I own nothing. Lyrics are bold,italicized and centered. Song is Just To Get High- Nickelback, which inspired me to write this fabulous story.
This is officially the ending of Gone and Done Now.
James runs his fingers through Logan's hair as they wait in the car for Kendall. It's been six months since they last saw Kendall. Praying that he's gotten better from his addiction.
" Excited to see Kendall?" Logan asks, he intertwines his fingers with James.
" More like elated," Logan smiles at James use of vocabulary. As teenagers James didn't have very broaden vocabulary until Logan sat down with him to go over new words.
" I love you," Logan replies pulling James into a deep kiss. James smiles into the kiss but it doesn't last because someone knocks on their car window. James spins around to see Kendall smiling. Logan and James scramble to open the door and tackle Kendall with a hug.
Kendall laughs lightly, " I miss you guys."
" We've missed you too Kendall," James says. " Do you want to go get lunch?" Kendall nods rapidly.
" I'm starving I haven't eaten since five this morning. I was too excited to be able to leave this place. It wasn't bad or anything get I missed being with my best friends."
James hops into the driver's seat again while Logan sits in the back with Kendall.

The guys arrive at a café close to their apartment. James and Logan sit together across from Kendall, with their hands intertwined.
" So how's everything going for you two?" Kendall asks. A small blush creeps across Logan's face. Kendall raises an eyebrow then Logan places his left hand on to the table, a gold band with the words JD + LM = 4ever inscribed, sparkles from the lighting. A massive smile appears on Kendall's face. " You too engaged now?"
" Yup, I asked Logie here about two weeks ago." James re-intertwines his and Logan's fingers together.
" I'm glad you two are going to get married. You've been together for how long again? And how did James propose?"
" Hmm I think four years," Logan replies. " Well James and I were on the lake across the park, the one near the apartment complex. So James told me to look over to see the geese swimming around. I turn back to see James holding a black, velvet box that had the ring. I think I had tears sliding down my cheeks because I was so happy. Then he asked me to marry him, I obviously said yes and I honestly didn't think he would propose yet. I mean we are only nineteen but I don't care. I love James so much." Kendall and James are smiling widely at Logan's remembrance of his and James engagement.
" Enough about us, how's everything for you Kendall?"
" Things been going great guys. I've been reading excellent books. I feel a lot calmer now and I don't feel like I need meth anymore to feel happy again."
" That's great Kendall. We're estatic that everything is alright for you," James states.

The sky is filled with cotton shaped clouds dancing, the sun shining brightly on this April afternoon.
After the guys finished eating their lunch Logan asked Kendall if he wanted to visit Carlos. Kendall said yes, they stop by a florist to purchase a bouquet of Carlos' favorite flowers, which are lilies and bluebells.
Kendall has the bouquet in hand as all three are walking slowly towards Carlos' grave. Logan and James stand a few feet away from Kendall, they want to give him privacy before speaking to Carlos.
Kendall squats down to place the flowers neatly on top of where Carlos was placed. This tombstone read, " Carlos Garcia. Beloved friend brother and boyfriend. 1992- 2010."
" Hey Carlos. I finished my stand at the rehab center. I feel a lot more serene and at peace with everything. I don't need drugs to feel this way anymore. It's amazing to have oxygen go into my lungs. It's really spectacular. Guess what? Logan and James are engaged! I knew that they would, seriously they are the perfect match just like ourselves. I really wish you could be here right now, so I could hold you in my arms. Go to the museum, the beaches and even the malls. I really miss you Carlos. I love you so much, forever and for always."

James and Logan are lying in front of the TV set. Logan's head on James' chest listening, almost memorized, to his heartbeat as the continue to watch the TV.
Kendall is sitting with his guitar in one of the kitchen barstools. He begins to strum his guitar and sing the song he wrote back in rehab, based on his bad experiences with drugs, singing from the perspective of his friends.
He was my best friend, I tried to help him
But he traded everything for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying, turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips, his fingertips
Were melted to the bone
But I can still remember
What his face looked like
When I found him in an alley
In the middle of the night
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick, get it over with
You're better off to take all that
You've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high
Three days no sleeping, he gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing to supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife on someone's wife
And held it to her throat
But I can still remember
What his face looked like
When I found him in an alley
In the middle of the night
Tell me what you did, where you gone and hid?
Show me what you really want, was it what you got?
Slowly circle in the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high.
Kendall sets his guitar back in his room and makes his way to a sleeping Logan and James. He grabs a blanket, the rests behind one of the couches, and covers Logan and James. He turns the volume from the TV down to a quiet level and puts in an old DVD of the four boys back when they were younger.
Kendall laughs quietly as hilarious scenes unfold in front of him.
Kendall believes that he is slowly getting over his addiction. He made the right choice in letting James and Logan help him.
I got the proposal from Taylor Swift's music video, Mine. I thought it would work well with James and Logan.
Please review! They mean so much to me! :)
