“I met you the day you moved in, you and your parents went out to check out the community and I was at the park, I just finished my soccer game and we met.” Veronica said looking back over the memory.
“Yeah I remember all that. Then I met DK at school and Lilly and you at their house by the pool” he joined in.
“Okay well lets go to Freshman year” she said.
“Well I started dating Lilly and you and Duncan started going out.” He said.
“Okay now we need to talk” she said looking over at Lilly and Duncan. “Logan I got a paternity test my freshman year, I am Jake’s daughter but I signed over my rights to the name and stayed with my family, my parents got divorced and I haven’t seen my mom since.” She said sadness tearing at her eyes.
“And I never dated you sweetheart” Lilly added, “I mean I wanted you but you and Veronica were always swooning over each other so I backed off” she said with a smile.
“We started dating shortly after your dad went to prison.” Veronica added.
“Prison, but if he didn’t kill Lilly then for what?” Logan demanded, this was all starting to give him a headache.
“Well he killed an intern on the set of his movie she was fucking him, and threatened to sell the tapes to the press, he bashed her head in with a crystal ash tray. There were three witnesses and they all testified, he is on death row” DK said trying to add as much detail so there were no questions.
“You must have remembered it and put it in as Lilly” Veronica said trying to make since of everything, she thought about his condition as a dream everything must be linked together.
“And my mom?” Logan asked distressed waiting for them to tell him what he already knew.
“Right here sweetie” she cooed sweetly as she entered the room with some fast food for all of them. She walked over to the bed and bent down to hug him. He had tears in his eyes and grabbed a hold of her never wanting to let go. She was really here, she smelled and felt the same. He let go and she lay on the bed next to him stroking her hand through his hair and placing light kisses on his forehead.
“Anyone mind telling me what is going on” she said looking at the friends confused at her son’s sudden need for affection.
“The doctor thinks that when he was out he lived another life, that the past years have been totally different, we are trying to recap him about what really happened” Lilly said taking her hamburger and chewing down.
“Okay?”
“You were dead…. you jumped off the bridge…. You left me” he let out in between sobs.
“Oh my god sweety I would never do that to you” she said hugging him tighter. “O honey” she cooed.
“Okay so back on track, Duncan was with veronica, you and I were together, I died, your mom killed herself, you and veronica hooked up and your dad went to jail for killing me, you and veronica broke up she started dating Duncan and you started didling a married woman.” She said.
“In a nutshell” Logan said a little irritated that she put it so lightly when it was complete torture to go through. But he wanted to keep all the details to himself, over time he would tell them but now he was happy with how things were working out.
“I think the best way to get through this is to tell everyone he got amnesia, maybe people will try to help him remember.” Veronica said.
“Okay” Logan said looking over his friends. “When can I leave?” he asked his mom.
“Your doctor said you need to spend the night, so they can run some tests” she said lightly brushing his hair. “Oh shoot I have to go to LA to finish that shoot.” She said pulling out her cell phone. “I will just cancel.”
“No Mrs. Echolls I can stay with Logan” Veronica said with a smile.
“Thank you Veronica” she said, “Is that okay with you?” she asked Logan.
He looked at Veronica and smiled, “Yeah that’s fine.”
They all left and now it was down to Veronica and Logan she still sat in her seat one leg propped under her. They had a deck of cards now and Logan propped himself on his side while they played.
“So where’s your dad” he said pulling two from the pile.
“In San Diego he is helping in an investigation he will be down their for a while” she said taking two for herself.
\
“So how is Mars Investigations?” he asked.
“Fine, he really misses being sheriff I mean with all the perks but he like being a PI it gives him a old 50’s vibe” she said with a smile.
“So why isn’t he sheriff?”
“He was the one who headed the case for your dad, lets just say the head members of the community weren’t too thrilled when he started messing with Aaron Echolls.” She said as if it didn’t phase her anymore, and maybe it didn’t.
“Well at least he likes what he does, so what, do you help you dad with cases?”
“Sometimes, but mostly just background tests and taking pictures of cheating husbands”
“Awe” he said looking down at his cards. “Veronica?”
“Yeah” she said looking into his eyes.
“Would you ever believe I could have hurt Lilly?” he knew it was a strange question but he had to know.
“no I don’t think it would be possible.” She answered calmly, trying to decide what he would ask next.
He started to think back on why she would believe him now and not back then, and it hit him, he hadn’t made her life a living hell now, he hadn’t teased and mocked and threaten her now. No wonder she thought he could do that, maybe if he had gotten mad enough he would have.
“When was our first kiss” he asked?
“Camelot Motel, we still weren’t together and I was kidnapped you came to my resque and I kissed you, you then practically forced your tongue down my throat” she giggled.
“Not how I remember it, you kissed me then tried to walk away, so I just wanted to return the favor, the tongue was all yours.” He said with a smile. She relented and looked at him with a shy glint.
“Logan, did we ever…. In your dream” she said trying to make his condition easier to describe by calling it a dream.
“No but you were always begging me to, you were always like ‘oh logan I want you so bad, you are the hottest guy in the world’ and I was all like ‘no I want it to be special and not in the girls bathroom’” he said with a grin. She swated his arm and began to blush. “Have we here” he said avoiding her gaze shyly.
“No” she said doing the same, it was like the first time they met. They knew they had a connection but there was always this feeling of something being in the way. They were back to being twelve and trying to figure out what they were doing.
“So…..you want to make this interesting” he said wiggling his eye brows.
“Okay?” she said questioningly.
“I win you tell me one of your favorite memories you win I will tell you mine.” He said.
“Okay”
the first hand he won.
