Chapter 36 Errands
A/N: Okay first off I'd like to thank DNOBSESSED for dedicating the first chapter of Scars to me! And thank you to JillEsterNapier91 for dedicating that sexy chapter of Kendall Are You Queer to me! These thank you's are a little late, I know, but THANK YOU!
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE REVIEWING! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
"Hello?"
"Mom, it's Logan. "
"Logan…"
"Look, don't say anything yet. I want you and dad to come by later today. We need to talk. You didn't let me finish. There's some stuff that you need to hear."
"I-I don't know…your father is still very upset about what you did."
Logan's blood boiled. 'What I did? What the hell is that supposed to mean? All I did was tell them the god damned truth!'
"Mom, please. I don't want us to be like this. You're my parents! You need to let me explain!" His words were filled with so much emotion. His mother couldn't turn him down.
"I'll do what I can…but don't expect a miracle. You know how your father is."
Logan let out a relieved sigh. "Thanks, mom. Listen, I don't wanna tell you any of this over the phone so I'm gonna hang up now. I'll see you in a bit."
His finger on the end button, he stopped himself when he heard more. "Logan wait!"
"Yeah mom?"
"I- I just want you to know that I love you."
'Ouch.' Logan almost didn't know how to respond. He felt betrayed. If his mother loved him so much, why didn't she just defend him? "Y-yeah ok mom. L-love you, too. Bye."
Logan hung up the phone before his mother could get another word in. He set down the phone and let out a sigh. The genius boy walked into the bathroom and gave himself a hard look in the mirror. "Remember Logan, you are not going to cry. You are not going to get there won't be a reason to cry or get hurt…right?"
The reflection in the mirror did nothing to reassure him. It only displayed his clear doubt. Logan sighed and just left the bathroom. Kendall was downstairs at the pool, and he wanted him to be there.
Logan walked through the lobby and finally came to the doorway leading to the pool area. He glanced around not wanting to have to walk around the pool to find Kendall. He just wanted Kendall…no one else. He spotted the blonde boy lying on the sun bed next to Carlos.
Logan was about to go up to them when he realized Kendall was asleep. Guilt hit Logan as he realized how much he was draining from Kendall. And it wasn't even in that sexual way. Kendall was always staying up late, waking up early, running around, carrying.
Any other person would've been dead by now, or have dropped Logan thinking he wasn't worth it. But Kendall…that boy was amazing. Logan turned to leave. 'Maybe I should let him rest. I can probably get through this on my own.' Logan began to walk away from the pool.
Carlos had noticed Logan standing in the door way. It was pretty obvious he was looking for Kendall. Carlos turned his attention to his sleeping leader. "Kendall!" Kendall bolted upright. "What? What's going on? Where's Logan? Is he okay?" He turned his head frantically searching for said boy.
Carlos chuckled. "Dude, he was just standing in the door way. I think he was looking for you, but he saw you sleeping so he left."
Kendall stiffened. "He's looking for me? What time is it?" Carlos checked his red G-Shock watch (1). "It's…4pm. Why?"
Kendall sighed out in a little relief. "His parent's should be coming around five so that Logan can tell them about the rape."
Carlos immediately sobered from his cheery mood. "He went into the café I think. You go talk to him. I'll get James. We'll wait in the apartment for the shit to hit the roof. Then we can all swoop in to comfort Logan."
Kendall's raised an eyebrow. "You make it sound like his parents still aren't gonna come around after hearing about it."
Carlos shrugged. "His parents are doctors. They're not stupid. They know that getting rape usually doesn't turn you gay. If they didn't like the idea of him being gay in the first place, they won't change from hearing about this."
Kendall stared at Carlos for a minute. "I hope you're wrong." Kendall got up and made his way to the Palm Café. Carlos yelled after him, "I hope I'm wrong too!"
Carlos sighed and got up to look for James. It wasn't hard. He just scanned the pool for a small crowd of swooning girls and even some guys. Carlos pushed through the crowd to find James in the center, like he knew he would. "Dude, we gotta go. Logan's parents are gonna be here in an hour." James immediately stopped his story and they rushed off to 2J, leaving behind a small crowd of disappointed people.
Kendall turned down the hall and entered the dim café. He scanned the room searching for his boyfriend. H wasn't hard to find. Logan was standing there in line, his body vibrating slightly. It had been a warm day, so Kendall knew it wasn't from temperature. He slowly approached his jittery boyfriend.
"It's a bit warm for coffee, don't you think?" The smaller boy jumped at the voice. Logan whipped around to find Kendall with hands stuffed in his pockets. "Don't do that! I nearly had a heart attack!" Kendall chuckled. "Why are you getting coffee?"
Logan shrugged, forgetting he was annoyed by Kendall's surprise. "I had some free time so I figured I'd go check up on Adam. Haven't seen him in a few days." Logan redirected his attention to the line in front of him. It moved up by one person. They took a simultaneous step forward. "That still doesn't explain the coffee." Logan stared at him like the answer was obvious. "I needed an excuse to go see him. I can't just go for no reason."
Kendall chuckled. "Such a girl." Logan pouted. "Such a…a…I hate that I can't say anything mean to you." Kendall smirked. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding." They reached the counter and Logan ordered three orders of coffee.
The two headed up to the first floor. IT was silent as they walked down the corridor. Logan tried to find conversation, but couldn't find anything appropriate for the moment. Kendall just walked on, unaware of the silence. He figured Logan just didn't want to talk. The two finally came to apartment 1J.
Kendall knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Another knock, no answer. This occurred as odd to Logan. Where could he be. Kendall knocked again. And again, there was nothing. Not even the sound of Maisy scratching at the door.
Logan sighed. "I guess he's not home. What a waste of coffee." Kendall, not being able to stand seeing Logan sad, grabbed the cup of coffee and chugged the whole thing. It had cooled down enough for chugging while they walked up the stairs to the first floor.
Logan stared at Kendall curiously. The protective boy just grinned cheekily and began moving. 'Just stay optimistic. Logan doesn't need a tired, grumpy, douche right now. He needs optimistic, happy, fun Kendall.' Kendall thought to himself.
Logan and Kendall entered 2J and walked to their room. Logan lied down on the bed and shut his eyes. Kendall glanced at him worriedly. Before he could say anything, however, James and Carlos popped in.
"Guys, Adam came by and dropped off a note for you." Carlos held out a folded sheet of paper. Kendall took the paper and unfolded it. He sat down on the bed where Logan had sat up so that he could read the note.
I went out of town. Had some things to take care of. Don't worry. I'll be back in time for the trial. John's already told me the date and time. Don't worry about me, I just need to run some errands.
-Adam
The two stared at the note with confusion. "I wonder what he's doing?" Kendall asked. Logan shrugged. The entire room was suddenly filled with a tension. They all remained still, awkwardly.
The doorbell rang.
A/N: Okay so yeah, cliffie I know! But I am waaay to distracted to write anymore. Not my best work. Sorry. Next chapter should be up tomorrow. Finally have my schedule worked out!
This chapter was totally going somewhere, but I ended up with a filler...
And yeah I wrote Adam out of the story for a while, but it's all part of my plan! EVERYTHING. IS. UNDER. CONTROL!
QOTC: What do you think Adam's doing? I already know what he's doing, but I wanna know what you think :)
HOPE YOU ENJOYED! PLEASE REVIEW! :)
