"Did you go and see James?" Mrs. Knight asked and smiled a bit when the three boys came home. Kendall nodded happily and smiled. "How was he?"
"He's fine. The doctors said that he's doing really well." Kendall announced proudly. Logan rolled his eyes and faked a yawn.
"Hmm... I think I might go and take a nap." he said. "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency." He said and stretched his arms before going into his bedroom.
"Logan!" Kendall called and the called upon boy turned around. "Sleep tight!" Kendall continued and smiled childishly while waving. Logan blinked a few times before waving back and then going into his bedroom and closing the door.
Kendall flopped down on the bright orange couch in the living room with Carlos by his side. "Kendall, when can James come home?" He asked and looked up at the blond leader. "Soon? Because I really miss him." Kendall, that was unusually cheery, smiled.
"I bet he'll be home soon. Some weird drugs won't stop James Diamond." He said and patted the shorter boy on the head.
"And when will Logan be happy again?" Carlos asked. Genuinely worried. Kendall gulped. "I thought you were going to talk to him." Kendall nodded slowly.
"I-I did." He mumbled. "We did talk, when you had gone to sleep." He explained. The latino nodded but kept looking up at Kendall, like he wanted more information. "Logan and I... kind of fought..." Kendall revealed. "And... I think that... I might have hurt his feelings."
"Why did you do that?" Carlos asked. Kendall frowned. "You know that Logan is kind of... sensitive." Carlos added in a whisper. Kendall felt guilty and sighed a bit, blushing.
"Don't tell anyone." He whispered. "But... Logan likes me." He whispered and glanced over to the closed bedroom door.
"Oooh..." Carlos mumbled quietly. "But I like you too." He said and looked confused. Kendall resisted the urge to roll his eyes and chuckle, because let's face it, Carlos is so cute and oblivious.
"No, I mean... Logan really likes me. Like, kisses and hugs and all." Kendall said and Carlos looked down and nodded slowly. Showing the blond that he understood. "And when I told him that... I don't like him back, like that, he got upset and we fought."
"Oh, I see..." The little latino said. "Then... what do we do?" He asked.
Kendall smiled. Carlos just wanted to help. He always did. He couldn't help but pull the small boy in for a big hug. "We leave Logan alone until he's calmed down and then we try our best to cheer him up. Alright?" He asked. Carlos nodded happily.
"Okay!" He chirped. "But in the mean time, can we go and get corndogs? I haven't had one in forever..." He said. Kendall hesitated, he had kind of promised Rita to stay at home. But then again, what harm could it be to just go down to the park. Not much, right?
"Sure, let's go outside." Kendall said.
Logan sulked in bed. Staring up at the ceiling and pondering. He really liked Kendall, but the blond wasn't the relation kind of guy. And like he said himself, he want pretty. You gotta be pretty to be with him.
"Mom, we're going to the park. We promise to be careful, so don't worry about us." Logan heard Kendall call, right before the sound of a door closing echoed through the apartment. Logan sat up in bed and started at his bedroom door. Kendall and Carlos went out. Even though Kendall had promised to stay at home. Jumping to his feet, Logan grabbed a sweater and pulled it over his head before hurrying after his friends.
Kendall and Carlos went to the park and found the nearest corndog stand and bought one each. They sat down but the blond had barely sat down before he spotted the little girl he had seen a few days earlier.
"Heidi!" He called and waved. "Heidi, over here!" He called and lit up when the little girl skipped their way. "Hi!" He chirped.
"Hi, Kendall." The girl squealed and looked at Carlos with excited eyes. "Hi, Carlos!" She squeaked out and smiled. Carlos smiled at her and then went back to eating his corndog.
"Wanna sit down?" Kendall asked and patted the bench in between him and Carlos. Heidi nodded and sat down and smiled at the two boys. "How are you?" Kendall asked and took a bit out of his corndog, while putting his arm around the girl and smiling that brotherly smile he always got when he was around Katie.
"I'm good." Heidi replied. "How are you two?" She asked.
"We're fine." Kendall said. "Just hanging out, you know." He said and smiled. The girl smiled at him and then turned to try and communicate with the latino on her right, a near impossible task if you've ever tried to talk to Carlos while he's eating.
Kendall sat happily with his arm around the little Katie lookalike and looked around. He noticed a guy in a weird jacket, worriedly looking around with tired eyes. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked so sick that he could just fall apart in any second. Kendall tilted his head a bit and eyed the guy. That until the guy looked over to him and met his eyes and held them. Kendall furrowed his eyebrows and the guy just... stared at him before hurrying in behind a corner and disappearing.
"Carlos..." Kendall mumbled, successfully gaining his friend's attention. "I think we have to go back now." He said slowly and sternly. "And you Heidi, you have to go home as well and don't speak to anyone on the way home, alright?" He said.
The girl looked a bit confused but nodded. "What is it, Kendall?" Carlos asked and followed the blond's eyes over to where he was looking. "Did you see anything?" He asked. Kendall nodded and got up.
"Yeah, and I think-"
Kendall was interrupted by the sound of a woman shrieking. The sound as followed by other people yelling and then a gunshot. People around in the park started to panic. To run and take cover in various places.
"Come on!" Kendall said and dragged both the girl and Carlos along and got up. "We have to get out of here. Now!"
"W-Wait!" Heidi whined. "M-My dad!" She whined and snaked out of Kendall's grip. "I have to go to him!" She said and started running.
"H-Heidi wait!" Kendall called, but Carlos stopped him from following the girl. "Carlos, we have to help her." He argued and looked at his friend. But Carlos just shook his head.
"You have to get away from that." He said and nodded towards the gunshots. "Heidi's running away from it so we should too! Come on now, we have to get back to Palm Woods." he said and started dragging Kendall towards the hotel. The blond was actually amazed over how strong his small friend was and found himself being dragged all the way to 2J.
"Boys!" Mrs. Knight exclaimed and came running. "What happened? I-I heard-..." She said and looked worried. "Are you two alright?" The two boys nodded.
"We're fine." Kendall assured. "We hurried back as fast as we could."
"And Logan?" The red haired woman asked. Kendall and Carlos exchanged looks. "Where's Logan?" Mrs. Knight asked and looked around.
"We thought Logan was home." Carlos squeaked. Jennifer shook her head.
"No, he-... He went out after you when you left. He said he was worried about you two." She said. "He left before to find you." Kendall and Carlos looked at each other again. There was a shooting down at the Palm Woods park and Logan was out there somewhere.
