Chapter 2
Aftermath
"It's getting harder to stay awake, and my strength is fading fast. You breath into me at last."
Out in the hallway Jo's pace seemed to drag. Her shock was slowing her down and she was in no condition to be walking around yet. So Logan stopped and shifted the jacket that was loosely around her shoulders making sure it wouldn't fall off.
Then he took her right arm and slung it around his neck. His right arm went behind her knees while his left supported her back, and he picked her up, holding her bridal style. He squeezed his eyes shut as the pain in his left shoulder ignited with a fiery force, then continued walking towards an elevator.
"Logan!" Kendall yelled, they finally caught up with them and Kendall and James were walking along side of Logan while Carlos and Jett walked closely behind them.
"The sirens are closer, they must be just outside. Come on." Logan said, though he was still breathing heavily and his voice was strained. They reached the elevator and James started frantically pushing the down button repeatedly, not talking his eyes off Logan.
"Logan you're hurt! You shouldn't be carrying Jo, you could make it worse!" Kendall lectured. His worry was raising as was James' and Carlos'.
The doors opened and everyone quickly scrambled in. Carlos being in front of the controls, mimicked James and frantically pushed the main floor button.
"Logan seriously, that can't be good for your shoulder." James said.
"Let Kendall carry Jo." Carlos more demanded than suggested. Logan nodded and Kendall held his arms out to take his girlfriend. But as Logan started to pull her away from him, she tightened her grip around him with both arms and started to shake again.
"Jo it's okay!" Kendall said desperately, but she pulled herself as close to Logan as she possibly could.
"Jo it's Kendall!" James tried, just as desperate. But she didn't respond to anyone.
Kendall looked at Logan with a mixture of hurt, worry and remorse in his eyes. He was hurt that his girlfriend seemed to be scared of his very touch. He was worried about Jo, why was she acting like this? He was also worried about Logan, his shoulder was injured, and he shouldn't be adding extra weight to it. And he felt remorse because he couldn't relieve Logan of the extra weight on his bad shoulder, he couldn't help him.
"It's okay." Logan said. "I'll only have to carry her until we reach the ambulance and they check her up anyways." He said in an attempt to ease their worry. They all reluctantly nodded and Kendall looked back to Jo. She was tightly gripping Logan's shirt, but she stopped shaking again, he felt slightly relieved.
"She'll be more responsive once the shock wears off." Logan informed, and Kendall looked at him with worried eyes. Logan gave him a reassuring smile and Kendall nodded in response.
Finally, they reached the first floor and the doors opened. The woman who lived in the apartment they were in, was standing there talking to a paramedic, another one standing beside him and nodding along with her story.
She turned around and was about to lead the two up to her apartment when she caught sight of Kendall and the others in the elevator. "There!" She yelled pointing to the elevator and started running up to them.
Kendall and the others walked towards her and the men and they met halfway in the middle of the lobby.
"Who fell?" The man she was talking to asked. Kendall, James and Carlos all backed away leaving Logan, Jo and Jett in the middle of the man's sights.
"They did." Kendall said pointing to them.
The man nodded. "Alright. Come with me." He said and he and his partner led them outside and towards the ambulance, Logan and Jett trailing them, and Kendall, James and Carlos trailing Logan and Jett. The woman tentatively followed behind.
The ambulance's back doors were opened and the first man gestured Logan to set Jo on the edge. Logan nodded and gingerly set her down, then adjusted the jacket, pulling it closer around her. He sat down beside her on her left side, wrapping his right arm around her shoulders. He pulled her close and she gripped his shirt while her left arm went around his back and clutched at the back of his shirt.
The second man gestured for Jett to sit down beside him. Then both men pulled out mini flashlights and started looking them over. The first man looked at Jo first as the second looked over Jett, pointing the flashlights in their eyes and feeling around their neck and limbs for any injuries. The guys just watched in concern and fear while the woman watched with concern.
The first man went to touch Jo's neck to feel for injuries but she flinched and pulled into Logan. "Don't touch her, she's really scared." Logan said as he held her close and gave her a comforting squeeze, and the man nodded.
"Now what exactly happened?" The first man asked as they worked.
"The railing on the roof broke." Logan informed.
"Someone should really have that looked at." Jett added bitterly.
"She fell first." Logan continued. "She was pretty scared and she's in shock. But I don't think she's hurt." He said looking at Jo. He started rubbing her arm up and down soothingly with his right hand as his left arm rested in his lap.
"He jumped off." Carlos chimed in, everyone looked at him and he nodded to Logan. "He jump off the roof after Jo." He said in somewhat of a daze, reliving the events.
"He saved her." Kendall added quietly. He looked at Logan who was still watching Jo, rubbing her arm and, blushing a little. A ghost of a smirk crossed Kendall's face at that.
The men shared shocked and amazed looks, then nodded. "Well she doesn't seem to be injured. Just in shock." The man said as he finished Jo's inspection. "Just like your friend here said." He nodded to Logan who then looked up at him.
The man smirked as Logan blushed a little harder then looked down when his friends shot him proud smiles. The woman let a small, warm smile break out on her face.
"Did you even fall off of the roof?" The second man asked as he finished looking over Jett. He looked at him incredulously with a hint of annoyance in his face, thinking that they were lying and wasting his time.
"That stupid railing broke when I touched it. Just like it did when she fell." Jett replied with annoyance in his voice.
"After Logan caught Jo. . . ." Kendall continued somewhat distant. Like Carlos, it was as if he was finally realizing exactly what happened, and the amazement was just hitting him, hitting all of them. "Jett fell. I tried to catch him but. . . ." He shook his head. "So he fell and. . . ." He trailed off again and everyone was quiet for a while as they tried to wrap their minds around what happened next. The paramedics exchanged confused looks.
"Well you're perfectly fine." The second medic said. "I can't even find a scratch. You're a lucky man." He said patting him on the back. "Not a lot of people can say that they fell off of the roof of a 30 story building and survived without a scratch! Not to mention any emotional damage. How the heck did you manage that?"
"He caught me." Jett replied, and looked at Logan who was still staring at the ground. The medics' eyes widened and then they too looked at Logan, astonishment and disbelief all over their faces.
"Why don't you take her," The first medic started gesturing to Jo. "And go stand over there with your friends so I can look him over?" He gestured to Kendall and the others.
"She won't leave his side." Carlos informed the man as Jett stood up and joined them where they were standing slightly off to the side.
The medic looked at Jo, she was staring straight ahead, her eyes were somewhere else, but she was gripping Logan's shirt with her right hand while her left was gripping his back.
He nodded to the guys then began his check up on Logan with the flashlight just as he had with Jo, then feeling around his neck. He moved down slowly and brushed up against his shoulders, causing Logan to hiss in pain.
"His shoulder is dislocated!" Kendall blurted out. Despite just talking about it moments ago, it seems they had all suddenly forgotten about Logan's injured shoulder as they were retelling their story of the previous events.
The medic nodded. "Alright. Logan was it?" Logan nodded. "Alright Logan, I'll try to be gentle." He continued his inspection gently and carefully, making sure there was nothing else wrong.
Then he moved back up to his shoulder, poking it gently in different spots and mentally noting all the points that made Logan wince. "Well it's not bad enough to need a trip to the hospital, but I'll have to pop it back in. Think you can be strong for a little longer Logan?" Logan nodded and the medic nodded back then took his shoulder gently, positioning his hands correctly. "Ready?" Logan nodded again, and closed his eyes, bracing himself. "1. . .2. . ." *Crack*.
Logan tried his hardest to keep from screaming. His friends were watching and he still held Jo and didn't want to scare her more. But his hardest proved to not be good enough as he still let a cry of pain escape his lips.
His friends instinctively jumped forward, every bone in their bodies screaming at them to protect their friend. He managed to send them a small smile and a nod with pained eyes, and they reluctantly stopped themselves before they yanked Logan away from the person trying to help him.
The woman brought her hand to her mouth in horror. But Jo seemed unfazed.
Logan squeezed his eyes shut and breathed heavily. The medic still held his shoulder and gestured to his partner to grab something. The second man went into the back of the ambulance and returned with some cloth, handing it to the first medic. He tied it around Logan's neck and carefully lifted his arm into the sling.
"Okay," The first medic breathed. "Other than the dislocated shoulder you're exhausted. You've exerted your body far past its limits. I'm surprised it hasn't given out completely yet. But you're gonna be okay as long as you get lots of rest." He turned to Kendall and the others. "You make sure he rests okay?" They nodded, relieved that everyone was fine now, for the most part. The medics nodded to the boys with encouraging smiles, then started packing up.
The guys approached Logan and Jo, Kendall standing on Logan's left while James stood on Jo's right, and Carlos in front of them. Kendall carefully held Logan, one hand on his back and the other underneath his arm and sling, while James tentatively put his hands out in front of Jo, not touching her but making sure he'd be ready to catch her and Logan if Logan's body did give out then and there. Carlos stood in front of them doing the same.
Logan still held Jo with all of his remaining strength and lead her off the back of the ambulance, Kendall helping him. The second his feet hit the ground they felt like jelly, but he pushed through it and he remained standing. Then Kendall lead them to their previous spots while holding onto Logan carefully, and they all turned around to see the medics off.
The medics finished packing up and stood in front of the boys. "Now make sure you get lots of rest and keep that arm in the sling for at least a week." The first medic instructed. "Be extra careful not to bump your shoulder or move it around while it heals." The boys nodded to the first medics' instructions.
"As for her." He turned his eyes to Jo. "The shock shouldn't last for more than a day. If she doesn't snap out of it today don't worry. She should be fine after a good night's sleep. Just try not to agitate her. Make sure she's not in any situation that would scare her even more."
The boys nodded again and the medic gave them a warm smile. "And no more falling or jumping off roofs okay?" They all gave small smiles at his joke, then he looked at Logan. "You're a very brave young man. I've never heard of a case where a person jumped off a roof to save another. And succeeded in saving two people!" Logan blushed then looked down. "Your friends are lucky to have a friend like you." He finished.
Kendall patted Logan gently on the back. "We know." He said warmly. James and Carlos were beaming with ear-to-ear grins across their faces. Jett just looked down guiltily.
The medic nodded. "Alright, well we better get going."
"Thank you for everything." Logan said.
"Yeah, thanks so much." Kendall said.
The medics nodded and got in their truck. They sent the boys friendly salutes then drove away, leaving the boys standing outside the apartment building. They turned around to go back inside, when they caught sight of the woman who was watching them with concerned eyes.
"Sorry for disturbing you ma'am." Logan said.
The woman's eyes grew warm. "Is everyone okay then?" She asked. After receiving nods from everyone she sighed in relief, bringing a hand to her chest. "I'm glad to hear that."
"Thanks for your help. We're okay now." Kendall said. The woman nodded and they all went inside. There, the woman left them in the small, empty lobby with a smile, then they carefully made their way to the seats lining the lobby.
Kendall helped Logan sit while Logan helped Jo. Then Kendall fell into the seat beside Logan, Jett beside him. James sat next to Jo with Carlos beside him, and they were silent for a while, the only sound being Logan's heavy breathing.
"I'd better call mom and tell her what happened." Kendall finally said. "She can pick us up." After receiving nods from the others, he got up, took his phone out of his pocket and pressed the speed dial while walking a bit away from the guys for some privacy, leaving them in a silence again.
"I'm thirsty." Carlos finally blurted out.
"There's a vending machine right over there." James pointed out annoyedly.
"Oh yeah." Carlos said and he stood up. "Anyone want anything? Logan?"
"Maybe. . .Some water." He breathed, he was getting weaker. But he had to stay awake until Jo snapped out of her shock or she could get worse.
Carlos nodded then waited for the others' answers. They all nodded in agreement and he took off for the vending machine. They watched him as he walked to the other side of the lobby, then turned to Kendall who seemed to be trying to calm down an obviously hysterical Mrs. Knight.
James and Logan smirked as they watched the display slunked in their seats, then James turned his head to Logan. "How are you doing?"
Logan turned his head to face him. "I'll be fine." He breathed, sending a weak, reassuring nod.
James looked at him incredulously. Logan was far from fine. It seemed to be a struggle just to breathe. He could barely keep his eyes open. He was over exhausted. Even the paramedics were shocked that he was still conscious after all that. Logan had exerted his body far past its limits and it could give out any minute.
He was also in pain. His shoulder was dislocated yet he still used it to pull him, Jett and Jo to safety. Logan needed rest desperately, and James hated not being able to help him. James brushed a hand through his hair as he let out an annoyed sigh, then rested his gaze on the wall straight ahead. "This sucks."
Logan let out a small chuckle and began to rub Jo's arm sub-consciously. Silence fell once again.
"Back." Carlos returned then with six waters. He handed James one, tossed one to Jett, then opened one and handed it to Logan.
"Thanks." Logan breathed, then awkwardly held the bottle to his mouth with the arm around Jo. Carlos nodded, put another bottle on the table in front of them, then returned to his seat, drinking his own water while still holding another. Once Logan was done with his, James took it and set on the table for him, receiving a thankful nod in response.
"Kendall still talking to Mrs. Knight?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah." James said. "I bet he's getting the ultimate lecture about not standing too close to the ledge of a building." He joked.
Carlos laughed. "She probably banned him from rooftops completely!" He said chuckling. James and Logan chuckled with him.
"Knowing, Mrs. Knight, she probably banned ALL of us from rooftops completely!" James said, and they all laughed.
"Why did you save me?" The question brought them out of their laughter suddenly and they turned to Jett with confused looks. Jett sat up fully, twisting his body to look at Logan. "I'm really mean to you guys. Especially Kendall. I know he hates me for making Jo fall in the first place," His voice got quiet with a hint of bitterness, "Even though he was equally as guilty." Then his voice returned to its previous inquiring tone. "Why save me?" It was quiet for a bit as Jett waited for an answer.
"Because, it was the right thing to do." Logan finally said. "No one deserves to die."
"Logan just has a heart too big for his own good." Carlos joked with a smile.
"Yeah no kidding. I'd just let you fall." James said in an obviously kidding tone as he ruffled Logan's hair. Logan smacked him lightly on the chest. "Okay okay. Logan's right. No one deserves to die." Smirks broke out all around. Even Jett had a sheepish smile on his face, then he slunked back down into his seat.
Finally, Kendall turned around and walked back over. "Okay, she's coming to get us. but she says we're not aloud on roofs anymore." Carlos nudged James and they all laughed, leaving Kendall a little confused. He just shook his head. "Hey where did you get the. . ." Carlos threw him the other water. "Thanks." Kendall said with a nod. Carlos nodded back with a small grin and Kendall took his seat beside Logan, taking a big gulp of his water. Then he rested his head on the back of the chair and let out a big sigh.
"How ya doin'?" Logan asked. He received a very shocked looked from Kendall who raised his head to look at him.
"How am I doing?" He asked incredulously. "Are you seriously asking me that? You just fell off a roof, you have a dislocated shoulder and you're exhausted beyond belief. You can barely keep your eyes open and you're asking me how I'm doing?" His shock was shared by both Jett and James. "You're unbelievable."
"You know Logan." Carlos said, he wasn't shocked by Logan's concern for his friend despite his situation. "He's crazy. Always putting others before himself." Carlos said with a cheeky grin. Logan just blushed then looked down again.
"You didn't answer my question." Logan said and he turned back to Kendall. "How are you doing Kendall?" He said with more concern this time.
Kendall stared at him, not knowing what to say. How was he doing? He had just witnessed a horrifying thing; his girlfriend and one of his best friends had fallen off a roof. They were going to die. That thought kept ringing in his mind; they could have died. Kendall was so shaken up by that fact, his friends could have died and he couldn't do anything to save them. He couldn't protect them. He had failed them as a leader, and a boyfriend.
Even now they're still hurting. Logan's shoulder is messed up, and he desperately needs rest, but he can't until Jo is okay. Kendall can't take Jo for him and let him rest. Jo is in shock, and she won't let anyone but Logan touch her. Kendall can't hold her and tell her everything is okay. He was devastated that Jo didn't seem to want his touch. Kendall wasn't okay, not at all, and he hated that Logan could see that, especially now when Logan is the one that needs the help and concern.
"Kendall?" Logan's weak voice brought Kendall out of his thoughts and he shook his head of the them.
"I'm fine Logan. I'm not the one that just fell 20 stories." Kendall said, though he saw Logan wasn't buying it, neither were James or Carlos.
"Kendall?" Another weak voice prevented any further confrontation and they all shot to Jo. Kendall lept from his seat and knelted in front of her.
"Jo. It's okay, everything's okay." He said, relief washing over him.
Jo slowly sat up, slightly pulling away from Logan. Though he still kept his arm around her comfortingly.
"Jo, are you okay?" James asked. She looked to him.
Carlos moved beside Kendall and grabbed the water he had placed on the table to hand it to her. "Do you remember anything?" Carlos asked. She took the water gratefully, then took a big gulp while trying to piece everything together. Carlos took the water when she was done and set it back on the table for her.
Jo looked at Kendall, then to James, then Carlos. She was still confused. Did she remember anything? 'I was on the roof, then I fell, then I was on the balcony. . . . .then what? Someone was talking to me, then they were talking to other people. Who was it?' She brought a hand to her head and closed her eyes, trying to gather the memories.
"It's okay Jo. Take your time." Kendall said, and he tentatively moved a hand to her knee. He made contact and she flinched a little, but not as bad as before. He retracted his hand immediately though.
The flinch made Logan automatically started rubbing her arm again and she opened her eyes, finally noticing that Logan was there and holding her. She turned and stared at him with confused eyes for a moment, then everything came rushing back. 'Logan.' "You caught me." She said surprised. Logan smiled and nodded. They were all relieved that she remembered.
"How are you feeling?" Carlos asked.
"Tired." She said with droopy eyes, she was emotionally exhausted. Then she realized that she still gripped the back of Logan's shirt. She slowly began to pull away, and Kendall took this opportunity to attempt to take her arm. She flinched away again and refastened her grip on Logan, but this time she noticed it. She looked to Kendall with confused eyes. "I-I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that."
Kendall nodded and out-stretched his hand for her to take instead. "It's okay." She tentatively moved her hand to Kendall's, but her hands started to shake and her grip on Logan tightened.
Logan rubbed her arm and moved with her towards Kendall. "It's okay Jo. You're safe. No one's gonna hurt you." He said.
"I'm right here." Kendall reassured her. She nodded and gently took Kendall's hand. Kendall was relieved, he was finally able to touch his girlfriend again. Kendall slowly moved his other hand to hers as well, then carefully moved them up her arm, then her shoulder, then around her neck, then he leaned in for a hug. Jo was shaking slightly, but she wrapped her arm around her boyfriend, still gripping Logan's shirt in the back.
The others just watched in relief that Jo was talking again. Logan started to pull away to let Jo be with Kendall.
"No." Jo said suddenly, and she let go of Kendall and put her hand on Logan's chest to stop him.
"Jo?" Logan asked, he was confused. He thought that once the shock wore off she would be able to let go of him and Kendall could take care of her. The others were just as shocked, especially Kendall.
"I. . .I'm sorry. I don't know why I. . . ." She trailed off and looked to Kendall who had confusion and hurt all across his face. "I'm so sorry Kendall I just. . . .I don't know!" She was just as confused as the rest of them. Why couldn't she go to Kendall? She knew he wouldn't hurt her, she knew she was safe. So why was she so. . . . .scared?
Kendall saw it in her eyes. She didn't mean to let go of him. She didn't mean to go back to Logan for safety. He saw that she was just as confused as the rest of them, maybe even more so. Kendall could see that it was frustrating her. His face softened. "It's okay Jo. Just take your time."
Jo felt so bad for hurting Kendall like this. And yet, he wasn't mad at her. She was thankful for that. "I don't understand. Why can't I hug you? Why can't I. . ." Then she realized the second half of this conundrum. She turned to Logan who was watching her with concerned, tired eyes. Why couldn't she let go of him?
"It's okay Jo." Logan said, then he slowly moved the arm he had around her, in front of him, and took her hand off of his chest slowly. He nodded to Kendall who then reached his arm out again. Then, slowly, he led Jo's hand to Kendall's once more. Kendall held Jo's hand and Logan kept his hand on hers as well for a moment. She nodded and Logan slowly moved his hand away. Jo still held the back of Logan's shirt, but at least she could hold Kendall's hand.
James got up then and moved to Kendall's previous spot beside Logan, letting Kendall sit beside Jo so that she wouldn't have to let go of Logan yet. Kendall sat down and interlocked their fingers, then brought his other hand so he held her hand with both of his. She relaxed and rested her head on Logan, who brought his arm back around her shoulders and began rubbing her arm comfortingly again.
"My mom is coming to pick us up." Kendall told Jo, and once she nodded, he and Logan rested their heads on the backs of the chairs and they were all silent for a while, lost in their thoughts.
Jett got up then. "I should probably find my ride too." He said, then pulled out his phone and walked a little away from them.
Jo was still trying to figure out why she couldn't let go of Logan. It's not like she had feelings for him, did she? No, she definitely loved Kendall. So why couldn't she go to him? Why would she flinch at his very touch and retreat back to Logan? Why did she feel so incredibly safe in Logan's arms and not Kendall's?
"Crazy day huh?" Carlos broke the silence, and got smirks from everyone.
"I know I won't be going on anymore roofs any time soon." Jett said as he returned to his seat putting his phone back in his pocket, and everyone chuckled.
"Yeah, I gotta say Logan, I'll never make fun of you for never taking risks again." James said and he back-handed Logan playfully and gently. But he wasn't as gentle as he thought and hit Logan's injured arm harder than he intended, which caused a wave of pain to shoot up and down his arm then reside in his shoulder.
Logan took a sharp intake of breath and squeezed his eyes shut. Everyone shot up and looked at him worriedly. "I'm sorry!" James said. "Are you okay? Of course you're not okay, I just smacked your injured shoulder. Idiot! I'm so sorry Logan!"
"James. . . .It's. . .okay." Logan said through gritted teeth. "I'll. . .be fine." James looked at him with worried, guilty eyes, and Logan offered him a weak smile.
"You're hurt." Jo realized. She watched him with eyes full of concern.
"I'll be fine." Logan repeated to Jo and rubbed her arm slightly faster to ease her worries, while still trying to regain his breath. It seemed to work and she laid back down on him, then silence fell once again.
Twenty minutes passed and Jo had fallen asleep, then finally, Mrs. Knight practically barged through the front doors.
"Mom." Kendall breathed in relief, getting her attention, and she hurried over to them as Kendall stood, then Carlos and James.
Mrs. Knight rushed over and hugged Kendall tight. "Oh baby." She said, then pulled away and held his face.
When Kendall had called her and gave her the address of the apartment building, he told her everything from Jo falling off the roof, Logan catching her, then Logan catching Jett, to Jo being in shock and Logan dislocating his shoulder.
She shifted her gaze to Carlos standing behind Kendall, then turned around to look at James. "Is everyone okay?" They all looked down, as in 'No', but they looked back up to smile and nod anyway. Her concern grew. Finally her eyes rested on Logan and Jo sitting in front of her and she knelted down. "How are you doing sweetie? Does it hurt?"
"I'll be fine." Logan said, still breathing heavily. His strength was shrinking still with each passing minute, but he tried to hide it from Mrs. Knight. He could rest once they were all back at the Palm Woods.
Mrs. Knight bought it and nodded, then turned to Jo. Logan caught her concern for her. "She snapped out of the shock thankfully. She's just resting now." Logan informed. Now that she was asleep, she wouldn't flinch at anyone else's touch, so it seemed pointless to tell Mrs. Knight about it right now.
Mrs. Knight took on a look of relief. "I called her dad on my way over here, he'll be waiting for her once we get back." She said then she stood up.
Kendall walked over and carefully touched Jo once more, luckily she didn't flinch in her sleep and he slowly began to move her with Logan's help. Kendall moved her head off of Logan and rested it on his own chest, then brought her arm over his shoulders.
Logan slowly pulled her arm that was behind his back and rested it around her stomach, then retrieved his jacket from around her. Kendall brought his arm under her legs and lifted her in one smooth motion, then Logan handed James his jacket who then covered Jo back up with it.
Mrs. Knight smiled at the display. "I'll go start the car." She said and left while fumbling with her keys.
"What about you Jett? Did you get a ride?" Carlos asked.
"I have to wait another hour 'till my agent is done his meeting." Jett answered bitterly. Carlos and James shared a look, then both looked to Kendall.
Kendall let out an annoyed sigh and rolled his eyes dramatically. "Why don't you catch a ride with us to the Palm Woods?" He asked begrudgingly.
Jett was shocked for a moment, then regained his composure. "Meh, might as well." He said faking annoyance. Truthfully he was thankful that he wouldn't be left alone in that building, but he couldn't let them know that. "I'll call my agent and tell him that he doesn't need to come afterall."
Once Jett walked out the doors towards the car with his phone, Kendall sent him a death glare and Carlos and James smirked.
Carlos and James then stood on either side of Logan, Carlos on his right and James on his left. "Do you need any help?" Carlos asked, but as he did, Logan was already attempting to stand.
With his now free arm, Logan pushed on the metal arm of the chair to stand up, it taking more effort than it normally would. He slowly stood, then waited there for a moment to catch his breath, still leaning on the chair. Then he lightly pushed off the chair and took a step forward.
His foot made contact with the ground but it couldn't hold his weight and Logan fell.
"Logan!" Kendall, James and Carlos called. James caught him but Logan's shoulder hit James' body hard, igniting the pain again.
James guided him to the floor and Logan laid in his arms squeezing his eyes shut. His breathing accelerated but it seemed like no air was entering his lungs. "Logan, can you hear me?" James asked panicking.
"Logan?" Carlos said worriedly.
Logan fought his hardest against the pain. But he just couldn't seem to regulate his breathing, and his friends' voices started to sound muffled. He opened eyes to see James over him. Carlos was crouched beside him and Kendall was leering over him while still carrying Jo.
Logan tried to fight against it, but his vision began to darken. "Logan!" He could only vaguely hear his friends calling him. His eyes closed, and he passed out.
"Waking up, in the dark, I can feel you in my sleep. In your arms I feel you breath into me." - 'Awake and Alive by Skillet
