I'm back! Told you I would post before the month was over and I made it a goal of mine to accomplish.
Sorry for any mistakes.

"Hi?" Logan realizes that he phrased it as a question, but what does one say to their former best friend and current leader of his bullies?
Kendall smiles at his old friend, kind of missing those innocent brown eye that always hold a crap ton of information. "I'm sorry for everything, Logan." He says, hoping the boy could forgive him after all these years.
Logan is kind of surprised, but he doesn't believe it. He nods to acknowledge Kendall, but his eyes are focused on everything other than the blonde next to him or the energetic one next to James. The last thing Logan wants right now is to deal with this.
An awkward silence fills the living room.
James looks at his 3 friends, knowing that no one is going to speak; he stands up and grabs the remote. He flips off the TV and turns to his friends, "Okay, guys. We need to have a serious talk." He begins, the 3 boys shift uncomfortably on the couch. "Follow me to the kitchen." James walks away.
Logan, Carlos, and Kendall glance at each other before following. They all take seats at the kitchen table.
James smiles, "Alright. We all know what the elephant in the room is, so who wants to begin?"
"I will." Carlos chimes. He turns to Logan and looks him in the eyes. "Logan I am so sorry for…bullying you all these years. You are a really cool guy and I'm mad at myself for acting like a douche. Can you ever forgive me?"
Logan is appalled. He never though letting James into his life could bring back his old friends…. But is that what he wants?
"No." Logan says coldly.
The boys are shocked into silence.
Carlos looks like a sad child. He has the cutest sad face ever. "No?"
"No, Carlos. I'm not forgiving you." His voice getting louder.
Kendall jumps up, banging hard on the table, causing the boys to jump. "Why are you being such a jerk!" He yells as his face reddens from anger.
Logan is fuming. "I'm the jerk? It was you jerks that spent years tormenting me for your popularity. You assholes almost succeeded in your first suicide victim. If I didn't have my mom…."
He rolls his eyes at their surprised faces. He looks to James, "Guess all your stalking didn't pick up on that, huh?"
Kendall sits down, suddenly not knowing what to say. He feels like a knife tore through his heart. Did he really make Logie want to kill himself?
Carlos is on the verge of tears.
James buries his face in hands. He wasn't expecting this to happen. All he wanted was a nice time with Logan, and then Kendall and Carlos show up. Maybe he shouldn't have even talked to Logan. They did make some progress with Logan actually starting to love himself, but now James feels as if he took the poor guy back to high school. "Oh my god." He says.
Logan huffs, "Look, I'm not trying to make you feel sorry for me. I'm just saying that what you guys did to me is not okay. If you really want to be friends again then it's going to take more than some pizza and an apology."
James looks up when he hears the waiver in Logan's voice. "You're crying."
Logan's eyes widen, and he quickly wipes at them. "I gotta go." Logan stands up and leaves.
James sighs and brushes his hair back with his hands, "What the hell were you guys thinking?"
Kendall rolls his eyes, "You're the one that decided we should be friends with him again in the first place."
"Is that your way of saying you don't care to be friends with Logan again?" James counters.
Carlos hops up, "Look, we made our bed. Logan told us what we have to do to be friends with him again, We need to earn his trust back. But how."
Kendall sits in defeat, "I don't know, but I'm tired of this. This division is all my fault. Me trying to be cool like my dad, and like my dad, I almost ruined someone I love. We need to get him back. No matter how long it takes."
Logan hurries down the lonely hallway. He sees the door to the stairwell coming up on his left and the elevators about 100 ft. away, "I can use some time to think anyway." He mumbles, deciding to take the stairs. As he goes to open the door a strong hand crushes his shoulder.
"Hey, Logan."
Jett.
Even worse, a pissed off Jett.
Before Logan can process what's happening, he's spun around and pinned against the wall. Logan can't believe how bad Jett looks.
The pretty man is sporting a black eye, a cut on his cheek, and a slow-healing cut on his lip.
"What happened to you?" Logan asks, not understanding why he cares.
Jett adds more pressure to his hold, making it more difficult for Logan to breathe. "You happened. You blabbed to your friends about our extracurriculars and Kendall and Carlos got fist happy with my face. My handsome face is gone because of you. And now that I have nothing to lose, I am gonna tear you to pieces."
The smoke coming from Logan's ears must be invisible, because Jett's not realizing how pissed the smart one is right now. "Look Jett, whatever they did to you is not my fault. I don't even like them. Now get off me."
"This is all your fault!" Jett screams. He pulls his fist back and punches Logan in the face.
Logan pushes Jett hard, causing Jett to slap the back of his head against the wall. Logan is on him in a second, sending a hard punch to his face with a deafening roar.
The residents who are home start to come out of their apartments to see what's going on.
James, Carlos, and Kendall run out of an apartment further down the hall to see Jett roar and tackle Logan like a linebacker into the door of the stairwell.
The force breaks the door, sending the boys tumbling down the flight of metal stairs.
The 3 boys scream and run to the stairwell. They find the boys on the ground. Blood is seeping out of Logan. Jett's head is at an impossible angle.
Both boys are deathly still.
Hope you enjoyed it! Please review and follow and favorite and stuff!
One last chapter on the way. I've already started it, but I'm hoping to give it some length. Let's see what happens.
