So so sorry it took long AGAIN to get this to ya. I had it half done then it was exam week. Blah! Anyways, enjoy! And hopefully I'll get a new chapter up soon! But only if I get a review :)
"You're the one who ran past us!"
"I didn't ask for the company!"
"It was my day! You did it on purpose! You're supposed to be scared of girls!"
"Says who?" retorted Logan.
"The book of LIFE!" James scowled.
"Really? I've never read it."
"Well then read it. Check out page 72, paragraph 3. It says: QUIT INTERRUPTING AND TRYING TO TAKE MY GIRL ON MY DAY!"
Logan huffed, "I didn't do anything wrong!"
"YOU TOOK MY MANSPRAY TOO!" James yelled.
"WELL, YOU THREW ME INTO THE POOL!" Logan held out his arms, looking down at himself. He was soaked head to toe.
"Did not!" James turned his face away. "I shoved you, there's a difference."
"E-NUFF! I can't even hear myself think." Kendall Knight growled, also heaving a huge sigh. "What am I supposed to do with you guys? You both obviously can't control yourselves."
"You can let me have Aimee," James said.
Logan rolled his eyes. "You always get the girl."
"No, I don't. You have Camille, why don't you let me have Aimee?"
At hearing Camille's name, Logan's chest tightened with old memories. He didn't reply.
Kendall, seeing Logan's face gave James a swift kick to the shin. "James, you can't have Aimee; and neither can Logan. You both have to stop. Logan, what you did was low. You shouldn't have tried to get AJ on James' agreed day. James, you shouldn't have shoved Logan into the pool." A hint of a snicker and a smile played on the edge of his lips seeing Logan's current state of disarray.
James looked at the dripping wet Logan and smirked. "He deserved it. Girl-stealer."
Logan took off his wet polo and whipped it at James. "She was never yours to begin with so she can't be stolen from you. HA!"
Taking the shirt off his face, James wiped the pool-water off him. He then tackled Logan to the ground, and began pulling at Logan's hair. "Shut up, Mitchell! She will be mine! OW! STOP BITING ME!" James screeched as Logan found a hold of James' hand and bit it.
Carlos and Kendall rushed to pull James off Logan, the both of them squirming.
"Guys, guys; stop!" Carlos yelled.
"Ok, that is IT." Kendall looked at them both. "James, you're grounded from Aimee the rest of the day for shoving Logan into the pool with his phone still in his pocket."
Logan smiled in success as James began to whine. "Ha!"
"Oh, I haven't even gotten to you yet, Logan. For you: You're grounded tomorrow for pulling that stunt, jumping in on James' day. You both agreed on the coin toss."
"But-"
"No buts about it. I thought you'd be better than this, Logan. I'd expect it from James- no offense."
"None taken, I'd expect it from me too," James shrugged.
"But you, Logan?"
Logan blushed sheepishly. He did act out of character, it wasn't like him to pull something so… so James like. On James himself, nonetheless. He felt guilty, but just a little bit. He had to take the chance and get her attention and interest before James. Seeing Aimee do that flip over the bench was amazing and Logan only felt more like for her after the chase.
"Sorry," Logan managed, just because it really wasn't like him and he knew that guilt would come back to hit him later on. Possibly.
James looked like he didn't care if Logan apologized or not, and it wasn't because he held a grudge, it was because James had already turned his attention to something else. He was focused on his phone, smiling to himself.
"James, what are you smiling at?"
"Aimee is so cute, she even texts 'ya'll'; that is too adorable," James said.
Logan instinctively reached for his phone but realized that it wouldn't work since it was in his pocket when he was shoved into the pool. So Logan smiled and said, "Oh really?" leaning closer to James' phone and slapped it right out of his hands. It didn't do much to the phone, the back popped off and the battery flew out.
James scowled, but fixed his phone as Logan fumed silently.
Kendall pulled Logan away to a corner and looked at him. "Logan, please. She's just a girl. No need to fight."
"But Kendall, I really like her-"
"You just met her!"
Logan fixed his eyes on Kendall's. "It only took one look at Jo for all of us to start fighting for her."
Kendall ignored him. "I just don't want you and James to fight. Then nothing will be accomplished in this band anymore with half of us fighting, ok? Why don't you guys just let AJ decide who she likes more?"
No. Not even a possibility. She'd pick James. "What if she picks James?" asked Logan quietly, though James left the room anyways.
Kendall looked understanding but firm. "Then you're just going to have to get over her, Logie."
Logan sighed and looked at his water soaked phone. "I can't even talk to her now."
A devilish glint appeared in Kendall's eyes. "I'm not sure if she'd even want to after she got chased around by you and James. How creepy!" He burst into laughter.
Laughing, Logan said, "I guess. Maybe I should leave her alone for awhile."
"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around anyways? The girl chases after a band member, not vice versa."
"AJ's not any kind of girl, things change, I guess."
"Do you think you can be her any kind of guy?" Kendall asked, referencing to their song.
Logan nodded. "I hope so. I'll do whatever to be it."
"Any kind of guy you want girl, that's the guy I'll be. Turn myself upside down," Kendall sang and looked to Logan for his part.
But Logan's head spun and he grinned happily. "Awesome idea! Thanks Kendall!" He flailed a little and hugged Kendall quickly before running off,
"There she is," Logan smiled, looking at his crush.
"The blonde?"
"Yeah," he sighed.
Guitar Dude nodded his approval. "Nice!"
"I know! All I need to do is, ya know, serenade her."
"From behind a bush?"
Logan and Guitar Dude were crouched behind a bush, looking at Aimee inbetween the leaves. She was sitting at the fire pit and was writing down something in a notebook. Aimee was wearing blue jeans that were obviously worn, telling by the hole in the knee; a blue cami with a white short-sleeved hoodie over it and her blonde hair was tied up in a simple ponytail.
"Uhm, no. We need to get over to her. And look casual."
"No problem, man." With that, Guitar Dude jumped up and yelled, "Hey Aimee!"
Logan pulled him back down before she looked up. "Not like that!"
"Well then, what's your plan?"
"Ok, we just go over and talk, just follow my lead. You play guitar, I sing, she falls madly in love with me."
Guitar Dude took a moment to consider Logan's plan. "Ok then! Let's do this."
They stood and walked over to Aimee, who had went back to writing in her notebook. Logan was confident that his plan would work, he tried to be more confident and walked with more swag in his step. If only he didn't feel so stupid doing so. He opened his mouth to say something but as he got closer, his throat locked up.
He lost all his swag when he tripped over a foam swim noodle. He yelped, but caught himself in time. Aimee looked up and smiled. "Hi, Logan, you all right?"
Her eyes caught his and Logan his mouth but nothing came out. All he could do was nod and smile stupidly.
Guitar Dude nudged Logan with his guitar. Logan coughed and said "I'm fine, what's up?"
"Not much, just writing," She said, then looked to Guitar Dude. "Hi."
"Hey, what's up?" Guitar Dude asked.
Aimee laughed a little. "Not much, just writing." She smiled at her saying the same answer.
Logan sat next to Aimee, with Guitar Dude next to him. "So, Aimee-"
"I like your guitar!" Guitar Dude said, spotting her guitar in an open case next to her.
Aimee looked at her guitar and back to Guitar Dude. "Thanks. I like yours too."
"Can I see it?"
Aimee hands over her guitar to Guitar Dude carefully, as if it were a baby. He inspects it, and Logan looks at it, seeing his reflection in the polished wood. It was pretty, Logan guessed. He didn't know much about guitars.
"Oh, it's a beauty," Guitar Dude said and strummed the strings then handed it to Aimee. "Can you play?"
"Yeah, I was actually writing some music," Aimee showed what she wrote, which was sheet music on it, to Logan and Guitar Dude.
"Can you play it for us?" Logan asked.
Aimee picked up her guitar and began to play the sweet melody. It was perfect for the springtime, all light and bouncy. It was like Aimee's personality written down as music. Logan loved it. It ended abruptly, to Logan's disappointment. "That's where I got stuck," Aimee told them.
Guitar Dude nodded. "But so far, it sounds great."
"Thanks. What can you play?" Aimee asked.
Guitar Dude looked to Logan then to Aimee. "How bout a song?"
"All right, I want to hear," Aimee smiled.
Starting to play a little intro to the song, Guitar Dude said "But I need a singer, so Logan's going to sing."
Thank you, Guitar Dude! Logan thought before singing "Any Kind Of Guy". Aimee looked at Guitar Dude then Logan, keeping her gaze on him.
"Any kind of guy you want, girl, that's the guy I'll be," Logan sang to her and she smiled. This is actually working! Logan thought happily.
And of course, something happens.
"Hey Logan! What'cha doing?" Kendall asked, coming up to them, eyebrow raised.
Logan and Guitar Dude stopped, looking over to him. They had just gotten to the middle of the chorus.
"Nothing."
Kendall had that 'I don't believe you' look on his face.
Carlos and James came up with him, and Logan looked away to avoid James' glare.
"What did I tell you, Logan?" Kendall asked.
"Uh,"
"Hi guys!" Aimee interrupted uneasily. "Uh, should I go or something?"
"No!" James and Logan yelled.
"Ok," Aimee shifted looking a little awkward.
Everyone was quiet.
"I didn't know you played guitar, Aimee," Carlos said, breaking the silence. "Can you play me a song?"
"All right." Aimee picked up her guitar and began to play. And to Logan's surprise, it wasn't her song and she opened her mouth to sing. "There's something about the way the street looks when it's just rained, there's a glow off the pavement; you walk me to your car and you know I want to ask you to dance right there, in the middle of the parking lot, yeah."
Guitar Dude smiled slightly and began to play softly, an underlying melody.
Jo came up and listened quietly to Aimee. "We're driving down the road, I wonder if you know I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now. You're just so cool, running your hands through your hair absentmindedly making me want you."
Logan paused, seeing James pushing the hair out of his eyes with his hand. He sighed, depression catching him for a moment. Aimee liked James.
Jo jumped in with Aimee and they sang in a sweet harmony "And I don't know how it gets better than this, you take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless." Aimee looked to Logan "And I don't know why, but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless." She looked to the rest of the guys and sang along with Jo. Logan held that moment when Aimee sang that line to him on replay in his mind. The song ended, and Logan was still frozen in that moment.
He looked and noticed that Aimee was talking to everyone, packing up her guitar.
"Aimee, you sang so great. Your voice is amazing." Logan said, honestly.
Aimee smiled. "Thanks, Logan."
"Guitar Dude, I didn't know you knew Taylor Swift songs!" Carlos commented.
He shrugged. "I play a little of everything."
As everyone laughed, and talked, Aimee caught Logan's eye. Logan's heart skipped a beat and she smiled at him. Logan began to blush, but smiled back.
She looked away though, and began to talk with James, who was at her side, carrying her guitar case. They all went inside, Aimee headed to the elevator to go to her apartment as Jo and Kendall went to go on a date, Carlos and James to hang out by the pool and Guitar Dude with them. Aimee said bye to everyone and before the elevator doors closed, she caught Logan's gaze. She smiled and waved a little as the doors shut. Logan smiled back, his heart racing. I think I just might actually have a chance.
