"Mom?" Kendal asked.

"Yes Hun?"

They were sitting in the room with everyone else. Carlos, James and Katie were asleep and Logan was still in his coma.

"Do you believe in life after death?"

"I believe that if you believe in god, that when you die he will take good care of you."

"If you had the option… Would you change anything in your past?"

"Not one thing honey. What with the questions?"

"I guess I'm just feeling guilty… You know about the Mercedes thing. None of this would have happened if I would have just gone along with the plan."

"Don't beat yourself up honey. You were doing what you thought was right."

Kendal put his hands behind his head and slumped over.

"I know. I just feel so bad."

He looked up. He sat there looking at Carlos, James and Logan. A tear streamed down his face.

"It'll be ok honey. Life takes us through many hurtles but we always get over them."

"But…"

"Honey it'll all be ok. Don't beat yourself up over the past. The most important thing right now is that you all are alive…"

"Well three of us are… Logan…"

"He's alive. Just in a deep sleep. Don't worry, he will wake up."

"Thanks mom."

"Your Welcome, It's my job." She said smiling at him.

Katie's head was on his shoulder. He laid his head back onto her head. As he did she whispered to him.

"Everything's going to be ok…" She whispered.

"I know." Kendal whispered back.

Kendal closed his eyes and slowly drifted into another world. A world without pain. A world without crime… A peaceful world.

He was startled awake by a familiar voice.

"Dog! Wake up!"

"Oh my god! Gustavo!" Kendal yelled.

"Shhh Don't yell! Everyone is sleeping!" Kelly said.

"Kelly! I've missed you so much!" Kendal said standing up and hugging her.

"I've missed you too!" She said chuckling and pulling him off.

"Wheres my hug!" Gustavo said sarcastically.

"Psht! Anyway… What are you guys doing here? Where is everyone's parents?"

"We will tell you what we are doing here after Logan wakes up." Gustavo said.

"Tell us what, when I wake up?" Logan said

"OH MY GOD! Logan your awake!" Kendal yelled.

Kendal Limped as fast as he could over. Gustavo and Kelly walked over too.

"I was starting to think you weren't going to wake up." Kendal said.

"You can't get rid of me that easy." Logan said

"I guess not." Kendal said, a tear rolling down his face.

"Logan…?"

"Katie?"

"Oh my god! Logan your awake!" Katie yelled.

Katie ran over. She wrapped her arms around Logan, tears streaming down her face.

"Logan! I'm so glad you're alive!" Katie yelled crying.

"Me too." Logan said chuckling.

"Welcome back sport!" Jen said ()

"Thanks Mama Knight." Logan said smiling.

"Notice any familiar faces?" Kendal asked.

"Well yes… And please tell Carlos to stop staring at me smiling… It's creeping me out."

Carlos was laying in his bed just looking over smiling.

"Carlos? Stop that and get over here." Kendal said.

"I wish I could…"

"What?" Kendal asked.

"I can't move… I'm so sore." Carlos said reaching his finger over the button for the nurse.

The nurse walked in. Only two words came out of Carlos' mouth.

"Pain Killer…"

The nurse just smiled. She then looked over to see everyone around Logan.

"Oh! He's awake! Let me go get the Doctor and Carlos' meds." She said.

She walked out of the room and a doctor came bursting into the room.

"Ah! So it's true! You're awake!" he said.

Logan just chuckled and said the two words that Carlos had said.

The doctor walked over and checked the machine and then went off to get the pain meds.

"Ok back to the faces… See anyone?" Kendal asked.

"How could I not… Kelly hasn't stopped smiling since she walked in."

Kelly's face went red.

"Wait? Gustavo where are there parents?" Kendal asked.

"Yea! I really want to see my mom and dad." Carlos said.

"Me too." James added.

No one had noticed that James had gotten out of bed and joined the group.

"Ill go get them." Kelly said.

Kelly walked out of the room and everyone went silent. They were just all looking at each other with confused looks.

"Wait? Why are you here Gustavo?" James asked.

"To take you back to Los Angeles, of course." Gustavo said smiling.

"Wait What?" Carlos asked

Because Gustavo could answer people flooded into the room.

"My baby!" Carlos' mom screamed.

"Mom! Wait no please! Don't touch me!" Carlos said

"What? Are you not glad to see us?"

"Of course I am but I'm insanely sour. If you touch me Id probably scream."Carlos said.

Carlos' mom and dad pulled up chair and sat next to him asking what happened.

James parent walked in and His mom about trampled him.

"Mom! You're going to knock me over!" James said.

"I know but I'm just so glad that you are ok!"She said.

"Wheres dad? And your squeezing me to death!" He said.

"That asshole said he had business plans and that is why I divorced him. He cares more about his job then his own son!" She said.

James didn't say anything else he just stood there hugging his mom.

Logan's mom came in and passed out. Gustavo caught her on her way down.

"Thanks for catching my wife!"Logan's dad said.

"Well I wasn't going to let her hit the floor!" Said Gustavo.

Carlos reached over and hit his emergency button. Three nurses came running in.

"Logan's mom passed out and I really need those pills."Carlos said.

"Oh yes, moms passing out tends to happen when they see there kids hooked to machines. Ill go check on your pills. The other two nurses will take care of the mom."She said.

"Thanks."Carlos said.

"Of course my mom had to be the one to pass out!"Logan said.

"Hush mister! You doing ok?"Logan's dad said chuckling.

"Ha-ha yes I'm doing ok dad. Just sour. Kendal can you pull Katie off me? My chest is starting to hurt."Logan asked.

"Come on Katie Let go! You can cling to me."Kendal said.

Without hesitating Katie let go and clinged to her brother.

"Uh! Thanks! I can breathe again!"Logan said chuckling.

"Ok… Gustavo… Start talking!" James said.

"Well ummmm. I ummmm."Gustavo started.

"Boys, you are coming back to L.A. with us. Gustavo had been saving for years to buy his studio from Griffin and he finally did. Which means you guys can make your dreams come true without worrying all the time. We played your demo for two different companies and you now have investors."Kelly said.

"Yea… What she said."Gustavo said.

"Sounds good. I mean we lost everything here… What have we got to loose?"Carlos said.

"Well… Ummm… Actually… We didn't loose everything…."Jen said.

Kendal sat up. "What do you mean mom?"

"Well I had the house Insured for twice as much as its worth… I decided to do that… Well because you four were living there."

"Wait so you insured it for four hundred thousand dollars?" Kendal asked.

"Yep! So we can afford to do this even if we already have investors!" Jen said.

Logan's mom was just waking up.

"Logan! Are you ok!"

Logan's mom ran over to hug him.

"I'm fine mom! I'm fine! But I'm sore, please let go!"Logan begged.

"Sorry!" She said.

"It's ok."Logan said.

Suddenly, everyone was startled by nurses flooding into the room.

"Hello everyone. I'm going to need everyone except the four boys to leave the room."

Everyone quickly scampered out of the room.

"How is everyone?"The nurse asked.

"Sore…"They all said.

"That's normal."She said

One of the nurses touched Carlos and he screamed.

"Ah! Stage four of your snake bite… The venom is almost out of your system. This is the last stage of the symptoms. Just make sure to tell everyone not to touch you because it will seriously hurt."She said.

The nurse then gave Carlos his pain meds and walked over to Logan.

"Ok sir. You will have to stay over night. Luckily you suffered no brain damage. You should return back to normal within 36 hours."

The nurse then gave Logan his pain meds and turned to James.

"How are you feeling?"She asked.

"I'm fine. Little scraped up but I'm fine." He said.

"Hey Julie? Get James some band aids."The nurse said to the other nurse smiling.

"I don't need band aids!"James proclaimed.

"Julie. Make them Pink band aids!"The nurse said to the other nurse.

She turned around smiling. James just glared at her then sat down in the chair.

"Ah yes! Screamo Kendal!"She said

"Screamo Kendal?" He asked.

"That's what all the patients call you… You know after you screamed the entire time they were fixing your leg…"She said smiling.

Kendal got red and the others laughed.

"Here, here are pain killers for your leg."

"I don't need them!"He said.

"Look, either take the dam meds or Ill get Gustavo to give them to you!"She declared.

Kendal quickly nodded his head and gulped down the pills.

"Thank you! See, everything's easier to do when you just cooperate."She said looking over at James.

James got beet red.

"Well! Looks like you guys are the lucky ones… You will all recover and you can put this whole thing behind you! You should be out of here in two days!"She said

They all nodded there heads and she left the room.

"So, what do you guys think? Ready to become famous again?" Kendall asked.

"Aw, hell yea!"Carlos said smiling.

Two days later….

The four boys were walking out of the plane. It was there first breath of fresh air in days.

"Well… You guys ready?"Kendal asked.

"Let's go for it!" James said.

"I agree!"Carlos and Logan said simultaneously.

Kendal and James looked over at them.

"What?" They said again together.

"Nothing… Just glad we are all ok."Kendal said.

And with that… The boys walked off the planes platform and off to the airport they went.
