A/N: Before I start this chapter I have a quick announcement: in the last chapter I had said that I will upload the last chapter tomorrow, Wednesday, but there has been a slight change in plans. Right after I uploaded the last chapter I had gotten a phone call and was scheduled for a job interview tomorrow, which means I probably won't be able to write the last chapter as scheduled. But this just means is that it will be pushed back one day, so look for the final chapter sometime Thursday.

Chapter 14: Extinct

Logan opened his eyes and was immediately aware of his surroundings. He can hear the rhythmic beep of the machine next to him, he can feel the IV needle in his arm, and can smell that distinct hospital smell. Looking around the room he was aware of the fact that he was alone. There was no evidence that anyone had been there, or was going to be there and quite frankly if anyone did visit, he would not be too pleased to be in their presence.

Logan couldn't help but blame Kendall for what had happened this time. It had been a week of Logan lying in the hospital, pretending to be asleep whenever he was told he had visitors. He was lying in the hospital once again; both times had been because Kendall was there for him. Most may say that he was being a great friend, and the first time he was, but this time Logan hated him with a passion. Kendall once again came to his rescue, sending his father to prison. And now, based on Logan's injuries, Kendall as a witness and what the police said, there is a very small chance that Greg won't be in prison the rest of his life; which means foster system for Logan.

Yes, child services had already come by to be Logan's legal guardian, and there was already talk of a foster family taking him in if his dad ends up in jail. His life was turned upside down in the matter of one night. His dad was gone, his best and only friend had betrayed him, and now he was going to move and have to start all over again. The only good thing about it was that he only needed to wait one more year, then he would turn 18 and he can live on his own and by his own terms…

Kendall could not escape the events of the night he stopped Greg. It was all over the news from the night it happened, to the status on Logan's condition, to what charges Greg will be facing, to even himself being called a "hero" of sorts.

Even though he was glad he called a police and stopped what had been happening, he couldn't help but feel that Logan was pissed at him. He could tell that Logan was pretending to be asleep when he went to visit at the hospital, and every time he was lying in the bed the same way; with his back towards the door. Kendall would try to wake Logan up and get his attention, but it was useless. But every time he went to leave he always apologized in hopes that Logan would know had crappy he truly felt.

The days went by and all Kendall wanted was a chance to talk to Logan and explain the situation. And he hoped that today would be the day, since he was being released from the hospital.

Kendall drove to the hospital after school and hoped Logan was still there. Walking to the nurse at the desk he told her who he was visiting, and after she went to Logan's room she sent Kendall in. Walking into the room, Kendall was met again by a "sleeping" figure.

"Logan, I know you're not sleeping. Please just talk to me," Kendall said sitting down in the chair near the bed.

"I don't want to talk to you right now," Logan said not rolling over.

"Look, I know you are probably pissed at me, and I completely understand why you would be, but you have to understand where I was coming from, and why I did it," Kendall said.

Logan sat up quickly and looked over to Kendall, "I do know why you did it; you thought you were doing the right thing. That you were helping me, but you just made things worse. I was doing fine with my dad, I've dealt with his shit for years and because of you he is in jail and I'm out yet another parent."

"Logan, you can't honestly think that you could have gone the rest of your life like that. Did you ever think of how your future might end up if this had kept up?" Kendall said, surprised by Logan's response.

"NO, I didn't. But did you ever think of what your decision to call the police would do to our friendship? You promised me you wouldn't tell anyone, and now look where we are! You broke that promise, and I don't think I can forgive you," Logan shouted before rolling back over in the bed facing away from Kendall to hide the tears in his eyes.

Kendall stood up and headed towards the door. With one hand on the door knob he looked back before speaking, "Logan, I really am sorry."

Logan didn't look back or respond and just lay their until he heard the door close telling him Kendall was gone.

Kendall lay on his bed and though about every possible thing. But the main thing that kept coming to mind was the end of his short, yet great friendship with Logan; from when they both saved each other from the air head jocks, to working on their biology project, to hanging out together at his house. And that was when he knew what to do. He jumped from his bed and ran to his car, speeding away to Logan's house knowing he was there after being released from the hospital.

Parking outside the house, Kendall noticed another, unfamiliar car in the driveway, but ignored it as he ran to the front door. Walking through the half open door Kendall was met by a woman.

"Oh hi, I was looking for Logan," Kendall said to the unfamiliar woman.

"Oh, he is upstairs packing his things. I'm sure you can go talk to him," The woman said.

"Thank you.. Why is he packing?" Kendall said confused.

"He is moving in with his foster family," The woman said, about to keep talking when Kendall ran up the stairs.

"What the hell? When were you going to tell me you were leaving?" Kendall said when he barged into Logan's room, starting the teen.

"I thought you would figure it out on your own when you realized I left," Logan said, never turning around to meet his friend's eyes.

"So you weren't even going to say goodbye? You were just going the leave and just act as if I wouldn't care?" Kendall said, his voice filled with hurt.

"Look, I will always be grateful for everything you've done for me, but I don't think I could have taken saying goodbye. Honestly I'm still hurt from what you did, but saying goodbye would mean that we would never see each other again, and I didn't want that. As much as it hurts me right now to look at you without thinking of everything that happened, I know that someday I would get better and forgive you. Maybe it won't be sometime soon, but I heal fast, that's something I've learned over the years. I just hope that you will still be my friend when that time comes," Logan said, looking in Kendall's eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll always be here if you ever need me," Kendall said, his eyes filled with tears.

"Thanks, I should go and meet my new family… Thank you for everything," Logan said holding out a hand to Kendall.

"No Logan thank you," Kendall said before giving Logan a hug and watching him leave the room. Kendall stood in the empty room and realized it was the first time he saw his friend's room. There wasn't anything about it that really stood out, but something caught his eye. Walking over to the dresser he picked up a note left for Kendall and read every word that it said. It said all the things that they just discussed, but in greater detail.

Once he finished the note, he walked over to the window and watched as Logan got in the car and drove off. Right before the car left both teens waved to each other, the last time they would see each other.

It seemed as if this friendship had gone extinct just as fast as it came about… But now maybe something new can evolve from once was…
