"I don't understand though Carlos! We were back on track. Back to where we were meant to be." Sammy said as she looked heart broken at the news she was no longer wanted in Carlos' arms.

"I know... I do know that and I love you Sam, you know I do, but it's just not the same anymore." He said.

Sammy ran her hands through her long dark hair as she tried to make sense of this sudden change of heart from her boyfriend, she pursed her lips as she tried to think of the words that would make everything better.

"I love you though Carlos... please!" She begged.

Carlos looked down at his lap as he sat in his car with Sammy. He thought this was what he wanted, he thought this was the best thing for the long run for himself.

"I need to do my own thing... I can't rush back in to what we were." He said still looking down at his lap.

Sammy swallowed hard as she tried to control the emotion that took over her body but as she blinked the tears began to fall.

"Have you met someone else?" She said through her sobs.

Carlos shook his head. "Why would you even ask that?" He replied softly. He felt so consumed with guilt with how he was making tammy feel. The last thing he wanted was to make her cry. They had been through so much together over the years.

"You have become distant los. You came off the tour and it was amazing for a few weeks, the dates, the fun... the way I thought you felt about me... but lately you have been so distant. Have I done something wrong?" She asked wiping away her constant flow of tears as she twirled her finger mindlessly on the dash of the car.

Carlos stayed silent for a minute. He looked at the girl that he had reduced to a sobbing wreck as she took in sharp breaths to control her tears.

Carlos used to think that Sammy was the one for him. They did everything together. She just wasn't enough now. He knew in his heart that he would love her forever but he also knew that he had to let her go to be the man he wanted to be.

"Sam, you could never do anything wrong. It's not you, it's me." Carlos said, to which Sammy looked up at him angrily.

"It's not you it's me?!" She yelled back at him. "Surely I deserve a better fucking line than 'it's not you it's me!' You complete moron, Carlos!" She raged at him as her blood boiled at the seemingly heartless words from a man Sammy believed to of loved her.

"I didn't mean it like that. Sam... listen. I've changed okay... I just don't want this anymore. I'm sorry." Carlos said as he tried to take sammys hand to comfort her, she brushed him away as anger took over the hurt she felt in her heart.

"So this is it... you are breaking up with me because you are having some kind of episode?!" She snapped. Sammy knew there was no talking him round. She knew it was a lost cause.

She felt Carlos had just strung her along the last few weeks as some kind of publicity stunt to keep the spotlight on him once the tour had finished.

"I want to still be friends sammy." Carlos bargained.

With more angry tears falling from her face, Sammy reached for the handle of the car door. "It's all or nothing Carlos! You can shove your friendship up your ass!" She hissed at him, turned the handle then left the car as she slammed the door shut.

Carlos let out a desperate sigh as he watched such an important part of his life strut herself away from him. It took all his might to not get out of the car and beg her to come back.

He took in a few deep breaths to stop his own tears from making an appearance. He stared thoughtfully out of the car window. The bright LA sun making him squint as he gathered his thoughts.

Wiping the stray tears from his face with the back of his hand, Carlos turned the key in the ignition of his car. It purred in to life and he welcomed the cool blow of the air con on his face. The car had become so hot and stuffy while it had been sat stationary.

With one last deep breath Carlos put the car in gear and drove toward the studio.

James rolled his eyes as he walked in Kendalls trailer on set. He only came in to ask if Kendall wanted to pass the time by playing call of duty on his PlayStation but instead had walked in on Kendall with his tongue stuck down Logan's throat.

"Hehmm." James coughed loudly to show the loved up pair that he was also in the room.

Logan pulled his face away from Kendalls. He tried his best to hide a grin, knowing that the dirty conversation he just had with Kendall had given him the biggest boner.

"Sorry J, didn't hear you come in." Kendall said to James who had an amused look on his face.

"It's cool man, I didn't know you had your logie bear all up in your crib." He said sarcastically.

Kendall turned to look at his boyfriend Logan. The two boys shared a smile.

"I just wondered if you wanted to play the game." He said holding up the PlayStation game that he had brought in with him.

Kendall nodded. "Yeah, im up for that." He said as he budged up on the large couch that ran along his trailer, Kendall gave logans leg a playful rub as he gladly sat closer to him making room for James.

With a bright smile, James sat down with his friends after putting the game disc in. Logan handed out the controllers that had been sat next to him on a small table, the boys began their game and making small chit chat along the way.

"Where is Carlos?" Logan asked as he looked at his watch quickly.

Kendall shrugged as he clicked away on his controller, killing off the enemy in his game.

It was James that shed some light on the where abouts of the fourth member of their band.

"He text me earlier... said he had to take care of something so he might be a bit late in." He replied to Logan's question. He said it without taking his eyes from the flat screen tv as he too battled his soldier to shoot his way to the end of the mission on the game.

Logan nodded. He wanted to get his studio time over and done with quickly so he could be alone with his boyfriend, he had been in a relationship with Kendall for almost 18 months now. With only two controllers for the game, Logan occupied his time playing with a thread that was hanging loosely from Kendalls collar.

He allowed his thumb to stroke at the side of Kendalls neck.

Kendall liked the attention that Logan always offered him. Although their relationship on the outside world of btr was classed as just a friendship, Kendall looked forward to the day that he could walk hand in hand with Logan, maybe buy a home together.

Kendall turned quickly towards his brown eyed lover and gave him a kiss on the forehead before turning back to his game.

Logan smiled to himself then rested his head on Kendalls shoulder as he got comfy. He didn't have the best sleep last night and just wanted to curl up with Kendall and relax.

Chuckling to himself at Kendalls misfortune of being killed in action on the game they played, James felt at ease with his two friends. The amount of times he had walked in on them kissing or worse was beyond the joke now but it was nice to see both his band mates happy.

A vibrating noise made Kendall pause the game. "Is that yours?" He said to Logan as he tried to find the offending phone that was halting game play.

"It's mine... I won't be a minute." James said as he stood up and rummaged in his pocket for his cell phone. On finally pulling it from his overly tight trousers, James walked out from the trailer for some privacy. "Hey, Hals! You okay, baby?" He said as he shut the door.

With a big yawn, Logan wrapped his arm around Kendalls waist.

"Why don't you try and get some sleep?" Kendall asked him as he folded his own arms around his boyfriend.

"No... I won't be able to sleep again tonight if I do that." Logan replied logically.

Kendall nodded. "You staying at mine tonight?" He asked casually.

"Yeah" logan said sleepily. "That organic bed of yours has magical powers." He joked.

Kendall tipped Logan's chin to kiss his lips but the pair were interrupted again, this time though it was Carlos finally making his appearance.

"Sorry im late... me and Sammy called it a day." He replied in a sad tone.

Logan and Kendall looked at each other.

"Sorry to hear that los." Logan said as he sympathized with his friends feelings.

Kendall worried that Carlos had rushed back in to things with Sammy and took this news to be good.

"I'm just gonna get a drink then we can get to work, okay." Carlos said putting a brave face on it. He watched on as his two friends who seemed deeply in love sat intimately with each other, both had the same caring smile on their faces as they looked back at him.

With a heavy feeling in his heart Carlos turned to leave Kendalls trailer, he nodded at James who was stood talking on his cell outside and proceeded to make his way to the vending machine that was inside the studio.

Carlos tried to look on the bright side of things, but he found it difficult to find any. He was hurting, he knew he just wanted to go home and cry it out.

Placing his hand in his pocket for the dollar he knew that was in their for the water he wanted, his phone rang loudly making him jump.

He pulled the cell from his pocket and answered it.

"Hey, you!" He chose as his greeting.

"Hey los!" came the reply that made him smile. "I know I said I wouldn't phone but I needed to know... did you do it?."

Carlos swallowed hard. He tried to put his feelings for sammy away. " Yeah, I did Alexa, I'm all yours now." He replied. He heard the sweet sound of Alexa's excited giggle down the phone line.

"I'm so happy Carlos! You deserve so much better than that." Alexa said in response.

Her words stabbed at his heart slightly but he knew she was right.

"Well I have you now, we can be official soon and everything is going to be perfect... I love you Lex." Carlos said, completly smitten for the girl that had worked her way in to his heart only a few weeks ago...
