Chapter 23: Surprises and Sass
(Logan POV)
As soon as Katie left, I texted Kendall.
Logan: KENDALL COME UP NOW PLEASE. IT'S IMPORTANT!
Kendall: WHY?
I sighed, why must Kendall be so defiant? I had three choices: 1) Explain what was happening through text 2) Go down and get Kendall 3) Send him a brief message that explains this current situation. Number three it is. After a few seconds of thinking I sent him a very nice text message.
Logan: IT'S ABOUT KATIE! COME UP ASAP!
Kendall: ON MY WAY!
Logan: JUST COME STRAIGHT INTO OUR ROOM
As soon as I sent that the door flew open.
"Well that was fast!" I remarked dryly.
"When it comes to my baby sister I don't mess around!" Kendall pulled his striped t-shirt on over his somewhat wet body.
"Katie told me something today, something she has never told anyone else. She asked me to share it with you," I was so excited I knew something about Katie that Kendall didn't! She came to me about her problems; does this mean she trusts me more?
"What is it Logan?" Kendall sat down on his bed still facing me.
"She has nightmares. Bad ones. Ones that are generally called night terrors." Night terrors happened from real life events and were as scary as hell. Excuse my language. If you went to some special doctor you can get medication for them to go away. "In her night terrors she always see's that man. That man we saw in the store today. They started after the car crash happened, and they've gotten worse and worse!"
"Logan," Kendall said in a careful voice. "You didn't recognize him?"
I shook my head, maybe I had seen him a long time ago he seemed vaguely familiar.
"That was my dad." If there is ever a correct time to go "UH OH OH-OH!" Now would be it.

(Kendall POV)
"Katie? Can I come in?" I knocked on the door that was decorated with pictures of Dak Zevon.
"Depends on who's askin'," Her voice was slightly muffled, as if she was in here closet or something.
"It's me!" I pushed open the door, to find my baby sister sitting with her back against her closet, which was slightly ajar, texting. I picked her up and sat her on the bed. "Phone!" I held out my hand, and nodded slightly as her phone was slapped into my palm. After scrolling through the messages and deciding no harm was done I put it in my pocket.
She narrowed her eyes at me, "Why'd you do that?"
"Because," I sat down next to her. "I have to talk to you." She shrugged away from me. Was Logan not supposed to tell me? "Why didn't you tell me that you were having nightmares?"
"No need to burden you with unnecessary information."
"You being terrified to sleep is unnecessary? I don't think so!"
Katie ducked her head, "There's nothing you can do about it anyway!"
I thought back to my conversation with Logan, "Logan said that there's some type of doctor you can get medicine from, to help with the night terrors."
"You don't even know I have night terrors!" She protested, keeping her head down.
"We can find out!" I nudged her. "I'll go talk to Logan about it!"
"I don't want the examination! I'm tired of doctors," Katie pouted, looking more like a four year old than a ten year old.
I sighed, but I got where she was coming from. Maybe it wouldn't be beneficial to her, maybe she would grow out of them; and if she did, why make her go to the doctor? I headed to the door; maybe Logan knew all of these answers.
"Kendall?"
"Yeah Katie?" I turned around.
"Can I have my phone back?" So she didn't want anything from me but her phone. Why did she have to get so freaking independent?
I tossed her the phone then left.

(Kendall POV)
I didn't see Katie for the rest of the day, not even at dinner. Now I was getting ready for bed and talking to Logan.
"So did Katie say she didn't want to go to the doctor?" He asked me leaving the door open a little as he walked in the room.
"Yes Logan! She did!"
"I still think that you should take her to the doctor," Logan began to type on his computer.
"It's her choice, why should I get involved?" I sighed at Logan who was still typing.
"It says right here!" He tapped the screen. Some doctors website, explaining the troubles of night terrors.
"I still don't think we should do it!"
A low noise at the door caught my attention.
"Hey Katie," I smiled; happy she was standing at the door, even if she wouldn't be here for long.
"Am I interrupting something?" Her eyes were staring at the bookcase in the back of the room. They were all Logan's books, after all who reads?
"No, you're fine," Logan snapped his laptop shut and put it back on the shelf.
"What's up Katie?" I crept off of my bed coming closer to her.
"Nothing," She traced a small pattern with her toes on the carpet.
"Do you wanna sleep in here tonight?" I cocked my head and watched her. Logan watched me from the other bed, mouthing something I couldn't understand. He really needs to get better at that. Katie noticed too.
"I'll actually just go back to my room," Katie turned to leave but I called after her.
"No, come back here, Katie. We don't mind, right Logan?" I silenced him with a glare. Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz. I sighed and picked up my phone.
Logan: TELL HER SHE CAN ONLY SLEEP IN HERE IF SHE GOES TO THE DOCTOR
Kendall: FINE
I extended my hand out towards Katie, she took it and I pulled her onto my bed with me. "You can sleep in here, if you let us take you to the doctor to get the night terrors fixed. Deal?"
She scowled at me, took my phone and read the new messages. "No way! I'm not going back to a doctor's office!"
I sighed, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz.
Logan: STAY STRONG!
I grimaced, took a deep breath, then lifted Katie off of my bed. "Good bye, Katie."
She looked at me with sad eyes, hurt and scared. "Kendall, no! Please?"
I couldn't do this anymore! Her puppy dog eyes were getting the best of me, even if Logan was shaking his head.
Logan came over, lightly took Katie by her shoulders and spun her to face him. Kneeling down to her height he spoke slowly and sternly, "Katie, either you go to the doctor, or you don't. But if you don't, you can't sleep in here. We want what's best for you. If that means making what seem to be unfair deals with you, we will do it."
Katie scowled at him, took his hands off her shoulders, and then pushed herself back onto my bed. "Fine." She growled.
"One more thing Katie," I put my arm around her.
"What?" She asked me warily.
"Can you please stop growing up?" I sighed; I really didn't want her to grow up.
"I don't have any control over that."
"But you're my baby sister."
"That doesn't mean I'm going to be a baby forever," she pointed out smartly.
"At least let me baby you while I can!" I hated that she was getting more and more independent with every day.
"Does that mean that you let me sleep in here whenever I want?" She asked hopefully.
"Yeah," I grinned and ruffled her hair. "So will you stop growing up?" She smiled and nodded.
Logan was watching us from across the room; he grinned then got up and shut the door then turned out the lights. I tucked Katie in, and kissed her forehead.
"Will you sing to me?" She asked innocently, widening her eyes as if I would say no.
"How can I just let you walk away, How can you just walk away from me, So take a look at me now, I wish I could just make you turn around, So take a look at me now, Just take a look at me now"
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho
"Love you Katie," I kissed her forehead lightly, as she nestled against my chest.
