Chapter Three:
Kendall woke the next morning with a smile on his face. He was still replaying the things that took place yesterday. He sat up in his bed and reached over to pick up his phone. He saw that he had many Happy Birthday texts. He smiled. His expression soon dropped though, when he noticed that there wasn't a message from Logan. Kendall was confused. He knew that Logan didn't forget that today was his birthday. Kendall shrugged his shoulders and got out of bed. He walked downstairs, where he was met by his Mom and his sister Katie.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" they both said in unison. Kendall noticed a cake on the table.
"Oooh, cake!" He said, as he got himself a plate.
"I hope you guys aren't planning anything else. Cake is enough." Kendall said. Katie and Mrs. Knight looked to each other.
"Aren't you doing something with your friends tonight?" Mama Knight asked. Kendall shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah, I think so. James told me that they were throwing me a party."
"Well, that sounds like fun."
"Yeah, it's a school night though. I have a test in Spanish tomorrow."
"Since when have you cared about school?" Katie asked. Kendall shoved her shoulder.
"Have you talked to Logan this morning?"
"No."
"I bet he got you something special,"
"Or, maybe not. I think he forgot about my birthday." Mrs. Knight hummed in a skeptical tone.
"I'm sure he didn't forget. You guys dated for what, three years?"
"Four. He hasn't even brought it up."
"Maybe he's planning something special?"
"We're not even dating anymore,"
"But, you're still friends, right? And from the things I've been hearing, you two are getting heated again?" Kendall shot her a shocked expression.
"Who told you that?"
"I'm a mom. I know things." She said with a knowing smile. Kendall looked at her with suspicious expression and backed away slowly. He took a slice of cake and went back upstairs to get dressed for school.
"So, Kendall and Logan are dating again?" Katie asked Mrs. Knight. She looked down to Katie.
"I don't think they're dating, but I don't think they'll be able to last being apart."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you ever just watched them? They're crazy about each other."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KENDALL!" Yelled James and Carlos. Kendall smiled brightly. Kendall's locker was all decorated with string and confetti.
"Thanks, guys,"
"Here, open my present first!" said James, handing him a red bag. Kendall took the bag from James and pulled out a can of hairspray. James stood; proud of his gift choice.
"Hairspray, really?"
"No, Barracuda Hairspray." James said proudly. Kendall chuckled and placed an arm across James' shoulder.
"Thanks, Dude."
"No problem." Carlos rolled his eyes and shoved past James.
"Here, open a real present." Carlos stuck his tongue out at James. James shot him a mean expression back. Carlos handed Kendall a small box. Kendall opened the box and saw that there was a corndog inside of it.
"Thanks man, I'm starving."
"Wait, how long has it been in there?.." James questioned.
"Uhh... Is that really important?" Kendall looked down and gave a look of disgust. Logan and Camille walked up. Logan smiled at Kendall.
"Happy birthday, Kendall." He said. Kendall smiled a sheepish smile.
"Thanks," The two smiled at each other for a few moments too long. Camille interrupted with the clearing of her throat.
"We're still here, ya know?" she teased. Logan and Kendall both snapped out of their gaze. Camille handed Kendall a box.
"This is from me and Logan. Mostly Logan though." Logan blushed and looked down. Kendall looked at Logan as he opened the box. Kendall pulled a book from the box, his favorite book to be exact; Cried For No One. Kendall smiled.
"It's nothing special, I just-"
"It's perfect. Thanks Logan." Kendall assured. Logan smiled.
"So, you guys are throwing me a party tonight?" Kendall asked. Camille gasped.
"Who told you?" she asked. James looked away awkwardly.
"And, this is why we don't tell James things."
"I had to!"
"You always have to do everything!-"
"Guys, guys, let's remember who's birthday it is today." Kendall said. Kendall put his new book in his backpack.
"Can you just meet us at my house tonight, around 7?" Camille said. Kendall nodded in agreement. He wasn't actually looking at Camille. He and Logan were looking at each other again.
"You two obviously need to talk. You want us to leave?" teased Carlos. Kendall stuck out his tongue.
"I'll be there." Kendall assured.
"You can ride with me, if you want," Logan said. Kendall smiled.
"Okay,"
"Pick you up at 6:30?"
"No, come at 6." Logan smiled.
"Okay."
The rest of the day went by awfully slow. Every time Kendall saw Logan, he just wanted to jump him. Kendall could tell that Logan had been thinking about what happened yesterday as well. It was just that neither of them knew how to bring up the situation again. Logan would pass Kendall in the hallway and purposely bump into him, and purposely brush against him. Throughout the day, there was constant staring between the two. Kendall just wanted to snatch him up. Logan figured that he could make Kendall break and bring it up first. Logan felt like his plan wasn't working though.

Logan arrived at Kendall's house at exactly 6:00pm. Logan reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone from his pocket.
6:01pm
Logan- I'm here.
6:02pm
Kendall- Are you gonna come in?
6:04pm
Logan- Do you want me to come in?
Kendall didn't reply. He went outside and stood at his porch. He watched Logan get out of the car. Logan smiled when he felt Kendall's eyes. He didn't look at him directly. Logan leaned against his car and looked at Kendall. Kendall tilted his head to the side. Logan did the same, with a smile on his face. Kendall tilted his head to the other side and Logan did the same. Kendall gestured his hands, telling Logan to come here. Logan shook his head. Kendall put his hand on his hip.
"Don't make me come over there," Kendall warned. Logan pretended as if he didn't hear him. Kendall smirked. Kendall walked over to Logan's car and stood in front of him.
"What are you gonna do?" Logan asked.
"I'm gonna put you in the house by force."
"And, how do you plan on- Kendall!" Kendall grabbed Logan by his waist and put him over his shoulder. Logan squirmed over Kendall's shoulder, trying to break free.
"Put me down, Kendall Knight!"
"Nope, not yet." Kendall carried Logan into his house. Logan was trying not to laugh too loud. He knew that Katie and Mrs. Knight were probably there.
"Kendall, I'm gonna beat your ass if you put me down right now!"
"I don't think you're capable."
"Kendall!"
"Yes, Love?" Kendall teased. Kendall carried Logan upstairs to his room. Kendall threw Logan on his back. Logan gasped. Kendall looked down at Logan and crossed his arms.
"We need to talk," Kendall started. Logan hoped he knew where this was going. Kendall expression had gone a bit more stern.
"About?"
"Yesterday…"
"Okay," Kendall felt a bit anxious inside, bringing up this subject. Logan felt just as anxious.
"What was that?" Kendall asked. Logan sat up on Kendall's bed and crossed his legs. Kendall still stood in front of the bed.
"You jumped me in the library," Logan said. Kendall felt a ping of hurt in his chest. Logan was giving Kendall all the credit for what had happened yesterday.
"You let me…"
"I know," The two stared at each other for a second.
"Why?"
"Because I wanted it." Logan said. Kendall sighed.
"What are we doing here, Logan?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you ever miss what we had?"
"Of course I miss what we had. It's really hard for me sometimes."
"It doesn't seem like it's hard for you."
"It really is, Kendall." Logan stood and walked over to Kendall and placed his hand on his cheek.
"Obviously not. You're all in love with Savannah." Kendall moved backwards, arms still crossed. Logan frowned.
"I'm not," He stepped closer. "I still love you, Kendall." Kendall shook his head.
"You don't."
"I do! I'm just dating Savannah to try to get over you."
"Why? Why do you wanna get over me if you still love me?" Kendall stepped closer to Logan, looking down on him. Logan shivered when he felt Kendall's breath on him.
"Because,"
"Because, What? Why?"
"Kendall, can we not talk about this right now?" Logan made a move to back away from Kendall, but Kendall grabbed Logan by his belt and pulled him closer.
"We're talking about this. You never told me why. Why did you break up with me!?"
"Because, I love you!"
"How is that even a reason!?"
"Because, Kendall. I'm not ready for this! I love you and, I didn't wanna mess anything up!" Logan's breathing had picked up. Kendall's face softened.
"What do you mean?"
"I- … I- didn't want you to leave me because I did something wrong, so I left you before I could mess everything up." Kendall stared Logan down in both confusion and anger.
"What? You could never mess anything up! You're perfect, Logan."
"I'm not,"
"You are,"
"Kendall, you don't have to-"Kendall closed the space between them and kissed Logan's lips ever so lightly.
"You're perfect." Kendall repeated. Logan smiled.
"I can't stand seeing you with Savannah. Even seeing her alone pisses me off. It just makes me think about how she probably gets to touch you, when I can't anymore." Logan placed his hand on Kendall's cheek.
"Kendall, I'm sorry…"
"Why can't I have you? You'll never mess anything up!"
"You'll get tired of me,"
"I could never get tired of you. I love you." Logan could've cried. He pulled Kendall's head down and kissed him passionately. Kendall wrapped his arms around Logan's torso and began to slightly rock him.
"I'm so thankful to have a guy like you, Kendall." Kendall smiled brightly.
"You have me, again?"
"Only if you'll take me back."
"Of course I take you back, Logan." Logan smiled and squeezed Kendall tightly. They stayed like this for a while.
"This is the best birthday ever." Kendall said. This brought Logan into realization.
"Oh yeah! We need to get to Camille's house." Logan said.
"Oh, yeah, let's go." Kendall said, interlocking their fingers. They walked out of the house, feeling as happy as they could've been. They got in Logan's car and headed to Camille's.
