Chapter 3

"For...me?",She was thinking so hard her head hurt. logan was in love with her and yet she found it hard to believe him...how was that possible."I Love you, veronica,"He said leaning in to kiss her. She pulled away and looked at him,"Why do i find that hard to believe?",She asked as she stood up and walked into the bathroom looking for some pills to stop the headache that was forming in her right temple. "Whats so hard to believe, Those words you have wanted to hear for so long?",He said looking her up and down. "how do you know?",she said at once, thinking of what she and weevil had been talking about just before she left. "Come on Ronnie, Its Obvious",He said with a laugh. "That obvious",she moved closer to logan, looked up at him,"I want you logan, and i dont know how i know it but i need you, your all i think about, its you i need...i Love You". she didnt know what was going to happen next but she could feel the blood rushing through her mind. veronica put her arms around logan's shoulders and moved so close that she could almost kiss him, and thats exactly what she did. She kissed him, the passion flooding through it. logan put his arms around her waist and pulled her close. they moved into her bedroom and onto the bed. She pulled her top off and kissed him again. she placed her hands underneath his shirt and lifted it off. They were both shirtless at that point. what happened next felt awesome.

2 Hours Later

she felt him move next to her. veronica was thinking about what has happened about 2 hours ago. She felt loved. For once in her life a boy loved her for being who she was and not just to get her into bed. she smiled and slowly, making sure not to wake him, crept outside the room and into the kitchen. Her dad was home, his car was in the driveway but he was sure to leave in about another 2 hours no doubt. He never stayed home more then 4 hours at a time and it must only be about midnight. She went to the fridge and opened it, the light of it made her blink several times before she could actually see again. she grabed the orange juice from the top shelf and pulled a glass out of the cupboard. she went back into her room and went into the far corner where her laptop was. It was also where she kept all her books to. Most of them where crime and Drama books but the one she started reading only a few short days ago was a romance. Not veronicas type but she loved this book. She turned on her lap, making sure not to wake logan and sat down. Starting to read chapter 3 in her novel. time flew by while she was reading this book, when she looked up over the top of her book she saw that it was almost daylight outside. Veronica looked at logan and saw that he was still asleep to. She heard her dad's car go out the drive way and faded into the distance. she returned to her book not bothering to check whether her dad had left any sort of note but she doubted that he would anyway, These days they hardly have time to talk, let alone write notes to each other so she let the thought slip from her mind.

"Bookworm"Said logan as he moved over onto the other side of the bed, the one closer to veronica.

"How Long have you been watching me??",She asked smiling, but she got the fright of her life.

"about 20 minutes, you really like that book huh?",he said.

"yep, its not my style but i like it", veronica said with a wink and continued,"What do you want for breakfast?".

"I thought i wasnt allowed breakfast until i was cleared with Mr. Mars?", he joked.

"He's gone out...again",Veronica said as she marked her page and stood up. She walked over to logan and sat on the end of the bed, kissing his lips and asking him again,"What do ya want?".

"Umm...Toast!!", he said as he got out of bed and started getting dressed.

3 days later, at school

so he thought he could sleep with me and then ignore me?...veronica was sitting at her original table looking at logan and all his 09er friends. He had ignored her when she said hi to him and even whispered to his friend that she was a loser. Why?? she was going to find out, NOW. She walked over to logan and grab his arm. "what are you doing veronica?", he said to her as every one stared in their direction. "I Need to talk to you...now",she said as she pulled him away from everyone. "Veronica, whats going on?", He asked as she let go of him and turned to face him. "Why are you ignoring me and calling me a loser when you said it yourself that you loved me?", she asked while the tears came into her eyes. "You know i have to pretend i hate you", He said looking back at the 09ers,"You know i dont...".

"i do, i guess i'll be your ticket to freedom...after school, then you can tell all your 09er buddies what good sex you had with "some chick" on the weekend", she said, sollowing some tears. Everyone was looking at her now. they were making quite a scene,"Come on lets get outta here, We'll be back before class...i promise". They didnt even get their stuff as they headed towards logan's car. "You Drive buddy", veronica said as she wiped away the tears and started laughing. "Where are We going?", he asked as they started up the car.

"Ummm...", she was thinking about her place but there was always a chance that her dad was going to walk in on them,"Lets try your place".

So thats where they went, logan's place. She didnt know what she was doing. They needed to talk...Badly but she didnt know why she dragged him away and was about to take himself to his place. She was dizzy.

She focused herself once again on the road which was leading to logan's place. They pulled up infront of the hotel logan lives at and stopped. "Why are you acting like such a jerk?",She asked, while he opened the door.

"What, at school or now?", as they walked through the double-doors.

"Everywhere,"she said, stopping in her tracks,"why dont you just accept that you dont love me enough to make 'us' public".

"I want to, but---",he got cut off by veronica.

"But what logan, scared your gonna get kicked out by the 09ers just because of me?",she stated to him. veronica couldn't have made it clearer. He cared more about his rep. then he did of her. How sad! "yes, Thats exactly why i dont want to make us public, i'm saving both of us with public humiliation."

The conversation had caried them into the elevator and logan pressed the level 4 button. "okay, i'll make a deal with you, Either we become public or we're not together at all".

As the level 4 door's opened they walked off onto the landing.

"Thats a really hard thing to do veronica...to be accepted by the 09ers and then get kicked out again", he said, unlocking the door and walking into his apartment. veronica sat down on the couch and watched him get 2 cups out of the cupboard and fill them up with coke,"come on ronica, how do you expect me to be your boyfriend and be friends with the 09ers at the same time??", he asked, while handing her the cup and sitting down opposite her.

"Logan...logan...logan,"She said, shaking her head and accepting the glass,"I made you a deal, my friend, either you accept it and we go back to school a couple...or...,' she went on pointing a finger at him," i walk out of here slightly disappointed at me wasting all my time on you, and definetly disappointed in you for letting me fall with no intention of catching me, So...Which one is it??". He looked at her with confusion and then replied,"wow, You actually had me there,"he added with a smile. "Logan, i'm being serious, you can either accept me or leave me."

"i'll think about it!", he said as he grabed the 2 glasses on the table infront of him and started to walk towards the kitchen. he wrinsed out the glasses and put them back in the cupboard. "You'll think about it, no logan, this happens now", she said with the look on her face to melt ice. "Alright, I dont want to hurt you veronica, i love you---",he was cut off by her.

"You love me but you wont stay with me because of people who only love you for your money?? Logan, thats stupid, your stupid, they're stupid, i'm stupid for even thinking that you would. I cant stand looking at you anymore...",she got up and was just at the door when logan said,"Wait veronica, just...wait".

"Wait for what logan...what exactly am i waiting for?", she asked. He couldnt expect her to be his plan B. It didnt work like that for her. it wouldn't, Ever. she turned to look at him. he sighed deeply and she walked out. She waited until the doors were fully closed to start crying. How could he do this to her. It wasnt fare. He used her. No one would know how she felt at the moment. No one...except for mac. The only girl friend she had...and trusted. She ran into the parking lot and realised she had no form of transport back to school. She did have her mobile though. She flicked through her contacts and found mac. She wiped away the tears and dialed Mac's Number. Veronica herd mac say hello to her and then replied with,"Mac, your one of my best friends, i really need you to pick me up!".

"Oh,"Mac said, slighty stunned and taken aback,"Oh yeah sure, where are you?", veronica heard macs car go beep and knew that she must be ready to start up the car. "Umm...logans place...",She said with a kind of knot forming in her throat again. "Okay, hold on, i'll be there in about 2 minutes, bye,"Mac said before hanging up. "Thanks, Bye".
