Logan, Carlos, and James rushed thorough the hospitals doors terrified. The silent, wide, open room almost empty, due to it being the early hours of the morning. Logan quickly went to the desk in the middle of the room, the other two boys closely following behind him.

"We need to find Kendall Knight," He said to the woman at the desk breathlessly.

The woman opened her mouth to say something, a bit overtaken by the boys' frantic movements and scared expressions. But before she said anything, an older woman stepped in, "He arrived about an hour ago. Follow me."

The boys nodded, all three of their hearts rapidly pacing, as they followed the woman to the steel elevator, practically running. They rode up the whole way in silence, besides James nervous shoe tapping on the floor. A habit Logan had took account of long ago.

Mrs. Knight had called Logan at about 11 PM; Katie, Kendall, and Mrs. Knight had gone out to dinner and to see a movie for a usual family night they had every once in a while, while the other's stayed in the apartment. Logan had answered her call carelessly, expecting the usual, "We'll be home soon, need anything?" until he heard the worry and panic in her voice.

"Logan.." she had said to him between sobs, "K-Kendall's on his way to to hospital in an ambulance...something terrible's happened."

Carlos and James had been laughing about something, but quickly stopped and the room become silent when they noticed Logan's expression.

Something terrible's happened...Her voice constantly rang through his ears, giving him chills.

And here they were. The elevator's large doors opened on the floor. They first saw Jo, Kendall's long time girlfriend, sitting In the waiting chair nervously. Her hands were holding on tightly to the chairs arms, as she shook slightly. A heartbreaking expression on her pale, tired face. Jo's gaze came over to them, and quickly jumped to her feet when she realized it was they had gotten here after the car ride that seemed like ages to the boys.

"Thank God," she said with strain in her voice, coming towards the boys. As she got closer, Logan noticed it looked like she had been crying. Which didn't help his nerves at all. She hugged each of the boys tightly before telling them softly, "They won't let us see him yet.

Jo rubbed her arms up and down nervously. "They're doing some testing in there.." they followed her gaze to a big white door to the left of them.

Just past Jo, Katie Knight was wrapped in her mothers arms, her face panic stricken and confused. Logan rushed to Mrs. Knight "What happened?"

"Kendall had a stoke. To make matters worse, he hit his head, and currently has a concision."

Logan suddenly became lightheaded. He felt the blood drain from his face and felt as if his legs were going to come out from under him. No.

Logan looked back at his friends with worry. Carlos looked like a lost puppy dog, like he would erupt in tears in any second. While James stood there with a almost expressionless face.

This wasn't right. Things like these didn't happen to Kendall.

"Excuse me," a tall man with graying hair said to Logan, Carlos, and James. "You've been with Kendall the last few days, correct?"

Logan gulped and nodded, "Yes, every day."

"Did he complain about any pain? Dizziness?" the man asked, pulling out a clip board and a pen.

"No...but he did seem to be acting unusual," Logan told to who he assumed to be the doctor. "He was acting...well, not like himself. He's been really tired and didn't really want to do anything."

The doctor nodded, then proceeded to write some things down.

"He said he was dizzy," Carlos piped in, talking for the first time since they had gotten the call about Kendall.

James nodded, "He was getting bad headaches."

"Since when?"

"Maybe last Tuesday?"

"Alright, boys, thanks," the doctor turned to leave, but Logan caught his arm.

"What's going on?" Logan asked. "What's going to happen to him?"

The doctor sighed and said to them in a hushed tone, "I'm not going to lie to you, boys. Things aren't looking too good. He isn't reacting well to the treatments we are currently giving him."

Logan gulped and his breathing became heavy. This was his fault. He should have noticed the signs. It was right under his nose, but he ignored everything. God, he was such an idiot. He could have stopped this. Logan blamed it all on himself.

"But...he's going to be okay, right?" James said to the doctor as more as a statement than a question.

"We'll just have to wait and see."

Logan felt like he was going to throw up.

Logan sat in the waiting room with the others for about another hour or so, rubbing his hands together nervously in complete silence. The doctor finally allowed Mrs. Knight into Kendall's room. She squeezed Katie's hand, who was sleeping by now, then slowly made her way to room 213. Jo, Carlos, Logan, and James all watched her closely as she walked to the door.

Then, about twenty minutes after that, everyone else could enter.

Logan shakily stood up and gulped. As he walked to the door with the others, he kept repeating in his head, He's going to be okay. He's Kendall. Kendall's always okay.

When they got to the door, Logan squeezed his eyes shut before opening them in the hospital room. His heart sank, he felt as if he was going to pass out.

Kendall lay infront of them in a hospital bed. Pale and looking so fragile. There were tubes all over him. Logan would have guessed he was dead aside from the beeping machine next to Kendall, beeping.

Logan heard Carlos whimper in fear next to him, and watched James keep a straight face while he blinked rapidly, trying to get rid of tears, he guessed.

This is not happening.

Jo about collapsed next to him, but James caught her and kept her standing as she flung her hand over her mouth. Mrs. Knight kept her gaze away, looking in the corner of the room.

Logan was glad Katie wasn't awake to see her big brother like this; the boys couldn't even handle it.

Kendall was their leader. He always was. Everyone looked up to him. But now he was laying so lifeless and vulnerable in that hospital bed, not making a single movement. Seeing Kendall just made Logan even more guilty.

For an hour or so, the boys were all scattered around the room. Logan and Carlos would play games or just talk, Logan felt like it was his responsibility to keep him going, seeing how he'd already failed Kendall and had to become the new leader. But James, on the other hand, didn't say a word. He just sat in a chair in the corner with a stern face and his arms crossed, not saying a single word.

Jo sat in a chair next to Kendall's bed. Tightly gripping his hand and crying at the sight of her weak boyfriend.

The whole situation was so surreal to Logan. Like it was a dream. But it wasn't.

"Excuse me," a nurse said, entering the room and making the boys jump a bit, "Visiting hours are over. I'm sorry."

Mrs. Knight nodded and stood up, swallowing hard and taking a deep breath. "Jo, honey. I'll drive you home. Boys, I got us a room in the hotel next door so we can visit tomorrow, I'll meet you there. Let's go."

They all nodded and agreed, Logan walked behind the others.

"Um, Momma Knight? I'm going to stay just for another minute. I'll be out soon, I promise."

Mrs. Knight uttered him a small smile, "Take your time." She closed the door behind her, leaving Kendall and Logan in the dark hospital room.

Everything seemed creepier now that they were alone.

Logan gulped and looked down at Kendall, feeling like he could burst out in hysterics any second at the sight of him. He sat in the chair next to the bed.

"Hey buddy." Logan said to his friend. "You really did it this time, didn't you?"

It was weird; not having him respond.

"Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you tell me? I'm your best friend...When your mom called, we all about had a stro- or, uh, really freaked out. You know, your girlfriend's worried sick about you, man. And Katie's all torn up. I think she's taking it the hardest."

Logan tilted his head at Kendall, "But you're going to be okay. Kendall Knight's always okay."
