Make You Mine (Big Time Rush - Jagan)

Chapter Eight

James and Carlos woke up early the next day, deciding to get to the grocery store before anyone woke up so they could make a special breakfast. Today just so happened to be Carlos' and Kendall's one year anniversary since they've been married, and Carlos wanted to make it special for Kendall; which was why he wanted to get to the store and buy the things he needed before the others woke up.

"So, yours and Kendall's anniversary is today." James stated nonchalantly, pausing before continuing. "What are you planning?"

"Well, aside from breakfast – which doesn't really count because of you and Logan and Jasmine – I plan on taking Kendall to that restaurant the three of us went to when we first got here. Maybe go to the beach for a couple hours, walking in the sand or playing in the water. And then…we'll end up at a hotel."

"Alright, you can stop there. I do not need to know any more details."

"You're the one that asked, James." Carlos said in between giggles escaping passed his lips.

"I just, I wanted to know what you were doing during the day, if you planned on doing anything. Not what you were planning in the privacy of your own room, or a hotel room." James said, sending a glare towards Carlos before walking into the grocery store and making his way towards the isles that they would need.

When James and Carlos got back home, everyone was still sleeping. Kendall and Jasmine were cuddled up together on the couch, and Logan was on the floor curled up into the fetal position with his arms wrapped around his knees. James and Carlos couldn't help but smile at the three of them before making their way into the kitchen and dropping the grocery bags on the counter.

"What's going on with you and Logan?" Carlos asked, walking over to the stove with the package of bacon in his hands.

"Nothing" James answered quickly, grabbing two cups from the cabinet to pour some juice into them for him and Carlos. "We're just friends."

"But you don't want to be just friends…"

"Well, of course not." James said as if it was an easy answer. And really, it kind of was because James never really got over Logan. But it was clear that Logan had gotten over him. "It's just not gonna happen, because he's with Jett and his happy."

"James, you can't honestly believe that he's happy with Jett. I mean, sure they're getting married and sure Logan says he's in love with Jett. But Logan still loves you." Carlos said, sending an are-you-serious? look before looking down at the food on the stove. "He just…needs a reminder of what used to be."

"A reminder?" James scuffed. "Yeah, if he doesn't remember what it was like back in high school now, I doubt he still feels the same way about me. Besides, what's gonna happen? He breaks off the wedding with Jett and come running back to me?"

"Hey, honestly that's a whole lot better than him marrying Jett." Carlos said, turning around and shooting another look towards James. "I mean, you remember what Jett did in high school; he helped Brian, James."

"I remember, okay? I remember that night like it was fucking yesterday! But obviously Logan's gotten over that detail; otherwise they wouldn't be engaged to each other."

Carlos bit his lip in guilt at the look that was on James' face, turning back around to focus his attention on the food instead of James.

The five of them ate in silence, not knowing what to say that early in the morning; and as soon as they were finished, Logan brought up the conversation of him going back to his apartment today. Carlos mentioned that he wanted to take Jasmine swimming at the local swimming pool and thought that while Logan was checking out the new additions to his apartment with James and Kendall, Carlos and James could go swimming. Logan was hesitant at first because he hasn't been spending much time with her the past couple days, but decided that it was a small price to pay since he's had five years alone with her. Plus, Carlos seemed to like her; so, he couldn't really say no.

And that had been what leads Logan, James, and Kendall to a very empty apartment. For a second, Logan thought that maybe he got the wrong apartment number; but then thought against that idea because he had used a key to unlock it. Then, he thought that maybe Jett just wasn't finished with whatever it was that he had planned. But as soon as he made his way into the room that was Logan's, that idea immediately left his mind.

On the floor where once Logan's bed stood was a small, velvet box sitting on top of a piece of paper. And as soon as Logan made his way towards the box and picked up the box, he knew exactly what it was before he even opened it. But as if hoping he was wrong, Logan opened it anyways and saw a ring that resembled the ring that was placed upon his own ring finger.

Willing the tears to not fall, Logan bent down and picked up the piece of paper.

Keep the ring. Do whatever you want with them, I don't care. But I can't do this anymore. It's over. –Jett

Not knowing what else to do, Logan fell to the ground and buried his face in his hands as he allowed the tears to fall freely. Jett hadn't even mentioned the disappearance of the furniture. He had just ended the relationship, the engagement, and didn't even bother saying sorry about any of what happened. And what made it worse was that Jett couldn't even end things face to face; he had to do it through a fucking piece of paper.

Logan wasn't sure how long he stayed like that, but eventually he felt someone grab the piece of paper out of his hands. It only took two seconds after that for someone to bent down and wrap their arms around him, and he instantly turned to wrap his arms around their neck and bury his face in their chest.

It felt like decades – which was probably only an hour – before the three of them were exiting the empty apartment and making their way back towards Kendall and James' house, none of them sure of what to say about what happened. It pissed Kendall and James off that Jett would do something like this again. And it took everything in them to not hunt him down and beat the shit out of him. But they managed to restrain themselves from doing that, in order to get Logan to their house and make sure he was okay.

When they reached their destination, Logan quickly made his way towards the guest room that he was staying in, ignoring everyone around him.

James and Kendall noticed that Carlos and Jasmine were there already, which was surprising since they were supposed to be swimming. But as they made their way into the house, they noticed that Carlos and Jasmine were in the living room, staring at the way that Logan had gone.

"What's wrong?" Carlos asked, turning his gaze to Kendall.

"Uh, James you wanna talk to him while I take Jasmine to play some Mario Kart?" Kendall asked, following Jasmine who had instantly ran towards the game room at the mention of Mario Kart.

They both waited until Kendall was out of sight before turning towards each other and begin talking.

"We went to Logan's apartment and everything was gone." James began, not wanting to say anything else because the only thing that he wanted to do at the moment was comfort Logan, who was probably bawling his eyes out at the fact that Jett was a fucking dick. Or go hunt down Jett and punch him in the face for being a dick.

"Everything was gone?"

"Yeah, I was thinking – hoping, really – that Jett just wasn't finished and didn't call Logan to tell him not to show up."

"But that wasn't what happened, was it?" Carlos noticed how James' jaw tensed at the question and how James' eyes showed that he was pissed. "Whoa, what happened?"

"Fucking jerk broke up with him! Through a piece of fucking paper!"

"What?!"

"I wanna kill him so bad, Carlos." James stated, looking like he was about to flee the house in search for Jett. "He empties Logan's apartment and then breaks up with him!"

"Whoa, James. Calm down." Carlos said, stepping forward and placing a hand on James' chest in order to calm him down a little. "I'm sure Logan doesn't want you to kill Jett. I mean, I understand why you do. But Logan would just hate you for that."

Once James was calmed down enough to speak without wanting to punch something, James replied. "I know. I hate that about him, but I also love that." James cracked a smile at the thought of still loving Logan. "I just… I can't believe that Jett would do something like that."

"Me either, but it's the past. And all you can do now is comfort Logan."
