Jo
We sat in silence as Camille navigated through the streets back to the Palm Woods. It seemed like almost every road that she chose we saw at least one reporter with one camera and a microphone, not to mention the horde of reporters that decided to follow us from the hospital.
I didn't like it. They wanted to make money out of Kendall's misfortune and it made me feel sick the way they are going at it. I felt like nothing was private any more, like we were being attacked or scrutinised by the whole world because of it.
My eyes were so tired, I felt physically and emotionally drained but I felt too tired and too worried about Kendall to even consider resting like everybody wants me to do.
I should be there at the hospital ready and waiting for Kendall to wake up and instead I am back here, the last place I want to be without Kendall with me. I don't know how long I can last living like this let alone anyone else.
"Right guys the reporters were everywhere, and hiding everywhere when I left so we probably won't be safe until we are up in one of the rooms" Camille warned.
Katie sighed loudly. "they won't go, not until they get a story. That's all they care about. They don't care that my bro is in hospital"
Camille pulled into the car park and suddenly there was no daylight as we were swamped by about forty cameras, ten microphones and fifteen journalists fighting with each other to climb on the car.
"Oh hell" Camille said pressing the horn on the car "GET OFF MY CAR YOU VULTURES!"
I sighed "We're going to have to make a run for it they're just going to wait until we get out" I grabbed Katie's hand and pushed her out the car "Keep your heads down and run they won't be able to follow us inside"
Together we forced our way through the journalists who were taking pictures and throwing microphones in our faces and made it inside.
I yawned and put my hand against the wall as an attempt to disguise how dizzy I felt as we waited for the lift.
"are you alright?" Camille asked.
I smiled weakly as the lift opened. "I'm fine i'm just tired i've not slept properly since before...the accident. I was on set for thirteen hours before it happened and then I went to the concert and then..."
Katie fell back against me, asleep.
"Hey Katie two minutes yeah? I'll make us a quick sandwich and then you can get some rest"
"I'm not tired" she said stubbornly rubbing her eyes.
Camille and I rolled our eyes as we followed her inside the room she shared with her mum and the guys.
Camille busied herself in the kitchen and made sandwiches and passed out a big bag of crisps. We ate quickly. Me and Katie hadn't ate much at the hospital since the food wasn't that nice and I was too worried about Kendall to be hungry. I wasn't even that hungry now but Camille was watching me like a hawk.
Katie went into her room once she had finished. I hoped that she was going to try get some rest but knowing Katie as I did she probably wanted to get back to Kendall same as me.
"You should get some rest too" Camille said collecting all the plates. "I'll clean up around here for the guys and in a couple of hours once you are rested we can go back to the hospital okay?"
I nodded, not really taking in what she was saying. I turned and went into Kendall's room that he shared with Logan. It almost made me laugh one half of the room was extremely tidy and that was Logan's side. A couple of Logan's latest experiments still sat on the desk untouched and untried. Papers were neatly collected into a pile and pens were in a pot but\ Kendall was completely the opposite. Kendall's bed looked like a bomb had hit it and the wardrobe causing all of his clothes to spill out and scatter everywhere. I reached out for Kendall's favourite hoodie that he had left crumpled on top of his pillow. I breathed it in deeply, it still smelt just like Kendall and it reminded me of our first date.
I curled up into a ball on Kendall's bed and cried, glad that no-one could see me like this. I didn't hold anything back not like I had at the hospital, now it was the right time to let it out. I would have laughed a few years ago if someone would have told me that I would have an amazing boyfriend, I wouldn't have believed them. I was an aspiring actress and I few years back I promised myself and my mum that I would focus on my career but now it feels like i've known Kendall a lot longer than what I have and to be quite honest I cannot literally imagine my life without Kendall being it especially because of how much he tried to get me to go out on a date with him. Kendall is my soul mate but right now my Kendall isn't here and he might never come back to me, that scares the hell out of me.
Carlos
Jo eventually went back to the Palm Woods with Katie and Camille. Hopefully she would rest, but I can't so I can expect her to? Helmet was depressed too, we hadn't played hockey in a while not since before...
James and Logan went to get us some drinks while me and Mrs Knight waited outside the scanner room. I paced up and down the corridor, I was too worried to sit still unlike Mrs Knight who sat there knitting and reading magazines. I guess she was just trying to distract herself, trying to stop herself from thinking the worst.
Kendall had been in there for absolutely ages. What on earth was going on in there? A party?
I groaned "How long does it take to have a scan?"
"Sweetie they're doing their best in there" Mama Knight said.
I sighed. "I just hate waiting!"
I knew what she was going to say. She was going to say that we couldn't do anything even because we wanted to, it was all in the doctor's hands. I just wished that someone would come and let us know what is going on with Kendall before my head explodes.
I started jumping up and down just so I could tire myself out while I waited for the guys to come back. Yeah like that did any good.
"Any news?" James asked as he and Logan returned passing me and Mama Knight a drink.
I shook my head "I am so bored right now" I gulped down the rest of my coke.
Logan nodded "We've been waiting here a while now"
Mama Knight smiled weakly "I know its hard but when there is something to know we will be told"
I sat down and began to count the tiles on the ceiling "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24"
"What are you doing?" James asked.
I shrugged my shoulders and started counting faster but in my head. I needed to do something to distract me from thinking about Kendall all by himself in there and right now counting seemed to do it. Logan sat down and started to read his medical book. James sat on my other side holding out the snacks out between us. We all wanted Kendall back with us but right now we could be waiting a while.
I was getting bored of the silence. Being in the hospital was doing my head in alone and patience isn't my strong suit. I started counting out loud but very slowly.
"Carlos stop it!" Logan snapped after about five minutes. He slammed his book shut.
"Stop doing what?"
"Counting"
"I'm only trying to distract myself!" I retorted
"Well so am I !" Logan snapped
"Right so you can do what you want and I can't?" I jumped to my feet.
Logan jumped to his feet and pushed his sleeves up.
"Oh boy" James muttered and jumped in between us. "This isn't the time or the place to argue!"
We stopped yelling at each other for a moment. Logan grabbed helmet! I tried to get it back but ruffled up James' hair.
"Oh no you didn't!" James yelled and tackled me to the floor.
"Guys!" Mama Knight shouted. "Stop this!"
"Logan started it!" I blamed.
"No you started it!" Logan grabbed my arm.
I elbowed him in the face but he kicked me in the knee.
"Guys!" Mama Knight shouted at the top of her lungs.
A loud buzzer sounded, deafening me. Before I knew it mama Knight pulled us to our feet and clobbered each of us around our ears.
The large doors to the scan room burst open and the doctors and the nurses wheeled Kendall past us.
"What's going on?" Mama Knight asked.
"Kendall needs urgent brain surgery" A doctor was kind enough to tell us "Time is of the essence do we have your permission?"
