Your phone rings, it awakes you from your peaceful sleep with Logan. In fear of waking up your sleeping boyfriend you scurry to silence it. You pick it up from your bag and look to the caller ID, clearly displayed is your dad's name. Hesitantly you answer it in the kitchen and keep your voice low.

"Hi" Your voice is emotionless.

"Sweetie, where are you? You didn't come home last night"

"I'm with Logan"

As you've said before, you do love your dad but sometimes he annoys you. Like now. You know your dad doesn't like Logan and he certainly doesn't approve of you sleeping with Logan, but you love Logan and your dad is not going to get in the way of that, no matter what.

"Oh. Will you come home please? We need to have a talk Veronica"

"I'm busy dad. Can't you say whatever it is you have to say to me over the phone?"

"I'd rather say it in person, Veronica"

"Well maybe I don't want to see you right now"

There's a long awkward pause.

"Why'd you do it?" He questions.

Because you don't love Duncan? Because you were bored? You don't have an explanation, it's just Logan. There's always been this unspoken passion between you both and you never acted on it because of Lilly, then she died and you stayed away from both Duncan and Logan. Then when you started seeing Duncan again and you spent more time with him and Logan you felt that passion stir inside you again.

"I don't know"

You see Logan arise form the bedroom in just his boxers, you smile at him, your eyes lower to his boxers and you lick your lips tastefully. He asks who's on the phone quietly and you mouth your dad.

"Please just come home, Veronica. Maybe we can sort this mess out"

"Mess?" You ask, getting angry as Logan looks at the menu for breakfast.

"This Logan thing you've gotten yourself into. People are calling you a slut sweetie"

"Dad, this Logan thing I've gotten myself into, happens to suit me okay? I like being with Logan"

"Veronica, I'm telling you to come home. I want you home in half an hour"

He hangs up. But you are not going home.

"What'd your dad want?" Logan asks, chewing on chocolate from the mini bar.

"He wants me to go home" You sit up on the bench.

"Really?" He smirks, standing in between your exposed thighs.

"Mhmm"

"Want some breakfast?" He kisses your lips. "It should be here any minute"

"I see something much more appealing" You tell him, slowly snaking your hand into his boxers.

"Veronica…" You think he meant to say that in a hardened tone, but it comes out as a moan.

"Fuck me Logan"

He growls and steps away. You pout mockingly towards him. His eyes soften when they reach your face and all he can do is apologise.

"Later maybe. We have to get to school. Your dad will kill me if you skip school with me"

"F.Y.I, Logan. My dad already hates you. He wants to kill you anyway. What does it matter?"

You watch him closely for a few seconds. He looks almost adorable when he thinks and you can't help but smile at your boyfriend.

"I'd love to stay here fucking you Veronica, but if we don't go to school people are just going to keep talking"

"So? Let them talk. I don't give a fuck anymore. I just want to stay here with you"

There's a knock on the door and it opens almost immediately. A bell boy with a trolley comes in. There's fresh fruit and two trays atop the trolley. Logan gives the bell boy a tip and wheels the cart towards the bench where you are still seated.

"Breakfast?"

He picks up a strawberry and bites it then puts it in your mouth. The strawberry is sweet and tasteful, much like Logan sometimes.

"We should start getting ready" He says in between bites of a freshly cooked pancake laced with maple syrup.

"After this" You say, taking the lid of the other tray and revealing a plate of bacon and eggs.

---

You see the 09ers at Duncan's locker as you arrive at school. They laugh as you walk past them. Logan soon follows behind you, but stops as soon as he hears your name amongst the boys.

Although Logan was the leader of the 09ers, Duncan was certainly the next in line for leader of the pack and the boys disagreed with Logan fucking his best mate's girlfriend. Therefore Logan became an outsider to them.

"Echolls man. Stopped fucking the slut yet?"

Punch. You spin around. Logan's hand retracts from Dick's face. You gasp at Dick's large black eye.

"That so called slut Casablancas, is my girlfriend"

Duncan's eyes widen and you can see the hurt behind his beautiful eyes. You never intended on dating Logan. You never intended on cheating on Duncan in the first place. This wasn't some sort of plan you constructed in your spare time. You just hope Duncan knows that.

Logan goes to pin Dick up against the locker. You stop him.

"Logan"

He turns to you immediately.

"Your bitch is calling" Dick spits.

Before Logan leaves he slams Dick against the lockers, you hear Dick give a loud grunt as his organs ache inside himself.

He catches up to you and slings an arm around your shoulders. You feel everyone's eyes on you and Logan. You are uncomfortable with having that many people stare at you. Logan notices and takes his arm from your shoulders, apologising and then kissing your head.

You come to your locker and open it. Logan waits patiently as you place your bag inside. There's a note inside, but you dare not open it in case it's hate mail and Logan goes to beat up the person who sent it.

"Logan, um I think I left one of my books in your car. Would you go get it for me?"

"Sure baby"

"I'll meet you in English"

You are hesitant to kiss him in front of people, but eventually give in and place a soft kiss on his lips. He tries to deepen it but realises you are uncomfortable with that. As he walks off you quickly open the white piece of paper.

We need to talk. Meet you in the computer tech room first period.

Even though it's not signed you know it's from Duncan. The computer tech room was where you and Duncan once skipped class to make out.

---

Logan is sitting in the desk beside yours. He's busy scribbling useless drawings onto a note pad. You are trying to listen to the teacher but all you can think about is meeting Duncan. Should you go? If you do will Logan suspect something?

Before you have an answer for yourself you stick up your hand. The teacher sees it and asks you what you want.

"May I go to the toilet sir? I'm so busting"

He reluctantly agrees and you jet off out the door in a hurried attempt to meet Duncan.

You get to the computer tech room quickly. Your hand reaches for the door knob but something stops you. All of a sudden it opens and you are met with Duncan's sad face.

"I thought you weren't coming"

"I'm here"

He walks inside and you follow into the darkly lit room. He sits on a desk at the front, you keep your distance and sit on a chair at the back of the room. You don't have much time, you need him to talk and talk fast.

"What did you need to talk about?" You ask.

"Logan. Us. Everything I suppose"

"Duncan. I know what you're thinking. You probably think I cheated on you because I loved Logan. You're wrong. The first time was a stupid mistake and I should've told you and ended things with Logan, but I couldn't. Then we broke up and I felt all these feelings for Logan and all I wanted to do was forget everyone and everything and Logan –" He cuts you off with a kiss. You didn't even notice him getting closer to you.

His eyes close. Yours are open. This is different. Cheating on Duncan, you wanted to. You closed your eyes when you kissed and you willed him on. Cheating on Logan, you don't want to. Your eyes are open and his are closed. You're not willing him on. You want him to stop.

"Duncan" You gasp, pulling away.

"What? You can cheat on me but you won't cheat on Logan?"

"I…I just don't feel that way about you Duncan. I care about you, but not like that. I'm sorry Duncan"

He pulls you up and slams you against the wall. Your back makes a thud sound. His hands move to your breasts and his lips lock onto yours. This is making you ill.

"Duncan" You manage as he gropes you.

As if he only just realises what he's doing, he stops and steps away.

"Oh god. Veronica, I'm so sorry. I…I don't know what's gotten into me…I miss you so much and…fuck. I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry" You say. You almost choke on your own words. "For the Logan thing I mean. You deserve better than me Duncan"

He laughs. It's a cold, hurtful laugh. You've never seen a malicious side to Duncan, or not one like you're about to see. He backs away from you and spits on the ground.

"I bet Dick $50 I could have you on your knees sucking me off"

"But…How could you?"

"How the fuck could you Veronica?"

"I…"

"Logan!? Logan fucking Echolls? I fucking trusted you, you whore"

"Duncan please"

You've never seen Duncan so angry. You're scared. You want to run, all you can think of his running to Logan, into his strong arms and never leaving. Oh god, where is your Logan now?

"Slut" His words burn you.

"Shut up" You say, trying to fight back the tears.

His hand moves to your face and he grips you tightly. You can't scream or cry or say anything. Everything seems to fade from colour to black and white as you see an enraged Duncan handle you so carelessly, with such anger and hurt.

"Fuck you Veronica Mars"

He slams the door on his way out. You quickly retreat to class before the bell rings. Logan seems to be the only one who notices how long you were gone.

"Where were you?" He asks as you step out the door towards your next class.

"I had to deal with something"

"With what?"

"Nothing. I'm okay"

"You're okay? What happened?" His eyes turn dark. "Did Duncan hurt you? I'll fucking kill him if he did"

"No…we just talked"

"Don't lie to me Veronica. Fuck" His knuckles turn white.

"Logan please. Let me deal with this okay?" You kiss his cheek.

"I love you, you know?" He reassures you.

"I love you too"

He goes left and you go right.

---

The end of the day approaches you fast, you barely notice when the bell rings for the end of school. You quickly scramble your things together and hurry to your locker. Maybe you can get your things together before Logan gets there and talk to Duncan…or not.

"Hey baby. You ready to go?"

"Um yeah"

You gather your things. Logan grabs your hand and holds it in his as you two walk down the halls to the car park. You see Duncan and the rest of the 09ers on your way out. Duncan mouths 'fuck you' to you, the rest of the 09ers don't say anything. Logan can be a powerful man.

Logan and you make it to his car without any hassles. By the time you get in the passenger seat Duncan appears at Logan's door.

"Hey Logan, look about this whole thing between you and Veronica"

"Duncan" You warn him.

"No, I'm cool with it Veronica. I don't really care. If you guys want to get it on then cool"

"Really Duncan? Are you sure?" Logan questions.

"Yeah man, don't worry about it" Duncan pulls something out of his pocket. "I'm having a party on Saturday while my mum and dad are away. Here's your invite. Hope to see the both of you there"

He leaves just after he finishes his sentence. This doesn't make sense.

"That was nice of him" Logan studies the invite as he starts his car.

"I don't know. I think he's up to something"

"Veronica…"

"No Logan, listen. When I went to meet with Duncan during class we had a talk and he's not cool with this. He made a bet with Dick…that I would be on my knees sucking off Duncan as soon as I had the chance…I didn't but he's so not cool with us"

"Fuck. You really think so? I mean, maybe he's reconsidered?"

"I don't think so"

"I do. He's probably realised his actions and gotten over"

Before too long you arrive at your house with Logan. You need to get a few things before you return to the hotel with Logan…just a few clothes and some other stuff. When you open the door with your key, your dad is not home, lucky for you.

"I really don't want to go to Duncan's party. He's probably going to play some awful prank on us Logan"

"He won't"

Logan follows you to your bedroom where you throw a few bits and pieces into an overnight bag.

"He could and then we'll be the laughing stock of the whole fucking school"

"Baby, don't worry about it. He won't, trust me. I know Duncan, Duncan wouldn't do that to you, to me. He's forgiven us"

"You sure?"

Logan grabs you and pulls you close to his strong body. He kisses your forehead softly.

"I'm sure"

---

Friday night. You haven't stopped worrying about Duncan's party the whole week. Duncan has been acting nice all week, passing by you and waving. Even his 09er buddies had stopped harassing you and Logan. Still, you couldn't get the feeling that Duncan was planning something out of your head.

Currently, your head was lying on Logan's lap whilst you and him were watching TV at the hotel room you and he were still staying at.

"Logan?"

"Yeah?"

"Do we have to go to Duncan's tomorrow?"

"Yeah we do"

"Why?"

"Because if I'm going to get back into the 09ers I have to go to this party, Veronica"

Your head pops up quickly and you sit up, staring at Logan angrily.

"So being back in the 09ers is more important than our relationship? Real smooth Logan"

You get up and throw a pillow at his gorgeous face. It misses but he still groans. You briskly walk to the bedroom and start furiously throwing off your clothes.

"Veronica…" He groans tiredly.

Ignoring him you walk into the bathroom and start the shower. You try to ignore the fact that he's still following you even though you've made it clear you don't want to talk to him right now. This is the first fight you've had with Logan all week.

"Veronica. C'mon baby, you know it's not like that"

The hot water soothes your aching body. Life with Logan has been stressful so far. Every day something irritates you about him and you try to ignore it. It's like walking on egg shells around him.

He enters the bathroom and takes off his shirt, his muscles flinch at the cold air. You like his body. He keeps his eyes trained on you and yours are trained on him. Carefully he bends over a little and un does his pants, slowly they become discarded on the cold floor. You stare at his crouch that has grown a little as he watches your naked body.

"I love you, you know that. If I thought Duncan was up to something I wouldn't want us to go. But baby, he's not"

He's naked now, he gets in the shower with you and pushes back your wet hair that clings to your face.

"He's up to something Logan, I just know it"

"Stop worrying" He smiles. You frown. "There's nothing to be worried about"

"There is. You just don't get it Logan"

"Don't get what? That everyone thinks you're a slut?"

Slap.

"Sorry" He says, rubbing his sore cheek.

"You can be such an ass Logan"

You go to get out of the shower but Logan stops you with his hand. He pulls you back and your back hits the cold shower wall. You flinch under his grip, but he doesn't let go.

"I'll never let him hurt you Veronica"

"Okay. Let me go"

He kisses you hard. You reciprocate the kiss, your hands trailing down his body to his now hard cock. His hands gently rake over the skin on your arms. You shiver under his touch. He kisses your neck softly in return.

Soon his fingers find themselves inside you as your moaning for release. Your hand finds its way to his erection; you pump it slowly, waiting for his release.

---

Late at night you get a phone call. It's around 2.00am. You are wrapped in Logan's arms with the blankets tangled around both of your bodies. Your hair is still damp from the shower you shared with Logan.

Quickly you scramble to your feet. In a lazy attempt to hurry to the kitchen you trip and stub your toe on the couch. A curse escapes your mouth as you pick up the phone.

"Hello?" You whisper, not bothering to see the caller ID.

"Hey Veronica"

"Duncan? What the hell are you doing calling me at…" You pause and look to the clock on the microwave. "2.00 in the fucking morning?"

"I wanted to talk"

"To me? Are you drunk? High?"

"I have an idea. I'm with Dick right now, we're horny as fuck baby. Why don't you come over and show us what you got?"

"Oh with Dick. So you've been drinking?"

"Just a little. C'mon Mars. You know you want to"

"Look Duncan. Why don't you just leave Logan and I alone okay? I get it. You hate me and you hate Logan"

"What?"

"Your party. I know you're planning on making us look like idiots in front of everyone"

"Ha ha. Baby, I wouldn't do that to you"

"You wouldn't?"

"No"

You hear footsteps coming from the lounge room. You turn around and see Logan running his hands through his messy hair.

"What are you doing up?" He asks you.

You put your phone on loudspeaker. Duncan speaks.

"Stop being bitter Mars. Dick and I just want to get off. We won't tell Logan" His voice is loud.

"Duncan" Logan speaks, you hear the anger in his voice.

"Echolls? Where's Mars?"

"I'm here" You speak up.

"Oh. Am I on loud speaker?"

"Yeah" Logan sighs.

"Sorry man. I was just joking. Dick and I have been drinking. Don't listen to us. So you guys coming to my party tomorrow night?"

"That would be tonight Duncan" You tell him.

"Yeah, whatever. Are you coming?"

"Yeah. We can't wait" Logan says, taking you in his arms. "See you tomorrow Duncan" He hangs up the phone before you can protest.

Logan places a kiss on your forehead and drags you to the bedroom. You will seriously kick Duncan's ass if he tries to do something tomorrow. You've had enough of everyone's shit right now.

A/N: Had to break this into two parts. Sorry guys. It woulda been hella long otherwise. Promise to update soon. Reviews are appreciated.
