Love.
There is no other word that is as valuable, as precious or as meaningful as the word love.
Therefore it makes sense that it is also one of the cheapest words in the English language, used left and right at every given opportunity.
When people talk about love, they sugar coat it, making it appear more innocent than it really is. Like holding hands in the park/ listening to the birds sing /while you watch the waves hit the shore/ as the sun goes down.
No, love is not a continued feeling of happiness.
It’s a punishment you keep begging to be given.
It’s a contradiction.
Love is feeling like crap and feeling alive at once.
LOGAN ECHOLLS
Excerpt from “Reflections from a Reformed Jackass”
-
“My party tomorrow is going to be so awesome!” Lilly giggled “Five more years until I’m eighteen and I get to do whatever I want. God, Celeste is going to freak out on my eighteenth birthday party.”
Lilly turned her head to look at a scowling Duncan and an entertained Logan. “There will be strippers” she mock whispered at Logan leaning in a little bit too close. “Wanna strip at my party?”
“Gee, I don’t know. Will you strip as well?” Logan retorted back with a shit eating grin while Lilly batted her eye lashes. Duncan shook his head and turned back to the soccer field where Lilly’s best friend Veronica had just scored a goal and won them the game.
“Woohoo Veronica!” Lilly cheered jumping up and down while her blond friend waved back at her and started a little jog in the direction of where they were sitting.
Logan was curious about this Veronica that Lilly constantly talked about while Duncan listened with a stupid expression on his face. So far from what he saw she was blond, short and pretty like Lilly. When Lilly introduced her she wiped her hands on her shorts before shaking his hand.
“Welcome to Neptune, it's fun here” she smiled as she leaned down to pull up one of her knee socks.
“Yeah, I’m sure. Now that Lilly has promised me she will strip, it will be twice the fun” Logan joked.
He could hear Lilly laughing at this side while he watched Veronica blush scarlet at his joke. No, Veronica Mars was very different from Lilly Kane, very different indeed.
He was not used to blushing cute blond girls.
It was pretty fucking hot.
-
Logan woke up supporting a huge hangover. He brought his hand up to his head, which presently felt like it had been dislocated from his body. He felt nausea starting to rise up to his chest and barely made it to the bathroom before he hurled the contents of his stomach into the pristinely cleaned toilet.
He sunk next to the shower, trying to calm his nerves. The bathroom tiles felt numbingly cold on his bare ass.
“Lover!” A voice called in from the pool house “Where have you run off to? I want my morning quickie now!”
Oh yeah, he remembered now. He had gotten totally wasted with his girlfriend the other night (what else was new?). That was before they had shed off all of their clothes and Lilly had straddled him (and in conclusion them) into an explosive orgasm. Logan grinned when he remembered his girlfriend, the pure white skin, blond hair and innocent blue eyes accompanied by sinful lips, tongue…well sinful everything.
“Logaaaan!” She demanded, “Get back here this instant, I have more important things to do today.”
“Coming baby” He shouted back as he lifted himself off of the floor with a grunt and walked towards the sink to splash some cold water onto his face.
-
“Oh my God Duncan, wasn’t that movie so romantic?” Veronica asked with a happy sigh. “She thought he wasn’t going to show up to kiss her but he totally did!”
“So I assume you enjoyed the movie?” Duncan asked as he tentatively reached for her hand. Veronica who was still caught up in her little world did a little startled skip when his hand touched hers. She was positive he could hear the squeal that had temporarily taken over her brain. She was about to get kissed by a boy! She let him lace their hands together as she nodded her head in shy agreement.
She saw Duncan spin towards her in slow motion and closed her eyes as he started to lean in.
-
Logan watched Caitlin make a perfect dive from the diving board of his swimming pool. He took another sip of his (third was it?) beer. He aimed to get piss ass drunk before the day was over. With the parent’s (he sniggered at the word) out of town, he was basically the king of the castle. That meant booze, lots of booze.
Logan gazed at Caitlin as she got out of the pool and started to squeeze the water out off her hair. When she noticed his attention she called out “I wish your dad, I mean your parents were here today. I would have loved to meet the people who gave birth to my fabulous boyfriend.”
His face stretched in a tight cocky smile, he raised his bottle to toast her before taking a big gulp.
-
Veronica held on tightly as she sobbed on Troy’s collar. She was capable of searching for and finding the parent of a client, yet she was useless at finding her own. Why did everything have to be so complicated? Why did everything associated with her have to be so fucked up?
“Hey Veronica its okay” Troy soothed ineffectively given that Veronica was showing no sign of stopping. So he stood there embracing her in the chilly night air waiting patiently for her tears to subside.
She shakily raised her head and wiped at the stray tears. “Thank you” she was cut off short as Troy’s cell phone began to ring. He quickly grabbed the phone from his pants pocket and took a look at the caller id.
“Who is it?” Veronica asked.
Troy glanced at the screen for another second before shrugging and putting the phone back inside his pocket.
“No one important, they will have to leave me a voice mail” he winked as he pulled her in for another hug.
-
Veronica held her phone in her hands and watched the phone blink for a few minutes as she worried her lips with her teeth. The phone finally went to voice mail and she quickly pressed the button to listen to her message.
“Hey Veronica, it’s your boyfriend the deputy hunk” she could hear Leo’s little chuckle at the other end and couldn’t help but smile at his cuteness “ So, if you’re wondering what we are up to today at the very busy, crime solving local sheriffs department, I can tell you that we had three DUI’s today. Yes, you heard right, three. Sheriff Lamb can’t lift his arms from all of the work…no wait scratch that, it’s the new weights in the workout room. Anyway just wanted to let you know that, although it is a very hectic day, I might drop everything if you managed to swing by. Hope to see you Veronica.”
Veronica inwardly groaned as she closed her phone. He was a perfect boyfriend in every way and his offer was very tempting. She would have taken him up on his offer in a heartbeat if it were any other day. Nevertheless it wasn’t and it was still the day after she had randomly made out with her sworn enemy. She had also liked… Veronica visibly shook her head, perishing the very thought from her mind.

Veronica kept her gaze locked at the 09er table as Wallace kept going on about his basketball practice, unaware that he no longer had his best friend’s attention. Her eyes trailed Logan as he gave Dick a little punch on the arm and took out his wallet to pay the delivery man.
“-and then Carmen Electra came and asked me for my number so I could take her to a party at the playboy mansion.” Seeing that that didn’t capture her attention, he moved his hand in the line of her eyesight and snapped his fingers.
“Huh?” Veronica exclaimed, distracted from her target as she turned slowly to look at Wallace.
“Girl you are in daydream land. What happened, did you fall in love or something?” Veronica stared at him in shock while Wallace jokingly mirrored her facial expression.
“What? No!” she exclaimed in a voice too high pitched for her liking.
Wallace, taken aback by her sudden outburst, held his hands up in mock surrender. “I retreat, I retreat. Damn, where did I stash my white flag today?”
“I’m sorry Wallace; I’ve got some stuff on my mind lately.” Just at that moment she noticed that Logan had left his lunch table and was headed for the main entrance.
“Sorry Wallace gotta boggie. Some case involving missing homework and really stupid students.” She rolled her eyes as she grabbed her bag and gave him a little wave as she quickly started towards the same direction. Wallace looked after her disbelievingly “Yeah, okay.”
Veronica entered the hallway and walked until she came up to Mr Wu’s vacant classroom. Or nearly vacant she thought as her heart did a little skip. She opened the door and stepped inside to see Logan perched up on top of Mr Wu’s desk. Their eyes locked and they both grinned shyly as she reached back and locked the door.
