Chapter 7 - The Dreams
"You don't know what you're talking about. It's not possible we're talking about the same thing here, you're just guessing stuff." Logan said. He was starting to panic, there was no way that Kendall was talking about his past there was no way that Kendall could know. His heart was racing and he started to breathe harder. "I'm sorry, but I'm telling you the truth." Kendall said. He wasn't any better off than Logan, he wanted to cry, he felt like he had just woken up after having another one of those dreams.
James bit his lip, he could see that Kendall was barely holding on. It pained him to see his best friend like that, yet there was nothing he could do.
Carlos had calmed down a little, and seeing the blonde boy like that, completely diminished his previous anger at the boy. It was clear to him now, Kendall had seen more than either he and Logan thought he did, heck he'd probably seen more than that Logan had told him just a few months ago.
"I've seen you suffer for years, and all I ever could do was watch. I couldn't even close my eyes." By now Kendall was openly crying, "And worst of all I didn't know what caused you to cry." He said, and let out a sob. "But then… then I… I finally saw the cause, and it was even worse than not knowing it at all. T-to see a grown man beat such a young boy so severe…" He didn't know how to describe how he had felt after, or even during, he saw it.
James had to look away. He'd never seen Kendall shed a tear, let alone sob out loud, and it hurt him to see him like that. He wanted so badly to go over and comfort him, but he couldn't, Kendall and Logan had to work this out together. He and Carlos couldn't interfere. The words Kendall spoke didn't help either, it made him want to cry even more.
Logan's mind was flooding with memory's of the beatings. He started to tremble, he didn't want to remember he only wanted to forget it ever even happened. He was crying even more, and it all became too much so he screamed and sank to his knees sobbing hysterically.
Carlos didn't fare well either. As he watched his friend start to tremble. The sudden scream of agony Logan led out didn't help him either. He made a move to go over to his friend but was stopped by James, who shook his head when Carlos looked at him. "But-" he began but James interrupted, "Don't." was all he said, and he motioned to Logan. When Carlos looked over he saw Kendall kneel down in front of Logan and wrapped his arms around him, trying to comfort him.
Suddenly the door opened and Laura, Jacob and Mrs. Knight walked in, all looking worried, having heard Logan's scream. "What's going on?" Mrs. Knight asked. "Logan, are you alright? What happened?" Laura asked. And as soon as she saw him on his knees and sobbing on Kendall's shoulder, who was also shedding tears, she rushed over. Mrs. Knight Repeated her question and looked expectantly at James and Carlos, who could answer easier seeing as the other two clearly couldn't utter a word about it without sobbing even more.
Carlos opened his mouth to answer but James cut him off before he could even begin, "Kendall told them." Was all he told her. Mrs. Knight was a little confused for a second, but quickly realized what James meant. "Why?" was all she asked. "To proof he wasn't lying about the dreams." James said. "It's my fault, I asked what he was talking about." Carlos said, feeling guilty since he was the one who pushed for an answer as to what Kendall and James were talking about. "I never thought he would hit the nail on the head when I asked though." He mumbled.
As Laura knelt next to the boys she heard Kendall whisper, "It's okay, your safe, I've got you. Shh shh shh, I'm right here, just calm down. You're safe, I'll protect you." She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her 'son' was actually calming down, usually it took her hours to even get Logan to start to calm down. Yet here he was calming down in mere seconds, by a boy he met barely two weeks ago. Now she was sure they finally found Logan's real family. "You're really my brother, aren't you?" Logan softly whispered. He felt Kendall nod on his shoulder.
At that Laura got a little smile on her face. She stood up and walked over to her husband and Mrs. Knight."Come on. Let's let them work it out." She told them. Jacob nodded, he knew his wife knows Logan better than he does and if she thought he could handle it, then so did he. Mrs. Knight however was a little hesitant, but agreed, and followed them back downstairs.
When the door closed Logan and Kendall parted. "I'm sorry." Logan said. He felt a little ashamed for crying like a 4 year old. "You've got nothing to be sorry for." Kendall said.
"You guys okay now?" James asked. "Yeah, I think so." Logan answered. "Do you believe me now?" Kendall asked. "Well I'm getting close to doing so, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high. I think I'll completely believe it when the results of the DNA Test are in. But I do think that there's something special about you, when you comforted me back there I felt really safe for some reason." Logan said, blushing a little at his honesty. "I do believe you about the dreams, but I'm not completely sure about the brother part though." He finished. "Alright, I can live with that, for now." Kendall said, as he gave him a little smile. Which seemed to make Logan smile a little too.
They talked some more, but about general stuff instead of the dreams this time though. It started to get late and they suddenly heard Mrs. Knight yell, "Kendall! James! Time to go!" Kendall sighed. "Well, time to go. See you guys tomorrow."
Kendall said and stood up. Logan grabbed his wrist. "Please, don't go. Can you stay the night? I don't want to be alone tonight." He pleaded. Kendall smiled. "Sure, let's ask our parents." He said.
"OH!" Carlos exclaimed excited. "Why not make it a slumber party? We can watch movies, play games and all that stuff." he said already getting excited.
"Sounds good to me, what about you?" Kendall asked Logan. "Sure. Sounds like fun." Logan answered. Kendall then looked at James. "I'll call my mom." he said with a smile.
Mrs. Knight was getting a little impatient. "Kendall, c'mon! It's late!" she yelled up the stairs. "Urgh, boys." Katie said. Just then the boys came bolting down the stairs.
"Mom! Can I sleep over?""Mom! Can the guys sleep over?"Kendall and Logan asked at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed a little, but quickly looked back at their mothers pleadingly.
"Well... if it's okay with Jennifer and Carlos' and James' parents, it's okay with me." Laura said.
"Mom always says I don't even need to ask, just let her know where I am." Carlos said."Just called mine, it's okay with her." James said. Then the boys all looked pleadingly at Mrs. Knight.
"It's okay with me. Just let me grab your 'Back up Backpacks', as you call them." she said. "Told you they'd come in handy." Kendall said with a smirk.
