Hey guys here's another drama-filled chapter for all of you lovely readers. To yaoilover6969, I did do shoutouts on chapter 2 so if didn't see them, check there. Thanks for all the reviews and a big shout out to winterschild11 for the shoutout on "Those You Trust". It's great story and for those of you who haven't read it, I highly recomend you check it out. Now's the time of the author's note when I am obliged to say I do not own the wonderful band Big Time Rush. With that painful confession, here's chapter 9!
The next morning, Logan was the first to wake up. He checked his blood sugar first thing and saw that it was kind of low so he wrote a note to the other boys then went to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. After eating, he got some coffee and sat down. After a few minutes, he sees a familiar figure sit down next to him.
"Morning, Logie!" Carlos said cheerfully sipping some hot chocolate.
"Morning, Litos, anyone else up?" Logan asked.
"Nope, I woke up and saw your note so I decided to join you. How are you today?" the Latino replied.
"I'm fine. Levels are normal." Logan answered then sipped his coffee.
"Logie, that's not what I meant. I meant how are you doing with everything that's going on, not just your diabetes." Carlos explained as if it was obvious.
"Oh well, I'm not very happy that someone intentionally hurt one of my brothers. Plus, what if they go after Kendall or you or Katie or Mama Knight? I don't want anyone to get hurt!"
"Logan it'll be okay! The good guys always win remember?" Carlos said optimistically. Logan smiled not wanting to tell the innocent, helmet-wearing Latino that good doesn't always win in the real world.
"Yeah, anyway we'd better get back so that Kendall and Freight Train don't get worried. Besides, everyone else will be here soon." Logan stated. The two boys began their commute back to room 232 when suddenly a reporter and a cameraman run up to them.
"Logan, Carlos, I'm Maria Gomez from 'Mornings with Maria'. How is Big Time Rush coping with Logan's recent diagnosis and now James' accident?" she questioned. The boys were relieved to know that the press didn't know it was intentional, and they intended to keep it that way. They just kept walking and tried to ignore the rude reporter and cameraman.
"Boys, give me something!" she ordered. She shoved the microphone once again in Logan's face.
"Please just leave us alone." He said with no emotion. He was about ready to lose his temper, and he'd rather not do that on camera. Maria continued badgering them though. They stopped walking a couple doors from James' room so they wouldn't give those sleazy creeps his exact room number. Suddenly, a very large, dark figure came out of James' room to see what was going on.
"Boys, you'd better start talking or I swear I'll-"
"You'll do what?" Freight Train's deep voice interrupted Maria's threat. She and her cameraman turned around and saw the massive man.
"I-I"
"You will leave these boys alone and not say anything negative about them on your dumb show or I will be the one doing the threatening." He hissed. Maria nodded then ran away, her cameraman right behind her. As soon as she was out of sight, Freight Train smiled at the two boys.
"Thanks, Freight Train. Boy, sometimes I forget how scary you can be." Carlos grinned. Freight Train was like a huge teddy bear, but if someone threatened his boys, he was quick to turn into Papa Bear.
"You boys should wear sunglasses and caps next time you go out so you don't attract so much attention." He suggested as he ushered them into the room. James and Kendall were wide awake now.
"Hey, guys, what's up?" James asked.
"Nothing much, just the usual threats from reporters followed by the rescue from your delightfully oversized bodyguard." Carlos said casually then sat down next to Kendall. Kendall and James looked confused. They turned to Logan who then told them what happened in detail.
"Way to make 'em pee themselves, Train!" Kendall praised. Freight Train smiled in response then went back to his post.
"So Logan, is the food here edible?" Kendall asked.
"It was for me. I ate off the diabetic menu." He replied.
"Carlos?"
"I liked it!" Carlos answered cheerfully.
"Says the guy who ate nachos out of the trash can!" James added.
"Well, I guess I'll have to go investigate myself. I'll be right back." Kendall announced getting up.
"I don't think you should go alone. In case…something happens." Logan suggested with a nervous smile.
"I'll go! I'm starving!" Carlos volunteered.
"Carlos, you just ate like forty-five minutes ago! How can you already be hungry?"
"I'm a growing boy!" The Latino answered defensively.
"You'd better hope so with your height." James teased.
"You'd better watch it, Diamond, I WILL tackle you, hospital bed or not." Carlos warned tapping his helmet.
"Whatever you say, my dear little Latino, whatever you say." James said with a smile.
"You coming, Litos?" Kendall asked at the doorway. Carlos nodded then skipped up to his friend.
"Be careful of reporters!" Logan instructed.
"Oh Logie, I wouldn't worry about me. While Carlitos over here is too sweet and you're too shy, I'M not afraid to go all Minnesota hockey player on 'em." He reminded proudly then exited with Carlos right behind them.
"Bye Logie! Bye Jamie! Bye FT!" Carlos called cheerfully.
"Man, that little boy sure is a hand-full." Freight Train chuckled.
"Yeah, but we love him anyway." James said grinning. "So how's it going, Logan?"
"I'm doing alright, you?"
"To be honest, I've been better, and having my memory of yesterday come back wasn't too fun."
"Yeah it wasn't fun for me either watching you be in that much pain. That's something I NEVER want to see again." Logan shivered.
"Well don't worry, next time some crazy psychopath makes a move on one of us, I'll politely ask him to make sure you aren't in the room." James said sarcastically earning him a punch in the arm from Logan.
"So how many news station do you think we're on?" Logan asked to change the subject.
"I don't know, a lot most likely. Between you and me, we've created the story of a lifetime!" James said with a smirk.
"I don't get it. How interesting could someone getting diabetes and someone breaking their leg be?" Logan asked.
"The interesting part is that we can sing and dance." James answered plainly.
"Yeah, I guess." He sighed.
After Kendall and Carlos had eaten, they decided to go to the hospital courtyard for some fresh air. Right now, it was completely empty except for the two boys, and they liked that.
"I'd better text Logan and tell him where we are so he doesn't get worried." Kendall said pulling out his phone.
"Kendall, are you scared?" Carlos asked.
"Scared of what, buddy?"
"Of what's happening. Logan told me this morning that he was scared the guy who hurt James would come after one of us. Do you think that's true?" he asked frightened.
"Litos, I don't know what is happening, but what I do know is I will do what it takes to protect you guys, no matter what the cost." Kendall said so confidently that Carlos had no choice than to be relieved. He allowed the subject to change to more cheerful things. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard followed immediately by a great force hitting Carlos and taking him to the ground.
Sorry for the cliffhanger I couldn't resist ;) please review your thoughts on what happened and what do you think will happen. Hope you liked the fluff too because to me, you can never have too much bromance!
