Author's Notes: We're almost there to the ending. But, we're also close to the sequel! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Logan's POV:
We came back to the safe house around 8:30 pm. Shay and a couple of other members decided to stay at the hospital tonight. Me and Carlos went upstairs to our room and collapsed on the bed.
"It's been a long day," Carlos sighed.
"I know," I agreed, "I never thought I'd see the hospital so much in one day," He laughs.
"I know, me either," He sits up and throws his leg on the side of the bed. He took his phone out of his pocket and turned to me.
"Can you hand me my phone charger out of that drawer, babe?"
"Sure," I sit up and open the drawer by my side of the bed. I see his charger and take it out. Under the charger, I also see an envelope with 'Logan & Carlos' written in neat cursive hand writing, on the front of it. I remember that it's the letter James gave to us over a month ago! I can't believe we never opened it! I turn to Carlos and hand him his charger before I start talking,
"Hey, Carlos?"
"Yea, baby?" He stood back up from plugging his phone in and sat back down on the bed and threw his arm around my shoulders.
"We never opened up James' gift to us," I say as I hold up the white envelope that I took out of the drawer. He cocked his head to the side,
"Huh, I guess we didn't. Well, open it," I open the envelope and take out the card. I opened it and read what was written inside.
'Dear Logan & Carlos,
I'm sorry for everything I put you guys through. I know I haven't been myself since me and Shay broke up, and I thank you guys for being there for me. I don't know if Shay will ever take me back. And even if she did, I know she'd want to take it slow. And this would be way too fast for her. One of my dreams was to go with her to Paris for vacation. If I can't live that dream out with her, I want you guys to live it out for me. Here are 2 tickets, first class, to Paris during our Senior Year break in June. I hope you guys enjoy it. You 2 deserve the best. Thanks for everything guys : )
Yours Truly,
James Diamond'
I pull out the 2 tickets that proved that we were going to Paris, on June 3 – 11 of 2010…on a first class flight.
"OH MY GOD!" I screamed.
"What? What'd he give us?" Carlos questioned as I shoved the envelope and tickets into his hands. His eyes scanned over the card and widened. Then, he threw the card on the bed and stared at the tickets. Suddenly he stood up on the bed and shouted,
"WE'RE GOING TO PARIS!" He jumped down and picked me up, spinning us around. I was laughing at his childish behavior. He's honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me. He stopped spinning us and put me down, but still held on tight.
"We're going to Paris! The city of love," He whispered before he kissed me softly. There wasn't any tongue or battle for dominance. It was just a simple, yet extraordinary kiss. It was the best kiss of my life.
An Hour Later
Since we didn't have dinner, Carlos thought it would be romantic if he made me a nice candlelit dinner. Key word being thought. It turns out he can't really cook as good as he thought he could. After putting out the small fire, we decided on curling up on the couch, watching movies in our pj's, and ordering take-out. When the take out came and we got settled on the couch, Carlos put in one of my favorite movies, that he absolutely hates, 'Letters To Juliet'. He sat down next to me and I turned my head to look at him.
"What?" He asked.
"You hate this movie. Why'd you choose this?"
"Because you love it. The least I could do is stick through your favorite movie since I ruined dinner," He answered with a little pout on his face. I put my plate down on the coffee table and hold his head in my hands.
"You didn't ruin dinner. I admit, a candlelit dinner would've been nice, but I enjoy this just as nice. My favorite thing in the world is cuddling up with my boyfriend. This is the best thing you could ever do for me," I tell him. He leans closer and pecks me on my lips.
"I love you,"
"I love you, too," I kiss him once more before I take my hands off his face and grab my plate. We watched 2 ½ movies before I fell asleep with dreams of me, Carlos and Paris.
Carlos' POV:
When I saw Logan close his eyes and finally went to sleep, I turned the TV off and picked Logan up bridal style and carried him to our room. I tucked him into our bed and kissed his forehead. As soon as my lips left his forehead, my phone rung. I quickly answered the phone so the ringing wouldn't wake him up.
"Hello?" I whispered as I walked out of the room.
"Hey. It's me Shay. Why are you whispering?"
"I was putting Logan into our bed when you called. He fell asleep while we were watching movies," I say as I made my way into the kitchen to put our plates away.
"Aw. Aren't you the sweet boyfriend!"
I blush, "Yea yea yea. So, what's up?"
"…I know who shot James,"
"Who?" I ask as I put the dishes in the sink and sit on the counter.
"It was Kendall. He did it to get back at me,"
"Wait, wait, wait. Get back at you for what?"
"…Um, me and Kendall used to…date,"
"WHAT?" I scream before I remember Logan's upstairs sleeping, "What the fuck do you mean you used to date?"
"It was when we were younger! The gang wasn't really formed! It was a long time ago and it was just a huge mistake and now he wants to get back at me for breaking up with him,"
"I…I-I can't believe this, Shay! What the hell were you thinking?"
"I wasn't thinking, Carlos! The night I broke up with him was an accident-"
"So you weren't gonna break up with him?"
"Would you let me finish! I was gonna break up with him! I was gonna tell him we couldn't be together because of this gang stuff! Instead, I found him cheating on me with Jeremy! I heard him say he didn't really love me,"
"Love you? Shay…you love Kendall?" I say. It's weird. Normally I'd be pissed off. But, I feel sad for Shay.
"I used too. Now I hate him with a passion,"
I smile and laugh a little. I know she doesn't mean it. She may hate him, but there's still a little love in her heart for Kendall.
"I called because I need your help to come up with a plan to end Knight once and for all,"
"There's my Shay!" She laughs.
"Yea, yea, yea. James looks like he's about to wake up. I'll talk to you later," She hangs up. I take a deep breath and go back upstairs to me & Logan's room. As I open the door, I see Logan sitting up in the bed rubbing his eyes. I walk over to the bed and sit down. I kiss his forehead.
"Why are you up, baby?"
"You weren't here holding me. I always sleep better with you holding me," He answered and we lay down and he puts his head on my chest.
"Go to sleep, babe. It's been a long day. You need some rest,"
He yawns and closes his eyes, "Ok. Night, Carlos. I love you,"
"I love you too, baby,"
At The Hospital:
James POV:
I can't believe it. She went out with Kendall Knight! Shay thought I was sleep when she made that call to Carlos. Truth is, I woke up 5 minutes before she made the call. I don't know why I didn't open my eyes and let her know I was awake. I guess it was just a feeling I had. But, I never knew she had a secret THIS big. I start to open my eyes and make it seem like I just woke up. I turn my head and see her smiling softly,
"Hey, baby," I say in a soft voice. I should SO be an actor when I graduate college.
"Hey. How you feeling?" She asked me.
"Eh. I'm okay,"
"The doctor said you could go home in 2 days," My ears perk up and a smile shows on my face.
"Really? Why not tomorrow?"
"They said they wanna run some more test or something like that,"
"Oh," I look up at the ceiling, "I heard you, Shay,"
"What do you mean?" She asked before she took a sip of her water.
"I heard you on the phone with Carlos," She turns her head and spits her water out in surprise.
"What? You heard…everything?" She asked quietly.
"Yea. Everything,"
"…How do you feel about that?" I turn to look her in the eyes. When my hazel eyes meet her gray colored eyes, I say,
"I don't know,"
