No quote is quotey enough to entirely quote this entire chapter. And yeah, that sentence just happened. - Emily Matthews
"Are you stupid? I mean, really. What the fuck was your thought process?" Kendall asked, pacing around the hotel room.
Logan looked at him from his seat on the bed. "Ever stop to think that maybe I wasn't thinking? That maybe, just maybe, I was acting on pure impulse? That I was just following my gut instinct?"
"And your gut instinct told you that it would be a good idea to leave your fiancee and daughter?"
James walked over and pushed Kendall down into one of the chairs. "Don't talk to him like that!" he said.
"Or what, James? He knows he's a fucking idiot for doing this!"
Blaze looked at Kendall. "Or, maybe he doesn't feel that way. Maybe he's happy!"
"Or maybe he's confused and wants to stop talking about this!" Logan said, standing up and running his hand through his hair, pacing. "I'm eighteen. Eighteen! I should be worried about college and parties and music. Not a family!"
"Are you listening to yourself talk, Logan? Are you? Because you sound extremely stupid right now. You love Camille. You love Lacey. What the hell is going on?" Carlos asked.
"I'm scared!" Logan said. He looked down at the ground, trying to keep more tears out of his eyes. "I... I miss how everything used to be. I miss... this. Us. The guys. Just hanging out and not having to worry about getting home. I miss the days when everything was simple."
James walked over and wrapped his arm around Logan's shoulders. "Logan, nothing was ever simple with us. And if you look at where we are now, compared to where we were then, you'll realize that we are all way happier. Jo and Kendall have never been happier, even if they aren't technically dating in the traditional sense. I have never loved anyone the way that I love Ruby. And Carlos is not only dating Stephanie but he's also going to be a father.
"Listen. Yes, everything changed when Camille found out she was pregnant. Yes, you had to grow up fast and too soon. But you have been doing a wonderful job. And, maybe we haven't been pulling you out of the house enough. But, Logan, when you're around Lacey your eyes light up and you are the proudest father in the world. I can't remember a time when you were as happy as you are when you're around her. She adores you Logan."
The room was completely silent when James stopped talking, everyone soaking in what had just been said. It was true. Everyone in the band acted like they were way older than they were. Everyone, even themselves, tended to forget that they were only eighteen. That they were going through things that most thirty year olds would freak out over. But, deep down, they all knew that they wouldn't change a thing.
"Camille is going to kill me. James, I hurt her so bad. I... I don't know what to do anymore," Logan said. He brought James into a rather awkward hug, James allowing it and letting Logan cry silently.
"She loves you. Just give her time to calm down," James said.
/'Cuz you're my cover, covergirl. I think you're a superstar, yes you are./
Everyone looked over at Kendall as he pulled out his cellphone, pressing talk.
"Hello?... Jo, calm down... What happened?... Is everything ok?... Where are you?... Yeah, yeah. We'll be there soon." He hung up and looked directly at Carlos, his face showing signs of fear which he was desperately trying to hide.
"What's going on?" Carlos asked, his voice shaking terribly.
"We have to go to the hospital. Something happened to Stephanie."

Me: Ok, so this chapter was painfully short...
Katie: Shut up! It was good and suspensful.
Mama Knight: Yes, it was. Good job!
Me:... Why are you guys here?
Kelly: We feel forgotten lately and we wanted to do this.
Me: Oh, sorry.
Gustavo: Whatever.
Kelly: *hits him* Shut up. She does her best! It's not about us!
Me: Anyway, before this becomes longer than the story... Again, sorry about how short it was but it contained a lot, in my opinion. This chapter goes out to Harita aka happygirl57 on fanfiction aka lovesintheair on Twitter. :)
