Chapter 4: Water and Tranquilizers
Dak woke up with a familiar pair of strong arms wrapped around him. He smiled as he looked over his shoulder. He saw Jett's sleeping face and his smile grew. He was so happy that he was with Jett right now. Things could not be better with them. Dak sighed contentedly and leaned more into Jett.
"Good morning," Jett mumbled slowly opening his eyes. Dak smiled and rolled over completely to face Jett.
"Morning Jett," Dak said. He leaned in and pecked Jett on the lips.
"I suppose we have to get up," Jett said.
"Not yet," Dak said.
"If we wait too long Kelly will get mad and you know we have to leave camp today to run errand for her," Jett said.
"Oh that's right we're short on counselor this year," Dak said.
"We have just enough counselors to meet the camper to counselor ratio but Kelly wants a few more just incase and today we're going into town to find some people who want summer jobs," Jett said.
"At least I'll be with you," Dak said smiling sweetly at Jett.
"I know," Jett said smiling as well. "Which reminds me I'll have to call my dad and see if he got the hotel," he said.
"That reminds me," Dak said slowly.
"What?" Jett asked.
"I don't want to get married at the hotel anymore," Dak said.
"What?" Jett asked sitting up.
"Hear me out please," Dak said jutting his lower lip out. Jett crossed his arms and motioned for Dak to go on. "I want to do it somewhere more meaningful," he said.
"Where do you have in mind then?" Jett asked smiling slightly.
"Here," Dak said, "by the lake," he said. Jett smiled at that.
"Why here though?" Jett asked wanting to hear Dak's reasons.
"Well it's where we've had a lot of firsts," Dak said.
"Like," Jett prompted.
"It's where we first met, had our first kiss, and when you first asked me out," Dak said blushing.
"You're forgetting one very important first," Jett said.
"We had our first time here," Dak said, "in this cabin actually," he said smiling as he climbed into Jett's lap. He straddled the taller brunette. Jett smiled.
"I love you," Jett said as he pulled Dak into a kiss. "If you want to get married here I'll talk to Kelly and Gustavo," he said against Dak's lips. Dak pulled back smiling.
"That's all it took? I was prepared to seduce you and probably blow you if I had to," Dak said.
"What? Had I known I wouldn't have caved so easily," Jett said pouting.
"I can still blow you as a thank you," Dak said bringing his hand down to Jett's crotch.
-Summer Nights-
Logan followed Katie and Presley down the path to the lake. They all three had canoeing. Katie was excited to show Presley how to do it since Presley had never done it before in her life. Logan knew this was probably going to be funny. They reached the lake and saw James and Kendall were there talking. Logan inwardly groaned.
"Hey guys," James said once he saw them. Logan smiled at him.
"Hey James," Logan said.
"Hi," Presley and Katie said together.
"Guys, there's been a mix up and there is an odd number of campers here," Kelly said walking up to the group with a clipboard in her hands.
"Darn, I'll just head back to my cabin and do this next time," Logan said. He was eager to get away from the blonde and the stare he was giving him. He didn't like it.
"I was going to say would one of you form a group of three," Kelly said giving Logan a 'nice try' look.
"It was worth a shot," Logan said shrugging. Presley and Katie moved to stand beside Logan.
"Join us," they said together.
"Looks like we got our group of three," Kelly said smiling.
"I don't have a say in this do I?" Logan asked. Kelly shook her head and Logan sighed.
"Fine I'll go with you two," he said to Presley and Katie who both squealed and jumped up and down and then hugged him.
"Ok everyone get with your partner and get a canoe," Kelly said to the group that had gathered. Logan followed Katie and Presley ignoring the blonde behind him. Logan and Katie grabbed a canoe and moved down to the lake with Presley.
"Who sits where?" Katie asked.
"I'll take the middle since I have no idea what to do," Presley said.
"It's not that hard Pres," Logan said laughing, "you just want to be lazy," he said as he and Katie set the canoe into the water.
"Oh how well you know me Loges," Presley said laughing. Katie got a map from Kelly and the list for the route they were taking and the three got into the canoe and started for the rive that ran off the lake. Logan didn't need to look over his shoulder to know that Kendall and James were right behind them. The three entered the river and slowed their pace down.
"This is nice," Presley said looking around.
"Yeah, now you read the directions and follow the map," Logan said handing the map to her. Presley nodded and read off the instructions and then calculated the route on the map. Logan looked over his shoulder after they turned the bend and saw James and Kendall turn as well. He was surprised they hadn't tired talking to them.
"So Katie how are things with Tyler?" Presley asked.
"Who's Tyler?" Logan asked.
"Just this boy I met," Katie said shrugging.
"Just a boy?" Logan asked. He took a peek over his shoulder and saw Kendall and James had fallen behind them a bit. "Come on you can be truthful I don't think they can hear us," Logan said.
"Fine, he's cute, but I don't know if he likes me," Katie said rolling her eyes.
"Katie, just be careful with a camp crush and don't rush into it like I did," Logan said.
"What even happened between you two? Kendall won't tell me," Katie said.
"It just didn't work out between us," Logan said looking down at the water. The three fell silent for a bit.
-Summer Nights-
"Wow he must really be mad at you," James said as he and Kendall trailed behind Logan, Katie, and Presley.
"Yeah," Kendall said, "I wish I knew what I did," he said.
"I thought you were moving on?" James asked.
"I want to, but that doesn't mean I can't wonder about what went wrong," Kendall said, "I mean one minute we're laughing and joking and then we're fighting and he just broke up with me," he said.
"What did you guys fight about," James asked.
"I don't remember it was over a month ago," Kendall sighed. He really wished he knew what had happened. He hated not knowing and it was killing him.
"Not forgetting about it won't help you move on," James said.
"I know, but I just cant," Kendall said, "I still love him James," he said.
"I know but he obviously doesn't feel the same way, or if he does he's good at hiding it. You're better off just trying to move on," James said.
"Yeah cause moving on will be so easy to do when Logan and I are the only two single gay teens for miles," Kendall said.
"Ok that might not be the best thing, but just forget about him being your ex and think of him as an annoying roommate who is friends with your friends," James said.
"I can't do that," Kendall said.
"Ok now you're just being difficult," James said. He looked ahead in time to see Katie, Logan, and Presley's canoe hit a big rock and start to rock. Presley started to freak and the canoe tipped. The three went into the water.
"Come on let's go help them," James said. Kendall sighed and nodded his head. They rowed up to the three as they all stood up in the waist deep water. "you guys ok?" James asked.
"Yeah we're fine," Katie said as she grabbed the canoe and flipped it over.
"Where's you're map?" James asked looking as he watched it float away.
"I don't know I lost it when we flipped over," Presley said.
"It's over there floating away," James said.
"Great it's ruined," Katie said as she managed to climb back into the canoe with Presley.
"Nice one," Kendall said stifling his laughter.
"You think that's funny," Logan asked turning to glare and Kendall and James who were both trying not to laughed.
"Yeah it kind of is," James laughed. Logan made his way over to Kendall and James' canoe and tipped it over. The two fell into the water with a shout. Logan laughed as they both surfaced sputtering. Logan started back for his canoe with Katie and Presley in it already and they were laughing.
"That was so uncalled for," Kendall hollered at Logan.
"Maybe, but it felt so damn good," Logan said smirking as Kendall's glare hardened.
"You're an ass," Kendall said.
"You're a bigger one," Logan snapped.
"God, I can't believe I even dated you," Kendall said. He hadn't meant to say it. It had just slipped out, but it was out now.
"Me either, you have got to be one of my biggest mistakes ever," Logan said angrily. Kendall stood there glaring at the brunette. They stood there staring at one another. Before he knew what was happening Logan lunged at him and pushed him into the water. They both went under ad got caught in the current.
Kendall vaguely heard people shouting his and Logan's names. Kendall reached the surface and realized they were coming up to some string currents. Logan's head came out of the water in front of him and they both tried to fight the current, but gave up until they reached weaker currents and shallower water. Logan stood up and turned to face Kendall glaring at the blonde.
"Look what you did," Kendall said accusingly.
"Me?" Logan asked incredulously.
"Yes, you if you hadn't tipped me and James over we wouldn't be here right now," Kendall said.
"Oh please, if had just kept your big mouth shut we wouldn't be in this situation," Logan said annoyed.
"Oh please you started this," Kendall said.
"Yes cause I made you laugh and be an inconsiderate jerk," Logan snapped.
"I'm sorry," Kendall said looking down at the water around his knees.
"For what?" Logan asked
"Everything," Kendall said.
"It's not that simple," Logan said, "you can't just apologize without knowing what you're apologizing for," he said.
"Just tell me what I did and I'll make it better," Kendall said.
"No, you have to figure this one out on your own," Logan said shaking his head. He turned away from Kendall.
"Just tell me what I did," Kendall said walking over to Logan. He placed his hand on Logan's shoulder. Logan tensed at the touch, but he didn't jerk away. Kendall walked around him. "I am sorry for what ever I did," he said.
"It doesn't work that way," Logan said shaking his head.
"Why?" Kendall asked. Logan looked up into Kendall's eyes. Kendall saw his eyes glazed with unshed tears.
"Don't make this harder than it has to be," Logan said trying to blink his tears away.
"Logie," Kendall said softly. Logan blinked his eyes a few times. Kendall leaned in and pressed his lips to Logan's. Logan gasped in surprise, but he kissed back.
"Logan! Kendall!"
"Where are you guys!"
Logan snapped back into reality and pushed Kendall away from him. Kendall looked confused.
"No," Logan said shaking his head. He moved away from the blonde and tripped over a branch in the water and fell down. Kendall moved to help him. "Don't," Logan said as he scrambled to his feet.
"Logan!" Presley called. Kendall turned around and saw the girls canoe coming towards them with James right behind them.
"Are you guys ok?" Katie asked getting out of her canoe and running over to Kendall.
"I'm fine," Kendall said.
"Yeah," Logan said walking over to the canoe with Presley.
"Come on we shouldn't have much further to go," James said. Kendall nodded and got in the canoe with James while Katie and Logan got into their canoe.
-Summer Nights-
Dak sighed as he followed Jett into another building where they were to hang fliers for counselors for camp. They had been putting flyers up all morning.
"How many more?" Dak asked.
"Just one more," Jett said as he stuck a flyer to the board. They turned and left. Dak groaned.
"This is boring," Dak said.
"Well you can sit in the car and wait," Jett said.
"It's hot as fuck in the car no way," Dak said. Jett laughed and placed his arm around Dak's waist and kissed the side of his head as they walked out to the car. "Oh you still have to call your dad," Dak said.
"Right," Jett said as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. He dialed his father's number as he walked around the car. Dak stood against his door as he watched Jett talked to his father. He waited until Jett hung up his phone and turned to him.
"So?" Jett asked.
"He hadn't had time to get the hotel and is happy we found a better place," Jett said.
"Ok my next question is when is the date?" Dak asked as they got into the car.
"We'll have to talk to Kelly and Gustavo first and see if we can use the camp," Jett said. Dak nodded his head ad Jett started driving. "I hope they say yes, having the wedding at the camp would be so amazing. The scenery is beautiful and it has so many memories," Dak said. Jett pulled up to the curb one last time.
"Gonna wait here?" Jett asked. Dak nodded his head. Jett got out of the car and walked up to the bulletin board outside a shop and pinned up the last flyer. He made his way back to the car. He got in and started driving again. "So Dak what is your favorite camp memory," Jett asked.
"Besides our first time I'd have to say our first kiss," Dak said.
"That was fun," Jett said smiling.
"What about yours," Dak asked.
"The first time I asked you and you said no. I like it because I remember how I spent the whole summer trying to change your mind," Jett said.
"I remember that," Dak said, "I am glad you didn't give up," he said smiling.
"Me too," Jett said.
"Now look where we are," Dak said smiling as he reached over and grabbed Jett's hand as he drove. "We're about to get married and spend the rest of our lives together," he said.
-Summer Nights-
Logan got out of the van as quickly as he could. He hadn't said a word to Kendall since the others had arrived. He was never so glad to have Katie and Presley show up. They had stopped him from forgiving the blonde. He wasn't ready for that. Kendall still had no idea what he had done.
Logan was seething as he walked down the trail. He was so mad at the blonde and he just wished he would fall in a hole. He wanted Kendall to get hurt so bad, that's how mad he was.
"Logan," Katie called after him.
"I need to change," Logan said as he started down the trail that led to his cabin.
"What happened back there between you and Kendall," Katie asked.
"Nothing," Logan said. He heard a scoff come from behind him. Logan looked over his shoulder at Kendall. He glared at the blonde.
"Come on Logie," Kendall said.
"Don't call me that," Logan said "you ruined it and if you want to apologize I am all ears, but you have to know what you're apologizing for," he said as he continued to walk down the path with the two Knights following him.
A low growl sounded from ahead of them. Logan froze as he looked at the big black bear before him. He didn't know what to do. He looked to his side at Kendall who was frozen as well.
"Don't move," Kendall said.
"Didn't plan on it," Logan said his eyes wide with fear. He had no idea what to do. He had never been in this position before.
"Kendall," Katie said.
"Katie, Logan, there is a bear alarm a little ways back and there is an emergency box below it," Kendall said.
"Don't do anything dumb," Logan said warningly. The bear just stood there not moving or acknowledging them at all. It didn't seem to noticed them at all.
"As soon as we move it will see us," Kendall said.
"Kendall," Logan said.
"You two have to go back. One hit the button to sound the alarm and wait for Kelly and Gustavo and the other open the box and get the tranquilizer gun and come back," Kendall said.
"Kendall don't," Logan said grabbing the blonde's arm.
"I am going to make a run for it and get out of the way, you will have a few seconds to get our of here," Kendall said lowly.
"Kendall," Katie said.
"Just do it," Kendall said through clenched teeth.
"Kendall don't be dumb," Logan said again. He looked over at the blonde. All his anger at him had vanished and he didn't want to the blonde to get hurt anymore.
"This is dangerous," Katie said.
"Logie you're quicker than Katie get the tranquilizer gun and come back," Kendall said.
"Kendall," Logan said.
"Damn it Logan just go after I get the bears attention," Kendall said. Logan finally nodded his head knowing it was better than just standing here. Kendall looked over at Logan who had grabbed Katie's arm.
"Kendall," Katie said.
"I'll be fine," Kendall said. He then moved and got the bears attention and Logan grabbed Katie's arm tighter and took off running. Logan didn't looked back until they reached the bear alarm. He let go of Katie and fell to his knees and opened the box as Katie hit the button. He grabbed the tranquilizer gun which was loaded.
"Wait here for Kelly and Gustavo and keep kids from going down the path," Logan said as he took off running back to Kendall. He reached the spot where he had last seem the blonde and saw the bear starting to climb a tree. Logan looked up and saw Kendall.
"Shoot it," Kendall hollered. Logan snapped back to reality and looked down at the bear that had turned stopped trying to climb the tree. Logan shot the dart and hit the bear in the back. The bear turned towards him. Logan stood there frozen. The bear then fell to the ground in a heap. Kendall jumped down from the tree and moved over to Logan. "Are you ok?" Kendall asked.
Without warning Logan threw his arms around Kendall tears slipping down his cheeks. Kendall, shocked, allowed Logan to hug him.
"I was so worried," Logan said into the blonde's shoulder. "You are such an idiot you could've been hurt," he scolded the blonde pulling away from him.
"I didn't think you would care so much," Kendall said. Logan looked at Kendall for a second. He was torn between being mad at the blonde and caring for the blonde.
"Of course I care you idiot," Logan snapped after a second.
"Then why-" Kendall started.
"Kendall! Logan!"
They both turned and saw Kelly, Gustavo, Dak, and Jett running down the trail with Katie behind them.
"Are you guys ok?" Dak asked.
"We're fine, Logan knocked the bear out with a tranquilizer," Kendall said pointing to the tranquilizer gun Logan had dropped. Katie ran over to the two and threw her arms around Kendall.
"Big brother you are an idiot. You could've gotten hurt," Katie said, "you too," she said turning to the brunette behind her.
Logan took a few steps back from her and Kendall. He would let her scold her brother while he tried to figure out what he wanted. He wasn't sure right now what he wanted. All he knew was that he had been scared that Kendall would get hurt or possibly killed by the bear. He had been so worried about the blonde, but he still wanted to be mad at the blonde. He had hurt him and given the chance Kendall might do so again. Logan didn't want to go through that pain again.
"Logan are you ok?" Dak asked.
"Yeah," Logan said turning to Dak. He forced a smile onto his face.
"Come on let's get out of here while they take care of the bear," Dak said grabbing Logan's arm and pulling him back along the trail Logan let him and was vaguely aware that Jett was leading Kendall and Katie away from the bear as well.
They walked down the trail and came to a bunch of campers waiting to hear what had happened. No doubt they had heard about the bear alarm going off. Logan saw their friends all standing together.
"What happened?" Carlos asked once they were close enough.
"There was a bear," Kendall said.
"Oh my god no one got hurt did they?" Jo asked
"No one got hurt," Dak said, "the bear is being taken care of," he said.
"No one is to go down that trail until the bear is gone and Kelly and Gustavo give the ok," Jett said. Everyone nodded.
"Now everyone get back to the mess hall for lunch," Dak said. The other campers nodded their heads and left. Dak started to walk away and noticed Logan wasn't moving yet.
"Logan you coming?" Dak asked.
"I'm not hungry," Logan said walking away in the direction of the lake. It was the place he went to think. He had a lot of thinking he had to do. Logan reached the lake and walked out onto the dock. He walked to the end and sat down.
"What happened between you two?"
Logan looked over his shoulder at Jett.
"Before or today?" Logan asked.
"Both," Jett said as he sat down next to Logan. Logan sighed and looked out across the lake.
"If I tell you can we keep this between us," Logan asked.
"Of course," Jett said.
"You can't tell Dak either," Logan said looking at Jett. Jett nodded his head. Logan sighed and looked down at his lap. Maybe telling someone would take away the pain. He knew this was something he had to do if he ever truly wanted to get over it. He would have to get this out.
Yeah, so that happened. I had to cut off somwhere this was getting a little long. Next chapter you will find out what happened and why Logan is so stubborn. I hope you enjoyed this. Also I put up a new story called Kogan ABC and I am up to B so far so go check it out. So review and let me know what you think.
