Logan was silent the entire ride back to Kendall's house.

"You okay?"

"No." Kendall pulled the car into his driveway and parked. He sat back and looked over at Logan, hoping he would take that as a signal to start talking. "I just didn't think I would end up being the one that felt like shit."

"You'll be fine. Both of you. You'll move on and forget about each other before you know it."

"I guess so." Logan slouched in the seat before unbuckling his seatbelt.

Logan wasn't as excited to go to the library anymore. When he did go, he rarely saw James. A glimpse of him behind a shelf every now and then, but he made a conscious effort to avoid Logan like the plague. Logan meandered through the poetry section, skimming through book after book. From Shakespeare to Poe to Tennyson and everything in between.

"Thoreau?" Logan turned to see James stacking books on a nearby shelf. "Heavy stuff for a high schooler."

"James-"

"Don't." Logan's eyebrows furrowed. Don't what? You're the one talking to me. "You were about to apologize or try to assess our...situation."

"I wasn't." I was.

"You were." James smiled and placed the last book on the shelf. "I know you pretty well, Logie-I mean Logan."

"So maybe I was. I miss you, James"

"You break up with me, then you want me back? I don't get it."

"I never said I wanted a relationship, I just miss being around you."

"Well, thanks but no thanks. I don't really hang out with under eighteens." James turned the corner and walked away. Way to go, Logan. You set yourself up for that one. Before Logan could turn to leave, James' head appeared from behind the shelf. "I could make an exception for one really cool one, though." Logan could feel the blush creeping up onto his cheeks.

"He must be pretty cool then." James smiled and continued on his original path.

"So, you're friends now?" Carlos sat beside Logan and started unpacking his lunch.

"Yeah. It'll be pretty useful to have a friend with his own place."

"I bet." Logan looked up and saw Kendall waiting in line for his food. He waved and stuck his tongue out at Logan, making Logan burst into giggles. "So, now that you're single are you finally gonna..." Carlos nodded his head in Kendall's direction.

"Am I going to what?"

"You know." Logan shook his head and Carlos sighed. "Logan, you're not really that oblivious are you? Kendall loves you, man. He's like, fully beanie over Vans for you, dude."

"You can't be serious?"

"I'm dead serious. Why do you think he hated James so much? He really likes you. I haven't seen him get like this over anyone since Jett. And don't lie, I know you like him too. I may be stupid, but I'm not stupid."

Kendall couldn't be in love with him. They were just friends. Logan knew the difference between his innermost wishes and reality. Kendall sat down and set his tray down on the table, pulling Logan from his thoughts.

"Why are you guys so quiet?"

"You know what, guys?" Carlos stopped in the doorway and pulled out his cell phone. "My mom said she needs my help at the store tonight, so I can't come to movie night. It'll be at my place next week, I promise." He leaned over and patted Logan on the shoulder. "Have fun, you two."

"Carlos has been acting really weird lately. Has he said anything?" Kendall placed the popcorn down on the table and sat on the floor next to Logan.

"Nothing really. Just that-Nevermind."

"No, what is it?" Logan looked over at Kendall and laughed.

"He told me that you were in love with me." Kendall's smile faded and he jumped up from his seat.

"I'm going to kill him."

"What? Why?"

"Because I told him that I'd kill him if he told anyone. I swear that kid's mouth is as big as his head."

"S-so it's true?" Kendall sighed and sat on the couch behind Logan.

"Well, I'm not in love with you. That'd be weird. I just like you, that's all."

"You like me?" Logan pulled himself up onto the couch. "When did this-"

"When I first met you? When we started hanging out? When we kissed? I really don't know." Logan blew out the breath he'd been holding in and looked down at his hands. "This is making things weird, isn't it?"

"Not at all. I'm just not really good at making the first move." Kendall laughed. Logan took that opportunity to place a hand on the back of his neck and pull him close, connecting their lips in a slow kiss. It was similar to the kiss they'd shared a few months back, but something was different now. Everything was different now.

Epilogue will be coming up next. It's mostly in Kendall's POV. Reviews? :)-
