*AN* Final chapter. I managed to fit it into 10 after all. I thought it would have been shorter though. As far as the 'plot twist' I came up with last chapter, this is it. I liked it. It wasnt much, I'll be honest with you but for some reason it was flowing into the story and I decided to roll with it. Since this story is done, I'm not sure whether I will jump into my next one or wait a little bit. my next story will hopefully be short. there isnt much detail in the outline that i have so I'll try to keep it that way. It may be 2 long chapters. I'm thinking the more stories I write, the shorter they will be. Without a long origin story, i feel the need to put in some background on the different characters I put in with the guys of BTR. just so it makes a little more sense.*

"Go wake up Rachel." Katie said sternly to Logan. He looked at her with a stunned look for a second before he sprang to his feet and ran through the living room to Rachel's room. The door was ajar but he called to her first.
"Rachel?" he said a bit desperately. There was no response. "Rachel!" He called out again, before opening the door. She was still asleep. Logan went up to her and started shaking her as he called her name. She moaned before rolling over and meeting his gaze. She sat up quickly. "What's wrong?" she said panicked as she flipped the covers off herself.
"It's Kendall, he fell off the couch and we think he hit his head." Logan explained in a bit of a panic. Rachel was already on her feet as Logan ran out of the room; Rachel wasn't far behind. Logan lead the way to Kendall who was still on the floor, Katie at his side.
Rachel got down next to him and Katie got up so she could work freely. Rachel made quick work of him, checking him from head to toe. She found nothing on his skull and his vitals were fine.
"I don't think he hit his head, I don't see or feel anything and his vitals are normal." she explained. She just about finished her sentence when Kendall grunted and swung his arm. "Yeah, he's fine." Rachel said with a chuckle. "help me get him back on the couch."
"Shouldn't we wake him?" Logan asked.
"No, let him sleep, he's fine. Just move the coffee table to avoid a disaster." she said. Katie put her hands on the table and waited for them to move Kendall. "Logan switch with me." Rachel stated. Logan took Kendall's upper body and Rachel took his legs and together picked him up and plopped him on the couch. "Wow is he a heavy sleeper!" Rachel said surprised.
"We've been working hard at boot camp, gets a little tiring after a while." Logan explained.
"Oh right, Logan don't you guys have to work today?" Katie asked
"No, actually. We had a split day yesterday. We got off just after 11am and had a break until about 4pm. We stopped by to see if you wanted to go to lunch with us and saw you were in a bad state. The doctor said you would be fine but we wanted to make sure. We went back to work yesterday but stayed later to cover what we would have missed. We were there until, I don't know, like, 3 or 4am." Logan said.
"How did you all end up here?" She said curiously
"We came to check in on you of course" he said playfully as he tousled her hair. "James said we could crash here since it was so late. We stayed up for a little while, to see if you would wake up early but we didn't last long and fell asleep in a matter of minutes."
"If you guys are so tired then why are you up so early?" She asked
"I never sleep much, especially lately. On the bus I don't sleep more than 2 hours at a time." he replied. The sound of footsteps interrupted their conversation. They turned to see Carlos walk in groggily. Upon seeing them, Carlos stretched and yawned before speaking. "What's going on guys?"
"Good morning Carlos." Katie said with a smile.
"Morning Katie." he replied sleepily. He did a double take before his eyes lit up. "Katie! You're awake!" he said with a half still sleepy smile on his face. She nodded in reply. "How are you feeling?" he asked sincerely.
"I'm feeling fine. Well rested."
"She's acting like her normal self. She was climbing on the counters a little while ago." Logan stated.
"Katie!" Rachel reprimanded.
"Yeah, yeah, I know don't do that. I already got the third degree from Logan." she stopped Rachel.
"She's right though. We are here to help you get through this after all. No matter how well you feel you shouldn't push yourself. You'll get there soon enough." Carlos said with a smile putting his arm around her.
"What are you doing up anyway?" Rachel asked.
"I heard everybody running back and forth like some sort of sprint marathon." Carlos explained. Logan rubbed the back of his neck nervously and looked at the girls.
"Sorry about that buddy. I was running to get Rachel. Kendall had a spaz attack in his sleep and ended up on the floor. We thought he hit his head."
"Is he alright?" Carlos beamed.
"Yes, he's fine. Slept through the whole thing." Rachel giggled.
"That sounds like him." Carlos said through a smile. Katie laughed. The four of them sat at the table and chatted amongst themselves for a while. Occasionally, quieting themselves down in an effort to avoid awaking James or Kendall. After about an hour, Rachel excused her self, leaving the three to talk for a minute. She came back with some equipment and began tending to Katie. Logan and Carlos watched as Katie went through a couple different minor tasks, took medication, and vitals were checked. Rachel recorded everything on her computer before returning the equipment to her room. Carlos made himself some breakfast, Logan had seconds as well. Rachel came back in to see the boys devouring their food.
"I never could understand how and why guys could eat so much and so fast. It'll remain a mystery." she chuckled. Carlos and Logan smiled, trying not to laugh or they would spit out their food. Kendall went into another spaz mode and they turned to him to see him swing his arms off the couch and the rest of his body followed with a thud. They had concerned looks on their faces and Carlos and Logan both stood up ready to run to their buddy's side. This time though, as soon as Kendall fell he popped right back up. He looked around confused for a few seconds before setting sights on his pals. He blinked a few times before he spoke.
"What's going on?" he asked sleepily as he rubbed his face. "How did I end up on the floor…?" he continued confused.
"Dude, you fell." Carlos explained.
"What were you dreaming about? You were spazzing like a sleeping dog." Katie asked. Kendall stared at her trying to process her words.
"I…I don't remember…" Kendall said as he thought about it.
"As long as you're alright, it doesn't matter. Come get yourself some breakfast." Rachel said. Kendall got up from the floor and walked to the kitchen. The four of them continued talking and having fun. Rachel cleaned up a bit before heading to her room to organize her work. James was still out cold on the couch in his living room. Rachel checked on him to make sure he was ok. He was fine just exhausted.
Rachel was busy in her work when she glanced at the clock. It was well past noon. Even though she was doing some pretty boring stuff, time seemed to just fly right by. She gathered her papers and organized them before setting up equipment for Katie's therapy. She headed down the hall and stood in the door way looking into the living room and called out to Katie. She saw her in the kitchen roughhousing lightly with Logan, Carlos and Kendall. She yelled to Katie. James was startled awake.
"Who! What! Where?" James yelled in a panic as he sat up nearly falling off the couch.
"Oh my goodness, James! I'm so sorry I didn't realize you were still sleeping!" She apologized frantically as she rushed to him.
"…Rachel?" he asked confused "What's up?"
"James I'm really sorry! I didn't know you weren't up yet. I couldn't see you on the couch, and I totally forgot." Rachel fussed over him. James flipped his hair before giving a quick head shake. He was more awake now and could focus better. He looked up at her before getting up and putting his hands on her shoulders.
"It's ok. Really. Is everything alright? How's Katie?" He asked concerned.
"Yes, everything is fine; Katie is alright, she woke up early this morning apparently. She's been in the kitchen for a few hours with the others." Rachel explained starting to calm down. A burst of laughter interrupted them; confirming Rachel's story. James turned to the sound then back at Rachel with an acknowledging smile and jogged to the kitchen. Rachel walked to the kitchen, following James.
"Hey James" Logan greeted him
"Morning" Said Carlos
"Bout time you got up" Kendall teased.
"Good Morning James." Came Katie's usually pleasant and polite greeting. "how did you sleep?"
"Pretty well actually. Glad to see you up and around. How are you feeling?"
"Pretty good." She said with a smile. James went to walk over to her when he felt small particles under his feet. "What the…?" He looked down and noticed Cheerios all over the floor. "Why is there cereal all over my kitchen floor…?" he asked the group calmly.
"I dropped the box as I poured. I picked it up or at least most of it but the bits I gathered became ammo for a food fight/contest."
"Oooo! What's the challenge?" James said interested as he sat at the table forgetting about his messy kitchen. Before anyone could answer Rachel stopped them
"Wait a minute! You can't be serious. There is cereal all over this kitchen and you want to add too it by playing a silly little game?"
Silence fell across the room as Rachel waited for a response. "Well?" she added. They remained silent for a little longer.
"But I want to play." James said in a small but serious voice. Rachel face palmed and sighed.
"This is not what I signed up for…All of you are in your twenties, how can you act like this?" she said exasperated
"Its fun?" Kendall offered
"It really is entertaining. When you work long hard hours and have to be serious, even on a humorous show, it can get a little aggravating." Carlos said
"This is how we relieve all that tension and have a little fun." Katie added.
"That's true. And at least something this little can be fun but yet not overpowering for Katie. She can still have fun with us without going overboard." he said with a smile as he wrapped an arm around her. Rachel sighed as she looked at them.
"I guess your right no harm done." she said. "But I suggest you find something a little less messy or do this outside. In the mean time, Katie, its time for your therapy." She gestured to her. Katie got up and started for the living room, pausing waiting for Rachel.
"We'll be about an hour, so clean up a little, and James, get some breakfast." Rachel said. They guys agreed and got to work immediately. They finished cleaning in a few minutes and sat at the table while James had breakfast. Once he finished they decided to check in on Katie's physical therapy. James stood at the sink rinsing his bowl as the other three left; he would meet up with them in a few. They sat and watched as Katie went through different exercises and encouraged her all the way. They even took turns helping out. After her therapy they all went out to the movies for an afternoon.

*AN* I will be putting an epilogue on this story. I dont know when exactly though. I'm just using the epi for some additional thoughts I had. i didnt want to extend the story just to fit it in. the epi will be part of what I had originally outlined. It was going to extend over two-four weeks rather than the couple days. I'm writing the epi now and should be posted within the next few days. I'm moving back to school tomorrow afternoon, but since I only live about 15 minutes from it, I'll be back home until Tuesday night.*
