Chapter 5: OK
Carlos' heart sunk into his stomach as Mrs Knight spoke, and he couldn't help the tears that sprung to his eyes, and blinked furiously at them,
"James and- but they're OK right?" he stuttered, looking up at Mrs Knight hopefully.
"One of them had to be air lifted to hospital buddy," Logan reminded him gently from where he was sitting, his arm protectively around Katie's shoulder on the couch, and Carlos shook his head, blinking at the tears.
"That was James," Mrs Knight said "apparently he-"
"No!" Carlos yelled suddenly "He's fine! They're both fine!" the pressure was building up inside of him, and he felt like he was going to explode; he took off at a run towards the bedrooms, and the others heard the slamming of the door pierce the silence. Katie let out a sniffle, and Logan rubbed her shoulder gently,
"Katie?" the genius asked softly; the little girl shook her head wordlessly, however, and slipped from Logan's arms to run into her mother's. Logan got up from the couch and made his way up to their bedrooms, knocking gently on Carlos' and James' bedroom door.
"James?" came Carlos' hopeful call, and Logan sighed before opening the door slowly and putting his head into the room.
"Uh, no Carlitos," he said, hoping the nickname would raise his friend's spirits "it's me. Listen, buddy, Mama Knight, Katie and I are gonna go into the hospital, but if you don't want to come, you don't have to," Carlos looked up at Logan, his eyes wide and tears as his bottom lip wobbling. All of a sudden, the younger boy got up from the bed, grabbed Logan's hand and pulled him into the room, shutting the door behind him as collapsing into his chest, sobbing.
"Logie!" Carlos cried "I'm s-scared!"
"Oh Carlos," Logan said gently, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy and rubbing his back as Carlos clung to him "I know, I'm scared too-"
"What if they're not OK?" he sobbed, staining Logan's shirt with tears, not that the genius cared.
"They're gonna be OK," Logan said, for lack of better words; he had no idea what else to tell Carlos, aside from the facts of the accident, and the probability of Kendall and James having serious long term injuries. He didn't know how to console Carlos, how to make him at least believe that everything was going to be OK, that was Kendall's forte, Carlos needed Kendall there, not Logan. The genius sighed, "it's gonna be OK, Carlos, but we're gonna go and see what the doctors have to say, OK? But you don't have to come of you don't want to." he felt like he was talking to a child, but he could tell that's what Carlos needed right now, someone to be gentle and simple for him, so he could feel like he had someone older than him, protecting him.
"No, it's OK," Carlos replied in a small voice, standing up from where he had been leaning on Logan "I wanna see them,"
"OK," Logan said opening the door "lets go together," he offered his hand to Carlos, who took it in both of his own.
"Thanks Logie," Carlos said, giving the smallest of smiles, but Logan took pride in the fact that it was a smile nonetheless.
"Anytime, Carlitos,"
A/N: OK, that was way shorter than I meant it to be :/ aww I just love when the guys use nicknames :) please review, even though it sucked, next chapter'll be up later today!
