Chapter Two
James P.O.V
James couldn't look back. Fear had taken over and no matter if Logan could follow him he was running away. He knew that running from his problems wasn't the best way to handle this, but he couldn't be in a class with his abusive x boyfriend. It just couldn't and wouldn't work. The blonde would be a distraction always looking at him ready to run or duck the blow. James rounded the corner and slipped into the office. A woman looked up. "Can I help you?"
"Uh m—maybe! I would like to switch maybe to a later time of AP history!"
"And your name is?" James glanced back behind him.
"James Maslow!" The woman started typing on the computer.
"Well there's a ten o'clock or a two o'clock."
"T—two o'clock will work for me! Which means I have Algebra two now right?" the woman nodded. James sighed. Carlos had that class right now and maybe he could cheer him up. Or maybe he should just leave now and try again tomorrow. Suddenly that option seemed better than staying. After all today was only the first day. "Th—thank you so much." James stammered leaving and running into Logan and Kendall.
Logan's P.O.V
As soon as he was thrown into Jet Logan jumped back up. "Come on Kendall we have to stop him!" Jet snickered. "And you shut the hell up or you'll have another black eye!" Logan snarled angrily pulling Kendall out of the classroom.
When James had finally after tons of coaxing told Logan just how much abuse he had taken Logan had lost it. When Jet had tried to talk to James Logan slammed his fist down on Jet's nose breaking it. He had almost completely beat him when the brunette had pulled Logan off of him. Jet had pressed charges, but Logan had threatened to tell the police all the abuse done to James and the charges were instantly dropped. He knew that James had nightmares every night about the blonde. He would every night come over to his and Carlos's house and sleep there.
Logan dragged Kendal through the halls flat out running now. The blonde didn't pull away, but instead picked up his speed to match Logan's. "Where do you think he would have gone?" he asked.
"I—I don't know! He could have went home or went to the office or anything! When he's scared James can be a bit unpredictable!" Logan rounded a corner and plowed right into the brunette. He stumbled back almost falling if it weren't for the hand that grabbed his wrist and pulled him upright. Logan looked into those hazel eyes still filled with fear. "Jamie." Logan said dropping Kendall's wrist and moving to give the boy a hug. "Are you all right?"
"No—I well I switched out of that class! I—I think well I think I'm gonna leave for today!" Logan nodded.
"Ok text me if you need me."
"And me!" a familiar voice said from behind them. Logan turned to see Carlos walking towards them.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well I was uh looking for my locker and saw James run off! Then I saw you and Kendal run by!" he walked over and wrapped his arms around James. "Jamie I won't let him hurt you!"
"Thanks Litos!" James said sighing. Logan sighed and moved back into the group hug. "I'll text you guys!" James promised and gently pulled away. "Oh and Kendall thanks too!"
Kendall's P.O.V
As the three friends hugged Kendall felt awkward and moved away trying to hide his arm twitching. He felt like he was intruding on their group so he stayed some distance away. He sighed silently wishing that he had friends like that. When he saw James look at him he couldn't help, but blush a little. He was cute with his hazel eyes. "Why are you thanking me?" Kendall asked quietly.
"Well you ded help right?"
"No I just well followed l—Logan right?" Logan nodded. "Yeah I just followed him!" James shook his head, but Kendall didn't agree so he turned and followed his footsteps back to his class.
The reason Kendall didn't agree with James was because he was dragged with Logan and he didn't (at first) want to follow him. That was Logan's friend not Kendall's. So he didn't agree with the thanks he received. Kendal didn't actually make many friends because of his Tourettes so it came as a surprise when they wanted him to be a part of something.
As he sat down again a voice spoke "So you're the new kid huh?" He looked over and saw Jet sitting beside him.
"Yeah!"
"Nice to meet you I'm Jet Stetson!"
"Kendall Schmidt!"
"Hey Jet leave him alone!" Logan said coming into the classroom. Jet looked up with such hate that Kendall thought if looks could kill Logan would have been dead.
"I'm not doing anything to him Henderson!"
"Don't lie to me! I know you remember?! Your planning something and I don't like it! Now move your in my seat!"
"No I'm not!" Logan shrugged.
"Oh well you deserve this anyway!" Logan pushed him to the floor.
"Hey there wasn't any need for that!" Kendall snapped before he could stop himself.
"Yeah there was! Listen Kendall Jet's bad news!" Kendall snorted. He seriously doubted that.
"Maybe you're the one that's bad news!" he hissed getting up and sitting beside jet. Logan gave him a look. "What!"
"Seriously Kendall you don't want to mess with him!"
"Mr. Henderson! Mr. Schmidt! Is there something you would like to share with the class?" The teacher asked. Kendall blushed scarlet.
"No sir!" he muttered looking down at the desk.
"Mr. Henderson sit down now!" Logan sat down and gave Kendall an angry look before facing front again.
"Now in this class I expect you to follow these rules!"
"Hey Kendall thanks." Jet whispered.
"I couldn't let Logan hurt you like that!" Kendall whispered back grining slightly.
James P.O.V
At his house James went upstairs and took a nice relaxing shower. He wouldn't let fears about Jet come into his mind as the warm water worked it's way into his tense muscles. Distantly he heard his phone chime signaling that he had a text. He sighed and rubbed his hands through his wet hair. Jet had ruined his first class for him and he had been looking forward to that class. Oh well at least he still had it. He sighed and felt more relaxed. He liked to relax and not have to worry so much.
When James was dressed he went back into his room and picked up his phone. He had a text from Logan
Hey Jamie we have a problem Logan
What's wrong James
I think Kendall is slowly becoming friends with Jet! Logan
Why what makes you say that? James
Well when I got there Jet was talking to Kendall! Logan
Go on! James
Well I told him not to mess with Kendall and told him to move! Logan
Ok! James
He wouldn't so I pushed him off the chair! Logan
LOL! LOL! That's funny! James
Yeah well Kendall snapped at me! Told me there wasn't any need for it! Logan
Oh boy! James
It gets worse! So I told him that Jet was bad news and he told me that maybe I was bad news! Logan
He what?! No! This is bad! James
Yeah! Then he went and sat with Jet! Logan James screamed in fear and anger before replying.
You know Jet has a plan forming in his sick mind! James
I know! I know! What can we do? Logan
I know what we can do! We can get him over to my house! James
Okay and then what?
I—I tell him what Jet has done to me! James
Good! I mean you could never lie about abuse like that!
Exactly! Tell Carlos! Then meet me at my house! James
How will we get Kendall! Logan
I'll tell him I need to talk! That ought to work! James
Ok see you soon Jame! Logan
Yeah bye Logie! James James dropped his phone before sighing "I can't believe that that cute boy is hanging out with—with him!" He groaned inwardly. "I only hope this works!"
