Hey everyone I'm back! I'm back with a new chapter! Just to let you know things are about to get intense so brace yourselves for empact! Anyway here you go!

Kendall's P.O.V

I was frozen in shock as James told Logan and me what was going on. I could never ever see my mom kicking me out. Sure she'd be disappointed, but she would never kick me out. I glanced at his face and his eyes were squeezed tight it was obvious that he was trying not to cry. "And now I have nowhere to go!" He said and I glanced at Logan.

"Look maybe I can talk to my mom or something." He said trying to comfort the boy.

"You think you can?"

"Yeah. She still likes you even though we've fallen out. She weirdly said that we'd make it up eventually." Logan grinned and stood up. "I'll just call her and we'll see what she says."

After an hour they had it all arranged. James was going to be staying in the guest room for a while and I smiled. James sighed and nodded. He seemed tense as if he were waiting for an attack or something. "James what's wrong?" I asked.

"I just expected it to go worse. Maybe not though." He glanced over at Logan who shrugged.

"Well I could scream that you destroyed my life, but I'm approaching this logically so no James I'm not going to tell you all the horrible things you've done to me or that I might have depression. So just relax for now."

"What? You could be depressed?" Logan looked down then nodded.

"Yeah I could." He said looking back up. James groaned covering his face.

"I caused this didn't I?"

"Well not just you. Jett and Wayne Wayne and all the jocks." James sighed.

"You know I should have been concerned when Jett was bragging about how he had gotten you. I knew deep down I was. I didn't allow myself to feel concerned. Then when Wayne Wayne had started bragging I really got concerned. I had been in a relationship with him and I knew what it was like. It was horrible! He thought he could do anything he wanted, but I fought back and then I ended it which made my mom actually happy for once." I knew we all looked pretty shocked. James sighed. "I'm sorry Logan!"

"In time I'll forgive you for that too."

James's P.O.V

Kendall stayed for a while, but then he got called for dinner and so it was just me and Logan. Logan grinned. "Ok so I guess I'll make dinner unless—"

"No I got it." I said standing up and heading towards the kitchen. "It's the least I can do." I said stepping in and smiling to myself. Memories came back of Logan and I playing in here and his mom telling us to go play somewhere else. I smiled and moved to boil some water. Then I started rummaging through the cupboards for noodles, sauce, and a box of cheesy garlic bread.

"You sure?" Logan asks from the doorway.

"Trust me I got it." I say grinning over at him. He mistrustfully smiles back. I knew it was going to be a long time before I could even gain an ounce of his trust. As I worked there was a knock on the door and I thought it was Kendall before I heard Carlos's sweet voice.

"Hey Logie!"

"Hey Letos!" Logan said and I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Someone stayin over?" He asked. He headed toward the kitchen and I just had time to set the spatula down before Carlos had me in his arms pinning me against the counter. "What" he hissed angrily "Are you doing here? Come to kill Logan more?"

"N-n-no!" I gasped out my face flushing.

"Are you lying to me?"

"Carlos stop!" Logan said pulling him off me. "Listen James's mom kicked him out!:"

"Oh so he just decided to come here?"

"Y-y-yeah." I said as Logan held his best friend back. "Just-just listen." I gasped rubbing my neck.

As I explained it Carlos sat down and listened. He sort of relaxed before saying "Your right! Logie isn't going to forgive you that easily!"

"I-I know. I'm willing to do whatever it takes though to gain it back." Carlos couldn't help, but smile.

"Well now that makes sense." He says getting up and grabbing some soda. ""Well I'm stayin too. Just to make sure nothing goes wrong!" I noticed he emphasized the nothing.

Logan's P.O.V

When mom got home she smiled at James then Carlos and me. "Smells good!" She says hanging up her coat.

"James made it." I said. "It's good." James blushed as Carlos nodded.

"Well I hope there's enough for me." She said laughing at James's expression. She motioned him with her and they disappeared, but from the location of the living room we could hear what they were saying. "So I take it James that you are trying to make up with my Logie?"

"Yes ma'am." He said.

"Good. The next time you hurt Logan it isn't just going to be Carlos hurting you understand?"

"Yes-yes ma'am." He almost squeaked.

"Good and Carlos" she raised her voice "You can stay here too, but you shouldn't just stay for protection!" Carlos turned red at her voice.

"O-ok." He said and I couldn't help, but smile. James came back looking a bit scared. He sat down beside Carlos and he looked back over his shoulder.

"Mom you scared him." I said grinning.

"What's wrong James has your mom never protected you before?" she asked as she came back with a full plate. Slowly he shook his head.

"No-no she well she doesn't care that much! She rather see me put everyone under me than see me for me or see who I truly am." He finished and fell silent staring out the window. "Did she talk to you?"

"No just to say that my son should stay away from hers." He nodded and sighed.

"Oh well I'm used to it by now." I looked over at him and suddenly I felt sorry for him. Here he was with a mom who didn't want her son only to make sure her legacy was continued of being the biggest snob of them all. It worked all right, but at what cost? James stood up and took his plate to the sink. A second later I joined him only to see tears flowing down his cheeks.

"You're not." I said quietly.

"What?"

"You're not used to it."

"I am!"

"No you're not no one could ever be! Sure ok you're used to it, but you care about what happens to you don't you?"

"No-no I don't!" I raised my eyebrows.

"Come on James" Carlos's voice sounded behind me. "Of course you do otherwise you wouldn't be crying!" He turned away frantically wiping his eyes. "Look you do care! Anyone would! It's human nature to try to please your mom." His voice softened.

"Yeah well I've done enough pleasing and look where it's gotten me!" he snapped walking away. Carlos and I stared at each other before a hand landed on my shoulder.

"Don't! Don't go after him. It's clear to me that he's not used to either people or people who care about him. My advice give it time he'll understand what it's like." I sighed.

"It's obvious to me now." I said nodding. "He may be gaining my trust back, but there's a lot more that he needs than trust. He needs someone who loves him for him and someone who's going to be there for him than just someone who's going to cast him off as something they want instead."
