"I'm sorry Ken, but I'm confused. Who's this? What are you doing in my house? You know, I'm just confused." I laughed slightly.

The man sat on our sofa had dark brown hair, and brown eyes. He was wearing black joggers and a white t-shirt. He didn't look familiar at all but something jogged in my memory. Kendall had told me a couple of weeks ago about meeting someone.

This must be him.

Logan was just stood staring between them both with a hard, cold expression on his face.

"This is Liam. He's my... boyfriend." Kendall introduced us to the stranger sat on my sofa.

He gave us a brief smile and then his expression changed back to confused. "Look, I'm so sorry if I've intruded anyone's home, I'm not too sure where I am... anymore?" He laughed awkwardly.

It was silent for a few minutes. A few, long and hard minutes of us all standing awkwardly wondering what to do.

Except from Logan of course, he had other things going off in his brain.

"Kendall I think you need to explain yourself." I broke the awkward silence and Kendall dragged Liam to the other living room without hesitation.

Logan still stood still, with the same expression.

"I know this must be hard for you Lo, but Kendall looks happy." I rubbed his shoulder lightly.

I hadn't seen them together for maybe more than five minutes, but from the way Kendall's face was glowing, I could tell it's the happiest she's been in a while. It also makes sense why she's been in kind of a good mood lately. Apart from the whole Elsie thing of course.

He turned to look at me, his expression softening as soon as his eyes landed on me. "It is. I'm scared it's going to happen again. It's weird to forget him. I can't forget him Tia. He was a big part of my life, for a long time. Since Kendall was fourteen."

Logan's rambling made me realise just how much this really has affected him. He's scared. He admitted it straight away.

"It won't happen again. I'm promising you that. It won't happen again. And just because Kendall's moving on, it doesn't mean she's going to forget. It just means she's come to terms, and she's realised she can't spend her whole life not moving on. She's happy Lo." I comforted.

He smiled lightly, "You always make me see sense and bring out the best in me."

And that ladies and gentleman, is how my heart rate went through the ceiling.

Logan and I sat waiting on the sofa in silence.

The front door shut and Kendall came to sit with us. We both gave her the same look and she took it as the time to explain herself.

"I went on a date with him a bit ago, we've been dating ever since. He's the one Logan, I mean it."

Logan kind of froze.

It must be hard hearing that your sister is moving on from someone you sadly lost, and even harder when you were so close to that person.

"If it makes you happy, then I can't stop you. I don't want to stop you. Arrange to do something tomorrow. Us four."

Much respect for that guy.

"Really?" Kendall seemed kind of shocked.

Logan smiled, "Yes."

"I'll phone him then." She grinned.

Logan began to walk out of the conservatory and up the kitchen steps, "I'm going for a shit."
