Well, the last chapter irritated some people with the way it ended. Don't worry, it'll get better.
Maybe.
We'll see.

…

"Kendall!" Kendall looked at his mom, who almost ran to him to wrap him in a tight hug. "They were telling me about those terrible bullies who beat you up," she murmured, caressing his face.

"Moooom," he whined, stepping from her.

"Oh I'm sorry," she said, "But I've missed you so much."

"I can't believe you're back… I thought you had a few more months?" he asked weakly, not sure how to feel. On one hand, he was really happy she was back. On the other…

He was going to have to leave Logan.

"They let me go early! Now, since you only have a couple of days until Christmas break, I figured I could leave you where you are now until then, and then after the holidays, we'll put you back in your old school."

"Yay…" he said dejectedly, giving her a hug. He glanced at Carlos, seeing him giving him the same look he was sure he had. "Uh, mom, I'm really tired… I'm gonna go lie down. Can we talk in the morning?"

"Oh of course honey! I'm staying here for the last few days while you're in school and the minute you're off we'll go home." He nodded and looked at his little sister and Carlos' mom, who were both giving him looks of pity; they knew he was dying inside.

"Night," he said, turning to go to his room, Carlos behind him.

"Kenny…?" Kendall sat on his bed and looked at Carlos. "You okay?" Kendall just shook his head; he seemed to be in shock. "Kenny-"

"Don't tell Logan."

"What?"

"Please. Don't tell him."

"Kendall-"

"Carlos. Please." Carlos nodded and was about to go to his room when he turned back.

"What about James?"

"… Only if he won't tell him." Carlos nodded again and smiled wearily at Kendall.

"Goodnight."

"Night."

…

If anyone noticed Kendall's odd behavior over the last few days before the Christmas break hit, they didn't comment on it. As the bell rang for the last class and he made his way to the hallway, Kendall felt himself swept up into Logan's arms.

"So," he said, pressing a kiss to Kendall's shocked face, "I was thinking, how about me and you go away for a few days over the break?" Kendall's smile faltered only for a bit, but he covered it up quickly, fixing it so it strained his face.

"I would love to. But… I can't."

"Oh."

"I'll be spending Christmas with my mom," Kendall said, feeling his cheeks burn. "I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. I understand. At least I'll be able to see you after the break, and for Christmas maybe?"

"Maybe. I'll need to see what's going on," Kendall said, giving his boyfriend a kiss; Logan felt that there was something different in this one.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Fine."

Logan didn't know if he really believed him or not.

…

Kendall looked at the room he had lived in for five months now; it was bare, all his belongings gone.

"Kendall?" Kendall looked over to see his little sister Katie looking at him.

"Yeah?"

"We're going home."

"I know."

"You didn't tell mom about Logan."

"I know."

"You should have."

"I know."

"Kids? You ready?" their mom called out, making them both turn to see the red-headed woman in front of them.

"Yeah, we're ready."

…

"He's ignoring me," Logan said, pacing a line in his carpet.

"Why would he ignore you?" James asked, looking at his brother, appearing to be bored.

"Maybe he lied to me. Maybe he can't handle my disorder. Maybe he doesn't love me-"

"Loges!" Logan stopped and looked at James.

"What?"

"Kendall loves you. He wouldn't just ditch you. He's probably just busy. Didn't he say he was spending time with his mom?"

"…Yeah," Logan said, sitting down. "But… He would call or text me, wouldn't he?"

"Logan, you are beginning to sound like a love-struck girl. Calm your shit down okay?" Logan looked at James in shock. "You done?" Logan nodded and quieted down. James looked at him and felt guilty; Carlos had told him that Kendall was gone, but neither of them had the guts to tell Logan.

They were worried about how he would react.

…

Kendall couldn't sleep; the holidays had passed, and Kendall would be returning back to his old school, with all his old friends; he wouldn't be seeing Carlos, James, or his Logan again.

And he knew that tomorrow, he would have to face Logan again.

He had, in fact, been ignoring him, sending his Christmas present to Logan with Carlos, who had gotten his mom to bring him by; in return, Carlos gave Kendall his gift from Logan.

And now…

Now he wouldn't see him again.

Finally falling into a fitful sleep, he dreamt of Logan.

Not all dreams were good.

…

Logan looked around the school, but there was no sign of the blonde-haired green-eyed boy he loved so much. He rounded on Carlos, who was kissing James.

"Where is he?" Carlos pulled away and grimaced while James prodded him.

"You gotta tell him," James whispered, but Logan heard him.

"Tell me what?"

"I can't tell him," Carlos whispered back, as if he hadn't heard Logan.

"Fine, I will."

"No, I'll do it." Carlos took a deep breath and turned to Logan, who was looking at them like they were crazy. "Kendall's not coming back."

"What? What do you mean-"

"His mom came back. They moved back home the day that school let out for the holiday. He's back in his old school." Logan stood there, mouth agape as he stared at Carlos; his eyes turned to James.

"You knew."

"Loges-"

"You knew that Kendall left me, and you didn't tell me?!"

"Loges. I didn't tell you because I knew you'd react like this." Logan stared at him for a moment before pulling back his fist and punching James in the face. Carlos looked at him in shock as James stood up. "I'm fine," he told Carlos before looking at Logan, "Where are you going?!" he called after Logan, who had turned on his heel and was striding away from him and Carlos.

"To get my boyfriend back!"

…

Oooh, Logan is gonna get his man!
Let's hope his temper stays in check though…

Thanks for reading!

See you next time!
