So there he is. On the party, where they celebrate that Kendall got a girlfriend. Correction: On a party where they celebrate that Kendall got his girlfriend of his dreams. Great. It's not that Logan isn't happy for Kendall and Jo. Well, correction again: Not that Logan doesn't want to be happy for Kendall and Jo. He just can't. He's sitting on the couch where Kendall and he always watched movies, talked or played something. Now Logan looks at the spot where his best friend is supposed to sit and looks over where he is sitting now. Of course he's with Jo. Something inside Logan hurts. It hurts more than the time when Carlos hit him with his bicycle or when Carlos ran him over and he fell out of the window from second floor or when Carlos hit his jewels with his hockey stick. Now that he thinks about his painful experiences, he realizes, that ALL of them have something to do with Carlos. While swallows a little more beer he decides, that he should keep a distance of at least 5 meter (about 16'4") of him.
"Brain!", James shouts. "Why are you just sitting there? Let's have some fun! Come on, we got to talk to these hot chicks!", he says and points at two girls, who Logan saw in a commercial for yellow cupcakes once. Carlos loves this clip.
"Naah, I'm fine. I don't really feel like flirting tonight.", Logan refuses politely, but firmly.
"Okay, then let's just party without girls!" James smiles and sits down next to Logan, where Kendall used to sit. He offers him a bottle of beer, which Logan accepts. Then, they're silent. The silence doesn't feel akward, but it doesn't feel good either.
"I wonder, what is wrong with her." James breaks the silence.
"Excuse me?"
"I mean Jo. I'm just curious why she chose Kendall over me. I mean, look at me! I'm so much more handsome than that guy." Logan wants to protest, but James keeps talking. "Every girl should choose me when she has the choice between me and every other guy! It's not that I like Jo, but I'm seriously worried! She should go check her mind at the doctor's. Really, something's definetly wrong with this chick!" Logan chuckles. He's always amused by Jame's exaggerated vanity. Sure he was pretty, but he really overreacts way too much. James smiles when he sees Logan laughing. He knows that Logan finds it funny that he's always stating how handsome he is. Altough James doesn't understand what's so funny about the truth.
"James", Logan says still chuckling a bit. "Beauty lies in the observer's eyes! You will never understand, right?"
James frowns and crosses his arms. "Are you trying to say that you don't find me handsome?"
Logan blushes. "I do find you handsome", he whispers.
He really thinks that James is pretty. His looks were the reason why he thought he was in love with him for a year when they were 14. This wouldn't be too surprising since James is famous for being the 'turn-over-guy' who turns every straight guy into a 'little-bit-not-so-straight-guy'.
James smiles satisfied and goes back to being silent like Logan. The brunette boy once again looks over to Kendall and Jo. They are sitting on the other side of the room but Logan follows every move they make. Holding hands. Exchaging flirty glances. Hugging. Kissing. Logan doesn't know what it is, but the pain in his chest is awful. He has to squirm a little and the pain is making his eyes tear up a bit. He feels James is looking at him and tries to restrain.
"Are you alright with this?", James asks bluntly as he's looking at his friend with a little angry expression.
"James, you should really break the habit of starting a conversation where the other part doesn't have an idea what you are talking about!", Logan says as he is trying to put a fake smile on his face. He tries to sound as normal as possible but his voice happens to be higher than usual.
"I'm talking about the whole Kendall got a girlfriend thing!"
"What?"
"You know what I am talking about.", James sighs. "Or maybe I just thought you should know because you are the brain here." Logan looks confused and doesn't know what to say. He has no idea what James is talking about.
"I'm saying, that you can't stand the thought that Kendall Knight has a girlfriend. I'm saying that you are in love with him!" The smaller boy looks doubting at him. As he is raising an eyebrow he asks him: "Are you kidding? That's not funny. Not even Carlos would laugh at this. And seriously, he even laughs about a boy in the internet who makes his voice super high-pitched."
"I'm not kidding, Logan. I can see how hurt you looked when he told us that Jo and him are dating. You got really pale and I really thaught that you would vomit every second. And now again! You are squirming and almost crying! You are the genius here, aren't you? Can't you count one and one together? It's so obvious that you are in love with him."
Logan is shocked. He? In love with Kendall? No way. He is straight! "I... I have to go now. I'm really tired... today was a... long day... " Still really shocked he runs to his bedroom which he shares with his friend Kendall. Not even changing his clothes he jumps in his bed, eyes wide opened. What if James is right? What if he is really in love with his best friend? What if he is going to destroy their friendship?
