Hurt
Since Kendall got his helmet, he's had to wear it everywhere: the park, the store, and even the pool. The good thing is that he doesn't have to wear it at night. He does if he decides to go out, though. But one day, Kendall decided not to wear it. Bad idea!
Kendall woke up at nine in the morning and saw that Logan's bed was empty, so he decided to get up himself and went to the living room to greet his friends. When he went out, he was greeted by his friend Logan. "Hey Kendall."
"Hey, buddy."
James asked "What happened? You usually don't get up until noon on days off."
"We have the day off?"
James replied, "Yes. Gustavo said when you are completely better, to come. I said that you'll probably be better in one more week."
"Oh well. I just decided to see if anyone was up yet since Logan wasn't in bed." He looked around. "Hey, where's mom and Katie?"
Logan said, "They went shopping."
"Uh-oh."
"'Uh-oh' what?"
"When they both go shopping, it literally takes them all day."
"Maybe. Let's talk about what we're gonna to do today. Carlos suggested we go to the park."
Kendall agreed. "I agree with you, Carlitos. The park sounds great."
"Park it is then," said Logan. "Well then, get some breakfast, get dressed and we'll go."
"OK." He poured himself some cereal and started eating.
"Slow down, Kendall!"
"Sorry Logan, I'm just excited! I haven't been to the park since I was in the hospital!"
"OK, understandable. Just eat slower."
Kendall said through a mouthful of Chocolate Squares,"Alright." Logan shook his head. After a shower, Kendall went to his room to get ready. "OK, I've eaten, I'm showered, now to get dressed." He put on a white t-shirt, his baby blue sweatshirt, faded blue jeans, and his matching blue sneakers with white bottoms. He came out and the others were ready. "OK, I'm ready."
He started walking, but Logan stopped him. Logan grabbed his helmet off the table. "Uh, uh, uh, not so fast Kendall. Aren't you forgetting something?" He pulled it from behind his back. "Your helmet?"
"Aw, come on, Logan, dude! I don't wanna wear it!" he complained.
"I'm sorry Kendall, but when your mom's not here, I'm in charge. Now, put it on." He tried handing the helmet to Kendall, but he pushed it away. "Kendall, you gotta wear it for your own protection. Plus, we're probably gonna be running around, so you definitely need to wear it."
"No I don't because I'll be careful."
"OK, if you promise me you'll be careful, I won't make you wear it, deal?"
"Deal." Logan set it back on the table.
James asked "Are we going or not?"
Logan held up his hands. "Alright, we're going, we're going." They all headed off to the park.
They were sitting in the park when Carlos asked "Do you guys wanna have a race?"
"Yeah!" They high-fived.
Logan asked "Where to?"
Carlos thought for a second before saying "OK from this bench, to the tree on the other side, around it, then back to here."
James replied, "Sounds good to me."
"OK," started Carlos. They got into their starting positions. "On your mark…get set…go!" They were off.
"You're going down, James!"
"In your dreams, Logan!"
They were shocked when Kendall passed them. He's usually the slowest. "Hey guys."
"You're going down, buddy!" said James.
"You gotta catch me first!"
Logan noticed something. "Kendall, watch out for that tree!"
"What?" He didn't even look before it was too late. His head collided with the tree hard and knocked him out.
"Kendall!" They ran to him.
Logan asked "Are you alright, buddy?" No response. "Can you hear us?" Still no response. "Guys, he's not responding! James, call an ambulance and then call Mrs. Knight and tell her to meet us at the hospital!" James whipped out his phone and dialed the three digit number.
Carlos whimpered. "Logie, I'm scared."
"I know you are. I am too, but all we can do for Kendall now is get him to the hospital."
"Right." James looked over his shoulder while the lady talking to him said they'd send an ambulance right away.
Logan said, "Everything's gonna be alright Kendall. It'll be alright." He gulped.
