I am incredibly sorry for the long wait. I got caught up with school and other things and I never meant to leave you guys hanging, but I did. So here is chapter 11 and 12. (You can ignore the other author's notes, because I am reposting it without editing it.) So here is more to read. :)
AN: So I've started school. It's fine so far. I'm having a problem getting the elective I want (criminal law) but things are okay. It's nice that I have the same lunchtime as a lot of friends. I might actually be competing on the fencing team this year, but even if not, I'll be teaching the newbies, which I love.
I've been working on a Degrassi story. I actually wrote a oneshot but I'm gonna be editing it for a while and I want to write another multi-chapter one.
I haven't gotten that many reviews for my last chapter, but I'm going to post anyway, because I'm not going to have that much time during the week. Expect one chapter per week, as I still have a couple already written in reserve.
REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! please?

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel comin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord
People get ready
Train to Jordan
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among the love the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own soul
Have pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne

Chapter Ten:
"Of course, I trusted you. Like I said, it was better off that way. You were always different from the rest of us, with your sweet innocence, though I must say I prefer the Veronica 2.0 version; you kick ass now. I liked that you were and still kind of are, naïve, as it kind of gave us hope. You wouldn't have wanted to know about our world then, and I'm not sure you even do now."
"What about your flings? Why didn't you tell me about them?"
"They didn't really matter. Besides, you were close with Logan and that would have put you in a bad position. By the way, you and Logan are hot together. I'm so proud!"
"Why'd you do it Lilly?" Veronica wanted answers and she wasn't going to let anything distract her from getting them. "Why Aaron, when you already knew that he was a monster? How could you?"
Lilly just smiled sadly. Then she was gone.
Veronica awoke with a start. It had just been a dream, she reassured herself. It had been a while since she had thought about the day she met Logan and the start of the Fab Four Era. She missed those days; life had been so much simpler. She curiously half-sat up to peer at her surroundings. She was definitely in a hospital, as she finally noticed she was hooked up to an obnoxiously beeping heart monitor.
She hated hospitals. They were so impersonal and harsh. She noticed she was wearing an annoying hospital gown and quickly scanned the room for the bag of clothes. Weevil stood up from a chair in the corner.
"Hey V. You okay?"
"I will be once I get out of this place. Where's my dad, is he safe?"
"He's going to be fine. You can see him before we leave, but he's still asleep and they're keeping him for observation. Now go change, I won't peek." After checking to make sure (he was a guy after all) she started to get dressed.
"So tell me what happened after..." she trailed off.
"Dead boy and Rich boy ran away. It probably would've looked suspicious if Logan was found near the last place his dear dad was seen, and Duncan would have looked out of place if he stayed and they realized he didn't have any way of getting there in the first place. Anyway, the fine officers put out the fire and took you, your dad and the owner of the house to the hospital." When she was finished she made as if to leave, but Weevil stopped her.
"I had two of my boys look around for you," he informed her as he took something from his pocket. "They found these. It's up to you to decide what to do with them now."
It was the tapes, of Aaron and Lilly together. What am I supposed to do with these, she thought. Before, she had been planning to bring them in to the station and expose Aaron Echolls. But now that he was gone, because Logan killed him to save me, she had no idea if it was worth it. She didn't have time to think because Weevil quickly pulled her out of her room, down the hall and into her dad's room. She put the three pieces of evidence in her bag and sat down beside him. Weevil gave her privacy and went to stand guard.
"Hey daddy. You're going to be okay, I know it. I..." she was cut off by Weevil who had just spotted a doctor coming towards them.
"V, we gotta go. You're not supposed to leave yet and I'm not supposed to be here."
She knelt down and kissed her dad's cheek, then the two quickly left.
"I'll give you a ride home again, V, just hang on tight," Weevil told her as he handed her the helmet and they got on. As the world blurred by Veronica flipped open her cell phone and dialed.
"Hello, Mrs. Fennel? This is Veronica."
