Alright you guys...so I'm really sorry this took so long! I'm a horrible person! Here is the final chapter of The Game. I really hoped you enjoyed it! Thanks for all the reviews and alerts and all the support! Y'all rock! Now without further ado:

It has been a month since the whole ordeal. My only lasting injuries were my knee and some muscle damage in my shoulder. Thankfully my lungs didn't have any lasting damage from the Pneumonia. Gustavo had given us a few weeks off while I recuperated. I was still going through the therapy for my knee and shoulder but the doctor has cleared my yesterday to start dancing again as long as I wore my brace and took it easy. It hurt like hell but it was totally worth it. Shortly after I got out of the hospital the police found my father. He had driven off the road and straight into a tree, dying on impact. It was a bittersweet moment for my mom and I. We were glad he was out of our lives but somewhere deep down we both knew that he loved us. My mom decided to move out to LA to be closer to me. She had bought a house about a half hour from the Palm Woods so I got to see her more often.

"James! Hello..? Anyone in there?"

I was shaken from the memories to see Carlos standing in front of me waving his hand in front of my face.

"Sorry man. Just thinking."

"Alright, well whenever you're done Gustavo wanted to know if we could run the dance again. If you're in to much pain it's fine. We can do it tomorrow."

I still had to wear my brace. I'd have to wear it for at least another month and then I'd get a soft brace that I could hide under clothes easier. Gustavo had been surprisingly cooperative with all my medical needs. He was always making sure I was alright and even had Mr. X simplify our dances. My knee throbbed a bit bringing me back to the question on hand.

"Yeah I'm good. Let's run it again."

Carlos smiled and offered me a hand. I quickly took it and limped into the studio.

"Look who I found in wonderland!" Carlos joked as we walked in.

Everyone turned to look at me. Logan had been watching me ever since I got home. Constantly making sure I wasn't pushing myself to hard.

"You sure you're alright James? We can do it tomorrow." Logan asked.

"Guys I'm fine. Seriously. I'll ice my knee when we get home and everything will be fine."

"Alright. Just don't hesitate to stop if you need to." Kendall said.

"I will. I promise."

Mr. X came up and snapped at us to get into positions. We all headed to our spots and the music began. We all began dancing and singing, not a care in the world. I knew no matter what happened these guys would have my back. The song finished up and we all struck our final pose. We smiled and laughed and headed home for the day. As soon as we got home Logan carefully dragged me to the couch and got me an ice pack. I huffed as soon as I saw it.

"You promised." Logan said.

"I know, I know."

I gently took off my brace and placed to ice on my slightly swollen knee. I winced as the weight of the ice hit my knee. I looked up to see Kendall, Logan and Carlos all staring at me with concerned expressions.

"You guys, I'm fine. Stop worrying all the time! You'll all go bald!" I said laughing.

Thankfully the tension left the room and they all laughed.

"We just care about you man." Kendall said.

"I know. And I couldn't ask for a better group of friends. Thanks."

They all stood up and came over to me.

"Anytime." They all said at once.

I smiled, I realized that despite everything I had been through, my life would always be perfect. I didn't need to be famous or to be living in LA, I just needed these guys by my side.

Hope you liked! I may or may not have another oneshot coming out in the near future. It will of course have some James Whump or Angst! :D Please Review!
