Chapter 7

"Okay... so what do we search?" James asked quietly, not wanting to break the eerie silence that filled the room all of a sudden. All three of the boys knew Logan was in danger. There was something wrong with Logan. But they just didn't know what it was.

"Well, I guess we could look up all of his symptoms." Kendall suggested, for once not knowing what to say. James nodded and started typing.

"Irritability, hallucinations..." James mumbled to himself, typing as fast as he could. Kendall leaned forward, ready for James to hit enter. But before James could move, Carlos interrupted him.

"Wait! I think Logan's been having panic attacks, too." Carlos put in quietly, not wanting to break his promise of not telling anyone. Logan was in trouble and needed as much help as possible. The other two boys glanced over at Carlos in shock and confusion. What was he talking about?

"Remember that time when Logan freaked and carried me out of the water and back into our apartment?" James nodded, and Kendall smiled.

"He wasn't acting. Logan told me he had a panic attack, because he imagined that his cousin was getting attacked by a shark." Carlos finished innocently, not knowing how much those words would have changed everything. James gasped, and Kendall's eyes widened.

"Carlos... that wasn't a panic attack. Either Logan was having a hallucination, or..." James trailed off, not wanting to say it. He had never thought about it before, so he didn't know how it suddenly popped into his brain.

"He's afraid of the water." Kendall whispered, everything falling into place. He had a feeling that Logan was getting scared all of a sudden. Logan was scared of the water, so he imagined a shark eating Carlos. He was scared of... water? Kendall couldn't believe it.

"Why didn't you tell us?" James demanded loudly. Carlos flinched, and looked down.

"I thought it was really a panic attack... How was I supposed to know?" He asked, his voice sounding vulnerable and hurt. James sighed apologetically, turning back to his laptop.

James was just finishing typing 'aquaphobi-" When they all heard someone opening the door to their apartment. Was it Logan? Kendall stood up and peeked out from the room he was currently in. Logan was stumbling, and he leaned against the table, looking about to pass out.

"Logan! What's wrong?" Kendall shouted, panic entering his voice. Kendall's panic caused James and Carlos to follow their leader out to where Logan was. Logan looked horrible. He was choking, and white bubbly foam or spit or whatever it was leaked out of his mouth. He made horrible noises, and he gasped for breath. It was hard for him to breath.

Logan felt black entering his vision. He had a hard time breathing, and every now and then, he felt his body jerk violently. He had been taking a walk down the street, and suddenly, he felt himself choking. He reacted quickly and ran towards the lobby, and somehow, somehow, he had gotten into 2J. He heard muffled noises, but they were slowly fading away.

"Call 911!" James yelled loudly, not caring who did it. Kendall dialed the three most feared numbers, and stated his emergency.

"Our friend, Logan, seems to be having a stroke or a seizure or something. Please come help us! We live in Apartment 2J at the Palm Woods!" Kendall said quickly. He wasn't sure if the other person on the line could understand him, but he didn't care. Logan was dying.

"Logan! Don't leave us! Please?" James begged helplessly, shaking Logan as hard as he could. Suddenly, James didn't care it he hurt Logan or not. Logan just had to keep on staying awake. He couldn't sleep. Or he might never wake up again. If James hadn't upset Logan, maybe this wouldn't have happened. If Logan hadn't left the apartment, he might've been fine. If James hadn't started arguing with him... everything would be fine right now. Right?

Kendall paced around nervously, fearing for the worst. What if he wasn't speaking clearly and the paramedics or whoever was coming didn't get here on time? Logan would die, and it would all be his fault. He was the leader. He had to protect all of his best friends. But now Logan was in trouble. Kendall had thought nothing of it when Logan stormed out. But now, he knew he should've cared more about Logan's well being.

Carlos stood frozen in fear and shock. He watched as Logan convulsed and choked for minutes and minutes. Everything seemed to freeze around him, except for the one thing he wanted to freeze. Logan. Logan was the only thing moving around him, and Carlos felt helpless. So helpless. He couldn't do anything to help Logan, and he felt ashamed of himself.

When the paramedics came in, Kendall stopped pacing, and James reluctantly let go of Logan. Two men took the friend into a stretcher, and quickly ordered the three to follow them in their own car. Carlos still stared, not yet recovering from his shock. Kendall shook Carlos out of his trance, and the three quickly ran into the parking lot.

"You okay, Carlos?" Kendall asked, out of breath when they finally got onto the car. Carlos nodded and took a shaky breath. James sat in the back with Carlos, and rubbed his back in comforting circles.

"Is Logie gonna be okay?" Carlos whimpered. James looked down at his black shoes, not knowing what to say. He didn't want to lie to Carlos, but he knew telling the truth would hurt him more. James told Carlos what he was thinking, because it was time they started acting honest to each other. Logan wasn't, and look where that got him.

"I don't know, buddy. All we can do is hope for the best." James whispered. He wasn't sure if Carlos heard him, but he couldn't say anymore. There was a lump in his throat, and James couldn't swallow it no matter what he did. He feared that if he said anymore, he would burst into tears or something. He didn't want to cry in front of his friends. Well, he didn't want to be the first to cry. He was never the first to cry about anything. When his grandma died, James hadn't cried until two day later, at her funeral. James was really close with his grandma, and it hurt so bad when she died. But somehow, James didn't think it was necessary to cry. So he didn't. Until he couldn't keep it in anymore.

Kendall barely paid attention to the traffic lights. For all he knew, he could have ran a red light. Actually, he probably did. Kendall just didn't care. His vision was slightly blurred by his tears. But Kendall refused to let any of them fall. He was the leader, he was supposed to be strong for all of them. He couldn't cry, or James and Carlos would know that there was a big possibility that Logan could die. Kendall had an idea as to what was wrong with Logan. Some time ago, Kendall had snuck a peak in Logan's medical book, and read about one of the most horrible diseases someone could get. One of the symptoms was 'aquaphobia', the fear of water. Kendall read about the disease, and found that it was very life-threatening.

Carlos felt tears filling both of his eyes, his sniffled and wiped his eyes with his shirt. He knew that was gross, but he couldn't help it. He didn't want to reach for a tissue or something. He was just so tired and scared, he didn't want to move at all. He had no idea what had just happened. Logan fell, and white stuff came out of his mouth. Now he was in the hospital probably, and maybe he was dying... Carlos shuddered and bit his lip. What would happen if Logan... died? All of them would probably be in jail. Carlos couldn't help but think that he was useless. When Logan... fell, James was there trying to keep Logan awake, and Kendall was there to call 911 and state their emergency perfectly. What did he do? He stood there, frozen, because he was too scared to do anything. He was such a wimp.

Kendall cut the engine after he parked carefully in front of the hospital. Logan was probably already in a room, in danger and pain. But still, Kendall, James, and Carlos sat in the car, thinking about all the things they had done wrong. How they could have helped Logan before this incident occurred. The three boys sat in their red car, in the huge parking lot, thinking. About everything.
