The journey - chapter 1
Veronica is sitting on her bed thinking of what really happened the last couple of days. That tape really stirred things up. Between her and Piz AND between her and Logan.
A unspoken rule; when I think something great is happening in my life everything just comes crashing down. I really thought that this thing with Piz could work out, that Logan and me was history. But he just rubs me in all the right ways. Even when he beats my boyfriend to small pieces... God damn what's wrong with me? I'm with the most easy, caring, loving guy and still I'm longing for the bad boy. Gah, and now I'm sitting here analyzing every little detail, like some character from Hidden Palms.
Veronica reaches for the phone:"Hi, it's me. Yea. Can I come over?" Veronica smiles "Sure. See you soon then."
She grabs her bag and exits the room.

"Come on man, she must've said something?!" Piz says, throwing a football at his friend while lying on his bed.
Wallace rapidly turns his head from the computer screen towards Piz when he feels the ball touching his arm.
"Well I THOUGHT this was IT." Piz says with a bit of hurt in his voice "That all the pieces where put in the right places... But after seeing her look at Logan like that... Ah, damn I don't know anything anymore" Piz buries his head under his pillow.
Wallace turns to his friend again, this time with a softer look in this face "Piz, just talk to her. She and Logan have had some great times yes, but also a lot of really bad times. They have a history and nothing you say or do can delete that, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want you now. Please, just go and talk to her." Lowering his voice and continuing "And let me get some studying done"
Piz looks up from under the pillow. "Hmm, yea. I guess you're right!" Jumping up suddenly with a lot of energy. "Thanks mate." And runs out of their dorm room.

How come I ended up here? How come he was the one I called? I should've called Piz... but instead
"Hi Logan's friend, it's been a while. How can I help you today?" the familiar girl behind the clerk desk at the Neptune grand interrupts Veronicas thoughts.
"Hi. Logan said that he had something here that I could take with me on my way up?!"
"Oh, right, just a sec." The girl turns around and gets something that she hands to Veronica "There you go"
"Thanks" Veronica takes it and heads towards the elevator. Once in, she glares at the envelope that she got in her hand. The address is written in an elegant handwriting, obviously female.
Okay, so why does this bother me so much. I'm with Piz. Logan can receive how many love letters from girls he wants. I shouldn't care.
When she reaches the door, the so familiar door, a memory totally astonishes her. The memory of her standing outside this exact door, pouring her heart to the half naked Logan in front of her. Realising that he doesn't remember what he said about their love being epic. And then... Veronica shrugs. Not wanting to remember anything else. With a little doubt still in her mind she knocks at the door.
"Hey you" Logan opens the door with a huge smile on his face.
She can't help but smile back. "Hi"
"So this was kind of a surprise. I didn't know we were on the hanging out basis again." Logan says, blinking to Veronica.
Ignoring him Veronica says, "Right, before I forget. This is for you." Handing Logan the envelope.
"Cool. Thanks." Throwing it at the table. "So what's up Mars" What brings you to the Neptune Grand again?"
"Eh. You're not going to open that?"
"I sense that you are avoiding my questions... And aren't you a bit too curious about my mail?"
Veronica seats herself in the sofa, trying to look nonchalant. "No, and no... I just thought it looked important. You can do what you want!"
Logan laughs. "You know I can read you like an open book Veronica Mars. But okay, I'll open it, just for you!"
With a grin on his face Logan tears the envelope open and with one glance at the letter his face freezes and with a bounce he sits down next to her in the sofa.
"Logan?" she says, wondering what the hell just happened. "Logan? What is it?"
"it's... it's..." Logan says. "I don't understand." After en long pause he finally looks up at her with an astound look on his face. "Veronica, this I from my mother"

Wallace rapidly turns his head from the computer screen towards Piz when he feels the ball touching his arm.
"For the thousandth time, no. She didn't say anything about you, or your relationship. And I don't want to be caught in the middle of this..." Wallace pauses, sighs and turns back to the computer "...whatever it is."
"Well I THOUGHT this was IT." Piz says with a bit of hurt in his voice "That all the pieces where put in the right places... But after seeing her look at Logan like that... Ah, damn I don't know anything anymore" Piz buries his head under his pillow.
