Chapter 7: What is Love?

Logan smiled as he walked down the hall to his locker. He stopped when he saw Kendall waiting for him. He started walking again a smile on his lips. He reached his locker and stopped next to Kendall.

"Hey," Logan said as he stated opening his locker.

"Hey," Kendall said smiling.

"So have you talked to James?" Logan asked quietly. He grabbed the books he would need for his morning classes.

"No, but Carlos has," Kendall said, "he told me he James likes Dak," he said.

"He does?" Logan asked as he closed his locker.

"I'll talk to you after school about that though," Kendall said.

"Kay," Logan said, "so you know we never talked about what we were on our date," Logan said, "I was kind of hoping we were boyfriends," he said.

"I would love nothing more than that," Kendall said smiling. Logan smiled and leaned in and pecked Kendall on the lips.

"So can I walk you to class boyfriend?" Kendall asked. Logan smiled and nodded his head. Kendall linked his arm with Logan's. Logan smiled as they walked down the hall together. People were giving them weird looks but neither of them cared at the moment. They were just happy being with one another. Kendall let go of Logan's arm before they walked into their homeroom. Dak, Lucy, and Camille were sitting together in the front of the room talking. James and Carlos were in back already as well.

"Sit with me?" Logan asked quietly.

"Sure," Kendall said. He led Logan over to two empty desks in the middle of the room. Their friends all looked at them. The first to move was Camille.

"Why aren't you sitting with us?" Camille asked.

"I didn't think you guys would mind, but I wanted to sit with Kendall and there was only one open seat over there," Logan said looking at her as she sat down next to him.

"You could've asked us to move," Lucy said walking over to them as well.

"What gives Kendall?" Carlos asked, "now that you're dating you're too good for us?" he asked as he sat down in front of the blonde.

"You wish," Kendall said laughing. The five started talking not paying attention to Dak or James who weren't staring at Kendall and Logan but each other. Logan made sure to introduce the girls to Carlos. They started talking while Kendall and Logan talked themselves.

-Big-Time-Rush-

James and Carlos were sitting in their morning study hall with Kendall and Logan. Kendall and Logan were sitting next to them in the two corner seats. They were in their own little world as they sat there sharing small kisses and simple words. They were oblivious to their surrounding. The teacher wasn't paying any mind to the class at all. It was a free for all.

"Quit thinking so hard," Carlos said tapping James' forehead.

"I can't help it," James said swatting at Carlos' hand.

"If you worry too much you're going to get worry lines," Carlos teased.

"Shut you're mouth," James said to Carlos who only laughed.

"What are you worrying about now?" Carlos asked in an attempt to distract him from the sickeningly cute couple beside them.

"Nothing," James said as he stood up and crossed the room. He didn't want to talk about it right now. Carlos followed him though.

"Oh no you don't," Carlos said, "tell me what's wrong," he said.

"I can't stop thinking about him Carlos," James said.

"Dak?" Carlos asked. James sighed and nodded his head. He looked down at his hands. "Maybe you should talk to him," he said.

"I can't do that," James said, "I am not gonna talk to him," he said.

"Why not?" Carlos asked.

"He's only gonna tell me what I already know," James said, "and that is that he hates me," he said. James knew Dak hated him, but he didn't want to hear the words from Dak. It would only make him even sadder than he already was. Carlos didn't say another word to James.

-Big-Time-Rush-

Logan, Camille, and Lucy were witting together at their usual lunch table.

"So how was you're date this weekend Mr. I can't call my friends and tell them," Lucy asked.

"I missed curfew and got my phone taken away," Logan said, "and it was awesome," Logan said, "we went to the ice ring and skated a bit and walked through the park after that," he said.

"How'd you miss you're curfew?" Camille asked.

"The movie we went to lasted longer than we expected," Logan said.

"It was worth it though wasn't it?" Kendall asked as he sat down next to Logan.

"Yes," Logan said turning to face him with a smile on his face. Kendall sat down next to Logan.

"So Kendall I take it you like skating?" Camille said.

"I love it," Kendall said, "I practically grew up on the ice," he said.

"Really now?" Lucy asked.

"Back off he's mine," Logan said throwing his arms around Kendall and throwing playful glares at Lucy and Camille who only laughed.

"Oh relax Logan," Camille said, "you know we'd never steal anything from you," she said. Logan laughed and shook his head.

"So, Kendall are you helping us in the auditorium today?" Lucy asked changing the subject.

"Yeah," Kendall said.

"Don't you have practice?" Logan asked.

"I still have to finish my detention," Kendall said, "and we have all week to practice, and a few days without me will do the team some good," he said.

"Kendall," Carlos said as he ran up to their table.

"What's up Litos?" Kendall asked turning to face his friend.

"Have you seen James?" Carlos asked.

"Not since this morning in homeroom," Kendall said.

"I'm worried about him man," Carlos said, "I never seen him like this before," he said.

"Like what?" Logan asked.

"He's been acting strange the last week," Carlos said, "he's been secretive and I think he's hiding something from us," he said.

"I wouldn't put it past James," Kendall said, "he's a typical guy. He doesn't like to talk about feelings and avoids them. I mean he doesn't believe in love," he said to Logan.

"He doesn't believe in love?" Logan asked shocked. Camille and Lucy's expressions were the same as Logan's.

"Nope," Kendall said.

"Why not?" Camille asked.

"James' parents got married young and divorced young," Kendall said.

"They fight all the time," Carlos said, "they can't agree on anything other than that they both love James," he said.

"Wow I did not know that," Logan said.

"Is that why he whores himself around?" Camille asked. Kendall and Carlos nodded.

"That and he used to be fat," Kendall said, "James got to a point where he didn't like himself. He dieted and exercised and when he lost the weight girls and guys just threw their selves at him. I think he's kind of sick of it now," he said.

"Wow," Logan said, "I guess you really can't judge a book by it's cover," he said.

"Something Dak needs to learn," Lucy said.

"He's realized he's judgmental," Logan said, "and that's a start," he said.

"I guess, but we still need to talk to him about it," Lucy said.

"Hello what do you think I've been trying to do," Logan said, "I spent almost the whole weekend trying to talk to him," he said.

"He'll talk when he's ready," Kendall said.

"Speaking of Dak where is he?" Logan asked looking around for his stepbrother. Camille and Lucy looked for Dak as well. He was no where to be seen.

-Big-Time-Rush-

Dak slowly made his way through the locker room and out to the practice rink. He saw James on the ice. He was in his street clothes and not wearing skates. He was just walking/sliding around. He looked up at Dak. Dak stepped out on to the ice and made his way over to James.

"You shouldn't be here," James said.

"And neither should you," Dak said looking at James. They stood there for a moment.

"What do you want from me?" James asked, "are you here to yell at me? Are you here to call me names again," he asked as he moved around Dak.

"I don't know," Dak said as he turned around with James. James stopped and looked at Dak. They stood there staring at one another. "I don't know what to think anymore. I've been told I'm a little judgmental," he said.

"A little?" James asked.

"I'm talking," Dak said.

"Sorry your highness," James said.

"It's things like that, that make me hate you," Dak pointed out. "Anyways I wanted to apologize for being a judgmental idiot, but I don't know if I want to anymore," he said.

"I'm sorry too," James said.

"I never said I was sorry," Dak said looking away for James.

"Come on Dak," James said.

"Fine, I am sorry," Dak said, "look I am not good with these kinds of things," he said.

"Admitting you were wrong?" James asked.

"I can't say I was wrong when I don't know," Dak said, "I might be wrong," he said looked at James' face. James seemed annoyed.

"Just admit it," James said, "you were wrong about me," he said.

"I can't say if I was or not I don't know you," Dak said smiling. He knew it bothered James. He liked that he could get under his skin without really trying.

"God you are so annoying," James said shaking his head.

"So are you," Dak said.

"We can't not fight can we?" James asked.

"I guess not," Dak said, "but there's something I want to know," he said.

"Oh, and what's that?" James asked.

"Why'd you kiss me?" Dak asked, "I've done nothing but yell at you and call you names," he said looking at James.

"I don't know," James said, "I guess I'm attracted to you. Is that what you want me to say," he said looking away from Dak.

"No," Dak said, "I want you to tell me the truth," he said walking over to James. They stood there staring at one another.

"I am not in love with you if that's what you're asking," James said stubbornly.

"Never said that," Dak said, "I never mentioned love," he said.

"Love isn't real," James said, "it was created for fools who want to believe their in love so they can sleep together," he said.

"Obviously you just want to sleep with people," Dak said. He looked at James waiting for him to respond.

"I don't want to sleep with you," James said looking down at Dak challengingly.

"I know, what to do to make you want to," Dak said.

"No you don't," James said looking at Dak.

"Oh but I do, moron," Dak said taking a step closer to James.

"Don't call me that," James said.

"Did I hit a nerve," Dak asked. The two stood there for a moment. "You want to kiss me now don't you?" he asked arching an eyebrow at James. James stood there and licked his lips. "You know you want to," Dak said stepping in closer, "or are you too scared to? Are you afraid of what others will thin-" James cut him off by crashing their lips together. Dak broke the kiss when the need for air was too great.

"I am not in love," James said.

"What is love, but a simple four letter word," Dak said, "besides I am not asking for that," he said looking at James.

"Then what are you asking for," James asked looking at Dak confused.

"A boyfriend," Dak said, "I mean we're attracted to each other obviously and maybe something can come of it," he said.

"I-I-" James said slowly. He shook his head and backed away.

"James you can't deny you're attracted to me," Dak said, "I can tell that you are," he said tears stinging in his eyes as he fought the urge to let them fall. He didn't want James to see him cry. James just stood there staring at Dak. He didn't know what to think. "Fine," Dak said, "maybe I was right you're nothing more than a jerk who only cares about his rep," he said as he turned and made his way off the ice.

"Dak," James said.

"No," Dak said turning around, "you've made yourself pretty clear. I get it. Your stupid rep mean more to you than anything. I never should've come here," he said.

"Dak wait," James said going after him.

"No," Dak said as he walked back to the locker room. James followed after him.

"Dak please just wait," James said as he grabbed Dak by the arm. Dak turned around to look at James. James pulled Dak in for another kiss. Dak kissed back for a second before he remembered why he had stormed away from James in the first place.

"No, just stop," Dak said, "you've made your choice and now I have to go," he said.

"Dak," James said again.

"No you hesitated, which means you were thinking about what a relationship with me would be like. You were weighing your options when you should have just said yes," Dak said. He stormed out of the locker room not hearing what James said next.

"But I think I may love you," James said to no one.
