A/N: This is AU. Lilly is still alive, and at the time broken up with Logan. Duncan and Veronica are together. Takes place in the middle of Lilly's junior year and everyone else's sophomore. LoVe. This is my first attempt at an actual story, so please comment with constructive criticism. Thank you! I hope you enjoy the story!
"Jeez Mars, It's only New York! I'll only be one plane ride away."
Veronica just stared at her best friend.
"Its three thousand miles away Lilly!" she replied.
Lilly moving to New York made sense, she was too big, too vivacious, to be kept in Neptune. She'd be free in NYC. After Veronica hugged her best friend one last time, she turned to look at Duncan. Her Duncan. He stepped towards her and wrapped his arms around her tiny waste. He leaned in a kissed her with the kind of kiss that you see only in movies. She wanted to remember this moment forever. He held her hand and whispered promises and "I'll miss you" into her ear.
The plane was boarding and Jake and Celeste were waiting impatiently in line.
"I'll always love you," were his last words before giving her a chaste kiss on the lips and letting go of her hand. Once Duncan was on the plane and she could no longer see him, Veronica collapsed into the uncomfortable plastic terminal chairs and cried. Within moments a familiar hand was on her back and someone was handing her a tissue.
Logan was here to say goodbye to Duncan, because Lilly and him were broken up. However, as Duncan held her for those last precious moments, she could have sworn she had seen the two of them making out. "You should eat something." Logan said, lifting her head with one finger. He searched her eyes then held out a hand to pull her up.
They were halfway to the Terminal C Pizza-Hut when Veronica realized their fingers were still intertwined. She let go quickly, and shoved her hand into her jean pocket. At that moment, Logan realized how right it was to be with her, and after he watched her scarf down three pieces of pepperoni and mushroom pizza, he realized he was in love with her. Oh boy, this could create problems…
