As it turns out, when I'm
jealous, the only person I seem
to make a fool of is myself

"Logan, can I talk to you?"

All four boys look up to find Lucy and Camille standing by their pool chairs, looking at the brains of Big Time Rushexpectantly. The genius puts down the book he'd be reading to regard the rocker chick that has just spoken.

"Sure, okay." He stands and follows Lucy has she leads to him to the edge of the pool closest to the lobby doors.

The boys all follow them with their eyes before turning back to face the method actress, unsure of why she didn't follow the rocker and the genius. "Do you want to sit down?" James asks, gesturing to the now empty chair that Logan had just vacated.

Camille shakes her head. "No thanks. I actually need to talk to Kendall."

Said boy's eyebrows go up in surprise at this, but he shrugs and stands anyways. "Okay." He follows her to the opposite end of the pool and waits until she turns back to face him completely before speaking. "What's up?"

"I think I should be asking you the same question."

Kendall sighs. "This is about the singing isn't it?"

The actress nods. "Yeah. Logan came to my apartment and he was singing 'Til I Forget About You and it didn't exactly seem like he really wanted to. What's going on?"

"I have no idea." He tells her honestly. "It started a week ago and we've been singing to each other ever since. The whole thing is actually really confusing."

"Confusing?" The brunette cocks her head to the side. "How so?"

Kendall sighs again, running a hand through his hair. "The whole thing is confusing! I don't know why we're singing. I don't know why we're singing what we're singing. I don't know how I feel about the fact that I'm randomly forced to serenade my best friend. And now-on top of all of that…I don't know how I feel about Logan anymore." He flops down on one of the empty pool chairs, burying his face in his hands.

Camille takes a hesitant step towards him, gently placing her hand on his shoulder. "What do you mean?"

"I mean before he was my best friend now…"

"Now?"

"I don't know. I think it might be more than that."

Purely for the sake of helping her friend realize his quite obvious feelings (and maybe a little bit because it's true), Camille smirks and tells him, "Well I'd suggest you figure it out, because Logan has been looking really good lately." She doesn't miss the way the blonde's head snaps up and he glares at her. "I won't make a move if you like him. But if you don't…"

"Excuse me…can I please talk to you for a minute?"

Camille blinks in surprise as Kendall stands up, suddenly singing. She grins as she recognizes the song he's singing. "I thought we were talking. Is there something else you'd like to say?"

"You need to give it up. I've had about enough." Camille smirks but says nothing. "The boy is mine!"

And then, just because she knows the song and she knows it will egg him on, Camille starts singing too. "I'm sorry that you seem to be confused."

Kendall shakes his head, his eyes flashing almost like he's angry. "He belongs to me. The boy is mine."

Camille raises an eyebrow at the blonde as he finishes singing. "Are you sure you're confused?" Before he can answer, however, she walks off, going back to sit with James and Carlos who torn between watching him and where Lucy and Logan seem to be having a similar conversation,

The truth is Kendall isn't sure about anything. He's definitely still confused though. Granted he's less confused-there is really only one way to interpret that little jam session-but he's still confused.

He watches Logan and Lucy, becoming even more confused as Logan quickly runs out of the pool area and back into the lobby. The blonde makes his way over to Lucy, intent on finding out what exactly happened during her discussion with the genius.

Hopefully something will come along and help him clear up this confusion, because something tells him that eventually someone is going to break. His just not sure if it will be Lucy, Logan, or himself.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

Lucy doesn't even hesitate. "Look, what's going on with you and Kendall?"

The genius blinks, a bit taken aback by her forwardness. "I wish I knew. We won't stop singing." He frowns in confusion. "But I'm sure Kendall must have told you all about that."

"He didn't. James and Carlos did though. That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

Lucy sighs. "I mean, what's going on between you and Kendall."

This time Logan gets what she means. "Nothing." He says stubbornly, crossing his arms over his chest. "There's nothing going on."

The rocker raises an eyebrow. "I don't believe that."

Logan's jaw drops in surprise. "Then why were you asking?"

"Because I wanted you to have a chance to tell me. I want things to be fair."

"What?" This is not at all what he expected the conversation to be when he'd stood up and followed Lucy a moment ago. "Listen. I swear I am not trying to make a move on him." He drops his gaze to the floor, his voice sounding sad for the first time. "Kendall deserves better than me."

The rocker chick's gaze softens as she takes in the slumped figure of the boy before her. "Don't say that. You're a great person. Anyone would be lucky to have you. Even Kendall."

Logan looks up, brown meeting brown. "But I thought you liked him."

Lucy nods. "I do. But if he chooses to be with someone else it's not going to be the end of the world. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Until he chooses someone else, I'm not going to stop pursuing him. But…if he does choose you, I'll back off and be happy for you guys. I'm hoping you'll do the same for me."

The genius opens his mouth to tell her that that's what he's been trying to do since he realized she liked Kendall, but to his horror that's not what comes out.

"Excuse me, can I please talk to you for minute."

Lucy watches in shock as he sings, the brunette looking more and more horrified with every word that comes out of his mouth.

"You need to give it up. I've had about enough. It's not hard to see the boy is mine." He can vaguely hear Kendall in the distance and knows, like every other time, that his best friend has not been spared this particular jam session either.

"The boy is mine."

The rocker and the bookworm just stare at each other for a few moments, both blinking and not sure what to say to one another. Logan's entire face flushes red and he manages to squeak out the words "I'm sorry" before taking off for the lobby as if his life depended on it.

Lucy's not really sure if she should follow him or not. She doesn't really feel like the conversation is exactly over, but she can also tell that whatever just happened has freaked the genius out and is clearly not what he was trying to say. Before she can decide one way or the other, however, Kendall walks over to her.

"Uh, what was that about?" He questions, pulling Lucy's attention away from the lobby where Logan had disappeared. He's not angry, just curious.

Instead of responding to his question, the rocker chick grabs his shirts and yanks him towards her, kissing him soundly. When she pulls back Kendall stares at her, green eyes wide in shock.

"I think," she tells him breathlessly, "that you need to make a decision soon. Or you're just going to hurt people." And by people the blonde knows she means herself and Logan.

Then she walks around him, back to where James, Carlos, and Camille are watching the scene with interest.

Kendall stands there, trying to collect his thoughts and figure out what the hell just happened. A tug in his chest directs his gaze to the lobby and he looks up, half expecting to see Logan standing there, watching him. There's no sign of the little genius and Kendall is actually disappointed. He brings his fingers up to touch his lips, thinking about the kiss he'd just received.

Then he searches what he can see of the lobby for his best friend one last time.

Well, at least he isn't confused any more.
