Logan glanced at Carlos, who was sitting across from him now. Carlos' usual seat was now taken by Jenny and Carlos was not too happy about it. Logan felt bad, but he couldn't help Jenny wanting to sit next to him, they were dating now. Carlos sighed and continue to pick at his food with his fork. Why did Logan have to go off and get a girlfriend? I need him. Now I'm alone again. He glared at Logan from across the table, then got up to clear his tray.
James watched Carlos leave the table. "Carlos isn't doing too well."
"Yeah. I think it's because Logan has a girlfriend now." Kendall said as he glanced at Logan and Jenny.
"Oh well now you're making me feel bad…" Logan muttered.
James patted Logan's shoulder. "Sorry buddy. As much s I hate to say this, you became Carlos'… not best friend, but you know, close friend. And because we both had girlfriends, he needed you… and now you have Jenny."
As much as Logan wanted to be outraged about his lack of girlfriend rights, he couldn't be. James was right, Carlos depended on him, and Logan depended on Carlos. Without Carlos, Logan would be sitting alone right now, reading yet another book. Carlos was his best friend, who changed his whole life, and Logan was becoming selfish.
"Listen Jenny, I'm gonna have to cancel for Friday, I think I should spend some time with Carlos."
Jenny smiled at him. "Bros before hoes." she said awkwardly.
"You know what? Jenny's right." Kendall declared. "All dates for Friday are cancelled. We've skipped a ton of Guys Nights. I think it's time for another!"
James shot Logan a glance; he knew that Logan would have work… "Um, I don't think Logan can…"
"No. James, it's fine. I can come. Just tell me what time to be there."
James stared at Logan with a confused look on his face. "Oh, okay, sure…"
Kendall stood up with his tray. "So it's settled then! Guys night at my place Friday!"
The boys sat in Kendall's basement playing their typical video games that Friday night. Carlos was beginning to feel a little better, he felt like one of the pack once again. He remembered when there were no girls in the pack's way and all that the boys had to worry about was hockey, video games, and their obnoxious pranks. Then again, it was me who had the first girlfriend…
"How are you feelin' Carlitos my man?" James slapped Carlos on the back.
"I'm feeling good James, I'm feeling good. Except…"
"What!" the three boys snapped in unison.
"I want my Jenny back!" Carlos began to sob into his hands.
"That's it!" James threw down a bag of chips and stood up abruptly. "Carlos! Carlos! Dammit Carlos!"
Kendall also stood up. "Carlos! What the hell man! Seriously! It's been three months! You're acting like a little girl!"
Carlos continued with his blubbering. "I can't help it!"
Logan jumped up and slapped Carlos in the back of the head. "Look at me!" Carlos did as he was told. "Carlos, I have a story to tell you. To tell you all. Hopefully, it will distract you or something. Maybe then you'll see that losing someone isn't the end of the world. I lost someone too, remember?"
"Yeah.. A story about what?" Carlos asked, calming down.
"My past…"
James laughed nervously. "Umm… Logan… what about Kendall?"
The three boys looked at Kendall, who had a confused expression on his face. "What about me?"
"Kendall, there's something I need to tell you…" Logan said timidly.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Logan? That will be three people that you've told…" Carlos asked, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Kendall, just promise you won't freak out?"
"I promise, but why in the hell does everyone else already know about this and not me?" Kendall barked.
"Well, he accidentally told me.." James defended.
"Me too!" Carlos chimed as he jumped up beside Logan.
Kendall crossed his arms in annoyance. "Alright then, tell me."
Logan glanced at Carlos and James and sighed. "Kendall, I'm… Death."
Kendall chuckled. "Really guys? That's the best prank you could think of?"
"No Kendall, he's telling the truth!" Carlos insisted. "Show him the flames!"
Logan snapped his fingers and flames erupted from his hand. Kendall didn't even flinch. "Very funny guys. But next time, try not be friends with a scientific genius and maybe I'll believe you."
"Kendall, he's serious. For real." James argued.
"Fine. If he's Death, then where's his cloak and scythe? And why does he have flesh? Isn't Death just some sort of skeleton?" Kendall smiled smugly.
"Hey Kendall can you pass me that plant behind you?" Logan asked as he gestured to the plant on the coffee table.
Kendall handed Logan the plant and Logan grimaced. He didn't like showing off his "powers," but he had to get Kendall to believe him. Logan lightly brushed the leaves of plant and it began to wilt and decay.
Kendall's eyes grew wide. "How the hell did you do that?"
"Like, I said, I'm Death."
Kendall chuckled awkwardly for a moment and then began to scream and run. Carlos and James chased after to him to try to gain control of the situation. "Kendall! Kendall!" they shouted after him. Logan stood there and patiently waited for Carlos and James to calm Kendall down. Finally, after five minutes of screaming and flailing, the boys pined Kendall to the ground.
"You're both working for him! Aren't you? Help! Somebody help! He's stolen their souls and are controlling his mind! Help!" Kendall screamed.
Carlos put his hand over Kendall's mouth. "That should shut him up."
Logan walked over to a thrashing Kendall. "Kendall, could you let me explain before you freak out like that? I'm not a soul sucking, mind controlling Grim Reaper, okay?"
"Mmmmmm!" Kendall tried to scream.
"I'm going to say this for the third and final time. The people are already dead and I just come and bring their souls to where they belong is all. If I had a choice, I would quit in a minute, but unfortunately, I don't. Now will you please calm down?"
Kendall stopped screaming and trying to escape; he nodded. Carlos and James got off of Kendall and he sat up. "Did you guys drug me? Because this pack is suddenly becoming extremely abnormal."
