Finally updated! Hope you enjoy, especially that this chapter is a long one to make up for the lack of updates.
Logan found himself in what seems to be a hallway that looks old and abandoned and there're some blood stains decorating the old walls and floors. The lights were quite dim as well. Logan felt uneasy and walks aimlessly through the dark halls, lights flickering. When he reaches the end where the halls split, one going left and one going right, he heard a girl scream from behind.
"HE'S COMING!" the girl shouted, Logan slightly recognizes the voice. She sounded terrified...
"Alex?" Logan looks back when he heard their voices echo down the hallway.
"Shit! Quick, I found a place to hide! You two, hurry!" it sounded like Kendrick, their breathings were really panicky.
Then, Logan looks at the end of a hall, at the other side, there was a big and burly man, his head bald, his eyes are discolored and almost completely white, most of the flesh in his face were ripped off, only wearing a pair of brown pants, brown combat boots, and chains wrapped around his wrists and ankles, all gorily splattered in blood. The man looks at Logan's direction, he began his pursuit at Logan, the sound of chains rattling.
Logan freaked out and went to the left hallway, running as fast as he can, away from the man. He wished he had his weapons, but he wasn't sure if they can bring down a guy like him who's chasing after him.
Apparently, it was a dead end and Logan looks back to see the man running down the hall towards him as Logan goes to the door on the right and slams it shut and locked it. He then looked for a way out in the dark room he is in, there weren't any windows.
"FUCK!" Logan panicked and decided to look for a place to hide, there was a closet and he proceeds to go inside as the door began to bang, the man is breaking through the door.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck." Logan cursed whispery as he hears the door finally gave way, the mans breathing sounded like an animal, a beast.
"Who's there?! Come out!" the voice also sounded monstrous. Logan was shaking.
"Little ghost... You don't have to hide from me. I just want to help you." the sounds of chains filled Logan with dread, this feels worse than getting stuck in a pit and he's completely defenseless against this guy.
(Oh fuck me...) Logan covered his mouth with both hands, his tears threatening to slip from his eyes.
"All right... I'll find you." the man snarled like an animal. Logan stayed inside for God knows how long...
It felt like hours and the sounds of the chain and the breathing of the monstrous man is gone. But Logan wasn't sure if it's safe to come out yet.
(Shit. Where the fuck am I?) Logan wondered, where is he in? Unfortunately, his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden opening of the closet and Logan is face to face with the monstrous man, his completely white eyes staring down on Logan's terrified eyes.
"You!"
"OH SHIT!" his gigantic hand grabbed Logan and threw him across the room, hitting his head first.
Logan shook his head and sees him heading over to Logan. Logan is cornered, he's got nowhere else to run.
"Just lay there. I'm coming. You won't have to kill yourself."
"Please no! No! NO!"
Logan wakes up terrified, his breathing fast and heavy.
"Holy shit!" Logan calms himself down as he takes a moment to try to learn of what he just went through.
Usually, he's had nightmares about the pit, but for this nightmare, it's completely different, in fact, he doesn't remember having to get lost in a creepy hallway while being chased by a scary big guy. It even feels weird when Kendrick, Alex, and an unknown person were in his dream.
That's just...weird...
"I hope this isn't me going insane... I've had it with all this shit..." Logan got himself up and stretched himself as he looks outside to see the morning light raining over the Sin City.
However, Alex and Kendrick are still asleep and the light isn't getting them awake. Logan checks through his watch, which he kept adjusting last night thanks to the fact he's going places, and notices it's only 6:30 in the morning.
Huh... They're still asleep, since it's early, I'll let them take more time to snooze...
How he thought of letting them continue resting reminded Logan of something that made him feel upset...
Sorry I didn't wake you. Thought you could use the sleep. Hesh's voice echoed in Logan's head.
I wonder how he is now... I hope he's okay... Logan sighs as he gets up fixes himself.
Logan notices Kendrick's bag and had a thought
Hmm... I wonder what's in there, other than weapons and ammo of course... Should I? His curiosity took over and tempted him to check, which apparently, he gave in.
When he opened, other than the other weapons and ammo, he saw inside some of the familiar items he saw in the drawer back in the ruined house. There was the badge, the phone that's different, and the hookshot.
Where did he get those stuffs...? As Logan scans inside, he hears as if someone was startled awake, in fact, someone did. Kendrick just woke up, his breathing heavy. Logan zipped it closed and retreated away from the bag.
"Shit.. At least it ain't him again..."
"Ken, you okay?"
"Yeah Logan, I'm fine. No need to worry..."
"You sure? You woke up startled."
"Just a bad dream."
"Huh... Even I woke up from a nightmare. But...this nightmare was different from some of my usual ones."
"I see, well welcome back to reality, where you'd rather be."
"Heh, yeah..."
"Alex, wake up, time to get moving. You got enough rest, unless you want another one of those cold shoulders I've been giving you and I'm planning to raise its power." Kendrick shook Alex awake as she groans and moans, slowly getting up with a yawn.
"Get up you lazy ass."
"Damn Kendrick, relax, let me try to stretch myself. I haven't had a good sleep for a long time."
"You can go back to your beauty sleep when we finish this shit. Now come on, time to get moving."
Two hours later
The trio scavenged for any more supplies they can find inside the hotel before they can continue on to California, which is already a couple of kilometers away since they're in Nevada.
Logan just finished searching in a shop to see if anything useful or important was left behind, only found a taser. He accidentally bumps into Kendrick, who was behind him and just finished searching the last place they'll be looking.
"Shit. Sorry Kendrick."
"It's fine." Logan notices that he's wearing earphones.
"Um...what's with the earphones?"
"...Nothing."
"How will you hear any hostiles that might be coming?" Logan frowns at Kendrick, thinking that he's inconsiderate of what they're in.
"I'm psychic, what you think? I can sense anyone's presence and if I spot someone who might be a threat I'll alert you two of his or her presence."
"How?"
"Telepathy of course..." Kendrick sighs in frustration.
"Oh..." Logan then thought back of why Kendrick's wearing earphones.
"Kendrick, would you mind telling me why you're wearing earphones?"
"Uh..." Kendrick began feeling nervous, though trying to hide it from Logan but.
"No need to be nervous, remember, try to open up at least..."
"I...was listening music."
"Oh, what song are you listening?"
"Well... It's not like I'm a fan, but I like the song and I can see the message in that."
"Oh, what song you're talking about?"
"...It's none of your business."
"Kendrick, just please stop being uptight with me, just let me listen." Logan took one earphone from Kendrick and listened to whatever song Kendrick was listening, Kendrick froze in nervousness.
"This is the life! Hold on tight! And this is a dream! It's all I need!"
Logan immediately recognizes the song, it's been a while since he last heard of it.
"You never know where you'll find it! And I'm gonna take my time yeah! I'm still getting it right! Rai-right!"
"This is the Life... You were listening to a Hannah Montana song were you?" Logan grinned, which Kendrick began to feel even more nervous.
"Ugh... Yeah, I was listening to that."
"Hahaha, I never thought you're listening to a Hannah Montana song!" Logan laughed.
"I know, it's stupid of me to be listening to this song..."
"Huh? No, of course not, it's just for a very serious and intimidating guy, you seem to have some soft spots haha. I actually like this song too, though I ain't a fan of Hannah Montana, can say the same for you."
"Of course. Not really into watching these kinds of shows."
"I know, same for me."
"Oh, I almost forgot. What happened to you?"
"Huh? What you mean?"
"You were standing up, sleeping somehow without falling to the ground."
"Well... It's nothing to worry of."
"Still couldn't talk about it?" And there's the little worry in Kendrick's voice.
"Look..." Logan sighs.
"It's...something I couldn't bear to talk about..."
"I see... It's okay, you don't have to tell."
"Let me guess... You looked into my mind." Logan sighs again with annoyance added in the sound and looking at Kendrick with an annoyed looked.
"No, I didn't read your mind."
"Why not?"
"Logan... If we're to trust each other, I can't use my powers to take advantage of you, especially if you couldn't tell me something you don't want to talk about. I can wait."
"And how long can you wait?"
"Until you decide to come right into my doorstep and feel ready to tell me."
"And if I don't?"
"Then I can continue waiting." Kendrick shrugs. Well, he sure is quite a patient guy...
"Alright..." Logan deeply breaths, taking a moment. Seems Kendrick is allowing Logan to take his time to make himself feel ready to share it.
"Well, this is the last of the place we can search."
"Yeah. Alex, you done?" Kendrick talked through his comms.
"Yeah, finished looking, only found some leftover ammo."
"Alright, me us at the lobby." The two went to the lobby where they meet up with Alex.
"Well, time to head to California." said Alex.
Just as the trio are about to leave, Kendrick froze.
"Wait."
"What?" Logan asked while he and Alex stopped and looked at Kendrick.
Kendrick closed his eyes, looking like he's concentrating for a moment. It only took a couple of seconds till...
"Shit!"
"What is it?" Alex and Logan were confused when something rolled underneath their feet.
"Hide! They found us!" Kendrick pushes the two with telekinesis while he jumps away from what turns out to be a hand grenade which soon explodes.
The explosion then was followed by a rain of bullets as Kendrick shields himself and runs for cover while Logan and Alex went for cover as well.
"What the hell was that?!" Alex shouted as she brings out her Honey Badger.
"It's the Feds!" Kendrick responded as he begins shooting the attacking Federation soldiers.
"Damn! How did they find us?!" Logan asked Kendrick.
"No idea, doesn't matter. We have to get the hell out of here, there might be more outside!"
The three fought off the Feds and manage to take down all five of them who are in the way.
"Come on! We need to get to the car now!" Kendrick rushes in front of Logan and Alex to shield them in case whatever shit will happen. Unfortunately, the moment they went out, they were met with a group of Federation soldiers, trucks and helis.
"Fuck!" Kendrick created a shield in front of himself , Logan, and Alex as another rain of bullets hits them. Not a single bullet manage to pierce through the psychic barrier.
"Dammit! We can't get passed them!" Alex exclaimed.
"What should we do?!" Logan was filled with desperation, knowing that they're trapped.
Once the three went back to cover, they take a moment to try to think through.
"Guys, any idea how we can get out?" Logan asked.
"I've actually looked around the place while you two were in the other area. Apparently, there aren't. UGH!" Alex became frustrated.
"Kendrick, can't we just teleport?"
"We need room for us to do a successful teleportation, otherwise, we'd end up hitting something or someone and we'll won't be able to teleport. There isn't enough space for us to teleport out of here."
"SHIT! So how can we get the hell out?!" Logan was terrified, how can they get out of this shit?
"..."
"Kendrick?"
"...I...guess I have no choice..."
"What?" Logan was confused, but Alex's eyes went wide in shock.
"Oh hell no! Kendrick!"
"I know Alex, but this is already a worst case scenario." Kendrick sighs.
"But Ken, you only have five psionic barriers left! You can't risk yourself into breaking another barrier!"
"We got no choice!"
"Psionic barriers? What the fuck you guys are talking about?!"
"It's nothing that you should worry of Logan! Right now, you and Alex have to run away from me as fast as you can!"
"I don't understand! What are you talking about?!"
"It doesn't fucking matter, now go!"
"But Ken!"
"GO ALEX!" Kendrick shouted as he telekinetically pushes Logan and Alex far away from himself.
Alex got up quickly and grabs Logan's hand and dashes off, dragging Logan while he tries to get up.
"Dammit Kendrick! Ugh! Come on Logan!" The two continue to run away as fast as they can.
"We're leaving Kendrick? Why the hell are we leaving Kendrick?! We can't just leave him!"
"Logan, trust me, you don't want to know!"
As the two disappear in Kendrick's sight, he turns back to see the Feds still attacking. Kendrick deeply sighs...
"Dammit, if only I ain't forced to do this... But...there's no other way." Kendrick breaths deeply as he concentrates himself, dark red aura beginning to manifest around him as he slowly stands up.
Logan and Alex continue to run as they hear screams echoing past their ears, stopping the two dead on their feet and looking back.
"Holy shit! Where did the screams come from?" Logan had a worried look on his face, but there was no answer from Alex, her face filled with dread as a big blast of dark psionic energy begins to come rushing at the two.
"Fuck! Logan run!" Alex drags Logan away from the blast as the two head over to the stairs where the next floor is, but it was a dead end and are trapped.
"Oh God no!"
"Alex, what the fuck is going on?!" The two turn to see the blast almost reaching them as they brace for it. Luckily, it didn't reach them as the blast fades away, the blast manage to destroy everything in its radius. All it's left within the radius was nothing but the remains of the hotel, mostly piles of rubble.
"What the hell was that? Some psychic explosion?" Logan asked.
"Not exactly." the two went back down and set out to look for Kendrick.
There was nothing left but ruins in the area, Logan felt worried.
"Could Kendrick be alright?"
"Hopefully... Hopefully he is..."
The two searched through the ruins of the hotel. What kind of psychic attack did he just used? And how was it powerful enough to obliterate an entire structure? To Logan, he's clueless, confused as to what the hell just happened. But to Alex, she knows full well of it and she's scared shitless of that. The blast almost got them killed, but they manage to be inches away from it. One thing is for sure, today is just...peachy... Just...peachy...
Logan and Alex manage to come back to where the lobby once was, which is now flattened and in ruins. But there was no sign of Kendrick, but they caught a sight of something and the sighting is completely messed up that Alex looks away, horrified while Logan looks on in complete shock. Bodies of different Federation soldiers lay on the ground, it was a gorily bloody mess.
"What...the fuck..."
"Fuck this." Alex's face was filled with disgust.
Although the gore sight is one, but what worries Logan the most is where Kendrick is. It was confusing as to why he told them to get as far away from him as possible until he saw the aftermath of what just happened. Logan is filled with questions and confusion. How is he capable in all this...weird things? That's one question, but Logan has a ton of questions to ask. However, it's best to question Kendrick step by step. He didn't want to annoy Kendrick too much if he isn't comfortable to answer them. Right now, all they have to worry of is where Kendrick is.
"Motherfucker. Where the hell are you Kendrick?" Alex sounded annoyed, but it wasn't enough to overcome how worried she is.
In the distance, a deep red aura is seen emitting in the distance. Logan began to have a feeling of dread while Alex recognizes whatever Logan doesn't know and runs off, heading for it.
"Alex!" Logan chases Alex, trying to keep up. The aura is coming from a plaza nearby.
When they came, they caught a sight of a person kneeling down, trying to hide himself or something while dark aura is emitting and surrounding him. The person was whimpering, saying incoherent words from his quiet voice.
"Kendrick? Is that you?" Alex recognizes him.
"Kendrick...?" Logan tries to get closer to Kendrick.
"Logan, stay back. I'll handle this. I don't want anything bad happening to you." Alex halts Logan before he can continue going near him.
Alex slowly walk towards Kendrick, the red aura intensifying as she drew near him. The feeling of dread is all over her, but never showed it nor she was overwhelmed by it. Knowing what she's dealing with and she's dealt this before.
"Kendrick?"
"Nngh..." Kendrick curled in pain as a red shadowy and monstrous hand crawls up to Kendrick's head and pulls his head up.
"GAH!" The way it pulled his head up makes it look like it's trying to snap his neck.
"Shit! Kendrick!" Alex didn't hesitate to go ahead in doing what she knows is the easiest way to help him.
"You are the ocean's gray waves…Destined to seek life beyond the shore just out of reach…"
Bright blue aura began to engulf around her and Kendrick, the bright aura beginning to overcome the dark aura surrounding Kendrick.
"Yet the waters ever change…Flowing like time, the path is yours to climb…"
"Nngh... NNGH!" Kendrick groaned in agony and pain as he fell to the ground lifelessly while the dark aura and shadow disappears. His breathing was heavy. Alex kneels down to check on her friend, having a worried look when she saw how Kendrick is struggling.
"Kendrick? You okay?" Alex attempts to hold Kendrick by the shoulder, but he flinches and pulls away from her as if her touch burned him.
"G-Go...g-go away..." Kendrick's voice broke, how he sounded really got Logan. Kendrick sounded really terrified, which is something that's really out of personality since he's been used to Kendrick being brave and a total badass. Regardless, Logan became concern for him and goes to him, kneeling down and tries to hold him too.
"Kendrick...?" but was met with the same reaction from Kendrick, which makes Logan worried all the more.
"D-Don't...p-please..." Kendrick whimpered.
"Kendrick, please... We can't go if you're going to lay there..." said Alex, Kendrick faces the two, the mask and glasses still hid his face, but Alex knows for certain how Kendrick is feeling.
"You have to get up." Alex carries Kendrick up with Logan helping and the two carry Kendrick by his arms to the car and Alex places him at the backseat where he lays down, occupying most of the seat.
"Who's going to drive?"
"Well, of course. Me, duh..." Alex takes the driver's seat while Logan takes the front seat once again with Alex.
"Alex, how long will it take to reach California?"
"Not too long. Depends on what happens to us and whatever anyway."
"Alright, now let's get out of here. I'm beginning to relieve bad memories of this place..."
"No prob."
An hour later
Nothing exactly happened since they left Las Vegas, the whole time everyone was silent. Alex still driving, Logan sitting next to her looking on through the view of the world around him, and Kendrick still laying down on the back seat. The silence was bugging Logan, especially when Kendrick hasn't said a single thing since they left the Sin City. Logan thought of playing some music, but he felt that it isn't a good time to listen to music. All he could do is stare at the deserted land with the cloudy skies making the land look dim and somewhat dull and abandoned or wrecked cars scattering on the road. It looked like something out of a zombie apocalypse movie and while Logan does enjoy watching zombie films, having a zombie apocalypse in real life wouldn't be a cool thing to have, ain't like how it's done in video games whether if it's Left 4 Dead or Resident Evil. Though Logan wondered what's worse, a war or a zombie apocalypse. Regardless, the world is fucked up now...
Logan's thoughts then shift back to reality and to Kendrick, worried of his well being. Kendrick was laying down still, his unmoving body making it unsettling all the more.
"...Kendrick?"
No answer...
"Kendrick...?"
Still no answer...
Shit... I'm beginning to worry of him... What happened back there really did something to him. What did he do that left him like this...? Logan wondered what went wrong, not caring whether Kendrick can still hear him or not since he's psychic.
"...He'll be alright."
"Huh?"
"Ken will be okay. There's nothing to worry..."
"How are you so sure?"
"This isn't the first time he's ever done that."
"Do what? Create some psychic blast that leaves everything in rubble and anyone caught either mutilated, mangled or whatever shit and then...whatever! Fuck! I don't get this crap!"
"Well, it's complicated. So it'll be hard for you to understand."
"No shit..."
"...Do you care for Kendrick?"
"What?" That caught Logan by surprised.
"W-What do you mean?"
"Do you care for Kendrick?"
"U-Uh...why?"
"Nothing, seems to look like you're restless since we left Vegas."
"Y-Yeah..."
"Even if you barely know him?"
"Well... I'm trying to get him to open up with me."
"Huh... Well, he's a very private person. So it's going to take a lot of effort till Kendrick finally opens up with anyone."
"Is he always this tense?"
"Yeah. And it ain't his fault for being like this..."
"...Is it because of Rorke?"
"Not really. Rorke is just the one that adds it up for Kendrick and the one that really changed him."
"What do you mean?"
"The Kendrick before is way different from the Kendrick we know today. But that's all I can say."
"What you mean different?"
"I told you, that's all I can say. The rest is for Kendrick to talk about if he decides to be open with you."
Logan sighs, he's really curious of him. What did Alex mean by different? Guess it'll take time for Logan to figure out.
Damn they're really puzzling to know about, specifically Kendrick as well as Alex even though I knew her before...
He looks back at Kendrick, still in the same position. Though his face isn't seen, Logan can tell that he's asleep right now from the looks of how he's laying. Logan thought that he'll be fine since he's resting...
But not for long...
"NO!" he wakes up screaming and startled, it scared the hell out of Logan and Alex. Alex almost lost control of the car since she got startled by the scream.
'"Oh fuck! What happened?" Alex manage to keep the car on the road. Logan looks back at the now awaken Kendrick, he was breathing in a very fast paced.
"Kendrick?" Logan called out. Kendrick quickly snaps at Logan in the face.
"You okay?"
Kendrick slowly turns away from Logan as he slowly lay down in the seat.
"Fuck..." his voice silently came out of his mouth.
"Kendrick, you alright?"
"I'm... I'm fine..."
"You sure about that? You don't look nor sound alright..."
"I said I'm fine. No need for you worry."
"Then what's with the fact you sounded like you were sobbing and you suddenly went touch sensitive whenever me and Alex try to touch you."
"It's none of your concern Logan. I'll be alright."
"How should I know if you're alright?! You just woke up scared as hell!"
"I only had a bad dream Logan! That's all I can say, just the usual bad dream where I was faced with my greatest fear like how everyone does."
"Ken, I'll won't be judging you for whatever shit you're having cause I ain't one who judges people right away. Everyone gets scared, I don't give a fuck if I hear or see you screaming in horror. There's nothing to worry about when I'm with you. I...care for...you..."
"What?" Kendrick looks back at Logan, his voice sounded surprised.
"I...I care for you..."
"Why do you care for me? How is it out of all people other than Alex you care for me? You don't fucking know me."
"That's because you're not being fucking open to me!" That really got Kendrick when Logan responded back angrily.
"How should I know you if you keep sheltering yourself? You're still doing this until now..."
"Logan..." Kendrick looks down.
"I'm sorry... I know it's a big pain in the ass to get through me, but I couldn't be open since the time I first met Rorke."
"What do you me-" Logan stopped for a moment. If he is trying to be close with Kendrick, then what he's doing now only pushed him away. It only made him shelter himself even more...
Shit... I'm only making him shut me out...
"Why do you have to waste time with me?"
"Huh?"
"Why would you want to hang around with me out of anyone else? I'm no good for anyone, not even for you!"
"Why the fuck would you think that way?! I want to know more of you! I want to be friends with you! I want to be with you!"
"You don't know me Logan! And you do not want to no more of me!"
"What makes you think I shouldn't know more of you?"
There was no answer from Kendrick, instead Kendrick looked away and went back to laying down. Logan can only sigh, "Try to get some rest..."
Everything went silent between the two. The feeling of guilt began to take over Kendrick as he continues to look away and stare up the ceiling of the car.
How can I be such a fucking coward... Kendrick quietly sighs.
How can Logan ever want to be with me if I'm in this shit? Damn it... I was supposed to be open with him, trust him. Why am I being a coward?! he clenches his fists angrily hard, his feelings of anger being mixed with sadness. The mixture made it even worse for Kendrick, and the painful feeling from his actions back in Vegas isn't helping.
Kendrick tried to rest, but...
kEnDrIcK... kEnDrIcK... kEnDrIcK... ghostly whispers began to invade his ears, his eyes growing big and wide in fear, and his breathing beginning to go shaky.
iT... HuRtS...
"N-N-No..."
iT... HuRtS... iT... HuRtS...
"N-No... P-P-Please..." Kendrick whimpered, though neither Logan nor Alex hear his cry. And Kendrick is at least glad they don't know, they are worried enough of him.
iT... HuRtS... kEnDrIcK... iT... HuRtS...
"G-G-Go away... P-Please..." he shuts his eyes close tightly and covers both of his ears.
Unfortunately, the ghostly whispers won't stop and monstrous voices began to invade him.
Kendrick is psychic, but his powers won't stop the whispers sadly.
The monstrous voices continue to echo in Kendrick's ears, as if these voices are surrounding him, like he's surrounded by a crowd screaming and shouting at him in the ears in a distorted tone.
Logan looks back to see Kendrick squirming in pain, he felt helpless and he couldn't do anything to help him.
What can I ever do to help him...? he couldn't do anything, but look at Kendrick covering his ears as if the sirens are booming into his ears.
"I assure you Logan... He will be alright, this happened before and soon he'll be all good."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. He'll be fine, and that's nothing to worry about."
"Alright..." Logan sighs. The three continue on driving on the lonely highway.
Some time later
The trio stopped by at a small abandoned motel, it's already dusk and they're still quite far from California. Logan and Alex checked for any suspicious things, whether if it's from the Federation or the Ghosts. So far, nothing to be worried of while the rest here for a while before heading back to the road to head over to their destination. The two head back to the car to get Kendrick.
"So far, no Feds nor Ghosts stuff hanging around here. You, Alex?"
"Same. So it's safe to stay here to rest."
"Good. Wonder if he's still resting." The two reached the car when Kendrick opened and came out before closing the door behind him.
"Hey, Kendrick. We'll just be staying here for the night to rest." said Alex.
"You checked guys?"
"Yep, nothing to worry of." Logan smiled with assurance.
"Okay, good." The three head over to one of the rooms where they'll once again rest for the night. Alex opens the door and goes in, heading for the bathroom. Just Logan is abut to go in, he was held back in the shoulder by a firm grip.
"Hey..."
"What is it Kendrick?" Logan turns to see Kendrick.
"Um... L-Listen... About what happen earlier while we were in the car..."
"What about it?"
Kendrick sighs, "...I'm sorry."
"Sorry? What are you sorry about?" Logan became confused.
"What I said. I must've hurt you, and I know you were trying to help me. Also the fact you seem to care of me. You didn't deserve any of them."
"Kendrick... It's fine... I should be the one apologizing, I shouldn't be pushing you like that. I want to know more of you, just that you kept shutting me out..."
"I don't blame you. It's fault that I didn't let myself be open to you, and because of that, this is what happened."
"Ken, don't beat yourself up, we all did shit. We always end up doing shit... It'll be fine."
Kendrick sighs while looking away from Logan.
"It'll be okay..." he gave a warm smile at him and held him by the shoulder.
This time, no flinching. And that's something Logan is glad.
"...Thanks, Logan."
"No problem." Logan winked with a smirk and the two went inside and Kendrick closes the door behind him. There, the three rested for another day.
Hope things will turn out okay for them. Reviews are appreciated!
