Day Twenty-Nine: I screamed, I yelled, I cried out his name but he wouldn't move. He just lay there, motionless.
Carlos POV
We were all out playing football on the field this afternoon. I was on team Shirts and Logan was on team Skins. I kept watching everyone get dangerously close to ridge that was on the north end of the field. Dak was having a hard time getting someone in the put up the guard fencing for it.
I could tell Logan was having a blast and playing hard. I was forty feet away and could see the sweat dripping off of him. I myself was soaked to the bone. I watched as Kendall got dangerously close to the edge. I let out a breath when he caught himself and the ball.
I looked over and saw Logan running fast after the ball. I was so infatuated with what he was doing I didn't notice where he was heading. When he disappeared I snapped out of it.
I stopped dead in my tracks. "Logan?"
I looked over at Jo whose face paled. Then everything clicked.
"OH MY GOD!" I screamed as I bolted towards the ridge.
I ran as fast as I could over to the ridge. I got down on my knees and looked down.
I saw him lying on the rocks below, motionless. "LOGAN!" I screamed no movement.
"LOGAN!" I screamed over and over again but he didn't move.
I was suddenly being pulled away from the ridge by my arms. I was sobbing hard and still screaming his name. People were running past me and over to the ridge.
Kelly and Dak were on their cell phones. People were panicking. I was panicking. I broke out of James and Kendalls grasp and ran over to the ridge. When I almost reached it I was being pulled back again.
"LET ME GO! I NEED TO KNOW IF HES OK!" I screamed.
Minutes must have passed. My sense of time was completely slurred. People with equipment were bolting to the ridge and jumping off of it, landing safely at the bottom.
I watched in horror as Logan was pulled up the ridge on a stretcher, his body completely motionless. When they went passed me I tried breaking out of James and Kendall's hold but they were to strong.
Kelly came running over to me. "Carlos-Carlos honey, calm down. Deep breaths. Carlos it's going to be ok. Logan's going to be ok."
I watched as they loaded him into the ambulance. I saw a paramedic holding something to his head trying to stop the bleeding. My heart sped up and I couldn't think straight anymore.
"Carlos calm down, Honey it's going to be ok. CAN WE GET A PARAMEDIC OVER HERE!" She screamed.
"I-I. CAN'T. BREATH." I was able to get that out before everything went black.
48 hours later…
I could hear a faint beeping sound in the background but everything was dark. I could move my hand, so I lifted it up. Then I realized, I had my eyes closed. I slowly opened them, the light from the room stung.
I looked over and saw my mom looking out the window.
"M-Mom?" I asked still confused.
She shot around and about flew out of her seat.
"Carlos! Oh my god you're awake!"
"Ho-How long was I asleep?" I asked, still confused.
"Two days." She said with a sad smile. "You had everyone worried."
Then I remembered Logan…
"Mom! Where's Logan!" I asked trying to get out of bed.
"Carlos you have to stay in bed." She said pushing me back down.
I wasn't going to have it; I really needed to see Logan. "Mom! Let me go! I have to see LOGAN!" I screamed.
"Carlos! Please stop! You have to stay in the bed!" She said starting to cry.
"I NEED TO SEE LOGAN!" I yelled.
"He's in the ICU honey. You can't, not right now."
"I DON'T CARE! I HAVE TO SEE HIM!" I screamed.
She was frantically hitting the nurse's button. People came running into the room. I felt something stab me in the arm and I screamed, then everything went black.
24 hours later… Three days since the accident…
I awoke very calm, like calm to point where the bed felt like I was floating on heaven. I opened my eyes to see my mom next to me, her head resting on my chest.
"Mom?" I asked.
She shot up and looked at me. "Please don't freak out again." She said with tears in her eyes.
"I wouldn't be able to if I wanted too. I think they drugged me. I feel like I'm floating."
"They did drug you. You sprained your neck really bad when you freaked out the first time, that's why I didn't want you to move." She explained.
"Oh. Is Logan alright?" I asked.
Her face paled and she looked everywhere but at me. "Please tell me he's alive." I said as a tear rolled down my face.
"He's alive honey, but not the same."
"Wh-What do you mean not the same?" I asked.
"I think it's better if he told you. Here, take my hand."
She held her hand out and I slowly got out of bed, making me hiss from the pain in my neck. When I got out of the bed, she placed a kiss on my head. "I love you honey."
"Love you too mom." I said as I fully stood up.
We walked out of the room and into another hallway. When we reached a door, I let out a shaky breath. When she opened it, I looked in. I saw Logan on the bed, starring at the ceiling.
"Can we come in Joanna? Carlos is awake." My mother said.
Logan's head shot up and I smiled. "Sure." She said walking over to us.
She bent down and looked into my eyes. "Do not hurt him." She said before taking my mom out of the room.
I walked over to the bed and sat next him.
"Hi." I finally said breaking the silence.
"Carlos."
"Yeah?"
"I landed on a rock." Was all he said.
"I don't follow…"
"I landed on a rock. I can't move my right leg." He said as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"Like? Paralyzed?" I asked
"Yeah." He said rather silently.
"Are you paralyzed for life or can you recover?" I asked.
"They said with therapy it should be better in a month, but they can't promise anything." He was full on crying now.
I took his hand in mine and he looked at me funny.
"You're not going to leave me are you?" He asked.
"What! I wouldn't leave you! Why would you think something like that?"
"Because… Now I'm a cripple." He said softly.
"Yeah, but you became one under my watch. I should have listened to my instincts and not let you play. I'm not going anywhere Logan. I will help you though this. We will get through this, together." I said placing a kiss on his forehead.
"I can't go back to camp…"
"Then I won't either."
"But then you'll miss out on all the fun and just be stuck with me all bored."
"I've never once been bored around you, why would I start now."
He smiled and I bent down to kiss him. The kiss was soft and passionate. When we broke apart I just starred at him.
I broke the stare when my phone buzzed I flipped it open and read it. I chuckled out loud.
"What's it say?" He asked.
"Dak's worried we're going to sue him."
"Tell him I want five grand so we can get an apartment and we will be good."
I chuckled and sent Dak the text.
I bent back down and kissed Logan on the lips again, when we broke apart, I placed my forehead on his.
"So what now?" I asked.
"We get the fuck out of here and go get Mc Donalds. The food here is shit."
I laughed and pressed the nurses button.
Sorry it was like.. Short and rushed. R&R please.
