Big Time Surprises

Chapter 6

Carlos POV

Time flies when your with the one you love. It seems like yesterday when I first met James, back in Minnesota before we were famous.

Flashback

It seemed like a normal winter day in Minnesota. It was 20 degrees outside and I was off to another day at Minnesota Heights middle school. I didn't particularly like school, but my two best friends, Kendall Knight and Logan Mitchell got me through it. The three of us were stuck together like glue, we did everything together, hockey, homework, everything.

Not much happened at Minnesota Heights, besides the occasional sports event, not much happened, so you can see how everybody would be excited when our teacher announced a new student would be arriving within the next two days. Our teacher hadn't told us much, all he said was that his name was James. Rumors spread, people make up fantasies of what he looked like, while others made up ridiculous stories of why he was moving here in the first place. They were all proved wrong when he finally arrived in Minnesota. When he walked by, people stared, he wasn't like anybody else at this school. Girls wanted him, guys wanted to be him. To be honest, I didn't like James at first. I thought he was conceited, I just couldn't be friends with someone like that. That's why I was surprised at what I saw that day.

It seemed like a normal Thursday afternoon, Logan and Kendall had gone home early, I had to take a test, so I had to leave later. I walked out the front door, the cold wind hitting my face, I started to walk home, but something stopped me in my tracks. I heard someone crying. I looked around, but saw no one. Under further investigation I found the source, James. He was sitting on the back steps of the school. I sat next to him, not knowing what to say.

"James?" I asked.

He sniffled and at me. "Carlos?" He asked.

"What's wrong?" I asked, as much as I didn't like him I couldn't just leave him there alone.

"It's nothing." James said, letting out a sob.

"James, please tell me what's wrong." I said.

"No, I can't." James said, putting his head in his hands.

"James, I'm begging you, tell me."

I couldn't believe what I saw.

James opened his coat and pulled up his shirt. There were dozens of fresh bruises on this chest and stomach.

He quickly pulled his shirt down and started to cry again. I put my arm around him.

"James, who did this to you?" I asked, all my hatred for him gone.

"Eric and Fred." James choked out. Who else? Eric and Fred were the biggest jerks in the school, everybody hated them, so in return they beat up the geeks, or in James' case, the new kids.

"That's it." I said, standing up. James stopped crying and looked up at me.

"What do you mean?" He said.

"Come with me I'll explain when we get there." I said, taking James' arm and leading him to Kendall's house.

The next day me, Kendall, and Logan beat up Eric and Fred. They never said or did anything bad again.

Flashback over

Ever since then, me and James had been the best of friends. I remembered this, it seemed like just yesterday when in reality, it was years and years ago. Like I said before, time flies when your with the one you love.

James and I were one week away from celebrating our one month anniversary, I couldn't believe that it was possible to be this happy. James and I spent every spare moment together, nothing could tear us apart. That is why I was so sad that Kendall had dragged James away, Kendall was going to get his license today, and James was the best driver, so Kendall picked him. I was the only one in the house, until Logan walked in.

"Hey Logie!" I said from the couch.

"Hey Carlos." Logan responded.

"What's wrong?" I asked, patting the empty seat next to me. He sat down next to me.

"I broke up with Camille." Logan said, turning his head to look at me, a fresh hand mark on his right cheek.

"Logan, I know Camille can be a little dramatic but you can get used to-"

"I didn't break up with Camille because she slapped me. If that was the case I would have broken up with her a long time ago." Logan said.

"Then why did you break up with her?" I asked.

"Carlos?" Logan asked.

"Yes Logan?" I responded.

"I think I'm in love with Kendall." Logan said.
