Bittersweet Love

Chapter 7

Carlos's point of view:

Two weeks have passed and Logan is getting worse day by day. Camille is still in the Palm Woods, but has no contact with Logan. Her dad takes care of that. We tried to convince him, but it didn't work. I hoped that Logan would calm down, but the next day showed me how wrong I was with it. He didn't speak to us and ignored us. This hurt me more than anything else and made my feelings of guilt worse …

Now I lie on my bed and stare at the ceiling. It's already very late at night, but I just can't sleep. I have to think about Logan all the time.

"Carlos?" James whispers in the darkness.

"Yes?"

He turns on his bedside lamp. "Can't you sleep either?"

I nod. James gets up and sits down next to me. Then it suddenly knocks on the door.

"Guys, are you awake?" It's Kendall.

"Yes," James replies. Kendall comes in and sits down with us.

"What about Logan?" James asks him. Kendall sighs. "He finally fell asleep." Kendall looks tired and depressed. I know why. He and Logan are best friends. But since Logan isn't talking to us anymore, Kendall fears that he has lost his best friend. I can understand how he feels. But how can we help Logan? He would probably feel better if he could talk to Camille. But how? They have to meet outside of the Palm Woods. In a place where they are alone … A place that Mr. Roberts doesn't know … "Guys, I know what we can do!"

Kendall and James look at me confused.

"Are you sure?" James asks suspiciously. I roll my eyes. "Yes!" I explain the plan to both of them. Kendall beams. "That's awesome, Carlos! Man, why didn't I think of this?"

"Because it was time for others to have a good plan," I reply with a grin. James laughs.

"We definitely need the help of Jo and Katie. Tomorrow we'll tell them about the plan and then we'll see," Kendall says and James and I nod in agreement. Then Kendall gets up and waves to us. "Good night, guys." He leaves the room. James pats me on the shoulder. "Good plan, buddy."

"Do you think it will work?"

"Sure, of course. Our plans always work."
