Chapter 2

Veronica just found out that logan was seeing someone when he told her that he loved her...or he did anyway. From veronica's POV

she didnt know what she was soo angry for, it's not like they were getting together, or he wants to be with her...well he said exactly that but how could he say it when he was going out with ashley. it hurt...she ran to her room just as she herd logan drive out of the drive way and up the street. she didnt even bother having dinner or changing her clothes, all she wanted to do was sleep, she was so tired. the events of the day poured out on her as she layed down and the last thing she saw was the light of the lounge room flooding into her room.

Thursday morning

Veronica didnt care look at logan that morning when she walked into school, she didnt want to see the person who had hurt her so much with only words. she walked straight to wallace and sat down,"Wallace, since when do i care what logan echolls says??", she asked him without paying any attention to the stares she was getting from people all around her.

"Hey to you to, umm to answer your question, i'm not sure you ever did, why would you ask that?",He asked looking around to find out what the hell she was talking about.

"Because i realised last night that...I love him", she said in a whisper, looking across the table towards him. "Okay, i'm deffinetly missing something here, did you just say that you love logan?!",he asked looking into her eyes and realising that she was serious,"wait...are we talking about the same logan",he asked again. She Replied with the only word she had left,"Yes...".

"What happened to you, what did he say, what did he do...this time?", wallace asked with a heap of concern in his voice and across his face.

"I'll tell you later...meet me at my place this arvo and i'll tell you the whole story, i promise", she added when he raised his eyebrows.

"Okay supafly, Head up, i gotta go but i'll see you later aiight",said wallace as he walked away towards jackie and the office. Veronica looked around and all these people were staring at her. She got up and walked towards her car just as she saw duncan, logan and ashley walking towards school. Logan saw her and told ashley and duncan he'd catch up in a moment.

He walked over to veronica just as she opened her door. "where do you think your going?", he asked seriously, grabing hold or her elbow. "umm Let me think, I'm going somewhere where you, duncan, ashley or any of the other 09ers are, Happy??",she asked,"Now Let me go thank you very much", she said as she wriggled out of logans grip.

"Look veronica, I dont know what you have against me but it has to stop, You dont need to go away just because i'm here!",he said and took a step back.

"No...No logan thats where you, my friend, are very wrong, you lied to me, i thought i had some sort of trust with you but now its all gone and i cant even stand here without trying not to collaps. You know what you've done so dont try and pretend that you dont... i'm really sorry to stop this lovely conversation but i should be going",she added with a fake smile, still not looking at logan. She jumped into her car and was about to put the keys into the ignition when logan snatched them out of her hand."LOGAN, give me my keys!!!!", she shouted, finally looking at his face and saw that there was a purple spot under his eye, which made her forget about what was happening at that very moment."What the hell happened to you",she asked befor he could say anything to stop her. "Nothing, i just fell over, thats all", he said as he tried to cover it up.

"Logan, we both know i'm not that stupid, now tell me whats going on", she told him sternly.

"1 word veronica, No", he said as he handed her the keys and started to walk off...veronica got out of her car slightly taken aback. She thought about running up to him but then thought better to just leave him alone now. she went back to her car but didnt get in, she locked it just as the bell went she ran off to class. All she could think about was logan and what happened to him.

Once class was over she called logan on his phone...you never know where that boy is these days she thought to her self. He picked up and said," what do you want?". "God",Veronica said into the phone,"You sound so nice today ,dont you? Actually what i wanted to talk to you about needs to be done in person and i need to do it now so where are you?", she said quickly so that no one around her would fine out who she was talking to. "Why does it have to be now?Cant it wait? I'm a little busy about now", he said back to her.

"No it cant wait, what are you so busy with thats stopping you from seeing me??", she asked. "Never you mind, okay i'll meet you by my locker in about 10 mins", he replied.

"Thank you, i'll see you then", she said as she hung up and started to wounder what he was so busy with but then went to see if wallace was alone before she went to see logan and he wasnt there at all. i wounder were he is she thought...oh well i'm to busy now, i'll find out later. She walked along the corridor leading to the marine ed room which was closed but that didnt matter, she wasnt going there anyway. She stood by logans locker until she turned around and saw him walking towards her from the far end of the corridor. She started walking towards him, looking him up and down. "Hey", she said once she was walking by his side. "What do you want?", he got to the point straight away."I want to know why you have that bruise on your face", she said to him, not quite sure that he was going to tell her though."Veronica, you are nothing to me anymore, You dont understand that i'm taken, your not suposed to be caring for me...I dont love you anymore", he finished...those last 5 words tore her apart...shattered. She burst into tears, she couldnt stop. Logan walked away and didnt look back, She didnt understand, he was right, she wasnt suposed to be caring for him anymore...she didnt care for him anymore, then why was she crying??? i do, i care she thought, thats why i'm crying...this is what it feels like to have your heart broken...it hurts...so much.

After School

Wallace was coming over in about 5 minutes. He just called to say that he had left his place. What was she going to say to him, about how logan had told her he loved her and then said that he was going out with ashley. how could she explain it. She didnt want to go back to school, after all the comments made about her after she ran to her car with tears streaming down her face...all from those things he had said to her. Knock Knock Knock..."Hey V You In there?",Wallace asked through the glass. time flew by, he was here already. She could see his outline against it. "Yeah, Its unlocked...let yourself in",She replied to his question. Wallace walked in and sat next to veronica on the floor. She had her hair down and her mascara was running down her face."Logan Hurt you, huh??", He said wiping her tears away.

"Yep",she said in a small voice and nodding slightly. "What did he say?", Wallace asked as he got up and went to the fridge, picked out veronica's favourite ice-cream and 2 spoons.

"that he didnt love me anymore...and that i shouldnt care...and that i should give up",she said as wallace sat down and opened the ice-cream. He got one big heaped spoon and handed it to veronica."Thanks for coming here wallace...i would've asked someone else but they all seem to have gone...or they're busy".

"I'm never to busy to look after my best friend so dont worry anymore", he said, reassuring her that he staying,"come here", he finished and pulled her into a big hug and let her cry onto his shoulder. when all the tears were gone, she went and cleaned herself up. "Thanks Wallace, Logan's a jerk", she said as she sat down next to the empty ice-cream container. "so are you coming to school tomorrow???", he said, very concerned with his best friends life at the moment."Yeah, i better cos' i have a due date thing so mmm...", she said as the phone rang,"Oh better get that". she ran to the phone and picked it up. It was duncan,"Hey Veronica, what happened with you today...all i heard was that you ran out of school at lunch". mmm...hmmm...she thought, he would know! "Nothing, just something that went on between two friends was all...wallace is here, i'm fine",she said back at him. The last place she wanted to be now was talking to duncan, her ex.

"okay, but call me if you need anything", he said before he hung up. the last thing she was going to do if she needed anything was call duncan. Why was he suddenly so protective?

"Wallace i think you should go...i need some sleep, thanks for everything though...it was really nice of you to come around", veronica said as she opened the door and wallace walked out nd turned around,"Well, call me if you need anything, anything at all, from the ice-cream to a piece of fruit". Veronica watched his mum drive out of the drvieway and up towards the mall.

Friday morning

all she could hear around her was people laughing at her, all she could see was people pointing at her. She turned around to greet wallace but at the same time she saw logan and ashley in each others arms. She wanted him so badly and he did want her, but now he doesnt. What happened? She shook herself back to reality and sat down at her usual table with wallace. "How You doin' today V?",he asked her, looking around and seeing weevil come towards her,"Weevils coming by the way".

"To answer your question, I'm fine", She said with a smile as weevil sat opposite her,"To answer yours...oh well i cant!?". "Foget it, You Wouldnt need something like this in your life,"said weevil as he stood up and walked away. WHAT?", She shouted at him and stood up. he turned around and started walking towards her. she realised that he wasnt walking he was limping. "They got me, veronica, the PCHers got me. like you said they would. I need you to find out why they've done this. They wont talk to me anymore, all they do is beat the shit outta me whenever i walk past", he explained.

"Damn, I'm gonna need 50 bucks though...if you really want me to do this", she said business-like.

"I was really hoping you'd do this for free", he hoped that she would but wasnt quite sure.

"Okie Dokie...for free, You've got to be kidding me...,"she said with a laugh...but seeing the look on his bruised face she added,"Alright, i'll do it, but only for you...no one else got it? Now what do you want me to do for you?".

"i want you to find out why they want me out and why they hate me all of a sudden",He said faster then normal.

"Right, okay...I'll start this afternoon. i'll call you when i'm done",she finished the conversation with a smile as weevil walked away.

"What did he want this time?",asked wallace as they both sat down together.

"To Bust up some news about the PCHers and why they hate him",she replied with a smile,"So original huh?".

"Yeah, That would be typical weevil, always into trouble",he laughed off the comment.

"There's the bell, shit",veronica said saldy, she didnt want to go to class because she knew that logan was going to be there. i'm not going to cry, i'm not going to do anything to him, talk to him, involve him in anything today she said to herself, and sure enough he was in class sitting down near ashley and duncan. Veronica chose a seat right at the back away from everybody but the spaces between her and logan began to fill with other classmates. at the end of the period, veronica got up and walked out just before logan and ashley. they followed her all the way down the hall, she could feel logan's eyes on her, then they turned off to go towards the carpark. why did she want him, instead of someone else. she had never thought about him before...when he was single, and now he's taken. I think about him day and night. I couldnt have him...ever. He Hated Her, why? She was going to find out. tonight.

fiday Afternoon

She had planted a microphone on thumper so she could find out why they hated weevil and she was sitting on the couch listening to it when someone knocked on the door. She could see the outline but she had no idea of who it was.veronica jumped up and walked to the door. she opened it as Ashley said,"Hey". "Ashley? What are you doing here?",She said stunned. "Its about logan, I'm not here to be mean or anything but can you please lay off. He's taken...by me", She said and looked at veronica's stunned face. "i know, I'm not really that stupid. But you wouldnt have any idea about why he suddenly hates me do you?",she asked. "No, You might have to ask him that",She added as she started to walk away," Bye".

"Oh, Thanks Anyway!", She whispered after she closed the door. So ashley didnt know why he hated her, veronica picked up the phone and dialed logans home number. No answer.

She dialed his mobile. No answer again. She thought about it more and then called duncan."Hey Veronica", He said,"Why did you call?".

"I called because i need to talk to logan, hes not picking up any of his phones so i thought he might be with you", She said hopefully. "Umm...no He's not here. Maybe you should try his home again, or his mobile. Oh i gotta Go. Bye Veronica",he said just before he hung up. She Thought she herd logan's voice in the background but she didnt want to seem like a stalker so she went back to her laptop and started listening to thumper and his other PCHer friends.

Hey, they were talking about weevil. "He's ratting us out, believe me",thumper said to another PCHer. "Come on, You dont really think that he would do that do you?", veronica wasnt sure who it was but he didnt sound so nice. She picked up her phone and dialed weevils phone number. "Hey weevil, I've got something you might wanna hear, Come round as quick as you can alright?",she said as thumper started arguing with the other PCHers about weevils trust and wether they should get him again. "Yeah, i'll come now, see ya", he said and then hung up. she kept listening to the PCHers and then it went quiet, Then all fuzzy . Someone had found the Microphone. She was dead. Weevil was dead. it didnt go back on. She saved the conversation as 'weevil's case' and waited at the door until weevil came around. He pulled up on his motobike and pulled off his helmet,"What happened veronica?" He asked as they walked into the living room in her house.

"They Found the bug i placed on thumper, they know it was me...the conversation is saved onto my computer, here i'll show you", veronica added as she went and opened up the case voice file. It started replaying everything that they talked about until they found the bug. "I knew it, they think i gave away their meeting place and now they want to get me for it, if they come after you tell me, or tell them to come see me", Weevil said as he sat down with his head in his hands. "What do you care if they come after me...wait, you dont like me do you?", she asked sitting oposite wevil and staring at him."So maybe i do, Its not like you like me instead of logan".

"How do you know about logan", She asked taken aback but still curious about who had told him. "Come on V, it's so obvious, the way you stare in his direction every lunch hour, and why he's talking about you nearly 24/7", he said finally taking his head out of his hands and instead, he looked at veronica. "You got me".

"I Better go, thanks for everything and for doing this just because i asked you to, your a good friend veronica", he said as he left. those last words left veronica's heart feeling warm. She was a good friend...that meant so much to her. Now, back to reality...wait, did weevil just say that logan was talking about her nearly 24/7? He did. veronica's heart lept over a couple of imaginary chairs and fell a few steps.

She dailed logan's mobile and he picked up this time,"Hey Veronica, Why did you call me before? Is something wrong?".

"No...No nothings wrong...ahh i just wanted to ask you a couple of questions...about me!? is that ok?", She was wishing that she didnt ask him now, or even ring him but the feeling of hearing his voice was amazing. "Yeah, Thats totally fine but can you hurry up cos i gotta work in about 20 mins and i'm still not ready!!", he said urgently into the phone.

"ok, Number 1: Why didnt you tell me you liked me before when duncan and i were going out?", she asked logan. "Because i was in fear of making a fool of myself because i knew you like duncan more then me, next question", he said quickly. "Number 2: Why dont you talk to me or even look at me in school now?", veronica asked, she wanted to know the answer to this question for ages but she was to scared to ask him in person. "All the 09ers hate you veronica, if i want to be an outcast then i'll be friends with you", he sounded mean when he said that...he wasnt angry, he was mean.

"Oh yeah, thats right, only go for the 09ers huh, no one else, not even me. just give me up like a peice of jewelery your giving as a present, only to find that they hate it, just like every one else hates me", she wanted to slap him, make him feel the pain she had just felt, through those words. "Veronica, it's not like that, i am your friend but we cant be seen talking to each other in class or it would just look like",he was cut off by veronica,"So just because all of the 09ers hate me does that mean you do to?",She was almost crying but she didnt want to let them fall, it was like watching logan win his race, which wasnt going to work. "Veronica, i have to go, I'll call you after work, or stop by...which one?",He really had to go. He wanted to go and see veronica, to hold her, to look into her eyes...but he knew that he couldnt do that, he was still hitched to ashley, even though he was only going out with ashley to make veronica jealous. It worked in the wrong way, It made veronica...hurt. "Yeah, sure come by but only if you get rid of your girlfriend, I Wont have you in my house if you have a girlfriend. i'm sorry, i have to go aswell", she burst into tears, she was sure that he loved her...and she loved him. She fell asleep on the couch only to be woken by logan at the door. she was happy to see him but does this mean that he had dumped ashley? She couldnt find out if she didnt open the door,"Hang on,"she yelled. She looked in the mirror and saw that she looked like shit. she had mascara lines all down her face and her eyeliner was running so she quickly cleaned herself up and ran to the door. "Hey Ronnie",Said logan with a smile. "Hey Surfer boy",she smiled back. veronica lead the way to her room and they sat on opposite ends of her bed. "I thought i wasnt allowed in until i dumped ashley",he asked, concerned with the way she would handle the joke. "You dumped her right, thats why your here", she asked, her thoughts not allowing her to see what she feared most.

"Relax, I dumped her...For you", He said slowly.
