Hello everyone! I have just finished this chapter that took me really long to write. I just kept changing my mind on what should happen. Anyways I have fully recovered from surgery so more updates! Yay!

Chapter 7

Kendall sat in the waiting room tears streaming down his face. Logan was going into cardiac arrest. This couldn't be real. It just couldn't. Kendall would just wake up from this horrible nightmare and Logan would be sleeping in the bed beside his, perfectly fine. He couldn't die he was going to become a doctor and help people. Not, the other way around.

James stared blankly at a poster on the wall. This is all your fault, James thought to himself, Logan is dying and it's all your fault. A rush of memories rammed into him. All those times he ignored Logan. All those time he took Logan's help for granted. He vaguely remembered Logan telling him about cardiac arrest. Logan said something about 5% of cardiac arrest victims live.

FIVE PERCENT. Logan's chance of survival was five percent. 95% of people died. That terrified James. What would happen if Logan wasn't part of that 5%? What would happen then? Was Logan already dead? Questions echoed through James's mind.

Carlos was probably the worst off of the entire group, sobbing into Stephanie's shoulder who was now crying too. He couldn't believe that this was happening again. Just like last time, except this time it was worse.

**Flashback**

Carlos stormed off leaving an equally angry Logan behind him. They had gotten into a big fight over nothing. Logan was avoiding Carlos all day when and Carlos confronted him about it. Logan denied it and before they knew it, they were fighting. It was stupid, but Kendall and James hadn't been there to calm things down because they were both home sick with the flu.

Carlos went home went into his room and fumed for a few hours.

After awhile, he decided to call Kendall, knowing that he would listen to him. He got on the phone and began to tell Kendall everything, how Logan was avoiding him, their fight, and how mad he was at him. Kendall remained silent throughout Carlos's entire rant. He finally spoke up after Carlos was finished

"Carlos, I don't know how to say this because this was supposed to be a surprise but, Logan was avoiding you because he was planning a birthday party for you, not to be mean" ,Kendall said slowly.

Carlos froze. He quickly said goodbye to Kendall on the phone and decided to run over to school to apologize. Logan always helped tutor after school, usually Carlos, Kendall or James. As he ran he thought of ways to say he was sorry to Logan.

He entered the tutoring office and quickly asked the front desk personnel where Logan was.

"Oh, he didn't show up today" ,the lady said casually.

"Logan always shows up" ,Carlos said in confusion.

"Well he didn't today, don't ask me" the lady said firmly.

Carlos ran off looking around the school to see where he could possibly be. He called Logan's cell phone his home phone (his parents told Carlos Logan wasn't home), and James and Kendall, just to be sure that he wasn't at their house.

He sighed. He had looked everywhere and couldn't find Logan. Before he could think of any more places he could be a slim girl approached him. Carlos recognized her from school and tutoring club where she also was a tutor.

"Hey, your one of Logan's friend's right?" ,she asked, her brown eyes filled with worry.

"Yeah, do you know where he is?" ,Carlos asked with hope in his voice.

She paused not knowing what to do, "Yes…" ,she said slowly.

"Great! Where is he?" ,Carlos asked excitedly.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him through one of the halls of the school. She stopped in the middle of a hallway filled with lockers. Carlos was not expecting her to pull him, much less stop in an empty hallway. Carlos looked around. They were in senior hall, which was a lot more different than his. The seniors had big lockers to themselves, unlike the small ones that the freshmen had to share.

"Um, not to be rude or anything but, I really don't see Logan" ,Carlos said.

The girl quickly put her hand to her lips to silence him. She pointed to a bunch of seniors down the hallway laughing about something. Varsity jocks, who loved to scare freshmen.

Carlos gave her a silent look of thanks. He hated senior bullies. He looked closer and saw they were laughing and kicking something. He walked closer, the girl silently following behind. She suddenly whipped out her cell phone and held it up, as if she was recording something.

As Carlos got closer he looked in horror when he realized they were kicking a person. He looked back at the girl who worded 'LOGAN' silently.

Carlos charged. He didn't care if he got hurt, he needed to help Logan.

Carlos didn't really remember what happened when he fought the seniors. He just knew that the girl had shouted at them and they ran off. Something about evidence and the police.

Logan wasn't badly hurt, just bruised all over. He immediately accepted Carlos's apology and told Carlos it wasn't his fault but, Carlos still blamed himself. Carlos never saw the girl again, Logan told him she had moved.

** End of Flashback**

Logan thought that Carlos had forgiven himself about that, but Carlos always thought it was his fault somehow. Now, two years later, Carlos thought he had made the same mistake and Logan could die because of it.

This continued for what seemed like several hours, but in reality was only fifteen minutes. Doctor Walsh entered into the room quickly, at faced the group of teenagers.

"We were able to revive Logan from his cardiac arrest" ,Doctor Walsh said, feeling relief flood the room, "However, I think that it is best if you say your goodbyes to Logan because his chances of survival are getting smaller by the second. It is a lot better to say your goodbyes before he dies, to get some closer."

All relief and hope that had entered the room vanished. The doctors didn't think he was going to make it.

"What do you mean by closer?" ,Kendall asked choking on his words.

The doctor looked at him sadly. "Follow me, I'll take you to Logan."

The group of teens silently got up and followed Doctor Walsh. They walked through seemingly endless halls until they came to a stop at room 202.

"You may enter one at a time, and say your goodbyes alone" ,Doctor Walsh said quietly. He then left them for privacy.

"Who wants to go first?" , Samantha asked after a few moments of silence.

"I will" ,Kendall said after no one responded. He slowly entered the room.

Logan was lying on white hospital bed, the colorless sheets covering him up to his stomach. His arms were wrapped in casts and his head covered with gauze. Kendall could tell the doctors had tried to wash him off but, there was still blood on his lips and bruises marked his face like dirt. His face was pale, besides the bruises. Kendall would have been afraid that he was dead if he hadn't heard the heart monitor beeping.

Kendall approached Logan, tears forming in his eyes. He sat on the chair next to Logan and grabbed his limp hand.

"Hey Logie" ,Kendall said quietly to him, the tears now rolling down his cheeks. "This is quite a mess we've gotten you into isn't it? Nothing like this has ever happened before."

Kendall paused and took a deep breath, "Logan I really messed up. It was the most stupid thing in the world to get mad over! Katie already broke that stupid hockey stick but, you took the blame. I was even thinking I should get a new one, because it's so beat up."

" But, I yelled at you, Logan. I should have known something was wrong. Screw the hockey stick, it doesn't matter anymore. It's just a thing not a person, but as I said I made a HUGE mistake Logan and you're paying for it" ,Kendall paused and said softly, "If you die Logan, that mistake will torture me for the rest of my life. I already keep visualizing it in my head and when you…When I saw you there, lying on the ground half dead I-I…" ,Kendall couldn't continue. He just sobbed into his hands.

After Kendall calmed himself down, he exited the room and had Carlos go in next he sat on the chair that Kendall had sat on.

He just stared at Logan for awhile, crying as he did.

"I'm such an idiot! I'm an idiot" , Carlos said to Logan in a matter of fact tone. "I should have been there for you, but I wasn't. Logan I swear, if you live I-I'll do anything, just please don't die. Please don't die because I won't be able to handle it. You're my brother and best friend and I took you for granted, just like last time but, I promise I won't ever let you down again. Just please, don't go."

Carlos reached out and held Logan's hand for awhile, trying to see if Logan held any sign of life in him. He didn't. Carlos silently cried as he left the room. He paused before he opened the door, and looked at Logan as if it was the last time he would ever see him alive. He turned and then left the room.

James stared at Logan's limp body and wondered why someone like him had a friend like Logan. He didn't deserve Logan.

"Mom and Dad signed the papers yesterday Logie" , James whispered to Logan's unnaturally still body, "We are officially family, but you might not be ecstatic about that, considering what I said yesterday. I was going to tell you as soon as I got home, but I guess I forgot after I was the biggest jerk in the world."

James began to cry. "I didn't mean what I said Logan, I really didn't. I hate myself right now, YOU should hate me right now, but I know you don't because that's the kind of person you are. I was so horrible Logan, I was so…"

James broke down. He sobbed into Logan's sheets, oblivious to the world around him. He just wanted to grieve. He stayed there for several minutes, crying his heart out. He wanted Logan back so bad. However he was snapped out of his daze, when he suddenly felt a hand brush against his. He quickly looked up.

Logan's hand was moving. Very slightly but, it was moving. James watched as Logan hand moved across the bed. Suddenly, Logan's face twitched and his eyes fluttered open. He looked over to James, who stared at him in astonishment.

"J-James?"

Does this count as a cliffhanger? I'm not sure. Well, Logan's not dead. I don't think I could kill him off. It would be too sad. REVIEW! Pretty Please!
