Alright...it took awhile but here is the next section. I must say from here on it the story pretty much stinks but I'm gonna finish it anyways. I'm thinking about doing another story in the near future so if you have any requests just PM me. I prefer whump and angst over anything and if you couldn't tell I love abusing James!
DISCLAIMER-I'm really bad about this but I don't own anything!
Enjoy!
"Guys! He's waking up!"
James groaned as he felt himself coming too. His blinked trying to adjust his eyes to the lights in the room. He looked around the room, seeing the guys all tired to chairs sitting in a circle. Logan was across from him. Kendall and Carlos were next to him and his mom was in between Kendall and Logan. James felt his shoulder throb and realized his arms were tied behind his back.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Well we were leaving, then your dad showed up and the light went out and then we all got hit on the back of the head. When we woke up we were all like this." Carlos explained.
"Good to know...any ideas how to get out of this?" James replied.
"Well we could...yeah I got nothing..." Logan said.
The boys sat around for awhile trying to figure out an idea. The guys let out a group sigh, resulting in yet another coughing fit from James.
"James! Crap! I forgot you were still sick." Logan began freaking out.
"I'll be fine. We just need to get out of here." He replied slightly out of breath.
"How? We don't know where we are, we're all tied to chairs, and who knows where your dad went!" Carlos said.
"Look guys, we'll figure something out! We always do! Now Kendall, got a plan?" James replied.
"Why do y'all always ask me that? Logan's the brain!" Kendall said.
"Well yeah, but you always come up with the plans then Logan tells us how bad of an idea it is." Carlos provided.
"Fair enough. Well we have to untie ourselves somehow. Anyone got a knife?" Kendall asked.
"I'm stupid. I have a knife strapped to my leg. If we can get it we can cut ourselves out." James said.
The group stared at him for a few seconds.
"What! Knives are very useful!" James defended himself. "Now it's on my right calf. Carlos, see if you can turn your chair around and grab it."
Carlos shifted his chair so his hand were near James' legs. James lifted his leg and Carlos pulled up the pant leg and grabbed the knife off his leg.
"Got it!" Carlos cheered.
"Great! Now cut the tape of you're hands and help us out." Kendall said.
Carlos went to work cutting the tape from his hands. After a few minuets he had managed to cut the tape. He jumped out of the chair and went to help the rest of the group out of their restraints. Kendall rushed over to help James stand up while Logan and Carlos helped James' mom. James leaned heavily on Kendall as they made their way to the only door in the room. All their cell phones has been taken, along with James' backpack. Logan cautiously opened the door and looked out.
"Guys! It's clear! Come on let's go." Logan whispered.
They all began walking, or limping in James' case. The door opened to a long hallway. They headed down the hallway until it split in 2 directions.
"Which way do we go?" Carlos asked.
"Uh...I don't know. Anyone got a coin?" Logan asked.
"Really...? We're gonna flip a coin?" Kendall raised his eyebrows.
"Well I really don't think splitting up is a good idea! So yes coin flipping seemed like the next logical step." Logan defended.
"Alright, alright! Here's a quarter." Kendall flipped the quarter towards Logan.
"Thank you Kendall. Now Heads we go right, Tales, left." Logan tossed the quarter up in the air and watched as it spun a few times before landing back in his open palm.
"Heads. Looks like we're going right." Logan said.
They turned and headed down the hallway.
(Kendall's POV)
I wasn't entirely sure how we had gotten in this position, I just knew we needed to get out. With each step James was leaning more and more on me. I could tell he was past exhausted but we really couldn't afford to stop. We continued walking for a bit until suddenly James had collapsed against me. I wasn't really expecting this so the extra weight came as a surprise. We both fell to the ground. I quickly recovered and looked over to James, his eyes were closed and his now pale face was sweaty.
"Logan!" I yelled panicked.
LOGANS POV
I heard Kendall yell my name and looked back, I saw James laying on the floor, Kendall sitting above him. I rushed over and pushed my finger against his neck, his pulse was weak but still there. I could feel the warmth radiating off of him, and I knew we really needed to get him out of here.
"Kendall, help me wake him up." I instructed.
Kendall and I began to gently shake James awake. His eyes blinked open and he looked around before his eyes focused on my face.
"Logan? What happened?"
"Well, you passed out."
"Sorry guys. I'm good now though, let's keep going."
He started to get up but swayed unsteadily, both Kendall and I grabbed his arms to keep him from falling.
"You alright?" Kendall asked.
"No, but we have to keep going."
I would have objected but he had a point. We couldn't afford extra time to stop and rest. We needed to get out of here and get him to a hospital. Kendall grabbed James around the waist and the taller boy leaned heavily on him as we started walking again. We walked for about a half hour before we finally saw a door-and it looked like an exit.
"Is it just me or does that look like an exit?" I asked everyone.
"Let's hope it is. We really need to get out of here." Kendall replied.
I looked back at Kendall and James. James had sunk down on the floor and was leaning against the wall. He looked horrible. He was pale and sweaty and wincing with every breath he took. I walked over to the door and held my breath as I slowly opened it. I winced as the light from outside burned my eyes.
"Guys! It's an exit!" I exclaimed.
All of us let out a sigh of relief, except for James who seemed to have passed out again.
"Carlos, you and Mrs. Diamond go outside and see where we are. I'm gonna help Kendall with James." I instructed.
I walked over to Kendall as Carlos and Mrs. Diamond went outside. I saw Kendall biting his lip and looking at James.
"How bad is it Logan?"
"I really can't tell, but I know for sure he needs help fast. He's running a fever, his shoulder might be getting infected, his knee is swollen again, he said his dad cracked a few ribs which can't feel good with all the coughing he's doing. I'm surprised he's lasted this long. Help me get him up."
Kendall and I leaned down, and each grabbing one arm, gently hoisted James up. I inwardly grunted at how heavy he was. James had always been to biggest out of us 4. He had the awkward chubby stage but in middle school he had a major growth spurt. He began working out and now all his weight was muscle. It didn't help that right now all his weight was dead weight too. Kendall and I began slowly walked with James in between us. We walked through the door and found ourselves in a large warehouse district. There were 4 or 5 warehouses surrounding us.
"CARLOS!" Kendall screamed.
I saw him come running from an alley towards us.
"Hey guys, we found a payphone. Anyone have a quarter?" He asked slightly out of breath.
"Uh yeah." I dug in my pocket for the quarter Kendall tossed me earlier.
"Thanks. Follow me." Carlos said jogging off.
I readjusted my grip on James and started walking across the lot. Kendall and I followed Carlos as he ran into an alley. Finally after what seemed like forever we turned a corner, and there was a payphone. We all hurried to it as quickly as we could. Mrs. Diamond was standing next to it waiting for the quarter. Carlos quickly gave it to her and she shoved it in the slot. Surprisingly the phone still worked and she was quickly connected. After a short conversation with the police about our situation they said an ambulance were on their way and would be there shortly. We sighed in relief and sat against the wall as we heard the sirens in the background.
There you go. I'm thinking one more chapter to sum everything up than maybe an epilogue. I appreciate all the reviews and story/author alerts. Y'all are awesome! Like I said PM me for story requests :)
