Alice: I was going to update some of my earlier stories before this but…

Emily: I suddenly got bombarded with reviews and messages to update.

Alice: So I updated! Thank you so much for all the support, and here's the next chapter.

Day 13

Logan no longer lived in the crib with the four boys, Katie, and Mama Knight. Each one tried to stop him, providing their own argument to why he should stay and how they would treat him better. Logan, however, insisted he had to leave and it would be "better for everyone". Katie noticed the changes in everyone since he moved. After dating Alex, James was very cruel towards him but now his eyes filled with guilt and regret. Carlos, who used to always have a smile, had a whole new set of insecurities and continued to say how it was his fault Logan left. And just like before, Kendall had a broken heart. It was only worse.

After Gustavo and Kelly discovered Logan's sudden limp and break downs out of fear, she paid close attention to him whenever she could. He barely left Alex's room unless it had something to do with Big Time Rush. The rare times he came out to hang around the pool, Katie saw how he feigned each smile. "Should we try to make him come back?" Katie had asked the day after he left. By that time, it was clear he wasn't going to change his mind and come back. Jenifer Knight shook her head sadly, claiming it was his choice. Somehow Katie couldn't accept that.

She absently held the controller. The TV screen flashed "You Lose" in bright neon colors. She lost but not the game; she lost so much more than that. She sneered to herself. She just wished none of this ever happened. She wanted things to go back to the way they were. Crying wasn't an option though. The countless of times building up her image as a strong, independent woman would be thrown away in a heartbeat if she let out a single tear. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Her heart leapt as she hurled herself off the couch and sprinted towards the door. She threw it open. "Logan!" she beamed only for it to slowly evolve into disappointment then confusion. "Y-you…" she breathed out.

"Hey," the person nodded in acknowledgment.

Kendall laughed as Sarah described her first meeting with Lady Gaga backstage and how she fainted. "That's hard to believe," Kendall chuckled. "You seem to be so calm. I can't picture you screaming and fainting at the sight of a famous person."

"Well I did," Sarah pouted. "And it was horrible! I swear Lady Gaga will always remember me as that freaky fan that fainted."

"At least she'll remember you," Kendall pointed out.

"Okay your turn," Sarah's eyes glistened. "What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?"

Kendall paused to think over the many instances that embarrassed him. One stuck out so clearly, so he decided to pick that one. "I was eleven I think," Kendall informed her. "Logan and I just met, and he said I could meet his parents. I probably had a crush on him at that point because I got so nervous. Well he invited me over and his parents were supposed to go out for a fancy dinner. I was so nervous I actually dropped juice on his mom's really expensive dress. I nearly died!"

"At least you didn't faint," Sarah teased.

"I might have," Kendall joked. A sudden song went off which Kendall recognized as his ringtone. He shoved his hand in his pocket, dishing around for his phone. He stared at the unknown number that sent him a text message. Sarah was curiously looking over his shoulder. Kendall pressed the open button, half expecting this person to have the wrong number.

'Hey, it's Logan,' it read. 'I got a new phone, so this is my new number. Listen I want to talk to you about Alex and about us. Meet me at the crib as soon as you can.'

Kendall's eyes went wide as his heart pounded in his chest. His hand trembled slightly. Sarah just finished reading the text. "Kendall?" she turned to him.

"Should I go?" Kendall murmured more to himself than to her.

"Course!" Sarah encouraged. "Kendall he wants to talk to you! Maybe he wants you back or maybe he wants to move back in!"

It was amazing how much Kendall actually told her. They had become very good friends over the past couple of weeks. Kendall nodded numbly and stood up, shoving his phone back in his pocket. "Wish me luck?" he grinned shyly.

"All the luck in the world," Sarah whispered, kissing his cheek and offering a grin. Kendall nodded and sprinted away. As he ran, Sarah watched with sad eyes. "I really do wish you luck." She whispered softly.

"Logan!" Kendall burst into the crib without a second thought. Logan jumped practically ten feet in the air from where he was seated on the couch. Instead of looking relieved or happy, Logan paled. Kendall didn't notice as he walked over and sat down. "I just got your text."

"M-my text?" Logan blinked, whispering it.

"Yeah," Kendall grinned. "Do you want to move back in? Is that why you texted me? You said you wanted to talk about us to. Are you-"

"MAMA KNIGHT!" a voice happily screamed. Kendal and Logan turned to see Carlos run in only to blink and pout. "Where's the corn dogs?"

"Corn dogs?" Kendall frowned, slightly frustrated that they were interrupted. "There are no corn dogs in here, Carlos."

"What?" Carlos pouted.

"Gustavo, I'm here!" another voice screamed. This time James ran in the room, grinning from ear to ear. "When can we start the photo…" he noticed the others in the room, "shoot…?"

The boys all glanced at each other, frowning. Logan clenched his fists and stood up, frowning. "Which one of you guys know?"

"Know about what?" Kendall frowned.

"About," Logan pressed forward a bit. "About the… um… which one of you texted me?"

The three glanced at each other. "I didn't," Kendall's eyebrows furrowed. "But you texted me."

"I did?" was his confused reply.

"Yeah," Kendall nodded. "You said you got a new number and you wanted to talk about everything… about us and about Alex. You said to meet you here. It was from a new number though, so my phone didn't recognize it."

"I… I never sent that," Logan frowned. "I got a text saying someone knew something about… me and to meet here. I didn't want it going around, so I came here. It was an unknown number."

Logan and Kendall turned to Carlos and James, who in return shrugged. "I got a text from an unknown number saying it was Mama Knight. She said she was making a ton of corn dogs for me." Carlos responded.

"Same. It was an unknown number that said it was Gustavo. He wanted to put me in a private photo shoot for a really popular magazine," James frowned. "Do you think the same number texted each of us?"

"Maybe," Kendall nodded. "But why would they want all of us to meet here?"

"Look," Logan stood up. "If no one texted me that, then I'm going to go back to the apartment."

"Why?" Carlos pouted. "You just got here. Stay and talk to us! Maybe we can figure out who texted all of us."

"I did." A very familiar voice came out. The boys all gasped and turned around to see Camille and Jo standing next to someone they haven't seen in a long time:

Lucy Stone.

She smirked. "Hello boys."

"L-Lucy…" Kendall whispered, feeling slightly awkward how every single one of his exes (Jo, Lucy, and Logan) were in the room. What was she doing here? When he picked Jo over Lucy, she had left and refused to pick up her phone. Eventually they stopped trying to get in touch with her. Logan froze wondering if Jo and Camille told Lucy but he already knew the answer. She was the one who texted all of them and due to Logan's text, she knew about him and Alex.

"Babe!" James grinned, his flirty nature returning. "Did you come back just to see me?"

"No," Lucy shook her head. "I came here because Jo called me."

"Jo did?" Carlos titled his head innocently. Jo hated Lucy though Carlos never understood why. When she saw Lucy kissing Kendall in the elevator, immediate hatred was brought between the girls. With Logan, she accepted it with a bright smile. Carlos never understood that but he guessed it was a girl thing. "How?"

"Well I kept in contact with her," Camille explained. "She never answered to you guys because you would beg for her to come back or something stupid. She got a new phone number and gave it to me. I gave it to Jo just in case I lost the number. And she called Lucy to come down and help you guys."

"Help us?" Kendall narrowed his green eyes. "We don't need help."

"Sure you don't," Lucy rolled her eyes. She directed her finger to the orange couch. "Sit."

Each boy frowned but followed her orders. Lucy smirked in satisfaction before glancing over at Jo and Camille. They nodded and sat down as well. She eyed each one of them before pointing to James. "You're going to go first."

"Huh?" James was taken aback. "With what?"

"It all started on Kendall and Logan's anniversary, right? Well, you're going to start with your side of the story on what happened since then. No one interrupt him, got it?"

They nodded. "Good," Lucy grinned. "Now go."

James scoffed, wondering why Lucy was suddenly taking orders. Either way, he might as well start with his story. He didn't understand why they needed to do this, but maybe it was some bonding thing? They each tell each other what happened and they get close again? James began. "Carlos and I were about to watch a movie when Kendall called and said Logan wasn't there yet before hanging up when Logan actually got there. He called again like five minutes after and said Logan broke up with him. So we went there and we took him home."

James looked a bit hesitant. "What Kendall said was true. Logan did break up with him and we didn't know why until Alex came and started talking about how he had sex with Logan. Heck, it was before Logan broke up with him! I mean, seriously? On their anniversary! I kissed Camille that one time Logan and her were dating. It wasn't even a serious relationship and Logan was still hurt! So I was surprised Logan would cheat on Kendall and kind of disgusted."

Logan flinched. "Then Logan and Alex started dating. Kendall got more miserable and I was trying to help him get another girl. Logan was… is keeping secrets too. Apparently Jo and Camille know about them. Kendall and Logan kissed and Alex caught them. Kendall took all the blame! Like, really? Why would you kiss Kendall then go right back to Alex? That's just playing with his heart. But then Logan was going to move out and I felt bad. Didn't stop him from moving out though."

James paused, wondering if there was anything to add. His mind flashed to the bruise he discovered on Logan before he moved out, but he decided not to mention it. "That's it," James concluded.

Lucy nodded, clearly pleased. "Carlos, your turn."

Carlos nodded, his eyes filled with sadness. He opened his mouth and trembled slightly. His story was a lot like James'. Instead he turned to Logan with sad eyes. Logan was staring at his lap with his head down. "Why do you hate me?"

Logan's head whipped up as he blinked at Carlos, who had tears in his eyes. "What?" Logan whispered.

"I went to Alex a while ago before you told us you were going to move out," Carlos confessed.

Logan's mouth dropped in shock. Not knowing what to do, he stood up and walked over to sit next to him, wrapping his arms around him in a reluctant hug. "Carlos, why would you do that?" Logan whispered softly, the worst images flying through his head.

"There was something wrong with you," Carlos choked out. "I wanted to ask Alex 'cause he was your boyfriend… he said I was why you were acting so weird. He said you hated me for not backing you up or standing up for you and trying to talk to you."

"That's not true," Logan whispered calmly into Carlos' ear.

"He said you told that to him," Carlos murmured.

"He must have been… confused or mistaken. Carlos, I could never hate you. Any of you guys. I haven't really acted like it, but I really do love you all." Logan's own hands began to tremble. Carlos sniffed and tried to stop the tears from falling. Jo and Camille stayed silent. Lucy nodded, a look of pity and sadness in her eyes as well.

"Kendall," she murmured. "Your turn."

"Um… I guess my story's the same as James," Kendall shrugged, trying to seem indifferent. "I was at the restaurant that I spent weeks saving up for. I was worried because Logan was late and when he showed up, he broke up with me. Then he started avoiding me. I guess he felt guilty for cheating on me? Alex moved in and they started going out. I tried to get him to take me back, but it didn't work. Sarah, a friend of mine, has been helping me out."

Carlos frowned when Logan's grip on him suddenly tightened. Carlos turned to see a hard, almost sullen look in Logan's eyes. Was he jealous? Carlos mused over this for a second before Kendall continued with his story. "I kissed him to calm him down that one time, and Alex caught us. Logan looked scared. I guess they really are in love if Logan didn't want Alex to break up with him. I covered for him and… that's all. I tried to get these two to be nicer to him after that. He moved out though."

"Logan," Lucy turned to him, completely determined. "Your turn. Remember to tell the truth."

"Okay," Logan nodded. "I was out buying something for Kendall for our anniversary. I was about to buy this expensive hockey keychain. Alex worked there, and I saw him. I thought he was really hot, and he said he had more in the back. When we went back there, we ended up having sex. I broke up with Kendall after-"

"I said tell the truth," Lucy glared. "Start over. Don't lie."

"L-lie?" Logan glanced over to a very guilty looking Jo and Camille. "I didn't lie. Alex was just so attractive that I just lost all my senses and-"

"Lying won't help you," Lucy showed no signs of backing down.

"I'm not lying!" Logan screeched, standing up furiously. "Maybe I was just really horny and I needed Alex to-"

"Start over." Lucy raised her voice slightly. "Tell the truth."

"Me and Alex fucked in the back of the store," Logan sneered. "How is that lying? We all know it happened."

"But it didn't, did it?" Lucy took a step towards him. "Your faithful, Logan. If you got the urge, you would think about Kendall and say no. You would have the decency to break up with him first. You'd wait to give up your virginity instead of wasting it on some random guy."

"You don't know me as well as you think you do then," Logan's voice cracked in the middle.

"Lucy," Carlos interrupted. "Maybe you should-"

"No!" Lucy screamed, pointing at Logan. "Not until he tells the truth!"

"I am telling the truth!" Logan shouted back.

"Camille," James urgently screamed right when Kendall yelled out Jo in the same tone. Both girls flinched but did nothing.

"This is why we called her," Jo confessed. "Or why I called her. If Logan got worked up, we would stop and lay off. Lucy won't. She'll make him tell the truth which is what he needs."

"What are you lying about?" Carlos pleaded, seeing how stressed Logan was becoming.

"I'm not lying," Logan spat out. "She's just making stuff up."

"Am I?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.

"You are!"

"Tell the whole story then," Lucy placed her hands on her hips stubbornly. "Only the truth though. Don't leave anything out."

"Logan, what is she talking about?" Kendall pleaded. Logan held his ground, refusing to look at Kendall in the eye. Lucy knew better though. She knew Logan was cracking. If he looked into Kendall's eyes, he would tell him everything.

"Look Kendall in the eye," Lucy said through gritted teeth. "Tell him the story and I'll believe you no matter what you say."

Logan froze but nodded. He turned to Kendall and opened his mouth, prepared to say something along the lines of how he willingly submitted himself to Alex like he had done many times before. Yet one look in the pleading green eyes cracked him. Those were the eyes he fell in love with, was still in love with, and he just couldn't lie to them again. Not again.

Logan clenched his fists and finally admitted defeat. "I didn't want it!" he screamed through teary eyes. "Are you happy? Are you happy you finally got it out of me? I said no! I screamed it and screamed it over and over again, and he never stopped! H-he just kept going! Dammit, I said no!"

Alice: Yeah, I have a feeling you guys are going to kill me.

Emily: Well, I hope you guys liked the chapter!

Alice: Were any of you expecting Lucy to show up?

Emily: Tell us what you thought! Thanks for reading!
