabby i…"

"What would have happened if my mother had found out…. Or even worse Logan or the press…. Are you trying to hurt me….us….." Gabby was crying now but still push Lilly farther into the room.

"I never wanted to hurt you" Lilly said scared at her friend's fierce gaze. She looked so distant like she wasn't even in her own body and it was scaring the crap out of Lilly"

"Bullshit" she said slapping Lilly across the face. She seemed to calm down as her breathing evened and she slowed down collecting herself.

"I don't want you anywhere near me, Logan or my family" she said looking at Lilly, before turning around back to the door. "Everything will come out Lilly…. I will not protect you, not when it means protecting him" she added closing the door behind her.

Lilly sat on the floor and placed her hand on her now tender and bruising cheek, slowly rocking herself back and forth tears streaming down her face.
