I changed the name! Haha hope you don't hate it too much if you even hate it at all. I just decided nine months made it sound like an mpreg story and I am terrible at writing those haha. So I decided to post this chapter before I went to school cause if have this awkward 45 minutes between when I wake up and get ready and when the bus comes to get me. I don't take too long to get ready
Haha thanks for the nice reviews, hope you like this chapter.
(A/N: Logan's POV)
I still had butterflies from when I had seen James. He didn't look much different. His hair was a little shorter but that's it.
"Sorry about that..." Carlos sighed.
"No, it's not your fault. I'm hoping he'll come to his senses sooner or later."
"Logan, did you see the way he blushed when he saw you?" His voice dropped to a whisper so Kendall wouldn't hear.
I nodded in return.
"Do you think he's-"
"Maybe. Or he really just didn't want to see me." I interrupted Carlos, already knowing he was going to ask if James was gay. I had no idea. I felt guilty when a part of me hoped he was.
"I think he's in denial." Carlos shrugged. "I'll talk to him later... and I guess that's when I'll tell him that I'm..." Carlos trailed off and he frowned.
"It'll be okay. I don't think he'll stop being your friend. You're the only person he has left."
Carlos nodded in agreement.
Carlos and I walked back into the living room.
"Who was it?" Kendall asked.
"James." Carlos replied. Kendall stared at us for a while before nodding.
"What'd he have to say?"
"He was just wondering why I've been acting a little weird lately... He didn't know you two were here."
Kendall looked sad.
If you haven't guessed already, Carlos is gay. He realized a few months after Kendall and I started dating. He told Kendall and me but was scared to tell James because of how James reacted to Kendall.
"Guys, I gotta get going. My mom needs help grocery shopping." Kendall chuckled. "Logan, do you want a ride home?"
"I can give him a ride home." Carlos reassured Kendall.
"Alright, see you guys. Love you, Logan."
"Love you too." I felt weird saying it... I felt like it wasn't the truth. I cared for Kendall, I really did. But it felt weird every time we exchanged an "I love you" or every time we had sex.
Not the good kind of weird, either.
Kendall left Carlos' house.
Carlos and I sat there in silence.
"Logan?" Carlos asked, finally breaking the silence.
"Hm?" I responded.
"Maybe you should talk to James... since he lives down the street from you... His mother is never home after eight, so you could go then."
"Carlos, he'll probably murder me." I sighed.
"Logan, please!" Carlos looked at me with a heartbreaking look. "I miss being friends with all of you guys."
I couldn't say no to the look he was giving me. "Fine..."
"Yay! Thanks so much!"
"No problem." I chuckled at how happy Carlos was.
Carlos and I spent the rest of the day together and finally at 7, Carlos drove me home.
"Are you still gonna go to James'?"
"Yes."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome..." I sighed.
"What's wrong?" Carlos asked.
"I'm scared shitless. I haven't talked to James in such a long time."
"Just relax. He's still the same funny James..." Carlos looked like he didn't mean to say that.
"What's the matter?"
"I... well he's a lot sadder than he was before."
I nodded. "Understandable."
"Cheer him up. He barely makes his awesome jokes anymore and I really miss them."
"I'll try." I smiled.
At eightish, I walked out my door and down the street to the Diamond residence. James' mom's car was gone and I was relieved.
I rang the doorbell. I heard footsteps approaching the door and with each footstep, my heart began to beat faster.
I heard the lock unlock and that's when I saw James in front of me.
"Logan? Why are you here?" He didn't sound too happy.
"I wanna talk to you."
"Go ahead."
"Can I come inside? It's kinda cold..."
James scoffed and moved out of the way so I could enter his house.
"Well, start talking." James snapped.
"James, can we please just be friends again? I miss you so much. So does Kendall. Our fighting is effecting Carlos too. Why do you hate me so much? I've told you much worse things than the fact that I like boys." I replied.
James was quiet.
"James, please tell me what's wrong."
"I don't appreciate the fact that you chose Kendall."
"W-what?"
"Why'd you choose Kendall?" James looked like he was about to cry. I was beyond confused. Is this why James had hated us all these years?
"I chose Kendall cause he's the one who made me realize who I really was." I replied, softly.
"I could've done that too, you know." James didn't meet my gaze. I gulped.
"James... are you-"
"If you say what I think you're gonna say, get out of my house."
"James, what the hell! You can't just tell me you wish I would've picked you and then say you're not gay."
"Get out of my house. Now." James snapped, glaring at me.
"James... just know that I miss the shit out of you and if you ever wanna be friends again, I'm here." I said softly. James didn't reply so I began to turn around to leave his house.
"Wait, Logan..." I turned to face James.
"Yes?"
"I... just forget what I said."
"What do you mean?" I asked, slightly hurt.
"Pretend I never said what I said."
"Alright... Can we be friends again?"
James shrugged.
I sighed. "Well, see ya later. Like I said, I'm here."
James nodded and I headed to the door.
