Okay. So I had to do a little more research for this chapter. If there's anything wrong I apologize, I am not a doctor. lolz. I am also sorry if there's any errors I missed. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! :)

"What exactly is a blood clot?" Kendall asked.

"It's when blood hardens. A blood clot is formed when blood cells lump together with fibrin, which is a stretchy protein that acts kind of like a glue," Dr. Thompson answered.

"When we get a cut we get small blood clots that help heal those wounds and our body dissolves them when we don't need them any more," Logan added.

"That's correct."

"So why is James' blood clot serious if they just go away?" Carlos asked.

"Since the blood is trapped and the clot forms, it creates pressure. That pressure can increase quickly in that space. When that happens, it pushes the clot against the brain and can cause a significant amount of damage," Dr. Thompson told them.

"I told you I killed him," Katie said as she started crying again.

"Katie," Kendall said, but she ignored him.

"Katie?" Dr. Thompson tried.

Katie looked at him and he gave her a small smile.

"Mr. Diamond is very much alive, body and mind."

"B-but you just said-"

"I said it could cause significant damage. Luckily, we got to it in time."

Everyone sighed in relief.

"Do you know what caused the blood clot?" Jo asked.

"Yes," Dr. Thompson answered. "James suffered trauma to the temporal bone."

"Ummm...what bone is that?" Camille asked.

"It's the one that's on the side of your head above your ear. It's thinner than the other skull bones so it's easier to damage," Logan said.

"It is also the location of the middle meningeal artery that runs just beneath that bone," Dr. Thompson added. "Fracturing that bone comes with tearing that artery and can lead to an epidural hematoma, which is what happened."

"But he's going to be okay, right?" Katie asked.

"I think so. We're getting ready to move him into his room, but we want to keep an eye on him for another 10-20 minutes before we allow any visitors. Just to make sure everything is okay and nothing has changed."

"Okay," Kendall said. "How about we all go down to the cafeteria?"

"Yeah," Carlos agreed. "I'm starving."

Everyone turned and looked at him.

"What?" he asked. "I'm hungry now. I wasn't hungry before, I was too worried about James. Now that I know he's okay, I want food."

"Let's go, Carlos," Katie said taking his and laughing.

"Before you go, I want to tell you James is, how do I put this?" Dr, Thompson started. "Well, he's messed up."

"Dr. Thompson," a nurse said, getting his attention. "We need you, a new patient was just rushed in."

"Okay," he said. He turned back to the group, before walking off. "I'll see you guys soon."

"What did he mean by he's messed up?" Carlos asked after they sat down at a table in the cafeteria with their food.

"He means James' face is messed up," Logan said.

"Oh boy," said Kendall. "You know what this means? The Face is messed up, James is going to freak."

"I don't think he will."

Everyone looked at Camille like she lost her mind.

"I'm serious, James had to of known something was going to happen to him when he saved Katie. Maybe James isn't as shallow as everyone thinks."

"He's not," Katie whispered. "We've all seen how sweet and caring James can be, well not so much Jo and Cami. James used to help Kendall sing me to sleep when he would spend the night. There was even a few times where he did it himself because Kendall was sleeping."

"Really?" Kendall asked.

Katie nodded at her brother. "He still does."

"How come I never knew about this?" he asked her.

"We were afraid you would get suspicious and mad."

"I think before now I would have been really mad. I'm still trying to get used to all this. Part of me really doesn't like it," Kendall told her. "But I can see how much he means to you and he's gotta care about you. I mean, he got hit by a car for you."

"Like I did for Kendall," Carlos said grinning.

"Yeah, what is it with the BTR boys getting hit by cars?" Jo asked.

"Carlos' was an accident," Logan said. "James willingly threw himself in front of that car."

"Don't remind me," Katie said.

"Katie," Camille said "You should feel honored that James loves you enough to do something like that."

"Let me just add that this still kind of bothers me," Kendall said, stabbing his food. "You, James and I are having a serious talk."

"I am. I just hate thinking about what happened and the fact that he's in a hospital," Katie said, ignoring her brother.

"It'll be fine, Kit-Kat," Carlos said, holding her hand. "The important thing is, is that he's okay."

"I know," she replied with a small smile.

"Alright," Logan said. "It's been half an hour, who's ready to go see James?"

"We all are," Kendall said as they got up.

Two minutes later, they were back in the special waiting room.

"Ah. You guys are back," Dr. Thompson said as he approached them.

"Yup. How's James?" Katie asked.

"He's looking good. Nothing seems to have changed."

"Has he woken up yet?" Jo asked.

"I'm afraid not," he answered. "We're not exactly sure when he'll wake up. It could be minutes or days."

"No weeks, months or years?" Carlos asked.

"No, it's not that severe," he said.

"That's a relief," Logan said.

"You guys can head in there."

"Thanks," Katie said as Dr, Thompson walked away.

Kendall grabbed Katie's hand and pulled her into James' room.

"Look at him," Katie said with her voice cracking. She walked over to him and held his hand.

"I wonder what he's gonna say when he finds out that not only did his face get messed up, but they had to shave some of his hair to do the surgery," said Carlos.

"Poor guy," Camille said.

I wonder is he can hear us."

"It's a possibility, Kendall," Logan said. "Ask him a question."

"Hey, James," Carlos said, taking James' other hand and grinning. "I'm gonna ask you something and if the answer is yes, squeeze my hand. Do you luuurrrvvveee Katie?"

"Carlos!" Katie yelled.

Carlos looked up with a huge smile. "He squeezed my hand!"

"What!" Kendall yelled.

Ignoring Kendall, Logan turned to Carlos and asked "Are you sure?"

"Yes, come try," Carlos answered, pulling Logan over and shoving his hand into James'.

"Umm...okay.. Hey, buddy. Can you hear me?" Logan asked him.

"Well?" Jo asked.

Logan looked up, smiling about as big as Carlos did. "He squeezed my hand."

"That's great," Katie said, smiling sadly.

"Then why aren't you happy?" Camille asked her.

"Because, I should be the one in the bed, not James," she answered.

"Don't say that. Ever," said a raspy voice.

Now I wonder who could have said that :p hehe. Don't you just love Kendall's reactions? I know I do. :D I really hope you guys liked this. Let me know what you think. :)
