Chapter 6

Logan parked his car in the Kane's driveway, happy to see the limo was not there, which meant Duncan's parents were not home. He locked his car and walked towards the door, he knocked twice before walking in, not waiting for someone to open the door, he saw Duncan near the pool and went there.

"Duncan." He said, pulling him out of his thoughts. He sat on the chair next to him. "How are you man?"

"Fine, so what brings you here?"

"I wanted to talk to you, I saw Veronica at the beach and…"

"Please tell me you didn't do anything stupid again!" he said angry. Logan looked at him surprised, he knew Duncan was still Veronica's friend and they still hang out but he did not know why he was reacting so violently.

"No, we talked that's all we did. Did you know she is moving?"

"Yes, her aunt asked her to come and live with her in San Diego; she accepted her offer a few weeks ago, after one of your friends did something again. I guess you can be happy, you've managed to get rid of her, she is out of your life for good."

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked hurt, his best friend knew she was leaving before him but he never told him.

"Because I saw how much she needs to get away from this town, especially you. I'm surprised it took her so long to realize you weren't worth it, you are my best friend but you never deserved her, she is too good her, no you aren't good enough for her."

"Why are you telling me all these things now, why not before?"

"I never told you these things before because you made her happy but then you broke up, I was afraid you would blame her and try to make her life worse. I feel sorry for you, you had a great girl who loved you but you've lost her and you will never find another girl like Veronica."

"You are saying that but you've never tried to stop me."

"I tried at the beginning but I stopped when Veronica asked me to because she didn't want me to have problems with you, but now she is leaving Neptune, I can tell all the things I've wanted to tell you and nothing will stop me. Logan you are an asshole, you've hurt her like no one has, she hates herself for loving you whereas she should hate you because it's all your fault, you've made her life hell and you enjoyed it! She is leaving the only place she calls home because she made a mistake at fifteen, going out with you, she should have said no, I told her to say no but she didn't listen to me."

"What?" he asked shocked.

"I never wanted her to go out with you, I have tried to convince her to break up with you several time."

"How could you do that, I loved her! You know that, I thought you were my friend."

"I'm your best friend Logan so I know you, I know how you act around girls, and I didn't want Veronica to be hurt by someone like you. I've never trusted you completely with Veronica, I knew you would do something stupid and hurt her, you've proved me right. I should have put an end to this when I had the chance, you don't deserve a girl like Veronica, and she is too perfect for you."

Logan jumped on Duncan and hit him, Duncan punched him in the stomach, they were still fighting when Jake Kane came home. He ran to them and tried to separate them, he pushed his son away and held Logan.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Ask your son."

"You know I'm right, Veronica is too good for you, she should have left you before you broke her heart. I really hope she will never come back to Neptune and she will find someone in San Diego, someone who won't be like you."

"I love her!" Logan yelled angry, he tried to go towards Duncan but his father held. "I love Veronica, why can't you see that?"

"Because Veronica is an angel and you are the devil, leave her alone, don't ever come near again or I will make you pay, friend or not. Leave her alone Logan, this will be your only warning."

"I'm sorry but that won't happen, I love her and I will make her fall in love with me again, I will prove her that I can change for her and I will. If you want to kill me then do so, I will even buy you the gun."

"Logan please don't do this, let her be happy, don't ruin her life again. She wants to be happy and she won't be if you are in her life, don't you think she has already suffered with Lilly's death? Your break up?"

"I want to make it up to her."

"She won't forgive you, please she is my little sister, I don't want to lose another sister."

"What?" he asked surprised, he pushed Jake's arms and walked towards Duncan who was standing over the pool. "What do you mean she is your sister?"

"Her mother had an affair with my father and she is the result of it."

"Does she know it?"

"Yeah, Lilly and I told her when we learned about it. We had a DNA test done, we talked her into doing it, it took us four months to convince her to do one. She is a stubborn girl."

"She never told me you were more than friends."

"We were the only ones who knew the truth, Lilly, Veronica and I. Keith still doesn't know, she doesn't want to tell him."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"It was our secret, we understood each other better than anyone, we knew each other's secrets and we were best friends. We couldn't let you in, I didn't want you to know, I knew you wouldn't stay around and I was right. I don't even want to imagine what you would have done with that news; you would have killed her because her father would have never been able to deal with the consequences of that revelation. Listen Logan, it's late, you should go home, there is nothing more to add to this conversation."

"You are right." He said somehow sad. "So are we still friends or not?"

"Right now, I don't know. You've hurt her bad, because of you she's moving to another town, you have to understand me, she is my little sister."

"Yeah." He took out of his pocket a white envelope and gave it to him. "It's from Veronica, I got one and she asked me to give you this one."

"I will see at school."

"Yeah."
