Kendall had finally got Carlos to calm down and go to sleep and was lying in his room, trying to keep himself calm. He felt broken, too broken to cry. He had been through enough in the past month and now James was back to his normal ways. There was a feeling of betrayal as Kendall realised that he couldn't trust anyone anymore. His so called best friend James had somehow managed to get Logan to make out with him in an empty office without much fuss from Logan apparently. He stared at the ceiling as the minutes ticked by.

He let out a sigh and the box in his pocket became apparent once again. He pulled it out and opened it up revealing the ring he had spent ages trying to find. It was almost identical to the one Kendall had bought for Logan's birthday a few years ago that Logan still didn't take off but this one had 'I love you' engraved on the outside with a small encrusted diamond at either end of the engraving. He read the words above the ring in the lid of the box and he could have sworn he felt his heart break in his chest

"Together forever

I love you Logan"

Kendall closed the box and threw it across the room, not caring where it landed. It could have flown out of the window for all he cared. Logan obviously didn't love him as much as he said he did, so why should he ever bother?

Kendall ran his fingers backwards through his hair and took a deep breath. He needed some air, some time to think. He left a note on the table so if Carlos woke up he would know where he had gone and then headed down to the pool.

~.~.~

The pool was empty so Kendall took his usual spot and closed his eyes, taking in the fresh air. It was slightly cold seeing as it was about 9 but he didn't care. He was almost drifting off to sleep when he heard movement. He sat up and looked around to see Logan standing there looking at the floor. Kendall laid back and let out a deep sigh

"Come to tell me you're eloping with James?" Logan swallowed and folded his arms, shivering slightly.

"I guess Carlos told you then..." He said quietly.

Kendall nodded "Damn right he told me. What were you doing Logan? Do you really love him that much?" Kendall snapped.

Logan flinched slightly at his tone and bit his lip.

"Kendall... I'm sorry..."

"Sorry doesn't cover it Logan. You cheated on me, WITH MY EX"

"me cheated? You were the one that cheated first!"

"What are you going on about? I haven't cheated with anyone! Do you REALLY think I would do that to you?"

"To be honest Kendall I really don't know"

"Oh well if you think that then maybe we shouldn't be going out!"

"FINE maybe we shouldn't!" Kendall was thrown by Logan's reply and couldn't think of a comeback. Logan turned and stormed off, rage in his expression. Had they really just broken up? Kendall pulled his knees up to his chest as realisation finally kicked in. He felt numb. He had just lost the one guy he had ever loved so much it hurt and there was nothing he could do. He had no one to cry to either. James was the reason they had broken up and Carlos wasn't in a good enough state to help him. His mom would find it awkward trying to comfort him and Katie was too young to understand. He buried his face in his knees and sobbed to himself, barely noticing when an arm wrapped around him.

"Shh, shh it'll be okay" Kendall looked up to see Ashton wrapping a blanket around him. He pulled it over his shoulders and leant his head against Ashton's shoulder as he rocked him and tried to calm him down.

"No it won't. He hates me, he loves James, he hates me" Kendall continued to sob as Ashton rubbed his arm.

"Who? Logan? Logan could never hate you! Even I can see that" Kendall pulled away to look at him

"We broke up Ashton... He's going to hate me... They all will" Ashton let out a sigh

"Things will sort themselves out Kendall, they always do. He loves you, anyone can see that, just give him time to calm down, and as fir him liking James, He looks at you differently. A good different though. He is in love with you, I can tell. James? Just a crush" Kendall looked at him a little confused

"How can you tell?" Ashton chuckled

"I'm an actor dude; all I do is read body language" Kendall half smiled

"your really cool, you know that?" They smiled at each other and soon enough Ashton had Kendall up off the lounger and into the lobby in the warmth.

"Okay, well I have to go Kendall, but just give him time? And don't be too hard on him, what he did was wrong I know, but he does love you, he's probably kicking himself right now because of what he did" Kendall looked down at the floor and sighed

"Your right... How long is 'time'?" Kendall asked looking up for a second.

"As long as it takes him to come to you. I'd give it a week or so and if there's no signs of him coming back, do what you we're originally going to. You still have the ring right?" Kendall shook his head

"I threw it across the room..." Ashton sighed and put his hands in his pockets.

"Okay, well find it and tell him exactly what you told me, that was an amazing speech and if you mean every word he'll come right back, but don't ask him straight away" Kendall chuckled slightly and shook his head

"You're too good with all of this" Ashton went to walk away but he was stopped by Kendall

"Thank you" They both smiled

"That's alright, I don't want to see you throw away the best relationship anyone could have over a mistake" Kendall looked at the floor

"I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, see you then"

Kendall turned and headed up to the apartment, an ache still present in his heart but he knew that things could get better, or at least that's what he hoped.
