Chapter 1 - Welcome to Blue Skies
Logan Mitchell was paying attention to the streets, he kept staring at the window as he father was talking and driving by his side.
"… and you better not do drugs, I won't be able to deal with a son in rehab." Logan then chuckled, he would miss his father so much but he had to go through with it. It was his life. "And use condom, you can't get other guys pregnant but, you know, lots of diseases everywhere"
"Oh my God dad please stop, I'm going to study music not going to prison." Logan checked his cellphone to make sure they were getting close before any awkward conversation.
"Well, I'm concerned, you've never been more than 20 minutes away."
"Come on, I'm 18 and a Mitchell we work things out right? And we're here." Logan kept staring at the building, all the history, all the dreams. This was the best moment of his life and he did the only thing he could, smile like a kid at Disneyland.
"So you want help with your bags or should I go now?" Logan turned his head around and saw his father with some tears trying to escape.
"It's OK dad, think I'm on my own now." He gave his old man a hug showing how thankful he was. "Mom would be proud at us, me for getting in and you for being the best father ever."
"For God sakes Logan don't make me cry I'm driving home." Logan laughed and got off the car, bending to speak through the windows one last time.
"Love you dad."
"Love you son, now get your things in the back and go be famous." Logan smiled and took two bags from the back. He figured he wouldn't need much there. The car didn't move so he went inside the building, or else, his father and him would stay all day saying goodbyes. There were lots of people inside the building, some with bags and some just talking. He didn't need the paper to know the number of his room, he kept looking at it for months he just needed to find it. He kept looking around for someone to help him when he heard a voice behind him.
"Hey you need help?" Logan turned around and found a shorter boy with tan skin and a big smile.
"Yeah, you know where is the 2J?" The other boy looked even happier.
"Cool you're my new neighbor, I'm Carlos Garcia and I live in 2K. Come with me Mr…"
"I'm Logan Mitchell, nice to meet you." Carlos started to walk gesturing for him to follow.
"So, you're a newbie. It's my second year and this place is the best. If you really love arts you're going to love it, if you're just trying to be famous you'll probably won't stay here long. And where you're from?"
"Houston."
"Heard everything is bigger there, true or false?" Logan blushed and Carlos noticed laughing. "Relax I'm just kidding."
"Carlos" A voice said behind the boys.
"Oh god" the short boy said recognizing it.
"I'm sorry, please talk to me." Logan turned around and saw the prettiest boy he ever met.
"James we have nothing to talk about, besides, I'm busy." He showed Logan with his hands. James then raised an eyebrow and introduced himself.
"James Diamond, his boyfriend."
"Ex" Carlos corrected quickly.
"Baby that was a mistake."
"Using different socks is a mistake, fuck someone who is not your boyfriend is cheating. Come on Logan let's have some fun in your room." He took the quiet boy by his hand and walked to the stairs helping him with his bags. "By fun I mean unpack, sorry to use you."
"It's OK, guys can be annoying sometimes" Logan just shrugged, he didn't have any experience in the love area but Carlos didn't need to know that.
"So you're into guys?" Carlos asked when they arrived the second floor.
"Yeah." Logan felt weird saying this to an unknown, back in his hometown being gay is a big deal, but when you're studying arts in LA, guess things are different. They walked past some rooms and finally arrived, a door with the 2J, he opened the room and saw two beds, it was simple but warm.
"So it's official, welcome to Blue Skies." Carlos helped him get inside and put his things by the bed near the window. "Oh wait." Carlos took his phone and typed a message to someone and in 15 seconds there was a knock on the door. "For God sakes come inside already."
The door opened and a blond guy walked in, with green eyes and a smile that melted Logan's heart right away. "Hey I'm Kendall Knight nice to meet you." Logan just stared at him amazed by everything at him.
"This is Logan. Guess he forgot how to speak." Logan was brought back by what Carlos said and blushed slightly.
"Sorry, Logan Mitchell. I'm just absorbing this place."
"So, you're here for what? Acting, music, dance?" Kendall asked and Logan felt attracted by his voice and the way he was breathing, he felt like a thirteen year old girl.
"I'm a musician, music is everything in my life."
"I like him Los, best neighbor ever."
"OK, let's talk about something good, ran into James few seconds ago, and I think he was jealous of Logie bear here" Carlos sat on the empty bed and Kendall walked over to slap the back of his head.
"Don't bring him into you crazy relationship. Sorry Logan."
"It's OK, I don't mind."
The door was opened again and a girl with dark hair and a red streak stood there with a confused face. "Sorry, guess this is the boys dorm."
"Oh sweetie, here we have mixed dorms, 90% of the guys are gays so that doesn't really matter anyway. I'm Carlos by the way." The girl walked inside with her bags and counted three guys and two beds.
"Lucy Stone, are we all roommates?"
"Just me. Logan Mitchell."
"God you look like a helpless animal in the forest. No offense." Logan actually didn't mind it, he liked her.
"I'm Kendall Knight, Carlos and I live in 2K, so we're neighbors and this is your bed." Kendall took Carlos by his ear and got him off the bed getting some laughs from the other two until there was a knock on the door.
"Jesus, Carlos I heard you screaming from the outside." A guy with dark hair and green eyes said as he opened the door. Logan felt awkward to have this many people in his room. He never had many friends and right now there was five persons in his room who weren't his family.
"Hey Dak, this is Logan and Lucy." Kendall said introducing them.
"Is your roommate outside?" Carlos asked with an annoying tone.
"I'm right here." James walked inside and Carlos sat next to Logan, resting his head on his shoulder. Logan found it weird but he really needed a friend like Carlos to make him laugh.
"Anyway, we're going to the mall, you guys wanna come?" Dak said still at the door.
"Yeah that'll be fun. Logan and Lucy wanna come? You can unpack later."
"Sure, I'm hungry." The girl said as she opened one of the bags.
"I don't know…" Logan started but Kendall interrupted.
"Come on, if you come I'll buy you a pizza."
"Why you never buy me pizza?" Carlos asked pretending to be hurt.
"I'll buy you pizza Litos." James said trying to woo him.
"No thanks, Logie please come with us." Carlos then placed his lips next to Logan's ears and whispered. "Help me get my ex jealous and I'll own you big time. Please." Logan didn't want this type of drama but he wanted to spend some time with Kendall.
"OK OK, let's go."
"Meet us in front of the building in ten minutes, I need to change." Dak said with James following him. Carlos and Kendall went to their room leaving Lucy and Logan alone.
"Hey, uh, you liked them?" Lucy asked sitting on her bed.
"I don't know, they seem crazy." Logan said getting a smile from Lucy.
"And they also seem like the best people around right?" Logan just nodded smiling. "So, since we're roomies we should make a pact. We stay by each other's side, we help each other no matter what."
"I like this pact, think we'll be great friends Lucy."
"I know right? And usually I just hate people. By the way, I need to change, you mind waiting outside?" "Sure." Logan got out of the room while the girl thanked him.
He closed the door behind him and leaned on it, thinking of the day so far. He made some friends, he got into a place where he could study arts, he started to wonder if his mom was watching him from heaven. He started to remember all the precious memory she had of her, and he felt some tears coming down his face, so he closed his eyes for a few seconds and when he opened Kendall was watching him carefully. They didn't say anything and the blond took a step and hugged Logan. The best thing he ever felt, the best sensation, the best arms around him.
"It's OK." Kendall kissed the top of Logan's head and cleaned his tears with his thumb. "Pretty boys don't cry, they smile." Kendall called him pretty and that make him smile. "See, you have a beautiful smile Logan."
"Thank you." Logan was feeling better, Kendall made him feel something he never felt before. Something about him was magnetic, it got his instant attention.
"OK, I'm ready roomie. Oh." Lucy opened the door and saw Logan's back and Kendall holding his face. "Sorry to interrupt but I'm hungry, make this your first date or whatever." And she started to walk to the stairs with two blushing boys on her tail.
"So, you guys get the tickets to the movie and I'll get some popcorn, Logan help me?" Kendall said and the pale boy felt his heart skip a beat.
"Sure , let's go." And they went to the line. Logan felt so awkward around Kendall, so weird to feel like that when he only met him a few hours.
"I wanted to get you alone to ask you, are you okay? I mean, I don't want to invade your space but, hm, you were crying earlier and got me worried." Logan stared at him wondering if he should tell him the truth of if he should keep it to himself, he didn't have the best social skills so he really didn't know if it was OK to open up so quick.
"Yeah, is just that…" He tried to think of something but, with a sigh, decide to go with the truth. "Don't think I'm a sad person for bringing this up with , like, 3 hours knowing you. My mom died a few years ago, earlier I was just thinking what would she say if she was here, knowing I'm achieving my dreams. Maybe she wanted me to be a doctor not a musician, maybe she would back me up and tell me to follow my dreams, I'll never know and it's weird you know?" Kendall gave a half smile sympathetic.
"She would be proud. You seem like a nice guy with a big heart. I lost my dad recently and I kinda know what you're talking about so if you wanna talk, I'm all ears."
"Thanks. And thanks for not being weird earlier."
"No problem, but you should know that next time I find you crying in the hallway, I'm taking a picture and turning you into a meme." Logan laughed and Kendall took a second to appreciate that sound, he loved right away. "So Texas boy, what kind of music you're into?" And that made Logan's eyes spark, his best subject was music.
"I'm really into some old school rock, 70's and 80's was so good. But I'm also into pop and some country. Oh and hip hop. I can't choose, I don't know. Guess I love them all."
"Favorite song?"
"Right now is probably Colors by Halsey."
"God I love this song."
"And my all time favorite is Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, my parents used to listen to it all the time."
"I like your music taste."
"And I like you." Logan said without thinking and Kendall smiled. "I'm sorry I'm social awkward I didn't mean it like that."
"I like you too Logan, maybe more than I should." Kendall said that with a serious face and Logan caught that but he decided to drop it and not talk about it. Luckily for him, it was their turn to order so he did it as Kendall went silent and they walked back to the group without a word being said.
"So, we're watching a romantic comedy that the girls choose." Lucy said not excited to Logan.
"You know I do like girls right?" Dak asked with a fake offended face.
"Yeah, but you're also on the dick train so shoosh. Roomie sit next to me and save me from hearing them cry." Lucy said going next to Logan.
"I'll take the other side." Carlos said running to his other side and kissing his cheek, which made Logan blush, Kendall look a bit annoyed and James jealous.
"I thought you would sit with me." He said with a sad face.
"James, I'm okay with us in the same social circle because we were all friends before you cheated on me, but don't think for a second I forgave you and I'm comfortable with you." The short boy walked to the bathroom and James tried to follow him but Dak held him by his arm.
"Give him some time James."
"Yeah, I mean you cheated on him, you really hurt him." Kendall finally broke the silence and James snapped at him.
"Just because you have the perfect relationship doesn't mean you can judge OK? Lots of things were going on back then." And Logan felt his heart sink with those words and couldn't hold the words in his mouth.
"Wait, perfect relationship? You have a boyfriend?" Logan asked trying to not believe it.
"Yes, the most annoying couple ever, even Barbie and Ken would call them perfect." James completed and Kendall punched his arm. "Sorry not sorry Ken. But I do love you." He said with a fake smile trying to apologize.
"Whatever" Kendall said rolling his eyes and then looking at the floor not looking at Logan who tried to keep his best face on, but Lucy seemed to understand taking his hand and slightly squeezing it offering a smile.
"Ok , I peed and I'm ready for some cute movie let's go." Carlos said with the other following him.
A.N: Hey everybody, so I'm back by no popular demand. Been a while since I wrote a story so why not making a comeback where I first let people read any of them right? Ok, so now we have Logan being the new guy (again). This time I'm not pairing him with James and yes, it's another fic with lots of music, just because. Hope you all like it, we'll have lots of drama, comedy and MAYBE a bit of a mystery (I'm not sure if I'll put this part in the story but I did planned something). Leave a review and follow this for new chapters and make sure to read my last story "It's a Family Thing".
much love (heart emoji)
