.:Chapter Four:.
Carlos tossed and turned, letting out small grunts of frustration every time he tried to get comfortable. Finally, he sat up and rested against the headboard of his bed. He turned his head, marveling at the fact that James was fast asleep without a care in the world. He bet Kendall and Logan was sleeping soundly as well. They weren't the ones that had to deal with his problem.
They said that they would help, well, James did, but he knew that for the most part they weren't going to be able to help him. He had to do it all on his own.
Carlos put his arms behind his head as he looked up at the ceiling. He wondered what his parents would think. If they were in LA, instead of Mama Knight, he would have told them instantly. They would have known that something was wrong just by looking at him. He was sure that Mrs. Knight knew that something was wrong, but since she wasn't Carlos's mother, she wasn't going to pry. Part of him loved her for that, keeping his privacy, but another part wanted to yell at her. To say 'ask me what's going on, I know you know that something is wrong' just so he had an excuse to tell someone else.
They were going to have to tell her eventually and Gustavo and Kelly. But it would be better if they just started with their own parents, they knew that Gustavo would be pissed so they were going to hold off on that as long as possible.
Carlos chuckled to himself at the thought of Gustavo screaming at him for getting his girlfriend pregnant. He could see Gustavo's face turning red, the veins popping out on his neck. It would probably send him to the hospital for his high blood pressure. It would be hysterical if it wasn't so serious.
Carlos sighed.
It was a secret he was going to have to keep.
He had too many secrets. They are not his; he was not the type to do anything that would need to be kept secret, but instead they are his friends' secrets. James had a habit of sneaking out to clubs, even after Mrs. Knight had forbid them to go to one. He said that he wanted to go and see what it was like, and he hadn't stopped going since. Kendall typically had a habit of sneaking in after curfew from being with Jo. Who knew what they were doing, Carlos didn't care; he just hoped that they wouldn't end up in the same situation he was. Logan…you would think that Logan was too nice, too sensible to do anything wrong, and for the most part he was. He wouldn't do anything that would cause anyone to look at him funny. But he still had a secret. For a project he tried to prove that he could hack into a government system, and he had succeeded, and every now and then he continued to do it. Just to prove that nothing was safe from a hacker, that's what he said anyway.
They had all told him these things, separately, and he had kept them quiet. The thing about Carlos though, the thing that made him different, is that he never tells secrets. And he never wondered if he should, because secrets are secrets are secrets and should not be told. Because he was told that it was the wrong thing to do.
But this time, it was the right thing to do.
It's the right thing to do.
A/N: Sorry it was a short chapter, I just needed to throw in some more angst for Carlos before I got to him and Stephanie telling their parents what was going on. I hope that you guys liked it anyway.
