Chapter 10
James was gone.
That was the first thing Logan realized when he skidded to a stop. He remembered taking off when he heard James' voice count to three. He remembered looking back at the club and running through a forest. He remembered being on the road and stopping to see that James was not with him.
James lied. He said that they'd run. But he let Logan run instead. But Logan wasn't mad at him. He knew James did that so Logan could escape, just like James knew that he would only slow Logan down. If only Logan knew what state James was in now.
A hand on his shoulder interrupted him from his thoughts. He flinched and tried to run, but the hand grabbed him and turned him around. His eyes met the ones which belonged to a friendly-looking man in a uniform. A cop. But it didn't make Logan any calmer.
"No, let go of me! Please!" He yelled.
The cop looked at him strangely and said, "Hey, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you."
Logan heard what the cop said, but he couldn't calm down. "No, please! Help! Please don't touch me!" Why am I scared of a cop? He can help me. But Logan didn't listen to his own thoughts.
"Rita!" The cop called out.
A lady in uniform – Rita – came out of a car which Logan didn't notice was there. Rita was a female cop. "What's wrong, Dean?" she asked. Then, she noticed the boy in his arms and went over to him. "Hey, what's wrong?"
Logan trembled and sobbed. "Please don't hurt me."
Rita came closer and gently placed a hand on his cheek. "Sweetie, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you, okay? I'm a police officer." Then she noticed Logan trying to escape the cop – Dean's – grip. "Dean, let him go."
Dean took his hands off of Logan and the boy stumbled forward, into Rita's arms. She was taller than him by an inch.
"It's okay. I won't hurt you. My name's Rita, what's yours?" She asked, stroking the sobbing boy's hair.
"I-I'm Logan." Logan replied.
Rita nodded, but then her eyes grew wide. "Wait, Logan Mitchell?"
Logan nodded, and pulled away from her embrace. "J-James is still in there. H-he told me t-to run."
Rita smiled. "Okay, we'll find him. Don't worry. But we need to take you to a hospital to check on your condition, okay?"
Logan shook his head. "No! I just wanna go home! Take me to the Palm Woods."
"Sweetie, we need to take you to the hospital first, but after that, you can go home, okay?"
Logan sniffed and finally nodded.
Rita helped him to the police car, but when Dean touched him, he yelled, "No! Don't touch me! Rita, help!"
Dean immediately let go and shared a glance with Rita. The same thing was going through their minds. It was the only explanation for Logan's behavior.
….
"You found him? Really? Is he okay? What? Okay, we'll be right there!" Mrs. Knight said and hung up.
"What's going on?
"Did they find them?"
"Is there any news?"
Mrs. Knight sighed at all the questions. "They found Logan near a forest. He's in the hospital right now, just for a check up. We need to go there."
She was answered by staring eyes and silence. She took a deep breath. "NOW!"
Everyone scrambled to take their things, and a minute later, they were on their way.
….
Logan looked around, anxiety passing through his body. Why were those people taking pictures of him? What were they doing things to his body? Luckily, all of them were women, if there was a man doing that to him, he'd yell and run away. Then, a nurse went over to him, a box in her hand. He read what was on it, and it was something he thought he'd never have to see. It was a rape kit.
The nurse smiled at him, putting the box next to him. "Are you okay with this, Logan?"
Logan took a deep breath. He didn't have to do this. He already knew what happened to him, and that it would turn out negative, but he wasn't sure. What if one of those men did something to him while he was unconscious? He was hesitant, but he nodded.
….
"Logan Mitchell?"
Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Diamond, Kendall, Carlos and Katie all stood up as the female doctor called Logan's name.
"Are you all family?" The doctor asked.
"I'm her mother, but all of them deserve to know." Joanna Mitchell said.
The doctor sighed. "Are you sure? Because there are some things I suppose only his family should know."
Joanna nodded. "We are all family. Tell us what we need to know."
The doctor sighed again. Everyone knew it wasn't a good sign. "Logan had little physical harm. He has a bruise near his left eye, rope burns on his wrists and ankles, and a few bruises on his arms."
Everyone felt relieved.
"But…"
The atmosphere felt tense.
"…he um, according to the police who found him, he was acting strange, like he didn't wanna be touched, but he let females touch him. We ran um, we ran a rape kit, and-"
"Please don't." Joanna Mitchell said, before the doctor said anything else. "Please don't tell me my son was… please don't."
The doctor nodded. "Don't worry. It came out negative. But, according to the statements he gave us and the cops, he seemed to be sexually molested. Even if he wasn't raped."
Joanna buried her face in her hands and let Jennifer Knight hug her and soothe her. "Carlos, take Katie to the cafeteria and buy something." Mrs. Knight said. She knew that Carlos was too child-like to hear it, and that Katie was just too young.
Normally, Katie would disagree or complain, but this time, she knew that it was serious, and she didn't want to hear anything worse. So she let Carlos take her hand and walked to the cafeteria.
"Can we see him?" Kendall asked.
The doctor nodded. "But I suggest you don't touch him unless he can trust you. He's in room D3."
The small crowd went into the room and saw Logan, sitting on the bed, just staring at the wall. He glanced at them for a moment, before staring back at the wall. Everyone's hearts dropped seeing him like this. There indeed was a bruise near his eye, and rope burns visible on his wrists, but the worst was the hand-shaped bruises surrounding his arms. They were all wrong, his mental state was the worst thing.
"Oh Logan. What did they do to you?" Joanna cried, running over to Logan and hugging him. It caught him off guard for a moment, but when he realized it was his mom, he hugged her back, just a little too tightly, like he did to James when he saved him from being… no, he's not gonna think about it.
James. It got to him again. What happened to James after he escaped? Did James end up being hurt? Was it worse? Or, did James take his place of… No! He won't think about it! No! NO!
"NO!" Logan didn't mean to, but it slipped out of his mouth.
Joanna, clearly stunned, pulled away from him and stared at him with teary eyes. "Logan, what's going on? Oh sweetie, they hurt you bad, didn't they?"
Tears streamed down Logan's face as he remembered – as hard as he tried to forget it – all the things that happened to him and was close to happening. "Mom, it was so bad. I don't want it happening again." He whispered.
"Okay, sweetie. It's alright, you're safe now, okay?" Joanna said, rubbing the back of his palm using her thumb.
The others stared at the scene in front of them, debating whether or not to join it. Kendall decided to.
"Logan?" He said, walking towards him.
Logan looked up and met Kendall's eyes. He looks familiar, do I know him from somewhere?
"Logan, are you okay?" Kendall mentally slapped himself. Stupid question! Stupid! "Logan?" he reached out a hand and gently touched Logan's shoulder.
"NO!" The smaller boy shouted. "Please, don't touch me. Please, please, please…" he chanted.
Kendall looked at the others in shock before looking back at Logan. "Logan? Loges, it's me, Kendall. I'm your best friend. No, correction, I'm your brother. Logan?"
Logan didn't answer. He just looked around in confusion. He saw Mrs. Knight, Kendall, and Mrs. Diamond. I know them, but, who are they? Then he looked at Kendall. What's his name? Kendall? Why do I feel close to him? Is he really my brother?
"Kendall?" He said, not meaning to, but he said it.
"Yeah?" Kendall asked.
Logan quickly thought of something. He remembered James and one other guy, but he didn't know his name. He knew it started with the letter C, but the name, he didn't know. "Where's um, where's C-C-Ca…" He trailed off, not sure if it was right. He remembered the name having a C and an A, and after that, he didn't know. What are the names with 'C's and 'A's? Calvin, Carl, Carlos, Carter…
"You mean Carlos?" Kendall asked.
Carlos! That's it.
Logan nodded. "Yeah, um, where's Carlos?"
"He's in the cafeteria with Katie."
Katie? Where do I know that name? Katie…
"Katie is my sister, Logan. Just in case you didn't know." Kendall said, as if reading his thoughts.
Kendall's phone beeped and he looked at it to see a text from… Camille?
I heard about Logan, I'm in the hospital right now, which room is he? – Camille
Kendall texted back.
Room D3, n if u c Carlos n Katie in the cafeteria, tell them 2 come up 2 – Kendall
Not a minute later, his phone beeped again.
Ok, thanks. Jo's here 2, oh, I just saw Carlos n Katie. – Camille
Kendall didn't reply, but then his phone beeped again, this time a text from Jo.
I c u, turn around – Jo
Kendall turned around and suddenly found himself in a kiss with Jo. They pulled apart and Kendall asked, "When did you get in here?"
Jo laughed. "When Camille said that we just saw Carlos and Katie, we were already walking through the door."
Kendall smiled and looked behind her to see Carlos, Katie, and Camille standing there. Camille smiled and then she rushed over to Logan's side.
Logan saw Camille and thought. That girl is so familiar, who is she?
Kendall looked nervous. "Camille, I don't think you should-"
SLAP!
Logan brought his hand up to his stinging cheek, then his eyes widened.
Flashback
"Logan!"
Logan turned around and saw his girlfriend, Camille, running towards him, looking like she was about to tackle him. Logan brought his hands up to protect himself, but Camille jumped on him and tackled him to the ground.
SLAP!
Logan brought his hand to his stinging cheek and he was suddenly in a kiss with his girlfriend.
Another flashback.
Logan looked at Kendall and Jo, who was passionately kissing in front of him. Camille was at his side and oh, he wanted to kiss her right then and there. He looked back towards Kendall and Jo, who pulled apart as Kendall said, "I never thought our first kiss, would be our last."
Logan looked at Camille and said, "Well, don't you want me to remember something about you?"(A/N: This flashback part is from Big Time Concert, but I'm not sure if this was what Logan said. So I apologize for the mistakes.) He leaned in close to Camille, expecting a kiss. He saw Camille smiling while saying, "Of course." And he expected a kiss, but he felt a tight slap instead and fell.
Flashback over.
"Camille?" Logan asked. Wow. A tight slap from her made me remember.
Camille smiled and kissed Logan passionately. When they pulled apart, she said, "Don't ever think I would let you forget me!"
Logan looked around the room again and saw that his mom, Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Diamond were all gone.
"Where's my mom?" he asked, directing it to Kendall.
"Oh, she went to sign some papers while you were zoning out, my mom and Mrs. Diamond are with her." He replied.
Logan nodded and looked at Carlos and Katie, who hadn't said a word since they got there. Katie noticed it and walked over to Logan. "Logan," she started, "honestly, are you okay? What did those people do to you?"
The horrible memories were floating back into his mind. He wanted to say, 'No, Katie. I'm not okay. They groped me, sexually assaulted me, and almost raped me.' But he knew Katie was just an 11-year-old girl, no matter how mature she was. So he said, "Yeah, Katie. I mean, I'm not really okay, but those people did something really bad to me, and James, but, I'm here now, I'm safe. And trust me. I'll be okay."
Logan hated to lie. He. Was. Not. Okay. But he will be, right? I'll be okay. The police will find James, and everything will be back to normal. Big Time Rush will continue it's career. And everything will be kittens and rainbows and wonderful things with happy endings. I'll eventually forget about everything bad which happened to me and everyone will eventually move on, right?
Boy, how wrong he was.
….
Okay, that's it now. So sorry I didn't update as fast as usually, but it's all I got right now. And sorry for making this chapter without James.
So, I thought that I didn't include Jo or Camille lately, so I just did, in this chapter and the previous one. So, any ideas? Feel free to tell me!
And R&R please! Reviews are like candies!
