Here's Chapter 8. :) I'm sorry it's up a little later than usual, I was working on something for another story. Anyways, here's the chapter. I hope you enjoy it and sorry if I missed anything.
An hour had passed since Katie and the rest of the gang returned to James' room. They had argued for a good fifteen minutes, Katie trying to get the boys to admit they were crying and them denying such claims. Getting bored, Carlos took the remote and put on cartoons. Now, forty-five minutes Later, Logan was trying to take it from him.
"But I wanna watch cartoons," Carlos pouted.
"You can have it back in a couple minutes," Logan sighed.
"Fine," he said, handing over the remote.
Logan took it and put on the news.
"Ew," Katie said scrunching up her nose. "Who watches the news?"
"I wanna see if they talk about James," said Logan, turning his attention back to the TV.
"Look! They're talking about it," Jo pointed.
"19 year old James Diamond, member of Big Time Rush, was hospitalized today after getting hit by a car. From what we understand, he saved band member and best friend, Kendall Knight's little sister. Unfortunately, we have no other information at this time. Although, I do think it's suffice to say that James Diamond is a hero. Back to you, Ted."
"See? I told you that you were a hero," Camille said.
"Wait," Katie said. "Did anyone call mom?"
"Crap! I knew we forgot something," Kendall said, shaking his head.
"Well, we better call her and tell her."
"No need. I already heard."
Everyone turned to the doorway and saw Mama Knight.
"We are so sorry," Logan said. "We were so worried about James that -"
"It's fine, sweetheart, I understand," she told him. She walked over to James and sat down on his bed. "How are you feeling?"
"Better than I was earlier," he answered.
"Good. You wanna tell me what happened?"
"Mom," Kendall interrupted. "Maybe that's a story we should save for when we get home."
"Why?" she asked.
"It's not something I want to talk to you about here," Katie answered. "But I'll give you the short version."
"Okay...what's the short version?"
"James and Katie got into another fight. She wanted to be by herself, so she told him she'd be back later," Jo told her.
"She didn't see the car coming and James tried to warn her. She thought he was just trying to get her to come back, so she pretty much blew him off," Camille added.
"I saw she wasn't gonna be able to get out of the way, so I ran and pushed her," James said.
"Oh, sweetheart." Mama Knight said, teary-eyed. "Thank you so much."
"Don't mention it," he said with a smile.
"So what were you fighting about this time?" she asked.
"That's the part that gets saved for when we're home," Katie told her.
"Do I even want to know?"
"I think you should," said Kendall.
"Okay, we will talk about it when we go home."
"Speaking of talking," James said. "Has anyone called my mom?"
"No. we forgot that too," Logan said.
"I really hope she didn't hear about it on the news. That would be really bad."
"That would be bad," Katie agreed.
"I'll go call her now," Mama Knight told him.
"Thanks."
"No problem, sweetie. Make sure you get some rest soon," she said as kissed him on the forehead. She turned to Katie, Kendall, Logan and Carlos. "I expect you guys home soon. You need to let him get some sleep."
They all nodded and agreed to come home within the next two hours.
"I'll see you guys at home." She hugged them and left.
"Ugh," Katie said. "Do I have to go home?"
"You're gonna have to tell her sometime," Jo told her.
"Yeah, but James and I haven't even talked."
"That's true," Logan agreed.
"Well, maybe you should do that now," Kendall suggested.
"He's right," James piped. "Everyone, but Katie, get out of my room."
"Rude," said Carlos, sticking his tongue out at James.
"Just go," Kendall said, pushing him out the door behind Logan and the girls.
"So..." Katie trailed.
"Come here," he told her, patting his bed.
She walked over to him and sat down.
"I meant what I said."
"Which part?" she asked.
"All of it. Kendall wasn't happy, but you saw the results. I love you Katie and I want to be with you."
"I love you too."
"Do you wanna be with me?" he asked.
"Yes, but what about your fans, Griffin, and the paparazzi?"
"They can all talk, say what they want about us, about us, oh, woah, and nothing even matters, woah, and nothing even matters," he sang.
"Cute," she said. "Are you gonna use a song for everything?"
"I can try," he said grinning.
"Anyways, how are we going to do this? Are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend, or is this one of those times where the couple just starts dating with no asking?"
"Oh, I'm gonna ask you, just not here," he responded.
"Why not here?"
"Because we're in a hospital. That's no place to ask someone to be your girlfriend. There's sick people, dieing people, dead people. It's just weird."
Katie chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, I kinda see your point."
"I promise you though, once I'm outta here, I will ask you."
"And I promise you that I will say yes," she said, smiling.
"You better. Now come here," he said, stretching his arms out.
Katie crawled into his arms and put her head on his chest.
The door opened and Kendall poked his head in. "Is it okay for us to come back in?"
"Mhm," Katie mumbled.
"So are you guys dating now?" Jo asked with a smile as they all sat down.
"Nope," James said.
"What do you mean no?" Logan asked.
"Well genius, I'm pretty sure no means no," Katie said.
"Why aren't you -" Carlos tried to ask.
"I told her I wasn't gonna ask her here, it's weird. I will do it when I'm home," he informed them.
"Oh. Okay," Kendall said.
"So what should we do until we have to leave?" Camille asked.
Carlos took the remote and grinned. "Cartoons!"
Not sure if I liked it, it seemed kind of rushed. (Haha that's slightly funny) Seriously though, if it is, I'm sorry. Don't you just love Carlos though? Let me know what you guys think. :)
