Last night:

"Duncan made me suck him off then when I tried to leave again he hit me and then Dick and Duncan raped me and those bruises and cuts were Duncan's doing, but I'm so sorry Logan." You cry, hoping he'll forgive you.

He looks blank and you watch as he digs his nails into his own palm and his knuckles turn white.

"Logan?"

"I'm going to kill him. I told him if he ever…ever hurt you again I'll fucking kill him. I'll murder that fucking bastard Veronica."

You believe Logan. How can you not with a look like that. But you don't want Logan to lay a hand on either of the boys because Logan will get into to trouble and you can't live without Logan now.

"Logan please. Just leave it. I'll report it to the police."

"Veronica, you've been through enough without having an interrogation. Just let me handle this okay?"

"Please, Logan don't." You say grabbing his shoulder.

He shrugs you off and gives you an icy cold glare and then turns around and walks back into the hall. You follow and watch as he approaches the boys laughing and then takes them outside the back with him. As you run around the back you see Logan's car jetting off with both the boys hanging their heads out the windows.

Oh no.

---

9.00pm.

Logan, Dick and Duncan are at a bar. Logan sits beside Dick who laughs as Duncan tells a joke. Logan watches as they carelessly live their moronic lives whilst he sits there contemplating whether he should kill them or not.

"Hey Echolls, what's up? You look kind of out of it." Logan's old best friend tells him.

"Yeah, I am actually." Logan replies, ordering another whiskey.

---

12.45am.

Duncan is passed out on the couch of Logan's hotel room and Dick is struggling to keep awake. Whilst the boys have had just as many drinks as Logan, Logan Echolls knows how to hold his alcohol and although he is struggling to stand straight he is far from passing out.

He sits there as Dick slumps over and finally gives into the alcohol.

Finally he gets up and moves to Duncan. He picks up the smaller boy in his arms, struggling slightly and then sits him on a chair and ties him up. As soon as he's done with Duncan he does the same with Dick and sits and waits for the boys to wake.

---

4.07am.

Dick stirs first, having consumed drinks with far less alcohol in them then Duncan and he immediately realises he can't move. Logan sits in his chair opposite the boys and stares at Dick trying to wrestle his way out of the tight rope around his wrists and ankles. He has no such luck.

When he looks up he notices Logan sitting there but as the light is scarce he doesn't realise where he is or if Logan is tied up or not. So he speaks.

"Echolls, you tied up man?" He whispers.

"No." Logan replies, keeping that scary and mysterious look about him.

"What? What's going on?" Dick's voice rises.

Duncan arises and his head shoots up and he almost tips himself and the chair over when he tries to move.

"Dick…"

"Logan's flipped Duncan, he's crazy."

"Crazy?" Logan laughs, but it's nothing pleasant, if anything it sends chills down both the boys' spines. "Fucking crazy? Would I be crazy if I was defending my fucking girlfriend?"

"Wha…What are you talking about?" Duncan stutters.

"You…and you. I told you…if you ever, ever touched her again, I'd goddamn fucking kill you."

"We didn't touch her Echolls." Dick pleads.

That's when Logan throws his first punch. It hits Dick right in his jaw and the crack of bones is clearly heard.

---

6.25am.

"Fucking." Logan's foot collides with Duncan's shin and then again and again and again until Duncan's eyes are tear filled.

"Please." Duncan pleads.

"No." He punches the boy over and over as Dick watches on, scared for his own life.

When Duncan is so hurt that he can't move anymore Logan unties him and throws him across the room where he runs into the wall and almost knocks himself unconscious.

"I told you." Hit. "I." Hit. "Fucking." Hit. "Told." Hit. "You."

Over and over again Logan hits and kicks Duncan, leaving a bloody broken boy on the floor barely alive. When he's satisfied with Duncan he unties Dick and starts brutally beating the other. But it's not as bad as Duncan. Dick suffers not even half of what Duncan has.

But eventually both boys lie on the floor barely breathing.

---

9.15am.

Logan hears Veronica pull up into the car park her car screeching to a stop. She notices his car and examines what a mess it is. Blood everywhere.

Logan sits against the counter, his knees hugged to his chest, staring blankly at his mess. His mess.

Flash backs of him trying to kill both boys replay in his head over and over like a mini movie. It's slowly torturing him.

And then the door opens and Veronica walks in. She stops for a brief moment and looks at Logan, but he doesn't look at her. He can't face her. What a horrible monster he is.

She tends to Duncan, checking his pulse. It's barely there.

Logan doesn't speak or look or help as she tries to check if they're alive.

"Logan I need to know what happened." She says to him.

She dials for an ambulance but your head is a mess. Hit. Punch. Kick. Kill. Hurt. Blood.

"Logan please, I don't need this right now." She pleads.

He doesn't talk. He hates himself for not telling her because it's true she's been through enough without him killing two of her childhood friends. Her father's just died and she doesn't need to witness another two deaths in her own house.

The police and ambulance officers arrive and Logan gets taken away quickly.

---

Present time.

You finally wake from a 6 hour sleep. You barely remember the events of last night before Weevil came over. You remember calling Weevil and crying in his arms as soon as he got here.

As soon emerge from your bedroom dressed in a pair of pink cotton pyjama pants and a singlet top Weevil notices you and picks his head up from scrubbing the carpet trying to erase the blood.

"Good morning." Weevil greets, placing the carpet cleaner and scrubbing brush on the bench.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to get the stain out of the carpet…I tried but I don't think it's coming out."

You look down at the several small spots of blood on your carpet, the rather large one where Duncan was lying and the few splotches on your couch.

"Hey, don't worry, V. It's all okay. If you want we can go see Duncan and Dick today…and I'm sure Echolls will be fine. He's got a good lawyer, god knows his money can buy one." Weevil attempts to cheer you up.

"I'm sure." You sort of smile.

"Why don't you go shower and get dressed whilst I run home and get a fresh pair of clothes?"

"Okay."

"I'll be back to pick you up in half an hour." He says, kissing your forehead.

You watch as Weevil leaves, wondering if maybe he'll disappear like all of your other friends have at the moment.

---

Half an hour later Weevil shows up dressed in a slightly darker pair of jeans then he was yesterday and a discoloured black t-shirt. He grabs your keys off the bench and locks the door after you exit.

"Want to take your car or do you want to ride my big ol' hog?" Weevil smirks.

"My car." You tell him, trying to really smile.

When you arrive at the hospital you wonder on whether you should visit them or not. Why should you really? They raped you. But your boyfriend beat them half to death. You sit in the car staring at the hospital.

"We don't have to go in today, Veronica."

"I…I want to."

"Alright. Well take your time."

A few minutes later you unbuckle your seat belt and climb out the car, making your way to the hospital entrance. You arrive at the floor Duncan and Dick are on with Weevil by your side.

"Can I help you two?" A nurse at the station asks.

"We're looking for Duncan Kane and Richard Casablancas." Weevil says for you.

The nurse looks down on a sheet of paper and clucks her tongue.

"Mr Kane is still in surgery and won't be allowed non-familial visitors until further notice. Mr Casablancas is available though. Would you like to see him?"

"Yes. Please." You reply gripping onto Weevil's jacket.

As the nurse starts to wind through corridors and pass various rooms you start to feel faint and wander in and out of your own world before the nurse catches your attention.

"Alright, stay out here for a second and I'll just see if he's up for visitors. May I ask your names?"

"Veronica and Weevil." You respond.

The nurse walks in the room, you hear her ask Dick if he's up for the visit, he replies but his words are mumbled through the door.

"Okay. You can visit." She says as she leaves the room. "Any problems and just press the red button beside the bed."

You walk in and are shocked to see Dick there with a cast on his broken arm and a few stitches above one of his eyes. His face is badly bruised and he still has dry blood on his lower lip.

"Hi." You say softly, taking a seat next to his bed on one of the chairs as does Weevil.

"I'm sorry Veronica. I…I don't know what else to say."

"No. I'm sorry that Logan…you know. I should have stopped him. What you did was wrong but Logan…Logan could have killed you."

"He should have finished the job." Weevil snarks, clearly wishing that Logan had finished the job.

"Weevil…" You start.

"No, V, it's alright. He's right. I'm scum. Logan should have finished the job. Have you seen Duncan yet?" Dick asks.

Your eyes wander around the room nervously, not knowing how to tell Dick that his best friend is still in surgery and still critical. You see a police officer talking to a nurse not so far from Dick's room and you know that it's for your statement.

"He's still in surgery Dick. They've not changed his condition either. We're not sure if he'll…um-"

"Make it?" Dick replies, clearly choking on his own words.

Suddenly a knock disturbs all your thoughts and the police officer along with a nurse enters the room.

"Veronica the officer would like to talk to you and Dick it's time for some rest. Your friends can come back later."

Weevil places his hand at the small of your back as he directs you out of the room and into the clean, white and silent halls of the dreary hospital.

"I'll be over there V if you need anything."

You nod in his direction and turn your attention to the officer.

"You're Veronica Mars correct?"

"Yes."

"You were the girl sexually assaulted and raped by…" He pauses to look at the names on his sheet. "Richard Casablancas Junior and Duncan Kane?"

You gulp as the realization hits you. It's only then that you've heard someone actually confirm, that yes, you were in fact raped by your first love and the boy you used to be best friends with when you were younger. The two guys you used to trust more than anything raped you and sexually assaulted you.

"Miss Mars?"

"Yes. Yes, they…they, raped me and, and…the other stuff."

"Alright. We're going to have to take you down to the station for some more questioning now Miss. You do have the right to a lawyer in this questioning and the right to dismiss any questions we ask." The officer says as you both start to walk down the corridor.

Your head feels light and funny and for a second there you almost faint. Weevil glides by your side and holds your arm tightly, steadying you. If that wasn't scary enough, how the hell were you, Veronica Mars supposed to afford a lawyer? Sure you could have the free ones, but aren't the payed ones better?

---

Down at the station you see Logan in one of the overnight cells. He's asleep, his head against the wall and his knees brought to his chest. He still has blood splattered on his expensive shirt and probably even his pants and you can see how tired his face is.

"Through here Miss Mars." The officer says, directing you into one of the private rooms.

As soon as your name is said Logan's head shoots up and his eyes lock on your own, but only for a second for you are too afraid of what you'll find if you look to closely or too long. You turn your head and grab onto Weevil's jacket fiercely.

"I'm sorry Miss Mars but he won't be able to come in with you. You are allowed a call for a lawyer but I see you've already got one." The officer says pointing to a suited man waiting in the conference room.

"Hi, Peter Richards."

"I…I didn't call…how?"

"Logan Echolls phoned, said someone close to him needed a good lawyer."

You smile slightly and sit in one of the chairs across from the officer.

"Okay, I'm going to put this tape on as a recording of the conversation for court if you decide to press charges Miss Mars. Please speak up and make it clear what you are saying."

"Okay."

"Let's start from the beginning, Veronica. What were you doing?"

"I…I was supposed to be at Wallace's-"

"Please state who Wallace is for the record Miss Mars."

"He's my best friend. I was supposed to be there studying, that's what I told my…my dad. But I went to my boyfriend's house, Logan Echolls instead. We were studying and…and Wallace called. I thought at first maybe my dad had called him and Wallace had spilled but then when I answered Wallace didn't seem happy at all."

"Go on."

"So I asked him to tell me what was going on. And he did. Turned out my dad was in a car crash and he died. Logan wanted to know what was going on but I couldn't…I couldn't…tell him. I don't know why, I was confused and angry and upset. So instead of sharing with him what I was going through I left."

"What happened then Miss Mars?" The officer continues as he writes notes down as you speak.

By now you are sobbing and struggling through sentences.

"I rang Richard Casablancas junior …also know as Dick and asked to see him. I'm not sure why though. I think…I think because…because he was not Logan and I needed to talk to someone who wasn't Logan. So…I…I went to Dick's and he was with Duncan and when I walked in…in Dick's room Duncan and him were…together…sexually."

"Duncan whom Veronica?"

"Duncan Kane."

"Okay, please continue."

"When I tried to leave, Duncan…he came after me. I stopped but then I started to go again. That's when he grabbed my arm and dragged me up the stairs. I…I don't know why but I didn't scream or try and resist. I was in so much shock from my dad…I really wasn't sure what was going on."

The police officer notes more things down on his pad of paper. You realize that you've let a couple of tears stray from your eyes and that you're slightly shaking.

"We got to Dick's room and he pushed me to my knees and pulled down his underwear. I tried reasoning but he shoved his…p…penis in my mouth." You sob quietly. "I went along with it and then my phone rang. I knew it was Logan and I wasn't wrong. Dick answered my phone and then Duncan started groaning and yelling out my name."

"Do you remember what he said exactly Miss Mars?" The officer asks.

"He told me to keep sucking and said my name. I…I don't remember exactly. Sorry."

"No. Don't be. Please continue."

"I heard Logan call my name but Duncan wouldn't give up and he told me to keep going and then said I was getting him off good. Dick hung up and then Duncan pulled away and came over my face. I asked to leave but they wouldn't let me."

The lawyer soothes you by patting your back.

"That's when Duncan slammed me against the wall. I hit my head and Dick said something but I'm not sure. I tried to leave once again and then Duncan's hands wrapped around my neck…I couldn't breathe. He pulled down my pants as Dick watched on. I tried to say his name but he kept holding tighter."

"What happened next?"

"He…he…he pushed inside of me." You cry.

"It's alright Miss Mars, take as long as you need."

"Dick tried to tell him to stop but Duncan wouldn't. He told Dick to have a go. So he did. It wasn't as forceful as it was with Duncan though. I was yelling out stop over and over but they wouldn't. Duncan said I deserved it for cheating on him. For hours they kept taking turns and hitting me."

"And then what?"

"Dick and Duncan fell asleep but I was tied to the bed. My phone rang. Duncan answered it. It was Logan again. Duncan lied about me being there and then hung up. I asked him to let me go again but…but he wouldn't oblige and fell back asleep. A few minutes later Dick awoke and untied me. I left as quickly as possible. That's all."

"Okay. Thank you Veronica. We'll be calling you in a few days possibly for information on the bashing of Dick and Duncan. For now you can go home and get some rest. We'll question the boys and you can decide what you'd like to do."

You get up and the lawyer directs you out of the conference room. Logan is standing at the bars waiting for you to submerge. As soon as you're out Logan looks at you and calls your name.

"Veronica! Please talk to me…look at me!"

For a second you look up but you are still afraid of what you'll find. So you walk quickly to Weevil and ask him to take you home.

"Please Weevil. I need to go home. Please." You whisper, crying.

"Alright, V." He says stroking your hair.

You walk out of the police station quickly. The whole ride home you are silent and so is Weevil. What is going on? Will it ever be the same again? For once in your life you do not know anything about anything.

Sorry for th super dooper long wait on this guys. As life goes school started back a month ago and I've been really busy with homework so I've barely had any time to think let alone write a half decent chapter for you all.

Hoefully the homework will lessen a little and I can get another chapter up before I go to Greece at the end of next month.

Read an Review.
