The Truth Is Hard To Handle
Logan's POV
I pace back and forth in the room Kendall, James, and Carlos were placed into. Carlos sits in a corner, tapping his hands against his knees. Kendall and James sit at the table, rocking back and forth in their chairs.
We all turn our heads towards the door as we hear the knob opening. The door opens and nothing is there. Then, Elena, Amanda, Erika, and Kameryn are in the doorway.
Kendall falls off his chair and hits the ground with a thud. James and Carlos just stare, and I'm pretty sure my jaw has hit the ground. Kameryn…she's different than she used to look. Her blonde hair is up in a bun with strands of hair falling around her face. She is wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a light green button up shirt, with a white lace cami peeking out from underneath. Her jeans are tucked in a pair of brown boots, and she looks very…official.
The four step into the room and someone closes the door behind them. They remain in their spots near the door, just staring at us.
"Okay, want to explain what the heck is going on here?" Kendall snaps.
"Nice to see you too Knight." Elena snaps back.
Kendall stands up and makes his way around the table and ends up standing next to me. "Yes, it's so nice to see you too Elena, because I always love seeing people who leave me heartbroken in the middle of parties!"
"Have you forgotten that I can heart your break neck in two?" Elena threatens.
Kendall lets out a fake laugh. "Oh, like how you broke my heart?"
"Okay, knock it off you too." Erika intervenes, stepping between Kendall and Elena, who were practically in each others' faces yelling. "We understand you guys have questions, and I think its' about time we answer them."
"Ain't that the truth." I mutter.
"We all decided a year ago it would be best if our worlds didn't mingle." Erika explains. "Meaning, we thought it be best if all of us didn't date or had any contact. That way, we were hoping that you could just move on."
"And I think that is pretty obvious Kendall has moved on by the way he makes out with Jo." Elena sneers.
I put my hand out, stopping Kendall from taking a step further. "Let them finish." I say. Kendall takes a step back, and I lower my arm.
"Before Kendall explodes," James begins, standing up from his chair. "We just don't understand how you think we could just 'move on' from you girls. You saved our lives, you changed us. Every time I'm with Rachel-"
"Rachel?" Amanda interrupts. "You didn't mention a Rachel the other day when you pulled me into a kiss!"
"You too kissed?" I exclaim. "So that means you two saw each other! Did any of you see each other too?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Carlos stand up. I turn and face him, as does the rest of the room. "Erika and I kind of saw each other…"
"And we kissed. A lot." Erika finishes.
"And Elena says that I make out with Jo a lot." Kendall points out, a smug look on his face. "Meaning that she has been watching me."
"Did I mean nothing to you!" I shout at Kameryn. The room falls silent, and all eyes are on Kameryn and me. "Amanda and James kissed, as did Carlos and Erika. Elena even took time out of her schedule to stalk Kendall! Did anything we have mean nothing?"
"I was in New York teaching." Kameryn replies. There is no regret in her voice; no guilt. No emotion at all. "Excuse me for having a life."
"I can't even tell you how happy I am that you are out of my life." I say. "Let's just keep everything like it has been for the past year."
"Fine with me." Kameryn says.
I walk over to the door and open it, only to find a tall man outside the door. "I'm sorry," The man says. "But I'm afraid they have to be part of your lives again."
Kendall's POV
The eight of us follow this man named Agent Gomez down the hall and into another room, where there are eight chairs set up. James, Carlos, and I sit on one side of the room, while the girls sit on the other. Agent Gomez takes seat at a desk in front of us.
"Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan," Agent Gomez begins. "As you know, a year ago you were in danger at the hand of Charles West, along with five girls. Now, those five girls have escaped and are under the orders of Jackson East."
"Jackson East?" Carlos laughs. "Where are North and South?"
"Carlos!" Erika scowls as I give Carlos a slap to the arm. James and Logan shake their heads at Carlos before Agent Gomez reassumes talking.
"Jokes aside, we have reason to believe that you four are in danger again." Agent Gomez explains. "Like in New York, the girls will be assigned to protect the four of you."
"Can't we get someone different?" Logan pleads, and I see his eyes are on Kameryn.
"Miss Caridth, Miss Anderson, Miss Castriel, and Miss Grace are the most experienced with you four. Would you prefer four forty year old men instead?"
"We'll suck it up." James says, smiling at Amanda. I roll my eyes at the sight of them. Carlos elbows me in the side, and I give him a glare in return.
"I understand there is a lot of tension in the room, but I'm sure you eight can work past it." Agent Gomez says.
"Yeah, and I'm Santa Claus." Elena sneers.
"As for where you girls will be staying…"
"I swear if you say their staying at the Palm Woods…" I threaten.
"And to your disappointment, Mr. Knight, yes, Miss Caridth, Anderson, Castriel, and Grace will be staying at the Palm Woods."
"But only kids in up and coming in show business can stay at the Palm Woods." Logan points out. Him and I high five, and receive glares from James and Carlos.
"Yes, and the girls will be posing as an upcoming acts." Agent Gomez states.
"Sounds like a stupid movie or book." I mumble.
"Elena, due to her background in gymnastics, will pose as a background dancer on a television show." Agent Gomez says, ignoring my comment. "Amanda will be posing as an upcoming actress in a movie, and Erika will pose as an actress in an upcoming television show. Kameryn, due to her piano playing skills, will pose as an upcoming musician."
"This is unbelievable." I say to myself.
"Until the capture of the five girls and Mr. East, you will be under the protection of the girls." Agent Gomez says. He presses a button on his desk and moments later, two agents enter the other room.
"Agents Duncan and Shay will take you all back to the Palm Woods." Agent Gomez says. We stand up and follow the agents out of the building and into a Jeep. I could feel Elena's dagger of eyes staring at the back of the head as we ride back to the Palm Woods. I sink lower in my seat, wishing all of this could just be over.
