death and rebirth are things that will never be new.

I had to admit that this black hair thing probably wasn't half as bad as I had made it out to be. I guess Veronica more or less surprised me with it. I had a hard enough time getting used to the fact that she now had black hair let alone my own hair, but I sort of felt relieved in a way with it. Like the hair color was a cover or a flush of who we ( Read more... )

"This is why we're heading for the other ocean. You'd go insane staying anywhere else." I smirked to him when he complained he was bored. Not like I'd do much better, but I could probably deal a little longer than he could with perpetual boredom. Logan bored had a tendency to do stupid things that drew attention, which was the last thing we needed right now. "Thanks...for carrying my stuff." I added as he put down the suitcases. "Anyway, we're nearly done with the continuous driving. And you have to admit, we've made a lot of progress since yesterday ( ... )

I'm not quite sure that I knew the extent of worrying a parent could do for their child until yesterday. Until yesterday when I found out that Veronica had gone missing, soon after finding her car smashed in. You know, at first the worry had been more or less about her safety, but after finding out that she ran off with her boyfriend, who she happened to break laws with getting out of jail, that worry turned into both safety and sanity.

No, of course, that wasn't the kicker. I thought it was brilliant how she lied about knowing the involvement of the Fighting Fitzpatricks. That really took the cake.

I was down at the Sheriff's department when my cell phone began to ring. I glanced towards the display as it read Unknown Name, Unknown Number and I knew - I just knew - that Veronica was on the other end of that phone. She had taken all the untraceable phones.

Opening the cell, I shut my eyes tightly, "Hello?" I took a hard breath inwards (relief or tension, I don't know) as she gave me a Hi, Dad that seemed so intense and tiny at the ( ... )

I dropped down heavily on the bed as I heard Lamb in the background, and then my dad attempt to convince the not-quite-that-clueless (not quite, but definitely close) sheriff that it was Mrs. Fennel and not me on the phone before he headed outside ( ... )

I'm scared to death for her - and I know she's a smart girl, too smart for her own good, but I can't help being so angry with her just for going away like that. The sound of her voice gets to me. Veronica gets to me and I have to fight this feeling of being alone. It's different from her being overnight somewhere else to her being on the run - on the run with a... She's on the run with Logan and it kills me because I know that we could just prove this innocence and she wouldn't have to be on the run like this ( ... )

"Can't disagree with any of that. You did pretty much guilt me into it in the first place, sure. But you know what? I'm in charge of my own decisions. If I really hadn't wanted to help you, I wouldn't have. We were still kinda not speaking to each other then." I pointed out. He knew what I was like as well as anyone. Doesn't matter who tells me what. Ultimately I'm responsible for me and for the choices I make. "And Logan? Stop driving yourself insane about stuff that didn't happen. It's the What If game. It's pointless. I'm fine. I'm in one piece, completely unblemished by tattoo ink ( ... )

I'm supposed to ignore how stupid I think the two of us running away is, but I seriously can't help it. I do feel at fault and despite Veronica's reasoning, I just don't think that missing school and needing a break is good enough. It's really not and no amount of Veronica talk will convince me otherwise.

I sighed softly at her words. You still shouldn't be here with me and nothing is really going to make that right - despite all these things, you should be happy with your father at home. Even though I really know that she wouldn't be happy exactly even if we were at home. I'd still be in jail and Veronica would still have done something crazy like break me out ( ... )

"I know." I replied softly, as he kissed my forehead. Those little affectionate kisses meant so much more than Logan knew, I was sure. "Kinda hard not to when I'm comfortably snuggled in your arms." I commented softly. Yeah, he's here and I haven't lost him, but he's far from done the panicking and feeling guilty thing he's got going on internally. "I do know you wouldn't leave unless you didn't have a choice ( ... )

I let out a soft breath as I felt her lips press gently against my temple. I nodded at her words. If we didn't take a few seconds to relax from all these things that were bothering us we were going to continue to go around in circles - over and over again ( ... )

"Haven't. Well, except for that one time, I haven't touched a Mars Investigations case unless he asked me to." I told him, "And that one time... well, who in their right mind is going to turn down three grand for a week's work? It was just some rich girl who wanted to know if her fiance was after her for her money. A total nothing case, just Dad was too busy running for sheriff to take it ( ... )

"I'm not just talking about the cases," I told her with a small grin. Plus, she was still practically her own investigative service - and I know that she's taken on more cases just from being at school. This whole 'defying daddy's orders'? She was sort of pro at it even if she was claiming complete innocence ( ... )

"Fine... fine." I laughed softly, "But I still don't think most of my completely ignoring my dad's proclamations is that big of a deal. I mean, if I'd listened to him about everything we would have missed out on all the silly movies and ice cream fun." I pointed out with a smirk. It was so nice and comfortable watching movies with him that night, just relaxing, resting my head on his shoulder by the end of the evening. We were barely even classifying each other friends then, but we didn't seem to have a problem with being so close to each other. Of course it became beyond obvious why later, but I wouldn't trade any part of that evening for anything ( ... )

Veronica says ice cream fun like she says bondage fun and I can't help but laugh for a moment and shake my head towards her. "And that would just be a shame." I finished for her. I really don't know where exactly we would be if she hadn't invited me in that night. I don't know, even if we hadn't slept together? I wanted her close to me. Even if we had gone back to trading hurtful barbs. It was better than nothing, right ( ... )
