Chapter Text

Kendall grabbed the bowl of popcorn from the kitchen counter as he walked to the couch, where Carlos sat waiting, bouncing his legs in excitement.

“Yo Logan hurry up! It’s starting soon!” Carlos called to the boy who should have been already sitting next to him.

“I’m coming, I’m coming, calm down,” came the reply as Logan appeared from around the corner.

Kendall placed the bowl on the coffee table as he took his place on the couch and asked what the holdup was.

Logan sat next to him, stealing a handful of popcorn, and replied, “I just didn’t want to be here.”

Carlos glared at him a moment before turning his attention back to the TV.

“Hey where’s James?” Logan asked, turning to Kendall.

Kendall shrugged.

“If we have to suffer through this than so does he,” Logan mumbled, mainly to himself, but loud enough that Kendall could hear.

As if on cue, James barged into 2J, a large poster in his hand and look of sadness mixed with anger on his face.

“Lucy went on a tour of Asia,” he squeaked out, holding up the poster announcing the tour, “for 4 months.”

“Well, she is a musician. It’s part of her job to go on tours.” Logan was not in the mood to deal with his friend’s weird obsession with their other friend.

James glared at Logan before dramatically throwing the poster on the dining table. He set his mouth in a pout and stomped over to the couch, flicking Logan in the head as he passed him.

“Besides, why are you so upset about this now? You knew Lucy was leaving. She specifically sat you down and told you this months ago.” Kendall questioned.

James opened his mouth to reply, no doubt something about how he ‘was too entranced by her beauty to listen to what she was actually saying’ or something stupid like that, but was prevented from doing so by Carlos.

“Shut up! James can deal with his heartbreak later. It’s showtime!”
