Oh, I don't think this was as good as it could have been. Maybe I rushed it. Meh, enjoy :)

A very slow and painful month passed in the apartment of 2J. Kendall had felt like he was dead inside. Every time he would pass Logan in the apartment, the pain of his words would come stabbing him back in the heart, reminding him that he was in fact alive, but just numb from the pain.

Over the last month, Logan had said a maximum of ten words to Kendall. Avoiding him like he was the plague. James and Carlos' cold shoulders had finally melted and they were back to treating Kendall like normal. They couldn't punish the boy for how he felt, especially as they saw how much it was killing him.

Monday morning dawned just like all the others. Kendall rolled over in his bed and gazed at the empty mattress opposite him. It was always the same; Logan would get up and dressed before Kendall even woke up. Kendall threw his cover off of himself and headed to the bathroom to prepare for the day ahead. Once he was showered and dressed, he headed out into the living room to see James and Carlos fighting over the last bowl of cereal. Their gun wounds had finally healed and the two were acting like nothing had even happened.

Logan was sat on the sofa reading one of his medical books; he didn't even look up as Kendall entered the room.

"Morning." Kendall said with no enthusiasm in his voice.

"Morning dude. Ready for the big day?" James asked as he ripped the bowl from Carlos' grip.

"How is it any different from a normal day?"

"Well, it's not…but still." Kendall walked into the kitchen and placed two pieces of bread into the toaster.

"Hey Logan, you sure you don't want any breakfast?" Carlos asked.

"I'm fine Carlos." Kendall couldn't help but notice Logan's normal tone voice when he was talking to the Latino. Kendall wished he could go back to having that with Logan. But if the last month was anything to go on, Kendall and Logan's future seemed non-existent.

"Alright dogs, that's enough for the day." Gustavo barked as the four boys collapsed on the dance floor. "I'm ashamed to say that you guys actually worked hard today. You did well." And before Gustavo could rethink his words, he vanished from the dance studio.

"Alright! Carlos, we gotta get going if we're going to meet the twins."

"Twins?" Kendall asked James.

"Yeah, the new girls that moved into the Palm Woods. We managed to convince them to go on a double date with us." Carlos answered. James and the Latino both jumped up and hurried out of the studio, shouting goodbyes as they left.

"So it's just you and me." Kendall awkwardly said to the quiet brunette who just grunted in response. "Are you ready to go?" And Kendall's question was answered as Logan walked out of the studio without muttering a single word. Kendall sighed and picked himself off of the floor and followed his ex-friend but came to a halt when he almost bumped into Logan who was on the phone.

"Mom? Mom what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Kendall looked at the boy with a puzzled expression. "No Mom, tell me now. I can't wait until you get here. Please just tell me now. Mom? Mom?" Logan looked at his phone to see the call had been disconnected.

"Everything okay?"

"Mom's crying her eyes out and won't tell me why. She's on her way to the Palm Woods." Despite the horrid situation, Kendall couldn't help but feel good about the fact Logan had spoken to him.

"We better get you back there then." Kendall led the way to the car park where he climbed into the car Gustavo had bought them and waited for Logan to join him. Once both boys were all buckled in safely, Kendall pulled out onto the main road and headed for the freeway that would lead them back to their home.

Kendall couldn't help but notice Logan's uncertainty and worriedness as they drove back. Logan spent the majority of the drive staring out of the window. Kendall felt sorry for the boy and without thinking he placed his hand on Logan's knee, giving it a reassuring squeeze. Logan must have been so deep in his thoughts because he didn't even try to remove Kendall's hand.

They finally arrived at the Palm Woods and Logan was out of the car faster than a bullet from a gun. Kendall locked the car and sprinted after Logan. Logan burst through the door to 2J to see Joanna, Logan's mom, wrapped in the arms of Kendall's mom. Both moms were crying, although Joanna's crying seemed to be more hysterical than Jenifer's.

"Mom? Mom. I'm back. Now tell me what's going on." The two women broke their hug and Joanna slowly walked over to Logan and embraced him in a strong hug. "Mom, you're scaring me, please, tell me what's going on."

"S-s-sit down honey.." Joanna said while breaking the hug and offering a seat to Logan. Logan hesitantly took the seat while his mother sat next to him. She took one of Logan's hands and squeezed it quite tightly before she began to speak again. "Logan, sweetie. There's been an accident." Logan's eyes widened at the words. "Your father…he…he…he was driving home from work and…" a fresh set of tears began streaming from Joanna's eyes.

"Mom, please don't tell me…"

"He's gone honey."

"No, no he can't be! He just can't."

"His car was hit and the officers say he was pronounced dead on arrival." Kendall could tell that Logan's mom wanted to cry some more, but she just couldn't, there was nothing left in her to cry any more. Joanna looked at her son, expecting to see him fall to pieces before her. But to her surprise the boy just looked shocked. No tears. No sobbing. Just silence and shock.

"Logan. It's okay to be upset."

"I…I know. So when's the funeral?"

"Next week. But Logan…are you sure you're okay? You seem to be taking this a bit too well." His mother asked.

"It's just..It's just a lot to take in." Logan stood up and walked towards the hallway. "I'll be in my room." And he left without another word. Kendall, his mother and Joanna looked at each other, confused at Logan's behavior.

"It's just a lot to take in." Jenifer said turning to Joanna. "Now I'm going to help with anything you need okay?" Jenifer said, gently stroking Joanna's arm.

Kendall spent the rest of the day lounging on the sofa listening to his and Logan's mom talk about funeral plans. Jenifer had then insisted on taking Joanna out for something to eat to try and take her mind of the sudden loss of her husband, leaving Kendall alone in the living room.

The sun finally set and Kendall was starting to get tired. He hadn't seen Logan since he had disappeared earlier that day. Kendall heaved himself out of the indentation he had created on the sofa and shuffled towards his bedroom. The door was shut and he slowly opened it. The whole room was bathed in darkness. Kendall slowly closed the door and began removing his clothes to climb into bed. He stopped halfway removing his pants when he heard the soft sound of crying coming from Logan's bed. As Kendall's eyes adjusted to the light, he could make out a lump in Logan's duvet huddled right against the wall. Kendall finished removing his pants and replaced them with some pajama bottoms before slowly walking over to the two beds.

Kendall gently climbed onto the bed and shuffled his body closer to Logan's. He carefully placed his arm around him. Logan grabbed Kendall's hand and laced his fingers with the blonde's.

Logan took this as a sign of safety that he could finally let it all come out. Tears began to flow from his eyes like the flood gates had just opened. Kendall just held him close, squeezing his hand, letting Logan know that he was there.

Logan shifted himself so he was now facing Kendall and buried his head in the crook of his neck. Kendall held Logan as close to his body as he could. Kendall hated seeing Logan this hurt, and there was nothing he could do now except showing him that he was there for him. He kissed the top of Logan's head and waited for the genius to cry himself to sleep.
