Here's the next chapter. Thanks for the reviews and favorites, you guys are awesome! :) You'll be happy to know Kendall and Katie's talk is in this chapter. Sorry for errors I may have missed and sorry if they're a little OOC. I don't think anyone would be acting exactly like themselves in this situation. Now, onto the story!

Katie's head snapped up and her eyes locked on James' hazel ones.

"You're awake!" she cried, throwing her arms around him.

"Easy," he grunted, but returned her hug.

"You can let go now," Kendall said, watching them hold each other for what seemed like hours.

"Kendall," Jo warned. "Why can't you leave them be?"

"I still don't like it," he mumbled.

Katie rolled her eyes and pulled away from James, who was confused. Ignoring what Kendall was going on about for the moment, he turned his attention to Katie.

"Why would you say that?" he asked her.

"Say what?" she asked confused.

"That you should be in this bed and not me."

"Because I should be," she answered looking down.

James grabbed her face and made her look at him. "Don't. Yeah, it sucks that I'm here, but I wouldn't change anything."

"But -"

"Let me finish," he said sternly.

"Okay."

"If you were the one in this bed, we would all be a mess. I can't stand to see you hurt, I wasn't gonna let it happen. Plus how would it look to Kendall if I let his little sister get hit by a car?"

"I'd have pummeled you," Kendall said.

"See? Besides who knows how hurt you would have been."

"Actually, because Katie is so tiny she probably would have been severely hurt, possibly even killed," Logan said.

"R-really?" she asked.

"Mhm. Your chances wouldn't of been good, sweetheart."

"Aww. James is a hero," said Camille with a smile.

"You hear that, Kendall? James is a hero," Jo said, poking him in his ribs.

"I wouldn't go that far," James said modestly.

"James Diamond is being modest? Alert the presses!" Camille teased. "I guess what Katie said was true."

"What did she say?" asked James with a grin.

"N-nothing!" she said. "I didn't say anything."

"Yes you did," Jo piped.

"Shut up!" Katie hissed.

Camille laughed and said, "She said you weren't that shallow and that you were sweet and caring."

"Cami!" she yelled. She looked at James who had a wolfish smile.

"Yup," Kendall said. "She even told us all about how you go into her room at night."

"W-what?" James' smile disappeared and he paled.

"Kendall!" Katie yelled.

"Mhm. Wanna tell me why you've been going in there?"

"Seriously? I told you wh-"

"Katie," Kendall warned his sister.

"I, um, was singing to her," James gulped.

"Is that all you were doing?" Kendall said, trying to intimidate him.

"Y-yes. I-I would never -"

"Mhm," he said. "Well, why don't you guys stay here and hang with James for a little bit."

"Where are you -" Jo tried to ask.

"Katie, come take a walk with me."

She looked up at her brother with wide eyes. "N-now?"

"Yes," he said sternly. "Now."

Katie nodded and scurried off into the hall with Kendall following behind her. He threw one last look and James before he walked out.

"Well," James said nervously. "That was interesting. I'm gonna die, right?"

The others shrugged and he fell back against his pillow.

Katie and Kendall sat in the special waiting room.

"What did you wanna talk to me about?" she asked.

"You know what I wanna talk about. I told you we were gonna have this talk."

"Yeah, but is now really the right time?"

"I think right now is the perfect time," he said.

"Okay."

"Great. I wanna know everything that happened today. I have concerns about this, Katie. What happens if he hurts you? I lose one of my best friends and the band."

"James said you would say that. He kinda had the same concerns."

"What exactly did he say to you?"

"That he loves me, but you're his best friend and he doesn't want to make things weird between you guys."

"What did you say to him after he said that?"

"That you love me and would want me to be happy, even if it was with James," she said, looking into his eyes. "That you would rather have your baby sister with someone you trust rather than some guy who could be a creeper."

Kendall nodded. "Then what happened?"

"He said that you weren't going to be happy about it. Then pretty much said what you said. If we break up, you side with me, your friendship is lost and the band is done. I told him he was right. He said we would figure it out and that we could talk to you, but I told him it didn't matter. If we broke up everything you guys worked so hard for would be flushed down the toilet and I wasn't gonna let that happen."

"Is that when the accident happened?" he asked.

"Pretty much."

"Both of you were right though."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I'm still kind of mad about this. It's definitely gonna take some getting used to. I'm really worried about the possibility of our friendship and the band."

"I know," Katie said quietly.

"But," Kendall said, taking her hand. "Most of all, I worry about you. I don't wanna see you get hurt. I love you so much, baby sister."

"I love you too," she smiled.

"I can see you guys being apart is hurting you. I just want what's best for you, for the both of you. So if being together is what's best, then I guess I'll allow it."

"You'll allow it?" Katie asked, slightly irritated.

"Katie, don't start," Kendall said firmly. "I may not be Dad, but I'm the man of this family. So if James wants to date you, he comes through me first."

"Whatever. Anything else?"

"How did this all start? Today, I mean."

"I kissed him and sort of ran away after," she said.

"You kissed him and ran?" he asked.

Katie nodded. "Yup."

"Why?"

"We were arguing before that. It got kind of heated, he made me so mad."

"So you kissed him?" Kendall asked, confused.

"Yeah, then once I realized what I did, I took off like a scared rabbit."

"You're one of a kind, Katie," he chuckled.

"I know," she smiled.

"Alright, let's head back to the room."

"We're done?"

"Yup," Kendall said, his face turning serious. "I think it's time James and I had a little talk."

Uh-Oh James. I hope you guys liked this chapter. Sorry if Kendall and Katie's talk wasn't how you were expecting it to be. I figured given the circumstances he would be a little less protective. I mean, his best friend did save his sister. He's seen how much he loves her, but he's still not exactly okay with it. Let me know what you think. :)
