Chapter 15

"Logan, what happened to Veronica and why does she have ..." Lynn started to ask her son after seeing Veronica. She had waited until her son had taken his girlfriend to his room before asking about Veronica who she considered a daughter. Her voice was full of concern.

"I don't really know. She went to see Duncan and he apparently went crazy and starting choking her. I don't know what would have happened if Jake hadn't been there, she was so scared."

"I know what that's like; Aaron tried choking me. The first time, a few weeks after you were born because I couldn't make you stop crying. I was scare. I really thought I was going to die."

"You never told me that." Logan said shocked to hear what his father had done to her. "What happened after that?"

"He stopped suddenly. He found new ways of torturing me without leaving any evidence, bodily evidence, in case somebody saw them."

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because you're my son and there are some things that a child should never know about his parents. I'm sorry for putting you through this. I should have done something sooner."

"Mom, this isn't your fault. It's Aaron's fault, he is the one who is causing us pain, not you. You're his victim too! He doesn't hit you but he tortures you mentally which might be worst. But this is going to end soon, isn't it?"

"Yeah, two more months left before we can finally be free! Do you think you can wait that long?"

"Don't worry about that. I'm here to get a bottle of water for Veronica. Could you tell Keith Veronica is sleeping in the guest room if he calls to check on her."

"Sure, and whatever you do in your room, please make sure you're dressed by the time Mrs Navarro comes in the morning." She said with a smile, handing him a bottled water.

Logan winked and quickly left the kitchen. When he walked into his room, he found Veronica under the covers.

"What took you so long?"

"My mom wanted to talk, I couldn't tell her I didn't want to talk right now, but I'm here now. How are you?"

"Fine, I'm feeling better now that I'm away from the Kane's mansion. I don't understand what happened. One minute, I was talking to him and the next one, he had his hands around my neck. I have never seen him like that… he scared me." She said with tears in her eyes. Logan moved to sit on the bed next to her and hugged her.

"You should try to get some sleep and we will talk about it tomorrow, if you want."

"No, I just want to forget that it ever happened."

"Okay, I'm going to get you one of my shirts."

"Thanks, look in my bag there, there should be a pair of pants in it."

"Found it!" he said with a smile, he came back and gave her the pants and his shirt. "You can put your PJs in here or in the bathroom, either way I won't look."

"I don't believe you; I always look when I say I won't."

"I know you do, why do you think I never use the bathroom?"

"Pervert!" she said hitting him on the arm laughing. She was grateful because without him trying hard he made her forget for a few minutes what had happened earlier. "You can stay and watch if you want."

"I love you Ronnie."

"I love you too and thank you for putting up with my crazy life and ideas."

"Like I said, I love you and I'm ready to do all I can to help you and make you happy."

"You already make me happy."

"Well, you make me happy too. Now, you'd better start changing so we can go to bed."

"Okay." She said with a sly smirk. She took off her shirt and threw it on his head. She quickly reached for the shirt he gave her, but before she could put it on, he caught her by the waist and made her lie on the bed…

The next morning, when she finally woke up, she found herself alone on Logan's bed. There was a note left on his pillow saying he was in the kitchen making breakfast. She smiled and rolled over to read the note once more. Last night had been wonderful; Logan had made sure to make her forget about Duncan and what had happened at his house. She used the sheet to cover herself while she looked for his shirt; which she found behind the couch. She quickly put it on and joined him in the kitchen.
She found him singing along with the radio, while making pancakes, but when he turned around she couldn't help but laugh when she read what was written on his apron. She walked closer to him and hugged him, kissed him on the neck, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Why weren't you there when I woke up this morning?"

"I wanted to surprise with breakfast in bed, but like always you couldn't sleep in, could you?"

"No, you weren't next to me, that's what woke me up. One moment I had your arm around me, the next one I was all by myself in a king size bed."

"I'm sorry about that. I just wanted to make you breakfast."

"It's a nice gesture, I really appreciate it, I just wished you had been there when I woke up."

"Poor baby." He said kissing her; they were still kissing when someone cleared their throat. Veronica was the one who broke the kiss and turned to look at the person.

"Mr. Kane?"

"Mrs. Navarro told me where to find you; I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"Veronica and I were about to eat breakfast, you can join us if you'd like." Logan said with an awkward smile.

"Yes, why not, I still haven't eaten breakfast."

"Okay then, I'm going to get dressed." Veronica said, playing with the hem of his shirt. She quickly kissed him and left the kitchen. Breakfast was going to be awkward with her boyfriend and her
biological father.
