Chapter 7! :) I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but oh well. Sorry for any errors and I hope you guys enjoy! :)


"What do you think Kendall's gonna do?" James asked ten minutes after Katie and Kendall went to talk.

"To you or to Katie?" Logan replied. "You know he wouldn't hurt Katie."

"Obviously," James said, rolling his eyes.

"Hard to say, dude," Carlos piped. "Kendall is really upset about everything."

"Don't worry so much, James. I doubt Kendall's going to kill you," Jo said, trying to comfort him.

"Yeah. I mean, sure he's upset, but he's seen how much you love Katie," Camille added. "You risked your life to save hers."

"I know," he said quietly.

"They've been gone for a while," Carlos said.

"It's only been ten minutes," Logan responded. "And it's a very serious talk."

"I wonder how hard he's grilling her."

"I'm sure she's fine, Cami," Jo said. "I just hope he doesn't try to go all parental on her."

"That wouldn't end well," James said, chuckling.

"Katie's really something special isn't she?" Carlos asked, smiling.

"Yeah, she is."

"You've got it bad, James," Camille teased. "You're actually complimenting someone else."

"Yeah, and before you were being modest. How does that happen?" Jo said, joining in on the teasing.

"Well, the car did hit his head," Logan smirked.

"Oh, ha ha ha. You're sooo funny," James said, getting irritated. "I'm sitting in a hospital bed and you're joking about my accident."

"Awww. Would you like us to go get your girlfriend to make it better, Jamie?" Carlos said in a baby voice.

"That's it!" he growled and started to get out of the bed.

Carlos' eyes widened in fear.


"Go easy on him, Kendall." Katie told her brother.

"No promises, baby sister."

"He was hit by a car. I think he's suffered enough today."

"I'm not gonna hurt him," Kendall said.

"Good. Do you think it was a good idea to leave them alone?"

"We're in a hospital. What's the worst that could happen? "

Before Katie could answer, they heard Carlos scream and ran back to the room.

"What is going on?" Katie asked, seeing Carlos cowering behind Jo and Camille and Logan trying to keep James in bed.

"James is trying to kill me," Carlos whimpered.

"Why?" Kendall asked.

"We were teasing him and Carlos kind of pushed him over the edge," Camille answered.

"Are you good now?" Logan asked James.

"Yes," he sighed and sat back against his pillow.

"Good," Logan said, letting go of him. "You can't be doing that stuff."

"Sorry, Dr. Mitchell," he said cheekily.

"Alright, now that everything is settled, everyone get out," Kendall said. "I need to talk to James."

Everyone left, no questions asked, except for Katie.

"You too, Katie."

Ignoring her brother, she walked over to James and hugged him.

"He may be acting tough right now, but don't let him scare you. He's not as upset as he wants you to think. He's more concerned than anything and is trying to understand this," she whispered to him.

She pulled away and kissed him on the cheek, feeling Kendall's eyes on her the entire time. She walked towards the door, but stopped at Kendall.

"Remember what I said."

Kendall nodded and she left.


Katie walked over to her friends and brothers and sat next to Carlos.

"How come you didn't come out with the rest of us?" he asked her.

"I had something to say to James and Kendall," she told him.

"What did you say?" Logan asked.

"I told James not to be scared. Kendall's not as upset as he wants him to think. He's just concerned and trying to understand everything."

"Kendall didn't yell at you for ruining his intimidation technique?"

"No, he doesn't know I said that. I hugged James before I left and whispered it to him."

"Sneaky girl," Jo laughed

Katie grinned and nodded.

"So you're not worried at all?" Carlos asked.

"No. Kendall just wants to know the truth, he's not gonna do anything."

"Well," Camille piped. "If he does decide to hurt James, at least he's in a hospital."

"James has suffered enough," said Logan. "Kendall knows that."

"Yeah, and I don't think he'd hit the guy who risked his own life to save his sister's," Jo added.

"So what do we do now?" Carlos asked Katie.

"We wait," she responded looking at the door to James' room.


"How ya feeling?" Kendall asked as he sat in the chair next to James' bed.

"I feel like I got hit by a car," he said, chuckling.

Kendall cracked a small smile. "James," he said seriously. "Why my sister?"

"I don't know," he answered honestly. "She's just, incredible. She's smart, funny, gorgeous and so much more."

"Sounds to me like you do know. When did all this start?"

"I started having a crush on her last year. I fell in love with her around six months ago."

"That's when she fell in love with you," Kendall told him.

"Really? Huh."

"What are your intentions with my sister?"

"To date her?" he questioned.

"You sound unsure James. I don't like that."

James sighed before answering. "I honestly don't know. I wanna be with her, but I don't know if I can."

"Why not?"

"Because of our friendship and the band. I don't wanna lose any of it, but I don't wanna lose her either. She means the world to me, Kendall."

"I know she does," Kendall said quietly. "If it was anybody else, I'd punch them right in the face."

"Well, I'm glad I'm not anybody else. I -"

"I want you to date her."

"Are you serious?" he asked shocked.

"Completely," he said, looking into James' eyes. "I see the way you look at her and the way she looks at you."

James looked at his friend who was starting to cry and started to get teary eyed himself.

"She's growing up. I can't stop that and I can't stop her from being in love either. She was right when she told you I wouldwant her to be happy. Out of all the guys she could have picked, I'm glad it was you."

"Kendall," James choked.

"We grew up with you and even when we were younger, I knew yours and Katie's relationship was different. I just didn't understand it then. All I want is for you both to be happy."

"Thank you."

"I should be thanking you. You saved my sister's life today. You better take care of her."

"I will."

"Good," Kendall started wiping his tears away. "I'm glad I kicked everyone out."

James chuckled and nodded, wiping his own tears.

Kendall looked back at James with a serious expression. "I'm warning you now. If you do hurt her, I will end you. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal," James gulped.

"Excellent. Hug?" Kendall asked with a smile.

"Sure."

Kendall got up and hugged James. "I should text Katie and tell her they can come back." he said while pulling out his phone. "If they say anything, we deny crying. Right?"

"Right," James agreed.


Katie jumped, feeling her phone vibrate in her pocket.

"Who texted?" Camille asked.

"Kendall. He said we can come back now," Katie answered while standing up.

"Let's go make sure James is still alive," Carlos said, half serious.

They all walked back to James' room and opened the door, shocked at what they saw.

"Were you guys crying?" Katie asked.

"NO!" they shouted.

Okay. That's all for this chapter. How did you guys like James and Kendall's talk? Was it bad? I know they were a little OOC, but I thought it would be kinda cute having them emotional. Anyways, tell me what you think. :)
