Chapter ten people!
The doctors wanted to keep me for the night, to make sure I was alright. Both Wallace and Logan we're glad about that, me? Not so much… But I get why they wanted that. And a good night of sleep can't do me much wrong. They let me out in the morning and I went back to the apartment. They wanted to give me some pain killers, but I didn't want to drug the baby... And I've known worse. I was more than happy when I got back at Logan's apartment. Trina was still there, she had slept in the other bedroom.
"Omg Veronica! You look terrible!" She said like I didn't know that. Of course I look terrible, you don't get in a car accident everyday…
"Omg Trina! Really, she just got in a car accident and you can't find anything else to say?" Logan said as soon as those words had passed his sister's lips. I look around the apartment, and noticed something missing.
"Oooooh noo! Where is Backup? He was with me yesterday! Please tell me he didn't stay in the car!" Poor dog!
"Don't worry, he is… Well, let's just say he isn't far from your car…" Where is my dog? I looked at him and lift my eyebrow up.
"Logan, the woman wants to know where her dog is…" Trina wasn't a big fan of big hairy things.
"Veronica needs to rest, not to worry Trina…" He said like a was something fragile that could broke at any time.
"I need to know where my dog is!" I say. I can't stand people who talk about me like if I wasn't there.
"I guess you can't always have what you want…" He answered. Because he thinks that is going to be enough?
"Trina? Can you give me a ride to campus?" I say. If he doesn't want to tell me where Backup is, I'm going to find out by myself.
"He's with Mac." With Mac? That's means he's with Parker!
"What? Backup is in Mac and Parker's room? She threw a stone in my window and you trust her with my dog!" Keep calm, I had enough stress.
"Mac isn't going to let anything happen to him." Sure, he's with Mac. Mac is my friend, she wouldn't let Parker do anything to Backup.
"Right, Mac." I say.
"So, I'm going out, take care of my niece you people!" Trina says taking her purse.
"Are you coming back are do I have to wait for a Christmas card?" Logan asks his sister putting his arm around me, like he was trying to protect me from the entire world.
"I love you too little brother… I'll be back round dinner, which I'll bring… Want something special?" Dinner?
"You'll bring dinner? You'll pay for it?" Logan asks her.
"I do have money little brother, you do remember I'm in a movie…" That sure will have brought her up some money.
"Fine, so, what do you want for dinner tonight?" Logan asks me…
"Why do I get to choose? Trina should take something she wants…" It's her money, she get to choose. I would offer to pay my part, but I'm pretty sure they'll both give me that look…
"Pizza?" Trina said. Pizza? That'd be perfect! "Any preference?"
"Cheese! A lot of cheese!" I say.
"Cheese? It's a good thing you're pregnant, because that sure is a calorific bomb."
Wallace brought me back my car in the afternoon. He wanted to stay, but I could tell he hadn't enough time to do small talks, beside Piz took him up to bring him back to the campus. I was in the living room then, I was hoping he'd have brought me Backup back. But he had no idea he was with Parker. When Logan saw I was getting stressed up, he offered to go get Backup. But not trusting Parker, I insisted to go with him. I was resting if I just was sitting in the car… My head was aching but I didn't want to say that to Logan. He was already thinking I should spend the rest of the day, week, month probably even year in bed… He hadn't any other choice, so he took me back to campus.
"stay inside the car Veronica… I'll be right back with Backup." He said. He walked out of the car, and felt the need to lock me up inside. Like if I couldn't unlock it from the inside. I was listening to the radio for like five minutes, when I saw Madison Sinclair arrive at the campus. She wasn't staying on the campus, so what was she doing here? I wanted to walk outside the car to follow her, but I saw Logan arriving with Backup… I kept an eye on Madison till Logan got near the car.
"I need you to do something for me!" I say as soon as he can hear me. Backup was so happy to see me that he almost jumped inside the car, and to land on me. It's a good thing Logan opened the door before he could.
"Sure, what is it?" He asked.
"You have to follow Madison Sinclair and tell me what she's doing and who she's seeing…" If we don't go faster I'm going to lose her out of sight.
"Why?"
"I'll tell you later. Now go, please… I promise I'll tell you later!" I say and point Madison out. She's almost inside one of the buildings. He nods and runs toward Madison.
He came back after one hour. He had been texting me all along to keep me up to date, and I hadn't left the car.
"I'm happy to see you're still in the car…"
"I promised I would." I keep my promises. "So, where is she now?" I ask him. She didn't came back to her car, so she's still somewhere on campus.
"She went into a room, and I'm pretty sure it's not to study…" I think I know what she's doing in there.
"So did it help or did I just follow her for nothing?" Once you did much more than just following her… I really should stop thinking like that about him. We're starting over right?
"Well, I think I know how she's cheating…"
"That's why I spied on her? Because she's cheating?" He makes it sound like something dum…
"One of my teacher asked me to prove she was cheating in her class…"
"Okay, I have no idea why she wants to know that, I'm pretty sure one third of your class is cheating…" I know that, but if I can prove Madison did something wrong, I'll. It's not like if I carry her in my heart or anything.
"Are you? Cheating?" And with that, I didn't mean on me.
"I did, but not recently." Not recently? So knowing him, maybe he was just one week ago.
"And how would you cheat?" I asked him as he started the car.
"Right now? I think it's better if I show you. Let's get home."
Backup was happy to be back at the apartment. Logan insisted on laying myself down on bed before he would show me how he would cheat. And, since I was feeling tired, I did. Not to make him happy, but because I knew it was the best thing to do.
"That's how I would do it." He said giving me a bottle of water.
"What I'm I supposed to do with that?" I ask him. I'm not thirsty, and didn't ask for anything.
"Look at the etiquette." He told me. Backup joined us in the room and jumped on bed right next to me. Looking at the etiquette, I couldn't find anything. It seemed to me to be a normal etiquette. But, when I looked at the ingredients, I saw it.
"Everything you need to know is on it! I'm sure you'll have a good grade for your economy class…" I tell him.
"That's not mine, its Dick's. He forgets it two weeks ago." Dick's? Sure.
"Do you think that's how Madison's does it?"
"Well, she sure has the money to do so." That's how that guy managed to have one of the best grades in my criminology class! I knew he couldn't have had such a grade just by studying.
"Do you know where to get these?"
"I have no idea."
Trina came back with two pizza's just in time. We all ate in the kitchen, talked and laughed. Trina was trying to make us promise to call our girl like her.
"I'm not naming her like you!" Logan said again, I totally agree with that.
"Why not?" I'm sure he has a thousands of reasons for that.
"Trina, don't you think it could cause some problems if we called her after you? We would never know about which one of you the others would be talking about. Besides, you're pretty unique..." I hope she would take that the right way.
"I agree with Veronica."
"You would agree with her even if she wanted to call the baby after one of those bikers!" that's not true.
"You don't know me well sis."
"What about your mother? You could call her after her." Trina said to me. Lianne? No way.
"Because she was such a good mother to me… Best mom of the year, a drunk woman who left with my college money…" That's so a no.
"Why not after Lynn?" She than said. I would understand if Logan wanted to call our little girl after his mom. Lynn is a pretty name, I would be okay for that. Logan looked at me for a second before answering.
"No, I want her to be stronger than my mom. She couldn't find it herself to leave dad and take us with her." Well, he was a murderer… Some people would be scared for less.
"What about Lilly?" Lilly? I would have loved that, but she was Logan's first love.
"Duncan called his girl like that…" I say before Logan could say anything. "What if he ever comes back?"
"Right… Do we know where he is?" Yes.
"No, nobody knows." Logan took my hand, knowing I probably did.
"What about that other girl… The one that died in the bus?" Meg?
"I don't like that name." Logan said. Thank you! I don't feel like being reminded Meg every time I look at my daughter.
"You guys are going to have a bad time searching for a name…" Trina added taking another piece of pizza.
I know this chapter isn't as long as the previous one. But I had to go back to school yesterday and I haven't found enough time to update.
