A/N Hey hey guys. Sorry for the late update but hopefully this chapter will make up for it. I would just like to say that even though I don't reply to the reviews, I read them and they all make me smile. Seriously, you guys are great. Enough of me talking though. Here's chapter 10! =)
After the blonde was all dressed in his clean clothes, (the hospital washed them) he met Carlos outside of the room. "You ready?" asked the energetic boy.
Kendall nodded and Carlos rubbed his back. The blonde smiled and got a grin in return before the two made their way down the hallway.
As the two teens entered the lobby, Logan was thanking the woman at the desk. Kendall noticed that James was no where in sight. Kendall's chest tightened a bit but this time it wasn't only pain he was feeling. He was feeling anger towards the brunette. In all honesty, James was being a douche. An idiot.
"Kendall?" Carlos asked the lost in thought blonde. Kendall blinked and Carlos asked, "Are you okay?"
Kendall nodded and sighed, trying to smile at his concerned friends. "Let's get out of here."
Line Break
After Kendall was checked out of the hospital, the three teens made their way to the car. James was already out there leaning against the passenger's side door. He was on phone, no surprise to his friends.
Logan walked to the driver's side, unlocked the car and got in. Kendall moved to the back but Carlos stood there pouting. "James," he whined, "Why can't you sit in the backseat?"
James had the door opened and he rolled his eyes. "Because I was here first?"
"That's a crappy excuse!" Carlos stated and James huffed.
"No it's not! Just get in the back. It's just a seat."
"Guys, just get in the car. Please." Logan groaned. Kendall just rolled his eyes and tuned the bickering pair out and grabbed a water bottle he found. He didn't realize it til then, but he was dying of thirst.
"So why won't you get in the back? Like you said, it's just a seat! And I want to sit next to my boyfriend!" Carlos fumed.
Kendall started coughing the liquid back up, his face a bit red. He didn't hear Logan asking him if he was okay. His thoughts were on what Carlos just said. Boyfriend? Since when were Logan and Carlos 'boyfriends'?
Carlos and James didn't notice Kendall's choking moment. They were still in a heated argument.
" Just sit next to him later, Carlos!" James snapped and Carlos stomped his foot.
"No, just get in the back! I want to hold his hand and stuff!"
"Oh my god, Carlitos, you are acting like a damn child!" James hissed and Logan slapped his arm.
"Just sit in the back, James!" he growled.
"What? No!-"
Kendall tuned his friends' voices out. Does James just not want to sit next to me or does he really want to sit in the front? The blonde wondered, biting his lip.
Obviously, stupid.
Kendall sighed. He really wanted the voice to leave him alone and to get home. His friends were arguing over something completely childish. He also wanted to bash James' head in a wall.
He didn't know why, but he really really wanted to. The brunette was making him a slight bit crazy. About everything. Besides bashing the pretty boy's head in a wall, he would like to talk to him. Maybe make him realize that, well, Kendall was NOT a cheater and that he was well over Jo Taylor.
Realizing that they'd been in the hospital's parking lot for now almost five minutes, arguing over a seat, the blonde decided to cut in. "Carlos. Come sit back here with me. We can play the alphabet game. Or you can pretend that I'm Logan and hold my hand."
The three other boys stopped and stared at the blonde. Kendall was only looking at Carlos, giving the frowning boy a small smile.
James was staring at Kendall with a blank expression on his face and Logan was just hoping that Kendall was kidding about Carlos holding his hand.
"What's the alphabet game?" the Latino asked, his head slightly tilted to the side.
"How can you not know the alphabet game?" James asked in a snide tone of voice.
"Shut up, James." Kendall snapped, surprising the three boys again. "Come on back here Carlos and I'll teach you. It's pretty simple."
Carlos moved to the back and James sat down in the passenger's seat. Kendall had never used that tone of voice. Ever. Especially not with James. He was still a bit taken back when Logan pulled out the parking lot.
The whole car ride back to the Palm Woods, Kendall and Carlos were on the lookout for letters in the alphabet, both intent on beating the other. Logan was pleased to see that there was no hand holding between the two.
Logan would smile whenever Carlos would yell out that he found a word and would be so excited moving on to the next.
James was quiet the whole ride back to the Palm Woods, ignoring the texts he received from Bri.
Line Break
"Okay," Logan said as he unbuckled his seatbelt. "No one goes anywhere until we've settled this whole... situation." he glanced in the rearview mirror at his blonde friend.
"Logan, it's fine. I won't-" Kendall started but Logan interrupted.
"No. We are talking about this. End of discussion. Now, let's go." the smart boy hopped out the car and opened the door for his boyfriend.
"Thanks, Logie." Carlos pecked Logan on the cheek and took his hand. Kendall stared, very much in shock.
What? He did NOT see this coming.
"Are you guys coming?" Carlos asked.
"Uh, after we're done talking about me, let us talk about you two." Kendall said and got out. Logan blushed but Carlos raised an eyebrow.
"What about us?"
"Since when are you two together? There's a story behind it, and I wanna know." the blonde said as he opened James' door. "Are you ready?"
James was quiet when he stood up and looked down at Kendall. Said boy swallowed, a bit off guard of the closeness of the other boy. In fact, James was so close that Kendall could see little speckles of gold in the gorgeous boy's hazel eyes.
"Yeah. I am." James finally said and leaned forward, his lips brushing against Kendall's ear. "But are you?" he whispered.
Kendall shivered at the warm breath on his ear. It's been awhile since James had been that close to him and his heart clenched, realizing how much he missed it.
James had pulled away and walked away, ignoring Logan and Carlos' looks.
"Are you okay, Kendall?" Carlos asked and Kendall nodded silently. He was such a liar.
Kendall was not okay. At all. Not only did he miss James like crazy, but now he was thinking about what the brunette had said.
Was he ready? Was he ready to tell his friends that yes he had been trying to kill himself, that he had a crazy voice in his head? Was he ready to tell them that the crazy voice told him to kill himself? They'd think he'd gone nuts.
In the elevator, Kendall's heart pounded in his chest. He wasn't ready. He just wasn't. He didn't want his friends to know. The whole situation was embarrassing. He felt ashamed and weak and- oh god. They're on their floor.
His friends -Kendall really doesn't know if that applies for James well- stepped out of the elevator, but he stayed in.
"Kendall, you coming?" Carlos asked, concern lacing in his voice.
"Y-yeah." once again, the blonde lied. As they walked to 2J, Kendall reassured himself. Or at least tried to.
These are your friends. And James. They won't judge you- ah who am I kidding? They'll want me to go to therapy and get 'help'. They'll think I'm crazy, bonkers. Oh my god. What will mom have to say about this? She's going to find out, one way or the other because of the bill- oh GOD, we're here. I can't do this- Kendall Knight, don't say can't- Ah Jesus, I'm going to-
"Kendall? Kendall!" Carlos and Logan rushed to the collapsed blonde and tried helping him up. James had the door unlocked and open but now his attention was on Kendall, who seemed to have blacked out.
"James-" Logan grunted as he heaved the dead weight of his friend up. Carlos was helping but the small boy was starting to freak out. "A little help, please."
James walked forward and picked the unconscious boy up into his arms and kicked the door open all the way.
Logan and Carlos were right behind him, Carlos closing and locking the door up behind him while Logan was spitting out intructions for James.
"He needs to go on the couch and water. Definitely water." the young doctor in training said and James set the unconscious boy on the neon orange colored couch before heading to the kitchen for the water.
When James got the water, in the living room, Kendall was already stirring awake.
Carlos was kneeling on the floor in front of the couch and the blonde, a look of worry all over his face. James walked back into the room and handed Logan the glass of water.
"Open up, Kendall." Logan said softly while pressing the edge of the glass to Kendall's mouth. The boy did open up and the water drizzled down his throat. Logan pulled the cup away and set it on the table.
"He'll be alright, right?" James asked, his hazel eyes trained on the pale looking blonde.
Logan nodded. "Yeah. Hey buddy?" he gently took a hold of Kendall's arm and shook it. "Don't do that again, alright?"
Kendall squinted his eyes open and he hoarsly replied, "'Kay."
"We're going to let you rest a bit, you look pale and-"
"Gross." Carlos helpfully supplied. Kendall made a face while Logan patted his arm. It was kind of true though. The blonde looked really bad all of the sudden. His blonde hair was sweaty and matted to his forhead. His skin was pale and his whole body was shiny with sweat.
Not to mention that he felt sick. Like he might have to vomit.
"Just get some rest, and we'll talk later. And I'm serious when I say later." Logan stood up. "There's water for you on the table if you want it."
"Okay." Kendall closed his eyes, the light hurting them a bit. Carlos followed his boyfriend to his room while James stayed in the living room.
Even though Kendall's eyes were shut, the boy sensed that someone -James- was still in the room. James knew that Kendall knew that he was there still, but he didn't care really.
James sat down on the end of the couch and sighed. Kendall tensed up but didn't open his eyes. The brunette was racking his brain to figure out what to say, because really, how can you talk to someone you've dumped and have treated like crap for the past week or so?
Yeah, not that easy.
Why bother? He's probably acting so he doesn't have to tell you guys anything. Not that you'd care.
I do care-
No you don't. You don't care about anything for Kendall. He cheated on you with his ex-girlfriend. You saw that with your own eyes. They were kissing and he was probably enjoying every minute of it.
James glanced at the still blonde. Kendall was kissing Jo, but when James walked in, it didn't quite seem that Kendall had been enjoying it...
James shook his head, his stare turning into a glare. What was he thinking? Kendall still kissed Jo. James saw that with his own eyes, just like
his voice said. Anger boiled in the pit of this stomache. One, because he was remembering Kendall's hands on Jo's waist and two, the voice
was probably right about Kendall acting like he's sick so he won't talk to them.
James stood up and texted Bri, saying that he'd be over at her place in a few minutes. At this point, the brunette doesn't care about the blonde. At all. If Kendall wants to get back with Jo, then by all means, go ahead. If Kendall wants to stay hung up over James, by all means, go ahead, even though it's pathetic.
And if Kendall wants to kill himself? By all means go ahead.
...Okay. James wasn't sure if he- No, he's definitely sure that he doesn't want the blonde moron killing himself.
That's just not okay, James thought.
But if Kendall was doing all of this for attention, especially James', then he's got another thought coming. Because everyone should know that if you're a cheater, then you don't get a second chance.
James opened the front door and closed it, immediately making his way, not to the elevators, but to the stairs.
It's simple, really. If you cheat, bye bye.
It's his own fault anyways. He should have thought before he sucked lips with that bitch. He should have known the consequence. He should have known better and now he's acting all mopey and shit.
The brunette knocked on Bri's door.
If you're a cheater, you're a cheater. And cheaters don't get second chances.
That was the last thought James had before the door opened and small hands grabbed at his shirt, yanking him into the apartment.
A/N There you go! Hope you guys liked it and again, sorry for the late update!
