Hey ya'll! Thanks to all who reviewed! I honestly did not expect the responce I got, so thank you. You all rock my socks off!
Disclaimer: Yeah, I brought BTR last week. Didn't you hear? Yeah, they're all chilling in my living room. We're gonna hang out later. In case you haven't caught on, I'm just kidding. I don't own Big Time Rush.
Kendall, Carlos, and Logan let James sleep for an hour, but couldn't take much longer. While Logan and Carlos got everything ready and informed Mrs. Knight of where they were going, Kendall went to get James up.
Kendall walked quietly into their bedroom and sat down on James' bed. He shook him gently. "James? C'mon, buddy, we're getting ready to head out."
James moaned and put the pillow over his head.
"Do you still want to come with us?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a sec," came James' muffled response. "I'll meet you in the lobby."
"No, it's ok, we'll wait for you."
James nodded his head and sat up. Kendall couldn't help but noticed the dark circles under his eyes, but brushed it off as nothing.
James stood up from his bed and went over to his closet where he kept his hockey gear. He also got a shirt and pants from his dresser.
"Um, Kendall?" James said.
"Yeah, James? What is it?" Kendall said, maybe too eagerly.
"Can you maybe, oh I don't know, leave so I can get dressed?"
"Oh. Yeah, ok." Kendall sounded a bit disappointed and James noticed.
"Is everything ok?"
"Uh-huh. But you do know that you can talk to me about anything, right? Logan and Carlos too."
"Yeah, I know."
"Good, now hurry up and get dressed," Kendall said as he left the room.
James chuckled. He did feel a little guilty about not telling Kendall what was going on, but he was sure that he would be fine by tomorrow. He was James Diamond, after all.
"Same rules as always?" Kendall said to his three best friends once they got to the hockey rink.
"Two against two? First to twenty-one?" Logan said with a smirk.
"Me and Kendall and Logan and James?" Carlos said with a grin.
"All right, we get five minutes for team meetings and then… LET THE GAMES BEGIN!" Kendall shouted and the two teams went to the opposite sides of the rink.
Once there, the huddled together and came up with their separate plays.
"I'll do a fake and skate past James then you try to hold back Logan so he can't catch me. If he does get past, I'll just pass to you for the goal," Kendall said to Carlos.
"Ok," Carlos said back.
Over at the other end of the rink, Logan was unusually doing all the talking. "Ok, so Carlos usually guards me and Kendall guards you. So, I'll get the puck and crossover skate, that usually works on Carlos. That means that Kendall will come up to guard me and I'll pass to you and you can score."
"Sounds good," James said.
"Are you sure you're up to this? I mean, we can just go home and do this some other time," Logan said.
"Nah, I'm good. Besides, this is the first day off we've had in months. Who knows when we'll get another chance to do this?"
"If you're sure… But if you're not feeling good or something, just stop."
"Calm down, Logan. I'm fine! How many times do I have to say that?"
"Alright, if you're sure you'll ok…"
"I am sure. Now, let's go kick their butts!"
James skated off and Logan reluctantly followed. He wasn't quite sure he believed James, but he figured that if James really thought he couldn't do this, he would say so. Wouldn't he?
"Are you ladies ready to be beaten?" Kendall said as they met in the middle of the rink.
"The question, my friend, is are you ready to be beaten by us?" James said back.
"Well, well, well. Such strong words from such a weak little girl."
"I'm going to make you eat those words, Knight!"
"Bring it, Diamond!"
"Oh, I will!"
"Can we please just start the game?" Logan said, sounding very annoyed.
"Very well, let the games begin!" Kendall yelled.
So, they started their usual game. Kendall and Carlos make a few quick points but struggle to get more, and Logan and James make points throughout the game. It was tied, twenty, twenty, after they had been playing for about forty-five minutes. That's when Logan noticed James was slowing down.
Logan skated up to James. "You ok? You seem kinda tired."
James was feeling extremely tired and just a bit dizzy, but wasn't about to admit it. "I'm fine, Logan! I'm ok!"
Logan didn't look convinced. "Are you sure? You look a little pale."
"It's probably because it's so cold. I'm fine, let's just hurry up and score the last point so we can get out of here."
Logan still wasn't convinced, but he didn't press James. Instead, he skated off in the opposite direction. Kendall and Carlos had the puck.
James skated up to Kendall to try to get the puck. Kendall dodged to the left and lightly pushed James, but then went skating off to the right. He didn't notice how that light push had sent James to the ground. James tried to get up, but was hit by a wave of dizziness and went back to the ground.
Kendall kept skating, but Logan saw how James wasn't getting up. He started skating towards him and Kendall passed to Carlos. Carlos shrugged it off when Logan didn't stop him and made the winning goal.
"Yeah!" Carlos yelled while throwing his arms up in the air. "Woo Hoo!"
"We won! We won! We won!" Kendall chanted.
Logan ignored them and knelt by James. "Are you ok, James? What's going on?"
By now, Kendall and Carlos realized that James wasn't getting up and starting skating over. They were over in just a few seconds.
"You alright, buddy?" Carlos said, slightly out of breath.
"What's wrong with him, Logan?" Kendall said, worry evident in his voice.
"I don't know. All I saw was that when you skated past him, he went down. He tried to get up, but couldn't."
Guilt immediately covered Kendall. He knew James wasn't that strong today, but he still pushed him. He pushed James down, this was all his fault!
Logansaw the guilt in Kendall's eyes. "It wasn't your fault, Kendall. But James, what's going on? Why can't you get up? Are you sick?"
James brought a hand to his head. "Nothing's wrong! I just… got a little dizzy for a minute. But I'm fine now, so can you all just drop it?"
"James, you're not fine!"
"Yes, I am! Can you just help me up?" James stuck out his arms and Kendall and Logan pulled him up, but didn't let go.
"C'mon, man, let's get you home," Kendall said, still holding on to James' arm.
James yanked his arms from his friends' hands. "I'm fine! I don't need your help!"
"Yes, you do, James!" Kendall yelled back.
"Who do you think you are? My mother?"
"James, just stop being so stubborn and let us help you!"
"I don't need anyone's help! I can take care of myself!" With that, James skated off, got his skates off, and stormed out of the hockey rink.
Well, someone's a bit too independent for his own good. But then again, Kendall didn't really handle it well. To be honest, when does Kendall ever handle anything well?
Ok, I know almost nothing about hockey, so I just used stuff that you use in basketball and put it in here. So, if you play hockey or you're a fan, I'm so sorry if their plays made no sense!
ANYWAYS, please review! Reviews make my day!
