(In Veronica's mind)

"We the jury find Aaron Echolls not guilty..."

Evrything I knew was gone. Right when the African-American woman stood up. Thats when I knew that Aaron was either going to go to his own personal hell or he was going to get away scot free. The jury wasn't there they don't know what I went through. That was my own personal hell. Aaron was guilty and he knew it. If you could just see his look in the courtroom when Logan described what the tapes had on them. It looked like Aaron swallowed a frog and was choking on it. He was turning red. Aaron went all pale.

I want what I can't have. I want Aaron to be punished for this crime. For him to lie on the stand like that. Well, he did have to provide his defense. I just wish Lily were here. Aaron took her away from me. She was my best friend. Lily meant the world to me. For Aaron to get away with her death and blame it on Duncan, is outright wrong.

People should've saw right through this. Aaron Echolls is a famous actor. He can control whether he cries or laughs, or screams whenever he wants to. They should've just saw right through this whole act.

What Lily's death taught me is that even when things are going great in your life, it can go wrong in the push of a button. It also taught me to get tough. To stand up for myself. For people to make vicious rumors about you, you have to be strong. For someone in your life to die, you have to be strong and move on. Think of all the positive things they taught you and not the negatives.

To Aaron Echolls-you will get what you payed for. For you killing Lily and not going to jail and getting out, I'd watch out if I were you. Expect the unexpected. Don't expect any Congrulations! You got of jail cards from me. Watch out.

Hey, when life gives you melons, make lemonade.
