Authors Notes: First of all, why do I keep doing this to myself? I'm currently working on fours fics now. Uggh! Anyway I hope you like this one!
"Dogs! Get in here!" Gustavo yelled across the room from his desk. The four boys all came running in one by one. The boys had been working all day on harmonies and songs for their new album. They've been working so hard for the past few weeks that they only had one song left to record; the whole group was pretty tired and definitely could use a break.
Carlos was about to say something when Gustavo gave him a look that immediately changed his mind. "I just got off the phone with Griffin. He says you all need a break, I don't see why but—that's not the point. He wants you to go to a party tonight, so you are." The man didn't wait for a reply. "Good. Now get out of my office." The boys walked to the door without a word, waited until the door was shut then finally rejoiced.
"Uggh! Finally! I though we'd never get a break!" Carlos yelled in excitement before doing an explosive fist bump with Logan.
"It'd better be a good party. Cause I swear if we have to go to some country club menagerie that someone called a 'party' I'm quitting the band." Kendall pessimistically stated.
James gave his friend a look then stepped in. "Wow. How great of you that would be? Then we'd finally be a band of talented people!" He said in mock happiness.
Kendall stared at James for a moment trying to find truth in the words, there was none. "Ha. Ha." He turned to his two other friends. "Let's go. We want you two to look nice tonight for the ladies." Confused the two started walking out with their blonde friend.
James, feeling like the words he said came out a little wrong, ran after the guys. "Come on! Kendall I was kidding!" His friend's all turn around, Kendall looks seriously mad but then his act fails.
Kendall smiles at James and pulls him along by one of his arms.
They arrive at the party in their own car, it took them all of three seconds to decide they didn't want a driver to take them to the party and Logan just recently got his license along with an awesome car so really it was no contest.
"Wow." They all whistle in unison. "This place is— well it's amazing!"
Each of the friends nod as Logan hands the keys to the man waiting for them.
He runs over to Carlos. "Dude! They have a valet. For a party!" Logan looks back in disbelief, then shakes his head.
The boys eventually make it to the door, along with eighty or so other guests and enter the house or rather, mansion.
They gasp as they take in their surroundings. The area they enter is huge. It has bright green, red and blue lights swirling around the room, matching the techno beat of the song that's playing.
"So uhh Kendall?" James yells at his friend, hoping his voice with make it to him over the music. "Not a country club!"
Kendall laughs at that. "Guess that means you guys are stuck with me!" He pokes at his friends. Kendall wouldn't actually leave the band, he would never leave his friends behind, for anything.
James stops them where they stand with two hands on Carlos' and Kendall's chests. "We will not, I repeat not be hanging out with each other tonight. Is that understood? I need a girlfriend. So leave me alone." He lets his hands fall and walks away towards the center of the room.
Kendall leans into Logan and yells into his ear. "What are the chances there's a girl here tonight his age?"
Logan turns to look at his friend for a moment. Then yells right back, "Well…Not high." They both laugh and turn to Carlos, who has disappeared.
"Huh. Maybe we should do the same?" Logan asks Kendall. "Yeah, see ya later. And don't get into too much trouble!" Kendall laughs awkwardly as he walks away from his friend. No way would Logan Mitchell be getting into any trouble tonight.
They've been at the party for about an hour when Logan approaches Kendall. Kendall's sitting alone, drinking a Pepsi, there's no way he's drinking any of the punch they have by the food, and watching the couple across from him make out. He rolls his eyes. The blonde thought this party would be a lot more fun. But, since he's got a girlfriend, he can't hit on women, and since his friends don't have girlfriends they can so they've efficiently ditched him.
He kind of wishes he could just go home and sleep. He's bored and the music is way too loud. That's when someone taps on his shoulder, more, bangs, than taps. He turns around to see Logan looked seriously ill.
"K-kendall? Can we…" Logan takes a breath. "Can we go home now?" Logan's eyes are pleading and there's no way in hell Kendall's staying at this party a second longer.
Kendall assesses his friend for a moment. "Logan? What's wrong?" Logan stares at his friend before blinking away the cobwebs that settled in his eyes. Kendall makes a face.
"I don't…Kendall, I don't feel so good." Kendall get's up off the couch, and rounds his friend. "Logan? I can't drive. You're the only one here who can." But that response nearly puts Logan to tears, he makes a noise in his throat.
"Please. I can't…I need to go home." He's pleading with Kendall now, his eyes now wet and frustrated. Kendall grabs Logan's chin and turns his friend's sad face towards himself. Logan's eyes keep blinking, like he can barely keep them open and his face is radiating a scary amount of warmth.
Kendall finally agrees. "...Okay. Let's go." He wraps an arm around Logan's shoulders and guides him to the door. When they pass through the door way Kendall signals the valet to get their car.
His arm still around Logan's, he can feel his friends body shaking and hears the short pants leaving his mouth.
Pulling Logan closer he tries to reassure him. "You're gonna be okay Logie." Logan let's out a whimper and grinds his teeth, his eyes closing momentarily. His stomach is on fire, and he just wants to get home as soon as possible.
At the sounds his friend is making Kendall develops a knot in his stomach. He's all of a sudden scared, and really wishes he weren't.
When the person at the valet finally rolls Logan's car up he rushes Logan towards it. Without even thinking he pushes Logan into the back, Logan immediately rolls up against the door and lays his head down.
Kendall pulls out his cell and texts his two other friends. 'Logie sick. Meet out front.'
Carlos is the first of the two left inside to emerge, he looks at Kendall in the front seat of the car and then back to Logan, in the back behind Kendall's seat. He hops in back with Logan and gives him a worried look.
"Are you okay Logan?" He reaches out to touch his friend but Logan flinches away, so Carlos pulls his comforting hand back.
"He's just sick Carlos. When we get home he'll be fine." He tries to reassure his worrying friend. "Did you see James in there?"
As soon as the words were said James appeared outside the mansion, looking extremely upset. He sets his sights on Kendall and glares.
"Seriously! There'd better be a good reason for this Knight!" He yells at his friend in the front seat. Kendall would have screamed at James had it been a different circumstance, instead he just orders James to get in the car and shut up.
Kendall's driven before but not in dire circumstances like this one. Plus he didn't even have his license yet. To say Kendall Knight was nervous was an understatement, he was terrified.
They were driving for about fifteen minutes when Logan started to cry. It scared all of them to no end. Logan was laying down now and was curled in on himself, clutching at his stomach.
He couldn't seem to keep still, he would moan in pain and tighten a random part of his body, straightening it out to distract from the pain.
Carlos leaned forward and whispered into James' ear, James seemed to think about whatever Carlos whispered and then turned to Kendall.
"Maybe…Maybe we should go the hospital, Kendall." James looked at Logan. Tears were making their way down his face like a faucet. His eyes were puffy and face flushed, but James didn't think that was because of Logan's crying. He was sick, extremely sick and James was scared for his friend.
Kendall just nodded. He wholeheartedly agreed with James. Hospital sounded like a great idea, especially looking into his rear view mirror he saw a shaking, feverish, breathless, in pain; Logan and couldn't help but agree. But Kendall has no idea where they are, Logan drove and he wasn't paying attention.
Soon though that wasn't even a problem, they'd been driving for way longer than he knows they're supposed to be. He looks around and sees no end to the darkness of the road and sighs, looking again, back to his friend in the rear view mirror. Logan looked terrible; he really does need a hospital.
All of a sudden he heard James scream. "Kendall look out!" before he could think they were swerving off of the road into the darkness of a forest.
Kendall was shaking, the animal came out of nowhere and Kendall, on instinct, just swerved off of the road. He looked around at his friends. "A-are you guys okay?"
James had his hands on the dash and was breathing hard but seemed alright. "Yeah…I-I'm okay." They both looked back to where Logan and Carlos were sitting.
Carlos was holding a shaking Logan and his breaths were also coming pretty quickly, they both seemed relatively okay, aside from Logan's initial problem. Carlos looks from Logan to the two in the front seat. "W-what happened?"
"I-I…I don't know…There was an animal, and I swerved." Kendall looked at Logan. "Logan? A-are you okay?'
Logan gasped and clutched tighter to his stomach. He looked up to Kendall with tears in his eyes and quickly nodded.
Kendall looked at James, they both had the same look in their eyes; fear. They don't know what's wrong with Logan but, they know he needs a doctor, and fast.
The blonde turned around in his seat, he tried to get the car to move. It didn't.
Kendall looked around. "What the-? James, get out and see why we aren't moving." James did as he was told, he threw open the door and ran around to the back of the car.
"Uhm…I think we're stuck in mud!" He yelled from the behind the trunk. He pulled out his phone and punched in the numbers 9-1-1, then the 'service unavailable' message flashed across the screen. Kendall looked at Carlo and Logan again and slammed his hand down on the dash. "Shit." He whispered to himself.
Kendall opened his door and walked to the back where Logan was and opened the door. "Come on…" He reached for Logan's hand. Logan looked at his friends hand, he shook his head.
"Ken—I-I, can't….please…" He drew in a quick breath. "It-it hurts." Kendall looked at his sick friend, than turned to James. "James!" He called. "Get him out of here." James gave Kendall an odd look. "Kendall? He's in pain. We can't—"
"Yes! We can." The blonde interrupted. "We have too. He needs a doctor, James. Now please…" There was desperation in his voice. He didn't want Logan to be in pain, not even a little. He just wanted him to be okay, and to forget this night ever happened.
James slowly, walked back around the car to where Kendall was standing. He gave a quick glance in the blonde's direction before ducking into the car and reaching for his smaller friend. Logan backed away, pressing further into Carlos.
"Please…C-can't you just—leave without me?" He whispered, he couldn't speak much higher than that.
"We're not leaving you Logan." And with that he pulled the boy out of the car but not without consequence. Logan gasped before a loud wail followed.
"Ahhhh!"
It scared James and the others but he held tight to his sick friend, and once Logan's pain subsided Logan wrapped his arms around James' neck and sobbed into his shoulder. "You're gonna be okay Logan. I promise." James whispered to the boy crying in his arms.
"Where are we going?" Carlos suddenly asked. "W-why can't we just all for an ambulance? Please!" Kendall threw his hands into the air. "Because! We have no service Carlos! Now shut up and let's go!"
James looked at Kendall and bit his lip. There was no reason to start a fight; they were all just worried about Logan.
Carlos was taken aback when his friend yelled like that, he was scared enough, and he didn't need Kendall to be yelling at him.
Thankfully James was there too, James turned to Kendall. "Leave him alone, man. He's just as worried about Logan as you, so layoff." With that the tall teenager started walking away from his two friends.
The two boys watched as their friend left then looked at each other.
"I'm sorry-" Kendall started to apologize, but Carlos put up a hand and halted him.
"It's okay…We're both just worried. Let's go."
To say Logan was in pain would be an understatement. Logan felt like he was boiling, like every liquid in his body was rapidly heating up, cooling down and then heating up again. Moving hurt, thinking hurt. Everything just, hurt.
Logan knew he was crying, and he didn't want to seem like a baby but, this was a pain like he's never experienced before. So he clutched onto James for dear life, praying that they get out of that God forsaken forest and find a place with painkillers, hopefully a hospital but anything would suffice for Logan right now.
He could hear the others talking, and then yell at each other, as much as he wished they wouldn't he couldn't do anything about it anyway. He didn't want to do anything, let alone talk.
After a ways Logan started to feel sick. Worse than he did now, he felt his stomach start to cramp and he whimpered. "J-James…" was all he got out before he felt himself emptying his stomach contents all over his friend. Puking jarred his body and he started to scream, the boiling was back but this time; in full force.
He felt himself being laid onto the ground beneath him and then some panicked calls, Logan was sorry he puked on James but, he couldn't help it and in his defense he did warn him. Right now he didn't want to think about what James was going to do to him when he could talk again. He just wanted to sleep, so Logan pulled his eyelids closed and rested.
"J-James…" He heard his name and looked down, he was about to ask what was wrong when Logan puked all over him. At first he was a little upset but then he saw the color or what was splattered all across his shirt. It was red, red being bad because it only meant one thing when coming from the body. Blood.
Then he heard Logan scream a low guttural scream. Piercing through James heart like a knife. 'Why the hell did we go to this party?'
His other two friends were behind him waking side by side each other, until they heard Logan scream and James call for them. "Oh my god! Guys! Get over here!" He gently laid Logan down on the ground of the forest. Kendall and Carlos sprinted to where Logan now lay, both immediately at his side.
"Oh my God…" Was Kendall's first reaction. "Is that…B-blood?"
Carlos didn't even have words, he took one look at Logan and tears were blurring his eyes. Kendall pulled out his phone again, he dialed the familiar numbers and the same message flashed across his screen. 'Service unavailable'
"Wait here…" Kendall said his tone soft and definitely scared. Carlos and James turned to him.
Carlos was he first to respond. "What? Why?"
"Yeah, what are you gonna do?" James asked, clearly confused. Kendall looked down at Logan, whose eyes were closed; he had blood streaming down his chin and side of his face past his ears into his hair. Just looking at Logan was a reflection of how bad the situation was.
"I'm gonna go try and find service. We're not going to make it into town fast enough." He explained hopelessly. He was scared to say it but, he was afraid that Logan wasn't going to make it back to town in time, his friend was getting worse and worse each passing second.
James seemed to agree, he looked Kendall in the eyes. "Hurry." Was all James said before Kendall was running in the direction of the house they'd previously left behind.
James and Carlos waited.
Kendall made it to the house in ten minutes tops. He ran so hard that his lungs burned and his legs were tired but he made it. He made his way up the steps of the house before he turned to the valet he'd seen that night and yelled at him to call 9-1-1. The valet had a silver name tag on that read, 'Gene'. Gene looked to be about twenty, probably only taking this job to pay for school or something. He looked like a nice enough person, his eyes were soft and held compassion in them even through the very confusing situation.
"P-please! My friend! He's sick!" Kendall pleaded.
The valet, Gene, seemed confused but did as he was told. He dialed the number and handed his phone to the boy in front of him.
Kendall snatched the phone from the mans hand and yelled into the phone.
"Please we need an ambulance! My friend he's—" He was cut off by a calming female voice.
"Okay we're sending one, what's your location sweetie?"
Kendall thought about that for a moment, he realized he didn't know.
"I-I don't know… W-we we're driving home…and…I took the wrong turn." The valet, upon hearing that, jumped into the conversation.
"You took Kaper road!" he then took the phone from Kendall and relayed some information to the woman over the phone, he asked Kendall how far down the road they were, suddenly the phone was being hung up and Kendall was on his way back to his friends.
Gene explained to Kendall that a lot of people got confused by that road, the one they took, as it was the only one before the one they are actually supposed to turn onto. It was quite confusing when he explained it. Besides Kendall couldn't find it in him to care less, Logan was sick and needed help. Like the reason they took the road, would be on his mind.
When the headlights lit up the area his friends were at he was met with a sight he never wanted to ever see again.
James and Carlos were crying, sobbing actually over Logan. Kendall opened the car door and ran to them.
"W-what's…What's wrong?" He asked, already knowing.
Carlos didn't even turn away from Logan when he yelled at Kendall.
"Ken-He…Logan's not breathing!"
Yeah whatever this was originally supposed to be a one-shot but...Well that isn't really a word I use in my vocabulary. Review please! XD
