Chapter 5

The group of five plus Jo had found themselves in the waiting room once more that night. All of them worried about Kendall, and just when things started to look up, they went wrong again. Everyone started feeling guilty in their way, believing they should've checked on the boy more or that someone should've stayed in the room with him. Either way, the damage was done, and the tension between the group was evident as they waited for news on Kendall. Jo had been packing for the past ten minutes, and Mama Knight had started crying a little; worry got to them.

"Jo, can you stop pacing? It's making me dizzy?" James questioned as he eyes the blonde-haired girl. He sat straight in his chair and stretched.

Stopping in her tracks, Jo just eyed James. With a sigh, she caved and sat down. "Sorry, I'm just worried about Kendall; when will we hear anything?" Jo questioned as she looked over at her boyfriends' mother.

"Anytime soon, I would assume…." Mama Knight states with a sniffle. "...At least I hope so."

More silence filled the group as they continued to wait. All of them were starting to get over the unbearable feeling of worry. An hour passed when the group hears footsteps approaching them, and when they looked up, they saw Kelly and Gustavo arriving. Both adults looked a little out of breath, and they joined the group to wait.

"How is he? We got here as soon as we could." Gustavo explains with a sigh as he shakes his head. "I can't believe the kids in the hospital again, and I just hope he's okay." Gustavo finishes as he sits in a chair across from the group.

Everyone looks at him, slightly surprised, sure he calls them dogs and is always yelling at them, but they had to hope somewhere deep down the man cared about them. It turned, he seems to, which makes the group smile a little as Kelly sits down too next to Gustavo. The waiting room is half full, not many there, but then again, it was almost around midnight. They had been told to go home once, but they refused, all worried about Kendall to even think about sleeping. The workers finally gave up and just let them stay.

"We don't know yet, and we're still waiting." Logan pips up, making the two adults frown.

"Poor Kendall, the kid isn't having any luck, is he?" Kelly questioned with a sad sigh as she sunk into her chairs while the others shook their heads.

It was about around three am when a doctor finally came out. At this point, almost half the group was asleep in their chairs (mainly the boys) as time went on, and they got tired of waiting. However, when the doctor came out, he finally called for Kendall; this caused everyone to wake instantly. Mama Knight raised her hand, saying they were for Kendall, and the man came over to the group; he gave them all a small weak smile.

"How is he, doctor, please? We've been waiting all night to know." Mama Knight questioned as more tears of worry threatened to spill down her cheeks.

The doctor sighs, "Well, it seems as Mr. Knight gave us all a scare. We have diagnosed that he hit his head either on the end table or the bed with the way you found him. There was a pretty big gash on the back of his forehead, and it bled a lot. With the throwing up you told us about, it would seem as if his pneumonia is still there, so he must've gotten up to go to the bathroom and had a dizzy spell…." The doctor explains as he frowns, seeing the group's worried faces. He continues, "It's just all result of a bad case of pneumonia. However, his fever has returned at a whomping 103.1, so we would like to keep him here until his fever goes. Also, we would like to wait until he wakes up, sees how he acts, and get tests done to see if any brain damaged was caused; we gave him some blood transfusions since he lost a lot from the head injury. I assure you, though, Mr. Knight will be alright. We are doing everything we can to help him."

Everyone nods at this, all of them frowning more as they all feel their hearts clutch. "Alright, thank you, doctor. Can we see him?" Mrs. Knight asks through a choke-full of tears.

With a smile at the group, the doctor nods. "Yes, you may; however, because there are a few of you, I would recommend two at a time. You are welcome to stay and wait, but I would suggest staying with Mr. Knight while the others go home and get some rest. You can see him in the morning…." The doctor finishes while seeing the time read almost three in the morning.

"Okay, thank you, doctor, for everything you have done for him." Mrs. Knight says softly. "Well, I'm staying that's final, but who wants to be my second for the night?"

It had been a simple question but a hard decision. However, in the end, the guys had decided to let Logan stay with Mrs. Knight (because of his knowledge for wanting to be a doctor; so he could help better if something started happening) while they took Katie home for her to get some rest. With them all leaving, Kelly and Gustavo left as well. Logan and Mrs. Knight walked with the doctor to Kendall's room.

Entering Kendall's room, Logan and Mrs. Knight feel their hearts tighten again. Mrs. Knight lets more tears roll down her cheeks, and Logan allows a few to leak out as well. Whipping their tears away, they hold hands and walk over to Kendall's bed. The first thing they noticed was that Kendall was still asleep, and the second thing they noticed was that his heart monitor was beeping. Finally, they also saw all the other wires and machines connecting to the blonde.
The sight never seems to stop being sad, and both stayed by Kendall's side the whole night.

During the night into the early morning, Logan and Mrs. Knight took turns staying awake and sleeping on the couch in the room beside them. It had felt like a long night when both of them finally decided they couldn't sleep anymore, too worried about Kendall. By around five am, the two were by his bedside quietly talking to one another when they heard a sudden movement from the blonde-haired boy.

Looking in his direction, Logan and Mrs. Knight watched for a moment, thinking it was their imagination from being sleep-deprived. But, as they were about to continue the conversation, their eyes widen when they saw Kendall start to stir a little bit. The boy awakens more, and they watch, just waiting to see if he wakes but all while trying not to get their hopes up. It seems to happen for a bit of a bit; Kendall stirs and starts to toss and turn a little.

Finally, after about ten minutes, he calms down, and Logan grabs Kendall's hand. It's silent for a moment, and the silence gets to both Logan and Mrs. Knight. Their hearts are aching and longing for their friend and son to wake. However, the boy seems to go back into a peaceful slumber.

With a sigh, Logan says out loud, "Hey Kendall, I don't know if you can hear me or not, but it's me, Logan, and your mom by your side. The others will be here soon, and we forced them to go home and try to get some sleep. We miss you, buddy, and we hope you're okay. Hang in there, alright; we need you. We love you, Kendall; squeeze my hand twice if you can hear me…." Logan finishes as a few tears roll down his cheeks.

At first, nothing happens as Logan wipes his tears away and Mrs. Knight squeezes his shoulder in comfort. Then, Logan's head perc's up and his eyes wide as he feels Kendall's hand press him twice. After the second squeeze, the blonde stirs again, and before the two know what's happening, they watch as Kendall's eyes slowly open. It takes a little time for the boy to get his eyes fully open, but they soon are, and the blonde is awake.

"Kendall? Kendall, can you hear me?" Mrs. Knight questions as soon as the boy's eyes are open. The two watch in amazement, and they wait to see how Kendall is doing.

The blonde-haired, green-eyed boy looks around for a moment and then at the two. His face shows signs of confusion as he asks, "Where am I?"

Logan sighs and frowns, "You in the hospital. We were all so worried about you, and you gave us all a scare when you hit your head, Kendall. Even Gustavo and Kelly were here, and they were concerned. We are just glad you're okay! How are you feeling?" Logan finishes as he eyes the boy, who keeps looking at him with a confused expression as he speaks.

Once more, there is silence, as if the sick boy is trying to figure out how to respond. Kendall then says, "I'm sorry that happened to me….but uh one question…."Kendall began as he eyes the two with worry and slight panic. He then says, "...Who are you? Do I know you? And...who's Kendall?..."

The questions make Mrs. Knight and Logan's eyes widen. Mrs. Knight burst into more tears at the end of the train of the question, and Logan frowns and sighs. Kendall looks at the two in even more confusion and fright, the reactions of the two not helping his situation. Logan managed to get Mrs. Knight calmed down, and they gather by Kendall's bed again.

"It's clear what he has, amnesia...he must've lost his memory due to brain damage from hitting his head. I'll call the doctor." Logan finishes with a frown, and a few more tears rolled down his cheeks, and he pressed the call button.

So, they waited for the doctor to come in as quick as he could…
