Hey! Allllright I just decided to upload this today too because I was just so excited. So if you review the other chapter BEFORE you read this, then I'll dedicate the next chapter to you :) but I really don't think anyone will guess it. Unless you guess after you read this. lol enjoyy! Oh and I don't own anything.
Kendall, Carlos, Logan, and James stayed with Katie all day until Doctor Thomas came in at 11:00 and made them leave. They gave quick hugs and goodbyes and then left the hospital.
Kendall Carlos Logan and James took a bus back to the Palm Woods since they didn't have a car anymore.
When they got back to the Palm Woods Logan Carlos and James went to the elevator, but Kendall stayed behind.
"I'll be up in a second," he told them, "I just want to sit for a little."
"Are you sure?" Logan asked, "You barely got any sleep last night and your not going to be able to get up tomorrow,"
"I'll get up," Kendall said, "I just need a minute alone."
"Alright," Logan went into the elevator with James and Carlos, "But don't stay down here for too long."
"I won't," Kendall assured him. Once his friends were gone, Kendall went over and sat on the couch in the middle of the lobby. He put his head in his hands, and tried to hold in the tears.
Katie thought Kendall broke two promises: "I promise I will be here when you wake up" and "I promise I won't leave you."
But he really broke three.
"I promise I will be here when you wake up."
"I promise I won't leave you."
"I promise I won't ever let anything happen to you."
Kendall never told Katie about his promise, and now he broke it. It wasn't his fault that they got in a car accident. He didn't know they would get in a car accident when he told Katie she could go with Logan. But he still broke his promise. He was able to keep it for 11 years, but after that, it was gone.
Kendall's thoughts were interrupted when he heard something outside. He looked up and saw Jett Stetson sitting in a lounge chair, his back to Kendall. Kendall got up and went to Jett, but stopped when he saw him on the phone. He would have just gone right back up to 2J, but he didn't because he heard Jett say his name.
Kendall grabbed a tree hat out of nowhere and ducked behind the nearest bush. He sat and listened to what Jett was saying.
"Yeah, and now his sister is in the hospital." he said into the phone, "and he's really close with her. It's all going great! I even got the news station to say it was all his friends fault so that Kendall would hate him!"
Kendall's jaw dropped. That was Jett?
"I paid that man seven hundred bucks to wait at the gas station, disconnect the videos on the lights, and run through the red light."
Kendall felt his face turn red from anger and he put his hands in fists.
"But he's still talking to Jo. She even went to visit his sister!" Jett said, "but soon Kendall won't have time for Jo. He'll be too busy taking care of his baby sister when I...do something to her. Then, Jo will be all mine!" Jett sounded like an evil villain, "Then, all the fans will hate Kendall for wanting Logan out of the band, and he'll have to go back to Minnesota! Now all I have to do is get to his sister."
Kendall ripped the tree hat off his head, stood up, and threw the hat at the ground. He marched right up to Jett and grabbed the phone. He threw it with all his might.
"Hey!" Jett looked up and noticed that it was Kendall. His eyes went wide.
"Why would you do that?" Kendall asked.
"Do what?"
"I heard the whole thing!" Kendall yelled, "You tried to kill my sister!"
"Hey, hey, hey," Jett said, "I would have done it to any of your friends or family, she just happened to be sitting there!"
"I heard your whole phone conversation" Kendall said, still yelling, "You tried to kill an eleven year old girl so you could date Jo!"
"And I'm going to get Jo!" Jett said, "If you want your precious little sister to be safe, I suggest you stay away from Jo!"
"You know, I can call the cops on you!" Kendall told him.
"Yes, but no one would believe you!"
"James, Logan, Carlos, Jo, Camille, and a bunch of other people would!"
Yeah, but you wouldn't want to call the cops. I could hurt your little Katie!" he teased.
"Why are you doing this?" Kendall asked.
"Oh just get over it!" Jett said, "Your life is ruined!"
"You're just evil!" Kendall yelled, "What kind of person wants to kill an 11 year old girl?" he said, "And you know, your not just ruining my life! You pretty much ruined Logan's life too! He is going to be known as 'The Boy Who Almost Killed Kendall Knight's Sister.' for a long time! James' dream is being put on hold! And Carlos barely even wears his helmet or tells jokes anymore!" Kendall could feel a tear dripping down his cheek, but he didn't care.
"Look, I don't care if I ruin any of your friends' lives!" Jett said, "Just stay away from Jo and everything will get better."
"What are you planning on doing to Katie?" Kendall asked, a little quieter.
"I don't know yet, but I don't want to have to decide, so I would be careful," Jett told him.
"You know what?" Kendall screamed, "You can have Jo! Just stay away from my sister!" Kendall pushed Jett into the pool and ran out of the Palm Woods, back to the hospital. He wasn't about to break his promise to Katie a second time. He would rather have Katie alive than to be dating Jo anyway.
He didn't bother taking the bus and ran to the hospital that was twenty minutes away. He was out of breath by the time he got there, but he still ran straight to Katie's room. He was surprised to see Doctor Thomas outside of her room.
Panting, he started to beg him to let him stay, "I...I have to...be...with...her," he said. He felt tears coming to his eyes, but he didn't care.
"Are you alright?" Doctor Thomas asked, "What were you doing?"
"I...I ran...here from...the Palm...Woods," he said.
"Here," Doctor Thomas got a cup of water from a nurse and handed it to Kendall.
"Thank you," he said before drinking it in one sip, "I just have to be with her," Kendall said when he caught his breath, "Please." he was starting to cry.
"Actually, you can." Doctor Thomas said, "When you boys left, Katie was throwing up again. A lot, so we gave her some medicine and once she stopped we gave her some medicine to help her fall asleep. I was just about to call you saying you can come."
"Thanks you so much," he said, "So she's asleep right now?"
"Yes, but she might wake up."
"Thank you," Kendall went into Katie's room and sat beside her. She looked pale and he saw a bucket next to the bed.
Kendall took Katie's hand and held it tight, "Katie," he started, "This is all my fault. If I just let Jett have Jo, this wouldn't be happening. You wouldn't be here. Jett hired someone to go through the red light and..." Kendall started crying and had to stop talking, "I'm sorry! Jett is trying to hurt you," he said, "I don't know if you can hear me because you're asleep, but I'm not going to let that happen."
He closed his eyes and felt tears fall down his cheeks. Then he rested his head on his hand, "When you were born, I promised you I would never let anything happen to you. I kept my promise for 11 years. You were never bullied, you never got hurt, I always protected you." he said, "And now I let you down."
"No you didn't,"
Kendall's head shot up, "Katie!" he cried and hugged her so tight, "I'm so sorry, it's all my fault! Not Logan's. Not the man's. Mine!" he continued to cry, "and I'm so sorry!"
"Was all that stuff true?" Katie asked quietly, "Jett wants to hurt me?"
Kendall nodded, "I heard him talking on the phone. He, he said..." Kendall couldn't hold it in and started crying, "He..he tried to kill you," Kendall whispered, "I yelled at him and stuff...and he, he...he said if I go out with Jo...then he'll hurt you."
"All because he wants to date her?" she asked.
"Yes." Kendall said, "But he can have Jo."
"What if he still wants to hurt me?" Katie asked, eyes shining with unshed tears.
"He won't get you, I won't let him." Kendall said, "but we can't talk to Jo. Any of us."
"Aren't you sad?"
"Yeah, really sad. I love Jo...a lot, but I'd rather have you," he said, "and I'm going to make sure Jo knows that I'm sorry and I still love her."
"How?"
"I'm going to get Camille to tell her." he said.
"I'm sorry Kendall. I don't want you to break up with Jo because of me," she said.
"Don't apologize, I want you to be safe."
"Can't you call the police or something?" Katie asked.
"I would but Jett told me not to. I'm not taking any chances." he said.
"What about that other thing? About you promising me something when I was born?"
Kendall sighed, "Yeah, I promised I would never let anything happen to you, and that makes three broken promises."
"How do you remember that promise?" Katie asked, "You were only six."
"I remember everything about that day," Kendall told her.
"Can you tell me about it?" she asked hopefully.
Kendall smiled and nodded, "Well, it started out as a normal day of first grade where dad would wake me up and take me to school while mom slept in. I played hide and seek with Logan, James, and Carlos until the bell rang. Then, I had science, then ILA, then recess, then social studies, then math. After math we had lunch and recess."
Katie nodded, remembering her own first grade days.
"I finished my worksheet on addition and went to play Connect 4 with Logan." he continued, "James and Carlos came after a little bit. I beat Logan then played James. Then, I was called to the office. I got scared because I thought I was in trouble, so James came with me."
"Did you guys get in trouble a lot?" Katie interrupted.
"Almost every day," Kendall laughed, "So anyway, Mrs. Willson, the secretary told me mom was having her baby. I started freaking out and went back up to my classroom to get my stuff. Mr. and Mrs. Garcia picked me up since mom and dad were both at the hospital. We waited for a really long time. We got ice cream, and played in the play area for a long time. Someone knocked over Carlos' building and I remember sticking up for him," he smiled.
"I can picture that," Katie said.
"James and Logan got there right before dad came out and told me you were born." Kendall felt sick talking about his father, but he continued anyway, "I went with him to see you. You were born in room 209. Mom was in there holding you and when I saw you..." he closed his eyes and pictured Katie as a baby, "You were the most beautiful baby I ever saw. So then mom let me hold you. While I was holding you, mom told me your name was Katie. I told her the week before that I loved the name Katie."
"So you named me?" Katie asked.
"I guess so," Kendall smiled, "So then, I promised you that as your big brother, I would never let anything happen to you."
"Well thank you for keeping me safe." Katie said.
"Until now." Kendall whispered.
"Just keep going," Katie commanded.
"Well, then Carlos' family came in and Carlos got to hold you." Kendall said, "that's where that one picture is from. Then Carlos almost dropped you and wasn't aloud to hold you for another couple months. Then, Logan and his parents came in and Logan was to scared to hold you. But after a little while I got him to agree and he held you. Then, James went in with his parents and James held you, and then they all left. A nurse came in and took pictures of us which are the pictures in the kitchen. Then I gave you the gifts I had for your zeroist birthday."
"Zeroist?" Katie asked.
"That's what I called it." Kendall told her.
"What were the gifts?"
"Well, I don't know if you knew this, but I saved up money when mom and dad first told me I was getting a baby sister, and I bought Mr. Monkey."
"You got me Mr. Monkey?" Katie asked.
"Yup!" Kendall said. Mr. Monkey was Katie's favorite stuffed animal that she slept with every night, "And I forgot, I brought him here this morning but I forgot to give him to you."
Kendall got up and went to the corner and pulled out an old, worn out monkey.
"Thank you!" Katie held him tight then grabbed Kendall's hand again.
"I also got you a kit-kat because I didn't know babies couldn't eat candy. I was really disappointed when mom told me that, and this is gross, but I still have it."
"You have an eleven year old kit kat!" Katie asked, "Thats disgusting!"
"I know. Then I also got you a ring, because girls like jewelry. It obviously didn't fit you, and I still have that too." Kendall said.
"Can I have it?"
"Yeah, as soon as I get home." Kendall said, "so then, we kind of just sat around and talked and watched some TV. Mom and you had to stay at the hospital overnight so me and dad slept with mom, but you had to sleep in a different room. And that's pretty much it."
"Thanks." Katie said, "I like that story."
Before Kendall could respond, his cell phone rang, "One sec." he said, "Its Logan."
"Hello?"
"Kendall where are you?"
"I'm with Katie, sorry."
"Did you sneak in again?" Logan asked.
"No, but Doctor Thomas wanted me to come because Katie was throwing up again."
"Is she okay?"
"I think she might be sick," Kendall told him.
"Check."
Kendall rolled his eyes, pushed Katie's bangs out of the way, and felt her forehead, "She's a little warm."
"Is she sleeping?"
"No, she's awake."
"Maybe she should sleep." Logan suggested.
"Alright, thanks Logan, bye."
"Bye."
"Sorry," Kendall said, "oh and I forgot to ask if you were felling okay?"
"I guess so, why?"
"Well, you were throwing up." Kendall said.
"Oh yeah, well I feel pretty good, but I'm kind of tired."
"Yeah, maybe you should get some sleep."
"Okay, are you leaving?" Katie asked.
"Nope!" Kendall said, "I'll be sleeping in this chair so you can wake me up if you need me."
"Thanks Kendall," she said.
Katie fell asleep quickly, and Kendall eventually fell asleep in his chair. But it felt like right when he fell asleep, Katie woke him up.
"Kendall!" she whispered, poking him.
"Mhm?"
"Kendall?" she said.
"What?"
"I had a nightmare," she said, "C-can you lay in my bed with me?"
"I don't know if I'll fit," Kendall said, "Do you want me to try?"
She nodded and moved over in her bed. It was pretty big and Kendall ended up fitting next to her. He took her hand under the blanket and gave her a kiss on the cheek before laying back down and falling asleep.
Katie snuggled up next to her brother and thought about how lucky she was to have him.
"I love you Kendall," she whispered before falling into a deep sleep.
Were you expecting that? Yeah, probably not. Was it a stupid idea? Let me know! Please review! 3 thanks for reading :)
