So here's how big of a genius I am, I wrote a fanfiction chapter in my english journal on Friday and then left my journal in my locker, so I had nothing to type up over the weekend. Oh and my keyboard is really sticky so if I am missing a few letters here and there, I apologize.
Happy October by the way! Today I started the Pentober Challenge. I opted for this one over Octogan because I thought it would be more entertaining. So yeah, if you wanna check the pictures out my instagram is taysteinberg22.

Chapter 20: Stitches and Butts
(Logan POV)
I was sitting in Katie's bed later that night after the guys had left.
"Can I go run around?" The little girl peered up at me.
"Absolutely not," I couldn't help but think how much we looked alike, compared to Kendall and Katie.
"This is torture!" She complained. "Why won't morning just come?"
"The sooner you fall asleep the sooner morning will come!"
"I don't want to sleep!" She shouted at me unhappily. She was becoming more and more defiant as the days in the hospital went by.
"I'll sing you to sleep," I promised her. "Would you like that?"
"Depends what song it is."
"Stay Beautiful." She nodded and I began to sing changing the first few lyrics.
"Katie's eyes are like a jungle There's pretty girls on every corner You're beautiful, every little piece, love And when you find everything you looked for Katie finds another way to be It's hard to make a conversation You're beautiful, every little piece, love And when you find everything you looked for If you and I are a story You're beautiful, every little piece, love And when you find everything you looked for Will you stay beautiful Oh, but if it don't
She smiles, it's like the radio
She whispers songs into my window
In words that nobody knows
That watch her as she's walking home
Saying, does she know
Will you ever know?
Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful
The highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures with my mind
So I can save 'em for a rainy day
When she's taking my breath away
I should say
'Hey, by the way'
Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
I hope your life leads you back to my front door
Oh, but if it don't
A beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful
A beautiful, beautiful?
Stay beautiful
Stay beautiful"
"Goodnight Katie Mae," I whisper in her ear.

(Kendall POV)
Early that morning, at like seven am, Carlos, James, and I walked through the door to Katie's hospital room. Logan was already up, go figure, and sitting beside the bed reading. Katie was sound asleep. "Aw, she's so adorable when she's sleeping. Let's wake her up!" I smiled, knowing I was being mean, but she would forgive me, eventually. I crept over to her bed and watched her for a second the other guys were standing near Logan curiously.
My hands shot out to her side as I yelled, "RAAAAH!"
Katie jolted upright then grabbed her ribcage in pain. "KENDALL!"
"Katie!" I mocked putting my arms up to protect her from hitting me.
"What the crap? You suck!" She yelled at me.
"Language Katie Mae," I reminded her, after all she was only 10.
"That's not bad language! If you want to hear bad language," There was a mischievous glint in her brown eyes.
"That's enough Katie," I told the small girl.
"You're no fun!"
Ignoring Katie, I turned to Logan, "How do they get the stitches out of her arm?"
"With scissors, and a scalpel. It will feel like a small pinch, but the pain won't be unbearable. Just be ready to bleed a little bit," Logan smiled up at her.
"Am I getting them all out today?" Katie asked a trace of worry in her voice.
"Yeah you are, the cut wasn't very deep so it's safe for them to come out," Logan explained. It was obvious he had looked into this case way more than I had.
"Oh Katie! We have a surprise for you!" James said as he pushed Carlos out the door. Carlos reentered with new crutches. They were padded under the arm, and where the hands were for maximum comfort. There was patterned duct tape covering the rest of the metal on the crutches.
"They look so cool!" Katie yelped holding them tightly, tracing the pattern on the duct tape.
"We're going to get you something to eat," I told her, as Logan, James, and Carlos crowded the hallway.
"Okay Kendall," Katie was still messing with her crutches.
"And stay here!"
"I will Kendall! I promise!" She looked up at me with her crutches on her lap.
"I'm trusting you Katie," I told her as I left. I wondered if it was a bad idea to leave her alone.

(Katie POV)
The doctor was supposed to be coming in in about ten minutes and I was scared. The guys were trying to get my nerves to go away by talking to me, but it wasn't working.
"Logan," I looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. "What's this gonna feel like?"
"It's just a little pinch Katie, you'll be fine, I promise," Logan took my arm and pinched it lightly. "It will feel just like that."
"You said I'm gonna bleed?"
"You won't even feel that, just don't watch him take the stitches out," I was so nervous. Especially since this had to be done by a real doctor, not Logan.
"Katie?" Dr. Ross asked walking in the room. "Are you ready to get your stitches out?"
"No thanks! I'm good!" Was my response.
"Katie," Kendall said looking at me disapprovingly. "You need to do this." I looked at him with my puppy dog eyes, but he still shook his head.
Kendall took my hand as Dr. Ross began cleaning my arm. The other three boys just watched me with pity in their eyes. Kendall slowly turned my head away from the Doctor, so I couldn't watch. Ouch! He had taken the first stitch out, it hurt way worse than Logan said it would. I glanced over and saw ruby red blood sliding down my arm. That was enough for me! When Dr. Ross was setting the stitch down on the tray I took my arm away from him.
"Katie, put your arm back, so Dr. Ross can get the rest of the stitches out," Kendall told me.
"No!"
Kendall let go of my hand and walked around to the left side of the bed. Grabbing that hand and holding it down. James grabbed my right hand and Carlos laid his hand over my face so I couldn't turn and watch. Ten minutes later 12 stitches were out.
"Okay Katie, these ones might hurt a little bit," Dr. Ross said as he pulled the first stitch out.
"Ow!" I yelped. Kendall's hand squeezed mine tighter and tighter until all of the stitches were finally out.
I got a band aid on my arm, and each boy helped me up and onto my new crutches. It took me a while to actually get to the BTR Mobile, but I did it. I was seated in the middle with my casted leg up in the front seat. I leaned against Kendall and closed my eyes as the four boys talked about something.
We were finally back at the Palm Woods and I was ecstatic. But as soon as we got back to 2J, Kendall made me lay down again!
"Kendall, I wanna go run around!" I protested as I sank down onto the orange couch.
"Sorry baby sister, but you need to rest, you can go walk around next week!"
Not fair!

(Katie POV)
I was sitting in my room bored out of my mind, I would be allowed to go around the Palm Woods starting Monday, as long as I had one of the boys with me at all times. That meant I had two more days of lying down! Everyone was down at the pool except for my Mom who was at the gym. What was the worst that could happen if I went and rode the elevator up and down a few times?
I got out of bed and grabbed a key card. Wobbling on my crutches, I made it down the hall to the elevator. I went back to 2J, then back to the elevator so I could get the hang of moving on crutches. I pushed the button for the elevator and got in and pushed L for lobby. I rode it down to the lobby, then back up, then down again. But this time when the doors opened in the lobby, Kendall was standing there.
"Crap!" I shouted as the doors closed, shutting me and Kendall in a small space.
We left the elevator and he commanded me to march to the couch.
"Katie, really? I thought we were over this! I told you no more sneaking around, and next time you do it I'm taking your crutches away. And now I am!" Kendall took my crutches away from next to me and put them on a shelf above the TV that I couldn't reach even if I was standing on a chair. "And another thing! Katie, I've talked to you about using bad language. 'Crap' isn't appropriate for a 10 year old girl to be saying all the time. You need to stop saying it! Understand Katie?"
I nodded, "Sorry Kendall." I bowed my head as Kendall sat down next to me.
"No you're not, you're sorry you got caught," Kendall told me putting his arm around my shoulders.
"Can I have my crutches back? I promise I'll be good, and stop running away!" I pleaded my brother.
"I'm sure you will, but no you may not have them back."
"Kendall!" I screamed. "You're being a butt!"
"Katie, no tantrums, you're ten not two!" Kendall scolded.
"You're still being a butt!" I pouted.
"Why don't you take a nap or something? You seem cranky," Kendall sighed at me.
"No!" But Kendall pulled me back against his chest and started to hum a peaceful lullaby.
This story will be over by the 24 of October, then I have two oneshots for the following week and if everything goes according to plan the sequel should be up and running by Thanksgiving. So stay tuned for chapter 21 (the chapters get a lot longer soon) Giant Blades and Bratty Sisters. Hmmm interesting name. Peace out! XOXO~Tay
