* Jeez people, have more faith in Logan! I'm just gonna say this now so you don't keep wondering while you're reading, no Logan does not have any permanant brain damage! And NO ONE will die in this story! Except the pilot but he's already dead so... Haha, anyways thanks for the reviews... READ AND REVIEW! Thanks for the continuous long reviews, TealMoose!
Logan had a serious concussion. Possibly deadly if he didn't get it checked out. James felt a surge of fear pass through his body as he looked down at Logan. Another surge when he saw Kendall, he wondered desperately how they could possibly get out of this situation, this hell. His friends were hurt, possibly dying, and as of now they had no escape.
James curled up on the ground in a ball rocking back and forth as something in his brain snapped. He muttered more to himself than anyone else,
"There's no way out, there's no way out, there's no way out, there's no way out..."
A cruel, constant repetition that he didn't notice as he rocked, oblivious to his surroundings, trapped within the temporary madness going on inside his own head. No way out, no way out, no escape, no escape, no way out, no way out, no escape, no escape...
"James. James!"
James ignored the voice, still rocking and muttering to himself, "No way out, no way out, no escape, no escape, no way out, no way out, no escape..."
Carlos tapped James impatiently trying to get his friend to snap out of it.
"JAMES!" Carlos yelled into his ear.
"...No escape, no escape, no way out, no way out, no way out, no escape, no escape..."
Carlos remembered back to his own little freak-out a few days ago. He pulled back his hand and...
SMACK!
He slapped James hard across the face bringing him back to his senses.
"Th-Thanks for that." James muttered and clambered to his feet. He looked around and then asked Carlos blankly, "So what were you saying?"
"The fire's almost out, and I need you to come get more wood with me."
James rolled his eyes and said with a smirk, "Why are you so concerned with this fire?"
Carlos stared at James, silent and surprised.
James flushed slightly as he felt a feeling of stupidity overcome him by the look he was being given by Carlos, "What?"
"It's a signal fire."
Of course. James felt so completely stupid, how could himself, Kendall, not even Logan think of that! That was a sure-fire way to get help! Why hadn't he realized? He stared awestruck at Carlos's genius and said to him impressed,
"Good thinking, Carlos."
"Never thought I'd hear anyone say that." Carlos mumbled with a smile.
They collected sticks, and pieces of log for about five minutes... and then they had found some sticks that were hockey-stick shaped and... well then they played hockey with a rock for twenty minutes... they then remembered their objective, and returned to deposit their wood in the fire.
Ten minutes later they were sitting in front of the fire, admiring the glow and the comforting crackling of the wood. They leaned back and talked.
"If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?" James asked, staring up at the stars.
"Um... Ninja land, no contest. If you could have a lifetime supply of any product in the world what would it be?"
"Cuda man spray."
"But that puffed up your face and stuff!"
"They fixed it!" James protested.
"Yeah, yeah well-"
Carlos was cut off by the whipping of wind, being propelled out of something's way, and then the ground-shaking sound of an engine. They looked up and their hearts leapt as they saw landing a mile down the beach, a helicopter.
"J-James... Am I imagining it or-?"
"HELICOPTER!"
James and Carlos took off running towards the helicopter, sand flipping up behind their feet.
The pilot got out and called loudly over the noise of the copter, "Hey! Are you stranded here? I saw your signal fire!"
"Yeah! There are two more of us over there by the fire!" James replied just as loudly.
"Okay! We'll get them and then take off... Hey wait a second... Are you Big Time Rush?"
James and Carlos exchanged confused glances, "Er... Yeah, why?"
"Can I have your autograph?"
* Silly helicopter pilot! Yes, they're saved! Hooray! Haha, a few more chapters before the conclusion. So sad, I really enjoyed this story :[ Well, not done quite yet, still a few more chapters so wait! But like I said, NO ONE'S DYING! Okay? Okay. Now, REVIEW!
