Carlos POV

I sat in my room bored. The pool was closed and everyone was out. Well…not James that is, he got sick with the flu (my best guess). And I still smell that awful scent of vomit. It burnt my nose like a flame. Miss Knight is home as well caring for him. I would do it…only if I knew how. You could say I am not the brightest corn in the cob. That sounded weird… oh well. I hear a knock on the door and Mis Knight walking out of James's room to get it. I heard it open and a recognizable voice. It was Tatyana.

"Is Carlos here? I want to talk to him." Tatyana said.

Miss Knight was about to say something when I came out of Logan and mine's room.

"Oh. Hey Tatyana. Watcha doin' here?" I asked walking up to her and Miss Knight.

"You know her?" Miss Knight asked. She must of thought Tatyana was a fan of BTR.

"Yah. She is working for Gustavo like us." I smiled. Miss Knight nodded and walked back to Kendall's and James's room then closed the door behind her.

Tatyana walked into the room and looked at the door Miss Knight walked in.

"She seems like she is in a hurry." She told me.

"James is sick so…she does that a lot." I shrug walking over to our couch. Tatyana saw the swirly slide and smile.

"What is that thing?" She asked me pointing to the swirly slide.

My mouth drops open and my eyes get large.

"You don't know what a swirly slide is?" I asked with huge puppy dog eyes.

"That's what it is call. I don't really know what a slide is. Cute puppy dog eyes." She smiled into my eyes. I snap out of my shock and realize Miss Knight walk out of James's and Kendall's room.

"Carlos I need you to take care of James while I'm gone. I have a job request and I am going for it." Miss Knight said picking up her purse in a hurry.

"Alright. But I have to leave in 2 hours for a competition Gustavo is having. Of who will sing with Tatyana." I said pointing to the other Latino girl.

"I'll be home by then. Bye." Kendall's mom fled out of the apartment closing the door behind her.

I just realized something. She trusts me to take care of James? Doesn't she know I can barley even care for a cat? I nearly killed Gustavo's bald cat when me and the guys watched the mansion.

"My guess is your babysitting your sick friend now? Do you even know how to care for a sick person?" Tatyana asked me.

"Yah and…does caring for a dying dog count?" I asked stupidly.

"No. I guess I have to, don't I?" Tatyana rolled her eyes with her warm smile still glued to her face.

I chuckle softly with my hand scratching my head.

"Come on." She took hold of my hand and dragged me to James's room. And once we were two feet from the door I could smell the scent of his vomit and sweat. I shudder unnoticeably.

We walk into the stench filled room to see James lying in bed with his covers up to his chin and his head rested perfectly on his pillow.

Tatyana lets go of my arm and walks to the side of James's bed. She takes one look at him leans a little and feels his forehead.

She quickly takes her hand away and looks at me.

"Who ever that lady was. She does not know how to care for someone sick properly. He has a fever of 105." Tatyana told me with a shrew face.

"That is Kendall's, the blonde head, mom. How can you tell?" I said acting all smart like Logan. Tatyana didn't answer me but kept her focus on sicky James.

The beautiful Latino girl looks back at James with a small frown. I walk to her side and look down at James. His eyes slowly open and he groans closing them again then curls up in a ball.

Tatyana pulls James onto his back straight. His eyes fly open at him getting placed in that position.

James quickly turns his head to see Tatyana by his side.

"What are you doing here?" James asked weakly.

"Caring for you since helmet head over here doesn't know how to." She smiles at him.

He looks at her oddly.

"When did you start becoming nice? And how did you know where we live?" The sick teen asked her with what sounded like a frog in his throat.

"I was always nice. But you guys were very irritating so I was mean. And I live next to you and was awoken from your coughing. You're really loud you know that?" Tatyana giggled and James could not help but blush.

"Carlos go make yourself useful and grab a warm watered cloth and a icepack." Tatyana ordered me. I nod and flee out of the room towards the freezer and grabbed an ice pack then ran back to the room into the bathroom that was connected to James's and Kendall's room. I opened one of the cabinets and took out a cloth and ran it under luke-warm water then went back to the room to see James leaning over the bucket beside his bed vomiting and Tatyana rubbing his back talking in her sisters language.

I walk around the bed then handed the cloth and icepack to Tatyana when she stood straight up after James finished.

Eww that smell is horrible…..yucky. But I can't complain. My best bud is sick .

She put the icepack down on the little table next to his bed and then the wet cloth on his forehead. To me she acted motherly, but I guess all girls get like that when someone is sick, hurt, or something else which I have no clue cause I am not thinking at the moment but admiring her. She pulls out a little towel from her purse and wipe James's mouth and I bet he must be thinkin' :

'wat the hell you doin'?' cuz no one ever touched his face….well I do when we fight.

Instead of saying something mean and hurtful he says this:

"Thanks Tatyana." He smiled up at her with his bright smile but pale face.

"You can call me Tati, which means caring in my sisters language." Tatyana smile at him. James nodded with his smile still on his face.

"That makes sense." James nodded softly. I grin at my best fighting partner and hear the door to the apartment open.

I leave James and Tatyana alone, so she could care for him, to go see who came in. As I guessed it was Kendall and Logan. They were talking about hockey or what not.

"Hey Carlos. Howsa James doin'?" Kendall asked.

"Not well. He is even weaker and sicker than this morning. Vomiting more, temperature rising, and sneezing. It was 102 this morning and bumped up to 105." I said with a sad frown.

"How do you know this? You can barley even tell time." Logan was surprised.

"Oh! Tatyana is here. She lives next door and heard him." I said.

"She is? So she is caring for him and not you?" Kendall asked.

"Yah pretty much. She is actually doing well…. I learned a new word in her language!" I said jumping up and down, my short black hair waving slowly.

"What?" Logan asked pulling out a little notebook.

"Tali. It means caring." I grinned.

"That's great Carlos. I'm gonna go check on James." Kendall smiled weakly at me and walked to the room he shares with James.

Tatyana's POV

I feel sooo bad for James. I mean ever since I've been here, he's vomited about 10 times! He complains of his head and obviously stomach and his temperature in rising rapidly. I watched Carlos leave the room and shrug. I looked back at James whose eyes began to close.

"You need sleep. The more sleep the faster this will pass." I said replacing the cloth with the icepack and placing it on his head. I tucked his covers back up to his chin where before was down to her stomach and kissed his forehead softly. I saw him blush red and I laugh. Foot steps lingered near and soon Big nose and Smarty walked into the room along with the helmet head I like.

"How is he doing?" Big nose-Kendall- asked me.

"He is just falling asleep. Poor kid he has a huge virus that is making him very ill. It has been like 7 minutes and he has puked about 11 times." I said to them with my arms crossed.

Kendall and Logan looked at me in shock that I was caring about James when they know I should be with Carlos which I am in a way…..I guess.

"What? Do you not think I'd be evil all the time? I flipped him over 3 days ago cause all of you got on my nerves." I stated with a serious glare.

"Yah…but we don't do that anymore…I guess….kiss her Carlos!" Kendall and Logan pushed Carlos towards me causing him to slam into me and both of us fall to the ground then the two syco's ran out of the room. Apparently Carlos was on top of me trying to take in what just happened. And I was under him thinking the same. We both snap out of our thoughts and Carlos flies off of me as quick as he could.

"Sorry…the guys….their…sorry." He apologized and gave me a hand to stand up.

"It's alright. Come on we don't want to wake James." I said keeping hold of Carlos's hand and walking out of the room. We saw Kendall and Logan laughing while talking to each other.

I ehemed and they smiled at us scared of me. Why wouldn't they be frightened of me? I flipped over there tallest, sick pretty boy James.

"Why did you do that?" I asked in my angry voice like I did when I was mad at James.

"Ahh….umm…." they staggered with bright laughable smiles scratching their heads.

"You yelled 'kiss her Carlos!'. That is wrong. We're not even dating." Carlos stated with his actual serious face on which is kind of funny looking. He picks up his helmet from the table next to us, put it on, taps it twice and charges at the two dumbos. I laughed as I watched the two dumbies scream as Carlos head butts them. I look franticly around for an extra helmet and spy a red one. I smile and run to grab it. I put it on, tapped it like Carlos, and charged at the three fighting boys. I screamed like a man sadly and jumped onto Kendall's back.

The fight goes on for a long while. And I know Carlos is the one for me even if he is dumb. Haha!

Good, bad, funny? Please R&R
