Being with Kendall woke something up inside of Logan, something that he thought was lost when Veronica left him. He felt alive and rejuvenated, because being with her meant he didn’t have to fall in love. Being with her means he doesn’t have to open up and be vulnerable.
He fucks her against the couch so hard he can feel himself hitting her cervix. She screams and moans, maybe a little too much, she is quite the actress. Her screams get so loud they didn’t hear the door open, and the sound of the gun click, the trigger pulled.
First comes the sounds, the chiming of the EKG machine, and the slow rhythmic drips from his IV. His eyes begin to flutter, his vision blurry, as he moves his head to search the room. It is bright, fluorescent light bumping around the white walls and back into his eyes.
He can feel his arms, tubes and needles sticking in them. Then there is a warmth and he can feel the tiny hand grasping his, looking down he sees the familiar blond. She is sitting in the chair next to his bed, her legs curled up close to her chest. Her head is resting on her knees while she sleeps, it is a sight he had come to know and love.
When she is asleep, she is innocent and truthful. She is beautiful and at peace, nothing is wrong in her life. But then he thinks about what she did, how she deserted him, left him broken and alone. And he jerks his hand away from hers, automatically missing the feel of her soft skin.
She lifts her head up and looks at him, then puts on a small smile “always has to be the center of attention” she laughed groggily waking up. “God Logan you scared the crap out of us.” She said getting a little more serious.
She was wearing a pink shirt and white skirt her hair pulled back into a clip, with the two long strands of bangs running down her face. It took all his strength not to reach over and push them out of the way.
“What the hell are you doing here… where is here… what happened? The questions run out of his mouth almost as fast as they enter his mind.
“I am your girlfriend and I wanted to be here for you, you are at the Neptune Hospital, you jumped off the bleachers at school and hit your head” she snaps a little irritated by his tone.
“Girlfriend? Bleachers?” he says trying to make since of what is going on in his head.
“I am going to get the doctor” she says frightened walking out the door and searching the halls for his doctor.
“What the fuck is going on?” he yells to his empty room.
“Well you just yelled at your girlfriend and were calling some other girls name out in your sleep.” An old familiar voice called. He looked up to see lilly sitting on a couch in the corner a magazine propped in her hands. Her long golden hair cascading down her shoulders and on top of her tight low cut white top. She was laying back with her legs over one of the armrests, her red skirt riding up a bit. But there was something different about 'ghost lilly' he thought, she looked more alive.
“I missed you” he said silently.
“God you have been out for like two hours not an eternity, but I guess I have that affect on guys." she shrugs flipping the page in her magazine. "An hour away from me is like an eternity” she giggles.
“Two hours?” he asked confused, the last time he saw ghost lilly was the day of his mother's funeral, when she told him that everything would change, something about the truth coming out. That was more then 4 months ago.
The doctor came in with a serious look, he did some tests before throwing on his best smile and asking “Do you remember what happened?” Logan couldn’t figure out why but he felt the urge to piss Veronica off.
“Yeah I was fucking this taut brunette when her husband came in and shot me” he said reaching his hand up to feel the bandage on his head, “and missed I guess” he laughed exhaustedly.
“Why are you being such a prick Logan?” Lilly asked looking over at Veronica. “What the hell did she do?”
He decided not to answer, that was the last thing he needed, for everyone to think he was crazy for talking to himself.
“Logan are you okay?” Veronica asked worried without a bit of anger.
“Yeah, stop babying me and go back to your precious boyfriend Duncan.” Logan snaps turning his head.
Lilly starts laughing hysterically, “Veronica and Duncan?” she sputtered. “That is called incest honey” she said with another laugh.
“What?”
“Logan what the hell are you talking about?” Veronica asked her fear rising. “Doctor?”
“Well it is not amnesia, but I think I may have a clue on what is going on, Logan has created another world in his subconscious, a place he went to when he was feeling bad, the knock must have switched it on and off, making it seem real.” The doctor said matter of factly like he had seen it a million times.
“O well that explains everything” mocked Lilly.
“Shut up Lilly” Veronica staring down the blonde behind her.
“Wait, you can see her?” Logan asked still letting what the doctor said sink in.
“Yeah she is sitting right there” Veronica gestured to Lilly.
“Wait your not dead?”
“Dead, no silly death is for the ugly” she said flipping her hair.
“Did you have a dream that Lilly was dead?” Veronica asked caressing her hand to his face.
“It wasn’t a dream, I couldn’t have been a dream” he mumbled to himself, and then a previous thought entered his mind. “Wait Duncan and you are brother and sister, I thought you said he wasn’t” Logan was confused.
“Okay we are never going to get anywhere this way” Lilly said getting off her seat and looking in the hall. She put her fingers in her mouth and whistled. Right then Duncan entered with four coffees.
“I told you I was coming” he said almost dropping the tray. “Hey man how’s you noggin?” he asked Logan with a smile.
“Dude are you on your pills?” Logan asked looking at his upbeat friend, he hadn't seen him this carefree since before Lilly died.
“Pills?” he asked looking at the girls.
“Okay, okay, now we are all going to sit down and talk, Logan will tell us everything he remembers, or thinks he remembers, and we will tell him the truth.” She said sliding up three chairs around Logan’s bed.
“Where should we begin?” Veronica asked.
“When did I die?” Lilly asked, Duncan looked confused but kept his questions to himself knowing everything was going to come out.
“October. 13 2003.” He answered having remembered the date distinctly for so long.
“Okay what happened?”
“Well I was in Tijuana with Dick and Beaver, while you and Veronica were at a car wash. I came back to give you a letter and watched you guys.” He said looking at his hands.
“Carwash, carwash” she mimicked touching her chin and thinking. “Duh fundraiser Jr. Year, wow that was a while ago.” She said.
“Wait what day is it?”
“October 8 2005” Veronica answered.
“Okay, in a nutshell Lilly was having an affair with my dad she found some tapes he had taken of the two of them and took them, he killed her” he said pausing, everyone had a surprised look.
“Wow!” Duncan said.
“Okay I so did not sleep with Aaron” she said with a disgusted laugh.
“This is not going to work, tell me a summary of what happened since I moved here when I was twelve.” He said getting frustrated.
“Okay here we go” Veronica started taking a deep breath all of this was a little too weird.
