Livin' it Big Time

Chapter 11: Kogan Forever

"O.k. Logie you ready to get out of here?" Carlos asked as he accidentally smashed the wheelchair into a bunch of people. Logan just laughed.

"I guess some people never change…" Logan laughed.

"Oh Carlos…" Kendall sighed. "Here Logan…" Kendall laughed as he got the wheelchair out of the pile.

"Why can't I wheel Logan out of the hospital…I'm his best friend…" Carlos said.

"But I was his best friend first…" Kendall said.

"By a day…" Carlos defended himself.

"Besides…I really don't want you hurting him…" Kendall said. "After what you did here… Lord knows what your going to pull off…"

"Kendall it's Carlos…He can't help it…Ignore him Carlos…You can get the crutches by the bed for me if you wanna…" Logan smiled.

"O.k." Carlos wobbled off.

"I can't wait to get out of here…" Logan said as he and Kendall were in the elevator with Carlos.

"I know…It feels like we've been in here forever…" Kendall laughed.

"And thanks for being there for me these past few days…I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there for me these past few weeks…" Logan smiled.

"Are you sure you can handle the funeral next week?" Kendall asked.

"Of course I can…" Logan said. "I'm six Kendall…And six year olds are supposed to be strong…"

"You always did have that strong personality of yours…" Carlos said.

"Just like you always had that crazy personality…" Kendall laughed.

"Hey! It's not a personality…It's more like a lifestyle…" Carlos laughed.

The three boys made their way to Mrs. Knight's car, and Logan couldn't be happier. He and Kendall had been kept in the hospital for two weeks. Logan had to be kept longer, since he had spiraled into a depression as soon as he found out the news that his parents were gone. But he was also happy. He was finally going to be Kendall's brother. For real this time. Bryan Knight heard about what had happened, and agreed that adopting Logan would be the best for him. Carlos was a little jealous. Logan was going to be Kendall's brother. He thought that meant that Kendall would love Logan more than him. But Kendall and Logan both reassured him that they would still love him, and they still considered him a brother. James hadn't been brought up either. None of the boys thought that he was worth bringing up, if he was willing to lie to Logan about something big like his parents dying.

But what they didn't know was James was with them every single day. He went to work with his grandmother every single day after school to see the three boys. He felt guilty. He knew that lying to Logan about it was a bad idea, and he should have listened to Kendall and Carlos. Besides, they knew what was best for Logan since they knew him longer. James felt all alone now. He lived with his grandmother, since his father was once again away on business calls. His mother Brooke Diamond was the only one there for him. She lived with his grandmother, and James loved her to death, even though she could be a little controlling. As James saw the mini van drive home he sighed. He should have never went along with the original plan.

"Here we are Logan…" Mrs. Knight smiled as she placed him in Kendall's room. There were now two beds in the room. Kendall was thrilled that Logan would be sharing a room with him.

"Thanks a lot Mrs. Knight…" Logan smiled.

"And if Carlos sleeps over…the couch can turn into a bed and he can sleep there…" Mrs. Knight explained.

"It has magical powers!" Carlos gasped. Logan just laughed at his silliness.

And Carlos did sleepover that night. He wanted to make sure that his two best friends wouldn't die on each other, and leave him all alone. As Carlos looked over to the two beds he smiled as he noticed both of them were sound asleep. Carlos looked down at a specific picture that was hanging on the wall. It was a photo of the three of them during Logan's birthday party. It was one of the best birthdays he ever went to. Well, that was because he organized it. Carlos smiled. Looking at the photo, he knew that the three of them would remain best friends no matter what happens.

The next week, Logan and Kendall returned to class. The entire classroom was excited to see that the boys had made their return and they crowded around them. Kendall and Logan thanked everyone for the cards, and the three of them made their way to the usual table. As Logan scanned the room, he noticed that James was sitting in the corner by himself. Logan shook his head as he continued on his coloring page.

"So class…Graduation is in three weeks…" Mrs. Amber said. "And I want you all to think what you want to be when you grow up…"

"You guys…" Carlos whispered.

"What's wrong?" Logan whispered back.

"Graduation is soon…and I have no idea what I want to be yet…" Carlos whispered back.

"Really?" Kendall asked. "What do you like…"

"I like lots of things…I like corndogs, I like helping people…but most of all…"

"Most of all you what?" Logan asked.

"You swear you two won't say a word…" Carlos whispered.

"Go for it…" Logan encouraged.

"I always wanted to be an actor…" Carlos said. "You know in movies…"

"That would be awesome…" Kendall said. "The three of us could be famous together…Logan could be a famous doctor, I could be a famous hockey player, and you could be a famous actor…We could be the famous trio…" Kendall said excitedly.

"That's a wonderful thought…" Logan said. "And we could all live in Hollywood so we wouldn't have to be far away from each other…"

"I'd like that idea a lot…" Carlos smiled.

"You see…You do know what you want to be when you get older…" Kendall smiled.

"I guess I do…" Carlos smiled.

That night, Logan and Kendall were in their room. Logan was lying on his bed dreaming about the promise the three boys had made. Moving out to Hollywood would be a great idea. He could still be a doctor, Kendall could play for the LA Kings, and Carlos would be an actor. It was like the stars were aligning in their vision. Kendall walked in carrying a plate of cookies.

"What you thinking about…" Kendall said as he laid beside Logan.

"The plan about moving out to Hollywood with Carlos when we're older…"

"It would be a great plan wouldn't it?" Kendall smiled.

"Think about it Kendall…Our future is bright…" Logan smiled.

"And me and you will be the best of friends forever…" Kendall laughed.

"Promise?" Logan asked.

"Promise…" Kendall smiled.
