Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
Kendall was very impatient as he rang the door bell multiple times.
Finally, a well-known face appeared at the door, wearing yet again, the best fashion.
"Oh… boys! I didn't think I'd see you guys here." Her face was still.
"Hello, Mrs. Diamond. We're here to talk to you about something." Logan's voice was soft and precious.
"Anything you want." She replied with a smile.
"May we enter?" Kendall asked. He didn't mean to sound rude, but it came out that way.
"Of course! Come, come, come in." She moved to the side so that the four big boys could come in.
As they walked in and looked around, the memories came pouring in. They used to play hockey in this house, normally breaking most things. Mrs. Diamond never seemed to mind, so the boys took that at their advantage. Carlos had tried many stunts in here, and they saw a couple chips and scratches that were still indented in the walls and furniture.
They all flashed back to reality as Mrs. Diamond gestured them to sit down on the nearest couch.
When everyone was seated, she asked, "So what did you want to talk about, loves?"
"Well, we're here to talk to you about James. We've been worried about. I know it's been a couple days, but we already miss him so much and we couldn't go on without him. He's part of the band, the friendship, the family." Carlos babbled on with watery eyes.
She looked at them, confused, without saying a word.
There was an awkward silence, as glances were thrown around the room.
"Umm…" Logan whispered, hoping to break the silence.
"Boys, I don't think you got the message." She finally said, without expression.
"What-What message?" Carlos squinted and pulled himself closer, leaning off of the couch.
"James isn't here. He left." She answered.
"Left? But, where did he go?" Kendall asked.
"He visited his father, and saw that there was no hope, and since he missed you all dearly, he took the first flight back to LA. James went home." She felt a little bad for calling LA 'home' but to the 4 boys, it was.
Carlos stood up. When he noticed that no one else had reacted this way, he sat back down.
"He actually did that? For us?" Logan's eyes were shining in the light.
She laughed a little. "Of course!"
"Well now what do we do-" Logan was interrupted by a stranger noise coming from the back pocket of his jeans. He bent over to reach his cell phone, and lifted it to his ear.
"Hello?" He said with enthusiasm.
"What? Oka- Alrigh- CALM DOWN! Got it- When? But that's- Talk slower! I can't underst- Who? Oh my go-"
He looked at his phone, which read 'Call disconnected'.
"Who was that?" Kendall asked.
"James." Logan slowly looked up to 3 other faces staring at him. He turned to face Kendall.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Diamond tried to get his attention back to her.
He didn't turn around. "I couldn't hear anything, but he said something about his dad. I think he said that his dad is threatening him." Logan's face was expressionless.
"Why?" Carlos asked to himself, but it was loud enough so that everyone could hear.
"I'm not sure. Maybe because we visited him. Maybe he thought that James sent us. I don't know." Logan answered.
"Well what does he want?" Mrs. Diamond also, asked.
Logan felt overwhelmed from all these questions that he didn't know. "I DON'T KNOW." He yelled out in frustration. He put his hands on his ears. Kendall quietly laughed, because he found Logan cute.
"You do know what that means, right?" Mrs. Diamond cocked her head and they spotted a slow grin on her face.
They exchanged some glances.
"We're teaming up." Her grin got much bigger, spreading quickly across her face. "We have one more mission to accomplish."
