Figure It Out

I let out a shaky breath as I stood in the school parking lot, staring at the entrance.

It was finally here, senior year. And although this definitely wasn't the way I wanted to start it off, I had to admit that part of me was kind of excited.

I stared at the entrance for a while before heading towards it, brushing off the nervousness that I felt. But before I could get too far, a voice stopped me.

"James! Wait up!"

I turned around at the sound of Kendall's voice, a smile forming on my face at the sight of the blonde running to catch up with me.

"Hey." I said softly once he had caught up.

"Hey." He said, giving me a smile before turning his attention back to the school. "I can't believe this is our last year here." He said, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"I know what you mean." I said as I glanced around absentmindedly.

"Come on." He said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder as we started heading towards the school entrance.

"You know, I thought that Logan and I would walk through these doors together. Thought that we would experience our senior year together. Then when it came time for college we would go our separate ways, but our love would be strong enough to survive." I said casually as we walked through the entrance, ignoring the slight pang in my chest as well as the look Kendall was giving me.

"You had everything thought out didn't you?" He asked, although there was something that I couldn't quite place in his voice.

"Not everything. I just… had this idea. I guess it was more of a fantasy. Everything was going so well and-"

"Hey." Kendall said, cutting me off in the process as he turned me to face him. "None of that. Okay? This is the first day of senior year! You're supposed to be happy, living it up! Now I know that you're still upset over Logan, but just… try to have some fun. For me?" He said, giving me a hopeful look.

I stayed silent for a few seconds, pondering over his words for a moment.

Sure, I was still upset over Logan, but I was more upset with myself because I couldn't move on. There was a huge part of me that just wanted to sit down with Logan and talk things out, but there was also a small part to me that just knew it would probably only bring me more pain in the long run.

It was in that moment that I decided that I was done. I had been moping around for too long, it was time that I finally got over Logan. And I would do whatever it took to do it.

"Fine." I said firmly before walking again, Kendall following close behind me.

"I'm serious Jay." Kendall said from behind me.

"So am I." I said, choosing my words carefully before continuing. "I'm done moping around and feeling like this. I'm done beating myself up over someone who broke my heart." I said, starting to feel a little empowered.

But that feeling of empowerment was short lived as Kendall and I turned a corner, coming face to face with Carlos and Logan.

I felt my heartbeat skip a beat as I locked eyes with Logan for the first time since the night of the senior party.

"Hey guys." Logan said, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had fallen over the four of us.

"Hey." I said softly.

"Um… can we talk?" Logan asked me, sounding a little nervous to hear the answer.

"Sure." I said, ignoring the looks that both Kendall and Carlos were giving me, keeping my focus on Logan.

"R-really?" He asked, his eyes widened in shock.

"Really." I said, getting ready to say more until the ringing of the bell suddenly cut me off, signaling that it was time to head to class. "We'll talk at lunch." I assured him, watching as he quickly nodded his head in agreement.

"Sounds great." He said, a small smile forming on his face. "I'll see you at lunch." He added before heading to class, Carlos giving me a wave before following Logan.

"What was that?!" Kendall exclaimed as soon as both Carlos and Logan were gone.

"What was what?" I asked casually as I started back walking, even though I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"That whole thing with Logan! You're seriously going to let him back in after what he did to you?" He asked incredulously.

"It's not like I'm getting back together with him. He deserves a chance Kendall. Besides, maybe talking to him is just what I need to get over him." I said, even though I knew that I was just fooling myself.

I knew that I would probably never truly get over him, but maybe I could at least move on. And that's exactly what I was planning to do.

XxX

"I still think this is a bad idea." Kendall muttered as we made our way to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Why are you so against me working things out with Logan?" I asked, the words coming out harsher than I intended. I was just frustrated.

I had a few classes with Kendall, and in every class he had tried talking me out of patching things up with Logan.

I could tell my question had caught him off guard by the look on his face, but I wasn't backing down.

"I just… I don't want you to get hurt." He said as we walked into the cafeteria. "You've been miserable for most of the summer, and now you're finally starting to get back to your old self." He explained.

And although I could tell that he was genuinely worried about me getting hurt, I could also tell that there was something that he wasn't telling me. But before I had a chance to say something, a voice stopped me.

"Hey guys." Logan said.

"Hey." I said, giving Kendall a nudge when he didn't say anything.

"Hey." He muttered, making me roll my eyes.

"Where's Carlos?" I asked, noticing that he was missing.

"He's in line getting food." Logan replied, making me chuckle a little.

"Typical Carlos. Hey Kendall, why don't you go find us all a table. We'll be there in a few minutes." I said, inwardly smirking at the way his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Fine." He said, giving me one last look before heading off to find a table.

"What's up with Kendall?" Logan asked as we started walking, heading to a secluded corner so that we would have a little privacy.

"Nothing. He's just in one of his moods." I said, making Logan laugh lightly.

I didn't miss the way my heart still fluttered at the sound of his laugh, but did my best to ignore it.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked casually as we sat down in an empty corner.

"Well… I kinda wanted to talk about us." He said, his words making me a little nervous.

"Oh…" I said dumbly, not able to think of anything else to say at the moment.

"Look, I know that I hurt you. And it was the biggest mistake of my life. I need you to believe me when I say that I didn't break up with you just to hurt you." He said, shocking for a second at his change in demeanor. But I quickly recovered.

"I believe you." I said honestly. I knew that wasn't the type of person Logan was. He didn't do things to hurt people. But there was still a question that I needed answered. "I know that you didn't break up with me just to hurt me. But why did you break up with me?" I asked.

"It's a long story that I promise to tell you soon. But for right now, I just… I'd really like it if we could get back to being friends at least." He said, hope evident in his voice. "Do you think there's a chance for that?" He asked hopefully.

"Of course." I said immediately before pulling him into a hug, which he quickly returned. "You're one of the most important people in my life Logan. I'm not going to shut you out of my life." I whispered, knowing that even though he had really hurt me, I didn't want to just kick him out of my life.

"Thanks Jay." He said softly, as we broke the hug.

"Hey, what are friends for?" I said, making smiles form on both of our faces.

We sat there in a comfortable silence for a couple of minutes before I finally spoke up.

"We should probably get our food and find Kendall and Carlos." I said as I stood up with Logan following suit.

After we got our food, it didn't take us long to find the table that Kendall had chosen for us to sit at. But as we took a seat, I couldn't help but notice the tension between both Carlos and Kendall.

"Uh, is everything oaky?" I asked hesitantly, looking between the two.

"Everything's fine. " Carlos said, turning his attention to his food.

"Yeah, everything's just peachy." Kendall muttered, picking at the food at his plate.

I glanced over at Logan, silently asking if he knew what was going on. But I could tell from the look on his face that he was just as confused as I was.

'Well this is going to be an awkward lunch.' I thought to myself.

"Carlos! Wait up!" I yelled as I ran out of the cafeteria.

"Hey Logan! How'd it go with James?" He asked excitedly once I had caught up with him, a big smile plastered on his face.

"It went well. I just… I don't feel comfortable doing this." I said softly.

"What do you mean?" He asked, looking a little confused.

"This whole plan! It's not right. James is trusting me and I feel like I'm lying to him." I said, the guilt only worsening as I said the words out loud.

"Don't tell me you're backing out." He groaned. "It's simple! You two start out as friends, then James will realize how much he misses you and that he still loves you!" He explained.

"I'm not doing this Carlos. I appreciate your help. I really do. But if I'm going to get James back, then I'm going to do it my way. Which means being honest with him." I said firmly, not missing the shocked look on Carlos' face. "I've already hurt him once 'Los. I'm not going to risk it again by lying to him." I added, his expression turning into one of understanding.

"You're right." He said, before letting out a sigh.

"Of course I am. I'm Logan." I joked, smiling a little as Carlos laughed.

As we started walking, I figured now was a good time to ask him the question that had been bugging me since James and I first got to the table.

"So what's going on between you and Kendall?" I asked, immediately noticing the way he tensed up at the question.

"Nothing's wrong." He said, but it was clearly a lie.

"Carlos." I said in a warning tone.

"Oh, look at the time! Gotta get to class! Later Loges!" He said before running off, leaving me standing there in confusion.

Done! So I have mixed feelings about this chapter, but I hope you all liked it. So James is closer to finding out about Kendall's feeling for him, while he and Logan have finally noticed that something going on with Kendall and Carlos! And Logan finally decided to just be honest with James.

So what'd you all think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on everything! :)

I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up, but I'm hoping to have it up by next week!

Until next time!
