Chapter 6: Return

KATIE POV

Its been a few hours since James left. Where could he be? Why did he storm off like he did?

When did things get so bad?

After James had left, and I finished balling my eyes out on the floor, I got up and began to walk back to my room.

With each step I took, I winced in pain. It hurt to move, as I was a little sore after my encounter with James earlier today.

What was that? I had given into James. But when I wanted him to stop… he kept going. And he hurt me. Surely something was wrong with him when he started to cry, and then… and then he was gone.

And now I'm sitting here, in my late brothers huge joggers, in discomfort.

I heard a familiar voice that pulled me from my thoughts.

"James? Kendall? Katie? Anyone here!" Carlos called out.

"Hello?" Logan said. I didn't feel like answering them. My mind was distracted and frozen in time, thinking back to that night…

"In here…" I finally said, in such a small voice, I hardly recognized it as my own.

"Katie?" Carlos said, with a knock on my door.

JAMES POV

My lungs started to feel like they were on fire, since I've been running for God knows how long. I felt my legs start to shake from underneath me and I knew they were going to give out soon. So I gave into them and stopped running sending myself to the floor.

"Kendall!" I shouted. The tears that I've been holding back finally fell from my eyes.

"NO!… K-en…DALL!" My words were broken up by the sobs that tore through my body.

All eyes were on me, but I could really care less. I missed my best friend, and I wanted him to come back. And after what I had done to Katie… I could never forgive myself. But I just love her so much. I would do anything for her… and I did. Just not the most smartest thing to do.

"I'm so sorry Kendall! I didn't meant to! Please, please, please, please come back! No! I didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't mean to hurt you! I love you, and you need to come back to us! I miss you, Katie misses you! I'm sure Carlos won't handle it well! You have to be there for him… for us! Logan's going to fall hard too! Don't even forget about… about your mom! Kids are not supposed to die before their parents, Kendall! And it's all my fault! I'm sorry Kendall… I hope you can forgive me.

LOGAN POV

"Katie what's wrong?" I said.

No answer.

"Katie please open the door. What happened? Where's Kendall? Where's James?" Carlos pleaded.

We each gave each other a worried look when we heard footsteps approaching the door.

A piece of paper slipped through the door, written on in huge bold letters.

LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! - K

"Katie." I said calmly.

"I said leave me alone!" She shouted through the door.

I sighed. What has been going on? Why wasn't anyone else home? James was supposed to stay with Katie today, till we got home. And where has Kendall been? Was he still at Jo's? Did he come back to the apartment, and then leave again?

"Come on Carlos, let's just leave her alone."

"But she seems upset. Shouldn't we at least try and talk to her?"

"No. I think its best to let her be for now, till she wants to talk… Why don't we go watch TV or something." I negotiated.

Carlos nodded his head, and we started walking to the living room. Falling back on the couch, we each let out a huge sigh. Carlos fell to the side, and leaned his head on my lap.

"Hey, weren't you guys supposed to go to the Olive Garden later?" Carlos questioned.

"Yeah, but since I don't know where Kendall is, he won't know… I've tried texting him, but I don't know, maybe his phone is dead."

I heard him mutter an 'oh' before he shifted his head in my lap, and looked at the TV. I grabbed the remote and turned it on, and it immediately turned to a hockey game.

Both of us were pretty content with watching it, so we left it on, becoming absorbed in the game, for a good hour, when Carlos finally spoke up.

"…Logie?" He whispered.

"Yeah Carlitos?" I used his nickname also, and looked down at his face.

"I'm… I'm scared."

"What? Why? You have nothing to be scared about." I placed my hand on his head, and rubbed small circles through his hair.

"What if something happened to Kendall? He hasn't been home in a couple of days, Logan. I… I haven't seen Jo either."

"I'm sure everything is fine Carlitos. Don't worry about it."

"But what if something is wrong?" Tears started to form in his eyes, and roll down the sides of his face, onto my lap.

I didn't know what to say. All I could give him was an empty promise. Saying that everything would be okay. Even though I had no way of knowing if everything was fine. Everyone seemed different, except me and Carlos. I feel like we're missing out on something.

"Carlos listen to me…" I lowered my head closer to his. "Everything's going to be fine… I promise."

"You… you really think so Logie?" He sounded so sad. And it made him sort of… cute? Wait… I'm not gay… Awkward.

"I know so." I said, as I felt my face start to gravitate towards Carlos'. My breath hitched in my throat when I realized what just, almost… yeah anyways.

"How about we just go for a walk." I said.

"Yeah sounds good. Come on." Carlos said as he got up. He began to walk towards the door, and I followed shortly till we reached the hallway.

KATIE POV

I heard the door open, and slam shut, and I knew that Carlos and Logan had left.

I sat on my bed, taking in the quietness of the apartment. The air seemed still, and moved slow with the time.

Just when I thought I had the place to myself, I heard keys rummaging in the door.

"Boys, Katie, you home?"

Mom …

XxX

A/N: YEP SO… like I said, that was a filler. You probably know that Logan and Carlos were about to kiss, but MAYBE in another chapter, somewhere. Yeah! So the end, obviously you know Mrs. Knight came back from her Vacation, and this is were a lot more drama comes in. xD

YAY FUN! Okay, to my lovely readers… Review?
