"Alright, seize the day at school and endeavor to acquire knowledge. I'm specifically referring to you, James," Logan remarks.
"Simply because you're remaining at home doesn't necessitate adopting a parental role," James retorts, clearly irritated.
Logan simply exhales deeply, rolling his eyes as he observes Kendall, James, Carlos, and Katie depart for school.
In the classroom downstairs...
"Where's Logan? Why didn't he enter with you all?" Camille inquires.
"He's not quite prepared to resume school yet. He's uneasy about being seen with his arm in a sling. He's apprehensive about potential ridicule," Kendall explains.
"But Jett isn't present," Camille points out.
"Doesn't make a difference. There are still plenty of unkind children in this classroom. Jett was simply the most severe," Kendall remarks. "Please refrain from worrying about Logan throughout the day. You know he wouldn't want that."
"Understood. I'll do my utmost," Camille responds.
Later that afternoon at Rocque Records...
"This idea is definitely not going to work," Kendall remarks.
"You promised Logan you'd give it a shot," James reminds him.
"I remember what I said," Kendall replies.
"So why the doubt?" Carlos questions.
"Griffin can be a real pain, and I don't want to get my hopes up only to be let down," Kendall explains.
"What are you guys doing here?" Kelly interrupts. "Gustavo isn't around."
"Perfect," Kendall responds.
"Perfect?" Kelly raises an eyebrow.
"We're relieved it's just you, Kelly. You're easier to talk to than Gustavo. We have a plan to cheer Logan up after his injury, but we need to use Griffin's private beach house for it to work," Kendall explains.
"When do you need it?" Kelly inquires.
"By the weekend. We know a peaceful setting will help Logan's recovery," Kendall says.
"Griffin agreeing to this is unlikely," Kelly warns.
"Is there any chance we can persuade him to consider it? To put his ego aside and think about his employees?" Kendall asks.
"He's too focused on himself and his power to care about others. Money is all that matters to him," Kelly responds.
"I know, but we have to do this for Logan," Kendall insists.
Griffin enters the room. "Good day, everyone. What is the reason behind this sudden meeting?"
"The boys have something crucial to discuss with you," Kelly explains.
"As you are aware, Logan suffered a significant injury due to an unfortunate incident that was not his fault, leading to his hospitalization for a few days. Since his return home, his mental well-being has been affected, and we are concerned about him. Therefore, we are seeking your permission to utilize your private beach house this weekend to aid in his relaxation and recovery," Kendall elaborates.
"Is this the urgent matter at hand? I was under a different impression," Griffin remarks.
"This is indeed urgent. Logan holds great significance to James, Carlos, and myself, as he is more than just a bandmate; he is like a brother to us. While the four of us may be valuable to you in terms of profitability, it is crucial to remember that we are still teenagers dealing with typical teenage issues. I urge you to set aside any ego and assist us in this matter," Kendall asserts confidently.
Griffin pauses, taking a moment to contemplate before responding.
"Why is he hesitating? Could we be in trouble?" Carlos whispers.
"I am uncertain. It could be either positive or negative," James whispers back.
"Silence, both of you! You might worsen the situation," Kendall whispers harshly.
"Very well, boys. I have reached a decision. You may utilize my beach house. You are correct in stating that you are more than mere sources of income to me. You are adolescents with genuine emotions," Griffin concedes.
"What's the catch?" Kendall inquires.
"There is no catch. I am genuinely concerned for Logan," Griffin reassures.
"Griffin, thank you for your exceptional generosity. It truly caught me off guard." Kendall expresses.
"What's the reason behind this? What's happening here?" Gustavo inquires as he enters the room.
"The boys sought my assistance, and I graciously provided it to them." Griffin explains.
"What mischief did you troublemakers get into? What sort of teenage antics did you employ?" Gustavo questions.
"What do you mean by teenage antics? We're simply trying to aid Logan, and we're not troublemakers. We're just worried about our brother. We owe no explanations to you. You're just going to scold us. It's your specialty." Carlos retorts, prepared to depart.
"Carlos seems quite upset. That's not ideal. He's brave enough to speak to you in that manner and express his emotions openly. You won't receive any peaceful responses from him as you usually do." James remarks.
"Let's try to calm him down. Come on, let's go grab some frozen yogurt." Kendall suggests, and they all exit.
"Kelly, what was all that commotion about?" Gustavo inquires.
"They would have informed you if you hadn't insulted them by calling them troublemakers and accusing them of misdeeds." Kelly explains.
"Is this truly so significant to them?" Gustavo wonders.
"Absolutely. If you don't want them to be angry with you for the rest of the week, you need to rectify your error." Kelly advises.
"They are truly remarkable boys, Gustavo. I shouldn't overlook that. I should cherish it." Griffin reflects.
