Chapter Two

I lay on my bed face up, stretching my legs so my muscles could loosen up a bit. It had been a long two hours of harmonizing and an even longer three hours of dancing. I could hear James on the phone to the Chinese restaurant, ordering our food. Carlos and Kendall argued over the television channel, and I could hear James chastising them from where he stood in the kitchen.

Then the doorbell rang. A small idiotic part of me hoped that the restaurant had a teleporter and somehow the food James was still ordering was already at our doorstep. The logical part of me knew it was probably Jo. She usually came by the house at this time, wanting to either steal Kendall away or invade on guy time because she missed her boyfriend.

I groaned as her voice seeped into my room. I didn't hate her as a person, she was really nice and sweet and…Kendall's girlfriend. I hated seeing them together. I hated watching as his eyes softened when she laughed, hated seeing the way he'd kiss her when he thought know one was watching. His eyes just...seemed to light up whenever she was near. And now, I'd have to watch as they flirted all through dinner.

But for now, I could just close my eyes and pretend to be dead to the world until someone called me for dinner. That is, if anyone realized I was missing.

I woke up four hours later. It was just past midnight as I sat up stretching my arms over my head. My stomach growled angrily. I didn't know when I fell asleep, but I could hear the silence of the apartment. I prayed I wouldn't wonder out to see Kendall and Jo together and my brain said it'd be easier to just go back to sleep than risk it, but my stomach roared again.

I sighed and quietly moved to the kitchen, seeing the mess left behind. The food containers were left spread out over the table and counter, I wasn't sure if it'd be good anymore. I looked through the food, finding my container empty. Someone had eaten all of my beef and broccoli…and for some reason that just pissed me off. Not only could they not be bothered to wake me or clean up their mess, but now they ate my food. I growled and looked at the other containers. They were all empty.

I rolled my eyes as I gathered the empty containers, tossing them into the garbage. I moved to the fridge, looking at the left over food. I pulled out a carton from McDonald's, opening it and immediately holding it away from me. It was old, very old, like green mold old. I tossed that into the garbage too and continued my search for food.

After emptying half the fridge of things that may or may not have been food at some point, cleaning the counter and washing the plates in the sink, I finally tied up the bag and moved to leave the apartment in search of both food and a toxic waste dump site.

"Logan," a female voice whispered in shocked surprise. "I didn't realize you'd be awake…and cleaning?" She giggled softly.

"Jo," I whispered, fighting to put a smile on my face before turning to see her. To say she was disheveled would be an understatement. She had obvious sex hair, a goofy grin; her clothes were wrinkled and looked like she had mistaken Kendall's shirt for her top. My gut clenched as my mind put it together. They'd slept together, and now she was sneaking out before the others saw her.

"Jo," Kendall whispered as he came out of his room. "You forgot-," he stopped short, his eyes landing on me.
Jo grinned and took the phone from his hand. "Thanks," she whispered leaning into him and kissing his neck.

I shivered and forced a smile turning to look anywhere but them.

"Well," Jo whispered, "I should be going." Her gaze turned to me as my eyes fell on her again. "Are you going to take the garbage out?"

My teeth grinded softly but I pushed through it. "Yeah, I just need my keys."

"I'll walk with you," she grinned.

I tensed. "No that's okay, I was going to listen to some music anyway...go out to eat or something." She opened her mouth to protest and I quickly cut her off. "Besides, I bet you're exhausted."

Her face turned red and she looked from Kendall to me and then to the door. "You're right, I'll see you around Logan." Then she turned to Kendall and lifted up kissing him passionately.

Without waiting for more of a goodbye I dropped the bag and hurried to my room, grabbing my keys and ipod. Shoving the ear buds into my ears I turned up the music, ran out to grab the garbage, and escaped through the front door. Praying that Kendall hadn't noticed how hurt I was.

I'm not stupid; I knew they were active together. After all, Kendall was a boy and his libido was probably just as bad or worse than my own. And Jo seemed all too willing to help him out in that area. But was it too much to ask not to see it? To be spared the view of Jo in Kendall's shirt?

I sighed, tossing the bag into the dumpster and took a step towards the 24 hour diner nearby. My stomach didn't growl at the mention of food, in fact it just tossed in a nauseating way. I swallowed hard and turned to move back into the Palm Woods.

By the time I had made it back to the apartment, after walking up the stairs and through the hall as slow as humanly possible, Jo was gone. I was eternally grateful, until my eyes landed on Kendall sitting at the table. My stomach clenched and my heart dropped, leaving my body confused on how to react. My mind took over, forcing a smile onto my lips as I pulled the ear buds out. "I bet you had a great night," I mumbled, moving to the fridge to grab water.

Kendall chuckled and nodded. "Definitely. It was amazing Logie."

I shivered, closing my eyes as I took a drink from the bottle.

"It was nothing like doing it solo," Kendall continued. As if I wanted to hear more. "I'm just really happy mom and Katie were out of town." He grinned, eyes bright and body relaxed as he watched me.

"It was your first time," I whispered, realizing Jo had taken something else I had wanted.

Kendall blushed and ducked his head. "Shut up."

I gasped softly and closed the bottle silently. I hadn't realized a part of me had still wished it wasn't true. "I think I'll go back to bed now," I whispered hoarsely.

Kendall watched me, tilting his head. "Logan, are you sure you're ok? You've been acting strange."

I smiled weakly and nodded. "Yeah I'm just tired I guess." I turned, moving past him and towards my room, pausing in the hall way. "Where are James and Carlos?"

"Carlos crashed out in James's room, so I think James is either with him or in Carlos's room since the couch is empty. Why?"

I smiled and shook my head. "No reason." I continued into my room and jumped at the sound of the door closing behind me. "Kendall?"

"Logan, tell me what's wrong," he whispered staring into my eyes.

I opened my mouth to lie, but at this close proximity and the intense gaze Kendall was boring into me I just couldn't think. So, I did the next best thing. Tell the half truth. "James and I broke up."
