Veronica, Logan, Duncan Triangle- Fan fic Part 6

A/N: Just to warn you. I am a LoVe shipper, but love DuVe as well, at least when they're together. So this is a mixture of both. Veronica is with Duncan, but there are moments with Logan. It's set in Season 2 between episode 6 and episode 7. Enjoy

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Veronica Mars or any of the characters, Rob Thomas does. But c'mon we need a movie already!

Previously on Veronica Mars...

But as he reached up for the next rung, his footing slipped, as the rung broke beneath him. He heard a scream and he assumed Veronica was scared he would fall. Scrambling, he clung onto the one above him with his hands as he tried to establish another rung. But there was none. Looking down, he saw a frightened Veronica hanging on to a rung that looked like it would break at any second whilst the rest of her body hung limp against the wall. Looking into her eyes, he swallowed,

"So I guess this wasn't my greatest idea ever."

Staring right back at him, Veronica struggled to hoist her weight up as she looked down to the ground and saw the rest of the broken ladder,

"Worst. Idea. Ever." She sneered.

"So gonna pull me up Spiderman? Or just leave me hanging?" She smirked at Logan, as he attempted to get into a suitable position to try and grab her arm. When he finally had her in a relatively safe position, they finished their climb, before lying on the roof.

"Well, that was fun." Veronica sneered at Logan who used his regular response; a roll of the eyes. Dusting off her knees, Veronica leant Logan her hand who just smirked,

"Yeah like you could lift me!" Before he headed off towards the biology block, but Veronica pulled him back,

"Shh, listen." She said pulling him towards the right. As he leaned towards the direction, he heard a distinct sound; one he hated. A gunshot and then a scream. Looking at Veronica he started to grab and pull her towards the biology block, but she pulled him towards the gym,

"What are you doing?" he shouted, using both hands to pull her, "Are you crazy?"

"No! We can look through the skylight and get a good look of the guys so we know who we're up against."Veronica sneered at him, but he pulled her back.

"You're not going Veronica, there's no way we could stop them even if we did know who they were."Logan pleaded with her whilst using both his hands to drag her away, "Must keep moving, dying not an option." He grunted, but Veronica just shrugged him off and ran towards the skylight that lit up the gym. As he jogged after her, she stopped abruptly causing him to send her flying to the ground.

"Gee thanks for that Logan." she smirked before pulling him down and watching intently as the following scene unfolded.

Veronica gulped as she saw a masked figure walked towards a crowd of about 15 students. The gym coach, Mr Farkwas, was lying on the floor, but from the lack of blood, Veronica assumed (more like hoped) that he was merely unconscious. Breathing heavily, Veronica eased open one of the glass windows, to Logan's mutters, and placed her ear to the window and recognised her best friend's voice even though it was rather muffled.

She could hear Wallace's shouts of letting them go, and then she heard a loud punch and a clutter along with a few girly shrieks. She searched for Wallace but could only see his legs; the rest of his body was flanked by a screaming Jackie. Veronica gulped, and attempted to swallow the tears whilst her whole body went stiff.

Feeling her body tense, against his side, Logan pulled her towards him and grabbed her hand, giving a reassuring squeeze. And at that point he felt the tears dampening his shirt, as the screams and cries for help below continued.

"He'll be ok Ronnie. I promise." Logan whispered, before cursing himself, knowing that he should never promise things he mightn't be able to keep. But Veronica was on the ball,

"How do you know that?" She said, and Logan could've sworn he felt her small smirk. Smiling to himself, he tilted her chin up so she was looking at him,

"I just do..." And he placed a quick kiss to her forehead, causing her eyes to widen like a deer caught in the headlights. Sitting there, staring at him, Veronica felt herself instantly leaning into him, as he did the same. And as he reached up to cup her cheeks, a loud bang and a shattering of glass, interrupted the moment, making Logan impulsively cover her small frame with his larger one. Veronica emitted a small yelp, before peeking through the skylight; no one was yelling, and all was silent.

"Guess it was a warning shot to them, not us." Logan said, reading her mind. Gazing down at her, she coughed and he rolled off her before waiting for her to pick herself up. But she just lay there, smirking slightly with a faux-annoyed look on her face,

"Be like a gentleman?" She said, gesturing towards Logan's hand. But he merely chuckled and put his hands behind his head,

"Er, chivalry's dead sugar." But she just sneered and lifted her up before they walked off towards the biology block.

"He'll be ok, y'know that right?" Logan offered, his hands in his pockets, some form of support. She had always been there for him; now it was his turn.

She stuffed her hands in her pockets and smiled a small smile,

"He better be. Or I'm gonna kick his basketball playing ass." Logan smirked in response, and Veronica mirrored his actions, "Didn't you know? Wallace isn't allowed to die." She said as they reached their destination.

She watched in amusement as Logan fumbled for a way for them to get down. After a very unsuccessful minute or two, Logan turned around and started to mumble,

"So yeah, there's no way we can get to their room." But she just pushed him aside, climbed the railing and lowered herself slowly over the side. Logan's eyes widened in horror, and he nearly yelled out, but she shushed him and below he heard the shattering of glass as she smashed open the window.

"Wow, you're little miss subtle aren't you?" He sneered, but closed his eyes as he followed her down and into the biology class.
