A/N: Hey, sorry it took so long to update. I had auditions for my summer show, and finals are this week. I probably won't be able to update for about 2 or 3 weeks because of vacation, but I'll get a new chapter up as soon as I can. Hope this chapter is worth the wait. I love comments, and I usually read your stories if you comment. Thanks to everyone who reviewed already, and here you go!
She was sitting on his lap, her hands tugging at his hair, their tongues exploring each other's mouths. They were in the back of his "jackass yellow" SUV. She tasted so good, and Logan couldn't bear to break away from her. However, he did, when the door to his car flung open and standing there, was a very angry Aaron, with his belt in his hand. The look on his face was so indescribably angry; you would think it was only possible in the horror movies. He is an actor after all. Logan automatically scrunched up and braced himself, knowing the pain that would come.
Aaron didn't reach for him, but for Veronica, and he pulled her out roughly by the arm and through her on the gravel driveway. He started to beat her, and Logan was terrified. He needed to save her, he needed to protect her, but he couldn't move. He opened his mouth to scream but no sound came out. Then, Veronica changed before his own eyes. Her hair got longer and her eyes turned blue. Veronica was now Lilly, and Aaron was no longer beating her, but going to go kiss her.

Logan woke up sweating. . His white sheets were twisted around his ankles and his throat was sore. It was just a dream. He sat up quickly, and immediately regretted it. His head was pounding. When he looked over at his clock, the red numbers read 6:30. Time for school. When he was brushing his teeth, he noticed the egg sized bruise around his eye. He's going to have some 'splaining to do. Logan smiled at his own joke. He took some Advil and got into his car and drove to school.
He saw her before 1st period started. Her honey blonde hair was down, and she was using one of her perfect hands to push the excess behind her ear. She was laughing at something Wallace said. Her laugh was melodious and he couldn't help but stare at the beautiful girl across the hall. It was 3rd period when he found the note on his desk.
Logan:
We need to talk. Meet me in
the main hallway girl's bath
room. There is a pass attached.
-V
It took everything in Logan not to jump up and dash to the bathroom. He showed the pass to his study hall teacher and made his way to the main hallway. The girl's lavatory had an out-of-order sign on it. He looked around and then slipped inside the big green door. He looked up to find those beautiful green eyes staring back at him.

Veronica went into the bathroom fifteen minutes early so she could hang the sign and collect her thoughts. She was sitting on the countertop when he walked in. She imagined his lips on hers like they were yesterday.
"Mars, snap out of it. You're here to help him, not make out with him!" she said to herself. He walked over to her
"Hey," he said in barely a whisper. He smiled that half smile, which meant that something was going on in that gorgeous head of his. She was determined to find out what it was.
"Logan…What happened yesterday, does it happen often?" Veronica asked in a quiet voice. He was silent and avoided her eyes. "I only want to help you," she continued. He looked at her, took a deep breath, and hopped up next to her.
"It started when I was about seven. I dropped my juice box in his brand new Ferrari. The stain on the carpet was small, but that didn't matter. He used the back of his hand and broke my nose." Logan said.
Veronica slid her hand onto Logan's lap and intertwined her fingers with his. Veronica remembered that broken nose. When she asked him about it he said he tripped and fell down the stairs. Logan's eyes were dark, and she could see one tear forming in the corner of his eye. She reached up and wiped it away before it had the chance to fall. He turned his head and started to inch toward her. Veronica thought of running away, but that notion disappeared with all the rest of them when his lips met hers. Not before long, she parted her lips, and Logan's tongue graciously accepted the invitation.
