Kendall and Logan sealed their lives together with a wedding. But as Carlos and James' wedding approaches, James finds out some things that can change the plans. "I gave you my life!" "And I'm giving it back…" Jarlos and Kogan!
2-shot fic!
The party was now being held, by the pool of the Palm Woods, under a very large tent. The four boys may have been 21, but they still had planned on touring for another year or so. So they still resided in the Palm Woods apartment. Kendall's mother and sister had moved out once the boys were all 18, so there was more room.
"Congratulations!" Carlos ran over to his two best friends.
"Thanks." Logan smiled and hugged his friend.
"I can't believe after all these years you are finally married!" Carlos smiled and hugged Kendall.
"Well in a month, yours and James' lives will become one like ours has." Logan smiled when Kendall wrapped his arms around the other, from behind, and pulled him close.
"Yeah. Then we'll be congratulating you." Kendall laughed and rested his head on Logan's shoulder.
"I can't wait!" Carlos smiled and glanced back when he heard a familiar voice.
"Yes. A month from today." He smiled when he saw James talking to the group of parents.
"Papi… are you interrogating again!" Carlos ran over.
"No mijo! I'm just chatting with my soon to be son in law." He smiled and embraced Carlos.
"Did you cry to much mom?" Kendall asked once he had seen his mothers red eyes.
"She bawled." Katie smiled.
"Looks like you cried as well." Logan snickered and took her chin in his hand and raised it up to have more light on her face.
"I didn't!" Katie grumbled.
"Aw!" Kendall smiled and kissed his sister on the head.
"Oh just stop Kendall!" Katie swatted him away.
"It is now time for the newly weds to have their first dance!" Gustavo announced into the microphone.
"Shall we?" Kendall reached a hand out to Logan.
"We shall." Logan blushed softly and took the hand in his. Kendall maneuvered through the crowd and reached the dance floor.
As the song started, Kendall snuck his arm around Logan's waist and pulled the brunette close.
Logan just smiled and took Kendall's free hand in his as they started to glide along the floor.
"These dance lessons paid off well." Kendall whispered into Logan ear as they continued to dance in the low light.
"Yeah. James has good ideas sometimes." Logan smiled and stared into Kendall's green eyes.
"I love you." Kendall whispered as they touched noses.
"I love you too." Logan smiled and looked lovingly into Kendall's bright green eyes.
"I can't wait to look at Jay like that…" Carlos sighed softly and watched from the sideline as his two best friends danced slowly together.
"James!" James looked up and saw a familiar face that he hadn't seen for 5 years.
"Jennifer!" He ran over and hugged the brunette Jennifer tightly. "How are you?" He asked.
"Well you see… I've been good." She smiled.
"How are you?" She asked. "Are you still…" She paused.
"With Carlos? Yeah. We get married next month." James smiled.
"Oh that's great. I didn't know that Kendall and Logan were even together." She stated and looked over to the two on the dance floor.
"Yeah they got together right after you left…. Speaking of which… why did you leave?" James asked.
Carlos wondered around the room, half looking for James and half looking for something to munch on. As he passed the food table his eyes landed on a young boy.
"Hey there little guy. You need some help?" Carlos knelt down next to the boy.
"Yes please." He nodded. "I just want that cookie." The young boy told him.
"This one?" Carlos grabbed one and handed it to him.
"Yes thank you ever so much!" He smiled and took a bite. "My name is Corbin." He told Carlos through a full mouth.
"Well hello Corbin. My name is Carlos. How old are you?"
"4 and a half." Corbin smiled and took another bite.
"I've never seen you before. Who's your mommy?" He asked.
"I'll show you her." He took Carlos by the hand and pulled him through the crowd.
"What do you mean a son?" James asked, mouth agape and Jennifer nodded slowly.
"You have a son James… that one time we were together… right before you started to date Carlos… that's why I left." Jennifer stated.
"No! This can't be true." James gasped.
"Mommy! I met a nice man!" Corbin ran over to the two, still dragging Carlos.
"Carlos! You met Corbin?" Jennifer asked.
"Yeah I got him a cookie… Corbin is your son!" Carlos gasped slightly.
"Yeah…" Jennifer nodded.
"Mommy who is this man?" Corbin asked and pointed to James.
"Corbin… I…" James paused. "Carlos can I talk to you?"
"Yeah sure hunni." Carlos smiled and followed James to the far wall.
"Carlos… I'm not sure how to tell you this…" James stopped and rubbed his neck.
"What is it James?" Carlos asked, taking James' hands in his.
"Wait! Corbin! Don't!" Jennifer ran yelling after the quick 4-year-old.
"You're my daddy?" Corbin asked James.
"You're his what?" Carlos gasped.
"James… I'm so sorry…" Jennifer grabbed Corbin and carried him away from James and Carlos.
"Carlos… I…"
"So you have a son… that's cool." Carlos smiled.
"No. Carlos that's not… I have a son… that I didn't even know about… meaning Jennifer had to raise him for almost 5 years by herself…" James paused.
"Well when we get our own place, he can visit." Carlos smiled.
"No! Carlos! You just don't get it!" James yelled, yanking his hands free, and startled Carlos.
"What don't I get?" Carlos asked.
"Carlos… I… I can't marry you anymore…" James stopped once he saw tears flow down Carlos cheeks. "Carlos… I'm sorry…" He reached out.
"YOU'RE SORRY?" Carlos lashed out, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look over at the two. "YOU ARE LEAVING ME FOR HER?" He screamed.
"What's going on?" Kendall and Logan hurried over.
"I gave you my life!" Carlos sobbed, pounding his fists against James' shoulders and chest.
"And I'm giving it back…" James grabbed Carlos' hands lightly, to stop the hitting.
Carlos just stood there sobbing.
"Carlos…" Logan paused as the Latino looked over to him. His eyes went wide when he realized that everyone was staring at James and himself.
So he ran.
"Carlos! Come back!" Kendall yelled.
Carlos ran into the Palm Woods lobby and up the two flights of stairs before finally slamming the front door open.
"How could he?" Carlos asked out to no one. "Why would he do that to me!" He sobbed and walked sadly to his room.
He wrapped himself up in the comforter and sheets on his and James' shared queen-sized bed.
Carlos rolled over and buried his face onto the pillow but all he smelled was James' cinnamon cuda man spray.
"JAY!" Carlos sobbed harder.
Down at the pool the party was just about to end.
"Thank you all for celebrating with us." Kendall said into the microphone. "We are very happy to see you. So drive safely and Logan and I love you all!" Kendall set the mic down and walked over to Logan and James.
"What the FUCK is wrong with you?" Logan slapped his shoulder.
"Logie… I've never heard you saw that word before!" Kendall gasped.
"Sorry… but James! What's wrong with you! You can't just end a 5 year relationship and a marriage proposal!"
"I have to… I can't expect Jennifer to take care of Corbin by herself!" James stated and turned to leave.
"I'm gonna go check on him." Logan told Kendall and ran up to the apartment. "Carlos? Carlos!" Logan opened the front door and hollered through the apartment.
"Logan?" Carlos spoke up.
Logan walked over and opened the door to Carlos and James' room.
"Oh buddy…" Logan sighed sadly when he saw Carlos, tear marks on his cheeks, all wrapped up in the blankets.
"Logan… why would he do that? I love him… I never asked for much…" Carlos whimpered. "How could he just leave me like that?" Carlos asked.
"I don't know Carlos… I wish I did." Logan sighed and hugged him close. They stayed like that for a while before there was a light knock at the door.
"Logan? Carlos?" Kendall opened the door and saw Logan sitting on the bed stroking Carlos' hair as he slept facing away from Logan and the door.
"Kendall." Logan sighed and shook his head. "He's just… he cried himself to sleep."
"Poor Carlos…" Kendall sighed.
"I'm awake…" Carlos sighed and rolled over to face the two.
"Oh I didn't mean to wake you…" Kendall paused as Carlos gasped.
"Oh no! You're honeymoon! I'm gonna make you late!" Carlos gasped and climbed out of his blankets. "You two need to go! I don't want to ruin your alone time along with ruining your wedding!"
"First off, you didn't ruin our wedding… second, none of this is your fault!" Logan told him.
"And third, our plane doesn't take off for another 2 hours, and I already packed our bags." Kendall stated.
"I love you guys…" Carlos sniffed.
"It'll get better." Logan smiled. "Want me to make you some dinner?"
"Sure." Carlos nodded.
"Okay. Kendall will you stay with him?" Logan stood.
"Yeah." Kendall nodded, placed a short kiss on Logan's temple and took Logan's seat on the bed.
"It really will get better?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah." Kendall nodded and smoothed the Latinos' dark hair.
"Kendall… I feel like my heart has broken into a million tiny pieces… I hate this feeling…" Carlos whimpered.
"I'm here… and Logan is too." Kendall leaned down and kissed Carlos' forehead softly. "We both love you."
"Thanks Kendall." Carlos smiled and rolled over, curling his body around Kendall's legs and fell into a deep sleep.
"Carlos… Kendall and I have to leave now…" Logan shook Carlos awake.
"You guys going on your honeymoon now?" He asked, sitting up.
"Yeah. We'll be back in two weeks… Eat everyday, and please try to feel better." Logan paused. "I'll call you."
"Love you Logie… you're like my best friend." Carlos smiled and hugged Logan tightly.
"Hey, Logan, we gotta go." Kendall walked in.
"Okay. Bye Carlos… see you in two weeks." Logan stood.
"Bye Kendall." Carlos waved as they walked out of the bedroom.
"Bye Carlitos." Kendall smiled.
"You think he'll be okay for the two weeks?" Logan asked as they walked out of the apartment.
"I know he will. It's Carlos." Kendall smiled.
"Hey Logan, what did you need?" Camille ran down the hall.
"Camille… James left Carlos…" Logan told her.
"But aren't they getting married in a month?" She asked.
"Yeah… well they were… James cut the wedding off, because Jennifer has a son, and the boy is James' son. He thinks he has to be there." Kendall sighed.
"So what did you need?"
"Can you come in every day and make sure Carlos eats. He's in his room wrapped up in his blankets, and completely depressed. Just while we are gone, make sure he eats at least once a day. Please." Logan asked.
"Of course! I'll help." She nodded.
"Thanks." Logan hugged her.
"Logie, we gotta go, we'll miss our plane." Kendall looked at his watch.
"Oh have fun on your honeymoon." Camille let go of Logan and smiled.
"Thanks again Camille!" Logan yelled as Kendall dragged him down the hall.
Give this lots of love, and the next chapter will be up soon! :D
