A/N: Hey all, I know it has been awhile since I last updated and I am sorry, I am working as best as I can to get these last few chapters to you. On that note, I have decided there will be 5 more chapters. To be honest with you I feel that, especially these next two or three will be really random and strange, but I want to have them in there to make things more interesting. So just bear with me as I write some crazy stuff, and I hope you enjoy these last few chapters.

Chapter 21: Darkness

I'm really sorry abt last night Logie. But I really hope u would reconsider leaving. -K

Logan stared at the message on his phone as he felt his eyes start to get watery. All he could tell himself was that going home is the best thing he can do, no matter how much it hurt by doing it.

Mrs. Mitchell turned towards her son and saw the look on his face. "Are you okay?"

Logan turned off his phone and looked at his mom. "I don't know. I think I may be reconsidering this decision."

"You do know sweetie, that we are not forcing you to come home. We only want what's best for you, and even if you want to stay here you will be safe."

"I know, but I feel like it would be safer in Minnesota, but I don't think I can be away from the guys."

"I know it is a difficult decision for you, but you have to make up your mind soon."

Logan only nodded as he looked out the widow watching as the buildings passed by. He couldn't help but feel something towards LA. He remembered all the good and bad things that have happened and how they really changed him. It only took a few seconds for all the emotions to come crashing back, both good and bad, to make him realize that for better or worse he was going to make the right decision.

The mood of 2J was completely different once Logan left. The guys were sitting on the couch being quiet, and thinking to themselves. Even though Logan was only gone for a few minutes, it seemed like he was gone forever.

"He just got him back, and now he's gone again." Carlos broke the silence while watching his two friends sit there and stare into space.

"I know, it's just never the same when one of us is gone, especially Logan. I wonder if this is going to change anything." James said.

"Of course this will change something, it will change everything. Logan's going back to Minnesota while we stay here and become a band without him, and it's all my fault. If I didn't say those stupid things last night, he may still be here." Kendall looked down at his fists which were white from clenching them together.

"Don't say that Kendall, We all know Logan is the smart and logical one, and he proably put a lot of thought into this decision before we even saw him." James said.

"Yeah, but I wish he put us and our feelings into consideration before he left. We are affected by him leaving too."

"Kendall, stop. This decision was his to make, and we all know that it would be much safer for Logan if he went back home, at least until Rick is caught." Carlos said before sitting next to Kendall and trying to get him to calm down.

No one said anything for a while, but the silence was interrupted by the sound of the apartment door opening.

"Hey guys. Did you miss me?" Logan said as he dropped his bag on the floor and entered the apartment.

"Logan?" Carlos jumped up and ran to Logan, the other two not far behind.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you going back to Minnesota? Gustavo is going to freak out again when he finds out you're back." James said joining Carlos by Logan's side.

"Don't worry, I already told Gustavo, and he did kind of freak out, but I know he was happy. I was going to go back home, then I realized that it would be strange being home without you guys. I know that it would have been much safer for me to go home, but I just couldn't be there alone. And plus it would be extremely boring without you guys." Logan said making them all laugh.

"Look Logan, about what I said last night. I didn't mean it, I just couldn't see you leave without talking to us about it. I am truly sorry." Kendall said, the look in his eyes showed that he meant it.

"I know. You had a right to be upset since I didn't talk to you guys before I made the decision, and I should have." Logan said as he and Kendall hugged it out.

"Okay, let's just forget all about it because no on is going anywhere. I say we take a trip to the mall to celebrate." Carlos said, as the others quickly agreed.

The ride to the mall was very eventful. The entire time the group was laughing and telling stories, having the time of their lives. Kendall parked the car in the lot and they all entered the mall. They all wanted to go to different stores, so they compromised on going to all of them one at a time.

Since there was a clothing store right there, and it was one of James' favorites, they decided to head there first. They spent nearly 45 minutes watching James pick out as many clothes as he could and trying each of them on. Finally he decided on what to buy, payed the cashier and they left.

The next stop was the sports store for Kendall. They stopped every now and then to sign autographs and take pictures with fans, but avoided them when they started asking Logan about his incident. The story was all over the news when it happened, and it still was since Rick is still at large.

They entered the sports store and were separated when Carlos and James went to look at some of the surfing gear while Logan followed Kendall who was looking at the hockey equipment. For some reason though, Logan felt weird, like someone was watching him.

"Hey, Logan what do you think of this one?" Kendall asked holding up a hockey stick and showing it to Logan.

"It's good." Logan said while looking over his shoulder to see if someone was watching him.

"Are you okay Logan?" Kendall asked, putting down the hockey stick.

"Yeah, it just feels like someone was watching me."

"Oh, well it is probably just a fan who is too afraid to talk to you." Kendall said, reassuring him before looking back at the hockey gear.

After the sports store, the guys headed to get some food at the food court, where Carlos ate about 5 corn dogs. When they finished eating, they decided to go to the toy store, much to Carlos' delight. The only words spoken were a bunch of "Woahs", "Sweet", and "That is awesome," which all came from Carlos. They spent about half an hour playing with all the toys before heading to the bookstore for Logan.

Once they got there, Carlos and James headed for the music section, while Kendall went to the sports section, and Logan to the medical section. Even though Logan was by himself, he could see his three friends looking over their shoulders to check up on him. He just ignored them and went on looking at the books, but he couldn't help but feel that same feeling he had before, like someone was watching him. He knew it wasn't his friends, because the feeling was strange and weird. He looked around the store and saw two familiar eyes staring at him. The same cold, dead eyes that belonged to the man he despised. But when Logan blinked a few times in disbelief, there was no one there. Logan told himself that he was imagining it, and went to join his friends.

"Did you find any books Logan?" Kendall asked.

"No. Can we go home now? I'm kinda tired." Logan said.

"Sure, let's head to the car."

They got within sight of the car, and James and Carlos ran for shotgun, James won. Kendall got into the driver's seat, Logan was behind him, and Carlos behind James.

They drove out of the parking lot and headed home. The car ride was once again filled with laughs and jokes from all four guys.

Logan was having a great time with his friends and was glad that he decided to stay in LA. He turned to Carlos who was in the middle of telling a story when Logan noticed a car heading straight towards them. In the split second it took, all Logan could see was his friends having a great time and laughing going to broken glass flying everywhere, and blood forming from injuries. As this was happening, he saw the car coming straight for them, and he saw the eyes of the driver that hit them, the same eyes that he saw in the bookstore and the eyes that he knew belonged to Rick.

The impact of the car hitting the passenger's side forced their car to go flying the opposite direction. The broken glass and blood from him and his friends filled Logan's vision before all he could see was darkness.
