Veronica and Backup took their time getting home

Veronica and Backup took their time getting home. After running far enough away from Logan they slowed their pace and just walked home. Backup was content just being out and Veronica allowed herself to get lost in thought. She was doing that thing that any teenager would be doing in her shoes: running the conversation over and over again in her head trying to find any hidden meanings to what was said, trying to judge what the reactions he had meant, decide if his touches meant anything more than what they were, touches.

In reanalyzing everything she realized only one thing, one thing that she was told by Alice as well as Wallace, Logan did love her. Not only that he loved her a lot and it showed in the way he spoke, the way he looked at her, the way he touched her, but mainly in the way he acted around her. It was as if he wanted to tell her more of their history but something was hindering him. It obviously wasn't that he was afraid of hurting her because he admitted to sleeping with someone she hated. That was about as bad as a thing you could do to someone at the age they were. If he could admit that then what was he hiding from her? What was he trying to protect her from? Was it her he was trying to protect or himself?

Before she realized it she was home. She unlocked the front door and let Backup off of his leash and went to the kitchen to make herself a hot chocolate. It seemed that it was one of the only things that could help her sleep. Not that sleep came easy to Veronica Mars; especially after tonight's conversation with Logan. She couldn't stop thinking long enough to actually process any of her thoughts. She left the conversation with more questions than she had answers.

She wanted to know why she'd break up with Logan after finding out he hooked up with someone while they were broken up. She obviously harboured ill feelings for the girl he was with in order to break up what seemed like a perfectly happy relationship. She couldn't get the image of her and Logan out of her head. They looked so happy, so content in the picture in her camera. She didn't need to hear people tell her how much Logan loved her she was able to see it, whats more is that she was able to see how much she loved him too.

She sat at the kitchen table and took the notebook out of her bag and started to flip through the notes. Veronica noticed little doodles in the margins. She glanced at the date that the notes were taken on, and the most recent were from five weeks ago. The same time she got into a coma. She scanned the lines trying to find something that didn't make sense and that's when she quickly realized that nothing made sense.

"What are you doing," Wallace's voice said startling her. Veronica jumped a bit before she was able to place the voice.

"Looking over some notes," she said while sliding the notebook across the table to Wallace to have a look at, "This is dated the same day I got into my accident," she pointed to the date when something else caught her eye, "Look, I didn't finish taking my notes. Like I left abruptly or something." She showed him how the last sentence she had written was incomplete and as if she was stopped suddenly.

"Maybe the bell rang," Wallace prompted not really convinced that anything was out of the ordinary.

"No look," she flipped the pages of her notebook for him to see, "every single date I have notes on is at least 3 or 4 pages long, this one is only a quarter of a page. Something made me leave class," she said using her deductive reasoning skills.

"Man, with or without a memory you just can't take the detective out of you," Wallace said with a laugh.

"Whats that supposed to me," she said quizzically.

"It's just that there has always been a detective in you. Since the first time I met you, you've always been sniffing out crimes, trying to find out who did what wrong. It's just in your blood." He looked at her as if she was a slightly different person from the person she was a few minutes ago. "I wonder if you still have your abilities," he said almost cheery.

"What can I leap over tall buildings in a single bound," she asked suddenly very amused, "Am I faster than a speeding bullet, can I stop bullets with my ch-"

"Okay so maybe abilities was the wrong word," he cut her off. "It's just that you've always been this super sleuthy person, all stealth like and crime solving. You just have this knack but at times your imagination is over active. Like, thinking that writing a half page of notes is a clue to something strange. Did you ever stop to think that maybe you preoccupied with something," he asked.

"Super sleuth, that sounds so cool. I wanna be that again," she quipped. "Preoccupied with what," she asked when her mind wandered off to her situation with Logan. Out of all her guests he was the one that was on her mind the most. She craved to know their entire story but if seemed that the more questions she asked the less answers she got and ended up with even more.

"Hello, Earth to Mars," Wallace said waving a hand in front of Veronica's face. "I was just talking to you and you disappeared."

"Uh sorry, listen I'm going to go to bed now. It's late. Tomorrow I'll have a new set of questions for you." She said as she stood up and gave him a kiss on the cheek before making her way to her room.

A/N: I know that this is a really short chapter and its taken me forever to do this but I've been feeling under the weather lately and this chapter is just setting up the other storyline.
