A/N: So, really. I said this twice last chapter. But I love you guys. And I don't think I've said that to anyone that isn't family. And thank you guys, for reading this. :)
So, uh, I'm sorry that James and Logan haven't met up yet in the story. But I think you'll be kind of happy with the ending of this chapter. Or. Maybe not. I don't know. Just read…and don't hate me, please? And there are a couple cuss words in this chapter…I don't think it really makes a difference, since the stories already rated M, but I wanted to warn you before you get to any of them and it shocks you…or offends you.
Anyways, here ya go!
Chapter Three.
Later on that night, when Jett offered to give Jasmine a bath, claiming that Logan did too much, Logan decided to call his mother. There were a few things that Logan wanted to ask her about, and he didn't want Jasmine or Jett around to hear about it.
At first, Logan was a little upset that his mother had given Kendall his phone number; but after sitting down and talking to him about everything, he realized that it was the smarter thing to do. Besides, it's been way too long since they've spoken last and he was actually looking forward to Carlos and Kendall meeting Jasmine.
Now, he couldn't say the same for James; even thought he wished he could. James was always unexpected, and Logan didn't want to get his hopes up for nothing. Sure, Kendall had a point about James loving him back then. But that was back then, if anything the time and distance had to have changed something in his heart. Plus, why didn't James walk up to him yesterday, if he loved him?
Okay, so maybe, Jett and Jasmine was there. And maybe, James was a little freaked out. But that proves a point; James freaked out about Logan being with Jett and having his daughter. There was no way James was going to take him back way before Jett and Logan even got together.
And, why was Logan thinking about getting back together with James? He was engaged! He was going to marry Jett, so that way the two of them could raise Jasmine and nothing would be complicated.
Why the hell did James have to ruin everything? Well, okay; necessarily James didn't ruin anything. It's just Logan was thinking too much into everything – like always – and Logan was the one that was making things complicated.
So with that, Logan dialed his mother phone number, and lifted his phone to his ear. He waited for two rings, before his mother picked up.
"Hey, mom." Logan said, he could tell that his voice wavered for about a second and cursed himself for thinking about James and Jett and Jasmine before calling his mother.
"Sweetie, how are you?" Her voice made her sound a little old, which was most likely because she was tired, and Logan began to feel a little bad for being mad at her. But that lasted only a second, before his mother asked about Kendall. "Did he call?"
"Yes, mother, he did." Logan stopped for a second, wondering why he was being so cold. "I'm sorry about that. It's just – why did you give him my number?"
"Why?" For a second, Logan didn't think she'd answer. "Because it's been almost five years, Logan. I think it's been enough time for you to be avoiding your best friends."
"I wasn't avoiding them! I was busy; if you haven't remembered, I have a child to take care of!"
"I remember, Logan. And I'm sorry." Joanna let out a sigh, before continuing. "I didn't want to give it to him, but they deserved to know the truth. And in the background, I could hear James crying, Logan. I wasn't gonna – he deserves to know."
And that's what Logan was afraid of. James didn't even know the truth, and he was already crying. Logan didn't want this to happen; it wasn't supposed to happen. This was why he didn't go back, but it was too late to go back, now.
"I don't think he was crying because you have a daughter now, Logan. I think it was because he didn't find out from you. Instead, he found out by seeing you on the street."
"I-I know, it's just… This was why I didn't want to bring them into this. I didn't want to hurt him."
"I know you didn't. But what do you think would happen? He just forget about the person that he loved and didn't even get to say goodbye to? I know you're smarter than that, Logan." Joanna sighed, once again, before continuing. "Logan, listen. I think the best thing that you can do for him now, is tell him the truth. And even if he does hate you for your having a child, which he won't, you have Jett. So, don't worry about how he's gonna react."
"I just – don't wanna see him again and end up wanting him back, because – like you said – I have Jett. We're getting married, and I don't want to screw things up with him."

James was kind of surprised to hear that Kendall and Carlos went out to meet up with Logan. Sure, it upset him that they went without asking him; but at least he knew the truth behind Jett and Logan and the little girl. Or. He would know the truth, if they would just tell him. But they said that it was something that Logan should tell him, and not them. And that kind of just irritated him.
So, he had gone into his bedroom and locked the door, wanting to be alone so he could sulk about his life.
He didn't understand why they wouldn't just tell him. It wasn't like Logan and he were planning on meeting up any time in the near future. Besides, Logan was being mean. Logan refused to tell him about this daughter of his and the fact that he and Jett had gotten together. He just hoped that he wasn't right about Logan and Jett. He could live with Logan having a daughter. He could live with Logan being gone for so long, even after he turned eighteen. But he could not live with Logan choosing Jett of him. That was like a stab in the back and James couldn't handle that.
Sulking didn't last long, considering that Kendall managed to acquire the knowledge of a locksmith. Five minutes into being locked up in his room, and Kendall was pushing the door opened as if it was never locked in the first place. And Kendall seriously needed to teach James how to do that because that's fucking awesome.
"James, come on. It's not our fault." Carlos said, walking in behind Kendall.
"You guys didn't have to go meet up with him." James said, standing up from his bed and walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"The kitchen. I'm hungry." James said, stepping out of his room and making his way towards the stairs."
XxX
The next morning when James woke up, he decided that it would be a good idea to go on a jog this morning. He hadn't gone for a jog in about three years; he stopped right after he ended thing with Sean. And as he was getting ready for his jog, James found himself smiling; instantly, he realized that he should have done this the day before, instead of breaking down in front of Carlos and Kendall.
As he made his way down the stairs, he noticed that Kendall and Carlos were cuddling on the couch, watching the news. It was a normal sight; usually, though, they were sharing the recliner with Carlos sitting on Kendall's lap. Normally, the sight kind of irritated him, but today James felt a little different and he actually smiled at the sight of his two best friends.
Without having to turn and face James, Kendall spoke. "There's a couple pancakes in the microwave waiting for you."
James' smile grew wider at the fact that his two best friends thought of him when they made breakfast. They usually did, but James never noticed the gesture.
"Thanks"
As soon as James grabbed the pancakes and added a tiny amount of syrup, he walked into the living room and sat down on the recliner. The television was on a commercial, and Kendall and Carlos were really quiet. When James looked up to see what they were doing, he spotted them staring at him.
"What?"
"You're going jogging?" Carlos asked, a smile spreading across his face.
"Uh, yeah. Why?"
"No reason." Kendall said, cutting Carlos off. "Just – have fun."
Once James was done with his pancakes, he got up off the recliner to take his plate into the kitchen and rinse it off. Afterwards, he ran upstairs to put his shoes on and quickly ran back down stairs to jog out the front door.
Even though James has been in California for a couple years, he never had the time to actually go around the city and find any cool places to go jogging; which was why he had chosen the park, because he knew where that was and it didn't take very long to get there.
And on his way to the park, he began to think about Kendall and Carlos for some reason. It was amazing how long they've lasted and everything that they've gone through. Now, sure James believed in their relationship. And sure, they were very adorable in their own sickeningly disgusting way. But sometimes, James hated their relationship. And that was mostly because they got to stay together, while he and Logan ended up torn apart. But that wasn't the worst part about it.
Logan was with Jett. Of all people, it just had to be Jett. And that was honestly the worst thing in the world; and not just because of the jealousy that James felt. It was because Jett was friends with Brian and Brian was a fucking prick. And then there was the child part of the situation. James didn't even know what that was about; whether they adopted or Logan got someone pregnant or what. And James was honestly scared to find out, because if there was some way to get Logan back, then they'd be bond to Jett; that is, if they adopted.
But that wasn't even the worst part about everything. Logan looked fucking happy with Jett and the little girl yesterday. Granted, they were in public and it was only a second before James took off upset, but in that second Logan looked happy. Almost as happy as he was with James; and James wasn't even needing to be self-centered for that.
Kendall and Carlos had gone through having to tell their parents about being together. It was kind of bittersweet; because while they were okay with the idea, it still took almost a year for them to be okay with seeing them together. And James knew that it was really tough on Kendall and Carlos. Even though James knew what it was like to not be accepted for who you are, their situations were a little different.
And James hates to admit it, but he was a little jealous and upset about Kendall's and Carlos' parents accepting them for who they really were. But no matter how jealous and upset he was, James didn't let that change their friendship; and not only because they were the only two people that he really had left.
Once James became eighteen, Josh and Brooke had basically kicked him out of the side of the street. He was cut off on any and all money that he was given before, and Brooke basically told him that she chose Josh over him, no matter what Josh has done. Well, she said that before James told her what he had done; which of course Josh denied. But James was fairly sure that she believed her son, because about a week later news got out that she was single. And James was happy that his mother took his advice; even if she still didn't want anything to do with him.
As James reached the park, he noticed a certain someone and a little girl playing on the swings; and James wasn't sure what he should do, other than stop and watch them interact. And that was mostly due to the fact that James wasn't sure what else to do.
XxX
"Daddy!" Jasmine giggled, looking back at Logan who had stopped pushing her in order to hear her complain. "Not nice!"
"Alright, Jazzy; alright." Logan chuckled, giving her a giant push to get her to stop complaining.
Logan continued to push Jasmine, with her giggling every time she got pushed, until Logan's eyes landed on a familiar looking male. And really, Logan didn't expect to see James so soon. Well, he also didn't expect to talk to Kendall and Carlos as soon as he did. But that didn't stop them from showing up in his life.
He froze, staring at him, while he stared right back. That was, until Jasmine started yelling for him to pay attention.
"Daddy!" He couldn't help but chuckle at the tone in her voice; even though he didn't even want to make any noise, hoping James wasn't actually paying attention to him. "I wanna go play!"
"Alright." Logan grabbed the chains, stopping the swing, and picked her up out of the swing. "There" He set her down on the ground, watching her run off to play with the little girl that was playing on the slide. "Don't leave the park!"
"Okay!"
And when he looked up towards the spot that James had previously been standing at, James was walking towards him. Logan's heartbeat started racing, not sure whether he should run or stay there and confront him. And really, just standing in the same proximity was bad enough, because he seriously looked just as amazing as he used to. There was no way in hell actually talking to him would be good.
"Uh, hi." James said, as soon as he approached Logan.
A/N: Noo! That's what you're thinking, right? Well, I couldn't help it. I kind of love cliffhangers, as long as I'm not reading the story; which is probably a little rude. But. Sorry… :)
Anyways, there was no Jett in this chapter. There was mentions of him, but no actual Jett. So, that's good for those Jett haters. And James and Logan finally met up; which was sooner than I really wanted. But it works out.
So, don't forget to review. :D
