5th and final chapter! I hope you guys like it :)
Jo's POV
I sat there, just sat there looking up at the ceiling, my mascara stinging my eyes, which was the least of my problems. He can't find out, and I don't want him to find out. But Kendall deserves so much more than that, how am I supposed to look him in the eye when he comes home. How am I supposed to tell him that the man who has my virginity is his best friend, who he trusts?
I heard at knock at the door, probably Steph, or Logan. I wiped my eyes and got up and answered the door, and to my surprise neither of them was standing there. It was Carlos
"Carlos" I asked surprised
"May I come in" he asked
I let him in and we just stood there.
"Is there something wrong, Steph and Logan are worried about you?" He said with no expression what so ever
"Um, it's nothing, it's nothing Carlos"
"Would you rather me send Stephanie in here, or Logan maybe?"
"No, no really its fine tell them I'm just dandy." I slumped down on the wall and to the floor once again. Carlos joined me
"Look Jo, I know we aren't exactly best friends, but I'm willing to listen if you have a problem, I'm not going to judge you if that's what you're afraid of." He sounded sincere.
I sighed. "You promise you won't"
He nodded
"Ok, Kendall and I as you know have been dating for a year know."
"Uh-huh"
"And you've probably noticed we've been fighting a lot and haven't been seeing eye-to-eye on most things."
"Oh yeah" he smirked
"And…..and…..and…." the tears came again; I didn't want to say anymore. He put his arm around me.
"It's ok, look Kendall's one of my best friends Jo and he really cares about you, you know that right?"
"Yeah I do!" I bawled. "It's not fair, I try so hard to make our relationship work, I look past our differences and tell myself I love him, but-but..."
"Logan is getting in the way of that?" he asked
I calmed down just a bit, my voice still a little shaky. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh c'mon, Logan and I go way back, we've been best friends for so long, we're like brothers, did you know he's loved you since the first time he saw you, he tells me every day about how beautiful you are and what a sweetheart you are and how he wishes you were his,"
"If he had always felt that way… why didn't he tell me before?"
"Well that's a touchy subject Jo, we all knew that Kendall fell hard for you, but so did Logan, and he never told you because he knew Kendall liked you and I guess his friendship with Kendall was more important to him than anything."
"How do you know?"
"He told me, the moment he saw you, Logan and I were racing down to the pool when we stopped in the lobby and saw you, a lost, bright-eyed cutie who came from North Carolina to make it big in Hollywood. He said to me, "Wow, have you ever seen anything more beautiful" and then I said "Yeah she's really cute" and he looked at me as if I were some sort of freak and said "No man, you don't understand, I love that girl, and you're looking at the future Mrs. Logan Mitchell"
I smiled slightly. "He-he really said that?"
"Yup, he wouldn't stop talking about you the entire rest of the day, he said he was too scared to talk to you, and after a week of trying to get him to talk to you, he came home and found that Kendall had already asked you out, I don't mean to make you feel bad Jo, but I've never seen him so heart-broken and it broke my heart to see my best friend upset, Kendall's also one of my best friends but Logan and I are as close as two guys can get."
"If I had known, If I had known…" my voice rising, I got up. "If I had known he felt that way, I never would have gone for Kendall; He's unorganized, eats like a pig and doesn't give a crap about my feelings. Why had I been so stupid to go for him, well you know what I can't deal with this anymore, I'll scream it to all of L.A. if I have to, I LOVE LOGAN MITCHELL, and there's nothing anyone can say to change that!"
"WHAT!" I heard a familiar voice scream from behind me. Realizing I had let the door open
Kendall's POV
I was shaking down to my toes with anger.
"What did you just say?" I approached her
She turned pale quick. "Kendall, I-I didn't I didn't…"
"You didn't what, didn't think I would come home eventually, didn't think to close the door before you had your little "conversation" with Carlos, didn't think I wouldn't come back to see you WHAT JO WHAT DIDN'T YOU THINK!" I yelled fighting back my tears
"I-I didn't think you would come home so early."
"You know what else you didn't think, THAT I WOULDN'T FIND OUT. What the hell do you mean I don't give a crap about what you feel, how could you say those things! How could you say I don't care about you Jo, how could you say you love someone else and that my best friend, MY BEST FRIEND LOGAN, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED."
She turned away from me and held her eyes shut.
"Did you have sex with him?" I said in almost a whisper and looked her dead in the eye
No answer.
"DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH HIM, Did you screw around with Logan while I was gone, TELL ME THE TRUTH." I yelled, tears slowly escaping.
She nodded and started to cry.
I stormed out of the apartment and headed straight for mine. I'm settling this once and for all.
Jo's POV
I lost feeling in my legs and fell to the ground crying.
"Jo, Jo c'mon we have to go." Carlos said picking me up
"Did you see the look on his face" I said
"I understand sweetheart, but we have to go back to my apartment, trust me on this when I say Kendall's got a horrible temper…. He's going to hurt Logan we have to go."
We ran back to the apartment. It was a terrible sight to see. Kendall was cornering Logan while Stephanie was trying to protect him with that tiny frame of hers.
"YOU NO GOOD DIRTY ROTTEN SON OF A BITCH." He yelled at Logan
"Kendall, stop you're going to hurt him!" Stephanie yelled at him
"Stay out of this Steph, this has nothing to do with you" he said to her
Carlos approached him and tried to pull him away from Logan. "Kendall Stephanie's right calm down!"
"SHUT UP ALRIGHT CARLOS, you knew about this, this little fling between Logan and Jo and you never told me, how could you not tell me am I not your best friend too!" he snapped at Carlos
"Kendall, you got to understand"
"Understand this, if anything like this ever happened to you I would tell you right away, but you betrayed me Carlos why would protect him, does everyone favor Logan over me?"
"Well Kendall, you do have quiet a temper." Logan said under his breath
"Oh I'll show you how bad my temper can get." He cornered Logan and brought him right to the ground; A huge brawl of punches and kicks, but only from Kendall thrown at Logan.
"Kendall, stop you're hurting him." Carlos and Stephanie yelled trying to get him off.
James and Dak walked into the chaos.
"James don't just stand there help me!" Carlos yelled. James was a strong guy and pulled Kendall right off and pinned him to the wall. Kendall was pretty banged up but Logan had a black eye and a severe bloody nose. Stephanie helped him up and I ran to comfort him
"What's going on?" James said baffled still holding onto Kendall.
"I'll tell you what's going on, one of your best friends is a two-timing dog." He barked at Logan
"What are you talking about?"
"James, I cheated on Kendall, with Logan." I answered for him
He starred at me wide-eyed. "I'm sorry Jo; I think I heard you wrong."
"No you didn't, I was a horrible person and hurt so many people, especially you Kendall." I went up to him and gave the sign to James to let go of him. He walked up to me slowly. His lip was slightly cut, but the thing that looked the worst was his face when he waited for what I had to say. There we were, confrontation time.
"Kendall, please understand, you are a wonderful boyfriend and a great guy."
"That's not what you said about 15 minutes ago." He muttered
"Baby I'm sorry I was angry."
"Don't baby me Jo, you cheated on me, you've hurt me on so many levels that I don't think you understand, do you know I came home on my own, if my mom knew I was home this early, she would freak, I came home because I missed you and because I wanted to tell you that…"
"Tell me what?"
"That I love you."
He's never said that to me before. Never has he ever said those three powerful words to me.
"Kendall, I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way." I said quietly
"Great, that's exactly what I wanted to hear, we're done, and I'm out of here." He walked towards the door.
"Kendall, c'mon give a chance to explain." Dak said blocking off the door.
Kendall knew he couldn't say no to Dak, because in a battle between Dak and Kendall, Dak would always win so there was no use arguing.
"Thanks Dak, Kendall, I can't say that I love you if I don't mean it. Please understand that I want to love you so badly, but the truth is I don't. No more lies here on. Yes when you left, I was upset and lonely and Logan was there for me, I guess I felt so comfortable with him; I wanted to feel that way forever. Kendall lets face it, we aren't compatible, we knew we weren't from the beginning, can you honestly say that we are?"
"Well no, but that doesn't give you an excuse to cheat on me."
"You're right and I'm so, so, so sorry! Kendall I'm sorrier than you can imagine, I never wanted to hurt you like this, because I really do care about you but you and I both knew that this relationship wouldn't last forever."
Kendall just stood there, and said nothing, he looked at the floor.
"Kendall look, you and Jo are better off being friends, you guys have a great relationship, just not a romantic one. Did you know that Logan's loved her for a long time, and he backed off her because he knew you liked her?" Carlos said
"Is that true?" he asked Logan.
"Well yeah." Logan finally spoke, getting up. His face was covered in bruises and dried blood and used all the strength he had left to walk up to Kendall.
"Buddy, you know that you're one of my best friends and that I would never hurt you either. But I guess my emotions got the best of me and we just… Look I am so sorry, and after today I will back off of Jo, I wont even talk to her or look at her I promise because we've been friends for so long and our friendship man is so important to me."
He turned to me. "I'm sorry Jo!" it was his turn to head for the door.
"Now hold on just a minute." James said holding Logan back.
"Kendall you say you love Jo right?" he asked him
"Yeah I do, so much" Kendall answered
" Well if you really love her then you would want her to be happy, let's face dude you and Jo are always fighting and aren't happy together, Logan makes her happy and they care for each other, you can't honestly believe they would do this to you on purpose?"
"No, but-but, I just"
"You-you just beat the crap out of your best friend, I mean look at him Kendall, you could have killed him, and over what a girl?" James yelled at him. "You also said she hurt you well you just hurt her twice as bad by screaming at her for innocently loving someone and maiming Logan."
Kendall's POV
I couldn't think of anything else to say. I just stood there feeling like the world's biggest asshole. James was right; I hurt her more than she hurt me. I wasn't being fair to both of them; I can't believe I got so worked up over something I knew was coming.
"James you're right, Logan now its my turn to apologize, I'm sorry buddy that I hurt you, mentally and physically, you're my best bud and I promised myself that I would never let a girl come between any of our friendships, I was a jerk, an asshole any other word you can think of, are we cool?" I held out my hand
He looked at the ground and then back at me. "You forgot douche bag" he said smiling
I chuckled "Thanks bro" I pulled him in for a hug
"Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow" he said backing away
"Sorry, dude sorry." I said
"Its ok, it's the good kind of hurt."
"Yay, happy family again" Stephanie said hugging James and Dak
"Except for one thing." I walked up to Jo and Logan and pushed them both together.
"You two belong together, and I give you permission to date, it's perfectly fine with me"
Logan put his arm around my ex-girlfriend. "Are you sure."
"Definitely, but make sure you make her happy, she's truly a prize." I starred at Jo lovingly
"Oh Kendall." She walked up to me and gave me our final hug as a couple and first hug as friends. She kissed me on my cheek
"Hey-hey save that love for you're new boyfriend." I laughed pushing her towards Logan.
She laughed and embraced Logan, cautious not to hurt him.
"C'mon guys lets let the lovebirds have their space." Dak said
We all left the apartment. I was the last one out and saw Logan and Jo share a kiss, while she wiped the blood off of Logan's face. I felt happy for them but also empty that I didn't have her around anymore. It's going to take sometime to get used to. But being single's great, I'm going to enjoy it while I can. Suddenly I felt someone bump into me.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." Said a brunette about 5'5, very pretty.
"Um, its fine hey I'm Kendall." I reached out my hand to her. She shook it and smiled at me
"Hey I'm Candy I just moved here."
"Well welcome to the Palm Woods, are you lost or something?" I asked
"Um yeah do you think you could help me find my room if you don't mind." She said handing me a piece of paper.
Room 8H, that's the highest level
"I'd be happy to" I offered her my elbow and we linked arms. Maybe being single isn't so great after all.
