Heelllooo :) haha! I'm soooo happy everyone seems to like this so far! Sorry I haven't updated in the past few days. I was out all day. Where I live, it's summer, and today it was legit like 100 degrees out, so my friend's and I went to the pool and then out for lunch. Anyways, here is a chapter!
Logan nuzzled his face into Kendall's shoulder and dug his fingers into Kendall's back as he coughed violently. Kendall grew worried that his friend was coughing that hard. Kendall rubbed circled on Logan's back as he stood at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to arrive.
Kendall got onto the bus and sat Logan down next to him. Logan rested his head on Kendall's chest and fell asleep shortly after, only waking up a few times during the ride, to cough. Kendall scooped his friend up and left the bus when they arrived at the hospital. He swung the door open and ran up the front desk.
"Excuse me, ma'am."
The nurse turned around, "Yes?"
"My friend needs a doctor now." Kendall panted, being worried and out of breath, "…h-he has whooping cough and he couldn't breathe and he was throwing up a lot."
"Take a seat over there, and I'll get a doctor as soon as I can." She replied.
Kendall sat down in a seat, holding Logan on his lap, "It's almost over, buddy." Kendall cooed.
Logan coughed into his arm, "Kenny, my throat hurts."
Kendall could hear how hard Logan was coughing, which made him nervous. He hugged Logan and stroked his hair, trying to relax his friend. Why wasn't the nurse getting a doctor yet? Logan's coughing fit grew even louder.
"Logan, please try and stop coughing." Kendall tried.
"….ca….n…t…." Logan coughed even more violent.
Kendall could see sweat pouring down Logan's face. His eyes were bloodshot, and drooping with big bags. The tips of Logan's cheeks were red from the coughing. His hair was matted down to his forehead, and he looked extremely clammy. Logan's face began to turn a sick color of blue as he coughed even more and more.
"Loges." Kendall's voice cracked.
Logan coughed even more until everything gradually began to slow down.
"Can someone get him a doctor now?" Kendall's eyes became glassy with tears. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be happening. Logan was only 15.
"Please help him." Kendall sobbed as the nurse came over and took Logan away from him.
Kendall rested his head into his palms and cried. Why didn't he get Logan help sooner? This was his entire fault. All of a sudden, something inside Kendall fired up. He shot out of his seat and dashed down the hallway that the nurse brought Logan down.
"Sir! Get back here!" Someone yelled from behind him.
Kendall ignored them and kept running. Where was Logan? He had to find him.
"Logan!" Kendall yelled.
"LOGAN!" He screamed, dropping to his knees.
"What's the problem, son?" A doctor who was passing through the hall asked.
"M-my friend was turning all blue…a-and he-he passed out…an-and a nurse t-took him away." Kendall cried, "It's m-my fault Lo-Logan is sick…he-he had whooping c-cough and I-I shou-should have gotten him-him help soo-sooner…"
"Calm down." The doctor pat Kendall on the back when he saw the blonde was beginning to hyperventilate.
"I-is he o-okay? I-is Logan go-going to d-die…he-he's only 15…" Kendall wept.
"Why don't you come with me, and when you are allowed to see Logan, I'll take you to him." The doctor replied.
Kendall nodded and followed the doctor. A gruesome hour passed by, and finally, Kendall's phone rang. It was his mother…
"Kendall where are you?"
"The hospital."
"What happened?"
Kendall took a deep breath, and began to tell his mom about what happened to Logan. How he got sick, and how he got even worse, which resulted in him needed to go to the hospital. His mom listened to every bit…
"Mom…his parents…" Kendall felt himself begin to cry again.
"Yes?"
"They…they…kicked him out." Kendall stuttered.
"Why?"
"Because they said they didn't love him and he was worthless…Mom, they've been abusing him verbally all of his life, for now reason at all."
"Poor kid." His mom sighed.
"He needs a home." Kendall added.
"What's his address?"
"1418 Oak Road…why?"
"Do his parents still live there?"
"Yeah."
"Ok…I'll see you in a little bit, Kendall…Katie and I are coming home in a few days." His mom replied, and then hung the phone up.
Before Kendall knew it the doctor was back in the room with some papers…
"Would you like to see Logan now?" he asked.
Kendall looked up with hopeful eyes, "o-ok…"
Kendall and the doctor headed for Logan's hospital room. Kendall felt his heart break when he saw Logan in such a horrible state. He looked completely drained.
"H-hi Kenny." Logan said in a small weak voice.
Next to the hospital bed was a humidifier and an inhaler.
"Are you ok?" Kendall asked, "Do you feel better?"
"A little." Logan whispered, "The doctors had to give me an oxygen mask; then they made me use an inhaler…it helped, though. They said the mist from the humidifier will make it easier for me to breathe, too."
"I'm just glad you're ok." Kendall smiled, reaching over to hug his friend.
"The doctors gave me medicine and they said it'll make me drowsy once it kicks in, so they want me to stay overnight." Logan added.
"I'll be right by your side, the whole time, Logie…I'm not leaving." Kendall sat next to Logan and began to brush his hair out from in from of his face.
"Thanks, Kenny." Logan grinned.
