Chapter 14: Toxic
"Twins?" Carlos asked looking at Kendall shocked.
Kendall nodded his head. He had just gotten home from Logan's. He had texted Carlos after he and Logan worked things out. They both then called their parents to tell them they were getting not one but two grandbabies.
"Twins?" Carlos asked again.
"Yes Carlos, there are two lives growing inside of me, it's why I got so big so fast," Kendall said looking down at his stomach. He wasn't really that big yet, but the doctor had told him on his last visit that he was a bit bigger then he should've been for how far along he was. He had actually just started to show that he was pregnant.
"So a boy and a girl?" Carlos asked.
"That's what it look like," Kendall said bobbing his head slightly.
"Wow," Carlos said looking down at the pictures Kendal had.
"There's something else I have to tell you," Kendall said slowly.
"Ok what?" Carlos asked.
"In order for this whole thing to look real I've got to move in with Logan," Kendall said.
"Wait you're moving out?" Carlos asked.
"Only for a few months, once the babies are born Logan and I will raise them together for like a month or two then we'll 'drift apart' and I'll take the kids and leave we'll then agree to share custody," Kendall explained.
"Wow, I'm gonna be completely alone now," Carlos said shaking his head.
"What are you talking about?" Kendall asked
"I think James dumped me," Carlos said looking away form Kendall.
"Is that what you wanted to tell me when I got home?" Kendall asked. Carlos nodded his head. "What happened?"
"I must've pocket dialed him when I was with Steph and he heard our conversation and took it out of context and got upset. I got here about an hour ago and he was waiting for me and he was drunk and mad. He yelled at me and accused me of cheating and he said that I was no better than other people he had dated and he left," Carlos said tears stinging his eyes.
"Oh Carlos," Kendall said softly, "I had no idea, I can stay if you want," he said.
"No don't, go ahead and move in with Logan," Carlos said shaking his head.
"Wait, what happened with you and Stephanie?" Kendall asked.
"Stephanie got drunk and I brought her to a café to get some coffee in her to sober her up a bit and she started coming on to me a bit. I think that's the part James heard, he repeated what Step said," Carlos said.
"Carlos won't go if you need me," Kendall said placing a hand on Carlos' arm.
"I mean I was dating a pop star I should've known this wouldn't have lasted," he said.
"Carlos don't," Kendall said.
"I'll find someone," Carlos said.
"Ok, then I'll go," Kendall said. He stood up and started for his bedroom. "If you want I can sick Logan on James and have him kick his ass for you," Kendall offered.
"No that's ok," Carlos said shaking his head.
"Can I at least hit him when I see him next?" Kendall asked.
"No preggers, we don't need him hitting you back, you've got precious cargo to take care of," Carlos said grinning.
"Screw you," Kendall said flipping Carlos off. He then looked down at his stomach. Carlos was right though. He had to be careful. "You should at least try and talk to him again before you write him off. Maybe that was just the alcohol talking," he added.
Kendall the turned and made his way down to his bedroom. He wasn't sure how moving in with Logan would go. It would be odd not having Carlos around a lot. He had never not been around Carlos. Growing up they had been inseparable, hell they had never lived hat far apart. Carlos house had been two houses down from Kendall's. He was always in walking distance.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Dak yawned as he sat up. He stretched and someone shifted beside him. Dak looked over and saw James laying beside him once more. Dak's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe this happened again. Dak jumped up from the bed and startled James awake. James sat up and looked at him.
"What is your deal?" Dak snapped angrily. He quickly moved, grabbed a pair of his underwear and slipped them on. He crossed his arms and looked at James waiting for an answer.
"What do you mean?" James asked. He didn't even seemed the slightest bit fazed by the fact that he was naked and in Dak's bed when he was dating Carlos.
"You get into one fight and you come here and sleep with me? You're dating Carlos, not me. I'm not single anymore James, I am dating Jett and you have to get out of here," Dak said.
"I thought you didn't like Jett anymore," James said arching an eyebrow at Dak.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I am happy for once and the you and you just fuck things up for me. I mean seriously I was just getting things back together with my life," Dak said shaking his head. He looked down at James clothes on the floor. "I don't care what Carlos did or didn't do you have to get out of here," he said grabbing the brunette's clothes and throwing them at him.
"Oh come on Dak, don't be like that," James said getting out of the bed.
"You're dating Carlos, not me," Dak said.
"Not anymore, didn't I tell you he's a gold digging tramp," James asked calmly.
"You might've mentioned that, but that still doesn't change the fact that I am dating Jett now get dressed," Dak said. He grabbed a pair of his sweats and walked out of his room. He got them on once he was in the living room.
Dak sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He didn't know what to do. He could lie to Jett or tell him the truth. Lying to Jett wouldn't be good, but telling him the truth would be no good either. He was conflicted. This wasn't good. Dak just paced about his living room.
Several minutes later, James walked out of Dak's room fully dressed. He still didn't seem fazed by what had happened. It was almost like he didn't care that he might ruin Dak's relationship.
"Look Dak," James started.
"Not a word to anyone, got it. This never happened. I am with Jett now get over it," Dak snapped.
"Come on, I know you don't really like Jett, you're just settling," James argued.
"I am not settling," Dak snapped. He then started to push James towards the door.
"You so are, and the sooner you realize that and admit your true feelings I'll be waiting," James said.
"Ok maybe I had a crush on you, but we're no good for one another," Dak said shaking his head. They reached the door and Dak opened it. He shoved James out the door and into someone.
"Hey careful," James hollered at Dak. Dak looked up and saw just who he had pushed James into. Jett was standing before him with a shocked expression on his face.
"Jett," Dak said. He then realized he was shirtless and James' hair looked all messed up. It was his sex hair. "This isn't what it looks like," he said quickly.
"Ok then tell me what it is cause I think I am missing something here," Jett said. James opened his mouth to speak but Dak stomped on his foot.
"James was just leaving. He broke up with his boyfriend last night and I helped take care of him," Dak said.
"Oh he took care of me alright," James said. Dak elbowed him.
"Wow, I was just coming to see if you wanted to maybe go out for breakfast, but I can see you're busy," Jett said turning away from Dak.
"Jett wait," Dak ran down the hall after him.
"No, I thought we had something, but I can see I was wrong," Jett said shaking his head. Dak flinched at that. He bit his lip and shook his head.
"Jett please, let me explain," Dak said.
"I think this is explanation enough," Jett said shaking his head. He continued walking away. Dak stood there a moment tears threatening to fall.
"Well I think I'm gonna go," James said slowly.
"This is all your fault. Everything was fine until you had to go and ruin it. I thought Steph was bad, but you're worse," Dak said shaking his head. He stormed back into his apartment and slammed the door behind him.
Dak made his way to his bedroom. He changed and grabbed his cell phone and keys. With a quick look around to make sure he had everything, he left. He had to catch up to Jett and explain everything.
Dak didn't care about James right now. He had a knack for messing up Dak's life. All it took was a kiss and Dak would go running back to him. At first James had been a danger that was appealing. They had been sneaking around behind people's backs and it had fun. Dak had slowly become addicted to James. He hadn't realized just how deep he had gotten himself until James started dating Carlos. It was that shock that Dak needed to get out of that relationship. He had run to the only person he knew, but he was still stuck on James.
James was bad for him and Dak had to get away. Maybe being friends with him wasn't in the question. At least not for now. Dak needed to get over his feelings for the singer. He had to forget what they had done together. James was a toxin in Dak's life right now and not what he needed. Jett was what was better for him.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Kendall looked himself over quickly. He was at a press interview for Logan and James. People were no doubt going to ask about the babies. Kelly had talked Kendall into coming and supporting Logan. He was now technically a part of the band anyways. This interview had been set up for awhile for Logan and James to talk about their upcoming album.
Logan was pacing in front of him right now. He was nervous and kept looking at his watch. He wasn't nervous because of the interview, no he had done them before, he was nervous about going up there alone. James had yet to show up. Logan had been calling him all morning trying to get a hold of him, but James wouldn't answer his phone.
"Carlos said he was drunk last night, maybe he's hung over," Kendall said shrugging.
"Probably," Logan sighed.
"I may be hung over, but the show must go on," James said walking up to them with a cup of coffee in his hands.
"About damn time," Kelly said glaring at James.
"Sorry, I was busy with something," James said.
"Learn to answer your phone, I've been trying to get a hold of you since last night," Logan snapped angrily at the other brunette.
"I was-" James started.
"Busy accusing Carlos of cheating and being an ass?" Kendall asked.
"Look what happened between me and Carlos is between us, not you," James said calmly, "I got upset and jumped to conclusions but you can't blame me when Stephanie is a bitch who likes to take what I have," he said.
"What?" Kendall asked confused.
"We don't have time for this, James we've got a press conference to do, just go along with what I say about Kendall and the babies," Logan said cutting in.
"Babies?" James asked shocked.
"Yes, we're having twins now try not to look shocked when we're on stage," Logan said grabbed James' arm and pulling him away from Kelly and Kendall.
The two walked up to the stage and took their seats with Gustavo who was already answering some questions for the guys. Logan and James jumped in easily. They answered questions about their music.
Soon though the questions became personal. People wanted to know about Kendall and Logan. Logan told that Kendall was their new guitarist and yes they were dating. He spun a great lie about how they just bonded over music. Kendall was nodding along with the lie. It was perfect.
Then the dreaded question came along. Everyone wanted to know the truth. There were rumors surfacing. Last night Kendall had gotten several texts from Camille. She had told him people were making up rumors about him and Logan being pregnant. Some of them involved Logan being pregnant. Kendall laughed at those ones. Logan wasn't submissive at all. Sure, he had only slept with Logan once, but he could tell from Logan's attitude. He wasn't one to submit.
Logan answered the questions. He was honest, mostly. He told them that yes Kendall was pregnant and that he was five months along. He then spun a nice lie about why they had kept it secret. He had said they wanted to wait until they knew if they were having a boy or girl before he said anything. Someone then asked what they were having.
"Well, we're having a boy and a girl," Logan said honestly. There was a collective murmur though the crowd. People asked more questions about Kendall. Logan told them everything he and Kendall had agreed on. He told them that he and Kendall had just agreed to move in together and get ready for the baby. Lots of the reporters, however, wanted to know if they were getting married.
"Whoa, they're not getting married," James said jumping in, "at least not yet right buddy," he added with a grin looking over at Logan.
"Yeah, we're just taking things one day at a time. I don't know if we'll get married and if we do it'll be a ways down the road. Right now, we're just gonna deal with the kids," he said.
Kendall looked over at Kelly who was nodding her head. She was glad that this was all going so smoothly. Kendall on the other hand got a bad feeling in the back of his gut. He didn't know why, but he felt like something bad was about to happen. Kelly looked over at Kendall. She moved closer to him.
"Ok this conference is almost over, I want you to meet Logan at the end of the stage by the bottom of the stairs and for the love of god look like you're in love," Kelly said. Kendall held his tongue and nodded his head. He didn't want to get the manager pissed off anymore than she already was.
Kendall walked over to the edge of the stage as Logan and James stood up. They walked off stage with Gustavo. Logan was last. He looked over at Kendall with a smile. Kendall grinned and pulled the brunette into a kiss. There was a bunch of flashes.
"You did great," Kendall said. Logan nodded his head his eyes wide as he looked at the blonde. Kendall grabbed his hand and led them away from the reporter's prying eyes. "Was that in love enough for you?" Kendall asked as he walked past her with Logan.
"It was great," Kelly called after them. James ran up to them.
"So twins huh?" James asked Logan.
"Yep," Logan said.
"Wow you must have some magic sperm since he wasn't even supposed to have one," James teased.
"Shut up," Logan said shaking his head. They all walked out to the limo. They avoided most of the photographers and fans that had been trying to get into the conference. Some of them didn't seem happy that Logan was with Kendall.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Dak was sitting outside Jett's apartment building. He was waiting for the actor to return. He had to talk to him and at least explain what happened. Dak looked up as a car pulled into the parking lot. It was Jett.
Jett got out of his car and looked up at Dak. He walked past him.
"Jett," Dak said.
"I've got nothing to say to you," Jett said.
"Come on Jett at least let me explain," Dak said as he followed the actor inside the building.
"Explain what? That you cheated on me with one of your friends?" Jett asked.
"I was drunk," Dak said.
"Cheating is cheating," Jett said as he walked to the elevator.
"I wasn't in my right state of mind," Dak defended himself. He stepped into the elevator as well. "I had helped my sister move into her new apartment and my brother showed up," Dak said.
"So what you get drunk and fuck the first guy you see?" Jett asked looking over at Dak.
"No, James showed up at my place. He got into a fight with his boyfriend and I think they broke up or something. I don't really know last nights a bit hazy, but it meant nothing to me," Dak said.
"Oh please, I knew there was a reason you've been hesitant about our relationship," Jett said.
Dak stepped in front of Jett. They locked eyes.
"Look, I am sorry about what happened. I'll admit I was attracted to James at one point, but it meant nothing to me," Dak said. He took a step closer to Jett. "I don't care about him, I care about you," he said.
"I don't know if I can believe you," Jett shook his head. Dak took a step closer to Jett and pressed his lips to Jett's. That seemed to snap something in Jett. He pushed Dak back against the wall behind him. Dak gasped as Jett's lips found his neck.
The elevator doors dinged open and the two left the elevator together. They stumbled down the hallway to Jett's apartment.
-Better than I know Myself-
Carlos was standing behind the counter taking people's coffee orders. He usually didn't mind his job. It paid the bills and was only temporary until his acting career took off. Today was different however. He had just broken up with James and he wanted to mope around a bit.
"Why the long face?" Camille asked walking over to Carlos.
"James and I broke up," Carlos sighed.
"What?"
"Yeah, remember how I've been hanging out with Stephanie?" Carlos asked. Camille nodded her head. Carlos explained how Stephanie got drunk and how he tired to sober her up. He then told her that he pocket dialed James and he jumped to conclusions.
"Oh you poor thing," Camille said putting a hand over her mouth.
"Gee thanks for the pity, I'm fine," Carlos said waving his hand. "I mean he's a celebrity and I'm just a nobody. This was bound to happen sooner or later."
The door opened and Carlos and Camille both looked over. James walked into the café. He looked over at the counter. He started towards them.
"I can take this," Camille offered.
"No, go I've got this," Carlos said shaking his head. Camille walked away but didn't go too far. James approached the counter.
"Can we talk?" James asked.
"I'm working," Carlos stated simply.
"Look Carlos, I'm not asking you to forgive me, but I'm sorry about last night. If I were you I wouldn't forgive me. It's just Stephanie likes to take what I have. She's a real bitch like that sometimes. I understand she has the power to get you out of the movie and I am sure that's what happened with her first lead," James said.
"What are you talking about?" Carlos asked confused.
"Stephanie likes to sleep with the male lead of the movie she's working on. It's just a part of who she is. She also likes to take whoever I'm dating away," James said looking down at the counter.
"I didn't know that," Carlos said.
"I suppose it's for the best really. You don't want to go getting mixed up with someone like me," James sighed.
"What?" Carlos asked confused.
"I'm no good for you Carlos. You're kind and sweet and I'm not," James said.
"James," Carlos started.
"No, it's for the best really," James said.
"What did you do?" Carlos asked looking at James. He could tell James felt guilty about something. That was why he was trying to call things off for good.
"I was hurt when I heard Stephanie coming on to you. It didn't sound like you were trying hard to fight her off and I got mad," James admitted.
"Yeah," Carlos said prompting him to continue.
"I was hurt," James said again. Carlos just held his tongue and nodded his head letting James know that he was listening. "I wanted to hurt you like you hurt me," he muttered. Carlos stood there a moment before he realized what James was talking about.
"You slept with someone else?" Carlos asked. James nodded his head. "So your rep catches up with you," Carlos said slowly.
"What?" James asked shocked.
"Come on I knew what I was getting myself into. I was a fan of your music before we started dating and Logan and Dak warned me to be careful," Carlos chuckled shaking his head.
"So you see why we're no good for one another right?" James asked.
"I see a pop star trying to find himself. I see a man in need of love and he's pushing it away," Carlos said.
"Don't you will only get hurt," James warned.
"I know what I am getting myself into," Carlos replied.
"No you don't," James shook his head.
"I expect you to pick me up for our date this Friday," Carlos said. James looked at Carlos shocked. "Everyone makes mistakes James. I understand that you're human, I mean it'll be awhile before I can fully trust you again, but I want to work this out," he said.
"You really don't," James argued.
"You don't know what I want," Carlos stated. James sighed and shook his head.
"Friday?" James asked.
"Eight o'clock," Carlos said.
James nodded his head. He started for the door. He seemed a bit happier. Carlos knew it would be awhile before he could fully trust James, but he loved him. Carlos didn't want to lose him. They could work past this.
Carlos stood there watching him as he left. He didn't seen Camille approach him. He turned and nearly ran into her. He jumped back with a hand over his racing heart.
"Christ Camille, be any quieter," he asked.
"You forgave him when he cheated?" Camille asked.
"In all fairness I did too," Carlos said looking down at the ground.
"What?"
"I didn't stop Steph's advances and I let her kiss me. I mean when I realized what was going on I stopped her, but at first…" he trailed off.
"Oh my god," Camille said.
"I kind of led her on a bit," he admitted looking down at the floor.
"Wow Carlos," Camille said shocked.
"It won't happen again and don't tell James. I really like him," Carlos said quickly.
"Fine, but if he does it once he can do it again," Camille said. She then turned and walked away effectively ending the conversation.
Carlos stood there. He hadn't been fully honest with James, but then again James wasn't fully honest with him. He knew who ever James slept with it had to be someone he knew. He had seen how guilty James had looked. It was the same guilty look Carlos had had when Kendall's ex-boyfriend had slept with him. Telling Kendall that had been hard. Carlos could only wonder who James had slept with.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Logan led Kendall into his new home for the remainder of his pregnancy. He was going have Kendall's things moved tomorrow (it was the soonest Kelly could get a moving truck), but right now Logan was going to show him around and they would set up their sleeping arrangements and things like that.
Logan led Kendall into the kitchen and froze in his tracks when he saw two men sitting at the counter talking to Sebastian. Logan gaped at the two. He had not expected them to even be here.
"Dad, Pa," Logan said looking at the two shocked. Kendall's eyes went wide as he looked at Logan's parents.
"Sir, your fathers are here," Sebastian said stating the obvious. Logan just nodded his head.
"Kendall these two are my dad and pa, David and Jonathan Mitchell," Logan said slowly his eyes never leaving the men at the counter.
"Hi, it's um nice to meet you," Kendall said nervously. "I'm Kendall Knight by the way," he said.
"Hello Logan, so nice of you to tell us you were having a kid," David Mitchell said looking at his son.
"Yes, and congrats on the engagement," Jonathan Mitchell added.
"I thought you told them," Kendall said looking at Logan shocked.
"Ok here's the thing," Logan said turning to the blonde, "it's a really really long story and I don't want to bore you with the details, but I might've not told them the truth," he said.
"You lied?" Kendall asked.
"I didn't lie, I just didn't tell them," Logan said.
"Who did you call when we found out we were having twins," Kendall asked.
"My mom," Logan said.
"Twins?" David asked.
"Whoa, whoa what?" Kendall asked confused.
"You've got some explaining to do," Jonathan said.
