Logan's P.O.V

An ear splitting scream was snatched by the greedy glass like claws of the hybrid zombie, before the sound could bounce off the bleach white sound proof walls. The white walls were replaced by words accrediting the people involved in the making of the horror movie.

"Wow" Jazz said. All I could do was nod my head. Now don't get me wrong I love horror movies, but the one thing I can't stand is zombies. They just really freak me out and not to mention they're really disgusting.

"It was amazing, right?" she asked sounding actually excited.

"Please" I said making a noise "It was so boring" I lied. I could still see the splashes of crimson against the walls.

"What?" she said surprised "You must be crazy"

"It wasn't even scary. Talk about a letdown"

"Yeah right, you were so scared"

"No I wasn't" I argued "I wasn't even remotely scared"

"Whatever" she said as she got up from her seat next to me and headed towards the kitchen to sulk.

"Jazz, seriously?" I asked, but she said nothing, choosing to leave me in silence.

"Jazz?" I called out after a few minutes had passed. There was still no answer. I reluctantly got off the couch and walked to the kitchen.

"Jazz?" I called once again, this time a little softer and with a lot more fear in my voice. I heard noises emanating from behind the door and I was convinced, she was a zombie.

The room was completely dark except for the sickly light coming from the television. I grabbed a hockey stick that was close to the kitchen door. I remember Jazz said she kept it there for emergencies. This seems like an emergency, she's trying to eat my brains!

"Ja-" I said with the hockey stick in my right hand and pushing the kitchen door open with my left, when suddenly the door opened. I let out an unmanly scream before whacking Jazz on her head causing her to drop the popcorn.

"What th- Ouch!" Jazz said rubbing her head. She looked at me and I smiled innocently.

"Sorry?" I asked apologetically, not placing the hockey stick on the ground. I'm not taking any chances.

"Not even remotely scared, huh?" she mocked. I could hear she wasn't angry, but she didn't appreciate being whacked, who would? I placed the hockey stick down once I realized I was acting crazy.

"Ok, fine" I admitted "Maybe it was a tiny bit scary" I said describing how little with the space between my thumb and index fingers. She raised an eyebrow in challenge "Ok" I sighed "A lot scary" I said looking down. She laughed and sat down on the couch patting the seat next to her. I slowly walked towards her.

"Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about James"

That name stopped me right in my tracks, momentarily catching me off guard. Suddenly images of his face flooded my mind, his amazing smile, and his gorgeous hazel eyes. It has been hours since we came from the beach and started watching movies, four hours to be exact. The first time James wasn't on my mind.

"Its fine, leave it, I'll clean it up later" Jazz said pulling me away from James' eyes. I looked up at her confused and she motioned towards the mess of popcorn on the floor. I silently walked towards the couch and sat down next to her.

"Do you really think James likes me?" I asked.

"What?" Emily asked surprised at my sudden question.

"On the beach earlier today you said James shares my feelings. Do you really think so? And if so, what about Camille?"

"I know he does" she smiled "He was just using Camille to get back at you"

"Get back at me for what?"

"Logan" she sighed "How would you feel if you and James kissed, and suddenly a hot girl, that you didn't know, whisked him away from you?"

"Ok, I get that, but-"

"How would you feel?"

"I would feel" I sighed in realization "Betrayed"

"Exactly, that's how he felt. I don't condone how he dealt with it, but I guess that's how we learnt to deal with betrayal from our mom, revenge"

"I guess I never thought of it like that. I'm an idiot" I said placing my head in my hands.

"We share that trait" I lifted my head and looked at her confused "I might have challenged James to a fight for you" she said innocently.

"What?"

"You see, that night when I came over for the first time and you told me everything, you fell asleep talking about him and I felt bad for you. James came in and I decided to mess with him a little, because he hurt you. I didn't think he would take it so seriously"

"Ok, so you messed with him" I said after processing it "But why did he take it so seriously?"

"Well back in Minnesota it was obvious to everyone that I had a huge crush on you" I looked at her amazed "Ok, everyone but you. I think the only reason you tolerated me was because I was James' sister, but after that time I saved your butt from getting beaten up..."

I opened up my mouth to protest when she lifted her hand to stop me and continued speaking.

"... We spent a lot of time together and James was jealous, but I didn't care I loved spending time with you and I thought maybe you felt the same. When you told me of your feelings for James my heart broke. I was happy for you and James, but I couldn't help feeling heartbroken. That's why I left, I left to get over you and I did. I also found a few things out about myself; like that I'm actually a good actress. I was top of my acting class at private school. I think that's why he took it so seriously, because I was so convincing"

"Wow" I said processing everything. Jazz challenged James to a fight for me. She had a crush on me. She's a good actor. Am I forgetting anything? Oh, right, James liked me back then. Wow. "I'm sorry, I had no idea you liked me" I said.

"It's cool, I'm over it"

"We are both idiots"

"Yeah, but I think I might have a plan. First though you are going to spend the night and then tomorrow you going to get your man. Understood?" she asked sternly.

"Ma'am yes ma'am" I said puffing out my chest. We both started laughing "Ok, ok" I said clutching my stomach "I better let Mrs. Knight know I'm spending the night" She nodded in agreement.

I took my cell phone out of my pocket and dialled Mrs. Knight's number. I placed my cell phone to my ear and heard it ringing.

"Hello?" Mrs. Knight answered.


James' P.O.V

"Do you really think that would work?" Kendall asked after I told them my plan. We were all gathered around the dinner table.

"I don't know, but I have to try something" I answered.

"I think it's a great idea, James" Carlos said "It's so romantic" he said nudging Kendall.

"Hey" Kendall said defensively "I'm romantic"

"Yeah, sure you are" Carlos said sarcastically, which caused Kendall to pout "You know I love you"
"I don't know if I can love someone so mean" Kendall answered, turning his head away from Carlos. It would have seemed as if he was angry at Carlos if it wasn't for the smile plastered on his face.

"Oh, is that so" Carlos challenged, getting up from his chair and positioned himself behind Kendall.

"So..." he said draping himself behind Kendall with arms hanging over his shoulders. Carlos unbuttoned Kendall's top button, put his hand in and placed it on Kendall's heart. He put his mouth close to Kendall's ear and breathed deeply. Kendall let out a shaky breath before biting his lip, trying to silence it, but it was too late.

With his hand still over Kendall's heart, Carlos used his other hand to play with the hem of Kendall's shirt. He then licked Kendall's earlobe and blew on it. Kendall shuddered, biting his lip so hard it looked painful.

"...Do you love me now?" Carlos whispered seductively.

"God, yes" Kendall said, his resolve broken. He grabbed Carlos' neck and brought him down to meet him in a greedy lust filled kiss.

"Guys" I said interrupting the moment "Will you help me out so I can kiss Logan like that?" I pleaded desperately.

"Well" Kendall said, being the first to catch his breath "It's very romantic and all, the picnic in the park, but how do we fit into the plan?" Carlos nodded in agreement to the question, needing a little more time to catch his breath.

"I need you guys to trick Logan into coming to the park, because I doubt he'll come if I asked"

"So you want use to deceive him?" Kendall asked raising an eyebrow.

"When you put-" I was interrupted by the front door opening. I found myself hoping it was Logan, because it's been to long since I saw his cute dimples framing that beautiful smile. It wasn't Logan; it was Mrs. Knight and Katie.

"Boys, a little help" Mrs. Knight said. That's when I noticed the grocery bags.

"Sorry" I said rushing towards Mrs. Knight and helping her. Carlos and Kendall followed helping Katie. While packing out the groceries I noticed Mrs. Knight bought take out.

"Is something the matter, James?" Mrs. Knight asked.

"Well, Logan's not home yet and I was just thinking, isn't the food to little?"

"That's sweet of you to think of Logan, but he's staying at a friends' house"

"Oh" I said a little disappointed. I really miss his smile. He must be staying with Emily.

"You don't have to worry, James, I'm sure Logan can take care of himself. And last time I checked Jazz is quite responsible"

"Jazz?" I asked shocked. Am I too late?

"Yes, he called me earlier. He said he will be back tomorrow morning"

I looked over at Carlos and Kendall, and they both looked like I felt, afraid. We sat on the couch.

"Guys, I'm..."

"Not giving up" Carlos said, interrupting me "I'm sure there's a good explanation. Let's just move your picnic up to tomorrow"

"But what if..."

"Have faith in my boyfriend" Kendall said interrupting me this time.

"It's about time" Katie said, making me jump.

"Excuse me?" Kendall said.

"Well, you and Carlos, duh, it's about time you guys got together"

"How did you know?" Carlos asked.

"It's kind of obvious. Speaking of" She said turning towards me "When are you and Logan going to get together?" My eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"What?" I asked.

"Really guys" she said rolling her guys, as if she was bored with the subject "Haven't you learnt buy now, I know everything"

"Does mom know?" Kendall asked.

"I don't think so. If she does she hasn't mentioned it before. So why should James have faith in Carlos? What are you guys up to?" She asked her eyes narrowing in suspicion.

"A plan to make Logan mine" I said.

"Great. I want in"

"What?" I asked.

"Well, I can't have you messing up this plan so I'm going to help. What is the plan, by the way?"

"James is going to surprise Logan with a romantic picnic in the park" Carlos said, smiling and looking into the distance as if he could see the whole scene playing out.

"Nice" Katie said nodding "I guess then you won't need my help, but if you do just call" she said getting up.

"Katie, you won't tell mom, right?" Kendall asked. I could see the hurt in Carlos' eyes when he asked.

"No, of course not, you will tell mom when you're ready" She said walking away.

"I'm not feeling well, I'm going to bed" Carlos said getting up "Let Mrs. Knight know"

"Sure" Kendall answered "Is everything ok, babe?" he asked worry evident in his voice.

"Yeah, it's just a headache" Carlos replied giving a sad smile, before going to his room.

Poor Carlos, I can tell he thinks Kendall is ashamed of him. I should go speak to him.

"So then, the picnic is tomorrow, right?" I asked Kendall.

"Yup" he answered.

"Great. I'll be right back" I said getting up and headed to the bathroom, when Kendall wasn't looking I made a u-turn for Carlos' room "Hey, Carlos, it's James. Open up" I said knocking.

"I'm fine" Carlos answered. I could hear he was on the verge of crying.

"Carlos, buddy, you know that Kendall isn't ashamed of you, right? He's just afraid of what his mom might think"

"I know" he responded and this time I could hear the tears in his voice.

"If you ever need to talk, I'm here for you buddy"

"I know" He repeated. I sighed in defeat and went to get things ready for the picnic tomorrow. By this time tomorrow Logan and I will be cuddling on the couch watching a movie, and I'll be sneaking kisses in until he gives in and then we will just forget about the movie and make out. I hope. I felt bad, here I am thinking of Logan and me making out when Carlos is hurting. Should I do something more? What else can I do? I tried to speak to him, but he just pushed me away. What else can I do?


A/N: And that's there end of chapter 9. I know I should be studying, but I am on a little break so I decided to write. I'm sorry guys if this chapter is a little drama-less. Please, I would really appreciate it if you would review just so I know there are still people reading out there. Tell me what you think of the chapter, what you think of the story so far, if you enjoy it or hate it. And yes, zombies to creep me out.
