MUHAHAHAHA I HAVE RETURNED! Sorry I've been gone for so long, I went on vacation for a 2 weeks, came back for a week, then went off to THE MOST AWESOME SUMMER CAMP EVER! It's called The Center for Courageous Kids and it's for kids that have life-threatening or chronic diseases. And I have a thing with multiple names, but exactly what I have is J.I.A. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (nonlife-threatening btw).
So I went to the Juvenile Arthritis and Epilepsy week and it was CRAZY FUN! I don't think I've been treated that normal since my disease attacked. Like I used to hate taking my thousands of pills everyday while my sister got to do normal stuff, but while I was there EVERYONE took a lot of medication. And so I felt normal for a week!
I'm home now, listening to If I Ruled the World and Stand by Rascal Flatts, and I just had to write. So, here is what I write.
And P.S. In this story, just in case you didn't know, I have the boys bedrooms connected, so there's a door leading from one room to the other.
Kendall woke up the next morning to his alarm clock blaring. He sat up and glared at the demonic thing for a second, before turning it off. He stretched his arms above his head and looked across the room at a still sleeping Logan, which was weird because Logan's alarm clock usually went off about an .
"Logan!" He called over to his friend, still stretching. "Logan, get up!" He called again, standing up. When Logan still didn't respond, he grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
Logan sat up with a jolt and looked at Kendall. "What the heck, dude?" He called at him.
"If been yelling for a few minutes and you wouldn't get up, so I threw a pillow at you." He said, as if it was obvious.
Logan glared at him. "Well, if this helps, remember I'm now DEAF!" He yelled before grabbing the clothes he had laid out and storming out of the room.
Kendall quickly felt guilt overwhelm him and chased after Logan, just as a thought crossed his mind. Logan responded to me talking to him, not signing. He, being taller and running, quickly caught up with Logan and jumped in front of him. "Dude, did you hear me talk?" He asked, hope filling his heart.
Logan stared at him with tears in his eyes. When Kendall said that, one fell. "No, I read your lips." He said, staring at the ground. "Some of my friends back in Texas were deaf, and they taught me how. Now, excuse me I have to take a shower." He pushed past Kendall and walked into the shower, purposely but unknowingly slamming the door.
Kendall flinched at the sound and walked back into his room to get ready himself.
As Logan turned on the shower he watched as the water fell. He knew the sound it made, but knowing is different than hearing.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He didn't like lying to Kendall about how he used to be in a foster home, but it was too late to tell him now. The only one who knew besides his adoptive parents was Mrs. Knight, and he only told her because that was the only way his new parents would let him go to Hollywood. He reluctantly agreed because the guys were the only friends he had and he wasn't letting them go. And it wasn't like they had ever really questioned him about his past, and when they did he just gave them a basic answer or changed the subject.
He sighed and wiped his eyes, continuing to get ready.
Carlos knocked on Kendall's door. After a couple seconds the door opened and a fresh dressed Kendall looked at him. "Hey Carlitos, what's up?"
Carlos played with the straps of his helmet as he looked at Kendall. He took a deep breath and said, "I heard Logan yell, and I just wanted to know if everything was okay? Well, of course everything isn't okay, because he is… I just wanted to know if everything other than that was okay." He said, taking another deep breath after saying all that in one breath.
Kendall gave a small smile at his small friend. "Yeah, I just kind of forgot he was deaf and he reminded me."
Carlos nodded, a sad look on his face. He looked in the direction of the bathroom and said, "It's something we'll just have to get used to, and he knows it. He's just mad that he can't hear, and you gave him a way to lash out. It will probably happen a lot over the next couple of days while he adapts, but he's Logan and he'll realize what he's doing and he'll apologize. So, don't get too upset for something we can't control." He looked back up at Kendall, his eyes glittery with tears.
Kendall looked down at him, shocked. "Wow Carlos, that was actually…good advice. Like, really good."
Carlos looked at him with a smile. "See? I'm not all nonsense, now come on! Your mom said she'd make chocolate chip pancakes!" He said, almost jumping up and down than running/ jumping down the hall.
Kendall laughed. "Well, dramatic moment ruined. Only Carlos." He smiled then turned and walked towards Carlos and James room, knocking on the door. "James, you in there?" He called.
"Yep, one sec." Kendall counted 3 seconds before the door opened. "What's up K-dog?" He asked, running a comb through his hair.
"May I come in JJ?" He asked. A smile came on both his and James face at the sound of the old time nicknames.
"Sure, just beware. Carlos' clothes are everywhere." He took a step back and let Kendall in.
Kendall stared wide eyed at the half of the room with clothes everywhere. "What happened? It was mostly clean last night!" He said.
James laughed. "Carlos couldn't pick an outfit. And so, every outfit he owns ends up covering the room with his clothes. Go figure." James shrugged and sat on his own neat bed. "So, what's up?"
Kendall sighed and said. "Are you upset?"
James looked at him, shocked. "Dude, my best friend just went deaf, of course I'm upset."
Kendall shook his head. "No, well yeah, but no. Are you upset about the band?"
James sighed and looked down at his lucky comb. "Yeah, I guess. I mean this was my dream, all of this. And it just kept getting better… But I'd rather watch over Logan than be…famous." He said with a sigh. He looked up at Kendall with an obviously forced smile.
Kendall put a hand on James' shoulder. "You're a good friend James, and this will mean a lot to Logan, don't get too upset about it." James nodded and Kendall got up and walked out into the living room.
The smell of chocolate chip pancake hit him quickly and he looked over to see Carlos drenching his breakfast in syrup.
"Dude that might be too much sugar for you." Kendall said with a laugh as he sat down next to him.
Carlos shook his head and closed the maple syrup. "Chocolate pancakes Kendall; I'm living it up while I can." He stuffed a huge chunk of pancake in his mouth and looked like a chipmunk. Kendall started laughing, but stopped as he heard the shower turn off.
About five minutes later Logan came out in fresh clothes and wet hair. Carlos looked at him with the best smile he could muster with a mouth filled with pancakes and syrup. Logan grinned at the sight of his goofy best friend.
Logan walked over and sat down next to Kendall and across from Carlos, grabbing some of the pancakes from the middle of the table. "Where are James and the females?" He asked.
"James is back in his room, and Mrs. Knight and Katie left just as I came in for breakfast. Katie was going on about some new video game that came out today." Carlos answered then took a big sip of his milk.
Logan stared at Carlos for a second, watching his mouth move but unable to tell what he said because Carlos had talked with a full mouth. "All that sugar is gonna make you explode Carlos." He said, changing the subject.
Carlos shrugged and took another bite of pancake. Logan chuckled, or at least felt it, and took a bite of his plain chocolate chip pancakes.
James came out a few minutes later and joined the silent breakfast. Carlos would say something every now and then, and Kendall and James would smile slightly, but Logan would looked at them confused and it would ruin the mode when one of them would sign-spell what he had said, and it would also ruin the joke.
Logan hated it! He sat there watching his friends, the silence he heard nearly making his head explode. He watched as they all just sat there and ate, every now and then Carlos' mouth would move rapidly and he'd do weird hand gestures that probably made since if he knew what he was saying.
Once they finished breakfast the boys slipped on their shoes and headed down to the lobby. It wasn't until when they had reached the parking lot that a thought crossed him mind.
He tapped Logan on the shoulder and the smaller boy turned and looked at him. "Yeah?" He asked. His stomach dropped again, a sense that he was feeling way too often, not knowing if Kendall had heard him or not. Not knowing if he had yelled, or even said it at all.
Kendall stared at him for a second; going over the letters he needed to sign. C-A-N Y-O-U S-T-I-L-L D-R-I-V-E? (Can you still drive?)
Logan looked at him, shocked for a second. How much hearing do you have to use when you're driving? He hadn't really thought about it before. Could he get in trouble for driving without being able to hear? Could they somehow get in an accident all because he couldn't hear? Maybe a car would lose control and try to warn them by honking their horn, but Logan would never know.
Logan sighed and nodded. They were only going to Rocque Records, what could happen?
Kendall nodded and got into the passenger's seat of the BTR mobile while Carlos and James got in back. Logan stood there for a second, thinking about what all could happen, before joining his friends in the car.
He turned the key to turn on the engine, but looked at Kendall to make sure it was running. When Kendall nodded Logan began the journey to Rocque Records.
Wow, this chapter was really a bunch of nothing… Oh well.
Okay, so I've been watching the Zoey 101 marathon thingy on Teenick, and I remembered something I meant to say a while ago:
Erin Sanders plays Quinn Pensky on Zoey 101, and she also plays Camille Roberts on BTR, right? Right. Well, in like the last season of Zoey 101, Quinn started dating Logan Reese. Well, Camille is/did date Logan Mitchell. Either way in both Nick shows Erin Sanders has been in, at some point her love interest has been a Logan.
Just a weird thing that's been bugging me for a while.
Okay, so review Por Favor.
Dani!
