Chapter 5
The following day Kendall woke up to a surprisingly empty apartment. Logan, James, Carlos, Mrs. Knight, and Katie were nowhere to be found. However, when Kendall saw it was eight am, he wasn't surprised. He remembered meeting the older man for some more of those pills to get himself some breakfast. With a smile, Kendall started to make himself some food. That's when we found a note taped to the fridge:
Kendall,
Katie and I went; she has another audition for a commercial today. We have to keep these up if we want to keep her in the palmwoods school; I'm also looking for more jobs today. James and Carlos went to the pool to enjoy their day, and Logan was with Camille. Please be careful and don't do anything stupid. Katie and I will be back around two pm, hopefully. Love you - Mom
Grinning, Kendall puts the note down, which makes his escape to visit the older man easier. After eating his breakfast, Kendall went to his room to grab his sunglasses and his small bookbag. He also caught the near-empty bottle and opened it; he got the last pill out and took it with the bottle of water her had. Smiling, Kendall puts the bottle in his pant pocket and puts his backpack on the nightstand. Grabbing his wallet, his copy of the apartment key, and his phone, Kendall heads out to the spot where he first meets the older man.
It took a little while for Kendall to get to downtown L.A but he finally did he saw the older man already sitting on the bench waiting for him. Kendall takes his sunglasses off and sits down next to the man since the seat is saved for him. The two look at one another, and without a single word, the older man gets something out of his pocket, and he holds it out to Kendall; it's a new bottle filled with all-new little white pills.
"Fifty bucks, please - " The older man grunts as he grins to Kendall.
Kendall is baffled and raises an eyebrow, "Fifty? You told me they would be forty!? Why fifty now?!" Kendall questions not being pleased with the price change.
"Because kid, life is expensive, so I need to up it a little. It's still forty, just adding ten as a tax fee for getting them to you. Now you want the pills or not?"
The older man questions with slight irritation in his voice as he eyes the boy next to him.
"Alright, alright, hang on…." Kendall complies after shaking his head; he pulls out his wallet and finds fifty bucks. He hands it to the older man and says, "There, can I have them now?"
The older man hands him the bottle, "Here you go, kid."
Smiling, Kendall sighs, "Thank you, but I was wondering whether I can ask you your first name. And how did you get my phone number? I don't remember giving it to you." Kendall wonders as he also raises his eyebrows in thought.
With a sigh, the older man shakes his head, he says. "You can call me Old Man Jones, and I got your number off one of that celebrity sights; I didn't know it was your real number but figured I'd give it a try. So you might want to look into getting your number off that sight…." Old Man Jones explains as he leans back against the bench.
"Right, makes sense." Kendall states as he nods, "Thanks, I'll look into that; I keep forgetting things like that can get leaked out; I mean, how do people find this stuff out, I'm not sure, but they do hu?"Kendall questions as he shakes his head.
Old Man Jones laughs, "Got that right kid, welcome to Hollywood. Anyway, I should get going, message me if you need more or if your friends want any. I could always use more clients.
Good luck with Hollywood, kid; though you and your friends might make it, your music is good, Big Time Rush, right? I heard some songs on the radio." Old Man Jones explains as smiles.
Kendall looks at the older man in surprise. He didn't think he knew who Kendall was or what he even did. Either way, Kendall nods, "Yes, that's right, thank, you sir."
Kendall states with a smile as he stands up too.
With that, the two bid their goodbyes, and Kendall heads back to the palmwoods. Once he arrived at the palmwoods, Kendall made his way to apartment 2J.
Entering the apartment, he closes the door behind him and turns to make it to his bedroom when he is stopped. Logan is behind him with crossed arms and a worried look.
"Where were you?" Logan questions as he raises an eyebrow at his friend.
"Um, I went for a walk; why?" Kendall questions as he looks towards the brunette before him; he isn't in the mood to be interrogated.
" - And you didn't think to message us and let us know? I came back, and you weren't around; I was starting to get worried. I almost called your mother." Logan explains as he frowns.
Kendall rolls his eyes slightly, "Logie, I'm fine; you don't have to worry about me." Kendall states as he walks over to the fridge and gets a cup of water.
Logan shakes his head, "Of course I do; do you not remember what happened at rehearsal yesterday? Kendall, you're not acting like your normal self. Something is going on with you, I'm not sure what it is, but I don't have a good feeling I'm just looking out for you." Logan explains as he watches his friend closely, he's so concerned about Kendall it isn't funny, and Kendall is playing it off like nothing even happened yesterday; something isn't right.
Kendall waves a dismissive hand at his friend while taking a sip of his water. "Logan, for the last time, it is nothing; I'm fine! I must've had a twenty-four-hour bug or something. So leave me alone!"
Kendall snaps at the Burnett, feeling a little irritated that Logan keeps on him.
The brunette is surprised at the sudden change of tone in his blonde-haired friend, Logan sighs and looks at Kendall sadly.
"Fine, I'll leave you alone then. Just know we are here for you if you need to talk about anything."
With that, Logan walks out of the room and no doubt into their shared bedroom. Sighing, Kendall shakes his head, his heart clutches a little, for he feels a little bad, but he feels better not having Logan on his case. But the feeling terrible thing, it was starting to make him guilty for snapping at Logan, the blonde-haired, green-eyed boy, knew his friend had good intentions, but he was worried Logan would figure about his pills. Of course, Kendall didn't think it was a big issue if they knew, but Kendall still believed it was none of their business what he was taking and what he wasn't. With the want of getting his guilty feelings away, Kendall pulls the new freshly bottled pills out and opens them to takes another one. He didn't care if he had already taken one this morning; he only cared if the second one helped his guilty feelings go away. Kendall put the lid back on and turned, only to be stopped once more.
"I knew something was going on with you, and I just didn't know until now," Logan whispers as he and Kendall make eye contact before Logan looks at the bottle in his hand.
He says, "Kendall, why? Why would you take those? How did you even get them?"
Kendall doesn't reply; instead, he stares at his friend in shock and slight fright. Although he was scared, Kendall wouldn't show it, but now Logan knew, Logan knew about the pills, and all might be over. Kendall could hope Logan would only understand and not go running to the others about it. But little did Kendall know; Logan would be the only friend to realize for a while and that this would be the start of a super hard road ahead of him, which will be one of the most challenging roads Kendall ever takes...
A/N - Well, there is chapter five! I could've gone longer, but I thought this would've made a good cliffhanger.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and please remember to review, fav, and follow! Thanks! - BTRFanatic13
