Chapter 16: Misery
Dak fell onto the couch in his apartment. He was fighting back the tears that had threatened to fall since Jett had asked him to leave his apartment. Dak had thought that he had gotten the other actor's forgiveness. They had had sex and then Jett said he needed time to think things over. He was still hurt that Dak had cheated on him even if it meant nothing to Dak. He had tried his hardest to get Jett to forgive him, but nothing worked. Jett was hurt and that's all there was to it.
His phone rang and Dak jumped up and ran over to it. He picked it up hoping it was Jett. It was Dani calling to ask about one of Amy's movies. Dak found it sitting near his TV and offered to bring it over.
"Are you ok?" Dani asked before Dak could say good bye.
"Yeah, I'm Fine," Dak said nodding his head even though she couldn't see him. He didn't want her to know about his problems with Jett and James. This was something he had to sort through on his own.
"Ok then, I'll be waiting," Dani said. Dak said good bye and hung up his phone. He grabbed his car keys and left his apartment. This was just an excuse to do something and get his mind off of James and Jett.
He arrived at Dani's apartment fifteen minutes later. He knocked on the door and waited for it to open. Dani appeared with Amy on her hip.
"Oh thank god, she was just asking to watch it," Dani said stepping aside. Dak walked into the apartment and looked around. It looked a bit more homey now that some of her things were unpacked.
"How is the place?" Dak asked as he handed her to movie and took Amy from her.
"Good, Amy love it," Dani said.
"Da," Amy said pulling on Dak's shirt collar. Dak smiled at his niece.
"How are you though, you didn't sound too good on the phone when I called," Dani said.
"I'm fine, just sorting through some things," Dak said waving his hand. He walked over to the couch and sat down with Amy in his lap as Dani started her movie. Dani walked over to Dak and sat down next to him.
"What things?" Dani asked. Dak sighed and set Amy down. She didn't seem to mind as her eyes were glued to her movie. Dak stood up and walked to the kitchen table. Dani followed him. Amy was still in their sights. "Dak," Dani said.
"I messed up," Dak said.
"What did you do," Dani asked worriedly.
"I cheated on Jett," Dak said slowly.
"Oh," Dani said.
"With James," he added looking down at the table.
"James? As in your best friend?" Dani asked.
"Former best friend, I kind of told him he was worse than Stephanie and I think he might hate me now, not that I want to talk to him right now anyways," Dak said hanging his head.
"Wait, was James the guys you were having troubles with when I first arrived in L.A. a few months ago?" Dani asked quickly. Dak sighed and nodded his head.
"Don't tell anyone he's got a boyfriend and I've got an image to keep up," Dak said.
"Dak," Dani said.
"Dani please, James would kill me if people found out," Dak said tears threatening to fall down his cheeks. Dani sighed this time and nodded her head.
"I won't tell anyone," Dani promised.
"Thanks Dani," Dak said smiling slightly at his sister.
"So my question now is who do you care about?" Dani asked.
"Well up until recently I thought it was James and then when I saw how hurt Jett was it hurt that I made him feel that way. I don't know anymore, is it possible to be in love with two different guys?" Dak asked letting his head fall onto the table.
"Yeah, I mean for different reasons yeah," Dani said.
"With Jett I feel comfortable with him and I like it, but it's comfortable and that gets boring and then with James there's just this raw passion and heat and it's amazing," Dak said sitting up.
"Looks like you're got some thinking to do," Dani said.
"I know, but the thing is neither of them want me, like I said James has a boyfriend and only comes to me when he's drunk and Jett is upset that I cheated," Dak explained.
"You're really in a pickle," Dani said.
"I'm in misery," Dak corrected her.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Kendall woke up alone in bed. He sat up and stretched. He yawned and looked around the unfamiliar room. He sighed as he recognized Logan's room. They had a part to play and because his parents were here he had to pretend to be in love with Logan. Kendall got out of bed and stretched once more. Logan's bed wasn't too comfortable.
Kendall walked over to his bag and started to look for something to wear when the bathroom door opened and Logan entered the room. Kendall's jaw dropped and his morning wood grew to a full fledged erection. Kendall quickly covered it with the clothes in his hands. Logan was standing there with nothing but a towel. His skin was still wet with water as was his hair. His skin was perfectly creamy looking and Kendall suddenly had the urge to kiss him.
"I-I was just getting clothes to change into," Kendall explained his cheeks heating up as he looked the brunette over. He couldn't help but stare at him. He knew it was the upped hormones from the pregnancy. He had been warned that his sexual appetite might be affected after the mood swings died down a bit.
"Well the bathroom is all yours, and once you're ready we'll be having breakfast out back with my parents," Logan said pointing to the door as he crossed the room.
"I'll be down in a bit," Kendall said his eyes following Logan as he walked. Logan walked into the closet and Kendall ran into the bathroom. He shut the door behind him and leaned against it his breathing hard. He tried to calm himself down, but his body didn't want to listen.
Kendall decided to take a shower and get rid of his little problem on his own. Logan didn't like him that way. They had only had one real kiss since they had started dating. That was after their first date at the diner. Kendall didn't count the kiss after the interview because that was just to shut Kelly up. They had only slept together once too and Kendall wasn't as skinny as he had been then. He was starting to show with his stomach. He was carrying twins after all so he was going to get big.
Kendall sighed as he stepped into the shower. He quickly took care of his business and used Logan's shampoo and body wash. He hoped Logan wouldn't mind since he didn't have any of his stuff yet. They would be doing that later today. Kendall would have to got to his and Carlos' apartment and get his things.
Once he was done with the shower he dried off and got dressed. He walked over to the mirror and wiped it off. He looked at his reflection and sighed. Today was just going to be a long day. He took a few deep breaths and left the bathroom and saw that the room was empty. He figured Logan was already down stairs with his parents. Kendall left the room and made his way down stairs. He ran into Sebastian who was bringing a tray of food outside.
"Ah, Logan was looking for you, he's outside already with Joanna," Sebastian said. Kendall nodded his head. He followed the old butler out to the backyard. There was a big pool ad a deck. Logan was sitting on the deck with Joanna. "Your fathers will be out in a bit," he said to Logan who just nodded his head. Sebastian set the food down and left. Kendall sat down next to Logan.
"So Kendall, what do you do," Joanna asked curiously.
"I'm Big Time Rush's new guitarist," Kendall said.
"How will that work on the babies are born?" Joanna asked looking between the two.
"We haven't figured that out yet, but Kendall will be helping us record our songs once Gustavo's read to record and we're looking for someone for the tour since a your is no place for a baby," Logan said looking at Kendall who just nodded his head.
"Yeah I was named guitarist before all of this happened," Kendall said looking down at his stomach.
"We might just even put the tour on hold for a bit," Logan said his eyes on Kendall's stomach as well. Kendall looked up at the brunette shocked.
"Really? I don't think Kelly would like that too much," Kendall said. From what Kendall knew of the manager she was all about money and image. She wanted to keep Logan's image clean and postponing the tour wasn't something he could see her agreeing to.
"She'll agree, I mean I can't just leave you home with two kids to take care of on your own," Logan said.
"I've got Carlos, Camille, and Damien all willing to help out," Kendall said.
"Still what kind of father would I be if I just left," Logan said. Kendall smiled and nodded his head. Logan could be so sweet sometimes. Kendall just wished that it was genuine. He knew that this was all just an act to fool everybody.
David and Jonathan joined them a while later. They both said good morning to everyone. Kendall sat back and watched the Mitchells with Joanna. Kendall felt so out of place with them. He only really spoke when spoken too. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to them, it was just that they had their own dynamic. Kendall just felt a bit left out.
-Better than I Know Myself-
James sighed as he paced back and forth in his apartment. He was thinking about Carlos and Dak. James hadn't told Carlos that he had slept with Dak. For all Carlos knew was that it was random stranger that James had picked up. He didn't want Carlos to know the truth. Carlos would break up with him for sure.
James sighed as he fell down onto his couch. Everything was just so confusing. Carlos had forgiven him so easily and he didn't understand why he kept going back to Dak. James didn't understand why the Latino had forgiven him though. James would never forgive someone for cheating on him like that, or at least not right away. What he and Dak had had was a sexual relationship. He didn't like Dak that way. Well, he didn't want to feel that way.
James wanted to be with Carlos. Carlos was kind, funny, caring and everything that he wanted. He was perfect. They got along great and things with the Latino were easy. He felt like he needed to be with the Latino. The same could be said about Dak. Dak was great and they knew each other so well. If Carlos wasn't in the picture James would consider dating him, but the fact was Carlos was here and Dak was dating Jett, or was. To James it seemed like the universes way of saying they weren't supposed to be together.
James' cell phone beeped and he groaned. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it. He had a text from Logan asking him to help him get some of Kendall's things move to his place. James sighed and replied saying he would. He needed to get out of his apartment and not think about Dak right now. He didn't want to think about Carlos either, but he'd probably be there helping since he was Kendall's best friend.
James left his apartment and headed over to Kendall and Carlos' apartment. He arrived there fifteen minutes later and saw a moving truck outside. He headed inside and up to the guys' apartment and saw Kendall sitting on the couch with Camille.
"What's going on?" James asked.
"Logan won't let me help move boxes," Kendall said glaring in the direction of his bedroom where Logan probably was.
"You've got precious cargo to think of Kendall," Camille laughed. "Logan's in Kendall's room and he's been waiting on you," she said as some movers carried Kendall's dresser out the door. James nodded his head and headed to Kendall's room. He saw Carlos and Logan closing boxes and labeling them. Most of the boxes seemed to be packed already.
"Whoa when did he have time to pack?" James asked
"I did it for him last night," Carlos said looking up at James a small smile on his face. It didn't reach his eyes like it normally did. James expected that.
"Grab a marker and start labeling them," Logan said pointing to the markers on the desk. James saluted Logan and did as he was told. Carlos giggled at that and James felt like things were normal again for a bit. Logan started carrying boxes out leaving James and Carlos alone.
"Wow, I never thought it'd be awkward to have my boyfriend alone with me in a room," Carlos said breaking the tense silence that had risen between them.
"Yeah, well…" James trailed off looking over at the Latino. "I don't know what to say honestly," he admitted.
"Me either," Carlos said, "I mean I think I love you James and I really want this to work, but," he looked down at the box he was supposed to be taping closed.
"But what?" James asked.
"I don't know if I can trust you right now," Carlos said.
"I agree with you, I don't know if I trust me either," James admitted. It was the truth, he was very unreliable, especially when he was drunk. After a few drinks James became a different person.
"Where do we go from here?" Carlos asked breaking the brunette from his thoughts.
"I don't know," James sighed.
"How about this Friday we start over and see where things go. I would like to give this one more try if that's ok," Carlos said.
"Yeah, maybe we take the rest of this week and spend sometime alone and then Friday we can talk and see what we want to do," James said. Carlos looked hurt but nodded his head. They both started working again as Logan walked into the room to grab more boxes. This time Camille's boyfriend was with him helping carry the boxes out to the truck. James just taped boxes shut and labeled them.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Logan was helping James and Joanna move boxes from the truck into his house. He had called Dak for help, but he was busy with something. David and Jonathan were out for the day but they'd be back later and Joanna was helping Logan get things in place with the movers. The good thing about Joanna was Logan had told her the truth about everything and was willing to help them keep their secret.
Once everything was inside Kendall joined them in the guest room next to Logan's room telling them what to do with his boxes. Once they had set up his room for the next few months they moved some things into Logan's bedroom until David and Jonathan left.
"We're quick workers," Kendall said as he sat down on his bed. He looked at Logan who was leaning against the wall.
"Sure you can say that, you hardly did anything," Logan said.
"You wouldn't let me do anything," Kendall shot back. Logan laughed and shook his head.
"Ok boys," Joanna said walking into the room. "I think David and Jonathan are due back at any time now," she said. Kendall and Logan nodded their heads. They both walked down to the living room where James had collapsed on the couch.
"Tired Diamond?" Logan asked poking his friend in the side. James grunted and swatted at Logan's hand only to miss.
"Come on get up other people want to use the couch lazy ass," Logan said. James grunted again but sat up. Logan sat down and James shoved him lightly. Kendall sat down glad to be off his feet even if he hadn't been on them very long.
Joanna sat down on the armchair next to them. They were all a bit tired from moving Kendall's things.
"So what's going on with you and Carlos," Logan asked James.
"I don't know," James sighed.
"What do you mean?" Logan asked. He saw Kendall look over at James as well. He was interested in the answer that James gave.
"It's complicated," James said shaking his head.
"What did you do?" Logan asked glaring at his best friend.
"How do you know it was me? What if he did something," James said quickly.
"Because I know you better than you know yourself Diamond, and you have this uncanny knack for messing things up," Logan stated simply.
"Ok so he pocket dialed me when he was with Stephanie and she was coming onto him and it didn't seem like he was resisting and I got mad. I mean you know how Steph is she dates actors in her movies, but she's really got a thing for guys I like," James said looking at Logan. Logan just nodded his head and waited for James to continue. "Well, I wanted to hurt him for hurting me," he sighed.
"You cheated on him?" Logan asked quickly and Kendall's look of confusion turned to anger.
"Yeah, and I feel really bad about it and I told him maybe it was best that we break up," James sighed.
"He didn't let you did he?" Kendall asked knowingly.
"No," James said shaking his head.
"He must've done something," Kendall said lowly.
"What?" James asked confused.
"Uh," Kendall said his cheeks going red. "I've known Carlos since we were in diapers. I know all his habits. When he forgives you easily it means he did something and he feels guilty about it, like I broke his skateboard in high school. It was his prized possession, and when I told him he forgave me and a few days later he told me he slept with my boyfriend at the time," he said.
"And you're still friends with him?" James asked.
"Well yeah, cause I had been thinking that Dustin was cheating on me and he admitted to seducing Carlos because he thought it would be fun, I called him wiener which he hated because that's not how his last name was pronounced and out him to the whole school as a cheater," Kendall said.
"Wiener?" Logan asked confused.
"It's his last name, well that's what it looked like, but it's pronounced like whiner. In elementary school his nickname was whiny wiener," Kendall said laughing.
"Ok that's hilarious," Logan said.
"Logan's got a ex named Dustin too," James said, "it's who he was dating before you," he added.
"Ah yes, he was asshole just desperate to be famous," Logan said shaking his head. He just stretched and fell back onto the couch not wanting to talk about Dustin anymore. As he laid back his shirt rode up over his stomach. He looked over at Kendall who had fallen silent. Logan pulled his shirt down and he saw the blonde's cheeks dust light red and lick his lips.
"So, how did you two really meet?' Joanna asked suddenly. Logan had told her that they were faking a relationship and that they hadn't really first met at auditions for a new guitarist. They hadn't told her how they met.
"At a club," Logan said.
"A club? Really, I thought I taught you better than that," Joanna scolded her son.
"It was one of Stephanie's parties," Logan said.
"I was a waiter and he was getting wasted cause as I now know he was trying to get over his ex," Kendall said laughing as Logan turned red.
"Logan," Joanna said.
"I'm twenty two, almost twenty three it's legal, there's nothing you can do," Logan said pointing a finger at Joanna. Joanna just shook her head a disapproving look on her face. "If it helps I was against the lie, but Kelly's very persuasive and it doesn't help that Kendall's too kind for his own good," he added.
"What?" Joanna asked.
"He could've just gone to the press saying he hooked up with me and was having my baby," Logan said looking over at the blonde.
"I wouldn't do that, it would kill your career," Kendall said shaking his head.
"See," Logan said pointing to the blonde. "He's more worried about a complete stranger rather than himself," he added. Kendall blushed and looked away from Logan.
Eventually James talked Logan and Kendall into some video games and the three started a heated battle while Joanna watched laughing at their competitiveness. Words were flung back and forth between the three until Kendall won. He threw his fist up in victory and gloated.
"It was luck," Logan said glaring slightly at the blonde.
"Nah, I just better than you," Kendall teased.
"In your dreams," Logan said.
"You're just bitter because-" Kendall trailed off looking down at his stomach. He placed his hand on his baby bump.
"Something wrong," Logan asked worriedly as he moved over to Kendall's side. Kendall grabbed Logan's hand and moved it to his stomach with a smile on his face. Logan looked confused for a moment before he felt it. A smile spread across his face.
"One of the babies are kicking," Kendall said slowly as James gave him a confused look. Joanna moved over and asked if she could feel since it was her grandbaby. Kendall smiled and nodded his head. Joanna placed her hand on his stomach where Logan's hand had been and smiled as she felt the nudge.
"Wow, it's one thing after another, it makes it all the more real," Logan said looking at Kendall who nodded his head.
"Oh my god I'm going to be a grandma," Joanna said slowly. She then turned to Logan. "Do I look like a grandma?" she asked.
"If I say yes are you gonna hit me?" Logan said ducking as Joanna tried to smack him upside the head, only for James to get him.
"Thank you James," Joanna said smiling at him.
"Your welcome," James said smiling as well. Logan just rubbed the back of his head as Kendall laughed.
The front door opened and voices were heard and soon David and Jonathan walked into the room. They both had bags in their hands.
"Oh god tell me you didn't," Logan said smiling at his dads. They may be cold hearted and hard to impress, but they had their moments when they were dads.
"We couldn't help it," David said opening a bag and pulled a pink dress out.
"Oh my god that's so cute," Logan said his eyes going wide.
"He picked that out and I got this," Jonathan said pulling out a little shirt with trucks and small pair of jeans.
"Now that's cute," Kendall said standing up walking over to Jonathan and looked the outfit over while Logan looked at the dress.
"I take it Logan wanted a girl and you wanted a boy," Joanna said looking at the two.
"I want both my babies, but when I thought it was one I thought it was a boy yes," Kendall said nodding his head.
"I thought it was a girl, and turns out we were both right," Logan said smiling.
"We also got you guys a book," Jonathan said digging into one of his bags.
"Pa, we don't need a parenting book, everything is online now and besides Kelly is trying to get us into a parenting class," Logan said.
"No I know everything is online this is something different," Jonathan said pulling the book out. It was 1001 Baby Names. Logan smiled and looked at the book. He took it and showed Kendall.
"You boys better get to thinking about names, these next few months will fly by and the babies will be here before you know it," David said.
"What I did was I took a baby book and randomly selected ten names by opening the book and placing a finger on one of the pages," Joanna said.
"That's how you came up with Logan?" David asked looking at Joanna.
"Well yeah, I got the ten names and then made a list of the ones I liked," Joanna said.
"Wow, now I really feel special," Logan said looking at Kendall who giggled.
"Let's see," Kendall said opening the book and flipping to a random page and just placing his finger on the page. He looked down and started laughing. Logan looked over and saw why he was laughing.
"What name did you pick?" James asked.
"He landed on Logan," Logan said. James moved and looked at the page and saw Kendall was indeed pointing at Logan.
"So what, you're gonna name the boy Logan Jr.?" James asked teasingly.
"No," Logan said quickly.
"Why not, I think it might be cute," Kendall teased. Logan turned to Kendall and gave him an, 'are you serious?' look. Kendall just laughed.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Carlos sighed as he paced back and forth in his apartment. It was odd not having Kendall's things here. The apartment felt like it was lacking something. He knew the blonde would be back eventually, maybe. Would this apartment really be a good place for Kendall to take care of twins? There was only two bedrooms. Maybe Kendall wouldn't come back, and if he didn't he maybe want to get a bigger place eventually.
Carlos sighed and fell onto the couch. He and Kendall would still be best friends though. They had known one another since they were in diapers. Kendall wouldn't stop being his friend because he had two babies, but then again Kendall was moving onto the next part of his life and they were only twenty one. Carlos knew Kendall's life would become hectic soon and maybe their friendship would become a bit strained. Kendall would be busy with his kids and wouldn't be able to do the things they used to do. Carlos wasn't sure what to think right now. He just knew that things were changing, not only with Kendall but with James as well.
Carlos didn't know what was going on with him and James. He hadn't told James the truth about Steph yet, but James was keeping something from him too. He knew whoever James had slept with had to be someone that James knew at least. He had just seemed so guilty about it. Carlos sighed and shook his head, no he wouldn't worry about James right now. He'd give him the rest of the week and see where things went on Friday.
Carlos' cell phone rang startling the Latino. He jumped up and fished his phone out of his pocket and answered it.
"What did you do?"
"Uh, hello to you too Kendall, what are you talking about," Carlos said slowly. He was used to Kendall just jumping in like that, but this time he didn't know what the blonde was on about.
"I was talking with James and Logan earlier and James said you forgave him," Kendall said.
"Yeah, I really like him Kendall and I want what we have to last," Carlos said slowly. He knew Kendall wouldn't buy that answer though.
"Carlos we've always been honest with one another, don't you dare expect me to take that answer," Kendall said.
"Kendall please this is between me and James," Carlos said slowly. He didn't want to talk to Kendall about this right now. He hadn't even thought of what he wanted to do yet.
"Carlos Garcia, don't make me friend card you," Kendall said.
"Fine, but please don't tell James," Carlos said desperately. He didn't want James to get mad at him. He saw how James had reacted when he thought something happened with Stephanie. He didn't want that to happen again.
"Ok I promise," Kendall said. I knew Steph was coming on to me and I didn't discourage her, I might've even encouraged it a first, but after she kissed me I stopped her," Carlos sighed.
"Wow," Kendall said, "yet James cheated and you forgave him," he asked confused.
"It's a little more complicated than that," Carlos sighed.
"Well I'm all ears man," Kendall said.
"Stephanie has a thing for stealing people from James and I don't want him to think I like Stephanie, because I don't like her that way, I mean she's hot and all but I really care about James," Carlos said quickly.
"Ok, ok I won't say anything, but keep secrets isn't good for a relationship," Kendall said.
"Says the guy who's relationship is a whole lie," Carlos countered.
"I know I'm not the best example, but I don't have a choice. I mean if I ruin his image it will ruin the bands image and no more Big Time Rush," Kendall said.
"I know, I know," Carlos said waving his hand.
"Look dude, I'm gonna be honest keeping this going because you don't want to let go isn't good for either of you, it'll only make you miserable," Kendall said.
"I know, we're gonna talk on Friday and see where things go from there," Carlos said.
"Ok, but just don't do anything stupid," Kendall said.
"Can't make any promises," Carlos sighed. He heard a chuckle before the line went dead. Carlos sighed and hung up his phone as well.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Logan was walking down the hallway from his music room to the living room where Kendall was probably sitting with his mother talking to her. Kendall seemed to get along better with her than his dad, and that was to be expected. His dads were hard people to win over. Logan shook his head and tried not to think about them right now. He loved his dads, but they were hard to please.
Logan let his thoughts wander to the blonde. Kendall had been acting a bit strange all day. He his cheeks were always red. He had been acting a bit funny. He'd squirm and he could hardly look Logan in the eyes. Logan couldn't' figure out what was wrong with the blonde.
"Logan."
Logan stopped walking and turned around to look at David. David made a gesture for him to follow him. Logan sighed and followed him out onto the back patio. Logan wasn't surprised to see Jonathan sitting on at the table out there.
"What's up?" Logan asked.
"We wanted to talk to you," David said.
"Obviously," Logan said.
"Don't be a smartass," Jonathan said.
"Wow took a whole day for you to call me a smartass, that has to be a new record," Logan said rolling his eyes.
"Logan stop it," David said. Logan closed his mouth and looked at his dads.
"We know you don't want to get married yet, but we've got something for you," David said slowly.
"Dad, no I am not going to ask Kendall to marry me just because we're having kids," Logan said shaking his head.
"We know that," Jonathan said jumping up quickly. "We just want to give you something incase you do decide someday that you want to get married," he said.
"What?" Logan asked confused. David reached into his pocket and pulled out a small ring box. He held it out to Logan. Logan took it and opened it. Inside was a gold ring with a green stone on it. "Where have I seen this before?" Logan asked.
"It was your grandmothers," Jonathan said. Logan let out a small chuckle.
"I remember, she would always tell me one day I'd give it to the person I loved, I never understood what she meant though," Logan said shaking his head. He had only been a young boy when she died.
"Yeah, we know and we held onto this for you," Jonathan said smiling at him.
"We thought you would like it," David said.
"I do, Thank you," Logan said smiling at the ring. It was moments like these that made him love his dads. Underneath it all they did care about him, they just had a weird way of showing it sometimes.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Dak was pacing and back and forth in his apartment. He had his cell phone in his hand and pressed to his ear as he listened to the ringing. He was biting at his nail nervously. He didn't expect Jett to answer.
As expected he got Jett's voice mail. Dak sighed and hung his head as the beep came.
"I didn't really expect you to answer, but I want you to know how sorry I am, Jett. I'll admit at first I was hesitant about us, but then I realized there's no one better for you than me. I was stupid and I'm sorry. I know there is no excuse for what I did, but I don't think you should write me off just fast. I think if we work at this we can have something good. I don't know maybe I'm just dreaming. Just call me please," Dak said. He hung up and tossed his phone down on his coffee table and fell onto his couch. He grabbed the pillow and hugged it as he started at his phone.
He wanted Jett to call him back, but he knew it wasn't likely. It was as about likely as Derek telling him that he supported his acting career. It was never gonna happen. Jett was stubborn like Derek.
Besides Dak had hurt Jett bad. He had done the one thing that hurt Jett more than anything. Dak knew where Jett was and how bad cheating hurt him. Jett had had people use him for his growing fame and his money. Dak had never done that to Jett though, he had liked Jett for Jett despite the cocky bravado he played off. He knew under Jett's cocky exterior was someone just like him, scared and lonely. That was what made them perfect for one another.
Dak sighed and looked at his phone. He knew that the phone call was never gonna come. He pushed himself up from the couch. He headed to his bedroom not going near his refrigerator. He didn't want to drink right now. That was what had gotten him into this mess in the first place.
Dak walked into his bedroom and over to his bed. He fell onto it with a grunt and just laid there unmoving. He heard his cell phone start to ring. He jumped back up and ran out to the living room as it stopped. Dak sat there and waiting until his alert for a voicemail beeped. Dak grabbed his phone and saw the missed call was from James and not Jett. Dak debated on checking the voicemail.
His curiosity got the better of him. He dialed into his voicemail. He pressed his phone to his ear as he listened to James.
"I know you probably don't want to talk to me, but I just wanted to apologize. Last night I was upset and being stupid. I am sorry Dak, I really didn't mean to ruin your relationship, but you were there too. I'm not the only one to blame for this. I think we need to talk, so call me back when you get the chance. I don't want to lose our friendship over this,"
James' voice said.
Dak hit the end button and set his phone down. He wasn't sure if he was ready to forgive James just yet. He could've handled the situation better and explained to Jett that he had come on to a drunk Dak. Then again, James was right and Dak was at blame here too. Dak sighed and shook his head. He didn't want to talk to James right now. He needed to sort some things out. He hung his head as he realized this was probably how Jett felt about him.
Dak looked at his phone before grabbing it and turning it off. He walked into his kitchen and grabbed the phone and turned off the ringer. He set id down on the counter and made his way to his bedroom. He fell onto his bed once more and he didn't plan on getting our of bed for the rest of the weekend. He was only going to get out of bed on Tuesday because he had an audition that was really important and he didn't want to miss it. Sunday and Monday he wasn't leaving his bed.
Sorry this took so long but I've been having troubles with my beta, but I decided to go this alone and I hope there are no mistakes. I've read this through a few times, but even I miss things. I hope you like it.
Always
