Her pale blue eyes widened and her hopeful expression twisted something inside his chest.

Where was the usual glare that called him out on his bullshit?

"Don't go reading too much into that… Meg told me you might be remembering some stuff… but we aren't friends… we don't even like each other anymore" Logan explained quickly and he watched as disappointment filled her eyes.

Why was he even talking to her?

Because Lilly would have wanted him to…

"What the hell did I tell you?" Wallace growled as he came back into the room. "I told you to leave her alone" he warned as he stood protectively over her shoulder and glared at him.

"Don't worry… I was just leaving" Logan told him as he picked up his bag and left the room again. In truth he was glad to get away from her… there had been nothing… nothing of the Veronica he knew in those girls eyes and he was trying to fight the lump forming in his throat.

Was she really just… gone?

If anyone would be able to get through to her it would be Duncan Kane.

Veronica looked at Wallace in surprise and her heart sank as Logan cast one last look at her over his shoulder, his brown eyes were unreadable.

"He was only saying hello" Veronica told him.

"Yeah well the last time I saw him say hello… he was using a crowbar to smash the headlights in on your car" Wallace explained as he handed her the small piece of paper with her login details. "He's Neptune Highs own personal psychotic jackass… those are your words, not mine"

Veronica frowned as she tried to absorb that information and form some kind of connection with the guy she had just met.

"We don't even like each other anymore"

"Why doesn't he like me?" Veronica asked finally, she barely knew him… but the rejection stung.

"He's Lilly Kane's Boyfriend" Wallace explained.

And I was her best friend….

Dinner that evening with Keith Mars was interesting; he was busy telling her stories about their various family trips and about the Mars Investigations Office clients, and how he had hired someone in temporarily to take her place as receptionist until she was feeling more up to it.

She was relieved to be back in familiar surroundings with less people, Meg was great and Wallace had always been around ever since she got out of the hospital… but the lessons were overwhelming, the teachers were sympathetic but she was just starting to realize just how much she had lost.

Home life was getting easier, they had found a little rhythm, but there were still moments that caught her father off guard. She wanted to get better for him… but the consultant Dr Sorrell still had no idea what had happened, or if it was going to happen again. Just to be sure, Veronica had started a small journal this time.

Dear Diary,

Day One at Neptune High… judgement is still out. I feel like the nice shiny new toy at the moment which wouldn't be so bad if I felt like I could trust most of these people. I wish I could remember something else… something helpful.

Met Logan today… apparently his dad is a movie star, I talked Keith {Dad} into renting a few of his movies, Breaking Point… it was okay. I can see where he gets those brown eyes from… there's just something really familiar about him…

Keith finally trusts me to remember my way home unsupervised, so I got to walk Backup all by myself earlier. Yay for Milestones!

I finally got around to googling Lilly Kane's name… there was quite a lot of press coverage… and turns out Keith used to be Sheriff of Neptune…. I really should stop digging into this. It's raising too many questions and there was a video link popped up… crime scene footage? Some things are just better forgotten. Going to a basketball game tomorrow night with Meg and Cole to support Wallace.

Bring on the normal… hopefully it will start feeling that way soon?

Caitlin sat on Logan's lap in the back of his car nibbling his ear while she slid his hands under her shirt. It was date night but so far they weren't at the movie's like he had originally planned.

"You are a million miles away" she complained as she sat back up.

"Sorry pumpkin…" Logan relented and gave her a weak smile. Honestly sex was the last thing on his mind.

"You are gonna be… take me home" she instructed as she climbed off his lap and crossed her arms.

"We could actually go to the movie?" Logan suggested.

"Why? You can sit and stare off into space right here for free" she pouted.

"I'm just tired" Logan sighed.

"You have been tired for about two weeks now" she complained, her pale blue eyes flashing at him angrily.

"It's this missing credit card… my dad's going nuts… the whole house is…" Logan excused.

That and worrying about Veronica…

"Fine… but you are making this up to me" Caitlin demanded as she climbed back into his lap.

"Don't I always?" Logan laughed as he kissed her and she lifted her dress to straddle him. The sex was brief and hurried but it seemed to leave her placated and she went home content, but it wasn't long before Logan let his thoughts drift back to Veronica.

"Maybe if you spend some time with her it could help Trigger something?"

He hadn't told Duncan about his little revelation with Meg earlier today, but he had seen first-hand how broken hearted he had seemed when he had attempted to talk to Veronica the following morning in Newspaper class only to meet the same reaction that Logan himself had experienced in the computer lab the evening before.

It was like someone had completely wiped everything from her memory.

"You knew she had amnesia man" Logan reasoned with Duncan as he stood quietly beside his Locker.

"Yeah… but you would think that there's some stuff… that you couldn't forget" Duncan sighed.

You mean, how could she forget you if she loved you?

"It's still early day's man… give it time" Logan said, patting him on the back.
