Absolutely everybody was in shock. Everything stopped, the band stopped playing, we stopped dancing and even the crowd fell so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop. Two medics made their way past the crowd to Kendall.
"Kendall!" Jo screeched. She Jen and Katie came onto the stage their eyes filled with tears.
James pulled them into a big hug.
I shook my head. None of us knew what happened to Kendall and if there was anything seriously wrong I didn't want the girls to see it, especially because they wouldn't have a clue to what's going on.
"I'll go check on him okay?" I rushed up the stage, followed by Gustavo and Kelly, to where the medics were seeing to Kendall. I gulped when I saw him. He was having a seizure and even worse he had hit his head pretty hard and it was bleeding. "Is...is he going to be okay?"
"Son we'll do our best now where's his mother? We need to get him to the hospital"
Jen rushed over, followed by Jo, Katie and James. The girls were supporting each other as they cried.
Gustavo pulled me to the side and practically ordered me to make sure that everybody goes to the hospital for Kendall. He and Kelly would stay here and sort out the rest of the concerts and everything here.
The medics moved Kendall into a waiting ambulance. He looked so pale. So ghostlike and breakable lying there covered in white sheets.
The girls gasped and their crying got louder.
"we're sorry but only one person can come with us" One of the medics said.
"Don't worry Jen we'll look after Katie" I promised giving her a hug "we'll follow you"
We went to the car. Jo and Katie were in absolute pieces and were hardly keeping it together.
"I can't stop seeing it, the moment it happened I mean" Jo said.
"I know" Katie sobbed.
"Kendall he's going to be okay, he'll make it through this" I didn't know if I was trying to convince them or me but I had to hope that he would be okay, I couldn't start thinking otherwise.
"But what if it isn't?" Carlos asked "What happens if he doesn't come back?"
"Carlos Don't speak like that we all need to know he will make it through" I snapped.
He looked as if he was about to cry.
"Sorry, Kendall he had a seizure" I said "And its bad"
"He's not had one of those for years" Katie said "not since I was little"
We all fell silent as James pulled into the hospital car park.
He just needed time to recover, he needed time I kept saying to myself to give me hope.
We all dashed inside the main doors.
"Where's Katie?" Jo asked, wiping her tears from her cheek.
I turned round she was shaking her head, standing in front of the hospital doors. I guess she didn't like hospitals that well. I nodded to her and then led the others through to Accident and Emergency. "She's just going to wait outside for a little bit"
Carlos put a hand on my shoulder "I don't like it in here"
"no-one does buddy" I agreed.
They all stared at me like they thought I was loosing my mind. I want to help people to get better, I don't like seeing people in pain but especially not my best friend, its worse not knowing what is wrong. I can''t stand this!"
I led them to the relatives room and knocked on the door before walking in. "Hi Jen"
She sniffled, holding Kendall's jumper in her hand. "he had another seizure in the ambulance I thought he was going to die"
It was like she was speaking to a wall or something, no emotions or anything like that. It was as if we weren't there. She repeated it again.
Jo pulled her into a hug "he's going to be okay"
Jen wiped her tears "yeah he's got to be, where's Katie?"
I sat down beside her and put my hand on her knee "i don't think she could face coming in so she stayed outside"
Jen nodded slowly.
"Don't worry" James said "me and Carlos will go find her and maybe bring back some drinks?"
James
I didn't want to admit it in front of the guys but the hospital was really starting to get to me even though we weren't in there for too long. Carlos himself looked like he was going to throw up unless we got some fresh air soon.
I shoved my hands in my pants pocket and sighed "where should we start looking"
There wasn't many places that would could look in for her.
Carlos pointed over to the hospital garden "I know if it was me I would want to go to the nicest place I could find"
Katie was sat in the middle of the garden on a bench surrounded by red roses. She was crying and I didn't really know what to say to make it better. She held a red rose in her hand and sobbed.
"Hey its okay" I said softly.
Katie wiped all of her tears away and stood up. "I guess I'll have to go in there some time"
We walked out of the garden to be greeted by the media, obviously desperate for a story. I pulled Katie close to me and ignored all the microphones being thrust in my face.
"Don't say anything" I said to Carlos who was not the best at speaking in public, come to think of it no-one is apart from Kendall who was basically our front man.
We walked back inside and got some drinks for everybody. Katie was quieter than usual but I put that down to being worried about Kendall and Jen who looked like she was going to break down. We'd been through broken arms, broken elbows, broken ankles and my laryngitis but nothing as bad as this.
