Okay. Here's the next chapter. I had to do some research for the head injury stuff. I'm sorry if any of it's wrong. Some of it is kind of confusing. Thanks again to everyone who has reviewed and added this to their favorites and alerts. I wanna give a shout out to Science-Fantasy93. If you haven't read her stories, shame on you! Her story "The DLS-S Cruise" is AH-MAZING. If you haven't started reading it yet, go read it! I'm sorry for any errors I may have missed. Now, onto the story! :)

Logan pulled into an empty space in the ER parking lot, with Jo parking in the space next to him. Katie unbuckled her seat belt and jumped out of the car, running towards the entrance.

"Katie!" Kendall yelled. "Wait for us!"

"Well, hurry up!" she shouted back irritated.

They all ran towards her and Carlos grabbed her hand. "Lets go see your boyfriend, Kit-Kat."

"Carlos," Kendall warned.

"Shut up, Kendall. Now is not the time," Katie said as she glared at her brother and pulled Carlos into the hospital.

Everyone shared a look and then followed after them.

Logan and Katie walked over to the nurse's station.

"Hi, Miranda," Logan said, reading the nurse's name tag. "Our friend was brought in maybe about 15 minutes ago."

"Okay. What's your friends's name?" she asked.

"James Diamond," Katie answered.

"Ah. Here it is. He was just rushed into surgery about 2 minutes ago. They already have a recovery room prepared for him and there is a special waiting room. Would you like to wait there?"

"Yes, please," Logan answered.

"Okay. Just follow me," she said with a smile as she led everyone.

"I hope it's not like the special waiting room that mean producer lady took us to," Carlos whispered to Kendall.

"It's not gonna be like that, Carlos," Kendall chuckled.

"Alright, here you are. James' room is right there," she said and pointed to the room right across the hall. "He could be insurgery for a while though. If you need anything, come find me."

"Okay. Thank you," Katie said with a small smile.

Miranda nodded and headed back to the nurse's station.

An hour later and they were still waiting. Katie was getting impatient and even more upset.

"I can't believe needed to have surgery," Camille said sadly.

"James' isn't gonna be happy about that," Jo chuckled.

"He's gonna freak," Kendall laughed.

Katie glared at them. "How can you be laughing right now? He may not even wake up. What if he dies in there? What if healready died?"

"Katie, we're just trying to make the situation lighter and stay positive. James is a fighter, always has been. He'll pull through,"he told his sister.

"You don't know that -"

"Sweetie, you gotta stop," Camille said. "I know you're worried, we all are. I can still see in your eyes that you blame yourself, James wouldn't want that. When he wakes up, don't look at me like that. When he wakes up, he's going to tell you what we'vebeen telling you. None of this is your fault."

Katie started crying. "I don't want him in there. I want him here. I want him to wrap his arms around me and tell me everything is going to be okay."

"Oh sweetheart, come here," Logan said as he pulled Katie into a hug.

Kendall watched as his sister sobbed in his best friend's arms. He felt helpless. He hated seeing his sister like this, he'd never admit it, but it made him want to cry.

"Katie," Kendall said softly.

She turned to look at him with red, puffy eyes and cheeks. "Yeah?" she sniffled.

"Come here."

Katie walked to her brother and he pulled her into his lap.

"I may not be James," he said as he wrapped his arms around her. "But I'm gonna wrap my arms around you and tell you everything is going to be okay."

Jo watched her boyfriend in admiration. He was trying so hard to stay strong for his little sister and friends. He may have been pretty good at hiding his emotions when he felt he had to, but she could see the tears in his eyes.

"You're my little sister," he continued with his voice cracking a little. "I'm not exactly sure how I feel about your feelings towards James, but I will always be here for you and I will never stop loving you. No matter what."

"Kendall," Katie cried as she wrapped her arms around him. "I love you, big brother."

"I love you too, baby sister."

Carlos and Logan watched, shocked that Kendall had started crying with his sister. He hadn't cried in years.

"Hi, I'm assuming you're here for James Diamond?" a voice asked.

All eyes turned and looked at the man standing in front of them.

"I'm sorry for interrupting," he said. "I'm Dr. Thompson."

"Oh. No, it's fine," Logan said. "Yes, we're here for James."

"What's wrong with him?" Katie as as she sniffled.

"It seems he had a depressed skull fracture."

"What's that?" Camille asked.

"It means a piece of skull is pushed toward the inside of the skull. Think of pressing in on a ping pong ball," he informed them.

"Hence why he needed surgery," Logan said. "Is that all?"

"I'm afraid not," Dr. Thompson said. " The fracture caused an Epidural Hematoma."

Logan paled.

"Logan? You okay, buddy?" Kendall asked.

"A epidural whatever he just said, isn't good is it?" Jo asked.

Logan shook his head.

"What is it?" Carlos asked Dr. Thompson.

"Okay. One of the lining membranes that covers the brain is called a dura. It attaches at the suture lines where the bones come together. If the head trauma is epidural, which means outside, the blood is trapped in a small area and can cause a hematoma to form," he answered.

Everyone, but Logan was still confused as to what exactly that meant.

"It's a blood clot," Logan choked out.

Poor James. :( I just love Katie and Kendall's relationship, so I had to squeeze a sibling moment in there. :) Again, I'm sorry if anything is wrong and I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Tell me what you think.
