Chapter 31 Epilogue

3 years later

»Ow! « James cried out.

»Oh don't be such a baby. « Logan said good-naturally.

He put more force behind the movements of his hands against James' bare back.

Both males were now in college. Logan studies medicine obviously, while James has as major music and as a minor physical education. And at his last work out he pushed himself too far and strained his back. To ease his boyfriend's pain, Logan gave him a massage. But every time, Logan unstiffened a muscle and eased out a knot in James's back, the jock groaned and whined.

Their relationship has been successful for the last three years. Of course, they had some arguments and even a few major fights, but in the end they always remembered their love for each other and talked things out. And then they had bombastic make-up sex. Both had the luck to get accepted to the same college: UCLA. They moved to Los Angeles together with Kendall and Carlos.

In their freshman year, they were living in the college dorms, before they found an apartment for the four of them together.

Kendall was studying at UCLA too. His major was English, but he was mostly focused on his hockey play. Carlos went to a very prestigious acting school in L.A. and was very successful there.

For some time now Kendall and Carlos were engaged. Kendall proposed to Carlos on their third anniversary and they were very happy. They didn't plan their wedding yet, since neither of them wanted a large ceremony and they were very busy with their studying.

Soon Logan finished his massage. He washed his hands, while James got dressed. Then James kissed Logan, before they went out into the living room. Carlos lay on the couch, his head dangling upside down from the couch. Logan frowned at his brother.

»What are you doing Carlos? «

»Learning the text for my play. «

»What are you playing? «

»The Scottish Play. «

»I don't know that one. « James admitted.

Logan snorted.

»That's an euphemism, because a lot of actors think it is bad luck to say its real name. « he explained.

»It is bad luck! « Carlos insisted.

»Which play is it? « James asked confused.

»Macbeth. « Logan replied.

Carlos shrieked.

»Stop, Logan! «

»Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! «

Carlos shrieked again and ran into the room he shared with Kendall. James chuckled.

»That wasn't very nice, Logie. «

»He'll live. Where is Kendall? «

»Training. «

»Of course. «

A few days ago, Kendall got the message that his father died in a plane crash. While he didn't stay in contact with his father for the last 3 years, it hit Kendall really hard. The other boys, especially Carlos, did everything to cheer him up. But Kendall distanced himself from his family and friends and spent most at the time to play hockey and train. The boys tried to confront their friend of course, but nothing worked and they got frustrated and even more worried with every day.

»Logan…«

»What is it? «

»I have an idea. « James said.

~Time Skip~

James, Logan and Carlos needed a few days to prepare everything for James' idea. They also got the help of Mama Knight and Katie.

When Kendall came home from training that day and stepped into the living room, he froze. All of his friends and family were gathered in the room. All of them had letters in their hands and over their heads was a big banner with one word written on it: Intervention.

»What is going on? « the blonde asked.

»We are worried about you. « Mama Knight said.

»And we want to help you. « Carlos added.

»You just need to let us in. « Katie finished.

»I am fine. You don't need to worry about me. «

Logan could barely contain his snort.

»You are not, Kendall. Can't you see what you do? « the brunette asked.

»You distance yourself from us. You barely talk or sleep. You never eat. The only thing you do is train. You push yourself to your limit. Until you break. « James explained.

»Kendall, I love you so much. That's why I want to help you, but if you don't let me help… I don't know how long I can stand it to see you like this. «

Kendall stared horrified at his fiancé.

»Y-You want to break up with me? «

»I don't want to. But I can't bear it to watch while you destroy yourself, while I cannot help you. It would be too much for me. «

The Latino had tears in his eyes, just as Kendall had.

»C-Carlos…D-Don't leave me. « the blonde whispered.

Logan could see that Carlos had the best chance of talking to Kendall, so he quickly and quietly nudged James out of the room. They were followed by Mama Knight and Katie.

When they were alone, Carlos walked towards Kendall and wrapped his arms around the crying male. They moved to the couch, where the blonde cried into his fiancé's chest. Carlos let Kendall cry. He knew his fiancé needed to let everything out.

After Kendall finished crying, Carlos asked:

»Are you feeling better now? «

»I am actually. «

The Latino looked at his love.

»This can't continue like this, Kendall. «

»I know…«

»What do you want to do now? «

»I want… I need to change. For you. For us. «

»I just want to you to let me in more often. I want to take care of you. I want to help you. Because I love you. «

»I love you, too. Carlos. And I am sorry for drifting away from you. «

~Time Skip~

It took a few months for things to return to their normal state. Kendall had some difficulties with opening up. But once he opened up to Carlos, it was like floodgates were opened. And once that crisis was managed, the four guys were even closer than before.

The future looked good for them.
