skipping forward a few years. the boys are now fourteen (they were 9 or 10 before) so they are in 9th grade(: awe,they are freshmen :) haha
Logan and Kendall sat together in science. They had every class together. James and Carlos had all there classes together. They had one more hockey game left of the season in a week. It was the finals and all Kendall could talk about.
"Can you believe it? We made it to the finals! And-"
"Yes, Kendall, I know. This is about the fifty millionth time you have told me. And I was there, remember?" Logan whispered before continueing to take notes.
"Im sorry," Kendall said. "Im just excited."
"I know," Logan said, smiling at him. Kendall looked at his smaller friend as he returned to taking notes. Logan was wearing a baggy black sweatshirt and blue jeans. That was usually what he wore on the weekends only. Logan always looked nice for school. He looked paler than usual and his hand was shaking as he took more notes.
"Are you okay?" Kendall asked when the teacher gave them the last five minutes of class to talk.
"Im just tired," Logan said before breaking off into a coughing fit.
"You sure?" Kendall asked.
Logan nodded and instantly regretted it. His head throbbed and his vision blurred. He took a few deep breaths to clear his head. When his vision cleared, he saw Kendall looking at him worriedly.
"You look like your going to pass out, Logan," Kendall said.
"Im fine, really," Logan said, putting on a fake smile. Kendall didnt buy it but he didnt press further. Logan was probably catching a cold. They always hit him hard.
The bell rang and Logan and Kendall walked to their lockers together. They stood there, waiting for James and Carlos. Kendall was listening to James and Carlos talk about how they had made their expierment explode in science when it happened. Logan had been behind Kendall, leaning against the lockers, trying to keep his head clear but the constant banging of lockers killed his head. Suddenly, he crumpled to the floor.
"Logan, are you okay?" Carlos and James said at the same time. Kendall spun around to see Logan lying on the floor.
"Get a teacher!" he exclaimed, crouching by Logan, who was unconsious. James ran off and returned a few minutes later with a teacher. She called 911 and told the boys to go home. They refused.
"One of you can stay," she finally said. "Only one."
They all agreed that Kendall should stay so James and Carlos went home with worried expressions on their faces.
***at the hospital***
Kendall was sitting by Logan's parents in the waiting room when the doctor walked out.
"Parents of Logan Mitchell?" he called. Logan's parents stood and Kendall followed.
"We ran some blood tests," the doctor said. "Logan has a severe case of pneumonia."
"Pneumonia?" his mom exclaimed, starting to panick. So many children lost their lives to pneumonia.
"Logan has a good chance, Mrs. Mitchell. He is awake now if you would like to see him. But I must warn you he is very weak and is throwing up a lot. Be gentle. No hugs or anything. I would prefer if you didnt touch him at all...besides holding his hand."
Logan's parents nodded and scurried into Logan's room. Kendall followed more slowly, giving them a moment. When he walked in, he saw Logan lying in the bed looking deathly pale. His usual bright, lively, brown eyes were dull and black. He was shivering and sweating at the same time. The room reeked of puke. Kendall's phone buzzed to see that James was calling him. He stepped out of the room.
"Hey," Kendall said quietly.
"Hey! Any news? Whats going on?" James demanded. Kendall could hear Carlos in the background argueing with James's sister. (I decided to give him a sister xD)
"He has pneumonia, James," Kendall said.
"But he's going to be okay...right?" James asked. Kendall heard Carlos and James's sister stop argueing.
"I hope so, James," Kendall said. "The doctor said his chances are good but he just looks bad."
"Do you think Carlos and I could come down to visit?" James asked.
"Im sure he would love that," Kendall said and hung up. He watched Logan's parents walk out and over to him.
"Do you mind staying with him while we go get some coffee? He's asleep right now and we are working on a huge case."
"I don't mind at all," Kendall said, smiling. He walked into Logan's room. Logan looked too uncomfortable to be asleep.
"I know you are faking," Kendall said. Logan's eyes opened and what Kendall scared him.
