"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it"-J.K. Rowling
Kendall's eyes widened at his mothers words. He felt as if the plain whitewalls were closing in on him, he was speechless. His brother, the boy he hasknown for nine and a half years, his best friend was lying in a coma.
"Is he going to be ok?" He whispered sadly.
"The doctor said he has a fifty percent chance of survival. They also told mehe had a concussion which caused a brain bleed, called a brain edema," shesadly, looking at the pain in her sons eyes.
He felt numb, he still couldn't wrap his brain around it. For a moment, arush of guilt surged through him, they shouldn't of gone out, they should oflistened to him, he should of offered to drive. He did not do his job, he did notprotect Logan like he promised to after he told them about his past he failedand that was the worst part.
His mother leaned down to kiss her son's forehead, "I'll be right back okay?"
He nodded, staring sadly at his hands.
She walked out of the room, going to the cafeteria for some coffee when shesaw the four girls running towards her.
"Hello girls," she smiled, giving them all hugging them.
"What happened?" Zoëy asked.
"The boys were in a car accident; they got hit head on by a drunkdriver and spun into a median. Kendall, James, and Carlos have minor injures,but Logan is in a coma. He's in the worst condition because his airbag didn'tdeploy on time," she said, her eyes darting to Bailey's.
Bailey's world came crashing down. She fell into a nearby chair and startedsobbing, her friends hugged her tightly, whispering words of comfort to theirfriend.
"Is he going to be ok?" she choked out.
"He has a fifty percent chance of survival."
"Can we see them?" She asked, looking up from her hands
Mrs. Knight nodded and told the girls the room numbers. They stood in frontof the doors afraid what they will see on the other side.
Zoëy walked into Kendall's room.
"Hey" she said running over to the bed, hugging him carefully, and giving hima kiss. He smiled, and held her tightly
"Hey sweetie" he said whispered.
"Are you ok, you scared the crap out of me!" she said.
"Yeah, I'm good."
"Don't you ever scare me like that again!" She said, punching his arm.
"Hey don't punch the ill" he said rubbing his arm.
"Your mom told me what happened to Logan, It'll be ok" She said, taking hishand.
"What if it's not, what if something happens to him?" He said sadly.
"Don't think like that it'll be okay. You have to be strong, for him," shesaid.
"Your right, thank you" he smiled kissing her.
"Your welcome" she said, pressing her forehead against his.
Aubrey walked into James' room, and seeing him looking at himself in amirror, for some reason made her smile.
"Hello handsome," she smiled leaning against the wall.
He looked up abruptly and smiled, "Hey beautiful"
She walked over and hugged him. "Are you ok?" she asked, kissing him.
"I guess, except my hair is a mess and my face is ruined because of thisblack eye," he said angrily.
She rolled her eyes, "You look fine."
He sighed "I guess, have you heard anything on Carlos, Logan, or Kendall?" he asked.
"Well Carlos and Kendall are good, but Logan is in a coma. He has a fiftypercent chance of survival," she said wringing her hands.
His eyes widened, this could not be happing, not to Logan, not to the boywhose been through so much all ready. James rarely cried but after hearing this, hefelt the warm liquid build up in his eyes.
Aubrey hugged him tightly, "It'll be ok," she whispered. James could only hugher back and try not to let the tears fall.
Brooke walked into Carlos's room, he lay tangled in the white sheets soundasleep.
She stood in the doorway, staring at her boyfriend of ten months. She lookedaround the white room; she had hated hospitals ever since she was a littlegirl. She hated them because these white walls took away her parents so long ago andmade her, and her 3 older brothers go and live with her estranged aunt.
She tucked her long black hair behind her ears and sat on a chair next toCarlos's bed. She knew she shouldn't worry, he was fine, but they said thesame thing about her dad and he was taken away from her, all the memories floodedback she put her head in her hands and started to cry.
Carlos woke up and rubbed his eyes. He heard a strange noise and jumpedslightly when he saw someone next to his bed. He then noticed it was Brooke.
He frowned slightly when he saw her shaking slightly; she was either cold orcrying. He tapped her lightly on the head. Her head shot up and sawhis warm brown eyes looking into her forest green ones.
She quickly wiped her eyes and put on a smile. "Hey you're up!" She saidhugging him carefully.
He looked at her skeptically. "Were you crying?" he asked, taking her hand.
"N-n-no" she stuttered
"You're lying" he said in a singsong voice poking her in the stomach "What'swrong? He asked.
She laughed slightly, "It's just my parents died in a car crash and they saidmy dad would be fine, and then he died, and I'm scared!" She cried. "I know it's stupid and I'm over reacting but I can't help it."
"Brooky, I'm okay, don't worry. You're going to be stuck with me for a longtime," he smiled pulling her into a kiss.
"I'm okay with being stuck with you," she laughed.
"I'm also scared for Bailey, I mean Logan may never wake up," she frowned.
Carlos's eyes widened "Wait a second what do you mean he may never wake up?"His heart was increasing in speed.
"Logan is in a coma and has a fifty percent chance of survival, no one toldyou?" she asked.
"No, no, no this can't be happening!" He said angrily. "He has to wake up, hehas to," he said.
"Carlos calm down, its ok," she said hugging him tightly."
Tears welled in his eyes. "This can't be happening," he whispered, feeling as if their worlds were crashing down around them.
Bailey's hand was shaking as she reached for the doorknob, tears were alreadyfalling down her cheeks, and she took in a deep shaky breath and walked intothe semi -lighted room, and almost collapsed to the floor, there in front ofher lay Logan.
Two IV's were hooked up to him, as was a heart monitor and many other typesof machines. He had his head wrapped in gauze and some type of device attachedto his head, and a cast on his leg. She walked over carefully, stood, and staredat him, her body shaking from crying, all she could do was stare.
After what felt like an eternity she took his hand and kissed him on thelips, then sat down next to him. It look as if was sleeping and could wake up atany second, but, unfortunately that was not the case. He was in a coma and may ormay not wake up.
"Logan," she said, her voice cracking. "You probably can't hear me, but I loveyou, please you have to wake up, not only for me but for your friends they need you. Ineed you," she cried.
She's never felt like this about anyone, she built a wall around her heart notletting anyone in, she was the shy girl from Wisconsin who only talked to herthree best friends, but when she got to LA it was going to be different. Itwas here she met Logan, and he broke that wall down. Everything was finallyfalling into place, then this happened and it shattered everything into a million littlepieces. Whether they could be glued back together, she didn't know.
She sighed and kissed his cheek, "Happy anniversary," she whispered. Withthat, she put her head in her hands and started to cry. Nothing will ever bethe same.
