Y'all really, really liked the last chapter. Fourteen reviews? That's the most I've ever gotten. Thanks! I mean it. That's the most I've ever had and for a chapter I really didn't like when I finished it. I felt the ending was too abrupt, but y'all didn't think so. I wish I could convey my feelings of gratitude but can't. So, please, take these imaginary Nutella sandwiches as a token of solidarity. I LOVE ALL OF YOU.
Now, back to what I wanna tell y'all. Normally, as you've seen with each chapter it's more than a few days, most of the time, a week. The last chapter was only in the span of three days. This one is only one day. I could have written more but I felt like it would have ruined the end of this chapter if I did. So here y'all go. New chapter. Sorry that it's shorter than usual. Like I said, if I wrote more it wouldn't have done this chapter justice with changing the end.

(Mon. 9:51 a.m.)
Gess wut?
(Mon. 9:56 a.m.)
If we ever meet I would slap you in your face with a dictionary because of your grammar skills?
(Mon. 9:59 a.m.)
No
(Mon. 10:02 a.m.)
Dammit. I thought that was the right answer.
(Mon. 10:05 a.m.)
We're twinzies!
(Mon. 10:09 a.m.)
I'm scared to ask how and why we're twinzies. Including all the times you've wanted to have some sort of near sexual contact with me while we've been texting, I fear you have this incestuous kink with what you just told me.
(Mon. 10:11 a.m.)
Wut
(Mon. 10:12 a.m.)
No
(Mon. 10:13 a.m.)
Stop ruining da joke!
(Mon. 10:15 a.m.)
Never, Kendall. Never.
(Mon. 10:17 a.m.)
:(
(Mon. 10:18 a.m.)
No more flowers 4 u.
(Mon. 10:21 a.m.)
I'm alright with that. The ones you got me two weeks ago are finally startling to wilt. When my mom comes home from work she's throwing them out.
(Mon. 10:23 a.m.)
NO
(Mon. 10:24 a.m.)
KEEP THEM
(Mon. 10:26 a.m.)
I really don't want to. They're starting to make my room smell.
(Mon. 10:28 a.m.)
Good
(Mon. 10:29 a.m.)
Think of me when u smell yr flowers
(Mon. 10:32 a.m.)
So you want me to connect you with the smell of decaying flowers? I don't think that's a good idea. When and if we ever meet I'd get an overwhelming smell that most likely makes me want to barf. That would not be a good way to start off our physical interactions.
(Mon. 10:34 a.m.)
Fine
(Mon. 10:35 a.m.)
Meanie
(Mon. 10:36 a.m.)
Throw away all da flowers I got ya.
(Mon. 10:38 a.m.)
I intend too. Now, why are we twinzies? You failed to explain that.
(Mon. 10:40 a.m.)
Oh
(Mon. 10:41 a.m.)
RITE
(Mon. 10:42 a.m.)
I member now!
(Mon. 10:43 a.m.)
We're twinzies logie!
(Mon. 10:46 a.m.)
You said that already. I would like to know why.
(Mon. 10:48 a.m.)
Cause I'm home alone!
(Mon. 10:49 a.m.)
Like dat little kid who's family left him when dey went on vacation b4 christmas.
(Mon. 10:50 a.m.)
Wut was dat movie again?
(Mon. 10:52 a.m.)
Home Alone.
(Mon. 10:54 a.m.)
...rite.
(Mon. 10:56 a.m.)
Why are you home?
(Mon. 10:58 a.m.)
Sick.
(Mon. 10:59 a.m.)
Flu's been going around at Katies school.
(Mon. 11:00 a.m.)
She didn get sick but gave me all her germ cooties.
(Mon. 11:03 a.m.)
I don't think anyone our age says cooties anymore. I'd feel like they would say STD's instead of cooties at our age. Is that what you mean, Kendall? Do you have an STD?
(Mon. 11:05 a.m.)
NO!
(Mon. 11:06 a.m.)
Wrap it before u tap it!
(Mon. 11:07 a.m.)
Dat's what I always say.
(Mon. 11:09 a.m.)
I doubt you really say that.
(Mon. 11:11 a.m.)
Great sex iz safe sex!
(Mon. 11:13 a.m.)
Stop being so crude.
(Mon. 11:15 a.m.)
Never Logie. NEVER.
(Mon. 11:16 a.m.)
SMASH N DASH.
(Mon. 11:18 a.m.)
That sounds painful. The only one I know is "Hit it and quit it." James does that a lot.
(Mon. 11:20 a.m.)
GASP
(Mon. 11:21 a.m.)
Does he…
(Mon. 11:22 a.m.)
You know…
(Mon. 11:23 a.m.)
Have cooties?
(Mon. 11:25 a.m.)
No, Kendall, he does not. He wraps it before he taps it.
(Mon. 11:27 a.m.)
I taught u dat!
(Mon. 11:29 a.m.)
A few minutes ago, yes.
(Mon. 11:31 a.m.)
I'm such a bad influence.
(Mon. 11:33 a.m.)
No one is perfect Kendall.
(Mon. 11:35 a.m.)
U r
(Mon. 11:37 a.m.)
Hardly.
(Mon. 11:38 a.m.)
I've had alcohol while underage. I think that means I'm as imperfect as anyone else.
(Mon. 11:41 a.m.)
U try though.
(Mon. 11:43 a.m.)
I do?
(Mon. 11:46 a.m.)
Even after all da bad stuff dats happened 2 u these past months
(Mon. 11:48 a.m.)
U try
(Mon. 11:49 a.m.)
U didn't give up.
(Mon. 11:50 a.m.)
In my eyes logie
(Mon. 11:51 a.m.)
Yr perfect.
…
(Mon. 12:02 a.m.)
Logan?
…
(Mon. 12:13 a.m.)
Sorry.
(Mon. 12:14 a.m.)
I didn't know I needed to hear that. Thank you, Kendall.
(Mon. 12:16 a.m.)
Logie
(Mon. 12:17 a.m.)
Wut are friends 4?
(Incoming call.)
…
(Click!)
"Hello?"
"Oh thank god, Logan!"
"Carlos, is that you? What's wrong?"
"It's Kendall!"
…
"Send me your address. I'm on the way."
"What? Oh-no! No- it's alight! He's alright!"
"Don't scare me like that! I thought he was worse!"
"He told you he was sick?"
"Yeah, earlier today, he texted me saying that we were 'twinzies' because we were both stuck at home."
"Oh, ok. How would you have gotten over here? You're pretty much stuck in your bed."
"I've been going to Physical Therapy for over two weeks now. I'm getting better. Need less medication and can walk more than I could than when I got released."
"You should probably tell Kendall that. He's been worrying about you on that front. He says he doesn't want to ask you about how you're getting better cause it's personal."
"He can ask me. I'd tell him what was going on."
"I know that. You know that. But Kendall gets all weird when it comes to you. That's why I'm calling you!"
"He's acting weird?"
"Annoying and weird."
"Have you been taking care of him since you got out of school?"
"Yes! And he's driving me insane! It's like he's a five year old!"
"He does text like one."
"Yeah, anyways the reason I was calling was because I was hoping you could distract him long enough for me to leave and go home."
"You're at his house? It's nearly midnight."
"That's why I wanted you to distract him! I'm tired and hungry! And Katie came into his room like ten minutes ago and threw a hockey puck at my face and told us to be quiet. She almost hit me."
"No one would like to be kept up so late at night at her age."
"Yeah, so I'm hoping you could distract him with you flirting with him so I can get home, eat a corn dog, and go to bed."
"I don't flirt. He does."
"I've gone through his phone. I know you flirt."
"I don't know how to flirt!"
"Then you do it by accident."
"… I guess."
"It's alright. When you text him you make him smile and stuff. Just don't break my best friend's heart or I'll break you."
"I don't plan to because he isn't even gay."
"Sure he isn't. I'll go get you Kendall now. Distract him long enough so I can run out of his house and stop him from nagging me."
"Fine."
…
"Kendall!"
"There you are! Where's my smoothie?"
"I told you I wasn't making you a smoothie! The last time I tried I painted your kitchen walls pink!"
"That's because you forgot to put the top on!"
"Yeah, here, catch!"
"Ah! Don't throw my house phone at me!"
"I'll be right back!"
"I still want my smoothie!"
"Kendall?"
…
"Phone, are you talking to me?"
"Ha, no Kendall. There's a person on the phone."
"Phone? Is there a tiny person trapped in you?"
"I actually hoped that you were smarter than this. I was wrong."
"Why are you insulting me, phone? I've done nothing but be nice to you. I dusted you, I changed your batteries, and this is how you repay me? With insults?"
"Oh god, Kendall. It's me, Logan."
"Logie!"
"Are you alright?"
"I think so. My mom gave me a lot of cold medicine when she got home. Then Carlos gave me some when he came over. Then Katie gave me some when Carlos was in the bathroom. Then my mom gave me some more before she went to sleep."
"Too much can be bad for you. Was it the liquid kind?
"Yeah!"
"Oh, oh no."
"What? Am I going to die Logie? I don't wanna to die."
"You're not going to die, but I think you might be a little drunk right now."
"What? They put beer in cold medicine?"
"No, not beer. Alcohol. Not enough for anyone to actually become drunk, but enough for you to get tipsy. How much did you have?
"Today? Like… one… two… three- three bottles!"
"Why did you let them give you three bottles worth of cold medicine?"
"I was really tired after we were texting this morning and took a super long nap. My mom came home early and gave me cold medicine-"
"Then Carlos, then Katie, and your mom again."
"…yeah!"
"Oh, Kendall. This was not how I had planned our first real conversation over the phone would be like."
"We've had conversations! Like you giving me a Nutella sandwich! We talked bout that!"
"I was just making sure my friend wouldn't go hungry. That was all, and that was by text, not voice to voice"
"Sure, sure. What ya doin right now?"
"Lying in bed watching Star Trek."
"The reboot?"
"Yes."
"Yay! Reboot's awesome! But… I didn't like that they left Bones out of the movie so much."
"I know what you mean. The originals movies and shows were more of a trifecta. The reboots are more of a partnership."
"Yeah! Bones is like barely in it at all."
"And they made Jim Kirk a womanizer in the reboots. He wasn't one in the originals."
"He was a little."
"Not so much."
"I wanna punch the director in the face."
"You're tipsy Kendall. I think you want to punch everyone in the face."
"Nu-uh! I don't wanna punch yours."
"That's sweet of you. I fear if you did there would be a lot of scrutiny. A somewhat drunk hockey player punching a disabled kid. Not a good way to start out a career in hockey."
"How'd ya know I wanna be a professional hockey player? Gasp! Are you psychic? Are you catwomen?"
"Did you really just say gasp instead of actually gasping?"
"Sshh. Answer the question."
"No, I'm not psychic. Carlos told me you've wanted to be a professional hockey player since you were a kid."
"Oh, yeah. Y'all hung out. No fair."
"You said y'all. No one up north says y'all."
"You've rubbed off on me Logie."
"I've noticed. So have you."
"How?"
"Since I met you I now have two new friends."
"That's just life Logie."
"No, that was all you."
"Pscht, making me blush over here."
"I bet that would be quite a sight to see."
"Logie?"
"Yes, Kendall?"
"I'm tired."
"Then go to sleep."
"I don't wanna."
"And why not?"
"Cause we're finally talking. We never talked on the phone before."
"We've texted."
"S'not the same."
"Why not?"
"Cause I never got to hear your voice."
"And what about now?"
"I like it. I like your voice. You sound nice. And smart. And weird."
"You've told me all this before."
"Sshh, Logie. I bet your face is all cute n' stuff. Seen you on facebook. You look cute."
"I think the cold medicine is still getting to you."
"Nu… uh."
"You sound tired. Go to sleep."
"Don't… wanna."
"Please, Kendall. For me?"
"Don't say tha'."
Why?"
"Cause I'd do it."
"Please, go to sleep?"
"M… 'aight."
"Good night, Kendall."
"N… night Logie."
…
…
"Ha, you're such an idiot. You didn't hang up."
…
…
...
"Thank you, Kendall. For everything."
