Hey, im back-ish. I've been finishing school and moving for the last couple months but I finally moved and ITS SUMMER. Boom! Im kind of upset with this update because it's short. I promise I am going to finish this soon. As soon as I don't have freaking Summer School.

"This band and this friendship mean the world to these boys."

"Hold on Logie, we're almost there." Kendall told the still unconcoius Logan Mitchell as he and his best friends rushed down the stairs. Debris was piled knee high is some areas of the staircase but that didn't stop them.

The teens still hadn't met anyone on their descent down and it was scaring them more and more each level they passed. How could police or firemen not be in here trying to get people out? James was already walking with a limp from when the wardrobe had fallen on him and Carlos was trying to help him along but Carlos is a tiny guy compared to James.

Things weren't going any better for Kendall and Logan. Kendall still held the teen in his arms and he could feel the heat radiating from Logan's body causing even Kendall to sweat. He was worried beyond belief for his best friend, this fever was hurting Logan and Kendall knew it. His injuries were causing him to let out pained whimpers that broke Kendall's heart. Kendall knew that if he didn't get Logan to help soon, Logan wouldn't be waking up.

"Hello? Is anyone else up there?" A unfamiliar voice yelled up the staircase, making the boys jump in surprise.

Kendall froze and almost collapsed in relief because that was the sound of help. "H-here!" Kendall yelled, not even caring that his voice held no more strength.

"Stay right where you are, we'll come to you!" Someone ordered and Kendall was completely okay with that statement. He was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to walk under the complete relief he felt at the moment.

"You hear that Loge? That's help." Kendall breathed even though he knew Logan couldn't hear him, it made Kendall feel better.

Kendall slumped against the wall and slid down, keeping Logan in his arms because he felt that if he let him go he might just disappear. Kendall watched Carlos help James sit and then slump to the ground by him as they waited. They heard the footsteps coming up and that was the only thing they wanted to hear at the moment well besides Logan's voice.

After what seemed like hours, two men decked out in fireman suits came into view. They were covered in white powder and looking exhausted and Kendall knew they probably looked the same. One was tall with blue eyes while the other was short with his own blue eyes. If you paid enough attention, you could tell these two were brothers. Same nose, same mouth and same build.

The taller one pulled out a walkie talkie and brought it to his mouth, "We've found four teenage boys. I'm assuming these are the boys they've been looking for, one is out while the others look okay, over."

"I'm Corey and this is John, we're here to get you out." The shorter said in a relaxing voice.

Kendall nodded and tried to get back up with Logan but his knees simply gave out on him. John and Corey both stepped forward to help him but Carlos stopped them. "Let us carry him." Carlos pleaded, stepping between them and his best friends.

"You kids look exhausted, let us take him." John said trying to convince Carlos to give up their charge but the Latino was having none of it.

"He's our brother." Carlos said simply and turned to Kendall who looked like he was ready to break down. He didn't see the understanding look that the two firemen sent each other.

"Let me carry him Kendall, help James." Carlos begged of the protective blond who was still holding Logan close to his chest.

"But-"

"I've got him." Carlos promised, cutting off Kendall's protest. Kendall read the promise in Carlos's eyes and slowly let go of the sick teen.

Immediately Carlos swooped up the precious bundle. He may look small but he could carry Logan, he's done it before. Kendall stood and slowly pulled James to his feet. He put an arm around his waist and pulled James' arm around his shoulders.

"Let's go." Carlos said looking at the firemen who had been watching the scene with understanding

Fail.
