Right back to square one.

If I had known that Veronica's reaction to me kissing her would be ravishing me right back, despite the fact that she had just broken up with Duncan, I quite possibly would have kissed her a lot sooner

"You won't." I stated simply. At least one of us should believe in him, right now he clearly didn't. But then, it wasn't exactly people gave him much of a chance to think there was anything worth believing in.

Except that their was, when he wasn't acting out. When the facade was down and it was just us, it was almost amazing how sweet he could be. That, and despite whatever was between us prior to last spring, and the opinion of most of the students of Neptune High that I was a giant waste of space and basically social suicide to even look at too long, we somehow managed to connect.

Okay, so true, even when we were sort of friends when he was with Lilly, I thought he was just a spoiled, psychotic jackass... but since last year he's actually let me see what was hiding behind that. How smart he was, how much fun he was to be around when he wasn't insulting me with every other breath. That there was just so much more to him than anybody gave him credit for. So much he could accomplish if he only tried.

"You're not going to do anything to intentionally hurt me. I know that, Logan. And you also know even if you did I wouldn't just let you do it." I pointed out.

"You don't even have to worry about it, okay? You're already amazingly sweet, loving, attentive, protective, and as a nice added bonus, don't actually care what other people think about us being together so long as we're happy. Anything else I need to remind you of, or are we okay?" I asked gently.

Veronica believed in me and that was all that really mattered at this point. She was the one that saw the alternative and went against what the general populace refused to see. She defended her father when he prosecuted Jake Kane - even I joined on that bandwagon to blame her though. That was through the pressure of Lilly's death and what ever the other Kanes were going through. Nothing else matter but making sure that Duncan was okay. Things changed, didn't they?

I believe Veronica more when she says that I won't. I believe it because she believes it though. There's no doubt and no hesitation to her voice. It's that simple 'Veronica knows what she wants' voice that she has. No argument.

I closed my eyes at her words, suck in a breath and nod towards her. I wanted to get past all these ideas and this entire conversation. I wanted to be past the fact that we just saw something scarring on that tape.

"We're okay," I agreed quietly.
