Chapter six : )
"Kendall, are you sure we should be on the ice? It doesn't look to strong." A 15 year old Logan Mitchell called across one of Minnesota's frozen lakes.
The teen was standing on the snow covered ground watching his blond best friend skate around on the newly frozen over lake. It was barely into the months of the famed Minnesota winter. Logan didn't know if it was safe enough to skate on and he kept hearing his father's stern voice telling him to be careful on the ice. Logan knew he was smart and he knew this wasn't such a good idea but Kendall would never do something that could really hurt one of his best friends.
"Logan its fine, I promise now come on and enjoy it before James and Carlos get here!" Kendall yelled back to his pale friend.
Logan rolled his eyes and nodded before lacing up his ice skates. James and Carlos were stuck behind in detention for trying to sneak into the schools freezer. They wanted to start a snow fight in the hallways and Kendall and Logan refused to participate. It did them some good because they were skating while the other two were in detention for getting caught.
Logan wearily stepped onto the ice and let out a deep breath when the ice stayed still. "Told you!" Kendall said, laughing and skating in circles around the scared teen.
"Yeah yeah laugh it up; I'll be blaming you when we fall through." Logan growled playfully but started to skate around with his best friend.
It seemed like Logan had just fully relaxed when everything went wrong. Logan knew he shouldn't have shot so fast across the middle of the lake, especially when he could just see how thin the ice was but he did anyway. The sound of the ice cracking seemed to fill the air and make it seem louder than it truly was. However it was loud enough for Kendall to hear.
All the blond could do was watch in horror as the ice under Logan open up and swallow his best friend whole. "Logan!" Kendall yelled, praying his call would be answered and Logan would pop right back up. None of that happened.
Logan's head didn't resurface so Kendall did the only thing he could think of; he quickly tore off his skates and stood on shaky legs. As fast as he could while still being safe, Kendall walked over to where the gap in ice was. On his knees, Kendall crawled so he could peer into the icy water but all he saw was darkness. That spurred Kendall into action faster than someone could sneeze.
The teen ripped off his jacket and dived into the freezing water. The temperature of the water seemed to encase Kendall's chest making it feel like he'd never be able to breathe again. Yet in Kendall's mind, never breathing again was better than never seeing his best friend again.
Like an Olympic swimmer, Kendall kicked his feet so he could propel himself further into the lake. His eyes were open and he ignored the burning in favor of looking around for Logan. The teen could feel his body already begging for air but he refused, not till he had Logan.
You have air Kendall, just find Logan before he has no air. Kendall told himself and continued feeling and looking around for his best friend.
Just as Kendall was about to surface for more air, he saw the flash of metal and Kendall instantly knew it was Logan's skates. The teen propelled himself in that direction and latched onto Logan's bright red jacket. The cold was seeping into Kendall's bones but he refused to acknowledge his own needs. Pulling Logan up through the water was like pulling a couple slabs of cement but Kendall denied any thought of leaving Logan.
As soon as Kendall surfaced, hands grabbed at him and Logan. Kendall would have held onto Logan but he heard the voices and instantly recognized them. "Its okay Kendall I've got him." James' calm voice washed over him and he loosened his death grip on Logan.
Kendall opened his eyes to watch James drag Logan out of the water and Kendall shuttered when he caught sight of how blue Logan's lips were and the gash on his forehead. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around Kendall's torso and started pulling him from the water. Kendall held onto the warm arms and helped Carlos pull him out as he took deep, gasping breaths. The freezing air did no good for the chill in his bones but it helped relieve the burn in his lungs.
As soon as he was out of the freezing water, Kendall tried to rush over to where James was covering Logan with his jacket and making sure he was breathing. Carlos had other thoughts. "James has him now I need to make sure you don't freeze to death." He growled and forced Kendall out of his soaking wet shirt and surrounded Kendall in a warm jacket.
Kendall allowed Carlos to take care of him because for one; he was too cold to move and two; because he was too shocked at Carlos acting so mature. Yet Kendall still needed to know about Logan.
"Jjjamess iis hheee..." Kendall stuttered out through chattering teeth. James looked up at the pale blond and nodded.
"He's going to be fine Kendall. You kept your promise." James told the teen was a small smile that put Kendall to ease almost immediately. Logan would be okay, he'd live.
Logan doesn't know if he'd ever held onto his friends so hard in his entire seventeen years of living. Sure they've had their vulnerable moments where they needed to be in contact with one another but never this desperately. When Logan saw that elevator lurch, terror seemed to take away the ability to say anything besides his best friend's names. Logan hadn't been able to breathe, he hadn't been able to think, and he hadn't been able to move. Until he saw James yank Kendall out of the elevator faster than he ever had moved before.
Kendall's legs had barely cleared the opening before the elevator plummeted to God knows where. James wrapped his arms around Kendall's torso and pulled him away from the opening as fast as possible while the building still shook. Logan and Carlos had quickly crawled to James and Kendall and threw themselves next to the best friends they had almost lost. The four teens held onto to each other through the aftershock and the crumbling ceiling.
Logan tried to ignore the pain in his stomach as the debris began to fall but it was proving more difficult than he could have thought. The doctor in his head kept telling him he needed to get to help before it got infected and he lost anymore blood but right now his best friend's safety was more important than his own.
Carlos was trembling so much that Logan had a hard time deciding if it was from the aftershock or the plain fear. Kendall was breathing harshly and had contact with each oh his friends almost afraid that if he didn't they'd fade away. Even after a near death the leader and big brother in him still felt the need to protect them. James was as still as a stone but had a steel like grip on Kendall so there was no way he could come that close to dying once again.
Finally the shaking stopped leaving the four pop stars trembling and panting. They slowly loosened their grips on each other but didn't completely let go. Kendall quickly looked over each of his friends in turn. James was pale and slightly shaking but he had no new injuries. Carlos was trembling and looking more like a child than a grown teenager. Then his eyes fell onto Logan.
"Logan!" Kendall yelled just as he watched Logan's eyes roll back into his head and him go completely limp.
Carlos quickly caught the teen before he could face plant into the floor and rolled him over so Logan was lying on his back. James and Kendall went to their friend's side barely keeping their panic at calm. Carlos pulled the pale boys head into his lap while James clutched onto Logan's hand like a lifeline.
Kendall took a deep breath before pressing his fingers to Logan's neck just like he had taught all of them when they were kids. The blond could of cried out in relief when he felt Logan's pulse; weak but there. Kendall placed his hand on his best friends chest and felt his heartbeat and his weak breathing under his hands
"Is he breathing?" Carlos choked out looking up at Kendall with panic filled eyes.
Kendall nodded and said, "Its weak but he's breathing." Carlos let out a breath and began to try and wake Logan up while the taller teens checked over his wound.
They saw that the bleeding had stopped but Kendall's jacket was covered in Logan's blood and they instantly knew he had lost way too much blood. Both the boys knew that was the reason he had passed out.
"We need to get out of here." James spoke up snapping the tense silence.
"We need to wake Logan up." Carlos snapped, bringing James and Kendall's attention to their small best friend. His chocolate eyes were wide and filled unshed tears. Kendall knew that his best friend sometimes acted like a child but never had he seen him look so small and vulnerable. Neither Kendall, nor James had seen Carlos like that since they were kids and they had promised nothing would ever hurt him or Logan again.
"Kendall please make him wake up." Carlos begged, looking at Kendall with pleading eyes that simply broke his heart.
Kendall nodded slowly and moved closer to Logan's side, he had to do something especially with Carlos looking at him as if he could fix everything. The blond placed a trembling hand on Logan's cheek and quickly pulled it back in surprise.
"What?"James asked with wide eyes.
"He has a fever." Kendall whispered feeling more panic and horror than he had since the first earthquake hit. Logan's injuries were officially out of his hands, he'd need doctors to help him and they were still so far from help.
"He couldn't have an infection already could he?" James softly said more to himself than Kendall or Carlos.
"We need to get to ground level now." Kendall ordered, swiftly standing up and pulling Logan into his arms. If there was one time he was happy Logan was so light it was now.
When he began to walk toward the stairs he heard Carlos softly talking to James. "James, will Logan be okay?" He asked sounding small and frightened.
"He'll be fine." James told the small teen with unmasked confidence in his voice.
"How do you know?" Carlos questioned.
Kendall tightened his hold on Logan when he heard James' answer, "because Kendall and I have a promise to keep."
