Phew. Finally a new chapter up. School's been keeping me busy and it stresses me out a bit. I'm sorry for the late update and I'm sorry this chapter is short, I'll try to make up for it next update. And I've been thinking.. and I think I'm going to turn this whole story upside down. I'm going to add unnecessary drama/whatever I think.. Because if not, I'm going to lose interest in it because I think it'd be too boring. Oh well, we'll see.. Enjoy!^^
It was pretty quiet in the lobby. There weren't a lot of people, and the people that were there either had to walk through the lobby to go somewhere else or silently sat on one of the chairs. One of the people that were uselessly sitting there, wasting his time, was James. His arms were crossed and he just stared. Everything and everyone around him was ignored. The negative vibe he gave off made people stay away from him.
''Hey.''
James noticed someone standing in front of him, but he didn't respond in any way. When the person didn't leave after five minutes, he looked up to see the person he was angry with.
''What do you want?''
Logan stood with his hands on his hips and was silent for a short while. ''Nothing. I just came to apologize.''
''…''
''I'm sorry,'' he continued. ''I meant it though. What I said. But I'm sorry, and I mean that as well. It's kind of contradicting. But a human can be sorry for being honest, right? And still not regret it?''
''Stop making this so complicated,'' James sighed. ''stop rambling.''
''Anyway, that was what I wanted to say,'' Logan said, ignoring what the other just said. ''so unless you have anything to say, I'll be leaving now.''
Just when Logan wanted to leave James grabbed his wrist. ''I forgive you. And I'm sorry too. Really. Don't leave.''
''Why?'' Logan asked. ''Both of us have trouble with our mood. Especially around each other. Maybe we've spend enough time together for the day.''
''Because I don't want you to leave, that's why,'' was an honest answer from James. ''I don't want to be alone now. So whether you want it or not, you're staying here with me.''
James pushed Logan onto the chair in front of him and sat back down.
''So, what was that earlier?'' James wanted to know. He looked at Logan, but he just frowned.
''Earlier? What time are you referring to, may I ask?''
''You know. Before your appointment. That stupid stuff about 'now is not the time'..''
A slight blush appeared. ''Ah! Well.. er… we really didn't have much time then, I had to go to the doctor.''
''No, not about that,'' James narrowed his eyes. ''what you said after that. That there never will be a good time to repeat that.''
''…..''
''So, tell me. What exactly did you mean?''
''I-I… I just..''
''….?''
''I-I…''
''Just spit it out, Logan.''
''I'm just kind of afraid of sex, alright?''
His voice was slightly raised, but it wasn't quite a yell. It didn't came out embarrassed, nor did it came out very confident. The tone was weird, yet very natural. James couldn't help but smile.
''Really?'' he chuckled. ''It sure didn't seem like it last time.''
''Hey, the alcohol affected me!'' Logan defended himself.
''You barely had any,'' James commented. ''how could that have affected you?''
''It just did, accept it. I don't handle alcohol very well.''
''Alright, alright, fine.''
Both just sat there. They were quiet and looking around them. Nothing interesting happened though. Just people. People sitting, people walking, people standing. People people people. It was only when Kendall and Jett entered the lobby that both raised their eyebrows. Not that seeing Kendall or Jett in Palm Woods was surprising, but seeing them together without arguing over one thing or another was odd. In fact, they were having a talk. And they were laughing. James made sure they weren't seen by the two and quickly grabbed his phone.
Hey, whatcha doin'? – James
Kendall froze and said something to Jett. He then fished his phone out of his pocket.
Nothing much. Just chilling – Kendall
With who? – James
Not knowing if he should reply honestly or not, Kendall just nervously scratched the back of his head.
No one – Kendall
No one chills alone ;) – James
What are you implying? – Kendall
Are you on a date, perhaps? – James
''Are you done texting?'' Jett asked.
''Hold on a sec, I just gotta reply to this one,'' Kendall answered.
No, now stop bothering me, I'm busy – Kendall
''Busy with what?'' James hissed. Logan frowned, then looked at Kendall and back at James.
''Why are you texting him? He's right there,'' Logan pointed out.
James shook his head. ''That's the point! Here, have a look.''
Logan took the phone James offered him and scanned through the messages. ''And what are you planning to do now?''
''Dunno. I thought maybe you could come up with something,'' James admitted.
Logan sighed. ''Do we have to come up with something anyway? Just let them be.''
''But it's weird!'' James exclaimed. ''It's weird seeing them like that!''
''They're just talking,'' Logan said. ''you should be glad they're not fighting anymore.''
''Hmm.''
James sank deeper in the chair, bringing his hand to his chin and frowned. Kendall and Jett…
''They left,'' Logan said.
''Huh?''
James immediately turned around. It was true, the two were nowhere to be seen. An annoyed sigh escaped his lips as he turned around again to face Logan.
''How boring… There's absolutely nothing to do here.. Let's go for a joyride, shall we?''
