Chapter 8 part 1: The Accident

A/n—hey guys! I am back! This is actually chapter 8. i deleted the author's note! Thanks to all who reviewed. Thank you: Smileyface519, CountryPeach05, and Rockport268 for reviewing. Thank you baybayj and kourttink for putting this story on favorite story! Thank you nerdygirl3.14 for putting this on story alert! People who don't have accounts, you can review anonymously. All you have to do is click the review. :D. Okay after this chapter I will be writing a few chapters then update them all. But only chapter one a day. Then I will write a few more and update. So after this, don't expect an update for about 2-7 days at the most. They are in second grade now. I know you guys probably were expecting the one year anniversary of their friendship, but that is always the same. Everything is fine, something goes wrong, it gets fixed, and they go back to normal. So yeah. Something traumatic! Okay I'm done babbling. Now onto the disclaimer.

Disclaimer—do I really have to say it? If anyone owned them on this website, none of them would be writing stories. So no I don't own them. :'(

Carlos' POV

THIS IS SO BAD! So bad! 8 frickin years. All I wanted to do was go in there and hug her. But from the looks of Kendall, James, and Logan, I decided not to.

Out of the five of us, Lexi, Logan, and I were closest. She mostly stuck to Logan though. I went to Lexi and Logan for smart ideas, and went to Kendall and James for stunt ideas.

Every time they would get up, Logan would push us into the room behind us. Then he would push us down and stay down until they were in the room. I don't understand why we just go in there. Why can't we? Stupid! You know why! You left her without saying goodbye, and haven't talked to her since!Oh yeah that's why. God I can be so oblivious sometimes. Oh she is talking, better listen.

Lexi's POV

"Mommy! Please?" I asked for the bazillionth time. "I said no. and that's final." Mom said, sounding tired. She was baking cookies. And it looked like she was confused. "Dad, tell her to let me go!" I asked and turned to dad. He was sitting at the counter snatching some cookie batter when mom wasn't looking.

"Sorry baby. I agree with her with this one." Dad said and shrugged his shoulders. "MOM! Have you seen my new shirt?" Steph said as she came down the stairs. She was turning ten in one week.

"Check in the dryer." My mom said and snatched Dad's hand away.

"Why can't I go?" I whined. "Because it's too dangerous." Mom said. "IS not!" "Yes it is. I am not letting you go to the park and that is final." My mom said and folded her hands over her chest." "But why? Logan, James, and Carlos, and Kendall are going to be there. Plus Joanna and Mrs. Garcia will be there too! We know to behave! Nothing can go wrong. Please just let me go!" I begged.

"Fine just stop whining! But I want you to use Joanna's cell phone to call me every thirty minutes." She declared. "YES YES YES! THANK YOU!" I screamed and hugged her.

"Steph come and help me pick out something!" I said as Stephanie came out of the laundry room. Even though they are my best friends, I want to look nice for them, especially Logan. I kinda have a crush on him, I have since kindergarten. So Steph knows everything about clothes, so I ask her to pick out some of my clothes

"Fine come on." She said and walked to my room. "No, no, no. Ewww no!" she said and was throwing stuff from my drawers and closet.

"Hey Steph?" I asked. "Yeah?" she said, pulling out stuff from my closet. "Why are mom and Dad so prodecive or something?" I asked, nervously.

"Protective. Well something happened on September 11th, something really bad. That's why they closed all the schools in the USA. (idk if they did close ALL of the schools) you know what happened right?" she said and stopped looking for clothes.

"Yeah people crashed a plane into the twin towers. And the Pentagon. Whatever that is. And one tried to hit the White House, but missed." I said. My teacher, Mrs. Swick, had told us about it.

"Yeah. Well mom and dad are being protective because they are afraid someone might hurt people where you are going to be." She said.

"Oh." Was all I said. "Well we are in Minnesota, and that was in D.C and New York. So I will be fine." I said.

"Take a shower and then put t." She said handed me my Hello Kitty t-shirt, and my only pair of capris without holes in them. "Then after your done, I will braid your hair." She said and walked out.

I looked at my clothes. They didn't seem like clothes to play in the park with, but hey I am only 8, what do I know

-Time skip 20 minutes-

I just got out of the shower, and now Dad tells me they will be here in 10 MINUTES! Plus Steph has to leave practically right now. But she was actually nice enough to stay and do my hair.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR!" I yelled. I can't find any underwear. Now I have to check all my drawers. Stupid Stephanie. "No, no no!" I said and threw clothes everywhere. "Yes!" I said and put the underwear on and got dressed. I looked at my clock. 2:22 pm. It's been two minutes!

"Steph I am ready!" I yelled. She came into my room and had a whole bunch of hair supplies. "No I was wrong, that outfit is not right. Let's find a new outfit." she said and started going through my clothes, AGAIN!

"But we only have-"I looked at the clock. "Seven minutes left before they come here!" I said.

"Just trust me. It will be f-" She started to say before I cut her off. "Can we do my hair first? I think that takes more time." I said, shyly. One thing, you never interrupt her. Steph turned and looked at me. "Fine." She said.

-Time skip 4 minutes-

She put my hair into two braids. "We only have two minutes left! Hurry up!" I screamed.

Stephanie was pulling out clothes everywhere.

The doorbell rang. "Crap." Steph said. She told me that wasn't a bad word, even though mom and dad say it is. It's just a not so nice word. So I don't tell mom and dad.

I heard Mom answer the Door. "Hey Joanna. Hey Sylvia. Hey Logan, James, Carlos, and Kendall. Come in!" I heard her say.

"Ah ha! I found it!" she said and handed me my tie die shirt I made for Logan's and mine's birthday. She also handed me some knee length cut off shorts. "Hurry put this on!" she said and ran out and shut my door.

I opened it a crack and I heard talking. I can't believe they are waiting for me! Dad says if someone ever has to wait on you that means you aren't responsible. Then you won't get a good job.

I quickly took off my clothes, careful with my shirt so I don't mess up my braids.

I started putting my shorts on when the door opened. I had my back to the door. I figured it was Steph coming in to get her hair supplies.

"Steph you can get them la—AHHHHHH!" I screamed when I saw Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan standing in the doorway, flushed faces, frozen. Well I guess they would be because I only have underwear on. OMG I ONLY HAVE UNDERWEAR ON! And in front of Logan!

I grabbed a pillow and put it over me. "Um can you guys please get out?" I said, face beet red.

"I'm sorry." Came from all of them as they closed their eyes and walked out. I slammed my door shut and got dressed.

As I walked down stairs I started to freak out. What if they act weird around me for the rest of life? No they are my best friends! But they could, cause they ARE boys.

I remember Dad saying something to Steph once. It was the time when she ripped her pants at our cousin's birthday party, in front of everyone. He said, "Just pretend it never happened. Hold your head high and just pretend it's no big deal."

Yeah that's what I'll do! I decided at the last step.

"MOM I'm ready!" I said. "Honey wait five more minutes. Play with the boys." She said.

The guys were watching SpongeBob. I went over to them. "Hey guys, have any of you seen this episode?" I said in one breath. They blushed when they saw me, but answered. "No. I haven't and don't tell me anything about it!" Carlos said. "Yeah and it's funny!" Kendall said. "Yeah I have. But it's not my favorite." James said. "Yeah it's my favorite Logan said." "Cool. Its mine too!" I said and sat down next to Logan and we watched SpongeBob.

"Come on guys! Let's go!" Mrs. Garcia said. "Yeah the park! Last one to the car is a rotten egg!" Carlos said and we sprinted off.

A/n- splitting it up. Mainly cuz I want to get this up. Okay thanks you guys. Important things.
