A/N: Hey everybody! I know alot of you have been waiting for the sequel to my story 'The Cure' and it's finally here! Few things before we get started: 1) If you haven't read 'The Cure' yet, I would suggest yyou read that first before reading this because there will be many references to that story here. 2) This story may or not be shorter that 'The Cure' it just depends on how things turn out. Plus, I have a couple new story ideas that I'm excited to start working on so we'll see how things turn out. I hope you all enjoy!
Faded Memories
Kendall P.O.V.
I used to think that things had a great way of working themselves out, especially in with us. But I guess this time was different. Ever since James and Logan came in contact with that gas things have been going from bad to worse. But even though things have been bad, I had hope that things could soon get better. I mean, if this cure works like Logan guessed it would, everything would be okay. Right?
As I watch James sleep (as he has been for almost ten hours now) I decided that it would probably be best to wake him up so he can get some food or at least some water into his system. "James?" I asked softly. No response. "Jay?" I asked lightly shaking him. I was relieved when his eyes finally fluttered open. He looked around the room, looking kinda confused. I was curious as to why he was looking at our room like it was a foreign place. He turned and looked at me, but I was shocked to see him staring at me like I was a complete stranger. "James?" I questioned, suddenly becoming very nervous. I was not prepared for what he said next.
"Who's James? And who are you?" He asked, with a curious expression. "J-James? It's me Kendall. Your best friend?" I said, even though it came out as more of a question. I was really hoping that James was just playing a prank on me or something but by the look on his face I could tell he wasn't acting. "I'm sorry. I… I can't remember anything." He said with such James-like sincerity that it made me want to cry.
"Logan! Carlos! Get in here!" I shouted, mere seconds from having a panic attack. It only took a few seconds for Carlos to appear in the door way followed by a still guilty looking Logan. "What's wrong?" Carlos asked. "Who are they?" James asked, curiosity and guilt evident in his voice. "Does that answer your question?" I snapped, instantly regretting it when James moved away from me.
"Sorry!" I quickly apologized, not wanting James to get the wrong impression. "It's okay. Can someone just please explain to me what's going on?" I looked over at Logan and Carlos. I noticed that Logan looked like he was getting ready to cry and I knew that he was probably starting to feel guilty thinking that this was his fault. I walked over to them, whispering so that James couldn't hear. "Carlos can you take Logan and make sure he's okay? I'll handle James." He nodded his head and took Logan to their room. I turned around and looked at James, who was staring at me with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What?" I asked, starting to feel kinda weirded out by James staring at me. "Um… Kendall right?" He asked, looking hopeful. "Yeah. That's me." I said, smiling a little at how even though he lost his memory, it's like he was the same old James. "I don't why, but something about you just seems so familiar. And there's this connection there that I can't really explain." His words just made my smile get even bigger. I probably looked like a creep right now but I didn't care. He may not remember me completely, but that bond was still there. Part of him did remember me, if even a little bit.
I filled him in on the basics because I was sure that you weren't supposed to overwhelm a person with memory loss with alot of memories. I would just have to tell him the basics and hope he remembers everything else on his own. "Okay so my name is James Diamond. It was my dream to become famous so you, Logan and Carlos helped me and now we're in a band called Big Time Rush." James said, sounding both excited and shocked. "Yep, that's pretty much it." I said, giving him a smile.
"But wait, why was Carlos so upset?" I looked at him in confusion before realizing what he meant. "You mean Logan?" I asked, wanting to make sure my theory was correct. "Right. Sorry." He said, looking disappointed. "It's okay. Your still trying to remember. I don't expect you to remember everything right off the bat." I assured him. "Thanks Kendall." He said, giving me a small smile.
"So why was Logan so upset?" He asked again looking curious. I was currently torn. I didn't know if I should tell James about the gas or not. We already had Logan feeling guilty. But now we had a chance to keep James from feeling guilty. I knew that if I told him about what happened while he was under the influence of that gas he would feel guilty. Maybe this was a chance to fix things.
"He was just kinda upset that you didn't remember him. He'll come around. I'm sure of it." I said, feeling slightly guilty about lying to my best friend like this. "One more question, would you happen to know how I lost my memory? I mean, you're the one that woke me up so maybe you know what happened?" I really should've seen that question coming. I looked at James and noticed the curious expectant look on his face that made me feel even more guilty for what I was about to do.
"Yeah, you were coming up stairs and I guess you tripped or something causing you to hit your head. I was the one that found you so I brought you to your bed. You must've hit your head pretty hard because when you woke up you didn't remember anything." I said, hoping that he believed me.
He was staring at me giving me a skeptical look. Like he was trying to analyze if I was telling the truth or not. "Wow. I guess I really must've hit my head pretty hard then." He chuckled. I could tell that it was forced and by the look on his face I knew that he didn't really believe me. But I guess he was letting it go. That's when I remembered the reason I woke James up.
"Hey, do you want anything to eat or drink?" I asked. By the sound of his stomach growling, I guessed that he was hungry. "Yes please." He muttered . Clearly embarrassed by the sound his stomach just made. "It's alright dude. Happens to all of us." I chuckled with him giving me a small smile in return. "I'll be back in a few." He nodded as I walked out of the room. As I made my way to the kitchen I could only think of one thing.
Please don't let this backfire.
Done! So this chapter wasn't that interesting but trust me things will start to get good soon. Like I said earlier, this story will probably be shorter that 'The Cure' unless I can think of something else to add. So what do you all think? Do you think that Kendall not telling James about the gas will backfire? Will James get all of his memory back? What about Logan and Carlos? These questions will be answered soon! Please let me know what you all think of the story so far! Until next time!
