It's Logan that wakes first, yawning. Lianna is still sleeping peacefully, her face buried in his chest. She's putting a lot of pressure on her injured ribs, and he knows that'll be painful when she wakes up. Gently, he tries to turn her onto her back, without waking her.
In her sleep, she whimpers, clinging onto his shirt. Logan sighs. He lifts her gently, and lays her on his chest, on her stomach. To his dismay, he finds that she's awake, looking at him with teary eyes.
"My head hurts, Logie…" she whimpers. "Can I have more medicine?"
Logan's heart breaks, as he shakes his head. "You took some four hours ago, babygirl. You gotta wait another two or three hours…"
"B-But…it hurts so much…"
Logan's cell phone blares 'Get Up', and Lianna cries out, hiding her face in his shirt. He grabs for his phone, silencing the ringer, with an apologetic glance to his sister.
"Mom? Hey! Yeah, what Ms. Diamond said is true. Yeah, she's awake. Sure, hang on," Logan says into the phone. He turns to Lianna. "Babygirl, mom's on the phone, she wants to talk to you." Lianna looks at him, her eyes lighting up. He turns her onto her back, but keeps her on his chest, and presses the phone to her ear, holding it, because she can't hold it herself.
"Mommy?" Lianna whimpers into the phone.
"Oh, baby, are you alright? I'm so sorry…" Joanna replies.
"I hurt, mommy. I hurt…"
"Oh, baby…is Logie taking care of you?"
"Y-Yeah…he's being really sweet and I love him…"
"Oh, that's good. Listen, baby, I want you to get some rest, okay? I'll call back later."
"O-Okay…bye mommy…" Lianna moves her head away from the phone, as Logan brings it up to his ear.
"Hey mom, yeah, she's not doing too good. No, you don't need to come up here, we'll be fine. Yeah, call you later. Love you too. Bye mom!"
Lianna watches him hang up and place his phone on the nightstand, whimpering. "H-Hold me…" Logan smiles at her, easing into a sitting position, and cradling her in his arms.
"Here, let's go out to the living room," He says, standing up. She whimpers, and he shifts so her head is curled into his shoulder, one arm underneath her. He carries her out to the living room, and lays her on the neon couch, before grabbing the bag of ACE bandages from a cabinet, a towel, an a bowl of warm water.
"The bandages need to be changed, babygirl. It'll hurt, and I'm sorry," Logan says, coming back over to the couch. He sets the bag of bandages, and the bowl of water on the floor, sticking the towel in his pocket.
Lianna feels her chest tighten, as she lets out a painful cough, before shaking her head. "Oww, Logie…"
"Oh, I know, babygirl. Just bear with me for a minute," he replies, lifting her shirt. Gently, he begins to unwrap the sweaty bandages, revealing Lianna's abused abdomen. She can hear his gasp of horror, and she clenches her eyes shut, as he dips the towel in the water, and begins to wash her ribcage. The rough towel scrapes against her bruised skin, and she whimpers. Finally, Logan finishes washing her ribs, and wraps new bandages around them, before pulling her shirt down. Immediately, he sits down, and pulls her to his chest, as she begins to cry.
"I know, Li, I know," He murmurs, rubbing her back.
"You're okay, baby," James murmurs, as Jenna coughs painfully into his chest. She hasn't been able to get much sleep, the coughing has kept her awake. She's begun to cough up blood, and it's scaring him.
"Jamie…" Jenna whimpers in between coughs. "My ribs and chest hurt…"
"Um…the doctor said we could ice your ribs, which helps with pain and swelling. Wanna do that?" He feels Jenna nod against him, and he slips out from under her, hushing her gently. "I'll be back in a minute, baby."
He yawns and walks out into the living room, catching sight of Logan and Lianna curled together on the couch, both asleep, Lianna's face buried in his chest, Logan's hand resting on her back, his head resting on top of hers.
He walks over to the freezer, and pulls out an icepack, then walks back to the room he shares with Jenna. She's curled around herself, whimpering, as tears slide down her cheeks.
"Oh, Jen…" He looks at her in sympathy, walking over to his bed, and sitting down next to her. "You gonna uncurl for me?"
Slowly, she uncurls, crying out in pain. James murmurs comfort, as he pulls up her shirt, placing the icepack on her bruised abdomen.
"Is that better, babygirl?"
"Yeah…" Jenna says, a tear falling down her cheek.
"C'mere," James says, pulling her into his arms, careful to keep the icepack in place.
Kit Kat, it's okay. Try to calm down," Kendall whispers, as Katie sobs into his shoulder. She doesn't feel good at all, and she's in pain, she just feels like dying right now.
"I-It hurts…" she whimpers, muzzling closer into him. She needs him. He's literally the only thing, person rather, keeping her sane, otherwise she'd be screaming, panicking.
"I know, baby sister. I know," Kendall whispers. She feels him place a kiss on her head, and begin to run his fingers through her long hair. It soothes her a little, but the pain just keeps on getting worse.
"K-Kenny…I wanna die…make it stop…" Katie mutters. She's not suicidal or anything, but this pain would make anyone beg for death.
"Oh, baby…let's go into the living room, I'm gonna ask Logan what I should do," Kendall replies, worry in his eyes. He lifts her gently, and Katie feels a fresh wave of pain flow through her. She whimpers, crying out, as tears come to her eyes.
Kendall walks into the living room, looking for Logan. The smaller brunette is curled on the couch, Lianna resting against his chest, looking at her with a sad smile on his face.
"Loges? Sorry to bother you, but Katie's in so much pain and I don't know what to do…"
Logan looks up in concern, and Kendall watches his facial expression turn to worry. "Here, Ken, give her to me. I'm going to hold her, then lift Lianna off me, okay? Just hold her, she can't tell the difference in her sleep, but if she isn't in someone's arms, she'll probably wake up."
Kendall nods, as Logan holds out his arms. He places Katie in them, before lifting Lianna into his arms and cradling her against his chest.
Logan stares at Katie, trying to diagnose her, and figure out a way to alleviate some pain.
"She's really sick, Ken. Her stomach, ribs, and chest are probably causing her the most pain," he tells the blonde. "I'd say, give her Tylenol, let her sleep for a while, maybe ice her ribs."
"Logie, I hurt…" Katie whimpers, burying her face in his chest.
"Shhh, I know, baby. And I'm gonna make it better, I promise."
Kendall starts to reply, but a loud crash cuts him off. Both Kendall and Logan look for the source of the noise, and Kendall finds it.
Carlos' room.
