Author's note: my sister and I are dying to watch big time break up, unfortunately not even the promos out. So she asked me to write a story of the then synopsis of the episode: Kendall sees Jo kissing Logan, he punches Logan in the face and Logan runs back to Minnesota. So… here it is, I hope you like part 1.

It starts the way things usually do around the palm woods, by the pool in some dramatic and spectacular fashion. When James storms down to the poolside and flips into the empty pool chair next to Logan. "This is horrifying" he tells Logan with a dramatic flourish of his wrist "no! It's horrific, no! It's horrifyingly horrific!" he flails in his seat, poking Logan in his side for emphasis.

"You do know that horrifying and horrific are the same word in different tense, don't you?" He shot back lazily, slapping James' hand and lifting his sunglasses to rub his eyes, hoping to feel more alert. "I don't even know what that means" James hisses at him, "but for important time reasons I am choosing to ignore that last statement." He flails some more and Logan quirks his eyebrow at him. He can't resist antagonising the younger boy.

"aren't you in fact wasting more time, which you apparently don't have enough of, telling me-" James silenced him by placing his finger hand to his lips, mimicking a motion Logan thought only librarians and crazy method actresses used. "look snarky, I don't have time for this, we are currently in mid-crisis here and I'm freaking out!" Logan finally sat up, out of all the btr boys he was usually the least prone to indulging James in his little 'quirks.' Which is probably why in the long run they seemed to magnify when they spent time together to compensate. Well not today.

"Alright then," he smiled sincerely at him, "you have my undivided attention." James eyes lite up like Logan had offered him ice cream or a year supply of cuda products or some twisted combination of the two. This reaction was not necessarily bad but had not been the intended reaction. "Undivided?" he James echoed excitedly, he was jumping up and down like a puppy or Carlos when he got into the sugar.

"Is this offer refundable? Does it have an expiration date? Do I have to use it now or can I save it for a special occasion?"

"I guess you can choose to wait, if this hair emergency is no longer devastating to your psyche," he motioned at James hair, which had been plaited into several thin, neat braids. "I assume that was the crisis you were mid-flail about," that seemed to snap James out of his ridiculous expression and wrestled with his hair trying to undo the braids. "Katie and that ginger kid got me while I was sleeping," his voice deep and a little reminiscent of how he used to talk to himself in the mirror. Logan assumed that didn't happen anymore, or at least didn't happen when he was around. It was one of those 'quirks' Logan didn't actually mind, James psyching himself up in the mirror was sort of like when Kendall convinced him to take a risk. Mostly harmless.

"That doesn't count right?" James asked suddenly and fearfully clutching at Logan's hand that was tangled in his kinked hair as he tried to assist in undoing the braids. "Hmm-" Logan replied confused, freeing one of his hands from the mess of hair and fingers, "you're daydreaming right now! That's not undivided, I clearly saw your attention split and go off it tow different directions!"

Logan laughed lightly at James unnecessary panic, "you have my attention James, now and whenever else you want it. You're my best friend." Logan's speech halted, there was nothing incorrect or unnatural about the statement, but Logan felt like ha had forgotten something. Not taken something in consideration. James shot him one of his patented 'thank-all-the-little-people-and-yes-you-are-a-little-people-logan' smiles at him and the uneasy feeling he felt washed away.

"So plans then?" Logan asked curiously, removing his hands completely from the hair disaster, he really was more harm than good there. James pointed to his hair in annoyance and embarrassment and it hit Logan how panicked James must have been to come down to the pool looking like that, or how much effort it was taking to talk to Logan, in public, with less than perfect hair.

"And after?" he prompted, James smoothed his hair in vein, "after what looks to be hours of damage control?" James said shrilly, "well-" he paused voice more even now, "I think I'll take Carlos to the park, I promised him we'd play one on one street hockey!" he pumped his free hand excitedly.

Logan grinned at James, he had been the only one to really drop hockey completely after the move, but then again even back in Minnesota he had always been more of a strategist than a player or enthusiast. Still- he was glad James was scheduling in time with Carlos to have a game, it helped them both de-stress and not get so worked up. James used to take him every week for a little one on one match to stop him bouncing of the walls. Now they had dancing to control all that pent up energy- but that didn't mean Carlos didn't still get antsy.

"You wanna come?" he asked him excitedly, James grabbed onto Logan's sleeve pulling repeatedly in small excited jerks. "It's not really one on one if I-" Logan reasoned, James and Carlos deserved some one on one time, it was sort of necessary for everybody's sanity. "Aw-" James whined, though the smile never left his face, "maybe if we invited Kendall-" Logan shook his head. "I think he's still staking out Gustavo's office, trying to put his input on the new song." After 'Oh Yeah,' Kendall was trying to get more involved in the music/lyrics side of things. Logan could tell it made James nervous, that he was coming together as a musician, but Logan was sort of glad.

Kendall needed something to take up his hours that he was passionate about, like hockey used to. Dancing and harmonies clearly didn't do it for him. He couldn't be the only one to notice the sharp increase in wacky plans, and an underlining impatience Kendall had been exuding had finally calmed.

"I guess," James stood patting Logan on the shoulder; he wondered off to fix his damaged hair. It really was a disaster zone.

**********-_BTR_-*************

Katie and Carlos were giggling maniacally when James flounced past, Carlos had been the one to suggest the hair braiding to Katie, though Katie had been the one to blame the whole thing on Tyler. "We are geniuses!" Carlos told her seriously, she nodded, and there had been a good few hours of James freaking out before Logan had inadvertentlycalmed him down.

"Does Logan usually have that affect on him? I mean one minute he has ready to throw down, like in a 'hair-pulling-hold-my-earrings' sort of way, and now he's all calm."She gestured at the tall boys retreating form, "yeah…" Carlos replied unconcerned, "Logan's always calmed James down, he's better at it since they've become closer though."

She narrowed her eyes at Logan who was innocently reading a science book near the pool, she could almost hear her signature 'I'm so innocent' music playing in the background. "Does he seem different to you?" But Carlos had seem to have checked out of the conversation, as the Jennifer's were coming their way and they looked like a bag of cats that had been dumped into water. Though they were still walking in slow motion.

They seemed seriously pissed.

"Hello Carlos," blonde Jenifer hissed at him, her arms were crossed and she glared at him, 'curly haired' Jennifer crossed her arms in a similar manner, with the signature Jennifer embellishment. The third Jennifer just looked away in a disheartened fashion until blonde Jenifer elbowed her. She quickly straightened out and sent him a slightly less venomous glare than the other two.

"Hey Jennifer," he said softly, waving at the brunette girl, but all it did was earn him a genuine glare from all three with their synchronized hair flip. "We have a job for you, and since you do -you know- owe us you'd better do as we say!" blonde Jenifer demanded, as three hands reached out and grabbed his sweatshirt.

"Help me" he squeaked at Katie who shook her head, "you don't get anymore Katie help until you pay your tab you collected from the prom." The girls hissed at the mention of prom, Carlos held up a 'Wile. E coyote-esk' sign that said 'EEP!' In big letters until he was forcibly manhandled out of the lobby.

Katie sighed, well there went her entertainment off to meet some horrifying and girly-evil related death. She eyed up Bitters, but he wasn't doing anything suspicious, actually- he looked like he might be actually doing his job. Something must be up there.

"Hey Katie," Jo smiled walking up to her bouncily- she had the day off and had an extra bounce in her step. "Wow," Katie surveyed Jo's outfit, "look who looks like a girl." Jo grinned picking up her long skirt and spinning around, "thanks, I think, I thought I'd surprise Kendall, have you seen him?" Katie shook her head, "he's hanging at Rouque records I think, he was all excited about these knew lyrics, apparently someone 'tears him up inside and he just can't take it anymore.' Or something."

Jo rolled her eyes, "that sounds like a winner," she looked down at her outfit, "so much for that surprise, I was so sure he had the day off!" Katie shrugged "He does." She made a dismissive hand gesture, "but he's a boy, they do stupid stuff." She looked over at Logan and then back at Jo, "-but if you have nothing to do… maybe you could do me a favour."

She turned her gigantic little girl eyes at her, "maybe you can hang out with Logan. Explain to me why he's got it all together all of a sudden!" Jo wrinkled her nose, "Logan would never hang out with me, and he passive aggressively hates me!" Katie rolled her eyes, actors! So dramatic. "Nah he just doesn't know you," Jo swung her bag back and forth in discomfort. "Then why don't you do it? I wont be able to tell what's different." Katie shook her head, "I have more pressing, non-Logan related matters to attend to, plus you should TRY to make friends with him-he and Kendall are sort of a package deal." She grinned encouragingly at Jo before muttering "or at least they used to be."

She left Jo with thumbs up and made a beeline for the suspiciously hard working Bitters.

**********-_BTR_-*************

Kendall was in the recording studio, guitar in one hand and sheet music in the other. "NO!" Gustavo screamed inches from Kendall's face, "but-" Kendall started using his most persuasive voice "NO!" he screamed again banging the keys of the piano harshly in time with his screams. "but I just wanted to-" Gustavo interrupted by smashing the keys of the piano again, though admittedly in a slightly more musical way."nooo- nooooo" he sang along, "dog's don't get to write me songs." He followed it up with an admittedly impressive piano solo, the slammed the piano cover down over the keys, almost taking off Kendall's fingers who had been leaning his hand there.

"why not! I have some perfectly good ideas! He threw his hands up, gesturing wildly. "oh yeah, that's right! Remember the last time you and the dogs had a brilliant idea that involved the lyrics to one of my precious songs!"

"we returned those birds to the reserve right after!"

*FLASHBACK*

"hey remember how we worked out the lyrics to the oh and yeah songs?"

"by working together and not fighting?"

"by trashing the studio?"

"by dressing Logan in drag?"

"WHAT!"

"it was actually very helpful!"

"No! we listened to what the peace and quiet had to tell us…"

"so we should be really quiet?"

"Hell no, nature is peaceful right? So lets bring the nature to us!"

*END FLASHBACK*

"and how exactly did that lead to the fifty birds that invaded my office for two days?" Gustavo exclaimed loudly, "birds are apart of nature" kendall replied defensivly. "I don't see how Logan would have been on board with that plan…" Kelly said sticking her head into the office after having warily been listening to the two outside the room.

"he was at the planetarium checking out the Mars exhibit or something," Kendall explained with a self satisfied grin, "he said he'd never go back there again. Apparently we do stupid things when he's not around."

Both Kelly and Gustavo shook there heads in disbelief, "aren't you the plan guy Kendall? Not Logan" Kelly asked curiously. "well sure, but Logan only lets the plans go through if he thinks no one would get seriously injured so he vetoes about one third of my plans and he insists on fine tuning about half of the ones he lets us do." He scratched the back of his head grinning fondly, "he prevented such plans as 'the great chicken heist of 2006' from be actualized. Which is good because in retrospect that would have been awful and had a potential body count."

Both Kelly and Gustavo looked and Kendall and then each other, and then took one giant step away from the blonde teen.

**********-_BTR_-*************

Jo and Logan sat awkwardly side by side on a pool side chair, Logan stiffly handed Jo a smoothie. "So- ah what did you want to talk about?" he played with his straw distractedly, Jo looked away embarrassed, this was not going well. She took a distracted sip from her smoothie and almost chocked when the strawberry hit her taste buds. "you let me have the pink one?" she squeaked in surprise.

"what was that wrong!" Logan asked panicky, looking hard at Jo's strawberry smoothie and then down at his blue raspberry one. "I'm sorry, I'm usually with James or Camille when we get smoothies and they always want the 'her' smoothies." He shoved his blue smoothie under her nose, "you can have mine if you want," he looked up at her guiltily; he had slid of the seat mid flail and hadn't even noticed.

"Ah no!" she cried "I love strawberry smoothies, raspberry actually makes me feel a little nauseous" she confessed. Logan's face broke out in a grin then he snorted in disbelief "but I see you drinking raspberry smoothies all the time," she grinned waving her hand airily. "Kendall always gets me the blue one! I don't know why he insists on his and her smoothies."

Jo giggled and Logan's put upon expression, "he always does that to me too! That's the reason I got so used to drinking raspberry…" she nodded sympathetically. "this is actually sort of what I wanted to talk to you about" she started hesitantly, "what Kendall's gender confusion which leads him to assign gender roles on to colours and flavours of smoothies and other beverages?"

"No! Kendall's not gender confused" she scolded, "wait- what other beverages? You know what don't answer that I wanted to talk about our relationship." Logan chocked on his straw, this was not a good day from him and cold drinks, "I wasn't aware that we hand a relationship Jo," he splutters. "We don't that's the problem."

"Come again?" he replies weakly, "I want us to be friends" she clarifies quickly, "it's just you're Kendall's best friend and I'm his girlfriend and it makes sense that we should be friends." Logan rolled his eyes that was such girl logic. "well it was a little awkward after I made an idiot out of myself serenading you from you balcony," Logan still actively cringes at the memory.

Jo went a little red, "well you didn't really know me then either," Logan nods "that's right, for some reason we were all under the misconception that you enjoyed hockey." Jo sighed, "yes Kendall seemed very put out about that," she sighed further when Logan nodded like he completely understood how not liking hockey had been an almost deal breaker in the relationship.

"sooo-" she said clutching her knees with her hands, "how exactly do we become friends, is there some sort of ritual you boys do." Logan smirks, "only if you want to be part of the He-man women haters club which I'm assuming you don't." she crossed her arms grinning waiting for a real answer.

"I don't know" he confessed after a moment of thought on the subject, "I don't really know how to force it."

"well," she said furrowing her eyebrows in a Kendall-esk manner, "how did you make friends with everyone?" she stood up, extending her hand to him to help him up, "well I met James when I was six" he counted off with his fingers, "his piano lesson was right after mine, and I met Carlos and Kendall at the skating ring when we were eight." He put a hand up to his face in thought, "oh yeah! And Camille slapped me the first time she properly introduced herself."

Jo processed this, shrugged and slapped Logan with a resounding smack. "Ah!" he cried in more surprise than pain, "what did you do that for?" he rubbed his cheek trying to disperse the blood supply before it left a large red spot indicating he had been slap yet again. What was he a magnet for that sort of thing.

"that's one down" Jo told him proudly, "only two more." She held up a peace sign and grinned mischievously at him. "now I don't know how to play the piano, but I'll give it ago! There's one at your studio right?"

Logan nodded dumbly, letting her drag him off to the studio. He know understood his initial attraction to Jo- he always did like the crazy ones…

He could see himself liking her as a friend though, she was proving to be some odd combination of Kendall and Camille- and well if nothing else, he knew how to deal with that.

**********-_BTR_-*************

Carlos looked terrified. He had a Jennifer on each side of him, and one guiding him with a firm hand from behind him- it was almost like a dream he had only they were angry at him and not holding corndogs. "This," blonde Jennifer said pushing him through a large set of polished doors, "is the theatre we use to practice in." Carlos was shaking; this was not looking good for him "u-uh what is this about guys," they all shot him poisonous looks, and he stumbled over himself to correct it, "I mean Jennifers."

'Curly haired' Jennifer pulled him down the isle and then up onto the barren stage. "We," she motioned to the other two Jennifer's "are trying to break into musical theatre," she scowled, "it has been harder than previously anticipated." Brunette Jennifer piped up, "so we need to practice with a partner, "someone flamboyant" Blonde Jennifer added, "and really" she said in slight disgust, "who's more flamboyant than you?"

"James!" Carlos answered immediately, loudly and surely, it garnered a laugh from one of the girls. "Who's James?" Brunette Jennifer asked in a stage whisper to 'curly haired' Jennifer, who merely wiggled her hands in front of her face in a fairly accurate portrayal of James' 'the face.' A moment of recognition passes over her face and she makes the appropriate, I-see-what-you-did-there "ah!"

"So- ah this is a musical?" Carlos yelped, breaking the two girls focus, "y-yes" 'Curly haired' Jennifer replied regaining her bearing. Carlos slipped a hand into his pocket unnoticed texting an S.O.S to James, he did not what to be a leading man in Pippin or Annie or something equally gross. Even if that did make him the leading man to the Jennifers.

"It's rent," Brunette Jennifer piped up helpfully, Carlos let out a relieved smile. "Why didn't you just say?" she gave him a quirky half smile grabbing his hand and pulling him down stage, "your Roger and I'm Mimi."

"Would you light my candle?"

**********-_BTR_-*************

Kendall strummed another cord on the guitar and Gustavo frowned, "what kind of boy band song was that?" he sounded decidedly less angry than an hour ago and even smiled. " I prefer to think of us as a vocal group," Kendall replied weakl, "I don't really know if it's right," he told Gustavo honestly "but I like the lyrics okay."

"the lyrics are great!" Kelly told him enthusiastically, looking at him the way hie mum sometimes looked at him when he does well on a test or helps Katie out with his homework. "The music is a death march," Gustavo interjects bluntly. "But- it's workable" he relents after buckling under the pressure of Kelly's almighty glare.

Kendall smiles at them, "workable's good right?" Gustavo sighs but smiles back, "it's a melodical nightmare- but it's a hell of a lot better than the first take of 'oh yeah'" Gustavo shook his head, "that one needed all my magic lone wolf powers to salvage."

Kendall frowned deeply, Carlos and James had basically written all of that song, "It," Kelly rushed when she caught the unpleasant expression on his face, "was also workable- it ended up being one of your better songs" she added to Gustavo.

"So-" Kendall began, fiddling with the strings of his gitaur, "how exactly do we make it workable?" Gustavo flourished his wrist in response, "the same way all musicians do- we seek out music from our experiences." That sounded suspiciously like something Katie would say.

"where are our experiences then?" Kendall asked worriedly, hoping he was not going to have to sit in the quiet again, "how do you feel about ice-cream? " Kelly asked grabbing Kendall's gituar from him and packing it away. "I have very strong feelings about the subject" he grinned at her.

A small object flung into the air and hit Kendall straight in the chest, he looked down at the projectile and recognised Gustavo's keys. "hey kid, you have your permit yet?"

**********-_BTR_-*************

Logan and Jo just missed Kendall it seemed by minuets, but Freight Train was kind enough to let them in anyway. "Where did they go?" she asked incredulously- she had been hoping Kendall would join them. "Ice-cream," her face fell, this was the worst day off ever.

"Why didn't you go with them Big FT?" Logan asked making Jo jump, she had temporarily forgotten he was beside her. Freight Train feigned disinterest, "they didn't ask," Jo's blood boiled a little, this clearly wasn't a good day for anyone. Logan shot Jo and looked and she returned it with her own matching expression, "hey FT," Logan addressed him hesitantly "do you know how to play the piano?"

Freight Train didn't but his mood was considerably lighter from there on out, "do you guys need a ride?" he offered, Jo jumped at the chance, "oh! Me! Me! I always wanted to, it looks like a lot a fun when you guys do it." She jumped full force into Freight Trains expecting arms.

Logan pouted a little, "no fair, you're my body guard… sorta, I should get dibs!" Freight Train held Jo with one hand in a bridal position and then grabbed Logan by the belt throwing him over his shoulder in a fireman's carry. Logan yelped with surprise and both Jo and Logan felt the rumbling vibrations of Freight Train's laugh. He barrelled full force to the practice room.

He flung Logan down first on the piano seat, and careful set Jo down to stand on the dance floor. "thank you kind sir," she beamed at him, "anything for you my lady." A loud noise beeped from Freight Train's pocket, "I have to take this," he told Jo apologetically pulling out his phone and stepping outside the door. "be good, kids."

They chorused a good bye to him, and Jo sat herself down next to Logan, "how long have you been playing?" she asked curiously watching his fingers flex just about the keys. "I guess… eleven years on and off," he began playing a tune she didn't recognise, "since before me and James were friends- I was never super talented and neither was he. But we sort of both went nuts over it for a while." The music stuttered before continuing "we were competitive, not like Kendall, just you know driven to be good at something."

Jo grinned at the thought of a little Logan and a little James playing piano together, Logan trying to correct James' fingers and James complaining Logan was a side bench driver. She wondered what Kendall was like, so she asked. "loud" he responded quickly, music playing a more caotic tune that some how suited Kendall. "I didn't like him straight away," he admitted, "he was very loud and like twice my hight."

"did he always have the…" she pointed to her face and trailed off, "the eyebrows?" he asked in half a laugh, "yeah! He's always had those, he used to look like a little cave man." She grinned at the thought of little angelic Kendall with his too big for his face eyebrows. "James' mum tried to wax them once, they grew back over night- I think they're the only thing to ever defeat Brooke Diamond."

Jo gaped at him for a second, James' mum was the Brooke Diamond- she was wearing her makeup as they speak! No wonder James was always so impeccably groomed, that explained so much.

Logan's hands shifted to a familiar tune of 'Any kind of guy.' The no longer a ballad song the boys had serenaded her with, which admittedly sounded a whole lot different with just a piano. "how did become BFF's then if you were afraid of him," he smiled to himself, "no afraid" he muttered.

"James and Carlos sort of 'found' each other- James insisted he found his soul mate," Jo giggled because that was sort of the dramatic statement James would make. "it really was a pair the spares situation, but Kendall turned out to be not scary and a really cool guy."

"so you guys were soul mates?" she asked through her giggles, "oh no," he said seriously "we were never quiet as 'intense' as James and Carlos." Jo let out a bout of laughter, because really, that was not even close to true.

**********-_BTR_-*************

"Hurry, sir, Carlos is in trouble!" James yelled at Camille's dad, "calm down son, I'm sure your little friends fine." The man replied soothingly from his position in the driver's seat, he could see how this boy and his daughter were friends, they both had a flair for the dramatics. "No daddy, this is life or death!" Camille insisted from her seat in the back next to James, "the text said S.O.S, which means save our souls! Which means Carlos' soul is in danger!"

"THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS!" James screeched, "Oh my god, the Jennifers are soul eating monsters!" Camille's dad rolled his eyes, "no more horror movies for you two unless your in one." He told them sternly, eyeing them through his rear view mirror. James had grabbed hold of Camille pulling her close, "Carlos is going to die without ever having a girlfriend."

"I'm not dating Carlos for you James" she told him exasperatedly as if they had, had the conversation over and over, "I'm with Steven." She folded her arms defiantly, "Oh please, we all know that Steven is at best a rebound- a pallet cleanser if you will." He knicked he phone and pulled it out of her reach, "we all know who you still have as your screen saver!"

He fiddled with her phone, "actually… you have a lot of pictures of him in here… is he asleep in this one Camille? Did you sneak into apartment? Oh look! It's a good one of me and him, I'm gonna send it to my phone."

"how is Logan anyway? Such a nice boy," her dad asked pleasantly, he'd always liked that boy, an upright kid with reasonable aspirations. He eyed the two teens in the backseat, "such a brave boy" he added quietly, he had to be brave to have friends like that. "well this is it" he parked the car, both teens clambered out, only to rush back, "thanks for the ride daddy," she kissed his cheek. "thank you sir" James said politely, he extended his hand and the older man grabbed it tight pulling him in.

"don't think this doesn't mean we wont be discussing that little lip lock you and my daughter had," he told James menacingly. "there was a bomb!" James squeaked helplessly and Camille grabbed his hand and dragged him forward "a bomb!" he repeated for emphasis.

They threw the doors open to find Carlos and the brunette Jennifer in lip lock.

"OH MY GOD SHE IS TRYING TO SUCK OUT HIS SOUL!" James shrieked, Jennifer and Carlos broke apart red faced. Camille slapped James, "hey!" he cried indignantly, "your not supposed to do that to me! You don't want to date me" James held his cheek pitifully. "your being hysterical, they were making out you idiot."

James head turned slowly to look at the stage, "ohh-" he paused and then, "Carlitos, you wanted me to save you from making out with a hot girl?" James gasped "is there something you need to tell me!"

Carlo went even redder, and Camille slapped James again, "we should go" she muttered. "No- I'm getting to the bottom of this!" James exclaimed, watching his embarrassed friends slink of the stage.

"Suit yourself," she wondered back to her dad's car, maybe she could hang out with Jo.

**********-_BTR_-*************

Jo shrieked, Logan held her hands firmly, "your doing fine" he assured her, watching carefully and she wobbled precariously on her skates. "I'm going to die Logan" she moaned, "you said Carlos and James would be here to help!"

"You should be glad they're not, they would be making so much fun of you right now," he smirk at her, and she released one of her hands to smack him. "Shut up!" she cried and then shoved him, knocking him to the ground, not seeming to realise that without the person holding her up she would fall too. "Good job there Taylor, and they say I'm the smart one" he goaded her, "hey" she said indignantly, rubbing her backside, "I maintain a 4.0 grade average."

His grin slid off "really?" he laughed "that ridiculously hot I hope you know," he told her without thinking and then blushed a dark red. "yes I know" she smirked at him, "and I'm new to town and fell in love with the first guy I met and I'm part farey." Logan finally caught on what she was doing, "oh did you Rachel," he responded cracking up.

He stood up taking her with him, "alright if your Rachel, I'm Drake the brother of a vampire and the coolest guy in school. It is said I hold the key to the mystery that is new town high." He imitated Jet's deeper voice, quirking his eyebrow.

"You watch the show?" she breathed, ridiculously pleased, Logan rolled his eyes "only a thousand times, Kendall made me to see if there was some underlining chemistry between you and Jet." She pouted a little, she had hoped he kind of liked it, "your good though" he tells her as an after thought, "your character's likable, strong willed- she's not an annoying cookie cutter leading lady."

"Also," Jo added, "she hates the cold as do I" she wrapped her arms around herself, "you really do like the show?" she grinned happily to herself attempting to glide along with her skates. "I don't think Rachel will end up with Drake though," she told him, Kendall never wanted to talk to her about the show, she couldn't resist.

"I can see that" he replied easily, reaching out a hand to steady her, "she's way to good to be the supporting character in her own show." She beamed at him, "I know right?"

"That doesn't mean me and James didn't stage a very loud conversation in Kendall and my room saying that we thought they were going to be together forever." He told her cheekily and skidded off ahead of her spraying her with ice.

**********-_BTR_-*************

As it turned out- no, Kendall could not drive a car. Not even with supervision, and certainly not if Gustavo was that supervision. Kelly dropped Kendall at the Palmwoods and sped off, James, Carlos and the Jennifers of all people had called her apparently begging for a ride. "what's that about?" Kendall muttered, "Oh, Carlos and the Jennifers were practicing for RENT and James went to save him only he didn't need saving, but James thought the Jennifers were trying to eat Carlos' soul." Camille told him materialising out of nowhere to scare him.

"well- okay" Kendall laughed, because yeah that sounded about on par for James and Carlos. "I helped" she added, "and my dad threatened James!" and that also sounded about right.

"Were you hanging out with Logie today Camille?" he asked slyly noting her happy expression, "nah I just got back, plus I'm happy not ecstatic. I spent the entire afternoon helping find Carlos who I think was cheating on James with a Jennifer- is was all very vague."

"So you haven't seen Logie?" he scanned the lobby, well then where was he? "he's not in 2J or by the pool either, I don't know where he went," Camille told Kendall. "I was gonna go hang out with Jo."

"Jo had the day off?" he exclaimed with surprise, looking at his phone to see several missed calls. "Wow, Logan was right, you guys are bad communicators" Camille giggled at Kendall's deep scowl. "We are not!" he swung his arm around Camille, he was a great communicator God damn it! He led Camille to the elevator; well… hanging out with two cute girls would make him feel better.

**********-_BTR_-*************

"Thanks for walking me to my door," Jo told Logan, "does this officially make us friends now?" she asked hopefully, "of course" Logan cheered sliding his arm around her, "you had me when you slapped me in the face." She giggled, sure she did.

"Oh John, I'm so glad we got to know each other" she said dramatically, putting on her 'Rachel' voice. "oh don't make me John" he whined, "Rachel is obviously ending up with John!" she push his friendlily, "he is not" she cried in fake indigence , "is too" he pushed back.

He gave her a silly, but intense look, "oh Rachel" he cried "I don't think I've ever had a friend like you." Jo made a face John's actor, Greg actually did make faces like that in show, and that was a line from the second episode. "well that's because there's never been a girl like me before," she recited over the top, sure the line sounded suggestive now that he pointed it out. She should get him to read her scripts in advance.

He grabbed her pulling her down and pretended to kiss her, "and then they kiss" he exclaimed, his lips accidently brushing her cheek. "they are so my new OTP" he told her, "that's just cause you don't like Jett," she teased back. They stood back up about to laugh when they caught sight of two stunned figures in the hallway.

Kendall surged forward and punched Logan before he even knew what he was doing. Camille screamed in surprise and Jo caught Logan in the reel and they both collapsed on the floor.

"YOU- YOU ASSHOLE!" he yelled, though it wasn't clear who he was yelling at, "how could you?" that statement was directed at Jo, "and YOU! HOW COULD YOU!"

"What the HELL Kendall!" Jo yelled right back, "pushing Logan gently off her. "What the hell? What the hell!" he yelled back, "how did you even get her to kiss you Logan?" he hissed at him venomously, "what did you promise her? Or did you just trick her?" he snarled and Logan flinched, "that's it isn't it, of course it is! I'm mean who in their right mind would want to kiss YOU?"

"what!" Jo and Camille cried together, Logan kept his eyes downcast like he was trying to make it all go away. "How dare you Kendall, Logan is your best friend, how can you say something like that?" she glared, "Camille would kiss him" but Camille was frozen in shock, "and- and so would I!"

What Jo did next was monumentally stupid and 100% out of anger, their teeth clacked painfully and he could taste the blood in his mouth from when Kendall had punched him. Logan pushed her away.

"Kendall we didn't- I mean we just did- but" Logan fumbled, and he held his jaw tightly. Kendall looked past the point of fury, past the point of hurt. He looked at Logan in a way he never had before. "I hope this hurts you."

Kendall spun around and grabbed Camille's wrists tight, pressing their lips together. Camille didn't move, she didn't do anything and Kendall kept her wrists in his hands tight. He didn't stop kissing her until Logan threw him into a wall."

"don't- don't do this," his voice cracked, he kissed the inside of Camille's wrist and sent her a sad look. Camille snapped out of her trance. "you did this" Kendall shot back, there was no emotion there. No anymore.

And all of a sudden it was too much, "I can't do this," he muttered taking off at a run, "LOGAN!" Jo called after him but he just ran faster.

Jo hit Kendall as hard as she could, "why would you do that?" Kendall didn't look angry anymore, "he kissed you, he betrayed me."

"no he didn't- nobody kissed anybody at least not that first time, we were mucking about the first time Kendall, and the second time I was angry. We were trying to get along for you, you asshole."

"w-what?" Jo sank to the floor, "read your god damn phone messages next time."

"do you really think" Camille's voice broke through the tension, "that he would do that to you Kendall." Kendall turned to her pained, "Camille, I'm-"

"you're sorry? I hope so Kendall Knight." And she walked off, slow and even down the hall. Kendall thought he may have just seen 100% Camille for the first time.

He turned back to Jo, and sank to the floor, back up against the wall opposite her. "I-I can't." he stumbled over words, every word was too big, too heavy. "can't what Kendall? Forgive us?" Jo asked, " because I've got news for you Kendall Knight you should be begging us for forgiveness." She crawled over to sit next to him and laid her head on his shoulder.

It was quiet, and her throat was raw but she told him, "I love you, and god this isn't how I imagined saying this but this is it! I love you, and you love me and you love him. So we were trying, we really were."

"I- I can't" he sobbed into her shoulder and she wrapped her arms around him, "you can, we've been through worse." She smiled faintly, "remember Jordin?" she joked "remember Jet?" he shot back and they shared a faint smile. "we've been through worse" he echoed back, "but this hurts more, way more."

She held him for a long time, backs pressed tightly to the wall of the hallway outside her apartment. She brushed the hair out of his eyes and he held her hand so tight she thought it might break. And they didn't say anything.

It's hours before Kendall's home. Something isn't right when he get's off the elevator. And something isn't right when he walks down the hall. Something isn't right when his walks in and everyone is sitting on the couch silently and something isn't right when he runs to he room to find Logan's things gone.

Logan's gone.

"Logan's gone," James echos his thoughts, "I don't know what you did but he's gone. He- says- he says he's never coming back.
