Thank you so much for all the reviews you have no idea how happy they make me! In fact, as a reward, here is my longest chapter ever! It's nearly 3000 words! Plus, a lot happens in this chapter, and there is some major Lomille near the end and also some Jendall. I own nothing and enjoy! PS, I've noticed that a lot of you love Frieght Train. I think they should bring him back becasue he seems to have disappeared from the show! Oh well, he will never disappear in my fanfic!
That night at about 1:45am, Carlos quietly crept out of his friends' hospital room. Their guard was slumped down asleep in a chair. Carlos made a face when he noticed that the sleep didn't look natural. He then noticed a sticky note on the guard's chest.
He looked like he was having trouble sleeping, so I gave him a little something to help.
Carlos gulped. The bad man knew he was coming so he had drugged a cop to help him sneak out. Carlos wanted to run back into the room and snuggle back into his cot with his friends, but he knew that he had to do this. He walked casually through the hallways and out the hospital doors. He nervously walked behind the building and entered the dark alley.
"Hello Carlos." A dark voice made Carlos' heart skip a beat.
"Well, I'm here, so who are you and why are after me?" Carlos demanded trying to mask his fear.
"You ruined my life, Carlos, so I'm here to ruin yours." The man hissed. He pulled Carlos deeper into the alley.
"How did I ruin your life? I don't even know you!" Carlos exclaimed. The man then punched the Latino hard in the stomach, making him double over in pain.
"Quiet! We don't want anyone interrupting our little meeting." He said, his voice dripping venom. "My name is Brian Blackwell, and you do know me, Carlos, or at least, I know you."
"H-how?" Carlos whispered painfully. The man shoved Carlos to the ground and kicked him hard several times. Carlos was crying in pain and just wanted the man to stop.
"Tell me, Carlos, what happened to you when you were six?" the man asked between kicks.
"I-I don't know what you're t-talking about." Carlos stuttered. The man angrily pulled out a knife and straddled Carlos. He took the tip and buried it into the Latino's arm then covered Carlos' mouth to muffle his pained screams.
"Let's try this again. What happened when you were six? You were in the hospital for quite some time." The man hinted yanking out the knife and removing his hand from the boy's mouth.
"I-I got s-sick and had a l-liver transplant." Carlos whimpered. What did that have to do with anything?
"Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!" Brian jeered mockingly. He then reentered the knife into Carlos' flesh, this time in his abdomen. Carlos winced in pain and wished that he could just die. "Well, Litos, it just so happens that on that very same day, there was a car accident. A young woman died and her liver was given to you." The man growled. "Do you know who that young woman
was?" Carlos painfully shook his head. "That woman was my sister. Her husband allowed them to take her liver and give it to you. From then on, I've been watching you, Carlos. I saw you become famous, and that drew the line for me. It's not fair that my sister died and you lived and became famous because that was HER dream." The man's face grew angrier and he pulled the knife out and stabbed poor Carlos again. Carlos could feel himself getting weaker and weaker as he lost more blood.
"W-why are you just now c-coming after m-me." He asked hoarsely.
"Don't you remember? This week is the twelfth anniversary of my sister's death and your transplant. I saw that your friend had gotten diagnosed with diabetes and how that only made the world love you more, and I just snapped. It gives me such a rush to see you boys in pain. And tonight, I'm going to get the rush of a lifetime." He grinned psychotically. He took his knife and cut Carlos several times on his limbs and torso. Carlos could feel himself ready to pass out. "And now, I will take back what belongs to my sister." Brian said with a sadistic smile. It only took a second for Carlos to figure out what the psycho had in mind. He was going to cut out Carlos' liver.
"No! P-please don't! I'm sorry about your sister but it wasn't my fault!" Carlos whimpered desperately trying to get away.
"Don't worry Carlos, a few more cuts and you won't be in pain ever again." Brian sang happily. He drew the knife back, and Carlos braced himself for pain and death. Just as Brian was about to plunge the knife into Carlos, a great force yanked the man off of the Latino. Brian was thrown against the wall and pinned to it by a very large man.
"Freight Train!" Carlos weakly called. He could've cried in relief.
"Let go of me!" Brian screamed. Freight Train just glared at him.
"You know, I don't like it when someone hurts one of my boys, but you sir have managed to hurt all four, and that does NOT make me happy. I have half a mind to snap your neck like a twig right now, but I have a little boy I must take care of. So this is all you get, for now." Freight Train growled. He punched the man hard and knocked him right out. He then knelt beside the injured Latino.
"H-hey FT." Carlos smiled his voice weak and raspy.
"Oh, Carlos, of all the stupid things you've done." Freight Train shook his head.
"H-how did y-you know I-I was h-here." Carlos asked. His breathes were becoming more and more labored, which worried Freight Train.
"I woke up knowing something wasn't right. I saw you were gone but you left your phone. I then read a very disturbing message and was able to put two and two together." He replied.
"Th-thanks, you're the b-best." Carlos said.
"I know I am. Now let's go get you taken care of." Freight Train then carefully lifted Carlos and carried him bridal style, not caring about all the blood pouring out of the Latino. "You know, Kendall and James aren't going to be happy about this, neither is Logan when he wakes up."
"I-I know. W-would you tell them that I-I only did this to pr-protect them? I r-really don't w-want them to be m-mad at me." Carlos begged.
"Sure buddy, sure." Freight Train rushed Carlos into the hospital and handed him over to the doctors who quickly wheeled him into surgery. Freight Train called the police to come pick up the monster in the alley then went to change into clean clothes before going back to the boys' room. He turned on the light and the two boys groaned.
"Dude, what time is it?" James moaned sleepily.
"About 2:30." Freight Train answered simply.
"Okay, why the heck did you wake us up at this hour and where's Carlos?" Kendall questioned noticing the absence of their helmet-wearing friend. Freight Train sighed and told them of the events of the night.
"Is he alright?" James asked worriedly.
"As far as I know, he's fine. I think you guys should give him a break though. He's been through a lot lately and he did do it to protect you guys." Freight Train tried.
"Yeah, we know. It was a stupid thing to do, but in the end any of us would've done the same thing." Kendall sighed.
"Well, any of us except maybe Logan. He'd probably be too smart to do something like that." James grinned.
"What happened to the creep?" Kendall asked.
"I wouldn't worry, boys, he won't be hurting any of you anymore." Freight Train answered with a reassuring smile.
"Wait…did you?" James asked nervously.
"No I didn't kill him, although I wanted to. Instead I just knocked him out and called the cops." Freight Train replied.
"I don't know if I would've had the self-control to just knock him out." Kendall grumbled.
"So why did this guy come after Carlos, anyway?" James inquired curiously.
"I don't know. I guess Carlos will tell us when he wakes up. For now, I think we should get some more sleep. The doctors are going to take good care of Carlos and Logan is going to wake up soon." Freight Train assured. The boys nodded and soon the trio was asleep once again.
Later that morning, the boys were awakened by a commotion in their room. They lazily opened their eyes and saw Dr. Peters and some nurses roll in a hospital bed with a knocked out Carlos in it. James and Kendall gasped when their saw their helmet-wearing friend. He had bruises covering his face and many cuts and gashes all over his beaten body. He also looked very pale and weak.
"I thought you boys wouldn't mind another roommate." Dr. Peters said smiling.
"Not at all. How's he doing?" Kendall inquired.
"He did scare us a couple of times because he lost so much blood, but I think he'll be just fine." He assured. "He should wake up soon. On a happier note, James, I think you can be released now provided you use your crutches and take it easy." Dr. Peters instructed giving him a pair of crutches. James nodded. Freight Train gave him some clothes that Mrs. Knight had sent over then he went to the bathroom and changed. When he came out, he saw that the nurses had removed his bed to give them more room.
"Man, Carlos looks really beat up." James sighed as he sat down in a chair.
"I know. Did he look this bad when you found him?" Kendall questioned their bodyguard.
"He actually looked worse. I was worried sick about him." Freight Train admitted.
"Well, at least he'll be okay. Any news on Logan?" James inquired.
"He's still comatose last I heard." The bodyguard sighed.
"I think I'm going to go see him. Text me if Carlos wakes up." James announced. He hobbled all the way to Logan's room and saw his unconscious friend. He sat in a chair next to his bed and took Logan's hand.
"Hey Logie, you need to wake up soon. You won't believe what happened last night. Freight Train totally took out the bad guy, so we're all safe now." James sighed in relief. He was beyond glad that the guy was caught and could no longer threaten or hurt his brothers. Suddenly, he felt a small squeeze. "Logan?" he asked hopefully. He watched in excitement as Logan's eyes slowly opened.
"James?" Logan greeted weakly.
"Morning, sleepy head, do you know what happened?" Logan shook his head.
"Last thing I remember is getting up to pick a movie. Did I pass out?" Logan asked.
"You did more than that, buddy, you kind of went comatose." James replied gently.
"I what? For how long?" Logan asked starting to freak out.
"Only about twelve hours, Logan, calm down. You're okay." James soothed.
"How did this happen?" Logan questioned.
"The guy who was after Carlos switched your insulin with pure glucose, so you went into a diabetic coma." James went on to tell Logan about the events of that morning.
"Wow. So it's over?"
"It's over, bro. Hey, how about we call Kendall and let him know you're awake?" James said taking out his phone. He dialed Kendall's number and put it on speaker.
"What's going on, James?" Kendall inquired.
"Hi Kendall." Logan said hoarsely.
"Logan! How are you feeling?"
"I'm actually feeling pretty good, especially now that I know that we're all safe." Logan replied happily.
"So how's our Carlitos?" James asked.
"Still asleep. He should be waking up soon, though." Kendall answered.
"Okay, well text me when he wakes up." James requested.
"Will do. I'm glad you're awake, Logan."
"Me too. Bye Kendall!" Logan said.
"Bye." James hung up the phone and started to dial a different number.
"Who are you calling?" Logan questioned.
"You'll see." James replied. He pressed the speaker button and waited for an answer.
"Hello?" an all too familiar voices answers.
"Camille!" Logan greeted happily.
"Logan you're awake!" Camille cheerfully exclaimed.
"Yeah, and you didn't find out by the news! So can you come to the hospital?"
"Can I? I thought we were banned until they caught the freak?" she inquired.
"You didn't tell her?" Logan asked James. He shook his head guiltily and told Camille everything.
"I'm on my way. I'll be there in like ten minutes. Tell Kendall I said hi and that I hope he gets better soon. Carlos, too, if he wakes up."
"I will. Can you call everyone else and fill them in?" James asked.
"Of course. See you in a bit."
"Bye Camille." Logan sighed gladly.
"Bye Logan."
"Thanks James. I needed that." Logan said with a grin.
"I know, Logan, I know." Ten minutes later, Camille came bursting through the door.
"Logan!" she ran up to him and did her famous kiss, slap, kiss.
"And that's my cue to leave. I'll text you when Carlos wakes up. Have fun you two." James smirked then left, making a big deal out of shutting the door.
"Oh my gosh, Logan, I was so worried about you!" Camille cooed. Logan scooted over and she sat down next to him on his bed.
"Well, worry no more because I'm here to stay." He said then pulled her into a kiss. It had been long, too long, since he had kissed his lovely girlfriend. He could feel all of the pain and worry melt away when her lips were pressed against his. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he enclosed his arms around her waist and held her close. He moved her onto his lap not even caring about the IVs he was hooked up to. She took her lips off of his and moved them to his neck, sucking where she felt his pulse.
"Gosh, Camille, you are so amazing." Logan groaned.
"I know." She said and smirked against Logan's warm skin. Logan brought her head up and started attacking her earlobe, sucking on it and biting it ever so gently. "Mm Logan." she moaned. She pulled his mouth off of her earlobe and pressed their lips together. She quickly gained access to his mouth and explored it with her tongue, smiling when she heard Logan's satisfied sighs. He met her tongue with his and, she started rubbing his shoulders with great force. Gosh, Logan loved it when Camille did that. He rubbed her back and stroked her beautiful curly hair.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" he whispered in her ear when they took a quick air break.
"Many times, but it never gets old." She smirked then pulled him in again.
"Hey, James, so is Logan doing okay?" Kendall greeted his tall friend as he entered the room.
"Considering he's with Camille right now, I'd say yes." He laughed.
"I don't know, maybe we outta send FT down there to make sure they don't suffocate each other." Kendall joked.
"Sorry, but that kind of protection is NOT in my job description." Freight Train chuckled.
"What's not?" they heard a weak voice ask.
"Carlos!" James exclaimed and staggered over to his friend.
"Are you guys mad at me?" he asked nervously.
"Of course not! Although, next time you're about to do something stupid, we'd prefer you let us know." Kendall smirked.
"I'll try. So has Logie woken up?" the Latino inquired.
"Yeah, he did about half an hour ago. Camille's down there now."
"What are they doing?" Carlos asked sleepily.
"It's Logan and Camille. What do you think they're doing?" James remarked with a grin. Carlos thought for a moment then made a kissy face.
"He's back, ladies and gentlemen!" Kendall said cracking up. The other two boys and their body guard quickly joined in the laughter.
"What's so funny?" A voice asked from the doorway.
"Jo! Katie! Mom!" Kendall exclaimed. Katie ran up and hugged each one of her brothers.
"You guys are the only people I know that can get hurt IN a hospital." Katie smirked.
"Well, you know how talented we are, baby sister." Kendall said returning the smirk. Katie rolled her eyes and went over and started talking to Carlos and James. Jo made her way over to Kendall's bed and kissed him on the cheek.
"You are such a handful, you know that?" she smiled.
"I know, but you gotta love me." He smirked. He pulled her into a kiss that was immediately cut short by Katie and the guys taunting them.
"Oh barf! Get a room!" Katie stuck her tongue out in disgust.
"So where's Camille?" Jo asked to change the subject.
"In Logan's room sucking face." James answered making kissy faces.
"Lucky." Kendall grumbled quietly, wishing he had his own room like Logan so that he could properly greet his girlfriend.
"So how are you all feeling?" Mrs. Knight asked her boys.
"Fine, this huge cast is annoying though." James replied with a frustrated sigh.
"My shoulder's still pretty sore, but I'll live." Kendall affirmed.
"I feel perfectly perfect!" Carlos announced cheerfully. Mrs. Knight gave him the don't-you-dare-lie-to-me look and he ducked his head guiltily. "Well, maybe not perfectly perfect, but it doesn't hurt THAT much." He said sincerely.
"Good, well I think I'm going to go say hi to Logan and give him a chance to catch his breath." She said shaking her head then left the room.
"She may have to get the Jaws of Life to pry those two apart." James sneered.
"Well James, when you're in love, you're in love." Jo said and pulled Kendall into another kiss, this time ignoring the comments and barf noises coming from across the room.
"At least things are back to normal." Carlos said optimistically. James and Katie laughed and continued the conversation no longer paying attention to the couple making out on the other side of the room. Freight Train just watched silently in amazement, loving every minute of being with his boys.
Hehe hope you liked all the fluff and little bit of smut ;)
