Logan escorted her back inside, extending an arm for her to grab. He had a smile on his face as he felt comfort and relief wash over him. Sure he was still greatly worried for everyone but he felt at east for the time being, knowing that someone was there with him. He knew it would be a long night and since he wasn't much of a sleeper anyway, he might ask some questions and get to know Katie a little bit. For now though, he had to answer the rest of the medical staffs questions.

Katie was left alone in the emergency room, not much activity at this hour. She stretched out on a row of chairs to lay down for a bit but inevitably fell asleep. She woke up a few hours later as the ER got busy. She was exhausted and didn't want to move but she started to remember what went on last night and as she looked at her surroundings, it was difficult to ignore.

"Morning." Logan's voice said. She looked around before looking up. Sitting next to her on the row of chairs was an equally tired Logan. He had been up all night no doubt. She remember that he had asked her to stay with him and was about to apologize for falling asleep on him but he cut her off. "I took longer than I thought with the doctors. They had a lot of questions about my friends. Don't worry about falling asleep, I understand how tired you must have been." he said with a smile as he stroked her hair.

She got up on her elbows and yawned before getting up the rest of the way and stretching out all the kinks she acquired from her night on the chairs.
"Any news?" she asked

"Nothing so far. Carlos and Kendall have been in surgery most of the night. They were pretty banged up, I don't know about James." he explained. Katie just nodded, she had forgotten about the role she was playing about not knowing who everyone was but luckily she didn't know what to say. "I'm guessing if Kendall made it this far, it's all thanks to you/" he continued. She looked up at him. "Kendall's the blonde."

"Oh, ok." she replied

"I heard the doctors saying he was in bad shape and that time was running out, just as you said. If he doesn't make it I don't blame the hospital or you. I'll blame Tom first, that bastard…I cant believe him!" Logan said getting flustered.

"It's Ok, Logan. I know I cant understand what you're going through but just think about your friends. Being angry wont help anyone." she soothed.

"I know…I'm normally not like this but those guys are like my brothers. We've come so far, living the dream, you know?" he said looking at her, eyes wide. His eyes hit her like a ton of bricks. They were always full of emotion when he sang, like he was singing to just her alone and no one else. This was no different, his eyes were full of truth and there was nothing fake about him. Despite being in a 'manufactured' band/TV show, he was true to himself.

"Uh, are you ok?" he asked, waving his hand in front of her.

"Huh? Oh…Yeah! I'm fine, golden." she waved off, embarrassed.

"Ok then…" he said raising a brow.

"By the way, Logan," she began trying to keep the conversation going and away from her near fan girling experience. "What is it you do?"

"Oh, I'm in a boy band. It's called Big Time Rush."

"I think I've heard of it. It's on Network TV right?"

"Yes, the show is. We actually play different characters on the show, it's based on our lives and experiences but we have different personalities and lifestyles on the show." he explained.

"I see. That must be cool though, singing and acting all together."

"It is, opens up a whole new world when you have all these options."

"I've heard the music on and off and its catchy I must admit. I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to music; I like pun rock or alternative music with lyrics on life or hardships. Not pop or dance songs on love but your songs…breathtaking." she semi-swooned.

"Well, thanks. Good to know how wide our fan base is. We write most of the songs so we all have different sounds. " Logan explained. "You know, I'm glad you stayed with me. We havent done much talking but I think you're a sweet, patient and kind hearted girl. Not too many people would stop in the middle of the night to explore a seemingly abandoned bus and then perform first aid on people she didn't know."

"Well, I did run into the bus, not hard just enough to bust my headlight. Plus I had my- OH MY GOD! SHADOW!" she gasped getting up.

'Whoa, whoa! Hang on there, I took care of your pup. I paid for a relaxing stay at a nearby kennel, its just up the street. He was sound asleep in your car when I checked on him after my chat with the doctors and it was a cool night so he was comfortable. I paid for it, end of story, so don't worry about it." He smiled.

"Thank you so much, Logan!" she said, sitting back down. "I could hug you!"

"Go for it!" He said with open arms. She accepted his invite and squeezed him hard; he hugged her back, enjoying the feeling of this much needed interaction.
"Carlos Garcia?" A nurse called out. Logan and Katie immediately got up and went over to the nurse. "Hi are you family?"

"Friends, his family isn't here." Katie said.

"I didn't think to call them, none of our parents are here, we're on tour." Logan said softly

"Oh, you're the bus accident case then, OK, follow me!" she said hurriedly. She brought them into the ER and into a room where James was sleeping comfortably, as was Jack the guitarist, his foot already cast. The nurse pointed to a chair and Logan offered it to her and the nurse brought him one from another room. They didn't talk much, letting the 2 patients sleep and just waited for the nurse or someone else to come in and chat with them. It was a while before someone came though and both of them eventually fell asleep while waiting. Medical staff did come in to speak with them but saw them sleeping and left them alone, it was a rough night for everyone and any sleep they could get was more than welcome at this point.

Katie was just coming out of her near unconscious state when she was jolted by the sound of a door shutting. Her eyes shot open and she looked around but didn't see anything and figured it was a dream or something. She saw the familiar sites of the hospital and Logan asleep next to her; head against the wall and hands folded in front of him. James and Jack were still out like lights, more comfortable than she was but at least every one was ok, well at least for right now. No telling what condition Carlos and Kendall were in. Full of thought, she was startled when the door opened. A nurse brought in someone else, he looked familiar but she had no idea who he was, she hadn't seen him at the crash site but maybe it was the drummer?

"Who are you?" he asked cautiously. Katie put a hand to her lips to quiet him, motioning to Logan who was still asleep. She got up and went outside with him so they could talk.

"My name is Katie and I'm the one who was on the bus. I bumped into the crashed bus and investigated to find your friends in pretty bad shape. I really do mean no harm, in fact I didn't plan on staying but Logan asked me too. When he wakes up you can ask him yourself." she explained.

"Alright, I will. Cant be too careful, I hope you understand. These guys have some crazy fans and they come out of nowhere." he replied

"No problem, I've heard many fan stories from all kinds of artists so trust me, I know how crazy some people can get." she said with a smile

"Have you heard anything so far?"

"No actually, Logan and I were in the waiting room and they called Carlos' name then brought us back here and I guess while we were waiting we both fell asleep. We didn't get much sleep last night, in fact I don't think Logan slept at all."

"That sounds like him." he smiled. "What about James and Jack?"

"I don't know anything on them either but I believe the two of them are in the best condition out of everyone. James got a good bump to his noggin and he was disoriented and confused when I first spoke to him; had no idea who Logan was when I asked him."

"He looks better now though, all cleaned and patched up…he actually looks like James now…." he sighed looking through the glass at his friends. He saw Katie look at him and then through the glass as well. "I'm Garrett by the way."

"Nice to meet you Garrett." She smiled. Her blue eyes and her smile had a calming effect over Garrett and he felt at ease despite the surrounding events and what not. Maybe this was why Logan kept her around, maybe she really was a genuine person. She was a stranger still and their trust was far from built but something about her….just made everything feel alright.

Seeing Katie awake, medical staff called the attending doctor to the room. He arrived quickly, glad to see someone awake.

"Alright, let's get down to business, shall we?" he said rather pushy but with a half smile. "Mr. Diamond suffered a concussion, a good one too. He'll have to stay here for a few days to be tested and examined. He was dazed, confused and we weren't receiving the reactions we should have been. Mr. Lardner has a simple broken foot and was by far the easiest case out of this whole group. He can go home as soon as he wakes up, in fact he's already been discharged hours ago."

"Is James going to be ok?" Garrett asked.

"Not sure either way. I mean he will survive, I just don't know what kind of damage, if any he might have. He could have temporary or permanent brain damage such as cognitive function or reasoning, short/long term memory loss or even full blown amnesia." The doctor replied

"What about his friends, Kendall and Carlos?" Katie asked

"Hmm…Let me see here…. Oh yes right here. Carlos is still in surgery, he has several broken bones so it'll be some time as everything is fixed. Depending on his recovery, he should be as good as new but it will be about a year before he can get back to whatever work it is that he does. He was in a lot of pain which is good, he seems to have an injury to the spine so his lower half has a delayed response or no response at all to touch but as long as he feels pain, there is hope of him being able to walk again." he explained. He let it sink in before continuing on to Kendall who was in the worse shape of them all. "Mr. Knight, I'm afraid, is in bad shape. We have done all we could but its up to him now."

"If he had gotten here earlier, would it have made a difference?" Logan asked from the door. Katie and Garrett looked back in surprise that he was awake and at his question.

"Yes." came the doctor's reply. Katie's heart sank at his response.

"That bastard…" Logan said. "Garrett, where is he?"

"That's what I came here to tell you but you were asleep. He was being held by police after you called him out and while being arrested he had a heart attack. He was rushed here to the hospital but he died on the table about 2 hours ago…" he said solemnly. Logan was quiet for a moment, his gaze not leaving Garrett. He was hurt but remained strong.

"Whatever. I cant forgive him until Kendall walks out of here alive, Carlos walks out on his own and James gets his memory back. If everything works out, then maybe I can forgive him and care enough to send my condolences, for right now, he deserved it!" He snapped, walking back inside.

"Logan…" Katie tried but stopped herself. It wasn't her place to get involved.

"My….I've never seen that reaction before." The doctor snubbed.

"It's a long story." Garrett said.

"I see. This must have been some big accident you had. Although you don't seem to be scratched up or dirty at all m'dear. Let me guess, you were driving?" He said looking down on her in a condescending tone.

"Actually I wasn't. I was the attending first responder." She said, making him eat his words.

"Dude, that was uncalled for." Garrett said, defending Katie.

"I apologize. I've seen many cases of teens and young adults that have gotten into accidents and the person who caused it usually walks away unharmed." the doctor replied.

"Our bus was already cross ways the road, when she hit us in her own car. She was already going slow, so there was no damage. Out of the 10 of us on board, 7 of us made it out alive. We all would have been fine if Tom hadn't tricked us into evacuating. I should have known something was up when he was taking just a few of us." Garrett said frustrated.

"How did your friends die?" The doctor asked.

"Tom, the guy who just died from the heart attack, checked everyone after the crash and whoever wasn't bleeding and awake, he forced off the bus. He told us to get off because the bus was at an odd angle. He said the others were off already and we had to go find them." Garrett explained. "We walked for several minutes and saw no trace of them and when we tried calling out to the others, Tom told us to be quiet. I never would have guessed that he was just trying to save his skin by saving as many of us as he could and leaving the others to die!" He continued, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I'm sorry for your losses…" the doctor said, this time he seemed genuine despite his gruff attitude over the last several minutes.

The doctor left them to themselves. Garrett and Katie returned to the room where Logan waited in despair. His head was in his hands, face red and puffy. He had been crying, that was obvious. Logan was trying to settled himself knowing the duo would be back any minute. They saw him having a moment and waited outside. Katie knew Logan's personality and new he was always the strong one; he felt bad enough as it was and she didn't want him to feel worse by making him feel like he had exposed himself as some sort of wuss.
