AN: Hiya people! Wow. I haven't updated for a LONG time. JK! It's only been like 3 weeks you fic-addicts! Okay. I will admit, 3 weeks is a long time…I'm sorry! I hope you all like this chapter.

Carlos looked at a smiling Kendall and furrowed his brow. "What's with you today?" He asked the blonde, nudging him slightly. It was a Saturday and they were playing a little street hockey before Carlos' mother called them in for dinner.

"Nothing. " Kendall nudged back, rounding Carlos and stealing the puck from the distracted boy.

The Latino suddenly stopped, not bothering in the fight to get the puck back. "Nothing? Then how come you're smiling like an idiot?"

Kendall stopped. That was a great question. He was doing just that, smiling like an idiot, and it was odd. Kendall smiled yeah but, not unless he'd just pulled a prank on someone or just finished with a girl in the utilities closest. Before Carlos asked his daunting little question what was he thinking about?

Logan.

Kendall's eyes widened. Logan? Why was he thinking about Logan? He was supposed to stay away from Logan, not like he'd listen to James anyway, but still. He really didn't want much to do with James' little brother, especially if it was going to cause problems.

At first he was hesitant in telling Carlos but, he was his best friend, he couldn't lie.

"…Carlos? I—Well I've got a situation." He tried to explain.

Carlos was clearly confused. "Oh yeah? What kind?"

"It's about- Uhm…Logan." Kendall blushed even at the name. What the hell?

"Whaa? What did he do?" The Latino looked scared. "Kendall, he's nice. You—don't do something-Please? He's my friend."

Though Kendall wasn't known as a bully he did stick up for himself and when someone wronged him he got even. Apparently that's what his shorter friend thought he was talking about; that Logan, in the week he's lived there, had somehow gone and pissed off Kendall. Wrong. He'd done nothing. Except be the most beautiful freshman he'd ever laid eyes on. Even the mention of Logan, or anything involving him, made the blondes heart pick up it's pace.

"Calm down Carlitos." Kendall laughed. "It's-Never mind. Let's go inside now. I'm hungry." He started to walk away, hoping his best friend would follow, when Carlos didn't, he stopped, back to his friend.

"What?" He asked.

"Please Kendall. D-don't hurt him. I don't care what he did, he doesn't deserve it." Kendall admired the clear desperation in Carlos' voice; he really cared for Logan.

The tall blonde started walking towards the house again, deciding not to wait for Carlos.

"I'd never dream of it." He whispered.

When Carlos finally caught up to him, inside the house he received a horrified look from his friend. "You like Logan?"

Through Kendall's silence Carlos received his answer. He started at Kendall incredulously. "No no no no no. Kendall—No."

Kendall turned to his friend, unbelieving. "And why the hell not?"

"Because—because he's…" Carlos searched his mind for a reason.

"Waiting Carlos."

"Because he's Logan. The-cute freshman, the deaf freshman, mind you. With a scary brother! You really wanna go up against that?"

Kendall shrugged. "I dunno. He's cute. Sides, I ain't scared of James."

Carlos grabbed at his hair in frustration. Kendall was a pig, everyone knew that. James knew that. "Yeah well, he's not scared of you either and—and if you hurt Logan—Oh my God. He will kill you."

"Hell, if you hurt Logan…I don't think I'd be able to forgive you."

Kendall looked at his friend. "Guess he has that effect on a lot of people."

"Seriously Ken. Just—leave it alone. Just because you think he's cute doesn't mean you need to—fuck him or whatever! Just…Just leave Logan out of it. He's got enough to deal with as it is."

Carlos couldn't believe his friend. It was a well known fact that he was a complete and utter whore. At first it was just the girls of the school, then, when Kendall came out, it was the dudes too. Kendall can get anyone. He's popular but, not well liked. People, unless they want a good time, usually stay away from Kendall. He's an ass-hole if you ever saw one. That must be why James is so hesitant to let Logan interact with him. James and Kendall seemed fine on James' first day of school and then, they weren't. Sometimes Carlos wonders why even he's friends with Kendall.

"Hey, Carlos. That hurts my feelings. I'm not going after him just because he's cute. And…While I'm sure his fucking is quite…suitable to my tastes, I really do think I like him."

"Jesus Kendall! I can't believe this shit! Out of all the people you have to choose-You choose- Get out! " Kendall is confused.

"What? Seriously Carlos? What did I do?" Kendall tries to shove off Carlos' pushing hands, with one good shove Carlos falls to the ground, pissed and…Crying?

"You know what! Fuck you Kendall! You always get the girl—or guy-Whatever! Why can't I ever win! What's so fucking special about you!" Tears of frustration, jealously and anger cascade down the Latino's face. The blonde just stares in shock for a moment at his crying friend before getting on his knees to comfort him.

"Y-you like…You like Logan?" He asks softly.

Carlos sniffles before nodding. "Doesn't matter though, he'll choose you."

James and Logan were sitting quietly at the dinner table waiting for their chef to bring out the food. James looked across the table at his smaller, younger brother. 'You okay?' He signed.

Logan though, didn't see the sign. He was lost somewhere in his own head, thinking about none other than Kendall. He didn't know Kendall, and James says he's bad news but, there's just something about him. He's got this face, it's so…mesmerizing. It brings butterflies to his stomach. Logan wishes he could see Kendall again, kiss him maybe, feel the vibrations of Kendall's voice under his touch. He wants so much to be with Kendall. Logan's confused though, is this what love feels like? He hasn't gotten a chance to experience anything like crushes or…Lovers. Granted he's only fourteen but he wishes people weren't so mean to him, that maybe, maybe if they weren't, he would have loved someone back home too.

Suddenly there's a bang on the table, he can feel it. He looks up, meeting James' worried eyes. 'You okay?' His older brother asks.

Logan doesn't respond. He doesn't quite know how to. He's scared. Scared because he knows he can't act on his new-found feelings for Kendall; Kendall would shoot him down within a second and Logan knows he wouldn't be able to take that. He's frustrated. Frustrated because James clearly hates the blonde and really, all Logan wants to do is enjoy their company. And finally, Logan's confused. Confused because, as stated earlier, James hates Kendall, and Logan has no clue why.

Logan smiles at James.

He loves James. James always makes him feel safe, and wanted. Logan's whole life has been about what he doesn't have; the ability to hear. His mother, father and classmates all think that just because he can't hear; that he can't feel their disappointment, abandonment and hatred. His brother is the only one that accepts him for who he is. If it weren't for James, Logan…He wouldn't be here.

'I'm okay.' He signed after a few moments.

James didn't seem convinced. Logan wasn't a very good liar. 'Promise?'

Logan smiled a wide, toothy smile. 'Promise.'

'You know I don't believe you.'

Logan sighed. 'Yeah, I do.'
