As Kendall, Carlos, Jennifer and now Katie as well were all enjoying their breakfast, Logan entered the room. Clad in black shorts and a plain grey t-shirt, hobbling on his crutches as he made his way towards one of the empty chairs to sit down.

"Morning, guys!" Logan said as he dropped himself onto a chair his leg sticking out awkwardly. He cringed for a second when the movement jostled his injured ribs.

"Logan! You're up…" Carlos almost yelled out of pleasure.

"Morning, Logan. You sleep well?" Jennifer asked.

"and… you're dressed." Kendall muttered, ashamed that he hadn't managed to do so with just a broken arm.

"Yeah, how'd you manage that? K-dawg here, couldn't." Carlos said with a smirk.

"Thanks, Carlos." Kendall said with a glare.

"I've broken a leg before guys and I'm quite limber…" Logan said before smirking at Kendall. "I for one, can reach my toes."

Kendall glared at him as well before continuing eating his breakfast, awkwardly with his left hand.

"Where's James?" Logan asked as he missed one of his friends.

As if on cue, James came running into the kitchen, hair disheveled and only clad in boxers.

"James, morning…" Kendall said with a chuckle as he looked up at his so-not-ready friend, this was a first.

"You guys gave me a heart attack! I woke up, finding both of you out of your beds. You're supposed to be resting!" James yelled.

"James, sweetie. They're allowed out of bed and moving." Jennifer said with a amused smile.

"… recommended actually." Kendall said.

"Just, don't do that! Alright?" James said his panic finally lowering somewhat. He turned around to get dressed when he heard Kendall.

"James."

James turned around and looked at his youngest friend. Raising his eyebrows. As if to say 'What?'

"We're ok, James." Kendall said in a tone that meant true honesty.

James nodded, glancing once more at both of his injured friends before disappearing upstairs.

"He's having a hard time." Katie said concerned.

"Yeah, well. What'd you do if you've seen someone you love, die right in front of you before." Logan said.

Kendall looked up with a pained expression before returning his gaze quickly back towards his pancakes. James' had been worried about them, all of them had, but he'd seen his father die in the hospital right in front of them.

Flashback James

Mr. Diamond had been stabbed protecting his son, when they were in the middle of a bank robbery. The robber had wanted all the money, but policy as it is, the clerk behind the desk didn't know the codes of the vault. The robber got angry and got a hold of James (age 8) threatening to kill him if he didn't get his money. Mr. Diamond, being an accountant himself, tried to negotiate with the robber and the clerk to leave his son out of this and just give him the money. After what seemed like a whole meeting, Mr. Diamond got a hold of his son but the robber had other things in mind and stabbed Mr. Diamond in his chest, tearing the aorta. He bled out almost instantly and after suffering the ride towards the hospital with his son holding his hand he was not able to hold on any longer and died before they had entered the OR.

End Flashback

Kendall knew best how James felt, he'd seen his dad die right next to him too, when both him and Mr. Knight had been in a car crash.

Flashback Kendall

Kendall (age 6 and injured himself) had worried about his dad and managed to get out of the car somehow. As Kendall remembered, he'd worked his way over towards his dad, who'd looked into Kendall's eyes, smiled and breathed out his last breath.

He died right there and if it weren't for the call Mr. Knight had already made towards the police, Kendall would've died right then and there as well as he'd aggravated his own injuries while climbing out of the wrecked vehicle. He'd dislocated his shoulder and broken about 9 out of twelve ribs, one of them puncturing his right lung. Or so he'd been told… Kendall couldn't remember all of it, or didn't want to… after it had happened, the once chatter-happy kid retreated back into himself for almost a whole year. Not willing to talk and reacting to everything with hatred. Therapist said it was trauma and the only way Kendall showed his pain was being angry. Blame, he told himself. Luckily though, he had his best friends James, Carlos and Logan there. Who helped him be happy again, although a lot of anger still remained inside Kendall.

End Flashback

"I'll go talk to him." Kendall said as he slowly stood up and limped his way after his friend.

"Kendall, sweetie." Jennifer called out, halting Kendall's footsteps as he turned around towards his mother.

"Take it easy, alright?"

Kendall nodded and made his way up the stairs.

Logan breathed in deeply as Kendall left the room. "Sorry." He said sadly, he hadn't planned on bringing back sad memories.

"It's not your fault, Logie. Kendall and James… they both went through that… I can't even imagine… but they help each other. They always have, they'll be ok." Carlos said with a kind smile.

Logan smiled back at Carlos. Often the Latino seemed brain-dead with all his stunts and that stupid helmet but that was just the exterior, inside he always knew what to say and when to say it.

"Let's clean this breakfast up and do something fun today." Katie said, trying to cheer all of them up.

"Katie, I'm not sure we can do much. We have two injured boys with us." Jennifer said.

"I'm not blind mom, but there's something everybody likes and can be done, even injured." Katie said with a smile.

"What is it?" Carlos asked a dorky smile on his face.

"You'll see, you'll all see" Katie said as she disappeared from the room as well.

Logan looked up worried. "That can't be good."

A little angsty :) But I like it that way! Hope you guys enjoyed! Lemme know what you think :D
