Hey guys thanks for all of you who wished me a great trip (It was VERY fun) and thanks for not bashing the last chapter lol. Here is a cute one with lots of bromance (Because you know I'm a sucker for that stuff ;)). I own nothing and please review and Enjoy!
Carlos, Logan, James, and Kendall were skating on their favorite pond in Minnesota when all of a sudden, dark clouds covered the horizon.
"Looks like a storm is coming, we'd better get out of here." Logan suggested. The four boys started skating back to the bank when all of a sudden, James fell down with a pained cry. Carlos looked over in shock to see that they were all in concert clothes back on stage when James had broken his leg. Carlos watched in horror as Logan and Kendall tried to comfort the hurting boy as the paramedics yanked his leg from the sharp springs. Carlos tried to run to them, but for some reason he couldn't move. He tried to scream at them but he mouth made no sound. All he could do was watch James look at him with pain and betrayal in his eyes. Suddenly, Carlos was back in the hospital courtyard watching Logan tell the injured Kendall to keep holding on. He watched as Kendall grew weaker and weaker and how Logan tried his best to keep him awake. Carlos again tried to run to help, but again his body was denied movement.
"W-why Carlos, w-why won't you h-help me." Kendall rasped out before fainting.
Carlos was crying really hard now and his surroundings were once again changed. He was now sitting down with his friends and Freight Train and Logan was about to take his insulin. Carlos thought nothing of it first but then realized what was about to happen.
"Logan, don't! That's not insulin! Please stop!" Carlos cried. Logan acted as if he couldn't hear Carlos and injected himself in the arm. He then started shaking and throwing up before he passed out and fell to the ground.
"Having fun, Carlitos?" A painfully familiar voice asked the Latino. Carlos opened his eyes and saw that he was now in the alley behind the hospital. Brian was straddling him and playing with the knife in his hand.
"P-please. Go away!" Carlos cried.
"Oh, my little Litos, I will never go away. Even if they put me in jail I'll get out one day. And when that day comes, there's not one place in this universe I won't find you. And when I do, I'm taking back what belongs to my sister!" Blackwell hissed with a sadistic smile. He drew back his knife then plunged it into Carlos' chest.
"AH!" Carlos screamed and shot in bed. He was breathing heavily and his dark hair was matted to his forehead with sweat. He curled up in a ball with tears running down his cheeks until he heard footsteps running into his room.
"Carlos, what's wrong?" Logan asked worriedly. Carlos looked up and saw him and Kendall looking at him with concerned faces.
"H-he won't g-go away. I h-hurt you guys." Carlos sobbed. Logan immediately sat down beside the boy and pulled him into a hug.
"Kendall, will you please go take care of Katie, Mama Knight, and James? I'll take care of Litos here and I'm afraid that James might try to get out of bed to come up here." Logan said softly as he stroked the Latino's hair. Kendall nodded then left the room.
"I'm s-so sorry, L-Logie." Carlos cried into the raven-haired boy's chest.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, Carlos. It was just a dream. Everything's okay." Logan soothed.
"B-but it wasn't a dream. It really happened! Y-you all got hurt and it was all my fault and-"
"Whoa, Carlos. I thought we already established that Blackwell hurting us wasn't your fault. There was nothing you could've done to prevent it and no one blames you." Logan assured.
"H-he said he was coming for me. A-and that I won't be able to hide from him. He's gonna get me Logie!" Carlos blubbered. Logan's shirt was soaked by now, but he didn't care. The only thing on his mind was the scared, crying boy in his arms.
"Shh it's okay, Litos. The police won't let Blackwell get away. Plus, Kendall, James, and I are going to do whatever it takes to protect you. He won't ever lay another finger on you ever again." Logan promised.
"But you guys already got hurt protecting me! James' leg is all messed up and Kendall can't even use his left arm and you almost died! I don't want you guys getting hurt anymore because of me!"
"Everything's okay though. James will be better within eight weeks, Kendall will regain the use of his shoulder once all the muscle heals, and I'm perfectly fine now. Besides, we all have Freight Train to protect us, and you know how scary he can get." Logan chuckled. His statement caused Carlos to smile a little as he thought of their large protector.
"I guess you're right. It's still pretty scary though."
"I know it is, buddy. Did the detectives coming and telling us we have to testify in court make you nervous?"
"Yeah, I was hoping I would never have to see him again." Carlos sighed.
"I know, us too, but after the trial you never have to see him or think about him ever again." Logan asserted.
"Okay, can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" Carlos asked with puppy dog eyes.
"Of course I can." Logan smiled.
Kendall came back up fifteen minutes later after convincing James, his mom, and Katie that everything was okay. He looked in the door to Carlos and James' room and smiled at the sight in front of him. Carlos was curled up against Logan's chest, and Logan had his arms wrapped protectively around the Latino. They were both sleeping soundly so Kendall quietly closed the door before returning to his own bed.
The next morning, Logan woke up and saw that Carlos was still sleeping on him. He gently lifted the boy off of him so he could escape the bed. He then went quietly into his bedroom and checked his blood sugar before going downstairs to get the day started.
"Good morning, Logan!" Mrs. Knight said cheerfully from the kitchen.
"Morning, Mama Knight. I hope Carlos didn't scare you too much last night." Logan smiled.
"Yeah, poor thing. I assume he had a nightmare?"
"Yes, it was about Blackwell. Learning that he had to testify in court and see the freak scared him."
"I'll bet it did. I hope that creep gets a triple life sentence for all the pain and stress he's caused you boys." Mrs. Knight shook her head then handed Logan a plate with diabetic-friendly French toast with some turkey bacon. She then went upstairs to get the other boys and Katie up. Logan sat and ate his breakfast then heard the stomping upstairs that Carlos was awake and hungry. Sounding like a heard of wild elephants, Carlos ran down the stairs and got some regular French toast and bacon and sat down next to his friend.
"Morning, Logie!" he said cheerfully stuffing his face.
"Morning, Litos, anymore nightmares?"
"Nope, thanks for sleeping with me. It made me feel a lot better." Carlos smiled.
"Anytime. So you ready for rehearsal?"
"Yep. I hope Kendall is ready for another shower episode with handicap over there." Carlos laughed pointing to the sleeping James.
"I doubt it'll be as interesting as Tuesday. I think they've worked out a system." Logan replied.
"Maybe, but Jo was in their system Tuesday. They're on their own today." Carlos reminded.
"I'm sure it won't take them long to figure it out though. They're pretty smart when they want to be."
"True, but you're still smarter than all three of us put together!" Carlos exclaimed. Logan chuckled a bit then finished his breakfast. He then went upstairs and helped Kendall with his shirt before checking his blood sugar and gathering his stuff.
"So Carlos was dreaming about Blackwell last night?" Kendall asked as he watched Logan put his meter and pen in his bag.
"Yeah, he's scared that Blackwell is gonna come get him. He's okay now though."
"Good. So you ready for another rehearsal?"
"Are you ready for another James shower?" Logan asked with a smirk.
"Oh yeah, we're basically pros at handicap showers now."
"Dude, just because you did it once with a girl's help, doesn't mean you're pros." Logan laughed.
"That's hurtful." Kendall said with fake hurt in his voice.
"Yeah, yeah, come on, Mrs. Dramaqueen, it's almost time for Litos and I to get going." Logan rolled his eyes. Kendall smiled then followed the genius down to where the rest of their family was gathered.
"You guys be careful, okay?" Mrs. Knight said then kissed Logan and Carlos on the cheek.
"We will, bye Mama Knight. Have a good day at school Katie, and good luck, Kendall!" Logan smiled then led the hyperactive Latino out the door before he could give his usual ten minute farewell address to the group of people in the apartment. They went to the lobby where Logan saw Camille and Jo talking.
"Hey, stranger." Camille said kissing him on the cheek.
"Hey, what are you girls up to today?" Logan asked.
"Well, I have to be at the studio in fifteen minutes." Jo replied.
"I'm actually heading out the door to go on set and shoot some scenes." Camille said when her boyfriend turned to her.
"Cool, Carlos and I probably should get going so Gustavo doesn't explode. We'll see you girls later." Logan said hugging Camille then Jo. The half of Big Time Rush waved one last goodbye to the girls then exited the Palmwoods. They walked ten minutes until they reached Roque Records then entered the doors to the studio. They found Gustavo and Kelly who told them to have a seat in the conference room.
"What's going on?" Carlos asked curiously.
"Well boys, Gustavo and I have talked and we've decided to give you guys the rest of the week off." Kelly smiled.
"Really? Why?" Logan questioned.
"Because, Griffin is really starting to crack the whip on the next album, so I need silence to write the required songs. Therefore, I'm kicking you guys out so I can have that silence." Gustavo replied.
"Okay, so we are free to go?" Carlos inquired awkwardly.
"Yes, we will see you two on Monday." Kelly replied.
"Alright, see you Monday." Logan looked at them suspiciously. He and Carlos slowly backed out of the room, half-expecting Gustavo to start yelling at them to get in the booth to do harmonies or go to the dance studio. He remained quiet, however, and as soon as the two boys were out of the room, they screamed for joy and ran out of Roque Records. When they got to 2j, they walked into an interesting sight. James was in his bathrobe for one thing, and Kendall was trying unsuccessfully to get him in the wheelchair.
"You guys need any help?" Logan laughed.
"What are you two doing here?" Kendall asked the two new arrivals.
"Gustavo gave us the rest of the week off!" Carlos replied happily.
"Why did he do that?" James inquired.
"He said he needed silence to write more songs for the new album, but I think he was just being nice." Logan said with a grin.
"That was nice of him, but can we talk about this after I get handicap here in the shower?" Kendall asked with a smirk.
"I am NOT handicapped!" James exclaimed.
"Sure, buddy, sure. Now let's get you into this wheelchair." Carlos smiled. Logan took the wheel chair form Kendall while Carlos helped the injured boy into the seat. Logan wheeled James into the bathroom where Kendall had already set up the plastic chair. Carlos and Logan helped James in then exited the bathroom with Kendall.
"Well that was a lot easier than it was Tuesday." Kendall said as the trio sat down.
"Everything's easier when the four of us are together!" Carlos reminded cheerfully.
"I couldn't agree with you more, Litos." Logan smiled. When James was done Kendall ran upstairs to get his clothes while Logan and Carlos handed him his towel and robe then helped back into the wheelchair. Once James was changed, Logan made sandwiches for everyone.
"Where'd Mama Knight go?" Carlos asked.
"She left to go read in the park when I told her James was gonna take a shower." Kendall replied.
"I can't say I blame her." Logan smirked.
"So how was your shower, James?" Carlos questioned the tall brunette.
"A lot easier than Tuesday's, I can tell ya that." James replied. Once everyone was done with lunch Logan cleaned the dishes then put Ironman in for them to watch. Mrs. Knight and Katie were home by the time the movie was over and dinner was ready by the end of the sequel. After dinner, the boys and Katie played video games and watched more movies until Mrs. Knight ordered them to bed.
"I swear by the end of my time stuck in bed I will have watched every movie there is." James sighed.
"I know, but that's just part of it, buddy." Kendall said sympathetically as he, Carlos, and Logan, helped James get ready for bed.
"Guys? Could we maybe all sleep down here tonight?" Carlos asked sheepishly.
"Of course we can, buddy. You and I can go get the air mattresses and we'll have a sleepover down here." Logan smiled. He and Carlos got the air mattresses and blew them up and Mrs. Knight gave them some sheets. Logan made sure his blood sugar was good then the four boys got comfortable.
"Thanks, guys, I just didn't want to be alone." Carlos said gratefully. Kendall grinned at the Latino.
"Don't worry, Carlos, as long as we're alive you'll never be alone."
