The next day all four boys were still in the hospital. They were all doing well at recovering from their major injuries. James had a cast on his left thumb from where he broke it to take the hand cuffs off. He was wrapped up in some gauze like the others were. But it was his boyfriend who had the worst injuries out of the four.
Kendall had four broken ribs that if not treated when they were could have punctured his lung. Just to be on the safe side the doctors triple checked to make sure nothing like that happened an put Kendall on a breathing mask for the first night.
Carlos only had cuts and bruises that weren't that serious but they kept him over night to be on the safe side.
Logan had one fractured rib and his organs were damaged slightly. But nothing that was life threatening. Which he was very happy to hear.
All four boys were happy to finally get a full nights rest without the worry of having someone come in and beat them to death. When they got the hospital that night Mrs. Knight and Katie were there waiting for them. As soon as the doctors were done doing what they do best, they were aloud in the room that the boys shared ad showered them with love and affection. They all played up the act that they were okay just being strong for the girls as to not worry the day lights out of them. But Mrs. Knight knew better because she raised these boys as they broke down to tell her and Katie everything.
Kendall left out the part of getting raped. He didn't want Katie to know so he told his mom he had something else to tell her later in private. She smiled at him and stroked his blonde hair lovingly.
After about two more days in hospital the doctors deemed them ready to go home but told them absolutely NO rough housing or physical activity for the next six weeks. To that they sort of groaned but it was a fair price to pay for their freedom back. So that takes us to this evening. Kendall, James , Carlos and Logan were laying around on their highlighter orange couch resting and relaxing trying to listen to the doctors orders. They were mostly for Kendall though. Seeing as his ribs were doing well but he needed to take it way easy or he'd hurt himself.
So the guys were just watching a movie, when there came a rapid knock on the door. Mrs. Knight, who was just checking her Facebook at the kitchen table, got up and answered the door. She was shocked to see that it was Officer Grims standing there. His facial expression was striaght and firm as to not give anything away. "Officer Grims, hello. What a lovely surprise."
The police officer gave out a sad sigh when she said that and she frowned. What could be wrong? " I'm looking for a one James Diamond." He said firmly.
frowned some more. What did he want with James ? "James is right over there why?" She asked sounding very confused.
"May I come in?" He asked and she stepped aside. He walked over to the couch where all four boys were sitting. He cleared his throat to get their attention and they're heads snapped in his direction. "Which one of you is James Diamond?"
James stood up and faced the police officer. "That would be me sir." And before James could think Officer Grims stepped over to him, turned him around and slapped hand cuffs on his wrists behind his back. "Hey! What the hell gives?"
"Yes what is going on her officer Grims?" Mrs. Knight asked anger thick in her voice and her brown eyes shone with a blaze of fury.
"Mr. Diamond here is being charged with three counts of assault and one count of attempted murder." Officer Grims said not sounding too pleased about doing so.
"What!" Everyone in the room yelled in unison.
James felt his insides twist with something he'd never felt before. It made him feel sick. If he'd a known that this was going to happen and he was going to get charged with a felony charge he would have made it worth his while ad killed all three men. Well in a way he almost killed one of them but it's not the same thing.
Officer Grims took a deep breath, " You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you. You have the right to an attorney if you can not afford one the court will assign one to you." Grims said as he read off James his rights. He pulled James out of his thoughts and started walking him out of the apartment to his cruiser. James wanted to cry but held it in. He would not let something like this get to him. Maybe he won't get charged so bad? He is technically still a minor. He held onto that light piece of hope as he was taken down town for processing.
Back at the apartment, everyone was at a loss for what had just happened. They were shocked, a little confused and mad even.
"What just happened?!" Kendall asked out loud. And everyone in the room was thinking the same thing but couldn't give an answer.
But one thing was for curtain, Kendall thought to himself. If Hawk wants to play dirty like that and charge HIS boyfriend for protecting himself and his friends, then he was in for it.
Big time.
