Hey! So, this is a story I'm writing, to get away from all the angst in my other stories. Don't get me wrong, this story will have angst as well, but it won't be as dark, and it'll mostly be hurt/comfort. Enjoy!

"Please, Kenny!" Katie begs, giving her brother puppy dog eyes. "It's just a bike ride!" She, and her best friends, Lianna, Carrie, and Jenna, want to go bike riding by themselves, but their brothers aren't agreeing. Logan, Carlos, and James, are the brothers of her best friends, respectively. The eight of them have grown up together, and all formed a close bond.

The four guys stand in front of them, arms crossed, stern looks on their faces. All four of them aren't on board with the idea of their little sisters going out into the streets of LA, alone. It's a dangerous city, full of thieves, muggers, robbers, criminals, not to mention the risk of injury from riding on the main roads.

"No," Logan says firmly, shifting his gaze to all four of the girls. "It's too dangerous out there. You girls could get hurt, or kidnapped or something."

"But-"

"Carrie, I just want you to be safe," Carlos tells her, when he sees the frown on her face. "You're my baby, and I have no idea what I'd do if anything happened to you."

"I'm not a baby..." Carrie mumbles, turning away from him.

"You're a baby to me," Carlos replies having heard Carrie's remark. He opens his arms, smiling sympathetically. "C'mere." Carrie steps into his embrace, squealing as he lifts her to his chest.

"Jamie, please...?" Jenna pleads, staring up at him with begging eyes. "We'll be careful, we promise."

James sighs. He wants to let them go, but a small part of him says that they could get hurt. He loves Jenna, Lianna, Carrie, and Katie so much, and he never wants to see them hurt. When he moved to LA, his mom let him bring Jenna, after he promised to keep her safe. He doesn't know how safe a bike ride in the middle of a crowded city would be.

"I'm thinking about it, Jen. In the meantime..." He trails off, holding out his arms. Almost instantly, Jenna runs into them, attaching herself to him. She's really clingy, and they both love that. James loves holding her, and Jenna relishes the feeling of being in his arms.

Lianna is a bit hesitant about the entire thing, but still does want to go, to have fun with her friends. She looks up at her brother, who has a concerned look on his face, as he and Kendall have a conversation with their eyes. She doesn't understand why they do that, but there's nothing she can do about it.

They both look over at Carlos and James, who nod in turn. Then, all four of them turn to Katie and Lianna. Carrie and Jenna are wrapped in tight embraces, their heads buried in their brothers' shoulders'. At first, the stern looks return, but they're replaced with ones of happiness.

"Okay, you guys can go bike riding," Logan announces, smiling gently. "Just, all of you, wear helmets, take your phones, stay together, don't fight, and please, please, be careful. We don't want any of you to be hurt in any way. If it gets too crowded, or if one of you gets hurt, call. We will come get you guys. Understand?"

"Yep!" Katie says excitedly, a smile appearing on her face. Jenna nods into James' shoulder, still clinging onto him. Carrie grins at Carlos, hugging him tighter, expressing her affection.

"Yeah," Lianna murmurs quietly. She feels a tap on her shoulder, and looks up into Logan's worried eyes. He extends his arms, and Lianna rushes into them, desperately needing the comfort from Logan. She clings to him, burying her face in his shoulder.

"You okay, babygirl?" He asks gently, placing a hand on her back. He's surprised to see her eyes filled with tears, when she looks up at him.

"I dunno," she mutters. He places his hand on her forehead, checking for fever. She's not warm, then again, she isn't cool either. She could have a low-grade fever.

"I don't think you should go..."

"Logie! I want to! Please!" Lianna's heart sinks when she hears Logan's words. She really wants to go with her friends. Spending time with Logan wouldn't be bad at all, but hanging out with Katie, Carrie, and Jenna is awesome.

"Okay, babygirl. But please, text me or call me, if you start to feel bad, okay?" Logan's concerned eyes look into hers, worry consuming him.

"We'll watch out for her," Katie says, from her perch on Kendall's shoulders.

...

Jenna smiles at her brother, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. "Love you, big brother." He squeezes her one last time, before setting her down, and ruffling her hair. Jenna squeals and punches him lightly, smoothing her hair down, and walking to the hall closest, to grab her bike helmet.

Carrie and Carlos do their special handshake, collapsing in giggles. Carlos plants a kiss on the top of her head, before setting her down, smiling at her. "Go have fun, Care-bear." She grins at him, rushing after Jenna.

"Bye, big bro," Katie whispers, as Kendall bends down, so she can get off his shoulders. She turns and hugs him once more, burying her face in his chest.

"Go enjoy yourself, but be careful, baby sister," Kendall warns, kissing her cheek. "Love you."

"Love you too, Kenny. Bye!" Katie grins once more, and then dashes from the room, so only Lianna is left to say bye to her brother.

"I love you, babygirl. You'll be okay, right?" Logan checks, still concerned, as he hugs Lianna to his chest.

"Fine, Logie. I love you too. I'll be back soon," Lianna murmurs, as Logan kisses her forehead. He sets her down, giving her one last hug, before she walks from the room, grabbing her helmet, before following her friends out the door with a parting wave.

"You think they'll be okay?" James asks, turning to his friends. "I mean, LA is full of dangerous things, and..."

"Jay, hush. They'll be fine. Now, who's up for some video games?" Kendall offers.

...

Katie squeals in delight, pedaling faster, as the wind blows in her face. She loves the feeling of being outside. The sights, the smell of fresh air, the open land, she just loves it. They're riding on the busiest road in LA, being as careful as possible. However, Lianna's trailing behind. She doesn't look too good, but her determination hasn't stopped her yet.

"You good, Li?" Katie calls. She's pretty worried about her friend. After all, Lianna does look sick.

"Fine!" Lianna replies. She doesn't feel that great, but she doesn't want everyone worrying for nothing. Nor does she want to ruin the plans she has with her friends.

"Okay, guys. There's an intersection coming up, probably the biggest one in the city. We gotta be really careful, alright?" Katie yells.

"Gotcha," Jenna responds. The four girls stop at the sidewalk, waiting for the walk sign to light up.

A few seconds later, the sign lights up, stopping all traffic, for pedestrians to cross the street. They begin to cross the street, just as a huge truck speeds down the road. The driver seems to have lost control of the wheel, and he can't stop. The girls are too late to escape across, and then truck hits them full force, running over them in the middle of the road.

...

The ringing of a phone startles the guys. It's Logan's phone that blares loudly, and he answers quickly.

"Hello? Yes, I am, and their brothers are with me, right now..." Logan says into the phone, hesitantly. He listens for a few moments, his face paling. "WHAT?! Oh my god...we'll be there in 5 minutes. Thank you so much!" He hangs up, and turns to the other guys, a tear streaming down his cheek.

"The girls were in a bad car accident."

So, there's the first chapter! I'd love some feedback on this, since it is my first time using four OC's. I'm writing the second chapter right now, and I'm hoping to post it tomorrow. Have a good night!
