"Pain is temporary. It may only last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but finally it will subside and something else will take over… Happiness and when you finally feel that happiness you know you finally overcame the pain."
Overcome The Pain
Logan's POV
He slowly regained consciousness. He opened his eyes then shut them again tightly the lights above him burned his pupils, finally he opened them again blinked a few times, then looked around the white room. Logan then realized after several minutes he was in the hospital. What happened he thought when he saw a cast on his shin and his head and ribs ached? Then like a fist punching him in the stomach, he remembered. Laughter turned into screams as they saw the car coming at them the last thing he remembered was his head meeting the steering wheel then blackness.
Logan heard the door to his room open and a woman with auburn hair that wasup in a bun and had on Winnie the Pooh scrubs, she jumped slightly when she sawhim staring at her but then smiled.
"Welcome back. Let me go get the doctor," she said, walking out of the room quickly.
He groaned lightly after being awake for a few moments his whole body was inpain, but then he remembered his friends they were in the car with him hehoped they were okay.
The door opening again interrupted his thoughts.
"Hello Logan," the gray haired man smiled. "I'm Doctor Grayson and this is myintern Krisalyn were going to ask you a few questions, alright?"
Logan nodded. He was slightly confused why they were asking him questions they only do that with people who just came out of a comatose state, and he couldn't have just gotten out of a coma its only been a few hours right? He thought.
"Alright, what's your full name?"
"Logan Phillip Mitchell" he said.
"Where were you born?"
"St. Cloud, Minnesota."
"Do you remember what happened?"
"Yes my friends and I were driving and we crashed the car."
"Okay when is your birthday and how old are you?"
"September fourteenth 1993, and I'm sixteen years old. Why are you asking me questions don't you only do this when patients are in a comatose state" he asked confused.
Krisalyn gave the doctor a worried look.
"Well Logan, when you were in the car accident. Your airbag didn't deploy intime and her head slammed into the window then the steering wheel and your brain hit the back of your skull which caused a brain edema which is were the brain swells and causes intracellular pressure causing the blood to stop flowing into the brain, you fell into a coma about 6 weeks ago," she said smiling sympathetically.
Logan looked at them in disbelief for once he was speechless.
"I know it's hard to hear Logan but after asking you some questions you donot have memory loss which is good but we need to ran a few more tests but so farso good. Your injuries are still pretty bad, which is to be expected."
"Are my friends ok?" he asked.
"Yes they're well" he smiled.
Logan nodded, what are you supposed to do in this situation, how are you supposed to react when someone tells you you have been in a coma for a month, you will never get that part of you life back. He missed everything recording songs, the hockey game they were supposed to go to, and his and Bailey's oneyear anniversary, that sent a dagger through his chest he never missed anything or forgot anything and he missed one of the most important days, he left her to spend it alone, he left his friends wondering if there best friend will ever wake up, and he left his parents wondering why they haven't heard from him, he laid back wishing it everything was just a dream.
*End Logan's POV*
Bailey and Carlos stared at Brooke in disbelief.
"What do you mean he's awake?" Carlos asked.
"He's mot in a coma anymore sweetie," Brooke smiled.
"I have to go tell the guys," he said excitedly running out of the room.
Brooke smiled then turned her attention toward Bailey who still stood there in disbelief. Before she could say anything Bailey engulfed her in a hug, tears welled in her eyes.
"He's awake," she smiled hugging her friend tears streaming down her face.
"Come on" she said pulling Brooke out of the room.
Mrs. Knight the guys and there girlfriends ran into the hospital Logan'sparents in tow.
Lilly walked up to the front desk.
"Excuse me," she said to the lady who was on the phone "EXCUSE ME," she said louder.
"Mrs. Please hold on," the nurse said turning back to the phone.
Lilly sighed. "Lilly don't worry," Mrs. Knight smiled.
Were going to miss our flight she said checking her watch,
"Don't worry sweetie, we'll make it," Eric smiled.
"Excuse me, did you just say your leaving today after your only son woke up from a coma? Are you telling me that you can't stop thinking about yourselves for one minute and think about your son who was lying in a hospital bed with a fifty percent chance of waking up and he woke up do you people even care?" Mrs. Knight practically yelled
"You have no right to yell at us," Lilly snarled.
"Oh I'm sorry did I pinch a nerve? Well listen here you stuck up piece of garbage!"
"Do not call my wife that," Eric glared.
The kids stood in complete and utter shock at Mrs. Knight.
"Mom?" Kendall whispered.
Stay out of this sweetie," Mrs. Knight said shooting him a look.
"Sorry mommy," he . Knight continued, "You two are the worst parents ever, he already had a horrible set he doesn't need another one, he loves you. I don't understand why but he does. He tries to get noticed by you but you don't give him attention, you have never been there for him," she said clenching her fists in frustration.
"Do not tell me that I am a horrible parent, we love him to, do not dare tell me we haven't been there for him we were there from when he was nine to when he was sixteen," She glared.
"Then tell me where you were for his first hockey game, where you were for the first time he got sent to the hospital, AND what about you Eric where were you when he needed girl advice or help on his homework? Huh? Tell me that you may have been his parents for eight years but you have know idea what this boy has gone through. He's been hurt so badly no child should go through what he went through, you weren't there when he had nightmares every night and his friends had to comfort him. He needed you guys and you never showed up. He has a real family now," Mrs. Knight glared folding her arms.
Lilly was angry as was Eric.
"We don't have to take this, Logan is our son by law they told us we had to take care of him and we did he's a big boy he can handle it," Eric said.
The group stared in shock at what he said, Kendall clenched his fist but Zoëy held his hand so he would not do anything stupid.
"Then leave," Bailey glared.
He rolled his eyes at her. "Listen Challen you do not know us, thank you for your advice but we will do our parenting the way we want to. He does not need us. He has you people to take care of him.
"Come on sweetheart let's go. Tell Logan hello," Lilly said turning on herheal and walking away Eric followed behind her.
The family watched them walk out the door; Mrs. Knight sat down and rubbed her face.
"Mom, its ok you did what you could, you can't get it through there thick heads there stupid people and don't deserve Logan," he said
She smiled kissed his cheek, "I know dear thank you now we just have to tell him."
"I will," Bailey said speaking up.
All eyes went to her. "You don't have to, we will," James said."I want to. If that's okay?" she smiled slightly.
They nodded and all sat in silence still shocked at what happens moments ago.
Doctor Grayson walked into the waiting room.
Mrs. Knight he smiled.
The group stood up abruptly when the heard his voice.
"Hi doctor Grayson" she smiled.
"How is he?" Carlos asked.
"He is good, we ran some tests and everything looks good, we told him what happen and he was in shock so give him a little time," he smiled.
"Can we see him?" Kendall asked.
"Yes but only three in the room we don't want to overwhelm him," he said.
They nodded and he walked off, they stood there for a moment.
"You guys go" Aubrey nudged them.
They glanced at Bailey who smiled, the three walked to the elevator and made there way to Logan's room.
Logan's/ the Guy's POV
He laid there eyes closed, he heard the door open and assumed it was a doctor so he keep them closed, until he heard a familiar voice.
"I thought he wasn't in a coma anymore" he heard Carlos whisper
"Dude he's just sleeping" James said.
"What if he's not?" Carlos said.
"He is" Kendall smiled.
Logan opened his eyes, turned his head toward his friends, and smiled brightly.
Carlos smiled brightly "You're alive!" he exclaimed hugging Logan, tears in his eyes that were now falling.
His other friends did the same, tears filling their eyes, they sat in chairs surrounding there friend.
"How 'ya feelin'?" James asked.
"I'm ok, shocked I guess is a good word. How are you guys and Bailey and everyone else?" he asked
"Were good much better now, Bay's been okay she took it hard. Well we all did though, were just glad your back" Kendall smiled.
"So am I, it was weird I never thought this would ever happen, you know to me at least. I guess I'm glad it was me rather than you guy's," he said looking down at his hands.
The boys sat staring at him. "Logie know one expects this to happen to them, and we rather it happened to us. Actually I rather of it not happened at all!" Kendall said with a tinge of anger.
James and Carlos nodded. "We're just glad your okay buddy" James said patting his shoulder.
Logan smiled, "Sorry I had to put you through all of this, I wish it never even happened, what did I miss while I was out? Did you guys get hurt badly? He asked.
"One do not be sorry," Carlos smiled.
"Two we wish it never happened either," Kendall said
"And three, you didn't miss too much but Gustavo kind of made us finish the album," James frowned.
"I would of figured as much, I understand," he smiled.
"Oh good we thought you were going to be mad," Carlos laughed.
"When do I ever get mad?" Logan smiled.
"Well there was that one time when you attacked James and almost punched him, that was funny," Carlos smiled reminiscing on the moment.
"How exactly was that funny?" James asked shaking his head.
I don't know it just was," Carlos shrugged.
"You… Carlos… you know I don't even know what to say," James smiled, shrugging.
Logan laughed, as did Kendall.
"So what else did I miss?" Logan asked.
"Well we visited you a lot, and there was a really good hockey game on the other night, we recorded it," Kendall smiled.
"Oh and you missed when Katie 'accidentally' pushed Mr. Bitters into thepool, that was funny," Carlos smiled.
"Oh and when Carlos tried eating twenty corn dogs in two minutes," James laughed.
"That was awesome!" Carlos exclaimed. "Even though I threw up"
The boys laughed and talked for a while, Logan smiled he had amazing friendsand was happy they were okay and making him feel better.
*End POV* ***
The guys walked out of his room and out to the waiting room.
"How is he?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"He's okay," James smiled.
"Doing better though, it seems," Carlos said sitting down next to Brooke.
"You can go see him," Kendall said taking his seat next to Zoëy.
"Go ahead Bailey we'll wait," Aubrey smiled.
"Are you sure we can all go," she said.
"Go," Zoëy smiled.
Bailey stood up and walked slowly to the door down the hallway, with her shaking hand she reached for the doorknob and opened the door.
*Logan's POV*
When his friends left he snuggled under the blankets. He was thankful to have such amazing best friends and was relieved they were okay. He was snapped out of his thoughts of the door opening once again. The sight in front of him made him smile, Bailey stood at the other end of the room looking straight into his brown eyes.
*Regular POV*
Bailey looked at him tears in her eyes she ran over and hugged him tightly trying not to
hurt him. Logan hugged her back just as tight trying not to hurt himself. Tears pooled out of her eyes, she was finally getting to see her boyfriend awake after a month.
She sat down next to him and wiped her eyes; he lifted his hand and wiped the reaming streaks away.
"How are you?" she asked taking his hand.
"I'm good, a little surprised" he said.
She nodded. "I understand it would be surprising."
"Are you okay?" he asked.
She let out a small laugh. "Logan you're the one in the hospital and you're asking if I'm okay?"
He smiled. "Well then let me rephrase that, how are you?"
"I'm much better now," she said smiling and laughing.
"I'm sorry for putting you thorough all this," he frowned.
She ran a hand through his hair. "Don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault."
"I know but I feel like there was someway I could have prevented it," he said.
"You have know idea how many times I heard that come out of Kendall, James and Carlos's mouths. There was no way you guys could have prevented it, it was the guy who was driving on the wrong side of the roads fault" she said shaking her head.
"I know. you're right," he said.
"Of course I am" she exclaimed.
He laughed.
"I want to give you a present," she picking something off the ground. "Since I couldn't on our anniversary."
She picked up a scrapbook and handed it to him.
"I made it," she smiled.
As he flipped through it, he frowned.
"Do you not like it?" she asked looking at the ground.
"No, I love it," he smiled taking her hand again.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"It's just, I missed it our anniversary," he said sadly.
"Logan, you're her now and that's all that matters," she said.
He nodded. "I'll make it up to you."
She smiled. "You don't have to."
"I want to."
"Okay," she nodded.
Thank you for my present, I love it," he exclaimed
"Your welcome, I'm glad," she smiled kissing him and for the first time in a month she felt him kiss back.
"So are my parents here?" he asked.
She totally forgot about the previous few hours it made her blood boil just thinking of it, and now she had to break it to Logan.
"No," she frowned.
"Where are they?" he asked.
She sucked in a deep breath and told him everything she left out the part about his father saying he was their son by law and he could take care of himself.
Once she was finished the tiny room fell silent all she could seem to hear was the heart monitor beeping, everything else was silent even the cars outside.
"Logan I'm sorry," she whispered breaking the eerie silence.
"I don't know what to say," he said.
"You don't have to say anything, they are horrible people and don't deserve you," she said hugging him.
"I just wish for, once I had parents who cared," he said sadly
Tears welled in Bailey's eyes once again.
"You have something better. You have best friends who are practically brothers who care, Mrs. Knight cares, Katie cares, my friends care, and I care Logie."
He simply nodded, "I know."
"Are you okay?" she questioned.
"I'm good," he said.
"Okay. I'm going to let everyone else have a chance to say hi. I'll be back," she smiled kissing him. He smiled and nodded.
Once she left, Logan let the tears he was holding back fall, Bailey was right but it still hurt.
Everyone visited him, Kendall James and Carlos went back to make sure he was okay after what Bailey told the friends.
"Hey," Kendall smiled walking into the room the other two in tow.
"Hey guys," Logan smiled wiping is eye making sure the tears were gone.
However, the boys were smart they new he had been crying.
"What's wrong?" James asked sitting down.
"I'm fine, it's nothing," he said.
"Logie," Kendall chided.
The smaller boy sighed. "Just my parents."
"Listen you parents are jerks, you have us Logie, who cares about them?" Kendall said.
"They don't mean to," he said.
"Why are you defending them, they pretty much said they didn't want you" James exclaimed angrily.
"James," Carlos said putting a hand on his shoulder.
Sorry Logie it's just you shouldn't defend them, we're your real family," James smiled.
"It's fine I know you guys are right, but for once I want parents who care," Logan said feeling the tears in his eyes.
Kendall felt anger rush through him he hated his parents for what they had done to him; he pulled his friend into a hug.
"We're your family Logan, we care," Kendall said.
Logan nodded as his other friends hugged him.
"Thanks guys" he smiled.
"No problem that's what we do," Carlos smiled.
The boys left a few hours after, to let Logan sleep.
As he laid there thinking about the day he had, he was content. He may not of had parents who loved him, but instead a family who loved him and cared for him. Finally he had people who cared and that was that made the pain go away.
