James noticed a slight shifting sound beside him. Carlos had gone into the forest earlier to see if he could find somewhere for them to stay. James looked to his left when the noise continued.
Logan groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. Immediately, his hand left his side and flew up to his temple. There was a sticky substance covering one side of his face… What happened?... He turned his head carefully to the right when he felt someone staring at him.
"James?" He asked in a faint whisper, "What's going on? Are you alright? Where's Carlos? What happened to the car?" His voice getting stronger with each question.
"Calm down Logan! The car crashed… Yes, I'm alright, Carlos is in the woods, and we're stuck in a ditch at the bottom of a hill. You and Kendall have been unconscious for a while, and we've been trying to look for someplace to stay." James interrupted his ranting.
Logan hadn't even noticed Kendall before his name was mentioned. He looked over to his left, and instantly thought he was going to have a heart attack.
"JAMES! Come over here and bring the first aid kit!" Logan gasped as he saw the large piece of glass sticking out from Kendall's side. He needed to pull it out before it caused any more damage… of course if he does that, they would need to control the bleeding, but it was a risk that he was going to have to take.
James crawled over to where Logan was kneeled next to Kendall, and dropped the bag. "What are you going to do?" his voice wavering.
"James, you're going to have to help me with this. When I begin to pull this out, Kendall will mostly regain consciousness for a bit, and I can't afford to have him pulling away for he might damage himself even more. As soon as I take it out, I'm going to pour water on the wound, and then try to staunch the bleeding. Are you ready?"
James gulped and nodded his head slowly. He crawled to Kendall's other side and held down his arms.
Logan slowly placed one of his shaking hands on his friend's side, and one on the shard of glass. Now I understand why doctors don't operate on their own family members… Logan was afraid of messing up. He didn't want to hurt Kendall, but he knew that if the glass stayed there any longer, the chances of the wound getting infected would be even higher.
Slowly, Logan began to pull the glass from Kendall's side. As soon as this action began, Kendall began squirming under James's grasp. Small cries of pain escaped from his mouth, causing James to start panicking.
"Logan! Logan, he's waking up! Hurry, please hurry!" James knew Logan was trying to not injure their friend any more than he has been, but he didn't want Kendall completely awake during this. He didn't think he could stand watching.
"I know James, don't worry, I'm almost done." Logan assured, when in reality, he was losing it as much as James. He felt Kendall's body begin to tense when he finally got the whole piece of glass out. Quickly, he reached beside him to the open water bottle. The cut was bleeding… a lot. He needed to clean the dirt away so it wouldn't enter the wound. He slowly poured some water around it, causing the blood to go pink and wash away. He set the bottle down and grabbed some gauze. Logan pulled Kendall's shirt up above the wound, and began to wrap the gauze around.
Kendall's body began to relax as he slowly slipped back into unconsciousness. Logan settled back on his knees, letting out a breath he hadn't known he'd been holding. James let go of his friend's arms and crawled over to Logan.
"Is he gonna be okay now?" He asked in a shaky voice. Logan nodded his head.
"For a little while. It's still bleeding a lot, and he needs medical attention. I don't have that many supplies here to help." Logan sighed as he lay down on the grass.
"Hey, come here." James called. Logan looked at him with question on his face, but shifted over. James took the water bottle and poured it on Logan's face. He washed away the blood, and pressed gauze on it to stop the bleeding.
"Oh… Thanks James." Logan smiled and looked at his friend. There was worry written all over his face. After the gauze was taped, they both lay down for a moment.
"You know, I'm going to have to set your leg eventually… and since we're patching each other up right now, I think it's a good time." Logan noted quietly. Setting bones wasn't fun, but since James's shin was broken, it would have to be done.
"Now or never I guess." He replied in a dead tone. Logan shuffled over to his shin, and handed James a stick. "Bite on that as hard as you can. I'm not going to lie… this will hurt a bit."
James took the stick in his mouth and nodded. "Are you gonna like, count to thr- AHHHH!" He was cut off when his leg was all of a sudden snapped back into place.
"What the heck was that Logan!" He panted, trying to regain control of himself.
Logan winced. "Well, I figured that if you didn't know when I was going to do it, it wouldn't be as bad…"
James glared at him, until he noticed a ruffling noise coming from the forest.
"Hey James! I found a good place to stay in there! It's- what happened here?" Carlos stumbled out of the forest noticing how much has changed since he left.
Kendall was still unconscious, but with a slightly less hard look on his face. There was also n longer a piece of glass sticking out from his side.
James's leg looked more normal, and was being put into a makeshift splint, by the now-awake Logan, whose face was cleaned up and had gauze, taped to his temple.
Carlos stared at Logan until he got an answer.
"So… have any broken bones?"
Ahahahaha... Not really! Logan's got a really bad sense of humor :D. So, in this chapter I focused mostly on fixing everybody up. *waves magical wand* Wounds be gone! Jk, it doesn't work that way... Not even in my story! In case any of you want to know, I plan on this story being at least 14 chapters (I planned the whole thing out :o) and also, trust me when I say that things won't get too much worse for the guys... (notice how I underlined "too"?) Anyways... :D
Whatever the aliens say,
