Chapter Nine:
Kendall tried his best to get Logan off of the dance floor. Logan did not want to leave. Logan was pumping his fist in to air to the music with one hand, and had an alcoholic beverage bottle in the other hand. Kendall couldn't help but smile at his boyfriend. Logan was really funny when he was drunk. Kendall knew that Logan's parents wouldn't think it was very funny though. Kendall looked down at his phone and saw that it was 11:08pm. He knew he would have to have Logan back home before 12. Kendall grabbed onto Logan's arm and attempted pulling him outside.
"Where are we goin'?" Logan slurred.
"I gotta get you back home, before your mom kills me."
"No, I wanna go get ice cream!" Logan began pulling himself in the opposite direction that Kendall was pulling him.
"You get no ice cream. Ever." Kendall teased. Logan gasped and grabbed Kendall by his shirt.
"Why do you do this to me? You never even look at the situation from my side of the story!" Logan slurred his words as he explained. Kendall chuckled. He lifted Logan over his shoulder, earning a squeaking noise. Kendall began to walk in the direction of the front door. Logan began banging on Kendall's back.
"Put me down, I can walk!"
"Yeah, but not where I need you to walk," Logan stuck his tongue out at Kendall. Kendall quickly walked to the car and placed Logan in the passenger's seat. It took a second to strap Logan in his seatbelt. He kept arguing that he wanted to go back inside.
As they began to drive, Logan began to stare at Kendall with hard eyes. Kendall wanted to look back, but he didn't want to take his eyes off of the road.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kendall asked, with his eyes still on the road.
"Because, you look so sexy right now." Logan bit his lip as he said this. Kendall smirked.
"I know, but I'm pretty sure that's the alcohol talking."
"What alcohol?" Kendall smiled and shook his head.
"The alcohol that's clouding your mind right now."
"Well either way, I wanna jump you right now." Logan said, as he began unbuckling his seatbelt. Kendall grinned when he felt Logan's hot lips against his cheek.
"Logan, don't tempt me."
"Maybe I wanna tempt you."
"I will pull over into that parking lot and-"
"Fuck me?" Logan nibbled on Kendall's ear as he whispered this. Kendall shuddered at the contact.
"That's it," Kendall pulled over into a random parking lot. Logan smiled and jumped into Kendall's lap.
"I might not get a chance like this again. You probably wouldn't let me if you were sober." Kendall smirked. Logan leaned down to kiss Kendall, but his phone rang.
"Hello?" Logan spat into the phone.
"When are you coming home, Logan?" Logan's dad said.
"Whenever the hell I feel-"Kendall snatched the phone from Logan before he could finish that sentence.
"We're on our way. I promise I'll have Logan home in ten minutes." Kendall said into the phone.
"Okay, Kendall." Kendall hung up the phone and shoved it into his own pocket.
"So, you steal my phone?"
"Yes. You're mouth is dangerous when you're drunk."
"You're telling me." Logan smirked. Kendall stared at Logan in a lustful way. He wanted to just grab him and attack his lip right then and there. He knew there wasn't any time.

Kendall knocked on the front door of the Mitchell home. He tried to physically shake Logan back into his sober state of mind. Logan only giggled as he was rocked. Mrs. Mitchell opened the door.
"Logan, it's late." She said. Kendall eyed Logan from a side eye as he waited for Logan to respond to his mother. He was a bit nervous because, he didn't want Logan to say anything crazy. Logan grabbed his mom by her shoulders and brought her into a tight hug. This earned a very confused expression.
"I love you so much, mama."
"Uhm, I love you too, sweetie." Kendall laughed quietly.
"You comin in, Kendall?" she asked.
"Nah, I don't wanna impose. It's late."
"Okay, dear."
Kendall hugged Logan before leaving.
As Kendall drove off, he hoped that Logan didn't say anything to his parents that he wouldn't say if he wasn't drunk.

The next day, their group decided to meet at a restaurant. Kendall teased Logan on their way there because Logan had an awful hangover. The first person they saw as they entered was Jo. They sat down next to her.
"Hey, guys." She greeted.
"Hey, Jo. Where is everyone?"
"Dak's in the bathroom. Carlos said something about some game in the arcade." Logan smiled.
James came waltzing through the door. He wore an expression of confidence.
"Hm, you smell good." Jo told James. He grinned.
"Yes, I know. Thanks for noticing."
"Who are you getting all smellie-goodie for?"
"Camille." Carlos coughed out as he snuck in on the conversation. James punched his arm. Logan and Kendall smiled and gave each other knowing looks.
"Shut it. Can't I just leave home with a nice fragrance?"
"Yeah, but we all know that you're in looovvee with Cam-"James smacked his hand over Carlos' mouth as Camille walked in. Camille gave the two weird looks. Calvin was with her. They held hands. James gave Calvin angry eyes. He didn't notice.
"You guys remember Calvin, right?" She beamed. Dak walked up and sat next to Jo.
"Yeah, nice to see you again." Logan said.
"You seem like a cool dude. I'm just mad that Camille never tells us anything anymore." Kendall said. Camille smiled.
"Sorry every time I try to call Logan now, you and him are fucking!" a deep blush spread across Logan's cheeks. The group chuckled.
"He just can't get enough." Kendall said. Logan hit his shoulder.
"He wishes." Logan teased.
"What about you and Calvin? You guys been getting your freak on?" Jo joked
"Jo! Oh, my gosh." Camille looked to Calvin, who held wide eyes, but seemed amused. "I'm so sorry. We're a really open group of friends…"
"Oh, it's fine. Me and my friends are the same way." He assured. Camille sighed. James sat in silence, watching everyone interact. Camille hadn't even said anything to him. He slouched in his chair.
"Okay, I think I remember all of your names; Dak, Jo, Carlos, Kendall, Logan, and uhm… What's your name again? I forgot." Calvin said gesturing to James. James only rolled his eyes and didn't respond. Calvin held a confused expression.
"James. His name is James." Camille cut in. Calvin nodded his head. Calvin felt like James didn't like him for some reason.
"Yeah, he's not capable of listening and drinking juice at the same time. He probably didn't even hear you." Kendall teased. James shot him a questioning look. Carlos laughed.
"Shutup."
"Don't mind him, Calvin. He's just made cause this chick he really likes has a boyfriend." Logan said. Camille listened closely to Logan spoke. James hadn't told her that he liked someone. She wondered who it was. Calvin nodded his head in understanding.
"That must suck. Sorry, bro." Calvin said. James stood up from his seat.
"I'm going to the bathroom." He said. He walked away. Camille looked straight to Kendall and Logan once James was gone.
"What girl does James like? I want details," Camille demanded. Kendall looked to Logan with wide eyes.
"Just this girl." Kendall said.
"What girl? Does she go to our school?"
"Uhm, no… You probably don't know her."
"Logan, I've known you since we were four. I can tell when you're lying." Camille stated plainly. Logan bit his lip nervously. Carlos caught onto the situation.
"You probably don't wanna know. It's one of those chicks you don't like; on the swim team." Carlos lied.
"Well which one?"
"The one with the- Hey look! James is back." Camille eyed Carlos suspiciously. She didn't like being left out of things. James sat back down, looking to Carlos, Logan and Kendall skeptically. Camille looked to Dak and Jo. Jo immediately shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know anything." She said honestly.
"I don't know either. It's probably that Tonya chick." Dak said. Camille wasn't buying it.
"Aw, I gotta go pick my sister up from her friend's house." Kendall said as he looked at his watch. Logan came into realization that he forgot to remind Kendall.
"Yeah, we'll catch you guys later." Logan said.
"I'll definitely be catching you later Logan Mitchell." Camille said. Logan sighed. He knew that she would try to get information out of him. She and Kendall were the only two people who knew how to break him. Logan held his head down and nodded. Kendall and Logan said their goodbyes to their friends and drove off.

"What friend is this?" Logan asked as they drove.
"I don't know; some girl named Alex." Kendall pulled into a driveway and gasped when he saw Katie on the porch with some boy, smiling and laughing. Kendall quickly jumped out of the car and went up to the porch. "Katie!" She flinched. Kendall put his arm between the two and moved Katie far away from the boy.
"Who the hell are you!?" Kendall said to the boy.
"Uhm… Alex."
"Kendall, what are you doing!?" Katie exclaimed. Logan jumped out of the car and ran up to the scene.
"The better question is: What are you doing?" Kendall spat.
"Well, I was hanging out with my friend Alex, until you came outa nowhere, yelling for no reason!"
"Well, you don't need to be- What the-! Are you wearing makeup!?"
"Oh, my god Kendall." Katie was now feeling more embarrassed than ever. She put her face in her hands.
"C'mon, we're going home." Kendall gave Alex the evil eye as he said this. Logan found it funny and adorable that Kendall was all protective of Katie. He did think that Kendall was overacting though.
"Does mom know you over here with a boy?"
"Well, she did tell you to come pick me up from here."
"I don't need your sass, young lady. Let's go." Kendall grabbed her arm and pulled her to the car. Katie snatched her arm away once they got to the car. She angrily climbed into the backseat and crossed her arms. Logan got into the car as well. Kendall was still outside of the car, threatening Alex with hand motions.
"Don't hate your brother forever, okay? Kendall's just being an idiot because he loves you." Logan assured Katie. She only grunted in response. Kendall got back into the car.
"And, don't think I'm not telling mom."
"Telling her what? She already knows! She brought me here!"
"Well, I'm grounding you. You're grounded."
"You can't ground me."
"Nope, don't talk. You're grounded."
"Ugh!"
Katie put her face in the seat and didn't say another word. It was only because she didn't want Kendall to talk to her anymore.
"Kendall, you're overreacting." Logan said.
"I'm not overreacting. Boys are dirty and gross! She's too young for this."
"You're a boy, Kendall."
"No, I'm a man." Logan rolled his eyes.
"C'mon, she's a teenager. It was bound to happen sooner or later." Logan explained.
"She's not a teenager."
"She's 15." Kendall came into realization. His little sister was 15. Kendall gasped.
"Which makes it worse! I know the things that went through my head when I was fifteen!"
"Not everyone is you, Kendall.
"Could you stop talking about me like I'm not here? Thanks." Katie interrupted.
"Shh! You're grounded."
"You're grounded!"
"Don't you talk to me like that!"
"Just stay out of my life!" Katie said as she jumped out of the car. They were in the Knight driveway. She quickly ran inside.
