So I promised a better chapter and I hoped I delivered on that promise. Sorry it took me so long to update, I've been extremely busy with work and sleep. I wanted to start off by thanking every single one of y'all that have read and reviewed. It means so much to get on here and read them. You all make me so happy. I tried to put a lot into this chapter without making it boring. I think I failed at that, but I hope y'all still like it. The twist everyone is dying to happen might just take place. tehehe. ANYWHO, I had this idea that whenever this story ends (hopefully not anytime soon), I want to continue it with side stories. Like, writing about what takes place during the time jumps in this story. Does that make sense? If so, do you think that would be a good idea? I've got some big ideas because I don't want Logan's and Kendall's stories to end anytime soon. Oh, and I think I may bring back Carlos sometime soon. Hmmm. In the mean time continue to read, review and share! THANK YOU. :)
HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND TO THOSE OF YOU WHO CELEBRATE. I hope its a blessed and happy one.
Also, I obviously do not own Big Time Rush or anything in this story. Enjoy!
Logan was up, showered and packed by 7AM. Needless to say, he was a morning person. He was singing something to himself as he turned on the coffee pot, looking around for his mug. He peaked over the counter and laughed quietly at his best friend sleeping on the couch. He was snoring so loud it was a wonder he didn't wake himself up. Logan shrugged and made his way over to the couch, sitting down my Kendall's feet. At first Kendall didn't notice, but as the smell of coffee filled the apartment, he slowly opened his eyes. He smiled when he saw Logan staring at him.
"Good morning not so sleeping beauty," Logan teased as he shook Kendall.
"Yeah well, maybe if I was up and showered I would look as good as you. But unlike you, I'm normal and like to sleep in. What time is it anyway?" he asked looking around at the sun coming through the blinds.
"Almost 7:30."
"What the hell, Logain? It's the first day of spring break and you're waking me up this early? Damn son," Kendall said as he attempted to roll over.
"What? I thought we should get a early start to the day. We have so much to do, but fine… go back to sleep. I'll just take off without you." the smaller boy said as he got off the couch to make him a cup of coffee. He could hear Kendall grumbling from behind him. He won.
"Look Logie! They're holding a karaoke contest!" Kendall said as he ran over to the local coffee shop. The two boys found the beach house they'd be staying at and found out that it was located in a small town by the coast. Logan really liked it, it reminded him of home. Kind of. At this point they had been shopping for groceries and taking in the view for a few hours now and Kendall was getting a tad restless.
"Will you go up and sing?" the blonde boy asked as he pulled Logan along by his wrist.
"No! I don't sing in front of people. Why don't you? I mean, you are carrying around your guitar.." Logan said shrugging Kendall's hand off of him.
"Fine, Mister Party Pooper, I will! I know the PERFECT song to sing." he said with a wink and then disappeared into the shop. He found the list and signed his name, being called up next. There wasn't too many people signed up and he looked quite excited. Logan took a seat outside as Kendall emerged again, guitar in hand.
"Why hello there! Looks like we've got a stranger in these parts." the cute announcer girl said with a wink. "So who do we have singing for us today?"
"Uh…" Logan could tell Kendall was getting a little nervous, looking around the crowd. Even though there were hardly any people signed up to sing, there was a pretty big crowd of people to watch. "My name is Kendall. Kendall Knight."
"Well hey, Mister Knight. What ever shall you be singing?" the girl never took her eyes off Kendall.
"I'll be uh, singing, uh, 'Mine' by Taylor Swift. It's kind of uh, mine and my best friend's song." he said with a shaky smile, trying to find Logan in the crowd of people. Logan couldn't help but give out a laugh, giving away his spot. He smiled when Kendall noticed him and gave him two thumbs up. When Kendall started to strum away on his guitar, the whole place fell silent. The moment he opened his mouth Logan realized he never wanted Kendall to stop. He had never actually heard Kendall sing, but damn, that boy had a beautiful voice. It seemed like the world stopped and everything was perfect. The whole crowd thought the same, Logan thought as he looked around at all the wide eye people.
"You are the best thing, that's ever been miiiiine…" Kendall ended and every single person there broke out in applause. Logan couldn't help but stand up and whistle for his best friend. Deep down he felt so proud of Kendall.
"Well, I think there's no need for more, it looks like we have a winner." the announcer girl said. "Here's a $100 gift card to The Lazy Bean. Don't forget, we're open 24/7! We can't wait to see you again." she said as she handed Kendall his prize. As the blonde made his way off stage, she continued on to talk about how they were holding another contest later that day. But Logan was too busy trying to find Kendall, everyone seemed to have become his best friend and wanted to congratulate him. Finally Logan found him and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"You're so lame sometimes," he said to Kendall.
"Wow, thanks. I'm glad you liked it," the taller boy said, pushing Logan. "Remind me to never do anything for you again."
"Oh come on, you know you were good."
"No, no I wasn't. I was amazing."
Logan rolled his eyes as they started to walk away from the coffee shop. "Lets head back to the house and relax some. I'm getting a bit tired," he said with a yawn.
"Sounds perfectly good to me." Kendall said as he put his guitar back into it's case. He looked over at his best friend and smiled because Logan could hardly keep his eyes open. "Looks like I'll be carrying you home before we even reach the end of the road."
"I might just have to take you up on that offer," Logan said with a tiny smile, just wanting to be cuddled up in bed.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday all went by the same. Logan would wake up early, go for a jog, take a shower and then Kendall would wake up and they'd start their day. Somehow Kendall was able to talk Logan into calling into work and getting his shift covered so that they could stay longer. Logan had to admit though, he was having a great time. The weather had been so beautiful and the water just the right temperature. And whenever him or Kendall couldn't sleep, they'd wake the other up and go get coffee. Just sitting there talking and laughing about anything and everything. Jo had called in a few times that week to check up on Kendall and tell him about her vacation. So needless to say, this was turning out to be the perfect spring break.
"How's the weather in Mexico?" Logan asked as Kendall hung up his phone.
"Oh, you know, the usual. Sunny and perfect. She says she's getting a killer tan and I told her it couldn't be as dark as yours," he replied back nudging Logan, who was eating a bowl of cereal.
"I swear I've never been this dark in my life. It's all the time you've been dragging me down to the beach."
"Yeah well, you need to stop reading and doing school work so much. I mean hell, you didn't even have homework assigned to you over the holiday!"
"Kindle, I have been doing YOUR homework." Logan rolled his eyes as he took another bite of his food. "So stop complaining. And you're getting pretty dark yourself."
"I am, but not as dark as you. But that's ok, because I'm a whiiiiiiite boy." he said as he went to put his own bowl in the sink. "So what do you want to do today?"
The smaller boy looked over at his friend as he jumped up to sit on the counter. "Well, we need to go get some more groceries. We're running low, plus I want to get some things to make s'mores."
"Yum, that sounds pretty good." Kendall said as he grabbed the keys to Logan's car.
By the time the walked back into their beach house, the sun was setting on the horizon. The sky a beautiful pinkish blue. Logan couldn't help but think it was the most beautiful thing he ever seen.
"EXCUSE ME MISTER SLOW." And then he was proven wrong as Kendall walked by.
"Hey, I was enjoying the sunset. Don't get all bossy on me." he said with a laugh as he set down the bogs of groceries he had in his hands. They had spent hours at the local WalMart because Kendall wanted to look around at everything. Logan didn't mind though and even bought him Taylor Swifts new CD, playing "Mine" on repeat the whole way back. Kendall had decided that that should be their song because it was the first thing to actually bring them together when they first met. Logan couldn't argue, plus he really liked that song.
"It's dark now."
"Wow, great observation skills." Logan said, putting some stuff into the fridge.
"JERKFACE!" Kendall said as he threw the bag of marshmallows at his friend.
Logan laughed as he tried to dodge the bag, but he was too slow. It smacked him in the face and he fell to the floor dramatically. "I'mmmm diiiiieingggg."
"OH NO!" Kendall jumped over the chair to get to Logan. "Logie, hang on, don't die just yet! There's something I need to tell you." he knelt down by Logan's head.
The brunette peaked open an eye, "what is it?"
Kendall lowered his head to whisper in his friend's ear "I'm going to eat all of the s'more all by myself". His breath tickled Logan's ear and made him giggle a little.
"I hate you!" Logan said as he pushed his best friend away from him. Kendall's phone started to ring, Jo's ringtone going off. "Really? She's calling again today?"
"Well that's unusual. Let me get it." he said as he made his way over to his phone. "Hello? Oh hey babe!"
Logan sighed as he finished putting away the groceries. He stood there listening, thinking of what he should do. He decided he wanted to go to the beach. So he went and grabbed Kendall's guitar, the s'mores ingredients, and put on some flip flops.
"Bye Kindle! See you later. Tell Jo I said hey," he called out as he walked out of the door.
"Babe, babe, I gotta go. I know, I know. I'll call you back later. Yeah. I promise. Ok. I love you too. Bye!" Logan could hear as the door closed. His best friend running through it a few seconds later. "Loges, where are you going?"
"I wanted to go to the beach. We've yet to go at night."
It took them only a few minutes to walk to the spot they called theirs, no one else around to bother them. Logan gathered up some firewood and Kendall lit it, Logan putting the stuff in his hands down on a towel Kendall had brought on his way out. Good thinking on his part, Logan thought. He had forgotten they needed some.
"Wow, you can see all the stars out here. Nothing like in the city," Kendall said, breaking Logan out of his thoughts. He looked up and couldn't help but smile.
"I'll race you to the water!" Logan yelled, having already taken off running, throwing his shirt over his head. He could hear Kendall right behind him. He reached the water first and let out a little gasp. It was a lot colder now than it was during the day. He didn't mind though, it was numbing after a few seconds and he just kept on going. He stopped once the water reached his waist, forgetting Kendall was a ways behind him. The smaller boy looked out over the dark ocean, remembering the last time he was here at night. He remembered how he left his heart at the bottom of the ocean and swore never to come back to get it. He just stood there, everything quiet.
"Logan.." Kendall whispered.
"Yeah?" he said without turning around, his thoughts still on other things.
"…you are the best thing that's ever been mind."
Logan had to strain hard to hear, Kendall whispering so soft. "Kendall, I've never been…wait…" he turned away to face the blonde boy. "What did you say?" He looked straight at Kendall, the moon light bouncing off his ember green eyes. Everything felt completely still in the world. Logan's breath caught in his throat, confused at what he heard, as his best friend closed the gap between the two. Water was running off of Kendall's chest, until it finally met with the surrounding pool that seemed to be glowing. The next thing Logan knew, Kendall wrapped is arm around him and pulled him in, never losing eye contact.
"I said, you are the best thing that's ever been mine," Kendall said as he brought a hand up to cradle Logan's face, leaning in to kiss him. Logan was shocked until he realized what was happening. Kendall was kissing him. Kissing him, Logan. Right there. Right now. Suddenly the smaller boy melted as he returned the kiss, reaching a hand into the back of Kendall's hair. The kiss lasted a few minutes, but to Logan it felt like years. When Kendall finally took himself away from the kiss, he had to hold on tighter to his best friend. Logan seemed to have lost all control over his legs and lungs.
"Woah there, Logie Bear. Come on, lets go back to shore." he said, taking Logan's hand into his own. Logan was still a little shocked at what just happened, but he couldn't hide the smile that had crept upon his face. "You know, I love when you smile. It's so beauti- OUCH, shit…" he let out as he hopped up on one foot. "What was that?" He sent his hand underwater trying to find the source of his pain. When he brought it back up, Logan could make out what looked like red sea glass. In the shape of a heart.
OMG THEY KISSED! Who would have ever guessed that would happen? ;D Noooow... go review and tell me what you think.
