James wasn't sure what he was going to do. Jett had apparently kicked Logan out of his own house for the weekend, and Logan was supposed to be staying at James house. Now, naturally James didn't mind because at least Logan was around that jerk face. But Logan seemed to love Jett – whether it was more than he had loved James or not, he did love Jett – and Jett seemed to be all for getting rid of him.

It wasn't supposed to be James problem. But James still cared about Logan, no matter how much Logan seemed to refuse to allow James back into his life, and James was determined to figure out why Jett had kicked Logan out of his own house. And why did Logan allow Jett to do that? What would have happened if James and Kendall and Carlos hadn't been in town over the weekend, and there was no place for Logan to go?

But James pushed all of that into the back of his mind as he watched Jasmine and Carlos play with her dolls. Kendall and Logan were sitting at the kitchen table, catching up with whatever they didn't talk about yesterday. And James was left all alone, sitting in the living room trying to watch television with Jasmine and Carlos on the floor in front of him. He wasn't sure whether they were sitting there on purpose or not, and if they were it sure was working.

He quickly decided to stand up and walk into the kitchen, deciding that he'd join Kendall and Logan at the kitchen table. When he walked in there, he noticed how Kendall had said something that caused Logan to throw his head back with a loud laugh.

James froze in the doorway, staring at Logan; his eyes were shining with humor, dimples showing up on his face as his smile grew wider than before. He wasn't sure how long he stood there, staring at Logan, before the two of them noticed him.

"James!" Kendall gestured for him to sit in the seat next to him. "Come sit with us."

"Um, okay." James slowly walked into the room and sat down across from Logan.

"Actually, I gotta get Jasmine to bed. So, I'll see you two tomorrow." With that, Logan quickly got up from the chair that he was sitting in and quickly made his way out of the kitchen towards the living room.

"How are you?" Kendall asked as soon as he was sure that Logan wouldn't be able to hear them talk.

"I'm not sure." James looked down towards the table, not wanting to look up into Kendall's face. "I mean, I know that he's with Jett, and I guess I'm fine with that; we haven't seen each other in five years. But I just… I kind of miss him."

And it was true; James missed Logan. His Logan. He missed when Logan didn't like Jett because he was on Brian's side. He missed when Logan didn't leave the room when James came into a room. He just missed Logan. And James wasn't sure what to do about it.

"I don't trust Jett." Kendall said, looking towards the door to – no doubt – make sure that Logan wasn't eavesdropping. "The apartments Logan's, not Jett's. He has no right to kick Logan out."

"We can't do anything about it, though, Kendall."

"I know."

Sometimes Logan envied Jasmine. Well, maybe more than sometimes; most of the time, was more like it. She was always able to fall asleep within a minute of going to bed, even if she's never been to the place before. She didn't have to worry about a fiancé – and hopefully wouldn't for a long time. She didn't have to worry about ex-boyfriends – again, hopefully she wouldn't for a long time.

But Logan loved Jasmine, and he was okay with dealing with everything.

Logan had been laying in this bed for over two hours, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep. He had tried singing himself to sleep, which always worked for Jasmine; but obviously didn't work for Logan. He tried counting sheep, which doesn't work if you don't have much of an imagination. And he was just about to give up, when Logan remembered that his mother always used warm milk, when he was a little kid, to get him to fall asleep.
