And Rebecca, thank you for that heartwarming review I love you too! Jamie, something will happen to Kendall's hearing aids in this chapter.
Chapter 25
Logan sat in bed that night he stayed awake the whole time thinking about his dad it was now three forty two. His dad was gravely ill and Logan knew he didn't have much time left with him but Logan's dad made his life a living hell when he found out Logan was gay. But that was Logan's only dad and once he was gone, he wouldn't get another one. His dad didn't look so good but he insisted Logan leave anyway. So Logan did but he wasn't so sure he wanted to.
Kendall shifted in his lap and muttered, "Logie, why are you sitting? Are you okay?" Logan smiled gently running his fingers in Kendall's hair.
"Yeah babe, I'm fine now go back to sleep." Logan whispered softly. Kendall sat up regardless rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Whenever someone says their okay, they're not. My mama taught me that. Now tell me what's wrong." Kendall said his green eyes still visible in the dark. It was filling with concern and it made Logan wanna spill out his life story about his dad to Kendall.
"It's my dad." Logan softly admitted. He met Kendall's gaze and it filled with understanding.
"Uncle Carlos told me that he wasn't doing so well." Kendall said shaking his head slowly.
Logan nodded pulling Kendall to his chest. "Yea he isn't and…I don't know I still can't forgive him for all the pain he's caused me." Logan said.
"You have to, Logie…because once he's gone…he won't come back." Kendall said. "I know I don't know a lot about life but I know enough to get me by and I know that you should love what you have and never take anything for granted. I know sometimes I annoy you if I'm too hyper some days or you think I take you for granted because you have bills and you're out buying me things but I never take you for granted. I thank God every day for you, Logie…you saved me and every time I look at you I'm reminded about that." Kendall said softly.
Logan eyes sprung with tears. "I don't think I can." He said letting tears cascade down his face. He sniffed harshly. "It hurts too much." He said quickly wiping his tears he didn't want to cry in front of Kendall.
Kendall kissed him softly. "Logie, if you don't do it now you'll never be able to." Kendall whispered. Logan nodded. They sat in silence and the phone startled them.
Logan shakily picked it up. "H-hello?" He asked. "Yes this is he." He said getting out of bed and softly padding into the kitchen.
Kendall sat on the bed and listened closely. Once he heard Logan whisper "Oh my God," he knew something was wrong so he got out of bed and went into the kitchen. Logan was sitting on a chair and all the color drained from his face. His mouth was open and he was holding his stomach tightly.
"Is he…?" Logan asked stopping himself from asking. He gasped as the person on the speaker replied. Kendall winced. Logan said thank you and hung up.
"Dammit!" he suddenly yelled slamming his fist on the table. Kendall jumped and ventured to ask Logan if he was alright.
"Logie what's wrong?" Kendall softly asked. Logan suddenly gasped standing up. He put both his fists on the side of his head and started to gasp. He looked like he couldn't breathe.
"It's my fault…" he said. "It's my fault…" he said again repeating it. Kendall was getting scared. He didn't know what to do.
"Logie, do you want me to call Uncle Carlos?" Kendall asked in panic. Logan nodded.
"Please…hurry." Logan said still gasping. Kendall went through Logan's contact list and found Carlos' name. It took a while before Carlos finally answered.
"Uncle Carlos…" Kendall whimpered onto the phone.
"Kendall? What is it? Are you hurt? Is Logie okay?" Carlos' rambled panic on the phone continued. He finished with; "I'm on my way." he hung up before Kendall could say a word and he quickly hung up the phone focusing on Logan.
Logan was crying now and Kendall took him into his arms.
"Logie what happened on the phone?" Kendall demanded.
"My f-father…" was all Logan could manage out. Kendall shook his shoulders lightly to continue.
"He had a heart attack…he's in the hospital…" Logan finished. Kendall gasped.
"Is he gonna….?" Kendall asked sensing this was the same horrifying question Logan had ventured to ask.
"They don't know…he's in a coma he's most likely not gonna get out of." Logan said. Kendall hugged Logan tightly until Carlos burst through the door. He fell on his knees in front of Logan and took both of both sides of his head into his hands, gently pressing his forehead to Logan's. He pressed a kiss to his moist temple while Logan closed his eyes and held onto Carlos' hands.
"Logan, buddy you gotta take a deep breath…you're panicking and panicking is not good. So take a deep breath and tell me what's happening." Logan took a deep breath exhaling from his nostrils. He told Carlos about his father and the coma and the heart attack. Carlos gasped when Logan began to sob.
"Oh…Logie a person's misfortunes are never your fault." Carlos said. Logan hiccupped before nodding.
"But it is!" he shrieked. "I have to go see him tomorrow do you mind staying with Kendall again?" Carlos nodded.
"Anything for you bud." He said. "Now get up, Carlos will tuck you in." Now usually Logan would ridicule Carlos for such insanity but tonight he just nodded and leaned on Carlos while he guided him to the room. He made Kendall stay out and a couple minutes after he came out.
"He's asleep…come sleep with me in the guest room." Carlos said motioning for Kendall to follow him. Kendall got up and nodded although he longed to be in Logan's arms.
**********************************Kendall's POV***************************
Even though I love Uncle Carlos, I didn't want to sleep with him. With Logie, everything's just right. When Uncle Carlos brought me into his arms I felt safe but it wasn't the same.
I was worried for Logie. I've never seen him like that before. I didn't even know I was crying until Uncle Carlos wiped my eyes.
"Don't cry baby, Logan wouldn't wanna see you sad." He said. I shook my head. How could I be happy when Logie was sad?
"I'm going to see him." I decided. Uncle Carlos tried to stop me but I ran and opened the door to our room. Logie was sweating and muttering. He looked like he was crying. I watched confused, trying to make out what he was saying but as I was going to go to him, Uncle Carlos pulled my arm. I shrugged it off and went to Logie on the bed. I sat on it while Uncle Carlos kept whispering 'no! Kendall don't!' he was trying to whisper yell and I fought the urge to giggle.
When I looked at the clock it was five. We had dark curtains so you couldn't really tell if the morning was here yet. When Uncle Carlos peaked the light was just coming through so I focused on Logie…
************************NO ONES POV***************************************
Kendall gently rubbed Logan's back like Logan did to him a bunch of times when he had nightmares. Logan moaned before sitting up holding his head.
"My head hurts…" he groaned. Carlos walked over sitting on the bed.
"You thought too much buddy." Carlos said. "You're not going anywhere until you feel better." He said gently pushing Logan back.
Kendall suddenly rushed out of the room. Carlos and Logan smiled fondly. But it struck Kendall to go pick a flower for Logan. Particularly his favorite one, the Dahlia. He saw one growing behind the cranky old neighbor's fence.
Logan told him a million times not to cross the fence no matter what you wanted. Kendall always obeyed the rules but when it came to Logan he wanted to break every single one of them. He hopped over the fence and searched for the object of the mission. Until he heard an old raspy female voice.
"Get off my lawn you rotten thief!" she rasped. Kendall quickly located the flower and grabbed it making a run for it but as he hopped over the fence he tripped, landing hard. Before he hit the ground he threw the flower so it wouldn't get crushed under his weight. He flipped, landing hard on his back. The old woman's voice got cut off and was replaced by silence. Kendall panicked sensing something was wrong and when he brought his hands up to his ears his nightmare came true.
He hissed and crawled on his knees trying to find them but it was almost impossible since they were practically microscopic in size. Tears filled his eyes quicker than the panic filled his body.
He got up and ran to Logan screeching. Logan looked confused as to why Kendall was yelling and so did Carlos.
"Logie they're gone I lost them!" Kendall said in one jumbled rush. Logan held his head before facing Kendall.
"Tell me slowly what happened." Logan ordered.
"I can't hear you!" Kendall said making his head fall limp onto Logan's chest.
"What do you mean?" Logan signed.
"I lost them, Logie!" Kendall said sniffling. He started to cry.
"Lost what?" Logan signed still confused.
"My hearing aids!" Kendall practically shrieked. Logan held his mouth open agape.
"Kendall….how did you lose them?" Logan signed angry and frantically.
"I saw you were upset and I went to the neighbor's yard…." Kendall started.
"How many times do I tell you not to go there?" Logan asked annoyed.
"A lot but you were sad and I wanted to go pick you a flower and when I was running back I tripped over the fence and now my hearing aids are gone. They were the only thing that let me hear your beautiful voice Logie!" Kendall said crying harder.
"I…have to save up to get you new ones and pay medical bills Kendall." Logan signed.
Kendall nodded still crying. "I'm so upset." He said stomping his foot on the ground. He jumped into the bed and continued to cry.
"Wow can you spell drama?" Carlos asked. Logan looked at him before chucking a pillow at his face.
"Sorry!" he apologized. "Gosh…who the hell took a crap in your cereal?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Logan answered flippantly.
"Ok this is the sign for me to go. I'll call you later. Okay?" Logan flipped him off while Carlos tsked.
What was Logan going to do now?
