A/N: Hey guys I meant to update on Friday and Saturday but I was really busy so this chapter will be twice as long to make up for it. This chapter should be the end of our flashback and we should be heading back to reality. So enjoy!
Keith and Kailey were in Keith's car. Kailey was staring out the window and had not said a word since she got in.
"Aren't you going to ask what happened to Logan?" Keith broke the silence
"No." Kailey said still looking out the window
"Why not?"
"Because I have to be strong. I have to be the strong one for Wallace, Mac and Dick I'm the one everyone leans on when the world crumbles around us and I can't do that if you tell me what's wrong because then I'll worry." The was a long silence after Kailey finished talking
"Kailey you don't have to be strong around me." Keith said glancing over at Kailey
"Yeah… Well I have to be strong around myself. I can't break down right now because I don't think I'll be able to stop." Kailey said looking at Keith with tears in her eyes. Kailey then turned back around and looked out the window and when she did she saw the Neptune Valley Hospital sign.
"Oh God." Kailey whispered
Keith put his hand on her shoulder to let her know that he was there if she needed him. Keith and Kailey got the car and went into the hospital. When they got to the front desk Keith waited for the nurse to notice them.
"How can I help you?" asked the nurse
"We are here to see Logan Echolls." Keith said
"Oh right. You are the Keith Mars that I called right?"
"Yes I am."
"Okay well just go straight through those double doors and take a right and Mr. Echolls room is number 1109 you can't miss it. I'll send in doctor Manning to tell you how he is doing."
"That'll be great. Thank you" Keith said. Him and Kailey headed towards Logan's room. When they were right in front of Logan's door Kailey took a deep breath closed her eyes and prayed that she would have the strength to deal with whatever was inside. Keith opened the door and Kailey stepped through the door looked at Logan and took inventory of his body to make sure he had all his limbs were in place and nothing was missing. Everything looked fine with the exception of the bruises all over his face and his arm was in a cast.
Logan stirred and then opened his eyes. "Go figure you two would be the ones to find me first." Logan said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah well you know me 'Where you lead I will follow'" Kailey said with a smirk
"Oh wow Gilmore Girls references on my deathbed not okay." Logan said. As soon as he said it the smirk was wiped right off Kailey's face.
"Don't say that." Kailey said
"I'm fine come here." Logan said with his right arm out stretched. Kailey went and gave him a hug carefully. Keith just stood in the doorway watching the two interact. After about a minute Dr. Manning walked in.
"Well Mr. Echolls you have finally woken up your morphine must be wearing off. How do you feel?"
"Sore but fine I guess."
"Well you will be feeling a lot more sore in the last couple of days. Mr. Mars and Ms. Cruise can I talk to you outside?"
"Yeah sure" Keith said
"Be back" Kailey said looking at Logan
Keith and Kailey walked outside to talk to Dr. Manning "Well Mr. Echolls is stable but he has a broken arm and a few broken ribs. He had some internal bleeding but we took care of it so we are going to ask that he stay in the hospital for a week or two so we can monitor his recovery. Umm I also have a question to ask does Mr. Echolls have any issues with alcohol or drugs?"
"The alcohol yes a bit of a little problem the drugs absolutely not." Said Keith
"Well Mr. Echolls was found passed out at the beach not too far from here. When we checked his alcohol level it was at and outstanding level of .54 and he tested positive for pain killers. I don't know what he was trying to do but whatever it was it almost cost him his life."
"Well thank you Dr. Manning." Said Kailey
" Your welcome Ms. Cruise" Dr. Manning said looking down at his chart
"Just call me Kailey."
"Okay well Kailey if there is anything that I can do just let me know okay?"
"Okay." Kailey said smiling at Dr.Manning
Dr. Manning walked away. "I'm going to go in there and talk to Logan try to see what happened. You might not want to come because I have a feeling that it might not be pretty." Said Keith
"Yeah I think I'll stay out here."
"Yeah good idea. I called Wallace, Mac and Dick about ten minutes ago they should be here shortly I'll come back out and get everyone when I'm done."
"Okay." Kailey walked over to one of the chairs and sank down into it. She closed her eyes and just rested her mind it had been going at full speed all day.
After about fifteen minutes Wallace, Mac and Dick showed up. Mac started to gently shake Kailey "Kailey Kailey" Kailey opened one eye.
"Mac?"
"Yeah Dick and Wallace are here too they are getting coffee."
"How long have you guys been here?"
"Oh only for about five minutes."
"Oh…"
"How is he?"
"Good I think not too sure I only got to see him for about fifteen minutes then we talked to the doctor."
"What did the doctor say?" asked Mac
"He had some internal bleeding but they took care of it. He had an alcohol level of .54 and tested positive for pain killers. It's a wonder he's not dead."
"Oh God." Mac said "Is he awake?"
"Yeah Keith is in there talking to him now." At that moment Keith walked out the door.
"Hey Mac. Are Wallace and Dick here?"
"Yeah they went to get some coffee."
"Well I think I'll go find them and fill them in on everything. Kailey can I talk to you? Mac you should go see Logan let him know you're here."
"Yeah okay." Said Mac
When Mac left Keith sat in her spot next to Kailey. "Do you want to know?"
"Yes" Kailey said looking at the ground
"Well he had been on his way to LA and stopped at the store and bought some beer stopped at the beach and managed to buy some pain killers from some guy there. He started drinking then just kept on drinking and took the pain killers after that he doesn't know what happened. He doesn't know how he got the broken arm."
"He tried to kill himself didn't he?"
"Yes. He didn't think he would survive the pills or the alcohol. Truth be told I don't know how he did."
Kailey sat there looking at her shoes for a minute then got up. "Okay well I should check on Mac." Kailey said getting up.
"Kailey are you okay?" Keith asked with a look of concern on his face
"Yeah I'm fine. I always am." Kailey said walking away.
"Yeah that's what worries me." Keith whispered to himself
Kailey stepped into Logan's room and saw Mac sitting by Logan's bed crying
"You can't do anything like this again okay? You scared me so much I was so worried."
"I won't" Logan said squeezing Mac's hand
"You have to promise you won't." Mac said
"Promise." Logan said looking at Mac then at Kailey.
Logan stayed in the hospital for two weeks and was then released.
End Flashback
Kailey was sitting against the wall with her head in lap crying. Veronica knelt down next to Kailey and tried to comfort her but it was no use. She pulled out her cell phone to call Wallace.
"Hey V." Wallace answered
"Hey. Wallace I need you to get over here to Kailey's house she's crying and I can't stop her I've tried and she won't stop."
"Was she talking about Logan's incident?"
"Yeah why?"
"Because there are only two people who can help calm her down when she's like this. Mac and Logan."
"Oh well can you call them and tell them to get over here quickly?"
"Yeah okay. I'll be over there too."
"Thanks Wallace." Said Veronica
"No problem." Wallace hung up
Veronica put her arms around Kailey rocked them back and forth hoping it would help.
