Hey guys. I have to ask, do I have any glee fans? If so, have you heard blaine sing 'somewhere only we know'? It's amazing! Right, onto the story, then.

James looked at Carlos for a few moments in strained silence. Carlos was grasping for the right thing to say, but he couldn't think of anything. I won't let him take you away from me, he thought. He meant to say it out loud, but his voice wouldn t cooperate. Carlos swallowed hard and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and his eyes opened again, now set in silent determination. He tried to make his voice sound strong. "I won't let him take you away from me." Carlos liked the sound of his voice. It was powerful and was a heck of a lot better than he felt.

He felt like the earth had been taken form beneath his feet, and in a way, it was. James was his comfort, His lighthouse in the dense fog and the only thing that could make him smile when he was feeling down. He wasn't about to give all that up so easily. James was surprised by Carlos. "What are we going to do? He'll be here tomorrow."

Carlos had hit a brick wall. That was it. He just didn't know how. But, he knew who would. He stood up. "Come on. I have an idea."

"What?" Logan exclaimed. They were at the park, in a tree. Logan had decided this was the best place to talk, plus, he liked to climb trees.

Carlos nodded gravely. "We don't have much time, so we came to you for a plan."

Logan tilted his head in both directions. "Yeah, I can see why you did that."

James rolled his eyes. "So, do you have a plan? Anything at all?"

Logan nodded contentedly. "You need to disappear."

James gave him a 'no duh' look. "And how do you suppose I do that?"

"Easy. We need to hide you. First, we need to talk to your mother and Mama Knight."

They all exchanged glances and nodded. They climbed down from the tree and ran back to the Palmwoods. The reporters were gone, Carlos noticed. "Good riddance." he muttered. They walked calmly all the way up to the apartment and stepped inside.

To their relief, Kendall was sitting on the couch, while Mama Knight walked into the room carrying a basket of laundry. She turned her head and smiled at them. "Hey, boys. What's wrong? You seem tense." In fact, they were. Logan told her what had happened with James father. She stood there for a few seconds, stunned. "So, you have a plan?"

Logan nodded. "But, we're gonna need help from James mom."

"Of course." She walked over the the laptop sitting on the kitchen counter and clicked a few of the keys. She waited a couple of seconds, then smiled. "Hi, Brooke. Your son wants to talk to you."

"Okay. James?" They heard from the laptop. He took a deep breath and walked over to the counter.

"Hey, mom." He said.

"Hey. If you were wondering how I would handle the news report, you don't have to worry." She replied with a reassuring smile.

"Well, sorta. It's about... about dad."

"What did he do?" James told her about the phone call. She rolled her eyes angrily. "I wish he would stop trying to change everything. You're not something to be fixed, you're already perfect. What do I need to do?"

He nodded. "He said he'd be flying in tommorrow and I kind of need a place to hide until they can talk some sense into him."

She nodded. "Not a problem. Is Carlos coming with you? It'd be a good idea. Just so your father won't... do anything rash."

James smiled. He hadn't even thought about taking Carlos with him, but it sounded amazing. He'd certainly be very lonely without him. He looked at Carlos. "So?"

Carlos smiled and threw his arms around James neck. "Duh. Of course I will." he replied playfully.

James mother smiled. "So, I'll get you boys an apartment somewhere close, but not too close, okay?"

They nodded and James said goodbye to her. James craned his neck so he was mere centimeters from Carlos face. "Wanna go get packed?"

Carlos nodded and kissed him on the cheek, then ran away with a miscevious grin. James rolled his eyes and ran after him.

Yay! So, James and Carlos are going to stay in an apartment while James' dad cools off, but how long will that be? And will he ever accept James as he is? Read and find out ;) Next chapter: The appartment
