Hi, sorry for the lack of updates, I'm updating in the morning before school and a test because tonight I'm going out with some friends and I don't really know when I'll be home, it could be around one am just like it could be 4 am lol.

Chapter 21

"What are you doing here?" Lynn asked him from the doorway. "I thought you were coming back next week."

"Yeah, but we wrapped the movie sooner so I came home, I didn't really expect to find Veronica in Logan's room. When I left, they weren't together."

"Well things change."

"I noticed it."

"Good, Veronica you should go downstairs, Logan is waiting for you in the kitchen, he sent me to get you."

"Thank you Lynn." She said with a smile, grateful to get out of the room.

"You're welcome."

"I love your mother! If you asked me to marry you right now, I would say yes in a heartbeat." She said with a smile. Logan who was standing in front of the fridge turned over to look at her.

"What happened?"

"Aaron Echolls happened, your dear father is home and he found me in your room."

"He was hitting on you?"

"Not this time, but you know how much I hate being in the same room than him. Every time I see him I think to what he does to you and I hate him for that."

"I know baby." He said hugging her, he kissed her on the cheek and made her sit on a stool while he was making her refreshment. When he was done, he put her drink in front of her and sat next to her, he watched her drink.

"What? Do I have something on my nose?"

"No, why are you asking?"

"Because you're looking at me as if I had something, now spill the beans!"

"I was just watching you, you're stunning."

"Thanks." She said, looking at her glass, blushing. Logan put his hand under her chin, to lift her head, to get her to look at him, he put his lips on hers.

"Dick called me this afternoon, while you were in my room, he's organizing a party this week end, do you want to go?"

"I don't know, he wasn't really friendly towards me before I moved, but if you really want to go, I guess I could make an effort for you. If you want to go to his party, then count me in."

"No, it's okay, we can spend the evening together, it doesn't really matter because I didn't really want to share you with other people."

"You're selfish, aren't you?"

"Yeah, and I'm proud it." He said with a wide grin. She hit him on the arm when he tried to put it around her shoulder.

"I should go home, my father is going out of town so he will want me home, if you want you can come over, we'll order in and rent a movie or two."

"He's going after Duncan, isn't he?"

"Yeah, Jake found something on his room and he is going to Mexico, he texted me earlier. So do you want to come over or not?"

"I will be there with the pizza and the movie."

"Okay, see you then." She quickly got up and kissed him on the lips before walking towards the door, she waved at him on last time before walking out.

Veronica was setting the table when she heard the doorbell, she glanced at her watch and realized it was almost seven, it must be Logan. She quickly dried her hands and went to open the door, she was surprised when she saw who was on her doorstep.

"Wallace Fennel, what the hell are you doing here?" Veronica asked him, hugging her best friend. She smiled at him when she broke their hug.

"It's Friday, the 9th of July, remember, you've invited me last week."

"That's right, I'm so sorry, I forgot. So many things happened in my life lately that I totally forgot you were coming."

"What's wrong Veronica?"

"Too many things, to make a long story short, my best friend is missing because of something I told him and his father asked mine to find him." She said, not telling him the whole truth, there are some things that are better be left unsaid, like the guy missing is her half brother or that his father is also her father.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Logan is helping me to go through everything, he's been my rock since the beginning, he know all there is to know. Believe me Wallace, you don't want to get involved in this."

"Veronica, I'm your friends and I just want to help you."

"I understand, but this is a little bit too much to handle, even for me, you're better off not knowing what's happening in my life."

"But…"

"You should believe her; you don't want to know what's going on here." Logan said from the doorway, he walked into the living room and dropped the pizza along with the DVDs on the table. He quickly kissed Veronica and shook Wallace's hand.

"Why do you know what's happening, and I don't? I'm her best friend."

"Yeah, I know. But the guy who's missing is my best friend, he is also Veronica's oldest friend and by taking off he caused many problems because there are some things we'd like to keep secret, and with Duncan running away that's not going to be easy."

"What are you hiding?"

"Wallace, please drop it, I don't want to talk about it. This last two days have been crazy, Logan and I just want to relax and enjoy a nice evening. You can stay if you haven't changed your mind after hearing what I just told you, you can sleep in my room and I will sleep on the couc…"

"No way!" Logan said. "Wallace will sleep at my house, there is more space and we have several guest rooms. You can also come, I don't like it when you're alone."

"My father will be there this night and I've got Back up."

"Ronnie…"

"Logan I will be fine, Wallace you can sleep at Logan's if you want."

"I don't want to bother you or your parents."

"It's okay, my mom won't mind as for my father he usually doesn't care about what I do, as long as it's not illegal and worth being publish in People."

"Thanks man." Wallace said with a smile.

"You're welcome, now what about eating these pizza, I'm hungry and so must be Ronnie."
