Chapter 22

"Kendall, please go back to being normal, I can't stand seeing you like this." Logan said as Kendall refused the second meal that day.

"It's not that easy, Logie." Kendall cried out. Logan sat on the bed and Kendall fell onto him. He started to sob.

"Why did those stupid dummies have to come back into my life?" Kendall wailed. "And I don't care if stupid is a bad word, Logie…that's what I feel!" Kendall said. Logan nodded.

"Is your friend still coming over?" Kendall groaned rolling over.

Logan nodded. "But if you don't want her to come, I'll cancel she's supposed to be here any minute though." Logan said sympathetically. Kendall shook his head.

"Its okay, Logie." Kendall rolled on his back. Logan nodded as he heard the doorbell rang.

Kendall stayed in bed while Logan answered the door. A woman with brown hair and blonde highlights stepped in. She had a pretty face and Logan adored her because she understood. Of course he loved Carlos more because he was kinda a guy.

"LOGIE!" The girl screamed jumping into his arms.

"Alison, it's so good to hug you again." Logan said squeezing tight.

"You too." Alison said though it was muffled into Logan's shoulder. Logan and Alison sat on the couch catching up.

"One sec, Alison I have to check on…" Logan said already getting up. But Kendall walked out. Alison cooed.

"So this is Kendall!" she exclaimed. "Hi, honey." She said softly. Kendall softly waved.

Alison grinned, "I see you've got a lover…" she said laughing, making Kendall and Logan blush. Logan sat down by then, leaving Kendall to stand.

"Logie…" Kendall whimpered sitting close to him. He buried his head into Logan's neck and threw his arm across his stomach. "I tried to take a nap but every time I close my eyes I see them." He shuddered and hid his face even deeper into Logan's neck so the stranger wouldn't see him cry. But his shoulders jerked every time he sniffled.

Alison looked concerned. "What happened, Logie?" she asked.

"He's been through a lot." Logan said rubbing Kendall's back. He gave her a look that said, 'I'll tell you later. She nodded.

"He's so cute!" Alison suddenly shrieked, making Logan jump.

"He's been told." Logan said laughing. Alison nodded. Kendall began to nod off, his head rolling down to Logan's chest then jerking back to his collarbone. Logan chuckled.

"I think somebody's still tired." Kendall gripped onto the stomach of Logan's shirt. "No, Logie…let me stay with you." Kendall moaned tiredly.

"Wanna go out for lunch?" Alison suddenly asked. Logan grimaced. "Kendall's…"

"No I'll go Logie…just promise me, you'll protect me." Kendall said with pure fear in his eyes.

"Are you sure, Kendall nobody's forcing you." Logan said looking at Alison for confirmation. She nodded. "You don't have to go sweetheart." Kendall scowled at both of them before growling, "I'll go." Logan was shocked at his tone. Kendall was determined and Logan could see the fire of it burning in his pale green eyes.

Logan hesitated before finally nodding slowly. "Okay, Kendall go get your coat and put some jeans on." Kendall nodded before slowly walking off. Logan could tell he was nervous inside to go but Kendall was stubborn and he would never admit it.

Logan grabbed his coat, giving his friend a bad look. "Really? Lunch?" Logan said disbelieving.

"You can't allow him to stay in his misery, he'll drown." His friend Alison hissed, smiling as Kendall came out. Kendall held Logan's hand squeezing it tightly. Logan rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb to show that he wasn't going to leave.

"We're only going to a coffee shop." Logan's friend said as she opened the front seat for Logan. Logan shook his head. "I'm sitting with Kendall." Alison nodded. She got in the front. As she revved the engine up and started to drive, Logan looked over at Kendall. He was nervously looking out the window desperately trying to calm his ragged breathing. Alison, oblivious to the whole thing put on some music so it was Kendall and Logan in their own little world.

Logan gently yanked Kendall from the window pulling him against his chest. Kendall was still breathing harshly.

"Listen…Kendall, listen to me." Logan whispered softly into his ear. Kendall nodded.

"Yes, Logie?" he whimpered. He closed his eyes holding Logan's jacket.

"Breathe." Logan commanded. Kendall did but it came out jagged and strained.

"No. Try again. Breathe in and out slowly." Logan said. Kendall did, his breath coming out smoother and smoother.

Logan smiled in satisfaction. "Kendall, don't let your past haunt your future, I promise I won't let it catch up to you, I won't let it beat you, you know why?" Logan asked softly.

"Why?" Kendall asked softly, twiddling with Logan's thumbs.

"Because we're running this race together and when you get tired, I'll carry you to the finish line." Logan said kissing Kendall's temple. Kendall nodded as Alison pulled up to the coffee shop.

Logan and Kendall and Alison all exited the car. Alison was surprised to see Carlos rudely yanking a coffee cup out of the cashier's hand.

"I asked for espresso, bitch." He muttered walking away. Alison chuckled. "What the fuck is that dude's problem?" she asked snickering.

"That's my friend Carlos and unfortunately, he's my problem." Logan said shaking his head.

"Uncle Carlos!" Kendall shrieked. Logan looked over in shock. Carlos looked up, his brows furrowed until he saw Kendall, Logan and Alison.

"KENDALL!" he yelled running over to him. He hugged Kendall tightly. Kendall hugged back fiercely never so glad to see Carlos.

"Uncle Carlos, I missed you." Kendall said softly.

"I always miss you." Carlos said caressing a damp cheek with his thumb. "Have you been crying?" he asked alarmed. Kendall nodded dropping his head to Carlos' chest. It made his heart break; he's never seen Kendall so vulnerable.

"What happened and you better tell me now." Carlos said using the same venomous tone whenever Kendall cried.

"He saw them." Logan whispered. He looked down at his friend's hands knowing they were going to clench into fists.

"Where? What did they look like? When I get my hands on those assholes…who do they fucking think they are…?" Carlos ranted angrily. Logan could see the bulky muscles on his arms bulge. Logan shuddered; he would hate to be the one who got Carlos mad.

"Uncle Carlos…" Kendall whimpered backing up. Logan stepped in while Alison gently took Kendall.

"Carlos, you're scaring him." Logan said softly putting a hand on the throbbing muscles.

Carlos exhaled sharply and hugged Kendall. "Don't worry, Kendall we'll protect you. You're our family now."

Kendall nodded against Carlos' shoulder. "Let's get some coffee or something alright?" Kendall nodded again and they all sat down, while Logan and Alison got up to order. Logan ordered pie especially for Kendall.

When they got back to the table, Kendall was softly giggling. Logan smiled. He looked at Carlos who grinned at Kendall. Kendall's eyes brightened ever so slightly at the sight of pie.

"I-Is that for me?" Kendall asked shyly pointing to himself. Logan nodded, smirking while pushing the pie to Kendall. Kendall took it before slowly eating it. He occasionally glanced nervously around.

"Kendall, you don't have to be scared." Logan reminded him. Kendall nodded before progressing onto eating messier and messier. Carlos giggled.

"I see he's never lost the same eating habits huh?" Logan nodded. "This is actually the first thing he's eaten all day."

"Poor little baby." Alison said. She glanced at Carlos. "Who are you?" she asked politely.

"I'm Carlos…it took you that long to acknowledge my awesome presence?" Carlos asked baffled.

"I'm shy." Alison concluded looking down at her food.

"Yeah shy my ass." Carlos said only loud enough for Logan and Kendall to hear. Logan glared. Kendall slapped Carlos' hand.

"Bad word, Uncle Carlos." He corrected. Carlos nodded before pinching Kendall's cheek.

"My good little boy." He cooed. Kendall giggled before trying to get away from Carlos' offending hand. Logan reached for Kendall and wiped his face, pushing his sandwich towards him. "Eat this now." He said gently. Kendall nodded.

"Logan?" Kendall asked.

"Yes, Kendall?" Logan replied.

"I'll try…" Kendall said.

"Its okay let it out." Logan urged.

"I'll try to forget." Kendall whispered.

Logan smiled, getting up to hug Kendall. Kendall smiled into Logan's shoulder. "Thank you, Kendall. You know I love it when you're happy right?" Kendall nodded.

"I have a comment, Logie." He said politely.

"Shoot." Logan said.

"Your friend Alison has…" Kendall said struggling for the words. Then he pointed to her chest before he got it.

"Breasts!" Kendall shrieked, smiling. Carlos snorted, spilling out his coffee. He started laughing so hard that the vein on his forehead bulged.

Alison looked down and turned red. While Logan tried to stifle a giggle. Kendall sensed something and his voice became small.

"Did I do something wrong, Logie?" he asked.

"No, Kendall. Good job for remembering!" Logan said. Carlos kept laughing, gasping for breath.

"Ah…stop Kendall you're killing me." He exclaimed still laughing clutching his chest.

"Uncle Carlos don't die…please you have to breathe!" Kendall said hitting his back. Carlos sucked in a long breath and slowed down his laughter. He still gave the occasional giggle.

"Ha, breasts…this guy's gonna kill me." Carlos said still giggling. Alison giggled a little bit too.

"Yea, Kendall good job…" she said with fake encouragement. Kendall nodded finishing his sandwich.

"Yeah Kendall good job. Hey do you know what down there is called?" Carlos said pointing to his crotch.

"CARLOS!" Logan and Alison yelled while Carlos erupted into giggles again.
