Chapter 30
"Logan?" Logan looked up and saw Shane's tall body standing above him. Logan let out a small smile; Shane and him had a complicated relationship.
"Hey." Logan replied. Shane looked around a few moments before plopping himself down next to Logan. Both of them sat there for a while, staring at the beautiful natures of Earth. When Logan couldn't take the silence any longer, he burst.
"Thanks."
Shane raised an eyebrow, reminding Logan of James. "For what?" He asked, although Logan was pretty sure he already knew.
"For saving me, man." Shane chuckled softly.
"Dude, that wasn't saving you. You just happened to wake up when I came in." He admitted honestly. His modesty and honesty reminded Logan of Carlos.
Logan shook his head. "No, Shane, I woke up because I heard yourvoice. I wanted you, as a friend. When I finally got you right there next to me, I found a reason good enough to wake up." Logan said guiltily. It felt like he was saying that his friends weren't important to him.
Shane seemed to read his mind. "That sounds really gay, man." He said jokingly. Logan cracked one of his crooked smiles.
"But I didn't think I could live without knowing the real you, ya know? I mean, I was so mean towards you and Carlos, and I didn't even know you yet. If you died, then I just lost my chance to know an amazing person. So, you saved my life, too, Logan." Logan blushed and looked down when he heard Shane's compassionate words.
"You know what? I'm glad I lived." Logan stated. "Well, not only because, well, I'm alive, but because I could meet someone great, too. Someone I have never met before. I've been given a great chance, Shane. Thanks." Shane nodded. They both stared into each other's eyes, brown meeting blue.
Shane stood up, and Logan followed suit. "I'm not going to be part of the band." Shane stated simply, as if it didn't matter.
Logan widened his eyes. "Why not?" Shane smiled.
"Big Time Rush is only meant for four people, Logan, and you're more worth it than I am." Logan had to blink back his tears.
"I don't know what to say, Shane. You've become one of my best friends, and I don't want to leave you after meeting you so soon." Logan whispered.
Shane put his hand on Logan's shoulder. "I'll be living in the Palm Woods, too, because I've decided that I'm going to become a solo singer." Shane announced. They both smiled.
"Well, I guess that's that." Logan sighed, rubbing his palms together. It was getting cold.
Shane nodded in agreement. "Yeah, enough of the yucky sweet movie stuff." He said, causing Logan to laugh.
When the two finally got back down, Kendall, James, and Carlos were waiting patiently for them. No one spoke during the walk back to their car. But on the car, Logan told them something that would change their lives, and many other lives, too.
"I've been thinking," Logan started, putting his arm around Carlos.
"Thinking about what?" Kendall prompted, wanting to hear Logan's idea.
Logan grinned. "I was lucky to survive this, but some other people aren't. Maybe it's because they don't have enough money to pay for the treatment." James's eyes lit up as he realized what Logan could be hinting at.
Kendall raised his eyebrows. "You're saying that we should…"
Logan nodded. "Start a fundraiser for kids and adults suffering from rabies." He finished.
Carlos grinned. "That sounds so cool!" He cried enthusiastically. Kendall, James, and Shane all nodded in agreement.
"But how are we going to do that?" Shane inquired.
But Logan already knew the answer. "I've already planned it out and stuff.," Logan's eyes twinkled. "We can raise money during out concerts and tours and stuff."
"That's awesome, Logie!" James said, his eyes still on the road ahead of them.
"Yeah, dude. Great idea!" Shane added.
"I didn't know you were capable of thinking like that, Loganator!" Kendall joked, earning a punch in the shoulder.
"That'll be SO fun, Logan!" Carlos cried, already squirming in excitement.
"So, we're gonna start our next concert, alright?" Logan asked, hoping they'd say yes.
"TOTALLY!" They all cried together, laughing and cheering. Everything was working just fine now. Not only had Logan recovered, but they were helping others live their lives to the fullest as well.
Just as Logan had.
Line line line
"Dude, we earned a THOUSAND bucks!" James shrieked, practically screaming like a girl. Kendall laughed and rolled his eyes.
"You're such a girl, dude. But I'm proud of what we've earned." Kendall agreed.
They had raised a ton of money from selling BTR clothing, accessories, cups, hats, and anything else you could possibly think of. They were doing well, and this was only the first concert. Almost all of their fans with money wanted to raise money for a cause that Logan had suffered. Some of them even donated money for nothing in return. Their fans were great.
"Wow… I can't believe it actually worked…" Logan breathed in disbelief. He honestly though they'd get about 10 bucks, but now he was holding 5 hundred dollar bills! He couldn't believe how much money they had raised.
"Woah… Logie, can we keep some of this money?" Carlos asked excitedly. He'd never seen so much money at once, and his eyes were as wide as saucers. Logan rolled his eyes.
"No! This is for the sick people, dude. We can't give it to ourselves." Carlos's face fell, but he understood. He didn't want other people's best friends to be acting like Logan had when he had rabies, and have nothing to help them with.
"Okay…" Carlos groaned, reluctantly handing the money over to Logan.
James patted Logan on the back. "We're proud of ya, buddy."
Logan blushed. "It's nothing, guys." He tried to persuade them.
Kendall shook his head. "It's not nothing, Logie. You're probably saving bunches of peoples' lives with the money you're holding."
"Yeah! You're so smart, Logie!" Carlos added. Logan blushed even harder, his face turning red and his gaze turning towards his hands and the ground. He didn't like it when the attention was on him.
"Thanks," Logan mumbled.
"Seriously, man, we're really glad you survived." Shane said. The others nodded eagerly, too. They didn't know what they would've done if Logan didn't survive. None of them would be happy again.
"You guys helped me to recover." Logan argued, not wanting to have all the praise on him.
"Yeah, but you're the one who lived." Carlos replied.
"Just… never do that again, k?" James asked cautiously. He was afraid that Logan might get offended. After all, it wasn't his fault that he was acting totally insane. It was the disease. But Logan only nodded vigorously.
"Dude, trust me, I'm not going to that level any time soon."
Kendall wrapped his arm around Logan. "We're glad to have you back, buddy."
James, Shane, and Carlos all joined Logan and Kendall in a huge bear hug. Everyone was happy now, and that was all that mattered to Logan.
Just then, Gustavo came up to them, holding up a pamphlet with excitement shining in his eyes. "Guess what, dogs?" His loud voice boomed at them.
"What?" They all shouted back in reply. Shane just watched curiously.
"Popstar Magazine just announced their "Visit the Amazon Rain Forest with Big Time Rush" contest!" Gustavo said, smiling. The boys looked at each other fearfully, and groaned.
But Logan interrupted their groaning. "Guys, I am not going to get bitten this time!"
