OMG! Sarah and I are soooo sorry for the lack of updates! We hope you like this chapter :)
They had to wait yet another week before Logan was even ready to start going to school again. Mama Knight, along with Kendall's and Katie's opinions, had decided to transfer Logan to Oakland House. There was no way on Earth that Logan would end up going back to his old school. Luckily, after what had happened, Miss. Healey had been fired and wasn't allowed to work in another school for 10 years. She had been reprimanded so badly, she would probably never get any kind of job ever again and wasn't even allowed back into Minnesota. They were certain over the schooling matter for Logan, but they had yet to tell Logan. They weren't sure how he would react. So, the Saturday after that awful week, they all sat him down in the living room, Mama Knight pulling him onto her lap, so they could explain what was going to happen.
"Logan, baby, you're going to have to start going back to school again soon" she started, stroking back a lock of his gorgeous raven hair that had fallen into his eyes. Logan's heart beat immediately began to speed up, the thought of going back to that place causing memories to whiz past in his head. He started to breathe faster and his distress wasn't unnoticed by the family.
"Hey, Logan, baby, calm down ok? Just breathe in and out. You won't go back to that place, I promise." she smiled as his breaths evened out and continuously stroked his hair to comfort him. He glanced up at her, a slight hope in his big, brown eyes.
"Yeah, you're going to be starting a great new school, that will be better than the old one and it'll help you too Logie" Kendall reassured his little brother.
"Kendall's right, baby. Look" she reached over for the leaflets of the school that were on the table, keeping hold of him all the time. "It's called Oakland House and it's really nice and friendly. You'll get your own teacher and you can learn new things with him or her and then you can also learn with the other boys and girls in your class." she pointed out a few pictures whilst she explained.
"What if they're mean? What if the teachers are like Miss. H-H-H" the little boy had been so petrified by the teacher, he couldn't even say her name.
"I promise you they won't be. They'll all be very nice and you'll have so much fun. There aren't a lot of other kids in your grade, only about 10 and they're all a lot like you." she poked his nose as she said this, making him giggle cutely. "And you know your special doctor, Dr. Snow?" she waited for the little boy in her arms to nod. "Well she works there too. She'll have some more sessions with you at school and the other children will join in with some sessions with you as well. You'll make such good friends, Logie and you'll have a great time. Look at all they have." she gestured to the leaflet. He squealed and pointed.
"A playground! And a swimming pool! And the classroom has loads of toys!" he kicked his legs excitedly, beaming as he turned the pages.
"You bet, Logie. You'll have a great time there. And you can work with Dr. Snow a lot. I wish I could go there!" Katie encouraged her little brother. Logan nodded at her eagerly.
"So, do you want to go, Logie?" Kendall asked the ultimate question. Logan squealed again.
"Yes please!" he giggled as Mama Knight kissed his forehead.
"That's excellent, baby. I'll go let the school know." she said, placing Logan on the couch and heading for the phone. She chuckled as she heard a small voice in the background...
"Wait! Do I have to wear a uniform?"
"I think so, baby." Kendall smiled.
"Oh…" Logan responded shortly, not being exactly sure of what this 'uniform' would look like.
Mama Knight walked back into the room and held a box in her hand. Kendall had a funny feeling it'd be holding the uniform, since he heard his mom speak of how Dr. Snow had sent one over for Logan to try on.
"What's in there?" Logan questioned.
"It's probably the uniform we were talking about." Kendall added.
Mama Knight nodded, "Yup! You should try it on for size, sweetie." She instructed, handing the package over to her youngest son.
Logan took it into the bathroom and slowly opened up the sides. In the box were pants, a shirt, a tie, and a sweater. As he dug further inside he found shoes too. Everything looked so big, but the raven haired boy hoped that it just appeared to be that way.
He pulled down his PJ pants and then put on the khakis instead. They drooped way past his feet and hung down from his tiny waist. He ignored that and grabbed the button down shirt as well. The boy had never really seen many buttons in his life, so this was almost foreign to him. He tried to match the right buttons, but it looked like he didn't do the best job. Both sides of the shirt were lop-sided, but either way his sleeves were too long.
He pulled the sweater on and noticed that the sleeves to that were way too long also. The last thing left were his shoes that surprisingly fit his feet, and a tie. Logan had never seen a tie before…well, he had seen it once, but the young child didn't want to remember that time. He tried to copy what the people in pictures looked like and wrapped the tie around his neck, but it didn't look right.
Logan looked at his reflection and felt tears sting his eyes, "I-I can't even dress myself." He sniffled at the image of a totally messed up outfit.
Kendall made his way into the bathroom after noticing how long his little brother had been in there, "You ok, Logie?"
"N-no…" He cried.
"What's wrong?" Kendall dismissed how incorrect the clothing was put on.
"I-I know that I p-put this on w-wrong…" he sobbed, "I'm-I'm b-bad at everything."
"Don't ever say that, Logan!" Kendall called out, kneeling in front of the small boy and beginning to fix the buttons. The blonde paused to wipe a forming tear from his little brother's eyes.
Once the clothes were fixed, Kendall removed the tie and figured it might be a good idea to teach Logan how to put one on so he'd know in the future.
"Have you ever seen a tie, buddy?" He asked.
"Y-yes…o-once." Tears began to leak from the brunette's eyes. He whimpered, squeezing his eyes shut.
"Logan? What happened?"
Logan snuggled up against Kendall's arm and buried his face into the boy's shirt, "My daddy used one to hurt m-me. I-I thought i-it wouldn't h-hurt too b-bad, b-but he hit m-me with i-it hard."
Kendall ran his fingers through Logan's hair, "It's ok, baby."
Logan shook his head, "N-no…I-I deserved it…d-daddy says I w-was lucky h-he couldn't f-find a b-belt that t-time."
Kendall was unsure of how to respond and could only hug the boy tightly and place a kiss to his forehead.
"Why don't we leave the tie out for now…you can wear it later, Logie Bear." Kendall added.
"T-thank y-you, K-Kenny…t-that m-makes m-me feel b-better." Logan let a tiny, weak smile play on his lips.
How was it? Anyone want us to update more often?
