Kendall stared up at the ceiling. He'd been doing that ever since Logan had hung up on him, however long ago that was; Kendall had lost track of time, all he could think about was Logan and his head ached as he tried to understand what had happened.

Kendall hadn't cried though. He wanted to and there were moments when he felt like he was close to, but no tears ever came out. Kendall was still in shock.

When Kendall found himself able to move, he slowly sat up and stared across the room. His eyes landed on his cell phone which lay in pieces by the wall. He sighed heavily and walked over to it, dragging his feet as he moved. Kendall stared down at it but left it where it was as he turned and headed out his bedroom door.

As he made his way downstairs, he could hear his mom watching TV in the front room and all the other lights in the house were off. Kendall grabbed his keys from the kitchen and he went to get his coat from the closet, needing to get out the house and clear his head.

"Kendall?" he heard his mother call. "Is that you?"

Kendall paused as he pulled his coat on and he cleared his throat, "Uh, yeah, Mom."

Mrs Knight walked into the hallway and raised her eyebrow at her son, "Where are you going at this hour?"

Kendall turned his face away from her, "Just out."

His mother frowned and grabbed onto his arm to stop him from walking out, "Oh no, you're not getting away with that. Where are you going?"

Kendall ripped his arm from her grasp and glared at her, "Will you just leave me alone?"

"Kendall!" Mrs Knight exclaimed, her eyes wide in shock. She sighed when she saw Kendall's expression go from anger to guilt and then settling on hurt, "Sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. I'm fine. I'm just…I'm going to see Carlos, okay?"

Mrs Knight hesitated for a moment but then nodded her head, "Okay. Does he know you're coming?"

Kendall quickly nodded in response, "Yeah."

"Alright, but don't stay too late, okay? And be careful."

"Okay."

Mrs Knight sighed again and then wrapped her arms around her son, giving him a hug. She could tell that he was upset, but she wasn't going to force it out of him.

She pulled back and gave him a soft smile. She titled his head forward and gently kissed his forehead before letting him go.

Kendall hurried out to his car and gave his mother a quick wave as he drove off when he saw her watching him from the doorway.

Kendall hadn't planned on going to see Carlos, knowing that the Latino was probably already in bed. But he needed someone to talk to; he needed his best friend, and since James still didn't know about Kendall's relationship with Logan, Kendall needed Carlos.

Kendall stood in front of the Garcia house and stared up at Carlos' bedroom window. The house was dark but it didn't stop him from finding a couple of small stones and tossing them up at the window.

A couple of minutes later, the curtains were pulled back and Kendall saw Carlos' sleepy face frowning down at him. Carlos opened the window and rubbed at his eyes as he poked his head out.

"Kendall? What are you doing here?"

"I—I need you…Uh, I need to talk to you. Please, Carlos."

Carlos nodded slowly, "Go 'round the back. I'll let you in."

Kendall waited impatiently by the back door, rocking on the balls of his feet. The door finally opened and Carlos let him walk in.

It was quiet as Carlos just stared at Kendall, waiting for him to talk, and Kendall awkwardly shuffled his feet as he stared down at the floor.

"What did you want to talk about?" Carlos asked when he realised that Kendall probably wasn't going to say anything.

Kendall finally looked up at Carlos and the Latino gasped when he saw Kendall's tear-filled eyes.

"Dude, what's wrong?"

"L-Logan," Kendall breathed.

"Is he…Is he okay?"

Kendall squeezed his eyes shut and he took a breath before opening them again, seeing Carlos looking up at him with wide, caring eyes.

"He broke up with me," Kendall admitted, his voice cracking and tears finally slipping from his eyes.

Carlos gasped again and watched as Kendall fell apart in front of his eyes. Saying it out loud had somehow made it seem more real for Kendall and the tears just kept coming. Carlos rushed forward and wrapped his arms around his best friend, holding him tight. Kendall clung to him, burying his face in the boy's neck as his body shook while he sobbed.

"Kendall…Kendall, let's go upstairs, okay?" Carlos suggested, not wanting his parents to come down and find them.

Kendall nodded slowly and backed away from Carlos. He desperately tried to wipe away his tears, feeling pathetic for letting himself cry. Carlos grabbed Kendall's hand and led him upstairs, shutting themselves in Carlos' room.

"I'm sorry," Kendall mumbled as he sat on Carlos' bed, the other boy sitting close to his side.

"Don't be," Carlos told him. "You're upset. Do you want to talk about it?"

"I—I don't know what to say."

"Why did he break up with you? I thought you said you loved each other."

Kendall nodded, "I thought we did. T-Turns out that I love him more than he loves me. I—I'm not worth it."

"Worth what?"

"He doesn't want a long distance relationship."

"But he was supposed to be coming to stay this week…"

Kendall sighed, "I know. But he didn't want to have to say goodbye again."

Carlos frowned in confusion, "Huh? That makes no sense…Give me your phone, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind."

Kendall quickly shook his head, "No, you're not. And anyway, I broke my phone."

"How?"

"I got angry…I threw it at the wall."

Kendall remembered how he had felt at that moment and the emotion came flooding back to him. He buried his face in his hands and cried into his palms.

"Oh Kendall," Carlos sighed, rubbing his back and trying to comfort him.

"What am I gonna do, Carlos?"

"I, uh…I don't know," Carlos admitted, wishing that he was better at relationship advice. "Maybe you should try and forget about him?"

"I can't."

"That's what you said about Hannah though…and you did get over her."

"But Logan isn't Hannah. I haven't felt like this about anyone before. I honestly thought that he was the one."

"Well, I guess he wasn't," Carlos replied nervously. "Some things just don't work out the way your hope…Hey, how about me and James take you out tomorrow? We'll help you take your mind off him. We'll see a movie or go bowling or something."

"Seriously?" Kendall scoffed. "You think bowling will help me forget about him?"

Carlos shrugged, "I'm just trying to help, man. I'm not gonna let you sit at home all day, feeling sorry for yourself."

"Who said I was gonna do that?"

"I know you. You'd lie in bed all day or lie in front of the TV. I'm not gonna let you do that. You've got to go on with your life. Put Logan behind you."

"It's not that easy," Kendall frowned.

"I know. It'll be hard, but you can do it. You've got me and James, and your mom and Katie. You've got people who love you and we'll look after you. Don't worry. I believe in you, man."

Kendall tried to control his breathing and calm down while he dried his eyes on the sleeve of his hoodie. He tried to force a smile on his face and Carlos smiled sadly back at him, pulling him in for another hug.

It felt weird. Carlos wasn't used to having to comfort Kendall. Kendall was the leader; he was strong and always knew how to fix things but now he looked weak and small in Carlos arms. Carlos had never seen him so upset, not even when Hannah broke up with him. He sighed and tightened his hold around Kendall, hating to see him so sad.

"I should go," Kendall mumbled as he pulled away from Carlos once he'd calmed down.

"You sure? I don't mind you staying if you need to?"

Kendall shook his head, "Thanks but…my mom's expecting me back."

"Okay then. Well, I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Carlos…" Kendall sighed.

"No, you're not getting out of it. I'll get James and we'll come to yours…What time?"

Kendall shrugged, "Don't care."

"Fine," Carlos said, rolling his eyes. "We'll be over at ten. Make sure you're up and ready to go."

Carlos walked downstairs with Kendall, letting him out the backdoor. He made sure to hug him once more before he left.

"You'll be okay, Kendall," he told him and Kendall just nodded.

Kendall wasn't ready to go when James and Carlos arrived the next morning. In fact, he wasn't even out of bed. Once Mrs Knight told them that Kendall hadn't come out of his room yet, Carlos stormed up the stairs and barged into the room, James close behind him.

Kendall groaned when the door banged open and pulled the covers over his head when Carlos jumped onto his bed and started shaking him.

"Kendall! Get up! Now!"

Kendall just stayed hidden beneath the sheets and Carlos continued to shake him. The Latino looked over at James who was watching in amused and he raised an eyebrow.

"Dude, help me out."

James rolled his eyes and stepped forward, grabbing onto the edge of the sheet and tugging hard. The sheet went falling to the floor and Kendall squeaked in protest. He sat up in bed, looking flustered and unimpressed. He crossed his arms over his chest and glared at his friends.

"I told you to be ready," Carlos reminded him.

"I don't want to go out," Kendall mumbled, causing Carlos to sigh.

James sat down on the other side of Carlos and gave him a sympathetic look, "What's wrong, man?"

Kendall glanced quickly at Carlos and then back at James, "Did Carlos not tell you?"

"He told me about Logan not coming to visit anymore. What happened?"

Kendall sighed, "Nothing."

"Well something must have…especially since you're this upset."

"It was just an argument. I'd rather not talk about it."

James nodded slowly, sharing a concerned look with Carlos. He wrapped an arm around Kendall's shoulders and pulled him against his side.

"Well, we're here to cheer you up. So, get ready and grab your things, we're going to the rink."

"I don't want to."

"But you love the rink," Carlos frowned in confusion.

"I know," Kendall mumbled. "But I really just want to stay home today."

"Tough," James told him. "We're going to the rink. You need to get out your frustration, so come on, jump in the shower…unless you want us to drag you in there."

Kendall groaned and reluctantly got off the bed, slowly shuffling over to his closet and grabbing some clothes.

Kendall took his time in the shower, trying to relax and not get too worked up and upset, he didn't want a repeat of last night; he needed to be strong and deal with it. And Kendall was relaxed…until he got the rink. It was there that he took all of his anger out; sending the puck flying across the ice and slamming both Carlos and James up against the boards multiple times. And they let him the first few times, but then they hit back just as hard.

All three boys came off the ice exhausted and covered in sweat, aching all over and knowing that there were going to be bruises. But Kendall felt slightly more relaxed, he'd been able to get most of the anger out of his system, but he still felt a twinge of hurt when he thought of Logan.

They made their way into the changing rooms so that they could shower and then James drove them back to Kendall's house. Mrs Knight had promised to make them fish sticks tonight in a hope to cheer her son up. She called Kendall into the kitchen while everyone was watching TV and he rolled his eyes as he shuffled through to her.

"What, Mom?"

Mrs Knight frowned and crossed her arms as she leant against the countertop, "What's wrong with you, Kendall? Why are you acting like this?"

Kendall shrugged his shoulders. "I'm fine," he lied.

"Kendall. I'm not stupid. I saw how upset you were last night…and now you're acting like this today. Just tell me. I heard Carlos and James mention Logan…Does it have something to do with him?"

Kendall sighed and his shoulders slumped, "He's not coming anymore."

"Oh…Why not?"

Kendall shrugged again, "He doesn't want to. We—we're not friends anymore."

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry," Mrs Knight smiled sympathetically, walking up to her son and giving him a warm hug. "But I'm sure you two will make up soon."

"I don't know about that."

"Why? What happened?"

Kendall sighed and shook his head, "It doesn't matter anymore."

"Well, I'm always here if you need to talk, okay?"

Kendall forced a small, appreciative smile on his face, "Thanks Mom."

Carlos and James decided to stay that night and keep Kendall company, promising to take him out again the next day. Kendall was grateful that they cared about him, but their fussing was getting a little bit too much – Carlos especially. Kendall took to pretending to be happy just so they would stop worrying about him.

They were at the arcade the next day and Kendall was rolling his eyes in amusement as Carlos and James versed each other in a combat game, shouting at the top of their voices. They were drawing attention to themselves but Kendall didn't care, he was having fun watching them make fools of themselves.

"Kendall?"

Looking back over his shoulder, Kendall smiled when he saw Jo approaching him, "Hey."

The blonde girl smiled in response, "Hey. How are you? I haven't seen you since graduation."

"Oh, you're right. I-I'm okay. How have you been?"

"Good, thanks." She glanced around quickly before adding, "How's Logan?"

Kendall sighed and shook his head, "I don't know…We're not together anymore."

Jo stared up at him in surprise, "What? Why not?"

Kendall shrugged sadly, "I don't know. He just phoned me a couple of days ago."

"Oh Kendall," Jo sighed, feeling sorry for him. "Do you maybe want to go and get a coffee? Do you need to talk about it?"

Kendall glanced back at where James and Carlos were still playing on the arcade games and then he turned back to Jo, giving her a small nod, "I-I'd like that. Do you not have somewhere you need to be though?"

Jo shook her head, "No. Well, I was meant to be meeting some girl friends to go shopping, but I'll just text them and say something important came up."

"You sure? I don't want to ruin your day."

"Kendall, I wouldn't have offered…"

"I guess," Kendall smiled. "I'll, uh, go let the guys know. Hold on."

Kendall hurried back to his friends and told them that he was going to hang with Jo for a bit and that he'd meet them later. Neither of them seemed to mind; Carlos understood and James smirked at Kendall, raising an eyebrow suggestively. Kendall rolled his eyes and reminded him that they were just friends. But it still didn't stop James from wolf-whistling when Jo linked arms with Kendall and led him to the café down the street.

Jo and Kendall slipped into a booth at the back of the café while they enjoyed their coffee. Jo kept glancing at Kendall, wanting to start a conversation about Logan but not wanting to push Kendall. But he could sense her watching him and Kendall let out a sigh.

"He was supposed to be here today."

"He was?"

Kendall nodded, slowly turning his coffee cup in circles on the table as a distraction, "He booked the flight and everything…but then he just ended things. I—I don't know what I did wrong."

Jo heard Kendall's voice crack and could see the tears building up in his eyes. She quickly moved from her side of the table and sat down next to Kendall, grabbing his hand to comfort him.

"Did he say anything?"

"Just that he couldn't do long distance. I'm not worth it."

"Kendall, don't think that!"

"But it's true! He doesn't want to fight for me."

"Have you tried fighting for him? You should try talking to him again, maybe he just got scared."

"I—I, uh, I broke my phone."

"How'd you do that?"

Kendall bit on his bottom lip, "Um, I threw it at the wall."

"Kendall!" Jo groaned. "Well, do you know his number? You can use my phone."

"Well, yes, but—"

Kendall was cut off when Jo thrust her phone into his hand, "No buts. Come on."

Kendall stared at the phone for a moment, "But what am I supposed to say? He doesn't want to be with me. How am I supposed to change his mind?"

"Just tell him how you feel. He loves you too, Kendall."

"I thought he did…"

"He does."

"How do you know? You don't know him."

"But after all you've told me about him, I know he loves you too…and you deserve a proper explanation as to why he's acting like this."

Kendall continued to stare at the phone, trying to work up the nerve to punch in Logan's number. The café was pretty empty, so he didn't have to worry about drawing attention to himself, and Jo was beside him, which was comforting.

He held his breath as he dialled Logan's number, nervously raising the phone to his ear. His face fell as it went straight to voicemail and he just handed it back to Jo.

"It's useless."

"It's not useless. You can't give up, Kendall."

"But it hurts," Kendall mumbled, feeling pathetic. "I just want to forget about him."

Jo sighed and said no more. She just wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in for a hug.

Kendall was kept busy for the rest of the week – his friends made sure of that. James and Carlos would take him to the rink or have game nights, Jo went to the park with him or to see a movie, and even his mother tried to keep him busy by getting him to help with the groceries or to help her with the laundry so that she could ask how his day went.

Kendall loved that they cared, but it didn't help him to not think about Logan. They'd always check on how he was doing and then he'd always remember why they were doing these things. Kendall started to wear a fake smile more often, giving the allusion that he was happy and that he was starting to get over the boy who owned his heart. And it seemed to work.

Kendall was checked up on less often and Logan was barely mentioned. But Kendall still thought about him all the time. He couldn't bring himself to throw out the pictures from his trip but they were still hidden at the bottom of the drawer. Kendall would pull them out occasionally before he went to bed, and he'd stare longingly at Logan's smiling face. He'd go online and beg for Logan's name to appear on his chat list but it never showed. And he'd try to ring Logan's cell again, but he always got the same, disappointing result.

Soon, a week had passed and Kendall hadn't had any other contact with Logan. He finally accepted that he was never going to see the brunette again and decided to stop trying.

"Hey, Honey," Mrs Knight smiled as she walked into the kitchen one morning and found Kendall sitting at the table, chewing at his bland toast with an unimpressed expression. "Hurry up and get ready. Carlos and James will be here soon."

Kendall frowned for a moment, "Why? We didn't make any plans today…"

"Well, they mentioned in the other day and I said you'd go. You need to get out the house for something other than work, sweetie."

"I don't really feel like going to the mall."

Mrs Knight crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "Okay then. But you still need to buy a new phone though…and I was going to give you the money to buy those new skates you wanted too, but if you don't want to go…"

Kendall's eyes widened and he sat upright in excitement, "Really? You were? I-I'll go!"

His mother smiled and grabbed her bag from the counter, searching through it until she found her purse. Kendall's eyes lit up as she handed him the money and he jumped up to give her a big hug.

"Thank you, Mom! Why are you doing this?"

Mrs Knight shrugged, "Can I not treat my son from time to time? And anyway, I had to buy Katie those new games she's been bugging me about, so it's only fair that you get something too."

"This is awesome. Thank you!"

"No problem, sweetie. Now, go and get ready!"

Kendall nodded and hurried upstairs to get dressed before his friends arrived.

When Kendall came back downstairs, Carlos was bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet while he waited and James was sorting out his hair in his handheld mirror. They both grinned when they spotted their blonde best friend and greeted him with a hug.

They were soon ushered into James' car by Mrs Knight, while she told them to be back in time for dinner tonight, and were on their way to the mall.

At first, Carlos and Kendall were forced to follow James around while he went to a bunch of different clothes shops, but they eventually made it to the sports shop and Kendall was eager to get his new skates.

Kendall was at the checkout, ready to pay, when James nudged him in the side.

"Dude, that girl is totally checking you out."

Kendall glanced over in the direction that James was gesturing and, sure enough, a pretty brunette was looking over at them. Kendall caught her eye and the girl immediately blushed and looked away, embarrassed at being caught staring. Kendall watched as she quickly went back to looking at running shoes with her friend.

"Go talk to her," James urged him.

Kendall rolled his eyes, "I'm a bit busy here, man."

James waited impatiently as Kendall went up to the checkout and paid, glancing around the store and trying to spot where Carlos had run off to as soon as they entered. He saw him rummaging through the hockey jerseys and just left him to it, seeing that he wasn't causing any trouble for once.

Once Kendall was free, James quickly steered him in the direction of the two girls.

"James, no."

"Why? Come on, she's cute."

"Yeah, but I don't want a girlfriend right now."

James rolled his eyes, "Who said anything about a girlfriend? You just need a bit of fun. It's been too long for you, man. I'm worried."

"You don't have to worry. I'm fine. Can we just go?"

James shook his head, "Even if you're not interested, her friend's hot. Come on. I'm gonna give her the ol' James Diamond charm."

Kendall groaned as he was pulled across the store and he soon found himself standing in front of the brunette girl. He glanced beside him and saw that James was already flirting with her blonde friend. Kendall rolled his eyes and turned back to the other girl, seeing that she had a small crooked smile on her face.

"Uh, hi. I'm Kendall," he introduced himself, sticking out his hand.

Her smile grew and she shook his hand, "Hey. I'm Victoria."

"Cool, uh, sorry for bothering you. My friend, he—"

"It's okay," Victoria smiled, shyly tucking her lightly curled hair behind her ear. "So, buy anything nice?"

Kendall looked down at his bag before smiled back up at her, "Got some new ice skates."

"Oh, very nice!"

"You like hockey?"

Victoria gave a small nod, "My brother loves it. He watches it all the time, so I know a bit about it. It's pretty good. Do you play?"

"Oh, awesome. I do. I was captain of the school team and I've been accepted to Minnesota University on a Hockey scholarship."

"Oh wow, that's amazing. I'd love to see you play some time…"

"Well, I—"

"Kendall!"

Kendall was suddenly pushed backwards and Carlos stood between him and Victoria. Kendall frowned and rubbed his arm when Carlos had pushed him.

"Dude, what are you doing?" Kendall glared.

"What are you doing?"

"I was just talking to Victoria…"

"Um, is there something wrong?" Victoria asked quietly, looking at Kendall over Carlos' shoulder.

Kendall shook his head, "No, everything's fine."

"We have to go," Carlos said.

"What?" Kendall frowned. "Just give me a minute, okay?"

"How about I give you my number?" Victoria offered with a slight blush. "Y'know, if you ever want to hang out or something?"

Kendall smiled, "Sure. Okay."

"Oh, that reminds me!" Carlos spoke. "You need to buy a new phone…Come on, Kendall."

Kendall shrugged Carlos' hand off him, annoyed, and he turned back to Victoria, accepting the small piece of paper she handed him, "Thanks, I'll call you."

"I'll look forward to it," Victoria grinned.

Carlos shot her a disapproving look and then grabbed James away from the girl that he was talking to and pulled them both out of the shop.

"Carlos, what the fuck, man?" James glared.

"Sorry, we just need to get going. We can't be late for dinner, remember?"

James grumbled under his breath and pulled out his mirror to fix up his hair, "At least I got a date with her before you rudely interrupted."

They started to walk in the direction of the phone shop and Kendall tugged on Carlos' sleeve and pulled him close enough so that he could whisper without James hearing.

"Dude, what was that about?"

Carlos shrugged quickly, "Nothing."

"No, you freaked out when you saw me with her. Why?"

"I just, I don't think you should get into another relationship so soon…"

"Why not? Why can't I move on?"

"What if it's not over with Logan?"

Kendall groaned, glancing at James, happy to see that he was preoccupied with his phone.

"Carlos, it's over. I have no way to reach him. He doesn't want to be with me. I need to get over him. And anyway, I thought you'd be happy that I was talking to a girl."

Carlos blushed lightly, "I told you that I'm fine with it."

"Come on you two," James complained from up ahead.

Kendall and Carlos both realised that they had fallen behind and hurried to catch up with James.

Kendall was quiet on the ride home, too busy sitting in the back messing around with his new phone. James and Carlos were up front and James was getting increasingly annoyed at Carlos for constantly changing the channel.

Kendall was thankful to pull up outside his house, since it finally put an end to his friends' bickering. He pocketed his phone and grabbed his bag before leading the way into the house.

"Mom?" he called, as they all put their bags away and hung up their jackets.

"In the living room, Honey."

Kendall walked into the living room, closely followed by James and Carlos.

"I got the phone, Mom, and I—"

Kendall came to a sudden stop and stared in front of him in shock, his mouth falling open.

"L-Logan?"

The brunette boy bit back a smile from when he stood by Mrs Knight's side, "Hey."

"Oh my God," Kendall gasped.

"I'm so sorry, Kendall," Logan immediately started to apologise as Kendall rushed towards him. "I swear, I didn't mean what I said. My dad, he…"

Logan trailed off as Kendall's arms wrapped around him and he buried his face in Kendall's chest as he hugged back just as hard, taking in the other boy's scent and enjoying his warmth. He desperately grabbed onto Kendall's shirt and could feel tears building up in his eyes; he was finally happy and safe with Kendall.

"How are you here?" Kendall asked, mumbling against the top of Logan's head.

"Your mom…"

Kendall loosened his hold on Logan just so he could glance around the room and he saw the smiling faces of his friends and family.

"Y-You knew? You all knew?"

The three of them nodded and Kendall frowned.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I think you should talk to Logan about it," Mrs Knight suggested and then turned to James and Carlos. "Boys, I made some snicker doodles. How about we go and have some?"

"Yeah!" Carlos cheered and raced James through to the kitchen.

Mrs Knight smiled at the two boys left in the room and then she quietly made her way to the kitchen to make sure that there were some snicker doodles left for everyone else.

Once she had left, Kendall pulled Logan up against his chest again and buried his face in the boy's brown hair. He sighed heavily and tried to get his head around it; to believe that Logan was in his arms right now and that this wasn't just some dream.

"I really am sorry, Kendall."

Kendall pulled back and stared down at Logan, studying his face, "What happened? Why did you do it?"

Logan sighed and led Kendall over to the couch so they could sit down. Logan slowly reached out his hand to grab Kendall's, hoping that it would stop his from shaking.

"My parents found out about us," he explained.

"What? How?"

"My mother, she saw us kissing when you took me home."

"What? But that was ages ago."

"I know," Logan muttered. "And they still haven't got over it. I-I was made to see a therapist, go to church and they watched over me constantly. That…That's why I missed your calls so often. I couldn't talk to you when they could possibly overhear."

Kendall's grip tightened on Logan's hand, "Logan…I'm sorry. But why didn't you tell me? You must have gone through so much."

Logan ran his free hand over his eyes to try and stop any tears from falling, "I didn't want you to worry about me or to blame yourself. I—I just wanted to deal with it myself. I thought I'd be able to handle it until I moved to University…but now that's not happening."

"What do you mean?" Kendall asked after hesitating for a moment.

Tears escaped from Logan's eyes and he desperately tried to dry them up, "I told them that—that we were over. But then they—they found my plane ticket. Kendall, they cut me off. I can't afford med school now. I—I don't know what to do."

Kendall quickly held Logan to his chest, letting him cry into his shirt. He kissed the top of Logan's head and soothingly ran his hands up and down the boy's back.

"I thought you got a grant?"

Logan nodded, "I did. But it's not enough to cover all the fees…and I can't get a loan because my parents earn too much money."

"Why the fuck would they do that? I thought they were desperate for you to be a doctor?"

"They were," Logan sighed. "But they said that I could never be a doctor if I was still 'sick'. They wanted me to stay at home and see a shrink until I'm 'cured'."

"But then how are you here right now?"

"I ran away."

"Logan!"

"What? I can't stay there anymore! They locked me in my room, Kendall! How am I supposed to live like that?"

"They locked you in your room?" Kendall asked in disgust.

Logan nodded, "I had to pick the lock while they were at work. That's why I didn't want your mom telling you that I was coming…I wasn't sure if I would definitely make it."

"Oh, Logan. I'm so sorry. It must have been so horrible. I just wish you'd told me. I-I could have helped."

"I did try and call your cell a few times. But it just went to voicemail."

"Crap. I, uh, I broke it."

Logan nodded with a small smile, "Yeah, your mom told me. I found your home number though and she answered while you were out. She was surprised to hear from me but said that I was still welcome to come and stay, especially when I told her that I'd been having trouble with my parents. But I just wanted to see you. I just, I don't know what I'm gonna do now. I can't keep running away from them."

"I'll help you, okay? You can stay here. We'll sort it out."

"I can't stay here. I don't want to be a burden."

"You won't be a burden. I love you, Logan, and I'm going to look after you."

Logan smiled with a small blush, "I love you too…You know that, right? What happened on the phone…It was all my dad. He forced me to do it. I didn't mean any of it. I never want to lose you."

Kendall nodded, "I believe you. I honestly thought that I had lost you though. You made me think that you didn't love me."

"I never stopped loving you, Kendall. It broke my heart to say that to you. I feel so terrible about it," Logan bowed his head in shame.

Kendall gently raised Logan's head back up and he gave him a soft smile, "Well, we're okay now. We're back together."

Logan nodded happily, "We are. I've missed you so much."

"You know what I haven't done yet?"

"No, what?"

"I haven't kissed you yet."

Logan grinned and quickly swept his tongue over his bottom lip, "You should fix that."

Kendall's smile broadened and he leant forward, softly capturing Logan's lips in his own. Logan's hands slipped to the back of Kendall's neck and he pulled him in closer as their kiss became more desperate; both of them making up for what they've missed.

Logan turned and swung his leg over Kendall's lap, pulling himself up to straddle the blonde's lap. His lips parted and Kendall's tongue slipped into his mouth, exploring and kissing him deeper. Kendall ran his hands down Logan's sides to grip his hips and he moaned lightly when Logan's teeth tugged on his bottom lip.

"I love you so much," Logan whispered against Kendall's lips.

"I love you too. I really do. I'm so glad that you're finally here."

"Me too."

Logan went to move from Kendall's lap, but the blonde held onto his hips with a frown.

"Where are you going?"

"Well, I'm afraid someone's gonna walk in…"

"Oh, so you haven't told my mom about us?"

Logan shook his head, "I wouldn't do that. You should be the one to tell her, when you're ready."

Kendall smiled thankfully and pressed his lips to Logan's, "Thank you. I…I want to tell her."

Logan loosely linked his fingers with Kendall's, "And I'll be here for you when you do."

"I, uh, I want to tell her now."

"Now? Are you sure?"

Kendall nodded, "Yeah. She deserves to know…and I have a feeling that she'll find out soon anyway. I'm gonna struggle to keep my hands off you."

Logan laughed in surprise, "I'll look forward to it."

Kendall nervously got to his feet, grabbing Logan's hand for support as they walked to the kitchen. Kendall paused to take a breath just before entering and Logan gave him a comforting smile, reaching up to gently kiss him and wish him luck.

Kendall reluctantly dropped his boyfriend's hand as they entered the room and he gave James and Carlos a forced smile before walking over to his mother.

"Mom? I, uh…There's something I need to tell you."

Mrs Knight finished putting the plates away and turned to face her son, giving Logan a quick smile, "What is it, Honey?"

Kendall glanced over at James and Carlos, who were sitting at the table, still eating snicker doodles. They were staring at Kendall and Logan, obviously listening in to the conversation. It just made Kendall more nervous; he thought about taking his mother out of the room to tell her, but Carlos already knew and he was going to have to tell James eventually. So he decided to get it over and done with.

"Mom, um, Logan and I…"

Kendall trailed off and he looked to Logan. The brunette boy gave him a smile and rested a supportive hand on his back, reminding him that he was here for him.

"Well, Logan's my boyfriend," Kendall admitted, quickly slipping his hand into Logan's and holding it tight.

"What?" James exclaimed, snicker doodle flying out of his mouth.

But Kendall wasn't bothered by James' reaction; he was too preoccupied with trying to understand why his mother was smiling at him. Mrs Knight stepped forward and hugged her son.

"Thank you for telling me."

Kendall frowned in surprise, "You—You're not mad?"

Mrs Knight stepped back and shook her head, "No, I'm not mad. I, sort of, had a suspicion that something was going on between you two."

"You did?"

"The way you talked about Logan…and I kind of overheard you on the phone one night."

"What?" Kendall panicked.

"It's okay, Kendall. As long as you're happy, then that's all that matters. You are happy, aren't you?"

Kendall turned his head to smile at Logan, "I am."

Mrs Knight smiled, thankful that her son had trusted her enough to tell her about his relationship. She'd been questioning it for a while now and it was good to finally know for sure, even if she was a bit uncomfortable with it at first. But she'd had time to process the idea of it and realised that Kendall really did care about this boy.

Kendall watched in surprise as Mrs Knight gave Logan a hug. Then he finally turned his attention to James and saw that he was glaring at Logan. Kendall sighed and walked across to the table.

"James, are you alright?"

James took his attention away from Logan and stood up to face Kendall, "What the hell, man? You're gay now?"

"James, please calm down?" Carlos begged.

"How are you so calm about this?" James asked the Latino.

"He already knew," Kendall told him. "And before you get pissed, I didn't tell him. He just found out…and I asked him to keep it a secret."

James crossed his arms over his chest, "I'm not surprised. Why would you want people to know?"

"James," Kendall sighed.

"Okay, boys," Mrs Knight interrupted. "That's enough. I don't want any arguing, okay? James, if you're uncomfortable, you can leave."

Kendall stared at James, wondering what he was going to do. James looked around the room at everyone, sighing when he saw how disappointed Carlos looked with him.

"I'm sorry. I—I'll be quiet," he apologised.

Mrs Knight nodded, "Good. Now, why don't you boys go and watch TV or something while I get dinner ready."

They all agreed and made their way into the living room, taking over the couch. Kendall grinned as Carlos immediately started up a conversation with Logan, desperate to get to know him. Kendall wrapped his arm around Logan's shoulders and glanced to the other end of the couch, seeing James sitting there uncomfortably. He caught the brunette's eye and gave him a small smile, James did his best to return it and Kendall was grateful that he was trying.

When James and Carlos left that evening, Kendall was glad that he was finally alone with Logan, especially when his mother left to go and pick up Katie from her friend's house. His lips were immediately on Logan's and Logan let out a small whimper, pressing back just as hard.

"Kendall," he panted against the blonde's lips. "Your mom will be back soon."

"Can I not kiss you until then?"

Logan smirked and rolled his eyes, "Okay. But don't get too carried away."

Kendall nodded, pecking Logan's lips. "Don't worry, I'm saving that for later tonight," he smirked, leaning forward and trailing his lips down Logan's neck.

Logan gasped and let his head drop back, exposing more skin for Kendall to explore. He let out small gasps for breath and licked his lips, losing himself in Kendall's touch.

They jumped apart quickly when they heard the front door slam and hurried to straighten up their clothes before a small, brunette girl came in the room.

"Hey Katie," Kendall smiled.

Katie gave him a nod and then looked at Logan, "So, you're his boyfriend?"

"Uh…"

"How did you know?" Kendall asked in surprise.

"Mom told me," Katie shrugged. "And you don't hide things very well. I saw the pictures in your room."

"Katie! I told you to stop going through my things!"

The girl just laughed and smiled at Logan, who was trying to hold back his own laughter. Kendall didn't look impressed. But then they heard Mrs Knight's voice calling Katie and telling her it was time for bed. Katie groaned and rolled her eyes but not before saying one last thing.

"You should probably find a better place for those photos. Unless you want Mom to see Logan's butt…"

Katie left the room; laughing and Logan's face went bright red. Kendall turned to him and let out an awkward chuckle.

"Sorry."

"Your little sister's seen my butt…"

Kendall couldn't help laughing at the horrified look on Logan's face and he leant forward, his lips brushing against Logan's. "Well, she's very lucky then," he smirked, softly kissing the other boy's lips.

It was then that Mrs Knight came into the room. She froze in the doorway when she spotted them and gasped softly. The boys on the couch quickly parted and looked over at her, blushing lightly.

"Sorry boys," she quickly apologised, looking flustered. "Um, I-I'm off to bed now. Don't stay up too late, alright?"

Kendall nodded, "Yeah, okay. Night, Mom."

Logan smiled shyly, "Good night."

"Good night," Mrs Knight replied before quickly leaving the room.

Kendall waited until he heard his mother's bedroom door close upstairs and then he grinned at Logan, going to kiss him again.

"Kendall, she's only just gone upstairs."

"I know. But she won't be back, don't worry."

Logan hesitated for a moment, but then Kendall started to kiss along his jaw and he couldn't say no to him. He grabbed Kendall by the back of the neck and sealed their lips together. Kendall moaned softly and wrapped his arms around Logan's waist to pull him into his lap. Logan smiled against his lips and ran his hands through Kendall's hair, lightly tugging on it as he straddled the blonde. Kendall's hands slipped down to the back of Logan's jeans and he squeezed gently, causing Logan to roll his hips.

Logan pulled back to catch his breath and Kendall rested his forehead against the boy's shoulder as he panted. Logan gently ran his fingers through Kendall's hair and bit down on his lip as he shifted in Kendall's lap.

"I've missed this," Kendall whispered.

Logan nodded, "Me too. God, I forgot how good it felt."

Kendall grinned and pressed kisses up Logan's neck until he reached his lips again, "We should go upstairs. The door locks."

Logan's cheeks blushed pink again, "But your mom and Katie…"

"They'll be asleep by now. We'll just have to be quiet. Think you can do that?"

"I—I'll try?"

Kendall chuckled and kissed Logan before urging him to get to his feet. Logan squealed as Kendall suddenly swept him up into his arms and took off up the stairs.

"Shush," Kendall reminded him. "You've gotta be quiet."

Logan nodded quickly and covered his mouth with his hand. Kendall dropped Logan onto his bed and quickly shut the door, turning the lock and leaning back against it to grin at the boy who was spread out on his bed.

"Are you coming over here?" Logan asked cheekily. "Or are you just gonna stand and stare?"

Kendall laughed quietly and took a step forward, unbuttoning his shirt as he went. Logan bit down on his lip as he watched Kendall swiftly remove his shirt and undershirt and then he shamelessly let his eyes cast over Kendall's torso. Kendall noticed him staring and climbed onto the bed, straddling Logan's hips and running his hands underneath the brunette's t-shirt as he kissed him again.

Kendall then sat back on Logan's thighs and worked the shirt over the boy's head, quickly tossing it to the floor and returning his hands to Logan's, now bare, chest. Logan gazed up at Kendall, watching as the blonde admired Logan and ran his hands down his chest, grabbing onto the waistband of Logan's jeans.

Logan whined and his hips bucked. He needed Kendall to touch him; it had been far too long. Kendall got the hint and he popped open the button and pulled down the zipper. His hand slipped inside and he beamed when Logan gasped in surprise.

"Oh God," Logan moaned deeply, his eyes clenched shut.

Kendall withdrew his hand for a moment as he worked on tugging Logan's jeans and boxers down his legs. Logan kicked them to the floor and then quickly fought against Kendall's jeans, pushing them down to the blonde's knees and waiting impatiently for Kendall to take them off, along with his boxers.

Kendall returned to his position above Logan, his elbows resting by the boy's head and his legs straddling Logan's hips, and he just stared down at him with an adoring smile. Logan shyly smiled in return and gingerly stroked his hand over Kendall's cheek.

"I love you."

Kendall leant down and nuzzled his nose against Logan's, "I love you too."

"Make love to me, Kendall?"

The blonde didn't need asking twice. He crashed his lips against Logan's and kissed him desperately, while Logan wrapped his legs around Kendall's waist and pressed their bodies together. Kendall gasped as he felt Logan's erection brush against his own and he rolled his hips, seeking friction.

Kendall's hand slipped down and he wrapped it around Logan's cock, stroking him softly and making Logan moan into his mouth. Logan gently bit down on Kendall's lip and then his head fell back with another moan.

"Logan, quiet," Kendall smirked.

Logan squeezed his eyes shut and reluctantly nodded, trying his hardest to make as little noise as possible, not wanting to wake anyone else in the house.

Another gasp escaped from Logan's mouth when he felt Kendall's hand move and his finger slowly run down and across entrance. He pulled his bottom lip between his teeth to keep quiet and watched Kendall bring his fingers to his lips and suck them into his mouth.

Logan relaxed himself and waited to feel Kendall's finger against his entrance again. Kendall carefully slipped it inside and Logan let out a shaky breath, gradually pushing against it and feeling it move further inside of him.

Kendall kissed Logan softly as he added a second finger and began to stretch him. Logan pushed against his fingers as he started to fuck himself on them and he grabbed into Kendall's arm.

"Kendall, do it."

Kendall nodded excitedly and pulled his hand away, wiping it on the bed sheet before spitting in the palm of his hand and using it to slick up his cock.

"I'm sorry; I don't have any lube…"

"It's okay," Logan reassured him. "But we'll have to get some soon."

Kendall nodded with a short laugh, "Definitely."

Logan spread his legs and Kendall positioned himself between them, gripping onto Logan's right leg as he slowly entered him. Logan groaned deeply, covering his mouth with his hand.

When Kendall was finally all the way inside, he replaced Logan's hand with his mouth and kissed the brunette while he got used the feeling of Kendall inside of him.

"You okay?"

Logan nodded, breathing heavily, "You feel amazing."

Kendall smiled and scattered soft kisses down his neck, biting gently on Logan's collarbone, "So do you."

Logan shifted his hips, "You can move now."

Kendall slowly started to thrust his hips, his breath coming out in uneven pants as his cock moved in and out of Logan. The brunette whimpered softly and grasped at Kendall's back as the rhythm sped up and he felt Kendall's balls slapping against his ass.

Suddenly, Logan flipped their positions and Kendall looked up at him in surprise as Logan took control and fucked himself on Kendall's cock. He reached out to touch Logan's erection and he gazed at the brunette through lust-filled eyes as he watched the boy bounce up and down in his lap, his eyes squeezed shut and his mouth hanging open in ecstasy. His other hand moved to grip onto Logan's hip tightly as he thrust his hips up; causing Logan to gasp suddenly, his eyes shooting open.

"Kendall," he moaned quietly.

Kendall licked his lips and bucked his hips again, "Oh, L-Logan."

"Fuck. I-I'm close."

Kendall nodded and moved his hand quicker on Logan's cock, watching as his body started to shake and Kendall had to hold back a moan.

Logan suddenly reached his orgasm, gasping out Kendall's name and his cum splattering against both of their stomachs. He clenched around the blonde's cock and heard him groaned loudly before he felt Kendall release inside of him.

Logan collapsed against Kendall's chest, completely out of breath and covered in sweat. Kendall sighed happily and wrapped his arms around him, kissing the top of his head.

"That was incredible," he panted.

Logan nodded weakly. "Yeah," he breathed.

They laid together in a comfortable silence for a while, just trying to catch their breaths back. Kendall ran his hand down Logan's back and finally broke the silence.

"You want to sleep now? I bet you've had a long day."

Logan nodded again, slowly pushing himself up, "Please."

"Okay," Kendall smiled.

He grabbed his t-shirt off the floor and used it to clean them both off, saying that they'd shower in the morning. Kendall then pulled back the covers and invited Logan inside. Logan lay on his side and pressed his back up against the boy's chest, grabbing his arm and wrapping it around him. Kendall tenderly kissed Logan's neck, wishing him a good night and Logan felt safe in his arms; he felt wanted. He couldn't believe that he was finally here and finally happy. He knew that he would have to deal with his parents at some point, but he ignored that thought for tonight. Tonight he just thought about Kendall and how happy he was to be with the boy he loved.
