So this story is just really all over the place. I have some ideas for the future, but we're not there quite yet.

We'll get there eventually though, I'm sure of it.

Anyways, update time!

...

About a month had passed since Kendall's attack, and everything seemed to finally be calming down for everyone.

"Kendall, Katie, I wanted to talk to you both about something…" their mom started one night at dinner, making the almost 15-year old and almost 12-year old put down their forks; their mom sounded so serious. "In two months, school will be out for summer."

"Yeah…" they said together, wondering where this conversation was going.

"I've been thinking… this house we have here is just so big and upkeep is expensive…"

"Mom, are you saying-"

"Yes Kendall. I think we need to move to a smaller house." The two siblings shared looks before looking at their mom, who was giving them a soft smile. "Over the summer, you will be staying with Aunt Julie while I move everything to the new house."

"But mom-"

"Don't you two worry about a thing. Okay? I've thought all of this through, and it's the best decision for all of us. But maybe, don't tell anyone quite yet, okay?"

"Mom-"

"Kendall, honey, trust me. This will work out for the best. I'm your mother, I know how important everything is to you. I took it all into consideration. I promise." Kendall looked at his mom, nothing but love and kindness in her gaze. "You're just going to have to trust me honey okay?"

"Of course I trust you mom."

"Good," she said with a self-sastifed smile before looking at her daughter. "Katie, are you okay?"

"You think this will be good for us?"

"I do."

"Then I'm okay."

"Just have faith in your mother kids. I have it all figured out. You'll love it."

…

Kendall didn't sleep that night as he thought about the bomb his mom had dropped on him and Katie.

We're moving…

We're MOVING…

In two months, I may never see Logan again.

That thought made it hard for Kendall to breath. Closing his eyes, he placed his head on his knees and took deep breaths.

If he was never going to see Logan again, then he wanted to do something so he would only have good memories before he left.

He was ready for this.

At least, he thought he was.

…

Carlos was lying in his bed, James hovering over him as the two kissed heavily. James was running his hands up and down Carlos's bare chest while Carlos hands wound into James's soft hair. James brought a hand down to begin to push Carlos' shorts down, but Carlos snapped a hand down on his wrist.

"Don't," he said, pushing the taller guy away from him.

"But why not? I told you that I didn't care that you were burnt."

"But I care. You're self-conscious about your face –and don't say you're not– and I'm self-conscious about this. I thought you understood."

"I do Sweetheart," he said, pulling the now-sulking younger teen towards himself. "But I just-"

"I know. I get you all riled up and then we don't do anything. I'm sorry." James shrugged and stood up, slipping his shirt on. "You're mad."

"I'm not mad. I'm upset, but not mad. I love you, and I know you're uncomfortable with this. But at least you can hide what's wrong with you. I can't hide my face. But I've learned to accept that I'm going to be scarred forever. You need to accept that you are too. You accepted the ones on your hands and arms."

"James-"

"Carlos," James said, leaning down and pressing a kiss to Carlos lips, "I love you so much. Stop hiding from me. I'm gonna go for tonight. I'll see you on Monday okay?" Carlos nodded and gave him one last, desperate kiss before James was gone.

Sighing, he lied down, ready to attempt to sleep.

He knew it wouldn't come though.

…

The next day, a worn out Carlos was chilling in a bleary-eyed Kendall's room. The two were silent as they thought about everything that was going on in their lives.

"I think James is going to break up with me," Carlos said so softly that Kendall wasn't sure if he heard his friend correctly.

"What?"

"I won't have sex with him, because of the fire. I got burned…" Kendall was silent as he moved next to Carlos and put a reassuring lanky arm around his broad shoulders.

"Oh Carlos, James is crazy about you. He's not gonna leave you."

"I really think he might. I'm just so embarrassed," Carlos said softly, his face now burning in a dark pink blush. "What can I do?"

"I doubt the scar is that bad, really."

"It is…"

"Carlos-"

"Kenny… I don't know what I would do if he left me." Kendall pulled Carlos to him and rubbed his back. "But if I show him the scar, I know he'll leave me too. I can't win either way."

"Carlos, I'm sure you'll be okay."

"You wouldn't be saying that if you saw it."

"Show it to me then."

"Wh-what?!"

"I've seen you naked before," Kendall said, rolling his eyes at his friend. "Let me judge how bad it is."

"Kendall-"

"Carlos." Carlos gulped and stood up, closing his eyes as he quickly pulled his pants and boxers down, a heated blush covering his cheeks and spreading down his neck. "It doesn't look nearly as bad as you made it sound," Kendall said,tilting his head as he eyed the scar that ran up his friend's left leg and around the base of his manhood. "It kinda looks like a snake." Carlos made an aggravated noise as he pulled his pants up, not meeting Kendall's eyes. "Really Carlos, it's not that bad."

"Yeah right, you're just humoring me."

"No I'm not. I don't lie to you, you know that."

"I know."

"James won't mind, trust me."

"I hope not. So, what's going on in that blonde head of yours? I can see something working behind your eyes."

"I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but you're my best friend, and you have to promise to tell no one; not James, and especially not Logan."

"I 'best friend' promise to not tell anyone. What's going on Kenny?"

"I'm moving during the summer. Mom won't tell me and Katie where or anything really. All I know is that Katie and I are going to spend all summer with Aunt Julie while Mom moves us." Carlos was silent as he tried to find the words to describe his feelings.

Nothing would come.

"I know," is all Kendall said as Carlos shook his head.

"So come August..."

"I have no idea where I'll be."

…
