Any Author's Notes: I've re-watched the finale about 500 times so far, and I couldn't get this out of my head. Totally a departure from the norm for me. I don't do dialogue! Thanks to cassapoo for the beta!
Previous Parts
The rest of the school day went by with lots of intense Logan stares. No one leans the way Logan leans, against lockers, walls, the janitorial closets. That spawned a few more fantasies. I ditched out of my last class to avoid him but he still somehow managed to be leaning against my car when I got there.
I still don’t understand how he does that. Anticipates what I’m going to do before I do it. It’s really annoying.
“You gonna run away again Ver-ronica?” Logan’s voice was tense as we faced each other. I could see the stiff line of his shoulders as he crossed his arms, leaning casually back against my car. His body language screamed anything but casual.
“I haven’t been avoiding you Logan, you been drinking during the school day again?” I smirked outside, while inside, my stomach quivered. The last thing I needed right now was a confrontation with Logan.
“What would you call moving in the opposite direction every time I get near you?” He raised an eyebrow as I stepped closer to him.
“You looking for a repeat performance? Cause with the top down on my car there isn’t much privacy.” I smiled at him, hoping to diffuse the situation before Logan got out of control.
“Funny. We need to talk. Now.” Logan’s voice remained firm and he didn’t smile. One of his hands moved towards me and I was sure he’d changed his mind. Right up until he grabbed my arm and practically shoved me into my car, hopping in beside me he said only one word. “Drive.”
Apparently the confrontation was unavoidable.
I started the car and slowly pulled out of the parking lot, Logan sitting beside me. “Where too Master Mine?” I said sarcastically. When confronted with a stern Logan Echolls always resort to sarcasm.
“Just drive.” He stated, voice still tense. He turned his head to look at me with those intense eyes again and I shifted uncomfortably in the drivers seat. “What is this Veronica? A way to rebel, you want to be more like Lilly is that it? Use the great Logan Echolls for your own ends?” His voice sounded hurt.
I turned to look at him when I pulled to a stop at a red light. I could read the hurt plainly on his face.
“I’m not sure what this is Logan. What do you want it to be?” I asked softly, as I pulled away from the light. Driving aimlessly had never been my strong suite. I was driving in circles.
“It obviously doesn’t matter what I want Veronica. I’m asking what you want.” His tone was softer now, gentler, and I’m not sure I liked this Logan better than stern Logan.
“I…” I trailed off after a moments hesitation before I finally screwed up my courage. “Would you like to come for dinner? For real with my Mom and Dad?” My voice came out hesitant and I refused to look at him.
“I’d like that Veronica.” He smiled at me, I could see the blinding whiteness of his teeth out of the corner of my eye, the hurt was slowly fading.
“I’m not sure what this is Logan. But… I’d like to find out, if you’re willing that is.” I smiled for a moment, putting myself out there for him, and he didn’t disappoint.
“One day at a time. I can handle that. As for willing… ready, willing, and able Ma’am!” He snapped a salute and I burst out laughing.
“See? That’s what I’ve been missing.” He smiled again, a wide grin, before he gently rubbed a knuckle down my cheek. “You should laugh more Veronica.” His voice was even softer now, almost drowned out by the roar of the car engine.
“When I find things to smile about, I’ll smile.” I grinned for a moment, moving my face into his hand, before I pulled back into the school parking lot. “I’ve got to get ready for my night on the town with Lilly.” I hesitated before leaning over and kissing him softly on the mouth. “I’ll call you later and we’ll talk about dinner.” I smiled as he pressed a soft kiss to my forehead before getting out of the car.
“Make sure you do. I don’t want to have to chase you all over Neptune again, although I will if you make me.” He grinned before jauntily moving away, there was a definite bounce in his step.
Dinner with my parents didn’t sound so bad. I could get my Dad used to the idea of Logan, explore my feelings for him, and get him to stop following me around all in one fell swoop. It was a plan.
I had to hurry and get home after that, I’m pretty certain I broke at least a dozen traffic laws on my way. Lilly was picking me up in less than an hour.
“So where we going tonight?” I was genuinely curious. Lilly had been all mysterious since picking me up fifteen minutes before.
“Dog Beach. There’s a bonfire tonight.” Lilly turned her head and smiled at me quickly, “and before you freak out, Dick’s grounded and will not be there. I made sure just for you.” She smiled again at my sigh of relief.
We made good time to the beach, getting out of the SUV, Lilly handed me the keys. “I’m gonna have a few beers, you drive.” Nodding quickly, we made our way towards the fire down the beach.
I could see Logan in the firelight, his eyes found me the moment we stepped on the beach and he never once looked away as we made our way towards him. Without a word he handed Lilly a beer and then put his arm around my shoulders.
“Veronica, wasn’t expecting to see you quite so soon.” I could hear the smile in his voice, I couldn’t help but smile back.
“Lilly’s idea.” I laughed at his disappointed look. “But it was definitely a good one.” He kissed my cheek before wrapping his other arm around Lilly.
“So what kind of trouble are my two favourite girls going to be getting up to tonight?” He smirked at the both of us in turn.
“Drunken debauchery. You know, the usual.” Lilly laughed as she shrugged off Logan’s arm, making her way around the fire to a group of 09er boys, leaving us alone.
“I’m glad you decided to come.” Logan’s voice was gentle as he stared down at me, his arm tightening for a moment in a half hug.
“Lilly didn’t give me much choice, but I’m kind of glad I did too.” I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed his chin. “Good thing it’s a Friday!” I laughed as I watched Lilly begin chugging beers.
The party progressed along its natural course through the night, Lilly getting more intoxicated at each passing hour. Logan continued to nurse the same beer as they sat in companionable silence.
I made my apology to Logan and headed towards Lilly. I had a question that I might actually get answers to now that Lilly was intoxicated and more free with her words.
“Lilly!” I yelled above the roar of the fire. She turned to face me and leaning against me and putting her head on my shoulder.
“How do I tell my Dad?” I asked quietly into her ear. The question had been bothering me since the night that Lilly had told me we were probably related. I still hadn’t figured out a solution. I had no idea how to tell my Dad that my Mother was an adulteress.
“That’s the good thing about the whole situation Veronica Mars. He already knows, has all along.” She slurred out, before turning quickly away towards some guy attempting to get her attention.
My Father had known. He knew and hadn’t told me. The words swirled around in my head as I stumbled away from Lilly, away from the fire, away from, just away.
I could feel the tears flowing down my cheeks the cool wetness stinging my face in the cool night air. I couldn’t see anything. I felt a hand gently touch my shoulder and I swung around, barely missing Logan’s face with my elbow.
“Veronica? You okay?” His voice was soft and hesitant, but he kept his hand firmly on my shoulder, offering comfort. “Did Lilly say something?”
“Doesn’t she always?” I asked through my sniffles.
“Did she say something about… us?” His voice had gotten lower as he attempted to pull me closer, but suddenly I was angry. Rage bubbled up from my stomach and threatened to spill out of my mouth.
I shoved him away before glaring at him, brushing angrily at the tears on my cheeks, “Not everything is about you Logan. Get over yourself.” I moved to leave quickly wanting nothing more than to escape.
Logan of course, wouldn’t let me go. He grabbed my arm pulling me around to face him. “I was just asking Veronica, don’t get all defensive. If it wasn’t about me, what did she say that got you so upset? Why are you crying? Talk to me Veronica, don’t run.”
I didn’t want to hear it, didn’t want to listen to anything he had to say. I shook him off and turned away. “Drop it Logan, it’s none of your business.” I stalked off and this time he let me go, his voice echoing after me.
“You’re my business Veronica.” I didn’t pause, didn’t turn, I just kept moving away from him.
I went looking for Lilly. I wanted to go home. Wanted out of here. Lilly of course was nowhere to be found.
I searched for more than an hour and still couldn’t find her. I’d learned that the PCH Bike Club had been by to see the festivities, being quickly sent away by Logan and the rest of his posse with a few beers and minimal violence. No one had seen Lilly since.
I was tried and frustrated. Lilly had apparently ditched me. I really shouldn’t be surprised, Lilly had a habit of disappearing on me when she’d had a few too much to drink. But tonight, after everything that had happened. The revelation, the fight with Logan, tonight really wasn’t the time to be pulling a disappearing act.
I finally gave up, heading towards the SUV. I’d return it to Lilly tomorrow, but I needed to get out of here now. I unlocked the driver’s side door, quickly opening it, and heard a loud curse from the back seat. That definitely wasn’t Lilly.
“Who’s there?” My voice came out frightened, I drew a deep breath before quickly swinging the back door open. To say I was shocked would be an understatement.
One, Eli ‘Weevil’ Navarro was on the backseat, pants around his ankles, Lilly kneeling in the crawlspace at his feet, her lips wrapped around his… cock. Lilly was giving Weevil a blowjob. I stood there for a moment, mouth hanging open in shock, when Lilly’s eyes rolled towards me, not even slowing in her fast strokes of the boys dick.
She winked at me. Lilly winked at me, with her lips wrapped around… she winked at me. Weevil was cursing steadily his hands buried in Lilly’s hair and I couldn’t tell if he was pulling her closer or trying to push her away.
“Beat it blondie, this isn’t a spectator sport.” He ground out between clenched teeth. Lilly must have done something when he said that, because his eyes were rolling up, and his hips were bucking, and I still couldn’t pull my gaze away. Eli Navarro had just came in Lilly’s mouth.
I learned something new today. Lilly swallowed.
I slammed the door quickly, trying to slow my rapidly racing heart, fingers going to my chest to feel the drumming tattoo under my fingers. I was panting. Lilly and… Weevil.
They came stumbling out of the back seat a few moments later. Weevil looking embarrassed but Lilly just looked smug. I wouldn’t meet either of their eyes.
“You better be able to keep a secret Mars.” I couldn’t help but laugh. Secrets. The whole big mess of my life started with a secret, it seemed fitting.
“One condition Weevil.” I emphasized his name letting it drip off my tongue. I’m not sure how I made my voice so steady when my heart was still racing.
“What’s that?” He was genuinely curious, and I finally noticed, he wasn’t meeting Lilly’s gaze either.
She was conspicuously silent through the whole exchange.
“Drive me home.” I don’t think anyone was more shocked than myself at my statement.
“Deal.” He moved towards his Bike, which I’d previously not noticed, on the other side of the SUV, handing me a helmet. I hopped on as he revved the engine.
I didn’t look back at Lilly as we sped away.
The ride home was uneventful. Let me tell you, there’s nothing that compares to the feel of a big ol’ hog between your thighs. The hum of the engine, a biker in front of you, if I wasn’t so hung up on Logan… no, it still wouldn’t happen. Logan was far enough out of my league; Weevil would have eaten me for breakfast.
After we’d pulled up in front of my house, I got off the bike, silently handing Weevil his helmet. I slowly made my way to the front door where I could see my father waiting for me.
“Was that Eli Navarro I saw?” His voice was curious and stern all at the same time. A tone only my Father could pull off with any sort of accuracy.
“Yes.” My voice was succinct. I met his gaze and suddenly the anger was back. Rage bubbling up from inside me and it was flowing out of me, burning in my eyes as I stared at him. He’d known all along.
“What’s gotten into you Veronica? First Logan? Now Weevil? Is this one of those teenage rebellion things I’ve read so much about?” He made it into a joke, but I could hear the underlying concern in his voice. It was all a lie.
“I figured I’d act like what I am Dad.” I put a sarcastic inflection on the word as I removed my sandals, barely glancing at him as I hung up my coat heading towards my bedroom.
“And just what IS that Veronica?” Now he sounded angry. Good. I wanted him angry.
I turned to stare at him for a moment, standing in the dimly lit hallway.
My whole life was a lie. He’d known all along. Lilly wouldn’t lie about something like that. He’d known and he hadn’t told me. He’d kept it a secret. The one man a girl could depend on was supposed to be her Daddy, but apparently both of mine had failed me.
“A Kane.” My voice was clipped as I slammed my bedroom door, his shocked face still staring at me from the hallway.
Apparently all the secrets were out in the open now.
My father and I had never fought like that before. We haven’t since either. I love my Father. I’m truly blessed to have him in my life. I was pretty certain I’d never get over the betrayal.
He’d lied, when he’d always preached honesty. He may not have outright lied by telling me, ‘No Jake Kane is not your father,’ but he lied by omission.
I didn’t know who I was anymore.
