Prologue

"He wasn't supposed to the only one to die. We should have died with him" Kendall Knight thought to himself as he rubbed his face with his hands, feeling the scratches where the glass cut his skin.

Kendall sat with James Diamond and Carlos Garcia on the chairs next to the Palm Woods Pool. The sun had set, and a blanket of darkness covered the sky. No stars lit up the stars. Nothing should be bright tonight. Light meant happiness, and if Logan wasn't sitting next to them, then happiness should never return.

Kendall stared hard at the water that seemed oddly still. Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan had once swam in that pool. They still should be.

Next to Kendall, sat Carlos. Being the youngest of the group, he always felt like he was going to be the last one to mature into adult. Over the past couple days, he felt like he had aged a hundred years.

James sat on the other side of Carlos. Tugging at his suit, he wished he never had to put on the stupid thing. James liked to get dressed up for any occasion, but it was one of those times that he just wanted to be in sweats, lying around the house with his three best friends and watching some hockey on TV.

But James didn't have three best friends any more, he only had two. It should be three.

Carlos looked up at the sky, wondering if Logan was looking down on them. If Logan was there with them, Kendall, James, and Carlos would have already came up with some crazy idea, and Logan would be trying to talk them out of it by using his logic.

But Logan wasn't there to share his logic anymore.

Carlos buried his head into his hands and cried. He felt Kendall and James hug him, whispering it was going to be alright. But they all knew it wasn't going to be alright. One of their best friends was dead.

"So, what are we going to do tonight?"

Kendall, James, and Carlos looked up to see who said that. And standing in front of them was the boy who's body had been laid to rest that day.

Logan.

Kendall, James, and Carlos looked at Logan.

"He isn't real. He can't be." James thought to himself.

"So, what are we going to do tonight?" Logan questioned again.

"What the hell!" Kendall cried out.

"Did I do something wrong?" Logan asked.

"You can't be real, dude. You're dead." Kendall said, his disbelief obvious in his voice.

"I am dead. I just was given the choice to move on or stay here. I decided to stay." Logan said shrugging, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Impossible." Carlos muttered.

"Guys, don't you see? This is awesome. We can hang every night. It can be like old times."

Kendall, James, and Carlos remained silent, pondering with the thought that they were seeing their deceased best friend.

"Geez James, you look awful." Logan said, breaking the silence.

James looked up at Logan, eyes red from crying all day.

"Well you see Logan, I should look this bad, seeing the fact that I just buried my best friend today and I'm seeing him again!" James screamed.

"Keep your voice down. Inside voice, remember?" Logan teased.

"This can't be happening." James said burying his face in his hands.

"Guys, stop freaking out. I may be dead, and you're alive, but that doesn't change things. Were still the same four best friends that moved from Minnesota to L.A. and became a hit singing group. Nothing changed expect for the fact that three of us and living and one is dead."

"It's the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time, right?"

Kendall looked at Logan, smiling.

"I'm happy your back."

And he got up and gave Logan a hug. James and Carlos got up and joined the hug. Logan tagged Carlos.

"You're it!" He said, and ran off.

Carlos grinned and tagged James.

"You're it!" Carlos said, and ran.

James turned to Kendall and went to tag him, but Kendall jumped back.

"Not so fast, pretty boy." Kendall teased, and then ran off like Carlos and Logan.

James shook his head, grinning. Just like Logan said, it was going to be just like old times.
