Hey so here are the deleted chapters I mentioned before. It takes place after chapter 8 after Carlos leaves Kelly's apartment. I was originally going to take this in a completely different direction and make Carlos get hurt but I decided not to. I'm not sure why since I actually really like these chapters. I don't actually know why I didn't use these. Ugg I should have. and also I was going to make Carlos end up with Stephanie since he couldn't be with Kelly but they are just too dang cute together so I couldn't do that. and I'm pretty sure some of you would kill me if i did that. SO yeah. Here are the deleted chapters. Tell me what you think.
Chapter 9- Her Fault
After Carlos left her apartment, Kelly was completely unable to sleep. Restless and frustrated, she headed to Rocque Records early to get some work done. When she arrived, the building was empty. She knew Gustavo and the boys were supposed to arrive for 2 more hours. Picking up a stack of paperwork from Gustavo's office, she headed to the conference room to work on it. Sure it was boring but she hoped it would help get her mind off of Carlos. Time flew by as she worked on the boring contracts. She didn't even notice that everyone was a half an hour late until she heard someone in the doorway. Looking up, she saw her boss standing there.
"I thought you guys were going to be here 30 minutes ago." Kelly said to Gustavo after glancing at the clock. "Where are the guys?" She frowned.
"Kelly." Gustavo began softly. This concerned Kelly. She'd never seen Gustavo so sad, in a way. He almost looked upset. It was unlike his usual, yelling self. "I have something I need to tell you." He said sitting down at the large black table across from Kelly.
Every second that past made Kelly more and more nervous. "What's going on?" She asked nervously.
"The dogs aren't coming in today." He stated simply. "There was an…accident. Carlos is in the hospital."
"What?" Kelly managed to choke out.
"He was hit by a car early this morning. His friends said he stormed out of the apartment this morning. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going. The dogs said he got pretty banged up." Gustavo said, trying to be sensitive. "He's in a coma right now, Kelly."
Kelly's eyes filled with tears as she looked back down at the paperwork. Her heart had stopped and she was pretty sure she was going to throw up.
"Here let me help you with some of this." Gustavo said quietly as he grabbed a stack of papers, unsure of what to do.
As she stared blankly at the papers, Kelly's mind raced. Even though she broke up with Carlos, she still loved him. More than anything.
As Gustavo read over the papers, he continually glanced up at Kelly. She hadn't moved since he broke the news to her, her brown eyes filled with tears.
"I can stay and finish this stuff." Gustavo said quietly, trying to be sensitive, which caused Kelly to snap out of her trance. "Why don't you just…go see the dogs?"
"Thank you." Kelly whispered, grabbing her purse and running out the door.
Weaving in and out of the busy L.A. traffic, Kelly made it to hospital in record time.
"What room is Carlos Garcia in?" She shakily asked the nurse at the front desk.
Flipping through papers, the nurse scanned the pages for his name. "ICU, Room 343." She replied giving Kelly a sympathetic smile.
Kelly thanked her and headed directly to the nearest elevator. Making her way up to the 3rd floor, tears began to stream down her face.
"His friends said he stormed out of the apartment this morning. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going." Gustavo's words echoed in her head.
It was her fault.
Her fault that Carlos was upset.
Her fault that he was hurt.
Her fault that he was fighting for his life.
What if he never woke up? She would never be able to forgive herself. She should have never fallen in love with him. She should have never put him through all this. But she loved him.
The elevator let out a ding, informing Kelly that it had reached the third floor. Stepping out into the hallway, Kelly slowly made her way down the hall. Once she reached room 343 she froze. She wanted to see Carlos but she was afraid. What was he going to look like? Would his friends be there? Would they be mad?
Gathering up all the courage she had, Kelly gently pushed open the door. James, Kendall and Logan, all sitting in chairs next to Carlos's bed, turned to look at her as they heard the door open. Kendall was the first to react, getting up and walking up to Kelly.
"Thank you for coming." Kendall said giving her a hug.
Kelly was surprised by this action but she didn't mention it. Kendall ushered her over to Carlos's bedside and pulled up a chair for her. Nervously she shifted in her chair. She was afraid of what they would say to her. She didn't know how they felt about her and Carlos.
Looking over Carlos, Kelly saw he had a few cuts and scrapes on his arms and face. The most noticeable injury was the thick white bandage wrapped around his head. She was sure that if she asked, Logan would give her a long-winded explanation of what Carlos's injuries were. But she didn't want to know. She didn't want to know that damage she caused. She just wanted him to be ok.
It was weird for Kelly to see him like this. He was so pale and lifeless. It was so unlike him. The boy that never stops moving hadn't moved since she entered the room. And this scared Kelly.
"You know he loves you." Logan said breaking the silence.
Kelly looked up confused.
"He never told us you two were…dating but it was obvious he loved you." James assured, giving her a smile.
"We've haven't seen him this happy in a long time." Logan added quietly. "He's our best friend and we want the best for him."
"If you really love him, we want you two to be happy. We're not going to judge." Kendall said softly.
"We care about both of you. We just want you to be happy." James continued.
"Thank you." Kelly said tears falling down her face. "That really means a lot to me that you guys feel that way."
James put one arm around Kelly and pulled her into the room. The four sat in silence, praying for Carlos to wake up.
Chapter
James, Logan and Kendall made their way to the hospital to see Carlos. With Big Time Rush put on hold, they spent all day with him, praying he would wake up. Taking the elevator to the third floor, they made their way to room 343.
As they approached Carlos's room, his parents walked out.
"Good morning boys." Mr. Garcia said, smiling slightly.
"What are you guys doing here so early?" Kendall asked. "I thought visiting hours didn't start until 9?"
Since Carlos's parents arrived in LA a week earlier, they had been there everyday along side the 3 boys.
"The doctors called us early this morning and asked us to come it to talk about some things." Mr. Garcia explained.
"Why don't you go see him? We have to go discuss something with the nurses right now." Carlos's mom said tears falling out of her eyes but yet a smile was plastered on her face.
Confused the three boys entered Carlos's room, only to find him lying in his bed in the same position he had been in all week, eyes shut tight.
"Hey buddy." Kendall said softly pulling up a chair next to Carlos's bed. James and Logan did the same.
"Your parents seemed happy today." James said.
"Happy is an understatement." Carlos mumbled, slowly blinking his eyes open.
The three boys leaped up out of their chairs, scared. Logan was the first to react to Carlos's awakening, diving at the bed and pulling Carlos into a hug.
"And that's pretty much how my mom reacted, except there was a lot more crying." He laughed painfully.
"Sorry." Logan said pulling away from him. James and Kendall took their turn giving Carlos a hug.
"Dude you gotta watch where you're going." James joked, tears forming in his eyes as he sat back down.
"We were so terrified we were going to loose you." Kendall said, starting to cry too.
"I'm sorry guys. I really am. I messed up big time. I shouldn't have run away like that. I shouldn't have been keeping secrets from you guys." Carlos said.
"It's ok man. But you know you can tell us anything." Logan said. "We'll understand."
"I'm a horrible friend." Carlos continued, ignoring Logan's comment. "I lied to you guys, I jeopardized the band and put all of our jobs in danger just because I was selfish. I almost ruined everything"
"Carlos stop." Kendall said softly. Carlos quickly shut his mouth, waiting to hear the fate of their friendship. "Yeah we are a little upset you didn't tell us but you're our best friend. We support you no matter what."
"What ever happens, happens. We just want you to be happy. Your happiness is more important to us than a stupid band." James reassured him.
"You really mean that?" Carlos said, crying now.
"Of course." Kendall said. "You're our brother, man."
"Yeah we love you." Logan said.
"Thank you." Carlos said closing his eyes, exhausted by the day's events.
