This is a songfic, written from the song "Simple Together" so please read it and enjoy!
"And we are back to Inside Hollywood Live." the gorgeous woman smiled, "I am Rachel Geller, here with the one and only Logan Mitchell who is here talking about his debut solo album which has came in at number 1! Logan, how does it feel to be the hottest solo act in the country?"
"It feel's really good." Logan grinned, "I wrote all the lyrics, and music, myself so it's a huge honor."
"What was the inspiration for some of these lyrics?" Rachel inquired, "A lot of them are really sad. For example, the song Not As We. Is it about anyone?"
"Yes, it is." Logan's face fell, and he spoke with a monotone. Rachel's attention was instantly caught, and she set off on a new set of questions.
"Five years ago," she began, "there were rumors that you were dating ex-Big Time Rush band member Carlos Garcia, who has since dropped off the radar. Is that true?"
"It was true." Logan admitted, "It was true, up until three months ago. We broke up."
"What happened?" Rachel asked, feigning a sorrowful tone. Logan paused for a moment, memories of the extirpation of his relationship with Carlos. They had been together since the time they were 14, and now they weren't even speaking to each other at all.
You've been my golden best friend
but now with post-demise at hand
I can't go to for consolation
because you're off limits during this transition
"I guess I just wasn't what he wanted anymore." Logan replied, tears welling in his eyes.
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
and I can't stop bumping
into things
"Let's go to commercial." Rachel spoke into a small microphone. Even she wasn't so cruel as too keep the camera on Logan when he was this upset. Logan didn't go into full sobs, but he did place his hand to his lips as tears streamed from his chocolate brown eyes. It was almost too much to hear his name. He could still remember Carlos' laugh, the whimsical sound of his voice, the way he walked, the way he smelled. Logan knew when he met Carlos that he was instantly in love with him, and now he didn't even know where Carlos was. He had so many plans, so many dreams, for his relationship with Carlos and now they were all over.
I thought we would be simple together
I thought we would be happy together
I thought we would be limitless together
I thought we would be growing together
but I was sadly mistaken
Logan wiped his eyes, and regained his composure. As if from nowhere, a tall, asian woman with a tray of make-up was shoving sponges in his face. He once again looked like he a young, budding rockstar and the interview was ready to get started again. The lights came up, and the camera was rolling.
Nine-hundred miles away, a small boy was wrapped up on a cheap polyester couch, a knit quilt around his caramel, shivering legs. A small tv set glowed in the dark one room studio apartment, a box of tissues was near by. He watched as his ex-bestfriend, and boyfriend, answered question after question about his life, his album, and relationship's. All the latest details of Logan Mitchell's life, and he had to hear about them from a stupid television interview.
"I guess I just wasn't what he wanted anymore." he heard the words fall from Logan's lips, and his lips were instantly quivering. How could Logan think that, he wondered, how could he not know how special he was to me? Every good memory of my youth, that I have, has Logan in it.
You've been my soul-mate, and mentor
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you, I knew God's face was handsome
With you, I suffered an expansion
Carlos Garcia tried to forget, but he simply couldn't. It didn't matter if he drove to the other side of the country, and kept himself locked away in some anonymous job in a tiny apartment. He thought the pain was subside if he removed himself from anything to do with Logan. Of course, he was wrong. He felt more pain now than ever. Ending things with Logan was the biggest mistake he had ever made. He only did it because he was afraid being gay would hold Logan back from reaching his career goal. Feeling more alone than ever, he began weeping into his blanket.
This loss is numbing me
It burns in my chest
and I can't stop dropping everything
Only a few minutes after meeting Logan, Carlos was already planning the rest of their lives together. He didn't even realize that Logan was gay, and he knew that he was going to spend the rest of his life with him. They would start dating, becoming the favorite couple of all their friends. They would go to the same college, where they would rely on each other for emotional support. After their first year, they were going to move in together, and he would get a job to support Logan while he was pre-med. Then, before medical school, Logan would propose to him. They would enjoy a long engagement while Logan studied to become a doctor, and right before his residency started they would get married in Nova Scotia. Carlos was so specific in his fantasy, that he had even picked out names for the children they would adopt. He had so many dreams, and he had single-handedly destroyed all of them.
I thought we would be sexy together
I thought we would be be evolving together
I thought we would have children together
I thought we would be family together
but I was sadly mistaken
As the interview wrapped up, Logan couldn't help but remember ever moment, every fight, every point of tension they had ever had. He fought so hard to get Carlos to change his mind, and too take him back, but Carlos had simply moved on. He didn't want Logan anymore, and he made it clear. No matter how much Logan tried, no matter what romantic gesture he performed, Carlos simply had no interest in him. Logan pointed out every reason they should be together, and Carlos wouldn't listen to any of it. After finishing the interview, Logan had to run from the studio so that none of the crew would see the tears falling from his eyes. He reached his car, yanking up the door and slamming it shut behind him. His head fell against the steering wheel and he sobbed while he tried to think of what he had done wrong.
If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for every possibility I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe
Logan turned the car on, and began driving the winding roads of Los Angeles, taking the route back to his home-no-his house. It wasn't a home without the love of his life. Might as well accept this, Logan thought, this is going to hurt for the rest of my life. It didn't matter what happens, Logan knew he would forever be caught in a trap of despair, and pain. He would never be able to love, or be truly happen, ever again.
I thought we would be genius together
I thought we would be healing together
I thought we would be growing together
I thought we would be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken
-the end-
