"Hey bud, did you sleep well?" Kendall called out at Logan from the kitchen as Logan practically fell on the couch.
"No." Logan was lying on his stomach on the couch, trying hard not to fall asleep.
Kendall stopped what he was doing in the kitchen, and sat beside Logan's head. "Another nightmare?"
"Yup." Logan slowly got up and sat properly beside Kendall. "This is just getting weirder and weirder."
This thought interested Kendall. "How so?"
Logan looked around the room, making sure no one was there. James was probably still in the bathroom, fixing his cut, and Carlos was sleeping. Mrs. Knight and Katie went grocery shopping this morning and wouldn't be back for another half hour or so.
He paused before saying anything. When he noticed it was only Kendall and him sitting in the colorful living room, he continued.
"Did you see James cut his hand this morning?"
Kendall raised an eyebrow. "No, I didn't see anything. He was in the kitchen with me, preparing breakfast. I could hear you screaming from your nightmare, so I told him to go wake you up."
Kendall paused for a moment.
"Although… I do remember him trying to hide his hand from me at some points. Why are you asking this?"
"Well, in my dream, James cut his hand as he tried to…" Logan choked a little on air. "… kill me. And when I woke up in front of him, the exact same hand was cut."
They both stared at each other in silence.
"Wow, that IS weird. Maybe-" Kendall was interrupted by James.
"Good morning guys." James shinned his perfectly whitened teeth to both boys as he walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch in front of Logan and Kendall.
The first thing Logan noticed was his bandaged hand. James caught Logan staring and hid his hands in his jean pockets.
"What happened to your hand?" Kendall asked.
This question seemed to catch James off guard. "Oh… This?" He pulled his hand out of his tight pocket and revealed a white bandage covered in blood surrounding his entire hand. "I accidentally cut myself with a knife as I was trying to cut bread this morning." James coughed and tensed up.
An awkward silence filled the room before the 3 boys jumped at the sound of a loud beep.
"Oh! I forgot I was cooking. Shit!" Kendall quickly got up from the couch and ran to the oven. As he opened it, smoke covers his face. His hands act as fans as he pushes the smoke away from his face. He yells out "Shit," as he notices the pizza he was trying to cook had been burnt.
Logan turns his attention back on James, who was looking down at his hand and patting it with his other hand. His smile seemed almost… evil.
A small cough escaped from Logan's mouth, causing James to stop what he was doing and look up at Logan's tiny face. Logan showed fear and confusion.
"Did you really cut yourself with a knife? Kendall didn't see anything." Logan's voice came out as a whisper.
James got up from the couch and walked close to Logan's side. He bend down and whispered in Logan's ear, "Some things are better left unsaid." before leaving the room.
