Chapter 6

James's P.O.V.

(3 Months Later) I wake up to the sound of Kendall throwing up. I get up and go to in his restroom. He his face is on the toilet seat and his hands are cupping the rim for balance. I go to help him up and after he stands he pushes me away. I go to the tub and turn on the water. After I got it warm enough I add some bubbles to it.

"Tomorrow you are going to the doctor. BOTH of you." I tell Kendall and Logan at breakfast. They couldn't hold any food down at first. Now Logan can only stomach fruits, vegetables, and some meat. Kendall is the same way except he throws up if he is anywhere near ribs. I think Kendall caught the bug from Logan. Since it's a Saturday we all get on different couches and cuddle. Katie comes with her little boyfriend in all purple. I don't trust him at all. He knows how we are and I don't care, he not stupid enough to open up his mouth about it. He and Katie have been going out for two months and he hasn't told her about Purple Wayne's. So I'm guessing that he likes her. I don't care though because if Wayne Wayne's brother hurt her…. It will be hell to pay. Anyway they come in and ask what we are watching.

"We're watching an old movie." Kendall said while curling into me.

"What is the name of the movie?" Katie asked again.

"Well we are watching High School High. Then we will watch All About The Benjamin's, Taken, Takers, and we will finish off with 2 scary movies." Logan said. He motioned toward the chair telling them to sit. She sits on the couch across from us.

"Come on Josh. They won't bite." She said smiling at him. He mumbled something about us shooting but he sat down next to Katie. About 30 minutes into the movie we hear this fakes as yawn and see him put his arm around Katie's shoulder. Katie looked at him and they both turned crimson red. Kendall and Logan giggled. Carlos pulls Logan a little closer but Logan is not havin' it. Carlos and Logan got into a fight yesterday because Carlos thought Dak was to close for comfort. Logan told him he was over-reacting and to get over himself. They ended up having rough sex because we heard it last night. Logan went from "Fuck you Carlos." to "Fuck me Papi." Carlos whispers in Logan's ear and he turns a rosy pink and curls up next to Carlos.

"I love you" I whisper into a sleeping Kendall's ear. He slept through maybe 2 movies and woke up right before Taken ended. At around 10:30 p.m. Josh went home and I carried Kendall upstairs, who fell asleep in my arms once more. After a while my eyelids start to feel heavy and I gently drift off to La La Land.

I awake to a door slamming shut and low sobs. I put on my sweat pants, open my door and look around the hall. My eyes land on Carlos and he is just as confused as I am. We both descend slowly down the stairs to see Logan and Kendall holding each other and sobbing uncontrollably into each other's arms. I run to Kendall and pull him into my arms to calm him down. He struggles before willingly coming into my arm.

"Baby what's wrong? What did the doctor say?" Carlos asks bewildered.

I look back and forth between Kendall and Logan. They both shake their heads 'no' like they don't want to tell us. I want to press the issue but my phone rings and I get interrupted.

"What?" I hiss into my phone.

"James we got a problem." Jett answered.

"Hold on Jet."

I let go of Kendall and walk into the kitchen. He looks at me like a wounded deer caught in front of a headlight. I turn around and continue my conversation.

"Continue." I demand.

"Wayne Wayne hit up one of our houses this morning and there were casualties." Jett stated in a grim tone.

"How many?" I ask just as Carlos comes into the kitchen.

"We lost 15 men today."

"FUCK!" I curse to myself.

"What do you want us to do?" Jett asks and sounds like he's afraid of the answer.

"Go get our shit back within 3 hours." I tell Jett before I hang up.

"A man, that was fucked up how you brushed Kendall off like that. Kendall and Logan need us right, even if we don't know why."Carlos says with a stern expression on his face.

"Hhmm, I guess you're right."

"Okay let go and make some more money." Carlos said as he put on his shoes and left out the door.

"Actually our safe house was raided by the Purple Wayne's this morning. So we have to go get our shit back. ASAP!" I tell Carlos when I finally close the door behind me.

"What do you mean raided?" and to my surprise it's not Carlos. We turn to our left and see Katie staring with her arms crossed and foot tapping.

"Well!" She says with a little agitation because we stood there for almost 5 minutes in complete.

"W-Why are you out so early Katie?" Carlos asks her.

"Mama wasn't feeling well so I went to get her some medicine." She explains while holding up a CVS bag.

"Don't change the subject. You said something about a raid and Purple Wayne's, but Purple Wayne's is a ga—"she pauses and looks at us like we're disgusting.

"So you're part of a gang, huh?" She wasn't talking to us at this point but I still answered.

"Yeah, we are. We are the founders and active leaders of our gang." I tell her, finally founding my voice for the first time since I turned and saw Katie's face.

"What's the name of the gang?" Katie asks. She is staring at the cement and biting on her lower lip.

"Katie I don't think-"

Katie interrupts me. "Just TELL me." She all but screams at me and Carlos sighs, with his thumb and index finger at the bridge of his nose.

"Crazy 8" Carlos tell Katie

"What?" She looked so shocked and hurt.

"Crazy 8" I repeat because Carlos looks like he's about to die from a broken heart. She turns and sprints towards the door.

"Grab her Carlos!"I yell but Carlos already had her before I could tell him to.

"Katie can you- Katie will you STOP!" I yell and she pauses and looks back at us.

"Do Kendall and Logan know?"

Suddenly my Converses were interesting. After a full minute of silence Carlos answers with a no and he lets her go.

"I'm telling them then." Katie tells us while making her way to the door.

"WAIT!" Carlos and I yell in unison. She stops at the door and looks at us.

"Why should I wait? What's stopping me from telling them?" Her voice cracks because she's crying.

"What happened to you had nothing to do with us. I swear and when you told us it was one of our men-"

"I don't want to hear it" Katie interrupts me.

"Can you at least them ourselves?" Carlos asks in a desperate tone. She tilts her head from side to side. Kendall does that to when he's thinking. So, she's weighting her options.

"Alright." She finally speaks after eons of waiting. I let out a breath I didn't notice I was holding. Carlos picks her up and swings her around a couple of times.

"But…" Oh here we go. I knew there would be a catch. I just knew it wouldn't be this easy.

"You have to tell them by noon tomorrow." With that she goes into the house.

"Noon." Carlos whispered so low I'm surprised I heard it.

"Tomorrow." I whisper to myself. My worst fear might come true: Kendall leaving me.
