I know I say this about every chapter, I know I do but I really don't like this one. This story is starting to get repetitive think, I just can't seem to let go of it though. So a massive thank you to everyone who has stuck with me throughout the story, I'm going to keep continuing it hoping lightning will strike me and I'll have a wave of creative boost for the next chapter, or at least a fantastic way to finish it. So I'm sorry it took so long and I'm sorry if I disappointed anyone with this chapter. The next one will be way better I promise! And I have a great idea for a one-shot that came to me while working yesterday, and I've recently written a one-shot titled 'cripple' that all you Jamie lovers should defiantly check out.

"Depression is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that you have been strong for too long." – unknown.

"No way, that's bull,"

"No it's really not James,"

"Yes it is, your just bias,"

"Do you even know what bias means?"

"Yes I do thanks Kendall," James pouted, "Okay what about Dak Zevon?"

"No, just no James,"

Currently James and Kendall were arguing about who James could beat in a fight, so far he would be beaten by Zac Efron, Nick Jonas and Jesse McCartney.

"I could totally take Dak Zevon," James stated.

"No you couldn't James," Kendall said.

"He might, because Dak probably wouldn't want his hair ruined," Carlos said who was only half listening to their conversation and half flicking through channels on TV.

"What about that guy from Victorious, the good looking one?" James asked.

"Which one?" Kendall asked bewildered.

"Beck?" Carlo asked.

Kendall threw a pillow at him, "How do you even know that?"

Carlos just shrugged, "I donno,"

"Yea okay Beck, what about him?" James asked,

"Nah, I don't think so," Kendall said seriously.

"Maybe you could take the guy with the puppet?" Carlo suggested.

"Or maybe that wimp from Icarly," Kendall said.

"The main guy?" Carlos asked.

"Yea him,"

Carlos studied James, "Nah I don't think so."

"Yea that guys not that bad, he hangs out with two cute chicks all day. He's doing well for himself," Kendall said.

"Okay stop!" James said clearly annoyed, "You're telling me I can't take any of those guys?"

"No," Carlos said,

"We said you could take the guy with the puppet," Kendall smirked.

James groaned and then proceed to beat Kendall with his pillow.

"Guys, shhhh," Carlos said after a few minutes. He pointed to Logan and James instantly stopped hitting Kendall. Logan was lying on his side curled up asleep.

It was 12 in the afternoon and the three boys were up discussing who James could beat in a fight because nothing was on TV, while Logan who was up coughing all night was still asleep.

"You're going to wake him up," Carlos rolled his eyes and went back to the TV.

James and Kendall smiled sheepishly, "Whoops."

There was silence for a few minutes until James broke it, "I'm bored."

"Me too," Carlos said.

There was silence again for a moment until James said, "So I really couldn't take those guys?"

Kendall rolled his eyes and hit James with a pillow, "Is it a fight or a pretty-off?" Carlos asked.

"Which one do I have a better chance in?" James asked.

"Well your too pretty to win a fight, you would be protecting your face too much," Kendall stated.

"You might win a pretty-off if it was against the Icarly guy, or maybe the Jonas brother," Carlos said.

"Probably not Dak Zevon or Zac Efron though," Kendall laughed.

James pouted and crossed his arms over his chest, the boys went quiet again while they watched TV. It wasn't really watching though because Carlos kept flicking channels from Big bang theory, charmed, Twilight and 'Live from the red carpet'.

It had been officially 6 days since Logan had become sick, and was slowly getting better. He hadn't had any more nightmares, was no longer throwing up and his dad hadn't called again since the incident. He was however still coughing, had a runny nose and sleeping a lot. But it was defiantly an improvement which everyone was happy about.

"Okay if you change the channel one more time, I will kick you!" James exclaimed.

"So you would like me to leave it on the red carpet?" Carlos smirked.

"As long as it doesn't bloody change again then yes!"

"I disagree and don't want to watch the red carpet, even though I'm sure its just thrilling." Kendall said sarcastically.

"Lets wake Logan up, it's almost lunch anyway," James said.

"We can't, he was up all night coughing," Kendall said.

James groaned, "I know. So was I."

Carlos laughed, "When's he going to get better?" He asked.

Kendall just shrugged, "I don't remember him ever being this sick." Carlos said.

"Yea, he doesn't really. But I guess eventually your body just shuts down. It wouldn't have shut down as much if he had told us straight away though," Kendall said.

"I am so going to kick his ass when he gets better," James mumbled.

Carlos and Kendall laughed.

"No seriously. If the positions were switched he would kick our ass for not telling him we were sick. He'd be so mad,"

"He has a point," Carlos agreed, "Remember when I got sick with a cold but played hockey that one time? When he found out he went nuts at me about how I could have gotten really sick or hurt during the game."

"Yea," Kendall said, "But Logan doesn't think like you and I do."

"Well as soon as he's better I'm going to chase him and hold him down until he promises to never do something stupid like this again," James said.

"Hey boys is Logan up yet?" Mama Knight came in and asked.

"Not yet, he was up pretty late coughing though." Kendall explained.

Mama Knight went up to Logan and gently stroked his face, "Aww poor Logan,"

There was no way Logan would let Mama Knight this close to him on normal circumstances, let alone let her stroke his check in the motherly affectionate way she was currently.

"He's a little warm," She stated concerned. She moved the back of her hand to his forehead and frowned.

"I thought he was getting better?" Carlos asked.

"Oh he is, I'm sure its nothing," Kelly said.

"Yea moms just over reacting, he's going to get better soon and she doesn't want to stop looking after him," Kendall laughed.

"Hey," Kelly said, "I'm not that bad."

"You kind of are mom,"

"Just a little Mama Knight," Carlos agreed.

"Well fine, just shoot me for being a caring mother who wants to look after her boys," Kelly surrendered.

"Its okay Mama Knight, just know that Logan would never let you that close to him if he was awake," James laughed.

She just laughed, "I know, now look after him while I get the thermometer,"

Kendall nodded while she went to get it, "We should really tease him about this latter," James stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"I agree, photographic evidence?" Kendall asked.

"Totally," Carlos agreed and sat up on Kendall and James's bed.

Kendall got out his phone but before he could take the photo, Logan groggily said, "Take the photo and I'll throw your phone out the window."

Kendall almost dropped his phone in surprise, "I thought you were asleep?"

He groaned and slowly sat up, "You thought wrong then didn't you."

"How long have you been awake?" James asked.

"Don't ask," He replied. Truthfully he had been awake since the fight on being bored, but he was too embarrassed to get up when Mrs. Knight came in.

"So Logie, how you feeling?" James asked in a far too cheerful voice.

"Logan your awake good! Put this under your tongue I need to check your temperature," Mama Knight said and before he could say anything stuck the thermometer in his mouth.

Logan looked helplessly to the guys, to which they just laughed at his position.

"Suck it up Logie," James laughed.

Logan just pouted and crossed his arms over his chest, "Oh stop pouting Logan, I just need to make sure your temperature is okay," Mrs. Knight teased which only made Logan blush.

Truthfully Logan was feeling a lot better, he wasn't throwing up anymore and could now sleep through the night without having nightmares. For that he was very glad, his dad had officially stopped entering his dreams.

The thermometer beeped and Mrs. Knight took it from Logan, "Okay its good, your temp is fine."

Logan smiled, "I could have told you that."

Mrs. Knight rolled her eyes, "Yes well if you think I'm letting you up yet you've got another thing coming mister."

Logan's mouth dropped in shock, "What why?"

"Because your temperature may be fine, but you were still up coughing all night, you haven't eaten nearly as much as you should and you're still stuffy I can hear it in your voice. It seems as if this isn't just your ever day cold, but it doesn't seem to be much worse. However this is going to take more than a few days to get over, so park your butt down on that couch, cover yourself up with the blanket and I will get you some soup," Mrs. Knight finished calmly.

Logan sat there in shock for a moment taking in what Mrs. Knight had just said to him, did he just get yelled at for being sick? Or something, he wasn't sure why she was so hysterical.

James, Kendall and Carlos however started laughing the moment Mrs. Knight left the room.

"Dude you just got burnt by my mom," Kendall laughed.

Logan pouted, "Shut up, I don't see what the big deal is."

Kendall rolled his eyes, "Yea you probably wouldn't."

Later that day Carlos and James went home to go see their parents and confirm that they were in fact alive and Mrs. Knight had not kidnapped them.

Logan and Kendall were left in the Knight house, Mrs. Knight had cleaned up the living room but had forcefully made Logan stay on the couch with his pillow and blanket despite his protests.

"When is your mom going to ease up?" Logan asked desperately.

Kendall chuckled and turned to Logan, "When you haven't coughed once in at least 8 hours and you don't sound funny. Which I'm sure is a few days off from you man."

Logan sighed, it was true that he was still coughing and driving everyone insane. But the coughing he could handle, the fact that his nose was all stuffy and his voice sounded funny was pissing him off. He sounded like…like he had a cold. Exactly like he didn't want to.

"This sucks, how long do colds usually last?" Logan asked.

"Well they usually last less when the patient is not reluctant to get help."

"Ha ha, your funny. Have you considered becoming a comedian?"

"Sarcasm is not a pretty feature on you Logan."

Logan rolled his eyes, "I'm serious Kendall."

"So am I Logan,"

"You're an Idiot Kendall," Logan huffed.

Kendall smirked, "Chill Logan, your going to get better you just have to…chill."

Logan groaned, "Im sick of chilling, I'm over being sick. I'm over being looked after. I love your mom but I don't want this any more. I want to go back to my house and be healthy, I want my dad to go back to pretending to care about me and it not mattering either way because I don't need him."

Logan was slowly starting to break down and almost stared hyperventilating. Kendall quickly switched couches and started to rub Logans back slowly. It wasn't about being sick, and it wasn't about having people look after him, well it was a tiny bit. But it was mainly because his dad wasn't doing it. Or his mom for that matter.

Logan was used to his dad, he had come to accept that. But when he was sick everything changed. He didn't need his dad when he was healthy, or when he was at school. But when he was sick it was different, he needed him. He wanted his dad around, he wanted someone who would always be around to take care of him. He was sick of constantly doing it by himself.

"Shh, it's okay Logan," Kendall soothed, "Its okay,"

"No its not," Logan said, he was trying his best not to cry. He had done enough crying over his dad. He wasn't about to do more.

"Logan you've got me, and you've got James and Carlos. My mom and Katie. Hundreds of people who would die for you,"

"Its not the same," Logan said into Kendall's shoulder.

"I know," Kendall said as he continued to rub Logans back, "But its better. We will never leave you. We'll always be here for you. You just have to let us in,"

Logan nodded and lifted his head of Kendalls shoulder, "I'm sorry."

Kendall shrugged, "Don't be, we all break down eventually."

"I didn't want to admit it, but everything just sucks."

"I know, but don't worry. You always have us."

Yes, well…I'm sorry. That's all I can really say.
