A/N Wow it's been a while since I updated this one. I'm gonna try to update this more since I love requests so much Anywho, only 6 more days until my BTR concert! I'm SO excited! I'm kind of in disbelief. Hopefully I'm not embarrassingly hyper at this M&G like I was at the last one (I was a squealing mess of a ball on the floor after flying down some stairs)
Who else is seeing/meeting BTR this summer?
This one is requested from Sing ME To Slumberland. And it will be Jagan bromance, because I think a couple of you have requested Jagan from me and I'm not one to deny some Jagany goodness to anybody.
Logan's blood was boiling as he stomped through the small apartment to his room. He could feel tears prickling at the back of his eyes, his cheeks red with humiliation. Kendall and Mrs. Knight stared at the teen in shock, but he ignored their questioning looks and stormed past them, not wanting anybody to see him like this.
"Get out," Logan demanded acidly when he reached his room. The words were directed at Carlos, who laid innocently on his bed reading a comic book, but his angry gaze was kept fixed on the floor.
"What, why?" Carlos cried, a little irked that Logan was yelling at him. It took him a moment to figure out something was wrong.
"Just go!" Logan shouted, stomping over to Carlos and ripping the comic book out of his hand. He threw the small book out the door. Carlos glared at Logan with surprise.
"Please?" Logan added in a small voice, instantly ashamed at yelling at his younger friend. Carlos just pouted and left the room. Logan slammed the door behind him, locked the door, and released his tears, struggling to choke back the sobs. He hadn't been this hurt in a really long time, and the fact that James- his own best friend, had made him feel like this only made it worse.
A couple of hours went by, but Logan hardly even noticed. He had been crying off and on the entire time, and now his throat and eyes and head hurt terribly from all of the sobbing. He didn't realize Kendall entered the room until his mattress tilted slightly with extra weight. Logan rolled over to his side to see worried green eyes watching over him.
"How did you get in here?" He croaked.
"You know I can pick locks with my eyes closed," Kendall answered simply. Logan just rolled his red, puffy eyes. Kendall silently offered him a water bottle, and Logan took it gratefully. He sipped from it for a few long moments, waiting anxiously for Kendall to start grilling him on what was wrong. Surprisingly though, he didn't.
"Aren't you going to freak out at me and make me tell you what's wrong?"
Kendall shrugged. "I don't know. I've never seen you this upset before. Do you need to talk about it?"
"No, it's stupid," Logan admitted quietly, his cheeks heating up again as he remembered James' sharp words. "I got in a fight with James is all."
Kendall raised his eyebrows. He was used to those two fighting constantly. They were polar opposites. James was always doing something to aggravate Logan, and vice-versa.
"It was bad this time, Kendall," Logan squeaked out.
"What did he do?" Kendall asked with disbelief. Sure they fought a lot, but it was like they were brothers. Kendall knew how much James cherished Logan. He was actually quite protective of the little one, and would never do anything on purpose to hurt him.
"I just wanted someone to hang out with this afternoon," Logan said with a sniffle. "I thought James would want to, but he has his new 'friends' now," the brunet said with a snort.
"What do you mean, 'new friends'?" Kendall wondered.
"They're some posh actors from the new popular movie, 'The Starvation Games'. James completely embarrassed me in front of them! He told me I can't hang with him because I'm not cool enough and made fun of me to my face, and when they all laughed at me, he laughed too! It was like high school back home all over again, but at least back then when I was laughed at, James was the one backing me up, not the one starting it all. You know I'm really sick of all this fame getting to James' head. He's not the same guy anymore, Kendall. My James would have never hurt me like that. He completely humiliated me."
"Look, I'll go talk to him. You clean up and try to calm down, okay?"
Logan nodded, wiping a few stray tears from his burning cheeks. Kendall gave him an encouraging smile and headed to the door. Right as he was about to turn the handle, the door swung open with a guilty looking James in the doorway.
"You, have a lot of explaining to do," Kendall almost growled.
"I know," James said. He gestured to Logan, who was a tiny, pathetic ball of sadness curled up on his covers. "Can I talk to him?"
"You can apologize to him," Kendall corrected, pushing James towards Logan before leaving, shutting the door behind him.
James coughed awkwardly now that they were alone. Logan just stared at him expectantly, his dark eyes watery and filled with betrayal. James knew he was the reason behind it, and he hated himself for it.
"Logie I'm so sorry," James blurted. "I didn't think before I said all that stuff today, you know that right? I didn't mean a word if it."
"You said some pretty mean things to me James," Logan whispered. "All just to look cool in front of a bunch of idiots? That's low, even for you."
"You're right. I was trying to fit in and I snapped at you. I don't know why I wanted to be their friends so badly."
"'Cause they're cool and I'm not," Logan replied.
"That's not true. They're total jerks and so am I."
Logan looked up, more tears staining his pale face. "You've become exactly what I used to run from every day back in Minnesota, James! More than a jerk, you're a bully now. Anybody who isn't as pretty as you or has as much money is just a waste of space in your fame-obsessed mind. You only hang out with big stars nowadays. You haven't spent time with me in weeks!" Logan was standing now, his small hands balled into tight fists. "You're a self-centered, mean, spoiled prick!"
Logan un-balled his fists and shoved James, who merely moved backwards slightly, a bit off balance.
"All you care about anymore is being popular and famous! You don't care about the band, or Carlos or Kendall or I!"
Logan shoved James again. This time the pretty boy stumbled as Logan gained strength with his anger.
"It's like you're a different person now, James! The James that I know always stood up for me! But you don't care anymore! You don't care about me anymore!" Logan was nearly screaming now, and he shoved James again with all his strength, pushing him into the wall.
Tears ran down Logan's face as he panted for breath after his rant. James leaned against the wall. Logan was shocked to find him crying as well. He was blank faced, but tears were pooling in his honey brown eyes, leaving salty trails down his cheeks.
"Why aren't you fighting me back?" Logan asked after he caught his breath. "Why are you just taking it?"
"Because I deserve it. You're right about everything. I'm turning into some kind of fame monster, and you're suffering because of it. I'm not going to fight you back because I could never lay anything but a gentle hand on you. I know what you went through in high school, I saw everything that happened to you and I'm not about to become your biggest fear. You're my best friend and I wouldn't trade you for all of the fame and money and girls in the world, Logie. So I don't care what you do to me, you could beat me up right now, but I will never fight you Logan."
Logan finally backed off after hearing the sincerity in James' soft voice. "I-I'm sorry, James. I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry I shoved you."
James just shook his head in disbelief, taking Logan into his arms and holding him tightly to his chest. "I can't believe you're the one apologizing right now, Logan. I'm sorry buddy. I've practically abandoned you for fame. But I miss you. You're like my little brother. We need to stick together through all of this crazy stuff now that we're an actual band. I'm sorry for not realizing that sooner. If it makes you feel better, after I realized what I had done I called those guys poopfaces and ditched them."
Logan smiled a bit. "You mean they're not your friends anymore?"
James shook his head, rubbing his best friend's back with his fingertips. "Nah, they're not worth losing you over."
