Chapter 2

Logan's P.O.V

I cry on the bed that James gave me. I can't believe what just happened. I can't believe I saw Jett making out with another guy. I thought he loved me. I thought I meant so much to him. I mean he brought me tickets to come down and see him. How could he do this to me? He said the long distance between us will never break us apart. He lied.

I cry into the pillow and wrap myself into a ball. It's just not fair. Why me? Why did I deserve this? I sob and cry and sob again.

Then I met James. He is so nice and everything. He even gave me a place to stay until I can be back home. Home, I don't have a home anymore. I never did. My father he…he doesn't care about me. That's why he didn't care about me when I told him I was leaving. He just threw a bottle at me and told me never to come back. I cry and wipe the tears away. I hold onto the locket around my neck. The only thing I have left of my mom.

I shake my head from the thoughts. I have to get up and do something. What can I do to make it up to them? I can make them a great dinner! I'm good at that. I mean I'll have to use their food. I hope they won't mind as long as I buy some more later. I walk to the kitchen and open the cabinets and I take out the food that I need. I take out chicken, corn, mash potatoes, and gravy from the cabinet and fridge. I start to cook the food while setting the table and everything.

I am almost done cooking when a woman walks into the room. She looks taken aback and I look down at the ground. I mean I am invading her house and now her food. Maybe this was a bad idea. Stupid, stupid Logan, you shouldn't have stayed. You should have just left when you could. I give the woman with brown hair a sad look and she continues to give me a startled look.

"And who are you, sweetie," She asks.

"Logan, ma'am," I reply politely.

"May I ask what you are doing," She walks up to me and looks at all the food I am making.

"Well I thought since I should deem myself as useful I am making dinner. Don't worry I'll go out and buy more ingredients for you."

"Oh, you are so sweet," The woman says to me, "You didn't have to do this."

"I know but I wanted to," I reply with a smile.

"Well that is really nice of you," She smiles back at me, "do you need any help?"

"No, I'm good," I reply as I stir the mash potatoes, "I got it."

"Okay sweetie, well if you need anything don't be afraid to ask," She states.

"I will," I reply.

She walks away and I continue to cook, "Something smells good," I turn to see Carlos, who introduced himself to me.

"You can say that again," I turn to see the blond hair guy, I don't know his name yet.

"I made you guys dinner," I states as I place stuff on plates.

"Logan," I see James walk up to me and lean on the counter, "You didn't have to do that."

"I wanted to," I state as I place plates on the table.

"Well thanks," James smiles at me and my heart flutters.

James, the thought of him just makes my heart beat faster and faster. When I first saw him, I thought I was struck by a truck because he is just so beautiful. I mean I thought Jett was hot but James, he is like a god. I know it's too early to fall in love again but I think I can make this one exception. But what if James does the same thing. I don't even know this guy. He could be a rapist or something and I just said yes to stay at his apartment, well that woman's apartment. So maybe I might be exaggerating a bit.

We gather around the table and I notice a little girl, "Who's this," She asks.

"This is Logan, he's going to be living with us for a while," James states.

"Are you James's boyfriend," I blush madly and look down at my hands.

"No Katie he's not my boyfriend," I look up at James who is glaring at Katie.

"Well then you like him," I look over at James who is also blushing, "Why else would you invite a stranger into the house."

"Katie shut up," James like me?

"It's only the truth," Katie replies with a shrug.

"Katie leave our poor guest alone," the woman says, "don't mind her. Well I'm Jenifer, but the boys call me Mama Knight," Mama Knight says.

"I'm Kendall," The blond states.

"And you know me and Carlos," James states.

"It's nice to meet all of you," I state with a smile.

"Well I'm digging into this delicious food," Carlos states as he starts to shove food into his mouth.

I smile and look down at my food. I grab my fork and start to dig in. The wonderful taste makes me sigh in content.

"So, Logan," Kendall starts, "Where are you from?"

"Texas," I state as I shove a forkful of chicken into my mouth.

"That's cool," Kendall says, "Nice and warm there."

"Yeah," I say with a smile, "I like it. Kinda cold here."

"Just a lot," Kendall laughs.

"So, I heard you got dumped," Carlos says.

James smacks Carlos on the back of the head and Carlos looks at him in shock. I look down at my hands and bite my lip. I hear James bickering with Carlos and Carlos apologizing to me but I just zone out.

"Logan," James asks and I look at him,

"Sorry, I, I should go," I get up and start to walk away.

I make it to the door when a hand catches my wrist. I look at James with tears in my eyes and he looks at me with sad ones. I try to remove my wrist but James tightens his grip the more I tug.

"Please don't leave," James says.

"I don't want to bother you guys," I state, "Besides you don't even know me."

"I know but," I see James trying to catch words from midair, "I want you to stay. So, I can get to know you."

"Oh god," I groan, "Well, I guess it's better than the streets."

"True," James smiles and my whole body heats up, "well, want to finish dinner?"

"Oh, uh, yeah," I say as I wipe the tears from my eyes.

I take a seat again and look at Carlos, "I'm sorry," Carlos says.

"No, it's okay," I say.

"Okay," Carlos mumbles.

After dinner I go to do the dishes. I start to wash the dishes while James comes to me. He takes one of the wet dishes and starts to rub it clean. He then passes it to Kendall who puts it away. I stare at them.

"You guys don't have to help," I state, "I got it."

"I want to help though," James states.

"Yeah me too," Kendall and Carlos say.

"Oh okay," I state and continue to wash the dishes.

I then head to the bedroom with James, "Well that door leads to the bathroom," James states.

"Okay," I reply.

I gather a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I turn around to see James bare chest. I stare in awe at how muscular he is. You can see each and every line on his body. I stare at his v-line and I think I start drooling. I hear a laugh and I snap out of it. I see James laughing at me and I start blushing.

"I'm guessing you like what you see," James says and I gasp.

"Sorry," I race into the bathroom and lock both doors.

I stand with my back to the door and take in a deep breath. Damn James is beautiful. I mean, he is really, really hot. Oh snap out of it Logan. You just got dumped you can't go after guys now. But damn is James so frikin hot. I quickly put my clothes on and walk back into the bedroom. Thankfully James has a shirt on. I sigh in relief.

I wander towards my bed and take a seat on it, "well goodnight," James says as he enters his bed.

"Goodnight," I state as I rest on my bed and cover myself with my blanket.
