Chapter 8: Because of You
James woke the next morning with a killer headache and someone next to him. James' eyes went wide as he realized someone was in bed with him. He had not intended to sleep with Carlos this soon. He didn't want to ruin what he had with the Latino. They had only been on two dates and they weren't even officially a couple yet. He didn't want to move to fast and ruing things. He sat up and looked at the sleeping figure next to him. It was Dak.
"Dak," he said shaking the younger man. Dak groaned and sat up. He blinked a few times as he looked at James through sleepy eyes. "What happened last night?" he asked.
"What don't remember how you came onto me and then you wouldn't let me leave this bed no matter how hard I tried?" Dak asked sitting up and stretching. "Every time I tried to even get out of this bed you pulled me right back," he said.
"What?" James asked.
"You were drunk and I was being a good friend and I brought you home," Dak said looking at James as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"How did we end up in my bed together? You know I am with Carlos now," James said glaring slightly as Dak.
"Oh I am sorry, but you came on to me not the other way around. I tried to stop you but you're not only got the height advantage you're stringer too. I didn't go thinking of ways to ruin you're relationship like you did when you fucked Dustin while he was with Logan," Dak spat. He got out of bed and gathered his clothes.
"That was a mistake," James said annoyed.
"So the other five or six times were as well? You don't realize you become a completely different person when you're drunk. All you want is sex," Dak asked, "beside even when you're sober I know you too well James, you can't stick to one person for long, and you want what you can't have," he said shaking his head as he got dressed.
"Carlos is different," James said. Carlos really was different from all the others he had dated. Carlos was sweet and down to earth and not yet tainted by the Hollywood spotlight.
"So was Jett and look how that turned out for me," Dak said.
"I really like Carlos," James said.
"I really liked Jett," Dak said annoyed that James was making this about himself.
"Carlos is different," James insisted.
"I won't tell anyone," Dak said as he finished dressing. He looked at James who was staring at him shocked.
"Dak," James said.
"James I really won't. I mean no one knows about us anyways. I haven't told anyone about you and Dustin have I? I know better than that," Dak said as he started for the door. He walked out of the apartment.
James fell back on his bed hands covering his face. This was not the way to start a relationship. James had only been on two dates with Carlos and one drunken night and he fucked Dak. He was going to have to keep this from Carlos, cause it meant nothing, he didn't care for Dak. He just did not care for him that way. He liked Carlos not Dak. Dak was just a friend who he used to fuck that's all.
Dak was sweet though, and kind and very caring. Dak was everything James would want in a good boyfriend, but he liked Carlos not Dak. Carlos was great too. He was funny and got James and he wasn't afraid to speak his mind. He was perfect just like Dak.
"Fuck," James groaned.
-Better Than I Know Myself-
Kendall was in the kitchen making a smoothie in the blender when he heard movement. He smirked as he turned the blender on. He knew Carlos would be hung over and this was kind of like punishment for nailing on Kendall all night and hardly saying two words to him at a time.
"Do you have to do that?" Carlos whined as he walked into the kitchen.
"I am hungry and I have another life to worry about so yes I do," Kendall said nodding his head.
"Well stop," Carlos whined. Kendall laughed and shook his head. He was evil.
"I can't help it you got wasted last night," Kendall said. He looked at the smoothie and it seemed to be finished. He turned the blender off and poured it into a glass.
"I hate you," Carlos hollered as he walked into the bathroom in search of aspirin.
"Love you to Carlos," Kendall called as he sat down at the table waiting for the Latino to return. Carlos returned a few minutes later.
"Oh god what happened last night," Carlos asked, "I remember hanging out with James and then we started drinking and things got a little fuzzy," he said.
"You two didn't do much other than dance a bit and make out," Kendall said shrugging.
"Make out?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah I lost track of you two for a bit and Dak and I found you two in a hallway making out and that's when we decided to leave," Kendall said nodding his head. Carlos blushed and looked away from Kendall.
"What about you and Logan how did things turn out for you?" Carlos asked changing the subject.
"It was ok," Kendall said, "several people asked how we met and Logan and I kept the story consistent since it's true for the most part," he said.
"Yeah, you didn't mention you're little bun did you?" Carlos asked.
"No, Logan wants to talk to Kelly about it before we go public," Kendall said looking down at his stomach.
"Is it me or does he talk to his manager a lot about what you two should do?" Carlos asked.
"He has to handle this carefully," Kendall said, "his career hangs in the balance and I don't want to ruin it," he added.
"It's your baby too," Carlos said.
"But you love Big Time Rush how would you feel if they didn't make any more music," Kendall asked. Carlos' jaw dropped. "Exactly," Kendall said smirking smugly.
"Ok you've got a point there," Carlos said, "but when are you gonna tell you're mother?" he asked.
"Oh shit I forgot all about that," Kendall said his smirk falling off his face.
"Yeah," Carlos said.
"I think she honestly thought Katie was going to make her a grandparent before you," Carlos said.
"Shut up," Kendall said. His cell phone started to ring. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it. "It's Camille," he said as he hit talk. "Hello?"
"Oh my god guess what I am looking at," Camille said.
"What?" Kendall asked curiously.
"I was surfing the net this morning and I came across a picture," Camille said slowly.
"Of what?" Kendall asked confused.
"You and Logan," Camille said.
"Already?" Kendall asked shocked. Sure he had expected news to get out fast, but it hadn't even been twelve hours yet.
"What?" Carlos asked.
"Camille's found a picture of me and Logan online," Kendall said to Carlos.
"Yeah, the caption says, 'Logan Mitchell and his latest boy toy.' It's a nice shot of you two walking together with your arms linked and smiling," Camille said.
"Wow, good news gets out fast," Kendall said shaking his head. He knew exactly when the picture had been taken just by the way Camille was describing it.
"Have you told people you're preggers yet?" Camille asked.
"No not yet," Kendall said laughing.
"Hey hurry up and get you're butt down to the coffee shop it's slow and I need someone to talk to and I don't want to make my cell phone bill that big," Camille said.
"Carlos and I will be down in a bit," Kendall said laughing.
"Hurry," Camille said.
"I can' only move so fast and you keeping me on the phone slows me down," Kendall said.
"Ok ok I'm hanging up now," Camille said.
"Bye," Kendall said and he hung up. He looked over at Carlos. "Camille wants us to visit with her since the morning is slow, and you look like you could use some coffee," he said.
"Let me go get changed and we can go," Carlos said standing up.
-Better Than I Know Myself-
Dak took a few deep breaths as he looked up at the apartment building before him. It was big and familiar. He wasn't sure what to do. He wasn't sure if he wanted to do this anymore. It had seemed like a good idea a few minutes ago, but now he wasn't so sure. He a driven around for hours and ended up back here again. He always ended up here. It was like a magnet pulling him back in. It was always pulling him in not matter how hard he fought.
"Come on Dak you can do this," he said to himself. He braced his hands on the steering wheel and sat there for a bit. Dak sighed as he looked up at the building again. The more he thought about what he was about to do, the more he wanted to leave. So, he would have to stop thinking about it and just do it. He took one last deep breath and got out of the car.
Dak walked up to the apartment building and pulled out the key he had been given. He unlocked the door and opened it. He hesitated for a moment before stepping into the building. He shook his head and just walked to the staircase. He took the stairs and reached the floor he was looking for.
This was it, his last chance to turn back. He could back out now and never have to deal with this again. It wasn't his fault James got drunk last night and came on to him. James had no one to blame but himself. James was an idiot who was only after sex and if he couldn't get it from someone he moved onto the next person in line. Carlos wouldn't give it to James so Dak was the next person in line.
Well, Dak wasn't going to let that happen anymore. He wasn't just a toy that James could use when he pleased. He wasn't tethered the James anymore. James was just his friend and nothing more. Dak needed to move on with his life. Dak had been so afraid to move on because of James. That was the reason Dak hadn't really dated anyone. He had been hoping that against all odds James would fall for Dak like Dak fell for him, but that wasn't happening anymore. Dak wasn't going to be afraid anymore. He was going to go out there and start dating and it all started now.
Dak braced himself as he walked down the hall to the apartment he knew too well. He stood in front of the door looking at it. All he had to do was knock. He lifted his hand and froze.
Could he do this? What would become of it? Was he ready to do this? He wasn't so sure this was a good idea.
No, he couldn't think about this anymore. He just had to do it and get it over with. There was no more thinking, he just had to do it. He knocked on the door and waited for it to open.
-Better Than I Know Myself-
Logan sighed as he sat in his living room with Kelly and James. They were talking but Logan wasn't really listening to a word they were saying. He was thinking about last night. He and Kendall had seemed to fool people. Everyone at the party had congratulated him for getting Kendall.
"Logan are you listening to me?" Kelly asked.
"Huh?" Logan asked turning to look at Kelly.
"I was asking how your song was coming," Kelly said.
"It's good," Logan said.
"How good?" Kelly asked, "is it down on paper yet?" she asked.
"No but it's all up here," Logan said pointing to his head. "Besides I helped with Time of Our Life," he said.
"Just get it done soon," Kelly said.
"You can't rush things like this Kel," Logan said.
"I have most of my song done," James said.
"Yeah well you work good under pressure I don't," Logan said. James nodded his head. "Oh Kelly can I ask when are we gonna tell people Kendall's pregnant," he asked.
"I don't know yet, but just keep up what you're doing," Kelly said. Logan nodded his head. He would have to call the blonde and set up another date soon.
