I love you all for reviewing! Everyone is trying to guess the pairing, and guess what happens. I'm not gonna tell anyone! You're gonna have to keep reading to find out. ;)
Anyways, on to chapter 3! (:
An hour into Paranormal Activity, and I was hiding my eyes every few seconds. Kendall and Carlos were snuggling on the beanbags, the food long forgotten. James was sitting right next to me, eyes never leaving the screen, at least from I saw behind my hands. Every couple of seconds, there would be a loud scream from the movie, and everyone would jump a little in their seats, then laugh and joke about it. Right as the scary music started up again, I jumped up from my seat on the couch.
"I'm gonna go make some more popcorn! Who wants popcorn? I'm gonna make popcorn." I said, practically sprinting from the living room. I got into the kitchen, and let out a sigh. Then I started scrounging up what was the rest of the popcorn kernels. Going as slow as I could, I poured the oil into the pan on the stove. Just as I was about to pour the kernels in, I heard the kitchen door close, making me jump.
"Heheh, a little jumpy, are we?" James voice sounded from across the room. I laughed nervously.
"You just surprised me, is all." I said. He chuckled.
"Do you like the movie so far?" He teased.
"I think it's very creepy and scary, to be honest." I sighed. "Why do you think I came to make popcorn?" He laughed.
"Yeah, that part was a bit obvious." He paused for a second, and you could hear a scream emitt from Carlos while Kendall laughed in the background. We both looked at each other, and a grin spread across his face. I could feel myself blushing. To distract myself, I grabbed my soda, and started drinking.
"So, Logan." He said, as I drank. "You got any crushes on anyone?"
I choked on my drink, making soda come out my nose. I cleaned it up as much as I could, then turned to him. He had a little smirk on his face.
"Well?" He asked again. I started sweating.
"Uh, no. I guess not." I avoided his eyes.
"What? No cute girls you chasing?" He raised an eyebrow as he finished. I snorted, then blushed.
"Okay, one, none of the girls around here are interested in ME, and two, I'm not interested in any of them." I said. That wasn't a lie at all, but I didn't have to tell him anything. He looked disappointed, though.
"What?" I asked. He looked up at me.
"Oh, haha, nothing. I guess I just thought you were...well, gay." he said, chuckling. "I didn't think you were into girls."
I raised my eyebrows at this.
"I guess I thought wrong." He said. He smiled over at me. I looked down, and picked my next words carefully.
"No...you...didn't think wrong." I said, my feet suddenly becoming very interesting.
"Wait. You are gay?" I could feel his gaze on me. My eyes started burning. I will not cry in front of him. I will not cry in front of him. I forced the tears back before I picked my head up.
"Why do you think everyone at school hates me?" I said, looking at the bowl of popcorn.
"We don't hate you. Kendall and Carlos are gay. It's totally fine, man. I swear." I looked back at him. "Am I the first person you've told?"
I nodded my head. A big smile grew on his face.
"Then congratulations, Logan Mitchell. For taking a step out of the closet."
I chuckled, my chest still heaving. He frowned for a half a second, in deep thought.
"What?" I asked, kinda scared. He looked back up at me, and his smile returned.
"Nothing. Go wash up, I'm assuming the movie is about done and everyone's dead." He laughed, grabbed the popcorn, and walked into the living room. I got up out of my chair, and walked into the bathroom. I was still shaky from coming out to him, so I splashed some water on my face, and fixed my hair before I went back into the living room. When I got in, James was putting the Grudge 2 into the DVD player, and Kendall and Carlos were kissing on the beanbags. I chuckled.
"Awwwww!" I exclaimed at them. Kendall smiled into the kiss, and pulled away.
"Shut up, you only wish you had this." He laughed, and sat back, next to Carlos. James froze, and I paled. A second passed, then;
"James! You TOLD them?" I yelled. Carlos looked up at me, one eyebrow raised. James spun around.
"I swear I didn't tell them! I swear, Logan!" He glanced at Kendall, who had been sitting against Carlos, but sat up in realization.
"Logan, you're gay,too?" He said, looking up at me. What?
"Wait,wait,wait. You didn't know?" I asked. Things just got very confusing.
"I guess not!" he said, throwing his hands up.
"Then why'd you say 'you only wish you had'-oh. You were just..teasing. You didn't actually mean...ok." I sighed. "One big misunderstanding. Well, I AM gay. I guess I just tripped out of the closet."
I laughed nervously. Kendall rolled his eyes. He took a deep breath, and Carlos turned to him.
"Preach." the shorter boy said.
"Logan, I am happy for you. I'm happy you told us. Obviously we're not gonna hate you, Carlos and I are gay, and James is..." He paused for a second. "Supportive of us."
James gave a 'whew', then looked over at them.
"Wow, thanks guys." he said sarcastically. Carlos laughed.
"He is. Promise." He said, looking at me.
"Good." I said. "Now that THAT'S over-and I can't believe I'm saying this- let's get back to the movie."
"Agreed." Carlos said, and hit the play button on the remote. Him and Kendall snuggled back together, and I plopped down on the couch next to James. He was sitting a bit farther away then he was last time. Was he scared I was gonna make a move?
I sighed and turned my attention to the movie, not even the least bit interested.
Halfway through the movie, my eyelids started getting heavy, so I tilted my head a little, and closed my eyes. I was pretty sure Carlos was already asleep on Kendall. Kendall was still awake, as was James. I wouldn't even count myself awake. I was half-unconscious. I guess coming out of the closet tired me out.
When I woke up, I was, despite the lack of a blanket and pillow, comfortable and warm. I opened my eyes, and looked around. I could see Carlos and Kendall asleep across the beanbags in front of the couch, but I couldn't see James. Then it hit me. I was sleeping on James. He was sitting upright (for the most part), and I had my head in the crook of his neck, leaning up on him. My hand was resting on his chest, and his head was lying on my head. I gasped, and ripped my hand off his chest, and sat upright, which made his head drop, waking him up. He snorted and sputtered a little before looking up at me.
"Huh? Oh, hey Logan. How'd you sleep?" he grinned. Did he know I had slept on him?
"Uh, good. I guess." I said, rubbing my head.
"Do you want some breakfast? I can make some pancakes." he suggested. I shook my head.
"No thanks, I should get home, my mom will be wondering." I said.
"Oh, then I should get my keys!" He exclaimed, running into the kitchen. He came out seconds later. "Let's go!"
A couple minutes later, we pulled into my driveway. I pulled my bags from the back of the SUV, and thanked James for everything. He pulled out of my driveway, waving out the window. I smiled as I climbed the front steps, and waved back. Seconds later, the car disappeared around the corner.
I got inside, went into my room, threw my bags down, and fell onto my bed. I honestly had a great time at the guys' house, I was just freaking out over sleeping on James. I really liked him, but he was obviously straight. I don't wanna get hurt.
Poor Logan. :(
Review!
