Please don't kill me, y'all. I know I've been gone for a very LONG time, but its not my fault! (That's what they all say, I know.) My laptop completely died and it took me awhile before I got my new iMac for my apartment. So with my laptop, the whole story was lost and now I'm starting from what I can remember. BUT BUT BUT, I am baaaaaack! So, I will update more often.
This chapter is here to introduce James back into Logan's life. Not very long or interesting, but very much needed. I hope y'all like it even those it's a tad boring. I just wanted to say I love everyone of y'all that have stuck with this even though I was gone and continue to read and review. It means the world to me. :*
Also, I obviously do not own Big Time Rush or anything in this story. Enjoy!
"I can't believe it's really you, Lo!" James said for the millionth time. The two decided to get coffee together after picking up Logan's papers off the busy sidewalk. Logan was still in disbelief, old memories flooding his mind. He took a sip from his White Chocolate Mocha Frapp.
"I can't either. I mean, after you left…" he thought back to that day, "it just, kind of all just fell apart. You never even tried to contact me…"
"I did. I did! I promise I did. Mom just thought it was best to leave what was past past so that nothing would stand in the way of my future."
"So I was a 'roadblock'? Logan said a little shocked.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean it that way. Well, I guess I did. I think that's how mom saw you. But don't take that the wrong way, she did love you as her own. She just saw how close we were at such a young age and didn't think it was… right. She thought it might hinder me later down the road." James took a sip of his iced coffee.
Logan just continued to look at James, not really knowing what to say. His phone vibrated again, yet another text from Kendall. His 7th one in the past thirty minutes to be exact. Not that he didn't want to text back, he was just engrossed with the situation in front of him.
Out of no where Logan was blinded by a flash, then another and another. He was completely confused until he realized what it was. A camera flash. Paparazzi. He totally forgot, James was famous. Super famous.
"I'm so sorry about this," James said, shooing away the pesky man.
"Oh no, it's fine. I'm completely used to this." Logan smiled at the camera as the pap took one last picture. "You know, I missed you Jamz."
"I missed you too, Logie. More than I think you know." He took another sip. "I was thinking back to that time I taught you how to ride a bike without training wheels and you fell off and basically lost your whole left arm."
"I did not! Only broke that wrist." The shorter boy said laughing. "And that wasn't even my fault! You said you had me and the next thing I know I'm swerving, all alone, into the curb. What a scaring memory. Literally." He laughed, showing the scar he had on his wrist to remind him of that day.
"Or remember that time you hit me with a horse show and left a 4 inch gash in my bicep?" James said pulling up his shirtsleeve. You could barely make out the scar over his tight muscles that he obtained over the years. Logan couldn't help but smile.
"I still suck at that game. And that was your fault as well, you shouldn't have stepped in front of my toss!"
"Is everything always my fault?"
"Of course."
"If I remember correctly, that's how it was when we were little."
"Sure was!"
The two of them started laughing uncontrollably, not noticing the people staring at them with their camera phones.
"So how have you been, Lo? What have you been up to? Why are you out here?"
"Well, I've been great actually. Obviously not as great as you, seeing as you're one of the most famous faces in the world at the moment, but pretty darn close. I'm out here for school. You know, just being the nerdy self I am. OH, and I also came out. No surprise really. And I have this great and beautiful and talented boyfr-"
Logan was cut off by the ring of his phone. He recognized it immediately as Kendall's ringtone.
"Speak of the Devil," he said with a chuckle. Before he answer his phone he checked the time and saw an hour had already passed by since they sat down. He put a finger up signaling he had to take this.
"Hello there beau-" he couldn't even finish when he hear screaming on the other end.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! YOU DON'T ANSWER MY TEXTS. NOTHING. I HAVE TO FIND OUT THAT YOU'RE ON A 'SECRET DATE WITH JAMES DIAMOND' THROUGH E!NEWS…" Kendall continued to yell but Logan wasn't really paying attention to what else his boyfriend has to say.
"Excuse me?" he commanded in a calm voice, stopping Kendall straight in his rant. "I am on no such date, I'm-"
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I HEARD AND SAW! THERE ARE FUCKING PICTURES AND EVERYTHING!"
"Shut up. Just shut UP, KENDALL!" Logan hated to raise his voice in public, James shooting him a weird yet concerned face. "I am on no date. HELLO I LOVE YOU. I'm at Starbucks with James Diamond, yes. On a date? NO."
"Then what are you doing?!"
"Well, at the moment I'm trying not to fight with my boyfriend," Logan informed the person on the other end, thinking that was obvious.
Kendall sighed, "Goddamnit you're too cute. How can I stay mad at you? I can only imagine the look on your face." Logan could feel the little smirk on his boyfriend's face, "I meant, what are you doing there with James Diamond? James DIAMOND." he emphasized James' last name like it was something Holy or unreal.
"Well, James and I go back. Way back. We grew up together. From the same city, hell, from the same street. It's a long story I'll explain to you later. But anywho, I was walking to Starbucks to do some studying and I ran into him. Literally."
"You have a problem with doing that, you know?" the blonde said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, but-"
"I'm sorry, but I have to cut this short," James said, looking up from his own phone. "My manager just text me and said I need to come in ASAP because something about a scandal and I also need to start auditioning for opening acts for my upcoming tour and… I don't know. He seems kind of upset."
"Oh hey, Kindle, I'll call you right back babe. I love you." Logan said as he ended his call. "I'm so sorry for that. He was saying something about E!News saying I was on a secret date with you.."
"SHIT, that must be what the whole 'scandal' thing is. Fuck. Damn paps." James scolded and shook his head. "Oh well, things will be straightened out. Anyway, I have to go. I'm so sorry. But before I leave, can I have your number?" the muscular boy flashed his million watt smile as Logan typed his number in his phone. The two boys hugged and laughed again for no reason.
"It really was so great to see you again, Jamz."
"Hopefully we can meet up again real soon. I'd love to meet this… Kindle?" he cocked his head to the side with a puzzled look on his face.
Logan laughed, "Kendall. But yes, that would be great!" he said as they hugged once more and he watched his long lost best friend walk away. People were still staring, but Logan didn't really mind. He was just so happy and nothing could bring him down.
Remembering Kendall, he dialed his number and it only took 2 rings for his boyfriend to pick up.
"Hey babe."
"I'm so sorry.
"For what?" Logan asked as he picked his stuff up and made his way back to his car at the restaurant a few blocks over.
"Blowing up like that. It's just… I saw that story and… I don't know, got incredibly jealous and… and just freaked. I thought I was, was losing you."
"You could never lose me. I just got you."
"I know. I'm so sorry. I really am. I love you. So much, Logie Bear."
"I love you too. I should be home real soon."
