Chapter 7: It Was My Problem
A/N: So, I hope for those of you that have been reading my story are not mad at me for taking forever to update. I was going to update on Halloween night but long story short I had no time on my hands….sorry guys. Also for those of you who couldn't wait and decided to stuff your face full of candy on Halloween night may I wish you guys luck at your next dentist appointment. My other reason for updating so late was probably due to writer's block once again…So on behalf that I did not update I'll try to make this chapter as long as I can…I also realized that I did not put a disclaimer in the previous chapter…which scares me lol.
Disclaimer: I am happy to announce that there is definitely a new episode of Big Time Rush so hang in there guys…I also decided to quit my vocal lessons and try Hip-Hop dancing maybe be like Big Time Rush's backup dancer or something…I tell ya I can do a mean moon walk and other stuff…..Sadly I do not own Big Time Rush, if I did then well heck they'd have more episodes of BTR and maybe a bit more concerts..Don't want to over exhaust the boys now do we.
Watching me, wanting me; I can feel you pull me down; Fearing you... loving you
I won't let you pull me down; Haunted-Evanescence
Flashback
Little Logan Mitchell was sitting in the couch swinging his feet back and forth in the living room of the Mitchell's house. His dad was in the kitchen washing dishes as his wife had left to go run some errands. The ignition was heard from outside as Mrs. Mitchell turned on the car, then faintly but surely the car noise was heard leaving the driveway.
Logan was observing his living room looking at the photos of his parents when they were younger and other photos of them at parties. Logan turned in surprise when he heard his dad turn on the water faucet to start washing dishes.
As Logan got up, his small feet carried him to the kitchen where his dad was at washing the dishes. "Hi Daddy." Logan's neck went as far up as he could get it to so he could see his father's reaction of him. "Logan, why are you in the kitchen?" Logan's father wasn't the type of person to not spend time with his son, he was just caught up with work that his wife had left him to do. Not to mention that he works night times and he hardly got any rest that day.
"Her Logan, try to see what's on maybe the Power Ranger's are on." Logan's eyes just stared straight to the remote, he didn't know how to use it since he hardly watched T.V. he would just either study or read a book.
Logan's fingers curled in contact with the remote and he took it confused. As Logan waddled back to the living room and sat back down in his regular spot as before, he looked at the remote wondering how it worked.
"Let's See…DADDY THE T.V. WON'T WORK!" Logan was pointing the remote on the screen and waiting to see if anything happened. He got more frustrated when the T.V. did not turn on the way he wanted to. He saw his parents turn it on for him before and pictures came on the screen, why didn't it happen for him?
Logan's father walked in from the kitchen and saw his son just sitting there pointing the remote at the T.V. with frustration in his eyes. The scene made him chuckle because he had forgotten to show his son how to turn it on, he wasn't one of those kids that spend most of their time watching T.V. on the weekends.
"Here Logan let me help you", "Daddy the T.V. doesn't like me." Mr. Mitchell chuckled again and realized Logan was staring at him more confused than he already was. "It's because when you turn on the T.V. you need to push the big red button here that says "on" Logan, if you don't do that then nothing comes on the T.V."
With the press of the button Mr. Mitchell turned on the screen of the T.V. and Logan was staring at it in awe. "When you're going to change the channel Logan, you press these numbers." Mr. Mitchell's fingers went straight to the numbers on the buttons.
"Ok Daddy, I think I know now", Logan reached out his hands in attempt to grab the remote from his father. "Ok sport, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me to teach you anything else", with that Mr. Mitchell went off to the kitchen to finish the dishes.
Logan was observing the remote in fascination as what else the remote can do, he read tons of words on the remote he didn't know what most of them were for, but his curiosity got the better of him and he changed the channel by pressing what his dad told him to do.
On the screen a character appeared with red hair like he was electrocuted, he had a red nose and wore white make up. Logan was just staring at the person on the screen as he smiled and jumped. Logan then tried to change the channel to try to find the channel with Power Ranger's on, but instead he accidentally had hired the volume.
Once the volume hit max the red nosed person got closer to the television screen. Logan, still trying to figure how to lower the volume didn't realize that the person on the screen had changed his appearance.
As little Logan looked up to try to fix the volume the character in the screen of the television screamed out an evil maniacal laughter and his teeth started to get pointy and his eyes screamed murder.
The sound of the evil laughter of the clown was loud enough for Logan's dad to hear. The sound of the plate smashing on the floor made Logan drop the remote as he screamed in terror of the crazed clown on the television screen.
"Logan, are you ok?" Logan's father picked up the remote and tried to turn the volume down, but he soon realized that the batteries were on the floor. He picked them up and tried as fast as he can to put them on. Finally, successful he pointed the remote to the television screen and lowered the volume and changed it to the Power Rangers.
Logan was now traumatized and on the floor sitting up, he was staring at the wall afraid to say anything at all. Mr. Mitchell saw that his son started to bring up tears, immediately Mr. Mitchell's father instincts kicked in and he grabbed Logan and hugged him in an embrace. Mr. Mitchell realized that Logan had placed an arm on his back, letting Mr. Mitchell know that he was fine.
Even though Logan tried to convince his dad that he was fine, his sobs gave away his scare. Logan embraced Mr. Mitchell even harder saying "Make it go away daddy", Mr. Mitchell's eyes stared directly to the floor opposite of Logan as he felt utterly guilty for leaving Logan alone. "Don't worry Logie Daddy made him go away".
End Flashback
Carlos's POV:
Hearing Logan tell his story must have bought back horrific memories, because tears streamed across his face when he kept on repeating "Make it go away". I immediately grabbed a hold of him and I just brushed my hand on his hair.
As much as it felt good for Logan to be this close to me, it felt so awful because he was shaking as he cried. I hated seeing Logan like this, but I knew as his best friend that I would protect him.
I wanted to say something, anything to make him stop crying to forget that horrifying moment, but I had nothing to say. What could I say? To man up to stop crying I couldn't do that to Logan, he told me this for a reason. So I did what was best for Logan, I just held him. "I…I..don't know what to say Logie".
"I'm sorry; I didn't know that you were terrified of clowns, why didn't you tell us…me anything earlier?" Logan stopped crying, but you could tell that he was crying because of the dried up tears in his face and his trembling never seized to stop.
"I-I-I w-w-was a-" I placed a finger on his lips, I didn't want him to continue because I knew what was coming and I wanted him to tell me once he stopped shaking. "Logan, you don't have to explain I understand, we all have our phobias, but how are we going to know if you don't tell us. Look if you were afraid that we would make fun of you for being afraid, you're wrong Logie."
Logan looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't let it out; I just got up and gave him my arm. "Come on let's get you something to eat, you haven't eaten".
Logan grabbed my hand and we walked to the kitchen to see what we could find.
That night Logan and I decided to sleep in the same room, incase Logan had nightmares and screamed in the middle of the night I would be there and take care of him. "Carlos, you don't have to do this", Logan was fluffing his pillow and placing it on the bed that was right next to the window. "No, Logie I want to and if you try to make me leave I won't talk to you anymore".
With that Logan smile "Thanks, but please don't tell Kendall or James…I-I-m still afraid that they'll-" "They won't if you just tell them, what happens if they want to go to the circus tomorrow, you're going to have to tell them Logan." "I know, but please I'll tell them when the time is right, just don't tell them Carlos".
I couldn't help it he was using those looks on me, I didn't want to lie to my other best friends, keeping this from them would drive me crazy in the inside.
A/N: I kind of sort of did and didn't like this chapter only because of my previous writer's block. However, I hope you guys that are reading can review and tell me how this story is progressing to your likings k, my title has to do with a movie I think its kind of obvious don't you think, also I still haven't decided on the O/C thing yet if anyone wants to have their character in the story just put your (Name:), (Age:), (And maybe like pick your talent your best one, like something you can do in a ring in front of people idk lol go nuts) Tell me a little something about yourself, like your I don't know preppy, or emo or you'd like your character to be emo, or happy, sad anything. Like I said anything goes, also the deadline is until I reach chapter 9 so I think that should hopefully be enough time, if not please tell me xD. Also be aware that your character will have an important part in the story…well I think that's it review that's all I can say for now.
