Ch. 17: Opening Up

Meanwhile, that same evening, Carlos and Logan managed to convince their parents to meet in Logan's house.

"Alright guys," Joanna Mitchell said as she and her husband along with Carlos' mom and dad sat down in the Mitchell's living room "What's going on?"

"We -Carlos and I- need to tell you guys something," Logan began nervously.

"What's wrong, son?" Logan's dad asked Logan worriedly.

"N-nothing's wrong dad, it's just-"Logan said but faltered, his nerves making it impossible to speak.

"What's wrong? Did you guys get into trouble again?" Officer García asked jokingly.

"Not at all dad, it's just-" Carlos said before sighing, also nervous.

"Oh guys, c'mon, it can't be anything THAT bad," Sylvia García said soothingly.

"It is," said Logan miserably "Carlos, I can't do this, I'm sorry, they'll hate us!"

"Hate you?" Joanna Mitchell said "Honey, we can NEVER hate you, your father and I love you so much, Logie-bear, what could you have possibly done to think we'd hate you?"

"We-we-"Logan stammered.

"We're dating," Carlos said finally, in a loud clear voice. He wasn't ashamed of being Logan's boyfriend and he didn't want to give that impression.

Silence.

The four, very stunned parents just remained seated there, staring at their two sons.

Carlos sighed and held his hand out to Logan who took it without hesitating at all.

Sylvia García was the first to recover.

"Well-uh-that was, certainly, uh- quite shocking, I wasn't expecting anything like that…that's for sure," she said choosing her words carefully but she hugged her son nonetheless.

"Please don't hate us," said Logan pleadingly and on the verge of tears for his parents still hadn't said anything.

"Oh Logan," Joanna Mitchell said, snapping out of her shocked state and hugging her son tightly as well, "Baby, we can never hate you, it's fine, really, everything's going to be alright,"

"Dad?" Logan asked looking at his dad fearfully.

Logan's dad sighed.

"Your mother's right son," he said "Everything's going to be alright, it's fine, really, it's just-shocking-like Sylvia said,"

"How long has this been going on?" Officer García asked.

"Five months," Carlos mumbled, still in his mother's embrace.

"Five months!" Sylvia García exclaimed "Now why would you keep such a big secret from me- us- Carlitos?"

"I didn't want to lose Logan," Carlos said.

"Did you think we'd make you leave him?" Officer García asked "I'm shocked son, you should know us better than that, we don't care who you're dating at all, as long as you're happy, we're happy. As long as he respects you and treats you right, we're okay with it. Logan, I'm glad my son found someone as nice as you, and I trust you'll take good care of him,"

"Yes sir, of course," Logan replied softly, smiling at Carlos.

"I guess that goes both ways," Joanna Mitchell said "Carlos, dear, we're happy for you and Logan, I trust you'll treat my baby well…"

"Definitely," Carlos said, grinning at Logan.

"Guys, uh-" Logan's dad interrupted, seeming very uncomfortable "I hate to be the one to bring this up but, sooner or later, if you haven't already, you guys will want to-you know-do stuff together…be safe okay?"

Both teens blushed.

"R-relax dad," Logan said "You're right, Carlos and I HAVE already-you know- done that. We're always safe."

"Plus, we've only ever been with each other so," Carlos said with a shrug "Unless you've cheated on me?" he added jokingly to Logan.

"Never," Logan said, giving Carlos a gentle kiss on the lips.

Their parents all smiled.

"Well," Sylvia García said "This will take some time getting used to but, as I said, we're happy for you guys, Logan honey, we're glad for you and Carlos…"

"Thanks," Logan replied.

"In fact," Logan's dad said "Wouldn't you guys prefer to be together? While you're here, I mean? Because back in L.A I understand you guys share a room, am I right?"

"Yes," Carlos and Logan answered at the same time.

"Well then," Logan's dad said "Carlos, would you like to spend the night here with us, so you can be with Logan and Logan will spend the night with you tomorrow and so on for the rest of this month?"

"Can we?" both teens asked simultaneously.

Their parents all laughed.

"Of course Carlos, you may," Sylvia said, her husband nodding beside her, both of them smiling.

"I guess we'll have company tonight then," Joanna Mitchell said smiling, ruffling Carlos' hair.

Both Carlos and Logan smiled at each other relieved, and most importantly, in love.

"I just have one condition in order to do this though," Officer García said sternly.

"What's that?" Both boys answered at the same time.

"You guys say you've done stuff already, well, that's okay but, at least in here, no sex in the house, understand? We don't want to listen to you at nighttime and be unable to sleep…" he said.

"We're not THAT loud," Carlos said, blushing 'Kendall and James are loud…' he thought.

"Well, as long as you two keep it down and are safe then it's fine by me," Logan's dad said.

"But it's NOT fine with me," Officer García added "Carlitos, I mean it, no sex in the house…"

"Yes dad," Carlos said glumly.

"But other than that I guess you won't be separated from one another at all this month," Joanna Mitchell said smiling at her son and his boyfriend.

Carlos and Logan grinned.

"I love you," they told each other at the same time before engaging in a passionate make out session which they broke off only after Carlos' dad gave an embarrassed cough.

"Oh, that's right, you guys are still here," Carlos said, making everyone else laugh.

"So…anything else we should know about you two? What else have we missed these past months that you've been in L.A?" Sylvia García asked.

"Well…not much," Carlos said "I mean, Logan's studying like always when he's not with me, I'm pulling off crazy stunts all the time, James is still-well-my partner in crime and still obsessed about his looks and Kendall…is Kendall," Carlos finished with a shrug.

"Well…there's also the fact that James and Kendall are dating," Logan added.

"Really? The two of them as well huh? Well that's really surprising…I mean, I don't want to seem mean or anything but I saw it coming for James, I never imagined Kendall would go the same way though, he always seemed very into girls…" Joanna Mitchell said.

"Well, James Diamond has a charm that so far nobody's been able to resist," Logan said logically "Well, at least nobody that he's made his mind on obtaining and according to James he's had his crush on Kendall since like, forever, so yeah, it makes sense that Kendall wouldn't be able to resist him if James was doing his very best to impress him…"

"Does Jen know this?" Sylvia García asked.

"Yes," both Carlos and Logan answered "She knows about Kendall and James AND she knows about us as well…"

"Does Brooke know this? Or James' dad?" Officer García asked.

"No," said Logan slowly "And I don't think they're planning on telling James' parents anytime soon…they're all so afraid of Brooke- and they should be, I mean, that woman's scary…"

"She'll want what's best for her son," Joanna Mitchell said "And if she sees that Kendall makes James happy…well, maybe-"

"Maybe," Logan agreed with his mom "But that's the problem mom, with Brooke Diamond, it's ALWAYS going to be a maybe, James and Kendall have no guarantees that she'll let them be together and they don't want to risk it…"

"Well, she'll have to find out sooner or later," Logan's dad said "They can't hide forever, particularly if they're as serious as you guys claim they are, they'll want to get married someday…is she not going to be a part of her own son's wedding?"

"After finding out that James is gay, she might not even want to be," Carlos said.

"Nonsense son," Officer García said "Of course she'll want to be part of her only son's wedding…any mother would,"

"She's not just any mother, though," Logan said "She's Brooke Diamond and it sure makes me glad to say she isn't MY mother…"

Carlos nodded in agreement, meanwhile leaving their parents very troubled…
