Chapter 4: Surprise Surprise!
Logan spent the rest of the week trying to understand why James was being an ass to him. Every time he got close to him James made an angry expression, he was starting to think he did something to him. In the rehearsal they sat as far as possible away from each other, during lunch they didn't talk. The only time they said something to each other was when James said, "get out of the way."
But now it was Friday night and Logan was in front of the mirror and he was done thinking about James. His dad said he had a surprise to him and that invited someone to dinner with them. He said "Logie bear, can you please dress nice tonight? It's kinda important." Being the good son he was, he didn't asked a lot. He went downstairs and went to the dining room to see four plates at the table. He was gonna try to know who was coming when the door bell rang and his father asked for him to open it.
"James? What are you doing here?" Logan asked when he opened the door to reveal the pretty boy. So Logan tried again when he got no answer. "James? Stop staring at me like I'm a monster and answer me. What happened?"
"I'm here with..."
"Oh you must be Logan. You look like Phillipe when he was at your age. Nice to meet you, I'm Brooke Diamond and I presume you know my son James." The woman was beautiful, even more prettier in person than in the pictures Logan saw at their place.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Diamond, please come in." He was just being as nice as ever and he couldn't understand what was going on. James still looked like he saw a ghost.
"You made it, right on time." Mr. Mitchell said looking at his watch. Logan never saw his dad flirting with anyone.
"I'll just say what is going on in Logan's head because it's the same thing in my head. What the hell is going on?" James asked, taking everyone by surprise.
"Honey, be nice ok? I already told you and now it's time for Phil to tell Logan." Brooke said with a smile as she stood next to Logan's dad.
"Logan son, I'm sorry I kept it from you but Brooke and I are dating."
"What? How? When? Why? We just got back that's totally impossible." Logan was stating to panic not that his father was dating, he would be happy for him if it wasn't for the shock and the fact it the mother of James Diamond.
"Brooke and I dated a long time ago, before we moved to L.A. We ran into each other a few months ago when she was there and we decided to try again. I didn't want to tell you because I wouldn't want you to worry if it went wrong, but not so it's alright son. Please understand." His son was the most important thing to him, he just wanted him to like her.
"I'm glad you're dating, I'm just not happy you kept it from me. But I understand I guess." He just wanted to make his father happy and he could live with that it wasn't like it was hell. Then something clicked on his mind. "Dad, is that the reason we came back?"
"Yes." He answered simply after exchanging a look with Brooke and she nodded. "Hm, Logie, you should sit on the couch. You too James." Both boys sat side by side not knowing what was going to happen but they could feel it wasn't good. "So, Brooke and I love each other" Logan's eyes went wide at that, it was the first time his father said he loved a woman that it wasn't his mother. "And please don't freak out but we're ready for this. She's moving in with James." Logan just stood there unable to answer when James just asked a simple question with all the anger possible.
"WHAT?"
"James, please. He makes me the happiest woman alive," his mother tried to calm him down.
"But our house is where I grew up. What about everything?"
"We can create great memories here James, if you let. We're not moving if you too agree." And Logan felt a pressure as his eyes went a little bit sad when he said that.
"James, I wanna talk to you, alone," Logan said before the tallest boy said anything and dragged him to his room.
"Logan I'm not agreeing so don't even bother."
"Shut up and listen to me." Logan demanded and James just sighed before staring at the small boy in front of him. Now that they were alone he could pay attention to him. He was using a black jacket with a white shirt and a jeans that was perfect to him. So simple but so beautiful.
"I never saw my dad so happy and yet so scared. Your mother seems happy too, they look like they are in love. I know that your mother is the most important thing in the world to you, even more than your looks so you want her happy right?" The pretty boy just nodded so Logan continued. "I don't care if you hate me but my dad and your mom love each other and we can't stand in their way ok?" Logan waited for a nod or something simple but he felt James' body pressing him against the door and his face only a few inches away.
"I'll play happy family for my mom but knows that I'll make you pay for everything that is happening and I don't fucking care if it's not your fault. If I see my mom sad for 1 second because of you or him you'll meet hell in this house," James said with all the anger he felt against Logan's dad and let him go when he saw that Logan was afraid enough. He opened the door and took the nerdy boy by his hand back downstairs where their parents was awaiting holding hands.
"We talked and we agree, we can't wait to be living together. And we only have one condition, share a room so we can feel like brothers," he said giving a bright smile while Logan just stood there not really sure what was going on, 30 seconds ago James was threatening him and Logan was now scared, more than 30 seconds ago.
"Ok, you two can share the room," Phillip said a little bit suspicious.
"Oh and, can we bring James' treehouse to the backyard?" Logan asked looking at the ground. "I know it means a lot for him." He looked at Brooke when he got no answer and failed to notice James staring at him in disbelief.
"Sure. I think we should eat the dinner now before the food gets cold," Brooke said looking at her lover who nodded.
They all gone to the dinning room and sat down. James next to Logan and in front of their parents. There was a awkward silence and Phillip was the first to speak.
"So James, Brooke told me you want to be famous."
"Hm, yeah. I want to be a singer slash actor slash model."
"I can't wait to hear you. We have a music room and I'll be happy to play while you sing, Logan is a great singer too."
"I know, we're in the glee club together and he is great," James said with a smile looking at Logan who wasn't sure what the hell James was doing.
"Why I didn't know you were at the glee club?" Phillip was now staring at Logan with a little bit of hurt in his eyes.
"Sorry I forgot to mention." He was so occupied thinking about how to deal with James he forgot to tell his dad about glee.
"What did you sing to get in?"
"He sang Jukebox Hero, it was amazing. He did those rock moves with the band and everyone was really glad to have him there. It will be a great help in competitions," James said that with so much joy that Logan almost believed they were best friends and liked each other.
"He loves old rock songs, he always play them on piano and guitar, guess it's his favorite genre." Logan was blushing, he always felt uncomfortable when other people talked about him in front of him.
"Your father told me you want to be a doctor. Why you choose doctor?" Brooke asked trying to be nice and friendly.
"Well, I wanna help people. I want to try and save people from death. I don't know yet what I'll specialize, but I have time to figure out." James had a smile on his face as Logan said that, it was the first honest smile of the night.
"That's wonderful, if you ever need anything I'll be happy to support," Brooke said giving a bright smile, exactly the ones James use when he is using his charm.
The whole dinner went normal the adults were happy, the kids seemed to get along. It was perfect by Brooke's point of view. She saw James happy for her, whatever that Logan said to him in the room it worked. She really hoped Logan could be a good influence on James. She loved his son but he needed to stop act like a child at most of the time. Her whole time to think was interrupted by Phillip next to her.
"It's a little late, why don't you spend the night? It will be a experiment. There is a mattress James can use."
"It would be lovely." James said putting his arm around the smallest boy's shoulders.
Phillipe took his son upstairs and didn't talked to him just happily dragged the mattress to Logan's room and with his help they made James' bed.
"Son, thank you for being so good for me and understanding," he said before he left the room and hugging his son.
"It's ok dad, as long as you're happy I'm happy," he answered, smiling in his father's hug.
"That doesn't sound cliche at all." They both turned around to find James in the doorway smiling kindly at them. "Mom told me to come sleep."
"I'll give you some clothes," Logan said opening the closet.
"Well good night boys, don't stay awake too much." The older man got out of the room closing the door, leaving the two boys alone.
"How do you usually sleep at night? Shirt? No shirt?" Logan asked and when he got no answer he turned around to see James staring at nothing. "James?" He went to the boy with a shirt and a pajama pants and snapped his fingers in front of his face.
"What? Did you said something?"
"Do you use shirts to sleep? Only pants?"
"Only pants." The tallest one answered and Logan blushed at the thought of James partially naked in his room. But he had to get over that. "What were you thinking?"
"I'm just confused. Whatever, give me the pants." He took the pants from Logan's hand and started to walk to the mattres on the floor where he put the same pants. He took off his shirt, then his shoes, the socks and when he was about to take his pants Logan spoke out loud.
"What are you doing? You should change in the bathroom." James just walked to Logan who started to step back in the same pace until he was pressed against the wall by James. A shirtless James. A really hot and full of lust James. The smart boy could feel the muscular body, his chest, his abs, he got chills all over his body feeling James' body and even more when James whispered in his ear.
"Why? I just thought I could change in my own room. Do I make you uncomfortable? I hope not because I..." And he took Logan's hands. "Was just..." He brought the other boys hands to the front of his skinny jeans. "Thinking about..." He used the hands to open the button. "Sleeping in boxers." And brought the hands to his sides to push the pants down. Logan just stood there feelings his hands all over James. "Would you like that Logie?" James traced a line from Logan's ear to his jaw with his tongue gaining a moan in response. Logan's own moan took him out of the trance and he pushed James away who had a smirk in his face. "I'll just go get a glass of water. Be right back" James turned around with a bigger smirk when he noticed the biggest bulge he ever saw in Logan's pants.
"Thank you God for making my life a fucking comedy show," Logan said alone in his room, he quickly changed his clothes and got in his bed. He wanted to sleep but he thought about the dinner he had, it was the first time he felt like a family dinner. He couldn't remember his mother too well since he was only 3 when she had the accident that took her away from him. He felt happy for that dinner, it meant so much for him. He could feel that he already liked Brooke and feel that they were gonna be a family soon. He started to think about his mom, he missed her so much all those years. Every Mother's Day he felt an empty that nobody could ever understand, he had his father of course but it's so hard to go home without a mother. He wanted to know so much about her and he couldn't, all because of a stupid drunk who decided it was ok to drive. Logan never knew he was crying, he never heard James coming back to the room too he only realized those two facts when he felt James arms around him.
"Please don't tell I made you cry," James sounded so desperate. He found out his weak spot, it was Logan crying. No one could ever know about that but right now he just wanted to hold the fragile crying boy tight and make the pain go away.
"No, it's just that I miss my mom so much, and today it was the first time I felt like I have a family. Even if it's to soon to say this, I'm happy for this future twist family we have." He couldn't control the tears and he felt so stupid for breaking down in front of James, well on top of James, right now the pretty boy was holding him while Logan's head was on his chest. He felt James hand on his hair, stroking lightly and he slowly felt his eyes closing, his mind starting to shut down and sleep with a smile on his face. He couldn't even hear when James said.
"I'm happy too Logie, good night," James whispered. He kissed Logan's head.
A.N: I wouldn't mind if James made some twisted plan of revenge like that for me. Just saying...
