After Kendall had sat around in the lobby for a good 10 minutes, just thinking about his conversation with Jo, he realized it was time to go back to the apartment. He had no idea how he was going to face the boy he had just found out he was in love with. I can't tell him. Kendall thought. I don't even think he's gay. I don't even think I'm gay! Kendall shook his head to push away the thoughts. He approached the elevator door.
Kendall was just gonna play it cool. Only talk to Logan when he need to talk to him. Just keep a bit of a distance.
He pushed the button to open the elevator door. He was glad that their was no one in the elevator because he didn't feel like talking right now. He stood leaning against the elevator wall, threading his hands in his hair. Soon he reached his floor.
Wow. Kendall thought as he walked down the hall. He soon reached 2J. Just go in there and act natural. Kendall Knight doesn't get afraid. Just march in there like nothing, it's simple. It was Kendall's natural reaction to make everything seem easy, so he wouldn't get stressed out and fail. But only worked with hockey or singing. The was love.
Kendall was just standing there pacing in front of the door and he must of looked really crazy because as soon as two women walked by, he heard whispers like "Whats wrong with him?"
Kendall knew he had to go in eventually. He took a deep breath, and turned the knob to enter the apartment. He walked in slowly and quietly and looked to see that no one was around. He let out a breath of relief and closed the door. As he walked down the hallway he noticed his and Logan's bedroom door was closed. He pressed his ear against the door and after a while, he heard a soft snore.
He smiled and walked back into the living room. He turned on the TV and left it on whatever channel it was on. He knew he couldn't avoid Logan forever but for the time being he would. So he sat there, completely ignoring the TV and thinking- what next?
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Carlos and James were at the pool.
"So I was thinking. You chat up that brunette over there, while I-" James started.
"Oh! Sorry James, but the Jennifers are here!" Carlos said as the Jennifers walked into the pool area and sat in their usual spot with blonde Jennifer in the middle. Carlos sprung up and started to walk towards them. James got up and stepped in front of Carlos stopping him. Carlos pouted.
"Carlos, you do this every week and every week you get a 'no'." James was right. This was the probably going to be the 10th time Carlos had asked the Jennifers out.
"Yeah but that's because I always ask them all out! This time I just want to date blonde Jennifer!"
"Carlos I don't-"
"Trust me James. It will work. Watch." And with that Carlos pushed aside the taller brunette and walked over to them. James wasn't sure about his Carlos logic and he knew Carlos was just going to have to learn the hard way.
"What do you want Carlos?" Blonde Jennifer said, tilting her shades down a bit so her blue eyes were shown.
"Will you go out with me?"
"No." She said as she tilted her shades back up and reached for her pink smoothie.
"Ok." Carlos said happily as he turned to leave.
"Wait that's it?" Brunette Jennifer said as she stood up, taking off her shades. "Why not me? You always ask me next!"
"Or me?" Curly hair Jennifer said as she also took her shades off and stood.
"I-um-" Carlos was starting to get nervous. This wasn't a part of the plan. Carlos thought as he started to edge back a bit.
"Ladies, it's obvious that Carlos wants to go out with me, so sit down!" Blonde Jennifer said standing to face the other two.
The look the other two Jennifers gave her scared Carlos. He started to slowly and quietly back away, leaving them to bicker about who was going to date Carlos. He backed away until he reached the door that entered the lobby. Where James was waiting.
"So how'd your plan work?" James said sarcastically.
"Not at all! And I think we should get out of here before the Jennifers kill me...or each other." Carlos said as he ran towards the elevator and James followed. They stood their impatiently and the elevator came to the lobby to pick them up. As soon as it opened they ran in, getting glares from the older couple that was walking out at the same time.
"CARLOS!" They heard the Jennifers scream as the elevator door closed. James and Carlos leaned back on the elevator wall. They looked at each other with a look and they both understood it. No more girls for a long time. After the whole deal with the Jennifers, neither one could object. They both nodded and the elevator door opened up on their floor.

James and Carlos opened the door and it at first startled Kendall. It pulled him out of his thoughts about Logan. Carlos immediately came over and sat beside Kendall. James shut the door and went to the fridge to grab a soda and sat down. Kendall didn't know what to say, he had been thinking alone to himself for so long that he couldn't even speak. So this is what being in love is like? Great. Kendall thought sarcastically.
"K-Dog, you okay?" James asked. "You're sitting here quiet, alone, and watching the news."
"Nothing a good scary movie can't fix!" As soon as Carlos said that, he grabbed the remote and turned to the On Demand channel. The just surfed through the choices until settling on some ghost movie.
"Another scary movie, Carlos?" Kendall asked as he rolled his eyes. Sometimes Carlos was really just a big kid.
"Of course, duh!" Carlos said hitting Kendall on the arm. "Let me just change into my sweats and I'll be right back!" He jumped up fast, obviously not wanted to miss the movie. James and Kendall chuckled as the movie begun.
Carlos walked down the hall and noticed that Kendall and Logan's room door was closed. Logan was always good with breaking down the movie and figuring out what was gonna happen. Carlos decided to tell him that they were about to watch a scary movie. He knocked on the door. After 5 seconds (which was like 5 minutes to Carlos) he decided Logan was taking too long, and opened the door.
"Hey, Logan, we're watching a-"Carlos started until he realized the brunette was asleep. Carlos was about to wall out and leave Logan alone until he saw that Logan's desk drawer was open. His cleaning instincts took the best of him and he quietly walked to close the drawer. He grabbed the handle and pushed it inward to close it, but something was blocking it from closing. Carlos opened it to see what was in the way.
"Ooh juice!" Carlos said grabbing a bottle full of some blue substance. He twisted the cap off and started to drink it. It tasted horrible but it was too late. The blue drink was already going down his throat and he had to swallow it. And as soon as he did, it was as if he stomach was being torn apart.
He started uncontrollably gagging. He was holding his stomach as he coughed and coughed.
"Carlos are you ok?" He heard James ask from the living room. "You're missing the movie!"
Carlos continued to cough until finally everything around him faded. And he passed out, the bottle dropping out of his hand and spilling on the ground.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
James was wondering what was taking Carlos so long. He knew that the shorter wouldn't have wanted to miss the movie. So why is he taking such a long time? James thought. He started to grow impatient and decided to go find out himself. He got up with little to no notice from Kendall. As he started to walk down the hallway, he noticed that his and Carlos' room door was shut like it was before. For no reason at all he looked to Logan and Kendall's room for a split second. And he was glad he did. The sight made him do a double take.
"Carlos are you okay!" James screamed, running to his best friend's side.
The screaming woke Logan up. His was a bit out of it and didn't even realize the sight on the floor until James screamed again.
"Logan, help!" James said as he shook Carlos. "H-He's not moving."
"Don't shake him! It may make it worst!" Logan say as he climbed out of bed to be by Carlos' side. He put a hand on Carlos chest and checked his pulse. "He's barely breathing and his pulse is faint."
Kendall came running it and saw Carlos on the ground with Logan and James beside him. He immediately reached into his pocket, grabbed his phone, and dialed 911. He put the phone on speaker.
911, What's your emergency?
"Uh yeah I-I have a f-friend who's passed out." Kendall said frantically.
Is your friend breathing?Kendall put the phone towards Logan's mouth.
"Barely. P-please help!" Logan said, fear showing in his voice.
Remain calm. We'll be there shortly.
"O-okay thanks." Kendall hung up the phone and threw it on the bed. He dropped down on the floor to be beside Carlos.

The ambulance entered the apartment with a stretcher and a portable oxygen machine. They carried Carlos out of the room and into the living room to be placed on the stretcher. The boys watched as they put an oxygen mask on him and carried him out of the apartment door. They followed them in the elevator, and down into the lobby which was full of gasps and worried faces. James was just ready to follow them out the Palm Woods door until Logan stopped him.
"We can't ride in the ambulance, hospital rules, I'll go get my keys."
"We'll be outside by your car." Kendall said as his placed a hand on James' back and they walked outside the Palm Woods.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Logan entered their apartment and ran straight to his room. His keys were on his desk. As he reached for his keys, he noticed that his desk drawer was open. The drawer were he kept his...drugs.
"No..." Logan said he started to breath heavily. He looked in the drawer and saw that his needle was still their and so was only one bottle of the drugs. He scanned the floor and soon noticed the bottle with blue liquid spilling out of it.
He ran faster than ever out of the apartment with his keys jingling in his hand. Now more worried than he was before. The drug was an injection drug only. Logan had no idea what would happen if someone were to drink it. He frantically pressed the elevator button to go back down to the lobby. He couldn't believe that he had been so stupid. He ran out of the elevator once he had reached the lobby floor. Who knows what could be going through Carlos' system? He ran out of the Palm Woods entrance and approached his car, where James and Kendall were waiting. Logan turned the key in the driver's door twice which unlocked the whole car.
They jumped in the car with Kendall in the passenger's seat and James in the back. Kendall leaned his head on the window as Logan sped out of the parking lot. He saw James' face in the reflection. He turned to the back and tried to comfort James.
"It's going to be okay, James." Kendall said then he faced Logan. "Right?" Kendall and James both looked at Logan with hopeful eyes.
"Uh r-right." Logan stutter as he looked towards Kendall then back to the road.
If only they knew.
