Chapter 10: Lush Green
Carlos POV
After school I headed straight to the hospital, like I did every day since Logan went into a coma. For the first time since I started visiting Logan the receptionist wasn't there today. I wondered if something came up and she had to leave. I walked through the hall on my way to Logan's room when a voice from behind me made me stop.
"Nice to see you, boy-friend stealer. Are you enjoying what I did to Logan?" Camille must have been bailed out or escaped, with her you could never really be sure. I didn't turn to face her, I faced Logan's room knowing I wouldn't let her anywhere near that room.
"What brings you here Camille? Did you finally get admitted to the psych ward?" I knew that would get her riled up, and I smiled when she started raising her voice. She didn't know I had a plan, one that even her twisted brain couldn't figure out.
"WHAT? I'm PERFECTLY NORMAL! YOU'RE THE CRAZY ONE!" Her annoying voice echoed through the long halls and made me start laughing. I turned around and counted aloud.
"5…4…" I was still laughing while she looked furious and crazy.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HAVE YOU FINALLY LOST IT?" No Camille, you lost.
"3…..2….1….." Two security guards tackled her to the floor and put her hands in handcuffs. I kept on laughing watching her struggle against the cuffs. "Bye Camille." I waved at her knowing she wouldn't be back ever.
I entered Logan's room and immediately started freaking out. His face looked green, like he was sea-sick. I yelled for a nurse hoping Logan would be okay.
Logan POV
I relaxed for a while in the middle of the seven orbs/pillars. My mind was trying to make sense of all of this before I would head for the green orb. So far there was a version of myself asking what I would give up to be with Carlos, my mother when she was around my age asking what flaws I had that nobody had seen and the last one was James questioning me about being happy. It all sent my mind for a spin asking a lot of questions that I did not have any of the answers to. 'Who would show up next? Could I possibly fail the next one? What could they ask next?'
I shook off all of the doubt and worry and walked toward the green orb. This time I had finally gotten used to the light and the weird aspects of the room. I stood there for a while and nobody showed. I decided to walk in a straight line until I found somebody. About half an hour later I hadn't seen anybody. I remembered that the last thing I read was 'You won't get out.' I turned back when I saw it. A person was standing where I had originally started from. I ran back to the person and nearly tripped when Kendall smiled at me.
'Took you forever, I stood here since the beginning. Do you love Carlos for who he is or do you love him because he is rich?' Kendall's voice sounded so lush even if he was completely green. I thought that this question would be harder because of what the last note said.
"I love Carlos simply because he is Carlos. Money has nothing to do with it. He knows how to make me smile, what I am thinking, and whenever something is troubling me. His money can't do any of that!" I wondered if any of these would be getting harder because so far these have all been relatively easy. Before the flash of light I saw Kendall's smile fade. I opened my mouth to ask him but the flash came. Green orb gone, check. Green pillar, check. Small paragraph, check. I felt an odd sense of accomplishment until I read the paragraph.
'You love Carlos for who he is. Most people would go after the money. Are you really not after the money? The next one will stop you. Say goodbye.' My heart sank along with my entire body. I fell onto my back and stared at the ceiling wondering if he was next.
Carlos POV
The doctors examined Logan for over an hour when suddenly the green tint vanished. They stared at each other with confused looks on their face, trying to figure out what just happened. They left the room telling me to call if anything else happens.
I moved over to Logan and held his hand. It was closed like it was holding something so I naturally opened it to find a green gem. I nearly did a double take because nobody had put anything in his hand. I declared, to myself, that these gems were magic. I put the new gem in my bag along with the other three. I climbed into the bed, right next to Logan and fell asleep. Homework and responsibility could wait; I thought I was going to lose him.
I had a weird dream when I slept next to Logan. I saw seven 'thing's move into a shape but in the middle there wasn't anything. I didn't realize that those seven 'things' included the three gems I had. I woke up right after the dream ended and noticed Logan's face had a smile on it.
"I love you too Logan. If only you could help me with figuring out my dream meant." I kissed his forehead, relaxing next to him.
A/N: Another chapter will be posted later today so keep your eyes open! Thank you to all the reviewers! I hope you keep reviewing because it makes me want to write more! Have a luscious day!~RAY~
