ONE NIGHT IN BALI
Chapter 11 – Everything Has Changed
As Logan begins to lightly snore as the brunette falls back into a light sleep in Kendall's arms, the blonde strokes his brunette's head and back like a cat, occasionally giving Logan a kiss at the top of his head.
Kendall then rests his head on the sleeping brunette's head as he looks at the morning sunlight trying to pierce through the curtains of their Singapore apartment.
And lyrics from one of Kendall's songs gently breeze through his mind…
Everything has changed since I met you…
My heart was broken…
Hope was overdue…
Running empty…
Running out of time…
Thought I lost my mind…
But everything has changed since I met you…
Kendall's eyes start to brim with tears as he remembers how they met each other.
It was that one time while he was playing a song on his guitar, and he hears someone singing along… And he looks around, and finally finds the source of the voice. He befriends the guy, and finds out that the guy's name was Logan…
And they became friends… then good friends… then best friends… They even became acting colleagues and bandmates when Logan recommended him to try again to audition for Big Time Rush, and finally gets the role on his second attempt.
Kendall finally got another break, aside from his Heffron Drive band, thanks to his good friend, Logan…
Nothing is the same since I met you…
My heart sometimes is easy to get due…
With shadows of the past disturb my night…
Make them run and hide…
Cause nothing is the same since I met you…
Tears begin to flow again as Kendall relishes the transition of the way his mind and heart view Logan… Logan is not just his best friend anymore. He thinks he's in love with his brunette best friend.
And what further fueled the transcendence of his feelings was the way their friendship started. He was on his guitar, and some random dude started singing in the background. And it aroused his curiosity and he was determined to find out whose voice it was, and who the person was. It was like Fate has made their paths cross. And as Kendall accepts what his mind and heart tell him, that he is in love with Logan, he wished to tell this to his best friend, but was at first afraid to do so…
Here and now…
Just hear me out…
Through fear and doubt…
I'd never let you down…
Through thick and thin. Through the joys and challenges of their career in the show and the band, Kendall and Logan stayed close to each other. They helped each other in times of need. They enjoyed each other's company in times of fun.
And as years went by, more challenges faced the two… The Big Time Rush TV series has finally come to an end, and they are at a limbo about their label's decision on the fate of the band. Logan redirects his focus to acting so that his career would continue. Kendall revives his band, Heffron Drive. Logan seems to have upcoming new projects, and Kendall enjoys the successes of his new album and his tour.
And, as best friends, they decide to celebrate by going on their Singapore and Indonesia vacation together.
At the back of their minds, each boy is hoping that this vacation would also be a chance for them to be totally honest with each other, and hope for the best: that they move up from their friendship into a more intimate relationship.
When Logan finally had the courage to make the first move, Kendall's hopes were finally vindicated. Despite the initial fear in Logan's eyes and mind, thinking that Kendall will not reciprocate the kiss, the clouds of fear in the brunette's mind are finally blown away when Kendall gave him a kiss back…
Everything has changed since I kissed you…
I never thought the love could be this true…
When I thought that feeling couldn't last…
When you kissed me back…
Cause everything has changed since I kissed you…
Kendall, realising that the songs he and Logan wrote are finally turning into reality, suddenly becomes overwhelmed with emotions as he begins sobbing loudly. Here he is, in Singapore, with his boyfriend, the love of his life - Logan.
Against all odds, all their doubts and fears have finally been erased.
No more secrets.
No more hopeful wishing.
Just pure truth… that they love each other.
Everything has changed, indeed.
Kendall now cries loudly, with his entire body shaking during sobs. This awakens the lightly-sleeping brunette underneath Kendall. Logan then leans back to look at his boyfriend. The blonde's eyes are closed shut, but tears are still streaming out from his eyes. Kendall's mouth is biting his lips firmly as the blonde tries to stifle his cries.
Logan panicks as he sees Kendall crying.
"Kindle! What's wrong? Why are you crying? Is everything okay?"
Kendall opens his eyes to look at his Logan. His green irises surrounded by red as tears still fall down. Some of the tears drip unto Logan's cheeks and nose. Kendall then lets out a bright smile.
Logan becomes more confused. His boyfriend is crying and yet he's smiling at him.
"Kindle! What's wrong? What happened?"
"Logie, I'm so sorry if I woke you up, and I'm so sorry if I scared you. It's nothing. I am just thinking about how lucky I am to have met you years ago, how lucky I am to be friends with you, and how lucky I am now to be with you. I'm just so happy at how things have changed and how things turned out in the end… I love you, Logie. I really do…"
"Kindle… I really love you too…"
Logan starts to tear up, but manages to smile. He then leans up to kiss Kendall.
As they part from their kiss, Kendall and Logan smile at each other as they embrace each other more tightly.
And Kendall sings the last two lines of that song to his boyfriend, his voice still flawless despite the sobbing…
"Everything has changed since I met you…
And I hoped that I have changed your whole world too…"
To be continued... :)
