Okay guys, this story is a sad one so if you don't like sad stories, then I still think you should read this anyways because I am proud of this one. Seriously though, I had a hard time writing it because the thought of it happening is horrible. Anyway I hope you enjoy this new story.

"Kendall, the doctor is here to see you now," the nurse spoke loudly. Kendall slowly got up and walked towards the small room where the doctor stood.

"Kendall, from the looks of these tests, and all the bad headaches you have told us about, there is only one way to say this. Kendall, you have cancer."

Kendall looked at the doctor in shock. Then he heard the door open and he saw his wonderful friends looking at him. He smiled, but not for long. "Guys," Kendall whispered.

"I got it, Kendall," the doctor assured while patting Kendall's back. Kendall put his head down and looked at his feet while the doctor explained the tragic event that had happened. Then, the boys came closer to Kendall, all putting their heads down and hugging each other. They tried to hold back the tears for Kendall, but they just couldn't do it. Kendall's world, along with his friends', had shattered.

There were still more people to tell, but Kendall couldn't do it. His mom would break down and what about Katie? She had always looked up to her big brother. How would she react? Tears nearly ran down her face whenever the guys had to go on tour; Kendall having a slim chance of living would be terrifying to see. What about Gustavo and Kelly? Not having one of the boys would be the end of Big Time Rush. Then what would the rest of the boys do? All these thoughts ran through Kendall's mind. Those thoughts turned into tears, and those tears turned into tighter hugs.

"Wait," Logan broke the silence, "is there anything that can be done or is he just a lost case?"

"I can run the test again, and we can give him some medicine. It is too early right now to see if he will make it or not, so I don't want to make any predictions yet."

"See guys, it will be okay," Carlos stated in an attempt to cheer everyone up a bit. It was hard to do considering what was going on at the moment.

"Doctor, can I speak with you for a second?" Logan questioned.

"Sure. Let's go into this room over here," The doctor invited.

"I will be back in a second you guys," Logan stated.

While Logan went to talk to the doctor, Kendall, James, and Carlos sat in silence. Right until Carlos broke it.

"Okay, maybe-" Carlos started to say.

"No, Carlos! It's not going to be okay. I have cancer for crying out loud, and there is no way to make everything better like corndogs and helmets." Carlos was surprised at Kendall's words, but he understood why he was like that.

"Sorry, Carlos," Kendall apologized, realizing he shouldn't have lashed out on his friend the way he did.

"It's okay, Kendall," Carlos forgave.

"Guys, I am scared. I don't want this life to end. It was just getting better. I love this life, and I don't want it to end so soon." Tears started rushing down all three boys' faces and nobody knew what to say or do to make anything better.

With Logan and the doctor:

"Yes, Logan, what do you need? Any questions?" Logan stood there, and then he fell to his knees and started crying. His head was buried in his hands and he started to mumble words the doctor could not understand. The doctor just stood there and began trying to bring him some comfort.

"Logan, calm down. Now try saying that again." Logan slowly began regaining his composure, stood up, and apologized.

"I'm sorry, doctor, I just had to hold it in for Kendall. I do have a question, though."

"Yes, what is it?"

"Is it really too early to tell if he will live? Or is it just too early for you to tell us that he won't survive?" Logan questioned.

The doctor stopped and stared at Logan.

"Well? Which is it?" Logan questioned angrily.

"When I looked at the test results, I could tell he doesn't have much time, but I still can't tell how much time he does have. I'm sorry."

"Sorry? You say you're sorry and that's it! My friend is out there probably crying his eyes out because he thinks he is going to die! All you can say is that you are sorry?"

"Logan, please." Logan started to pull up a fist, but James stopped him as he rushed into the room.

"Logan, what are you doing?" James inquired.

"That doctor said Kendall probably didn't have very long to live, and all he said was that he was sorry. For one, he lied. Two, didn't even said he would try anything to help."

"Logan, calm down...for Kendall. We want to stay strong for him, right?" Just at that time, Kendall and Carlos walked in.

"What are you two talking about?" Kendall asked, completely oblivious to the situation at hand between Logan and the doctor.

Logan gave James a worried look, not wanting to tell his best friend that he wouldn't be alive much longer. James didn't want to deliver the news to his friend, either, but he didn't want to lie.

"It's nothing you need to worry about, Kendall," James assured.

The only problem was that James wasn't completely sure that Kendall shouldn't be worrying yet.

"Okay," Kendall uttered, unsure if his friends were telling the truth.

"Now you guys should probably get going. If you would like, you can come in tomorrow if you have any questions or if you just want to talk," the doctor explained. Logan looked down at his feet when the doctor mentioned coming just to talk. He knew he was talking about him.

"Thank you, doctor," James replied. Then the boys walked out of the room slowly and stayed quiet until, again, Carlos broke the silence.

"How are we going to tell everyone? Especially your mom and Katie." The boys looked at each other and frowned. This day just couldn't get any worse. They all walked into the elevator and they stood quiet. No fighting over pushing the button. No racing to see who was last in. Just…quiet. The doors opened, and the boys stepped out of the elevator and walked out of the hospital.

"I don't want to tell them, guys. I don't want to crush them," Kendall informed with tears filling his eyes.

"I'll tell them," Logan assured.

"No, I will," James stated.

"Let's all tell them. Guys, we are in this together," Carlos suggested.

"He's right," James said.

"We are all here for you man," Logan assured while patting Kendall on the back. Then, the boys walked home, each of them thinking of what to say when it was time. Well, all of them but Logan. All he could think about was what the doctor said. "When I looked at the test results, I knew he didn't have much time..." One of his best friends doesn't have much time. Never would he have imagined would it be this soon. He knew it would have to come sometime, but he always thought it would be when they were eighty. Not when they were still young.

This is too soon, Logan thought to himself.

They arrived at the Palm Woods, and they all exchanged looks showing they were all both worried and nervous. They walked in passing everyone without a smile.

"Hey, guys," Camille greeted. The boys just passed her by, not wanting to tell anyone else about the tragic news they had received today. Their focus was Mrs. Knight and Katie.

When Camille tried to get their attention, Logan finally said, "Camille, there is something I have to tell you. Kendall... Kendall has cancer. The doctor confirmed it today." Camille just stood in shock. The same way everyone else had when they heard the news. "Now Camille, you can't tell anyone else yet. We don't want it getting to Mrs. Knight and Katie before we get to them."

"Okay, Logan," Camille replied.

Then the boys continued their, what seemed longer than what it was, journey to their home. Once they got out of the elevator, they walked down to their apartment. They all stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath. They walked in and Katie started jumping up and down. She had news for them. Great news to be exact.

"Hey guys! I have great news. You want to hear it?"

"Sure, Katie. What's the big news?" James replied, not wanting to stop Katie from being so happy.

"So, you know this game I have been working on for quite some time now right?"

"Yeah," James replied.

"Well, I just beat the whole game! I beat it just this morning when you guys left. Hey, where did you guys go anyway?" Katie questioned.

"Katie, we were at the hospital," Logan informed, not letting James be the one to have to say the bad news.

"What for? What's wrong?" Katie questioned.

"Katie, your brother... Kendall has cancer," Carlos whispered. Tears filled Katie's eyes. She looked at her brother and rushed to his arms holding him tighter than ever. Kendall slowly placed his hands on his sister.

"Don't cry, Katie. Please don't cry," Kendall begged. He hated to see Katie cry. It didn't matter if it was because she had scraped her knee or if it was because of news as tragic as this. Kendall hated to be the cause of her tears now.

"How am I not supposed to cry, Kendall?" Katie asked, her voice barely audible.

"I'm going to be just fine. I promise, I'm not going to give up on this fight. We both know how stubborn I am," Kendall laughed, trying to lighten the mood. "Besides, you beat that game! That's something to smile about, isn't it?"

"Forget the game, it doesn't matter. Kendall, please, please agree to do whatever the doctor says you should do. He knows what's best and he's going to help you get rid of the cancer. Take the medicines, stay in bed, and take the treatments. If you ever think about not going through with them, remember it's for me, alright?"

Kendall put his hands on his sister's shoulders and got down on his knees to look right into her eyes. Kendall motioned for his friends to join him and his sister. Once they were all joined together, Kendall looked right into Katie's eyes. "This is my official promise that I will do everything I possibly can to get rid of this cancer." Kendall stuck out his pinky and Katie did the same. They locked fingers and counted to three, a ritual that they had done since Kendall was seven and Katie was three.

Kendall moved over to his three brothers and smiled. "This is my official promise to you guys that I'm not going to argue with the doctor over anything." Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan all did the secret handshake they created when they were five.

They all gathered together and began walking towards the room where Mrs. Knight stayed. What Kendall dreaded to do, tell his mom he has cancer. "Kendall, the doctor is here to see you now," the nurse spoke loudly. Kendall slowly got up and walked towards the small room where the doctor stood.

Did you like it? I hope so, because like I said before, I am really proud of this one! Well now it is time for fun facts!

-I know what you were probably thinking. "Why Kendall? Does she hate Kendall or something?" The answer is no. I do not hate Kendall, and I chose him because he is the pretty much the leader of the group and now the other boys will probably have no idea what to do without him.

- Another HUGE thanks to beautywithbrains for helping me with this story.

-I had a very hard time writing this. Not because I was out of ideas, but because I was getting very emotional.

That's all the fun facts for today folks. Thanks for reading, and I will try to get chapter two up as quick as possible.
