"Carlos, Carlos, come on get up." Logan shook the sleeping boy gently. He groaned when Carlos pulled his blankets over his head and curled into a ball.

"Carlos, we have to get you to the hospital, get up." Logan shook him more.

"No." Carlos croaked defiantly.

"You have to." Logan pulled the blankets away and looked at Carlos, desperately trying to fall back asleep.

"Hey, 'Los, I made chocolate chip pancakes." James said, poking his head into the bedroom he shared with Carlos.

Carlos's head popped up and looked at James with his big puppy dog eyes.

"Come on." James chuckled. Carlos threw himself from the bed and followed James out to the kitchen, where Kendall was sitting at the breakfast bar eating a stack of pancakes. There was a stack sitting on a plate beside him that Carlos claimed as his own and began devouring them. James chuckled and stood behind the counter where there were two other plates.

The four boys ate in silence. Logan knew how afraid Carlos was about today. They all had to go to the hospital and they all had to be there as soon as he would wake up. It was the only way to make this as comfortable as possible for Carlos.

"Well, I'm going to go get dressed." Kendall said, putting his empty plate in the sink. "Carlos, you should too." He added, seeing Carlos just staring at his sticky plate where the pancakes used to be. Carlos sighed and followed Kendall down the hall.

"This is going to suck." James said, grabbing the plate Carlos had left and setting it in the sink.

"I know." Logan sighed. "He's scared, James."

"I know. And I can't protect him this time." James nodded, beginning to wash the dishes.

"I'm going to go get dressed. We've got a long day ahead of us." Logan sighed again and forced himself down the hall. Kendall was standing in their room, buttoning up his shirt.

"Hey, why the long face?" Kendall asked, quickly looking up at Logan. Logan sighed one more time and flopped down on his bed.

"This is going to suck, Carlos is so scared." Logan said.

"We're all worried, but he'll be fine. Come on, what's on your mind, kid?" Kendall asked, sitting beside Logan.

"Well obviously I'm worried about Carlos. This is the one time I can't make him feel better. I just wish he didn't have to go through this." Logan explained, keeping his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"And?" Kendall asked.

"And, Camille and I almost had sex yesterday. I-I don't know if I'm ready. I thought I was but, I don't know. I was scared." Logan admitted, looking over at Kendall. "How did you and Jo know you were ready?"

"Well, we just decided that it was something we were ready for. It's hard to explain, but when you know, you know. If you're thinking about it, you're not ready." Kendall explained, leaning back against the wall.

"What do I tell Camille? I don't want to upset her if she's ready." Logan asked.

"Odds are Camille isn't ready yet either. Tell me what happened." Kendall said.

"Well there was a lot of kissing and once our shirts were gone she was really shy and hid from me. But then we kept going and I wasn't, you know, turned on or anything because there was just this gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm not ready." Logan turned to look back at the ceiling.

"That's ok. It's better to not regret your first time. It should be something you won't forget." Kendall said.

"Thanks, Kindle." Logan smiled a little and looked over at his older brother.

"No problem, Logie bear. Come on, get dressed. We have to get to the hospital." Kendall said, getting to his feet. Logan looked at him from where he was now sitting up right on his bed.

Logan stood up and cuddled himself up against Kendall, wrapping his arms around his torso. Kendall smiled and hugged him back.

"Love you too, Logie." Kendall chuckled. Logan took a deep breath and let go of his older brother.

"I'll get dressed and meet you guys out in the living room." Logan said, reaching for his dresser. Kendall ruffled his hair and headed back out to the hall way. Logan quickly changed into a t-shirt and some jeans and joined the other three boys in the living room.

"Ready?" He asked, scanning over the other boys. James was wearing a t-shirt as well, and Carlos was wearing a hoodie and wearing his helmet.

"Let's go. Ready, 'Los?" James asked, looking over at him. Carlos took a deep breath and pat the side of his helmet twice.

"Alright, let's split." Kendall said, reaching for the keys. The four boys went down the hall, hopped in the elevator, and rode it down to the lobby.

After a very quiet ride in the BTRmobile, the four boys were walking through the doors of the hospital.

"I changed my mind, I don't want to do this." Carlos croaked, trying to turn around. James caught him around the waist and held him in place.

"No! I don't want to!" Carlos yelled, the strain in his voice evident.

"You have to." James said, trying to hold onto the wriggling Carlos.

"No, I'm scared, Jamie." Carlos said, now clinging to James like a Koala.

"I know, buddy. But you have to." James said, putting Carlos down in one of the chairs. Logan and Kendall went to the desk to sign Carlos in.

"Carlos is here for his tonsillectomy." Logan said, writing Carlos Garcia on the sign in sheet.

"Have him fill out these forms." The receptionist passed Logan a clipboard and a pen.

"Ok, Uhh, when did her have chicken pox?" Logan asked, him and Kendall joining their friends in the chairs.

"Oh, when we were 7. Remember? Carlos caught them from us last." James said, trying to hold Carlos in his seat.

"Mumps. Me and Carlos had them at the same time." Logan said.

"Oh, James, you and Carlos had the measles at the same time." Kendall said, reading over Logan's shoulder.

"Allergies?" Logan asked.

"Bees." The three boys replied simultaneously, only Carlos remaining silent.

Logan continued to fill out the forms and had just finished when a nurse came out to get Carlos.

"No, I don't want to go." Carlos said, clinging to James.

"Come on, Carlos. You have to." Logan said, trying to peel Carlos off of his big brother. Carlos stood still and tried to hold back his tears.

"I'll be there when you wake up, 'Los." Logan said, reaching up and taking helmet off of Carlos's head.

"Me too, 'Litos. We'll take care of helmet." James said, patting Carlos on the back.

"Promise?" Carlos asked in a small voice.

"Promise." The other three replied.

"Ok." Carlos whimpered, heading toward the nurse.

Logan, James, and Kendall just stood there and watched him leave.
