Thank you for all of your reviews.
You know, when I started this story I planned to write only in Kendall's POV, but now I am writing Logan chapters a lot.
Chapter 21
Logan's POV
When I stayed longer at school, because I wanted to do some research in the library, I did not expect to be beaten by Beau and Wayne Wayne. Thankfully Kendall was there to help me (I didn't think I would ever say that), because let's face it, physically I was not really strong. I mean I was fit, but I couldn't defend myself against two bulky and tall jocks. And then Kendall really surprised me. I didn't know he knew so much about first aid and the treatment of wounds. But when he explained it, it made sense why:
»How do you know so much about it? «
»Hockey. Sometimes Carlos, James and I get a little bit too enthusiastic. «
»I can imagine. I think we should clean that cut. «
»I think I have some disinfectant in my locker. «
»Why? «
»Hockey. «
»That sport sounds extremely violent. «
»Sometimes it gets a little rough. But it is the best sport in the world. «
I was distracted by my shock about seeing Kendall so caring when he cleaned the cut in my face. And then he even apologized!
»You know… I am truly sorry that we used to pick on you. «, I said.
»Really? Why did you do it then? «
»I don't know…«
»And what about my sister? «
»What about her? «
»Are you sorry, because of what you did to her? «
»Would it change something, if I would be sorry? «
»I don't know. «
»I am sorry, you know, I didn't want that this happened. «
»Do you really feel something for me? «
Actually, I didn't mean to ask this. It just slipped out of my mouth. And I felt bad about it; because Kendall looked so sad and genuine he had to tell the truth!
»Yes, I do. I can't blame you for hating me, though… I understand that. «
»Who said that I hate you? «
»You did. Often. «
»I did. But I have seen another side of you now. «
And then, as if the day wasn't crazy enough, he kissed me. His lips were warm and soft. I could understand why people would want to kiss Kendall. After a few seconds I started to respond and kiss him back. And I soon got lost in the kiss, because it felt like heaven to kiss Kendall. But then a single thought floated through my mind:
'Presley'
I pushed Kendall a few inches away. We stared into each others eyes and I could see he was a surprised as I was. But this staring lasted for only half of a second.
»Logan, I- «
I punched him. Hard. Because I was angry. I was so freaking angry. Angry at Kendall for crossing this line. Angry at myself for letting him kiss me. And angry at myself for enjoying it. I stood up, grabbed my backpack and left as quickly as I could. Somewhere on my way home I started to cry. And by the time I was in my room I was sobbing uncontrollably. Thankfully mom and dad were still not home. I wouldn't want them to worry.
After I calmed down, I grabbed my phone. I sent a text to Camille.
'Can we meet tomorrow after school?'
'Sure. Everything okay?'
'Not really.'
Camille was the best friend of my sister. And since her death she was my best friend and the person, who was always there to give me advice.
~Time Skip~
I could convince my mom to let me stay at home the next day. I told her I wasn't feeling well, but I just wanted to avoid Kendall. To be honest, I think my mom saw through my lie, but didn't say anything. I slept for a few hours, until I got a text from Carlos:
'Dude, you got a nice right hook.'
'Kendall told you?'
'Yeah, he did. Are you okay?'
'I'm not sure.'
For the next hours, I stayed in my bed thinking about the kiss. Thankfully, Camille came early. She sat down on my bed.
» What's wrong, Logie? «
I took a deep breath and then spilled everything: how caring Kendall was with Katie, how I decided to spend more time with him and James for Carlos' sake and then finally how caring he was towards me and how he kissed me.
»I actually liked it! How can I like it when he kisses me? What kind of brother am I, when I like it that the guy responsible for my sister's death kisses me? I mean- «
»Logie! Stop! You are thinking too much again. Normally, I would ask you if you are feeling something for Kendall, but I know that you would just repeat yourself. Let's try something else. Can you imagine that you could be attracted to Kendall if his past were different? «
I closed my eyes.
»Yes. «
»And why is that? «
»He can be so caring and loving. He has a funny side. And he respected my boundaries. Well, until yesterday. He is really talented when it comes to music and hockey. He knows a bit about medicine. He is smart and a great conversationalist. And not to mention really handsome. «
»Then what holds you back? «
»Presley…«
»Logan, she was my best friend and I loved her dearly. And I will never like Kendall. But you can't linger in the past. That is not healthy. And in your case, I suggest that you follow your heart. «
»Okay, lets say I 'follow my heart' then how is our relationship supposed to work? He is a slut who slept with dozens of people. I am a insecure virgin. He is the most popular jock on our school. I am a nerd. He'll always feel guilty because of Presley and I would never trust him enough, because of his previous sexual activities. That doesn't sound like a healthy relationship to me. «
Camille smiled sadly.
»That is something you should talk with Kendall about. «
So, what do you think? Please review.
