Alice: Enjoy!

Day 15

Kendall stomped loudly down the hallway, repeating to himself over and over again that he would not hurt Alex unless required. But that would be hard. Each step he took closer to the apartment added so much rage in his body. His hands were clenched, fingernails digging into his palms. A dark, hating look was in his green eyes that was never there before. He wouldn't hurt Alex unless he absolutely needed to. He wouldn't hurt Alex unless he absolutely needed to. Eyes blazing with fury, he reached the apartment and growled to himself. Raising a trembling hand, he knocked softly on the door that instantly burst open.

Alex stood there, eyes fuming with anger as well. His body was tense as he opened his mouth to scream only to visibly calm down when he saw it was Kendall. Dropping the anger demeanor, he offered him a polite smile. "Kendall," he said pleasantly. "I thought you were Logan."

Kendall frowned. So that anger was only directed at Logan? How had he missed that before? His mind flashed back to what Carlos said when Logan and Alex made out. Do you think it hurt? Being thrown against that wall…

Realization dawned on Kendall in that exact moment. Alex was forcing himself on his boyfriend in front of him, and he did nothing to stop it! A whole new fleet of anger washed over him as he tried to suppress it. He gave Alex a very tight smile. "Yeah, a friend of ours, Lucy, stopped by to visit. He went to see her, and he ended up falling asleep at our place. Sorry about that. We wanted to call you but we didn't have your number."

"Oh," Alex didn't bother hiding his annoyance. "I was a little worried."

"Well you shouldn't be," Kendall grinned, practically barging into the apartment. Alex raised an eyebrow but ignored it and shut the door behind him. "I'm glad he came by. We all made up. Best of friends now."

The look on Alex's face was just priceless. "Really?"

"Really," Kendall bragged. Looking over the apartment, he frowned in distaste. The gray walls and tan carpet was just so… boring. Noticing a door down the hall, he walked over while ignoring Alex's protests. He entered the room and smirked. Jackpot. It was clearly Logan's room due to the organized books and clothes. Alex followed him, saying he should leave as Kendall walked around and grabbed anything Logan would want to bring back to the crib.

"What are you doing?" Alex glared at him.

Kendall smirked. "We're all getting along so well now that he's decided to move back in."

"Well why isn't he coming to get his stuff? Why couldn't he tell me?" Alex challenged.

"He's dumping you." The tone of Kendall's voice reminded him of when he "dumped" Mercedes for Logan. He was so consumed by jealousy at the thought of her forcing Logan to be her boyfriend at the time. Funny how he didn't even realize he loved Logan even with those feelings. Alex's mouth dropped open as Kendall reached towards the nightstand and noticed a ring.

A small gold ring that Kendall got him on his birthday.

Kendall smiled softly at the sight, forgetting about the angered boy behind him. Logan kept it, even after all this time? Heck, before they broke up, Kendall didn't know he still had it. "Why can't the Logan break up with me himself?" Alex's words broke through his trance. Kendall frowned.

"He says you have anger issues," Kendall retorted coldly. He put the ring in his pocket and walked over to grab some other pieces of clothing and textbooks.

Alex snarled, all of his civil pretense disappearing in a millisecond. "That little slut," he growled.

Kendall tensed for a second before continuing to pick up some of Logan's belongings. "Don't call him that."

Alex smirked. He now had the upper hand. "He begged me, you know. Told me to stop and stop. Kept saying he was a virgin. He was such a good fuck that I kept him. He needed to learn some discipline though."

Kendall gritted his teeth together. "Shut up."

"He stopped fighting after a while," Alex took a step closer, sneering. "Eventually just started to lay there and cry. And guess what I'd do then?"

"I swear if you don't stop talking," Kendall whirled around, a dangerous look in his eyes. Alex didn't seem to get the message.

"I'd make him enjoy it," Alex cackled. "When he fought, I would make it painful for him. For a while he kept fighting. If he wasn't responding, I would make sure to touch him in all the right places. Hit his prostate every time so that way he had to feel pleasure. That's when I stopped."

Kendall took a menacing step towards him. Alex seemed too caught up in his own fantasy to notice.

"The look on his face," Alex laughed. "I'd ask him if he wanted more. I would make sure he couldn't release. It took a while but eventually I made him beg. To think! He begged for me to let him come. Just like the slut he is-"

Whatever Alex was going to say next, he never got the chance. Kendall raised his fist and slammed it into Alex's face. He flew back, hitting the ground with a gasp. Kendall threw himself on top of him and hit him over and over. "Does it feel good?" Kendall hissed. "Getting the shit kicked out of you? This is how Logan felt! This is what you were doing to him!"

After a few more punches, Kendall slowly stood up, breathing heavily. He stared down at Alex, who now had a bloody and most likely broken nose. "Go near Logan again, and I will personally make your life a living Hell."

With that, Kendall stormed out of the apartment with Logan's things in his arms.

Logan flinched as Jennifer began fixing up some of his injuries. Carlos had insisted he tell Mama Knight about what happened, and Logan caved in. The puppy dog eyes of Carlos still had the effect on him. Besides he owed Carlos. After learning about Carlos being manipulated by Alex, Logan felt guilty for letting that happen. It was why he wouldn't let Carlos "stalk" Alex. He didn't want any of his friends getting hurt.

"Oh my word," Jennifer whispered sadly when Logan first reluctantly took off his shirt. He forced Carlos and Katie to leave. He didn't want anyone seeing the scars or bruises. And even occasionally the bite marks. Carlos informed him Kendall was on a mission this morning, so Logan assumed he wouldn't be back for a while.

As for James, Logan betted that he needed to cool off some steam.

Logan cringed again. Mama Knight winced sympathetically. "Sorry. It would be easier if we went to a hospital."

"No," Logan shook his head, eyes growing wide with panic. "They'll… just believe me when I say we shouldn't go."

He didn't know if they would do a rape test on him. And he didn't want that. True, there was a rule about confidentiality, but adults were allowed to break it if a minor was either hurting themselves or if someone else was hurting him. Logan's situation applied to the latter. And he didn't want Mama Knight or his parents to know the exact extent of his injuries.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she whispered softly, finishing up the last bandage. "You used to always come to me for advice."

He grimaced. "I thought you hated me. I thought everyone did because I broke Kendall's heart."

"Oh honey," she wrapped her arms around him. "You're like a son to me. I could never hate you."

Strangely he didn't flinch at the contact like he did with Katie and even Carlos. It was like with Kendall. Speaking of him, he decided to use that exact moment to walk into the room with a pile of Logan's things. Mama Knight smiled while Logan jumped in surprise. "Are those my things?" Logan whispered.

"Yeah," Kendall grinned. "I went to go get them."

Logan gaped at him. In a matter of seconds, he was off of the couch and running over to Kendall, looking at him through and through. "Are you alright? Did he do anything? What did he say? Kendall, you shouldn't have gone without-"

"Logan," Kendall calmed him down. "I'm alright. Heck, I think he's the one that's hurt right now. He didn't do anything besides act like a jerk. He said… he said nothing. And I went alone because I don't want you near him."

Jennifer watched with a tiny smile at her son and his ex-boyfriend's interactions. Logan seemed relieved enough. "Logan," Jennifer spoke up. The boys turned to her. She bit her lip slightly. While patching up his injuries, the idea had come to her mind. She just didn't know when the right time was to voice it. With Kendall in the room, she guessed now was a good time. "Have you thought about going to a therapist?"

Logan's eyes bugged out. "W-what? Why would I need to? I'm fine!"

"Usually abusive relationships can cause a lot of mental trauma," Jennifer phrased her words carefully.

"I don't need to see one," Logan insisted. Kendall appeared hesitant. His eyes met his mother's and both silently agreed that they would have to bring it up later. For now, they shouldn't pressure Logan into anything he didn't want to do.

Kelly watched as Gustavo screamed in frustration, unable to figure out how to write the next song. She offered many suggestions, but Gustavo's worry for Logan and the boys was just too big to forget. "Maybe we should just-" Kelly began only to be interrupted by her phone. Blinking, she saw it was Miss Knight. She quickly answered it and put it on speakerphone.

"Jennifer," Kelly answered. Gustavo eagerly rushed to her side, wanting to listen.

"Kelly," Jennifer sounded very stressed. "Is Gustavo there with you?"

"Yes?" Kelly frowned. "It's on speaker."

"Good," Jennifer sighed. "I figured out what's going on with Logan. And I don't think you'll be happy about it."

Kelly and Gustavo were silent as they listened to Jennifer's tale. Slowly their eyes grew wide. Kelly had a look of pure horror and guilt while Gustavo's face reddened with anger and protectiveness.

Nobody hurt his boys. Nobody.

Alice: Sorry if it's a little short. The next chapter will be a lot longer.
