Chapter 3: The Accident
Next chapter;
"Jo, you're gonna have to detach yourself from Kendall and come with us," Logan said as Carlos giggled "Sorry!"
Kendall made an obscene hand gesture at them, and Jo thwacked him on the head before letting go of his hand and heading over to the BTR mobile, as Carlos leapt over the door and landed awkwardly in the front seat.
"This is here for a reason, you know," Logan said, opening the driver's door and climbing in as Jo sat in the back seat. Kendall waved to the others from the front seat of the bomb as James slid in beside him.
"Alright, Kendall, you gotta show me how the heck you won that race in this thing!" he said, patting the seat, which emitted a plume of dust and made both boys cough and choke slightly.
"Alright then," Kendall sputtered, waving the dust away from him "buckle up," he started the engine, and it roared to life as James' seat belt clicked.
Kendall slowly pulled out of the track and onto the road, the engine puttering as he did so, and growling as he pushed down the accelerator and headed off.
"Man, why is there so much traffic?" Carlos asked, tapping his finger nails against the side of the car as Logan's knuckles progressively turned whiter and whiter, and the line of his lips got smaller and smaller.
"It is peak hour," Jo said, checking her watch; lunch time on a Saturday was when L.A was at its busiest; with people all heading out to eat before auditions or call times. Carlos let out a sigh and continued to tap on the side of the car, much to Logan's annoyance,
"Carlos," the raven haired boy threatened "I swear if you don't knock that off, I'll climb back there and strangle you!"
"Sorry!" Carlos called, blowing out a raspberry as he stared out at all the other cars that were stationary beside them.
"Carlos!" Logan warned.
"Come on, Logan!" Carlos whined "I'm bored!"
"I know!" Logan replied, stealing a quick glance in the rear view mirror at Carlos, before putting his eyes back on the road as he pulled away from the jam.
"Well, Kendall," James said evenly "this is a very nice car, but we can't really test it's awesomeness until we get out on the back roads,"
"You're the boss," Kendall said, turning off the highway when the traffic started to move again, and within moments they were speeding along one of the back roads, a plume of dust following them as they went.
"I think I underestimated your car skills!" James told his friend as the speedometer climbed.
"Thank you, James!" Kendall smirked, eyes on the road. And then it happened.
All at once, there was a car racing towards them, and Kendall held fast on the wheel, not letting the car drift too far around the corner, but his heart gave a leap when he realized the other car was heading straight for them, on their side of the road!
"Ke-" James managed to get out before the other car moved back to the other side of the road, and each of the boys let out the breath they were holding.
"Drunks," Kendall muttered under his breath; he and James were just doing the limit, slightly over maybe, but the other car had to be speeding. If Kendall could just pick up a little speed, he'd be able to get past them in no time and everything would be alright... he pushed his foot down on the accelerator ever so slowly, seeing James' eyes widen beside him,
"What?" Kendall asked as James shook his head, his eyes almost the size of table tennis balls as he stared at something straight past Kendall "If we can get past them-" all of a sudden, there was a monumental jolt, and both Kendall and James felt themselves being flung to the left as the car spun, and caught a glimpse of James as the taller boy's head collided with the side of the car, and a second jolt, forward now, as the car collided with a tree, and Kendall heard a sickening crack as he felt the airbag went off in front of him, and looked over to James, who was hunched over the dashboard, crimson blood seeping from his head as Kendall's heart dropped; James' airbag hadn't gone off, he was unconscious! Kendall tried to sit up and look around, but an agonizing pain shot through him, and he had to lie back on the airbag as his head began to spin.
"James?" he got out, his voice raspy as he reached for his best friend's hand "James, it's gonna be OK, alright? It- James it's gonna be OK, I promise!"
A/N: Kendall, quit making promises! :)
OK, so with James' line; "well, Kendall..." I kinda pictures him to sound like Bender from the Breakfast Club when he was like "well, Brian, this is a very nutritious lunch," because I love the way he says that :)
Reviews are amazing! After exams are done I'll update ASAP, k?
