Chapter 3 The Beach

"You stayed with him last night didn't you?" James asked

"Yes. Nothing happened. We just fell asleep" I said

"That's it?. You know he went on tour with Demi recently right. You know I want what's best for you and I dont want to see you get hurt. Please, please be careful for me." he said

"I will. It's not like im falling for his charm right away or anything, I just want to wait to see how things go. After eleven years, I owe it to myself to finally find out how he feels" I said

"Even if it means your hurt in the end?" he aksed

"Yes. That's the only way I will be able to move on" I told James who hugged me

"I'll always be here for you baby girl. Just please be careful" he said and squeezed me before disappearing into the shower. When James finished showering, I had showered and we headed for the beach for the day. Carlos and Alexa would join us later on. They were making last minute changes to the wedding. Tonight was the bachelorette party for Alexa and tomorrow was Carlos' bachelor party. I joined Bridget on the car ride to the beach. She noticed something was wrong but didn't dare ask in front of Kendall or James who were riding with us. WE got to the beach and I slipped off my shorts and tshirt and then laid down on the beach blanket and threw my sunglasses on.

"Alright spill" she said

"What?"

"Kendall stayed in my room last night because he said you were in the room with Logan. We heard you guys talking all night as well. Anything else happen?" she asked

"Nope. Nothing. A little flirting. But that's all"

"You seem disappointed is there anything wrong?" she asked

"James just told me he was on Demi's recent tour with her. That sort of bothers me a little bit considering the fact that they could possibly be having something going on. I don't want that." I said

"I know. Talk to him about it and let him know" she said

"Good idea. I'll casually bring it up"

"Just ask how it was and you saw it on twitter" she said

"Thanks Bridg" I said "How are things going with you and Kendall?"

"Well, I heard it was your idea, for Logan to give Kendall the idea to take me on a walk down the beach where candles magically appeared down a long path that ended at a nice little midnight snack picnic" she said and I shrugged

"Your welcome" I said and she hugged me

"Thanks for the help."

"Well I know he's to dumb to make the move himself, so I may have blurted out to Logan that we are helping get you two togheter before we leave here, and he's helping me with it and he sort of mentioned to Kendall that I mentioned to him that you like a few things." I said she smiled and nodded her head at the incoming Logan who sat beside me.

"Hey Aly, can we talk?" he asked

"Sure."

"I'll leave you two alone" Bridget said

"No it's okay. You can stay" he said to her

"But I was gonna check up on Kendall anyway" she said

"If you insist" he said and she winked at me and I shook my head at her

Logan waited until she was out of earshot to start talking.

"James mentioned to me that he was concerned that you stayed with me last night. If your uncomfortable with it let me know and I will end it here. That will be the last of it. But I don't mind at all. It was nice and I enjoy spending time with you. I miss it. He also told me that he had concerns that I was on tour with Demi and he didn't want me to hurt you. I know you probably saw my twitter being updated over the course of the months with pictures of her tour. Yes, I did tour with her. I wasn't her opening act or anything but more like her mentor. She asked me to come along with her to keep her company. She gets lonely, I mean at least we had three other guys to keep us company. I want you to know, because I think you need to know. That nothing ever happened between me and her on the bus or anywhere for that matter. I have never had feelings for her. She will only ever be a friend to me. That's something I thought you should know." he said

"I appreciate the honesty. It doesn't matter to me if your friends with her or anything more. As long as your honest with me. " I told him

"I know. I just needed you to know the truth. I didn't want you to get the wrong idea between me and her and it ruins things between us or even complicates it."

"It's okay Logan" I said hugging him

"James, had the impression something was going on with me and her and it worried him."

"Of course, big brother James is back and we have only been here a day" I said

James came walking up to us and threw me the football.

"Your going down Maslow" I said.

I jumped onto his back and he walked over to where Carlos and Kendall were. Logan followed beside us laughing. Bidget and Alexa were sitting back watching us.

"Do not injure my bridesmaid or someone will be injured!" Alexa shouted

"Please, I do not get hurt" I said just then some kid came smacking into my ribs and sent me flying on my butt.

"Aly are you okay?" Logan asked running over to me while Carlos chased after the guy who sent me on my butt.

Kendall and James hovered over me and I started laughing.

"Are you hurt?" Kendall asked

"No." I said

I got back up and started to play football like nothing had happened. When we were finished playing football I decided to go join the other girls.

"He watches you like a hawk" Alexa said

"I know he's so overprotective"

"Well do you really want him to be with you if he's like that?" Alexa asked

"Who are you talking about?" I asked

"Oh, I was talking about Logan." she said

"I was talking about James. He's a bit overprotective. Like a big brother"

"I noticed they all are when it comes to you"

"In time they will do the same to you" I told her

"We're all getting together for dinner tonight before the big bachelorette party. I still can't believe they are making you go to the bachelor party as well."

"Im not. Im going to pretend im sick. I really don't want to join them in there guyish things" I said

"Just stay with us. Were going to watch some movies in my room" Bridget said

"Sounds like a plan then. Your last night as a single lady!" I said

"Let's just hope we all get out of bed in the morning" Bridget said looking to me.

We went back to our hotel rooms and got ready for the bachelorette party. I started writing a little bit before I left. I added a whole new chapter as well as wrote the first chapter to another story. I made my way down to the car with the other girls.
