I will fight!
When Logan became unconscious, a doctor and a nurse took him to an empty treatment room, and there he immediately supplied his wound on the head. Carlos agreed to stay with Logan until he recovered. Sylvia took care of Camille's father in the meantime. Now Carlos was sitting on a chair next to Logan, looking at his brother with a sad look. He wondered how much a person could actually endure. Carlos was proud of Logan, but at the same time he was afraid. Afraid that Logan would make a big stupidity. And that fear was justified.
A car accident was always a terrible experience, especially if a person dies who loves you. And as if it had not been bad enough, Logan had also suffered a disability. Then came the insults of the others. All turned away from Logan, even his alleged friends. Logan was already down after the car accident and the behavior of the others made everything worse. But then they moved and they met Kendall and the other classmates. And almost all of them were quite nice to Logan, and slowly the hope came that everything would be all right. Then Logan was attacked. The hope of a half-normal life was destroyed again, until Camille suddenly appeared. She was a gift from Heaven, because she helped Logan to get back to life. She showed him that it was okay to sit in the wheelchair and that he didn't need to be ashamed. She made him laugh again and she gave him back the love that was taken away to him when his father died. All this was even more impressive when one considered that Camille had a difficult past too and had a difficult future ahead of her. She supported Logan during the treatment and was there for him when he was no longer able to continue. Because of all these facts, Logan loved her ... And now she was attacked and was in a coma. No wonder Logan had fainted. It was all too much for him. That is why Carlos was afraid. It was difficult now to live without a father, but Carlos couldn't bear to lose his brother. With a trembling hand, he stroked Logan's hair. "Please don't do any stupid things, Logie."
"Why not?," Logan asked weakly, slowly opening his eyes. Carlos saw pain in his eyes. A pain that certainly didn't come from the injury on his head. He gently pressed Logan's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Logie."
Logan didn't say anything, just staring. After a while he said, "It's all my fault."
Carlos looked at him in surprise. "What are you talking about? You didn't do anything."
Logan nodded. "That's the point: I didn't do anything."
Carlos was silent. Logan looked up at him with a pained face. "Don't you understand? If I were more concerned about this therapy, then I might have already made better progress. Then I could have brought her home and then that would not have happened. It's my fault."
Carlos shook his head. "That's not true, Logan. You..."
Logan interrupted him, "Yes, it it's true! I wonder what she found so special about me anyway. She deserves a boyfriend, who can protect her when it comes to it and with whom she can do a lot of things. But she certainly doesn't need one like me, whom she has to take care of all the time. I'm not worth it."
"Logan ... Don't say something like that. Camille loves you. You know that."
Logan shook his head. "But why? How can one love someone, who is a depressed, frightened and worthless crip-"
"Logan!," Carlos shouted angry. "I don't want you to say that word! You are not a cripple, understood? Stop saying this all the time! You're making things worse!"
Logan said nothing. He stared at Carlos and tears came into his eyes. Instantly Carlos felt absolutely miserable. He moved closer to his brother and hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry, Logan. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to yell at you. That was dumb of me. You're great. Camille knows that, I know it and mom knows it, too. And you're right: Camille will wake up and then everything will be all right. Promised."
Logan returned the embrace and closed his eyes. He thought of Camille. How courageous she was. She had gone through so much, but she had not let herself be put off. She just kept going. She simply deserved a perfect boyfriend. "And I will be this perfect boyfriend," Logan thought resolutely. Suddenly the grief and pain had disappeared. Instead, an iron determination spread within him, giving him renewed strength and confidence. Carlos noticed the changed look in Logan's eyes. "Are you all right?," he asked cautiously. Logan nodded. "Yes. I ... I know now what I have to do."
"And what?"
Logan took a deep breath. "It is true. Camille loves me the way I am. That's exactly why she deserves a perfect boyfriend and I will make sure she gets him. When Camille wakes up, I'll be able to walk again."
Carlos stared at him. "You ... You really want to go through it? You know this will not be easy, will it?"
"For Camille I do everything. I will go back to the clinic and continue the treatment. No matter how difficult it is. This time I will not give up. Besides, I still have you and mom."
"Sure, of course. Together we can do it."
Logan smiled. "I'm curious what mom will say."
"Me too. Wait here, I'll get her." Carlos ran to the door excitedly. But before he went out, he looked at Logan seriously and said, "Hey, Logan..."
"Yes?"
"I am proud of you. And ... Dad would be proud, too."
Logan smiled. "Thanks Carlitos."
