I was freakin' out. I thought I had a bad case of...writer's block. *shudders*

So this'll have to do. I wasn't too proud of this chapter, but oh well. At least the story begins to pick up a little bit.

Enjoy!...and remember that I still don't own BTR.

The Garcias took their son to the Palm Woods. Carlos smiled once the door opened. Various residents crowded around them once they saw Carlos. Guitar Dude, Tyler, even the the Jennifers and Mr. Bitters asked how he was doing. Questions like "What happened?" "How's Logan?" and "Are the guys who did this in jail now?" and various other questions were thrown at Carlos. Camille wasn't there. She was at another rehearsal, but planned to go to the hospital later.

Carlos could have kissed the ground once he entered into 2J. Everything was exactly how they left it. Of course, since they were all at the hospital this past week, the apartment was barely used. Carlos quickly took a shower, threw on black jeans, a red graphic tee, and a pair of Vans. He was ready to dash out the door but his parents stopped him.

"Carlitos!" his mom called out. "I told you that you need to eat."

"Aw but Mom," Carlos began as his shoulders sulked. "I really wanna see Logan."

"I know," Sylvia replied as she headed into the kitchen. "But the doctors said that you need to be taking care of yourself. At least have a sandwich, okay?"

"Besides," Mr. Garcia added. "Eating here will be better than standing another day of hospital food. Right?" Sometimes Mr. Garcia felt like he was talking to a ten year old. Once Sylvia had made the sandwich, Carlos gratefully took it, and the family headed out to go to the hospital.

Once in the lobby, Carlos and his parents were approached by Kendall's little buddy. "Hey, Amirah."

She smiled awkwardly, remembering that she contributed...okay caused, Carlos' heart to stop. "Hey, Carlos. Mr. and Mrs. Garcia." She turned back to Carlos. "How ya doing?"

He shrugged. "Much better I guess. Now I'm just waiting for Logan to completely heal. I'll admit. I don't like the hospital. But Logan's awake so I gotta be there, you know?"

Amirah nodded. "Yeah, I know. I've been there." She paused for a bit. "Camille and I were gonna pay Logan a visit once she gets back. We should be there around three."

Carlos smiled. "Okay. I'll let Kendall and Logan know. I'll see you there, okay?"

"Okay," she said, smiling. "Oh and Carlos, about, you know...the text."

Carlos raised his hand. "Don't worry about it. I'm not mad. I was scared when that whole episode happened, but I'm okay now. That's all that matters."

Amirah felt relieved. "Yeah. Okay thanks, Carlos. See you later." She shuffled away. Glad that Carlos wasn't mad at her, actually it seemed like his parents weren't mad either. Her biggest fear now was facing Kendall.

On the way to the hospital, Carlos couldn't help but think about the awkward encounter he had with Amirah. He didn't want her blaming herself for what happened. He didn't want anyone to blame themselves for what happened. He realized that everyone was just trying to protect him, and Amirah was just a victim of "wrong place, wrong time". Carlos didn't realize they were in the hospital parking lot until her felt the car stop moving and saw his parents unbuckling their seat belts. He quickly followed suit as they walked inside, aiming straight for Logan's room.

The boys greeted the Garcias as they made their way into the room. A lively conversation between the boys broke out. So much that a nurse had to come in and warn Logan to calm himself down. "Sorry," James whispered as the nurse walked out the room. The boys' parents decided to give their sons some privacy, so they went out into the hallway.

"Oh, Amirah said that her and Camille are coming later this afternoon," Carlos said, noticing Kendall's facial expression.

"Amirah? Why?" Kendall asked, kind of annoyed.

"What?" James asked. "Nervous that your little girlfriend is coming?" James and Logan laughed.

Kendall rolled his eyes. "C'mon guys. The last time she tried to talk to me, Carlos ended up...you know!" He exclaimed while gesturing to Carlos.

"That's not her fault, Kendall," Carlos said. "She didn't know that I'd be the one with your phone. She didn't know that no one told me that Logie was in a coma. I'm not mad at her. You shouldn't be either."

"I'll think about it," Kendall said, with a stubborn attitude.

"Wow, Kendall," Logan said. "You care about us more than we care about ourselves." James and Carlos nodded in agreement.

Kendall's phone went off. He read his text and laughed. "Katie's spending the day with Kelly and Gustavo. Get this. She says that Gustavo wants to visit us...sometime."

"Sooo...never," Logan concluded.

"Until Griffin hounds him for a new song," James cut in. The boys shuddered when they imagined how much work they'll be getting once they return to the studio.

Mr. Garcia rolled his eyes as his phone began ringing again. It was work again. "Just answer it. See what they want," Sylvia said.

He sighed, walked away from the group of parents, and reluctantly answered. "Hello."

His partner's voice was on the other line. "I've been calling you for days!"

"Well I've only been with my son after he got sent to the hospital," he responded sarcastically. "What's wrong, Elliot?"

Mr. Garcia heard his partner sigh. "It's not good buddy. It's Rollins."

"What about Rollins?"

"He escaped from jail."

"Elliot. Y-you can't be serious. When?"

"A couple of days before you left. I don't know why it took them a few days to let us know." Elliot sighed. "You arrested him. You did everything in your power to make sure Rollins got arrested. He hates you. He-"

"I know. I know." Mr. Garcia cut him off and sighed. He didn't like where this conversation was going. "I have a feeling he's already struck." He glanced into the hospital room, seeing his son. Carlos was okay. Rollins didn't kill him. That's all that mattered.

"What do you mean?"Mr Garcia never told anyone at work what was wrong with Carlos when he and his wife hopped on a plane to LA. All he told them was that his son was in the hospital and he wouldn't know when he'd be back.

"Listen Elliot. I told you guys my son was in the hospital but I never said why. He and his friend were attacked. Carlos was stabbed...I don't want to assume anything, but what if it was Rollins?"

Elliot once again sighed. "Keep your son and wife close, okay? I'll have me and the other guys track him down and see if he's even left the state. We won't rest until this guy is back in jail. You have my word."

"Thanks, Elliot. Keep me posted." He hung up his phone and headed back to where his wife was seating. "Sylvia. We need to talk."

She nodded and they walked away from the group. "What's wrong?"

"That was Elliot." He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "That guy I arrested. Rollins. He escaped from jail."

Sylvia knew that Rollins absolutely hated her husband. She constantly received threats from his friends after he'd been arrested. She was just glad Carlos was already in LA and didn't have to go through that. "He threatened us again, didn't he?" Mr. Garcia nodded. "We have to tell Carlos. And this time. No hesitations."

They couldn't shake of the feeling that Rollins may have already gotten to Carlos and Logan was an unlucky bystander. They had to tell him. Now.

Okay so there it was. A little short, I know. Sorry the boys didn't get to see a lot of action today.

My biggest argument right now is this whole Amirah thing going on with Kendall. So in your review, after you tell me what you just absolutely loved, go ahead and tell me what you think about Amirah. :/

In other words, I'm hinting to you: Review please!

(Go shawty, it's your birthday. We gonna party like it's your birthday. Gonna sip Bacardi like it's your birthday. And we don't even care if it's not your birthday!) Haven't heard that in a while. Bleh.
