So I thought I would be nice and add some Logan and Wallace into the mix. I also made the chapter a lil bit longer. Hope you enjoy!

Bam

The room slowly starts to come into focus. The only light in the room is coming from the television set. Slowly, the blurriness starts to turn into objects. My left eye doesn't open all the way, and I can start to feel the pain throbbing through my skull. Looking down and around, I notice I'm lying down on a couch tied up. There's masking tape around my mouth, my arms are behind my back, and my legs are tied at the ankle. Starting to become more awake, I try to check my surroundings, but all I can see is the tv that looks like it's playing some Western show.

I strain my ears to try and hear if anyone else is in the room with me. I don't hear anyone. Looking in front of me, I notice theirs a coffee table, and on that coffee table is my cell phone. I roll off the couch and manage to not smack my face on the floor. Laying still to make sure no one heard me, I sort of wiggle my way closer to the table. Then I lift my head up and use my chin to push the phone off the table and land under me. Then I back up a bit.

Using the only thing I can think of in this situation, I use my tongue to turn on the phone, and then dial Veronica's number.

Ring Ring Ring

"Logan?" Oh god it feels so great to hear her voice. It's like music to my ears.

"Yea it's me." My voice sounds like a frog. I clear my throat hoping that will work. It does a little.

"Are you hurt? Where are you? Who has you? God Logan, you've had me so worried about you!" She sounds like a mixture between worried, relief and anger. That's the Veronica I know and love.

"Would you listen to me? This isn't all about you. I'm the one who got kidnapped." I snap back, and it feels good to act normal again. I think she realizes it as well.

She sighs knowing that I'm right, but not wanting to admit it so easily. "Sorry Logan. Tell me what I can do to help."

"Well it would be great if you could untie me." I try to joke to lighten the mood.

"Is there anyone in the room with you?" She's smart. I lift my head up as far as I can and look around.

"No. There's nobody near by. But they can't be to far. And they can't be the smartest guys in the world if they left my cell phone with me."

"Do you know where you are or who did this to you?" She's finally starting to get down to business.

Just as I'm about to answer her, I hear some commotion just outside the door. "Shit! Their back. I have to go. I'll try to be in contact again. Thank's for trying to help me. I know you'll be able to save me. I love you Veronica."

With that said, I jab my tongue on the off button. Then I put it in my mouth and try not to cringe at the metallic taste and coldness. I spit it out on the table and position it back the way I found it. The door opens.

"I don't care what you say, I get the double cheeseburger. I'm in charge." I can hear them walk up behind me and stop.

"Well what do we have here? Looks like someone woke up and tried to escape. Not like he got far." This guy's an idiot.

"Let's show him what it means to try an escape boss." Oh shit.

They grab me by the back of my shirt and hall me up. They sucker punch me in the face, and my world fades to black.

--------------------------

"Thank's for trying to help me. I know you'll be able to save me. I love you Veronica."

Those words having been haunting me ever since I hung up the phone with Logan, causing me to have another sleepless night. I can't keep letting him get to me like this. It won't do us both good if I'm walking around like a zombie all the time. But I just can't help it. How can I not worry about him? I know we haven't exactly found our way back to being nice to each other, but that doesn't mean that I don't still care about him.

By the time lunch came around, I was on a mission to find Hannah and hopefully get all the answers I need. I sat there picking at my food as I searched everyone's faces, hoping they were Hannah. It shouldn't be that hard to spot the new girl, but come on now, I'm not exactly the most popular. I don't know everyone. I don't even know what grade she's in. She could be a freshmen for all I know, and that makes this search so much harder. Maybe I should just have Beaver point her out for me. That would make life so much easier.

"Earth to Mars. Come in." My eyes finally focus in on my BFF.

"What? Oh haha very funny. Like I haven't heard that before."

"How else was I supposed to get you're attention? I've only been talking to myself for the last five minutes."

"Sorry Wallace, I was just admiring my fellow primates in their everyday habitats."

"Yea well, just don't let it happen again." Wallace is trying to get me to snap out of it, but as usual, it's not working to well.

"I'll keep that in mind."

"Alright Veronica I'll bite. What's bothering you now?"

"You know me so well don't you? What makes you think something's wrong?" I try going for innocence.

"Nice try. You can't get me with that head tilt. I know you too well Veronica. I know when something's bothering you. Who are you looking for now?" I knew there was a reason for him being my BFF.

"Ok you got me. I'm looking for someone who has this 'thing' with Logan. And before you assume I'm jealous or some crap like that, she may be my only link to his disappearance."

Wallace raises an eyebrow while staring me down. "Thing huh? And I would never accuse you of secretly still being in love with him. Hmm, so that's why I haven't seen him in a while. He's gone and got himself kidnapped huh?"

"Cute." My voice is oozing with sarcasm. "Very cute Wallace. Now if you don't mind, I have a missing person to find."

"Fine. I give in. Who is this mystery person who has a 'thing' with Logan who you have no feeling for what so ever."

I throw my french fry at him trying not to laugh. "I loathe you Wallace Fennel!" I fake getting annoyed with him and pick up my lunch tray that I'm about to throw out. "Just because your one of the popular people now, don't think you can get away with that attitude."

Wallace gets up and follows me. "Hey just because I'm one of the beautiful people now, doesn't mean I have to treat you differently."

"How does Jane put up with you? Remind me to get some pointers from her."

"Ouch V! Are we trying to turn the tables now? I see how it is." We dump our food in the trash and head towards the school.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just walking here minding my own business. It's you who started it." I go for the innocence again.

"You were never good at feigning innocence. Give it up. Now once again, who is this mystery person you're supposed to be looking for."

"Some new girl. Goes by the name Hannah."

"Hannah?" Wallace thinks about this. "Yea I think I've seen her around. She's cute in the I'm-so-cute-and-innocent look. Can't imagine what Logan would see in her. He seems to only go for the bad girls."

"Hey!" I lightly punch him on his shoulder. "I'm not a bad girl! I too was once innocently happy in my bubble. It wasn't my fault it went and got popped. That doesn't make me a bad girl."

Wallace nudges me with his shoulder. "Right. Let me guess. You're going to follow that statement with the fact that you're on the FBLA. What bad girl could possibly be a member? That doesn't count. You only joined that so you could be with you're boring boyfriend. Or is he you're ex now? It's so hard to keep up with you're love life."

"I joined the FBLA because I needed something that would look good on my college applications. Is it my fault that he just happened to be a member already? And what do you mean boring? He was not boring."

"Oh yea? Well name one exciting thing you did together."

That stops me. Literally. I stopped walking to think about this question. What did we do that was exciting?

"I told you he's boring."

"Hey. I'm thinking about it." I try to defend Duncan.

"Well if it takes you that long, then there is no answer." Wallace looks smug.

"I got it. The time I helped smuggle him and his ex girlfriends illegitimate love child out of the country." Hah! See I can come up with something.

"Ok that was at the end of your relationship. What about the beginning and the middle? That can't possibly be the only thing."

"How did we get on this conversation? What does my relationship have to do with anything?"

Wallace starts walking again, so I follow him. "My point is Veronica, and I almost hate to admit this, but I liked you better when you were dating Logan. Sure you lied to me, went behind my back and used me, but you were happier then. Admit it, you only got back with Duncan because you were scared. You went with Duncan because he's safe. And he's familiar. With Logan, you're world got thrown upside down. Tested you to the limits, and that scared you shitless. Getting back with Duncan was the safest thing to do. But he's gone now. You can't hide behind him anymore. You need to face reality, and I'm glad you want to help Logan. Maybe now things can get back to the way they should have been."

"I love you Veronica."

I can't help it. I stop short again and gape at Wallace. Flabbergasted, my mouth opening and closing like a fish. Wallace takes this cue to smile as he walks away towards the gym for his next class. Leaving me in the middle of the hallway staring after him.

FanFicFairy514: Thanks. The flashbacks were a challenge, but I'm glad they came out right. I'm glad Beaver is helping her as well. He's just too darned cute to leave out of the story.
