Wow the reviews for last chapter came in 10 minutes after I updated! So any ways Carlos is still missing and it's like 11:00pm everyone is James is scared for Carlos, Logan feels like crap for causing all this, and Kendall is just being the leader. Will they find Carlos or is he gone forever?
Logan paced the floor of his room feeling guilty. "Carlos is gone because of me" he said to himself "I shouldn't have said anything. God I feel so bad." It felt like the guilt was eating his insides. He never meant to hurt his best friend and cause all this. Look at what a few words did. It make Carlos cry, James and Kendall fight, Carlos run away, and had everyone look for Carlos at 11:00 at night. He just wanted to tell everyone he was sorry for everything he's done. He let out a sigh and then his phone rang. 'Camille' flashed across the screen. Logan picked it up "Hey it's me" he said casually. "Have any of you found Carlos yet?" she asked a little worried herself. "No, I'm just waiting at home in case he decides to come home. Why?"
"I just wanted to know. Everyone is worried sick about him." Camille said
"Yeah, we are worried too. I caused all this." Logan said tears threatening to fall.
"Logie I told you already, you didn't mean to tell him he's worthless." Logan told everyone who was helping to find Carlos that he called him a 'worthless thing who needed a life' to keep his secret. Camille continued "It doesn't really matter now because what's been said had been said and now instead of blaming yourself, the best thing you can do is when he comes home, give him a hug and promise him you'll never say that ever again."
"And that's what I'm going to do." Logan said determined.
"Good and when he comes home I'm gonna be right there to say hello" Camille said. Logan started to feel a little awkward. "Actually Camille, knowing James, he's probably just going to send Carlos off to bed after a lecture of some kind. But you can see him tomorrow."
"No problem" she said "Call me if you find Carlos."
"Okay" Logan said and they both hung up. Then Logan decided to call Kendall. He dialed the number and waited for him to answer. "Hey man" Kendall said. "Hey Kendall, have you or James found Carlos yet? Everyone at the PalmWoods is worried about him."
"Really?" Kendall asked a little surprised.
"Yeah, Camille just called and said they wanted to see him tomorrow."
"They can if we find him. We might have to call the police soon if we don't find him soon." Kendall said a little uneasy.
"How soon is 'soon'?" Logan asked. It was almost 11:30 he wanted to go to bed without having to sleep with guilt gnawing at his insides and worry on his mind. "Probably two or three hours." Kendall said. "Yeah okay" Logan said and hung up.
Kendall put his phone back in his pocket. "CARLOS!" He called "COME ON BUDDY PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE HERE!" Kendall kept moving the flashlight back and forth hoping, no, praying Carlos would be at the park somewhere. God must've received his prayers, he finally found Carlos sitting against a tree trunk, crying into his hands. Before he went over there he decided to call James. When James answered he tried to stay quiet to keep Carlos from running off. "Dude I found him!" Kendall said full of joy. "Where?" James asked a little antsy. "Doesn't matter just meet us back at the truck in a few minutes." "You got it." James said and they hung up.
Kendall slowly approached Carlos and quietly said "Carlos?" he seemed a little scared. "No Carlos it's okay. It's me, Kendall." Carlos looked up and saw Kendall towering over him. He sniffled "Kendall? What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? I'm trying to find you, that's what I'm doing here." Kendall told him. "Everyone at the PalmWoods is worried sick about you."
"You're lying" Carlos said with tears still running down his face.
"No buddy, they really do miss you." He tried to assure him, but Carlos still wasn't convinced. Carlos turned away. "Come on Carlos you have to come home." Kendall said extending his hand to help him up. "NO!" Carlos shouted "I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THOSE STUPID BACKSTABBERS!" He tried to run away but Kendall grabbed his wrist. "Carlos you can't run away from everything! Come home!" Carlos still refused and started to hit Kendall's hand to make him let go. "I'M NOT GOING BACK!" he yelled. "LET GO!"
"CARLOS NO! YOU HAVE TO COME HOME! EVERYONE IS FREAKIN' WORRIED ABOUT YOU!" Kendall said refusing to let go, no matter how hard Carlos hit him. Carlos started to punch Kendall in the arms and torso. He tried his hardest to ignore the pain Carlos was giving him. Kendall fought back the best he could without hurting his best friend. "STOP LYING TO ME!" Carlos screamed. "CARLOS REALLY EVERYONE WANTS YOU BACK AT THE PALMWOODS!". Carlos was yelling, and screaming and telling Kendall to "stop lying to him". Carlos felt like no one liked him anymore. He felt useless, invisible, a waste of oxygen. Kendall was trying to get Carlos to stop and calm down. "YOU'RE A STUPID LIER! GET OUT OF MY LIFE!" Carlos yelled. Kendall was confused, Carlos was crying when he found him, and now he was yelling at him. Carlos fell to his knees and started to sob. "Carlos, why are you crying?" Kendall asked. He didn't answer back, he just sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed. Kendall stood him up and walked back to the truck supporting Carlos's weight trying to prevent him from falling on the ground.
When they were a few minutes away from the truck James ran to them and asked "Why is he crying?" and attempted to grab Carlos by the shoulders. "DON'T!" Carlos yelled and tried to beat James too, but James was to strong and lifted him into his arms. Carlos continued to weakly hit James's chest and soon broke down again. The feeling of being in James arms made Carlos break down in tears because it was the familiar warmth he always poured his feelings out in. "Why is he crying?" James asked again. Kendall just shrugged and said "He just did it when I told him to come home." "Alright" James said "Let's just go" James carried Carlos back to the truck the remainder of the way.
They got back to the truck James loaded the still sobbing Carlos into the back seat, Kendall took the wheel, and James got in the passenger's seat. They finally got to go home at almost mid-night.
