CHAPTER 12

Ahhh, this chapter is not my best. But I really wanted to post something, I felt like I needed to haha

EPP! There is exactly 17 minutes until my 17th birthday! I'm so excited, not that I get any presents or anything until it becomes light. But technically my birthday starts at 12am I'm so hyped up at the moment I really wanted to post this. So even though it's bad (And mega cliché) I hope you get some sort of enjoyment out of this chapter.

Also for those who like Logan getting bullied and the boys comforting him, you should go check out ,my one shot "Big Time Bullies," I reckon its kind of cool :)

Also again, I apologize in advance for any spelling or grammar errors. It's almost midnight, give me a break ? hahah

Enjoy ! :D

Within a few hours the boys were once again comfortably seated in Logan's hospital room. Logan was laid out on the bed curled up to one side, drifting in and out of sleep. Kendall sat on a chair closest to Logan's bed showing his protective side for the boy. Carlos had occupied the couch to the left and had full control of the TV remote. He switched from a re run of Full House and Wipeout and James was seated to the other side of Logan, his legs propped up on his bed. The 3 boys half watched the TV and half talked about hockey, but fully kept a close eye on Logan as he drifted in and out of sleep. He sometimes contributed words of his wisdom to the conversation, some words however didn't make sense and they were pretty sure he was sleep talking.

"Hi,"

Three boys turned towards the door to revel Mr. Mitchell standing there. He had a look of determination on his face however his hand contradicted him as it shook slightly. Why was he a afraid to approach three teenagers who were barely passing Math?

Because they know more about your own son then you do, the little voice in the back of his head said. He wanted to punch himself, for being so stupid. He had neglected his son for years and the only reason he was pulled out of this rut was because of a determined, blonde 15 year old. Why had it taken him a metaphorical slap in the face to realize how much of a prick he'd been? He was so angry at himself, he didn't want to imagine how mad the three boys were.

"What do you want?" James whispered in a harsh tone.

They all looked to Logan who even despite James best efforts woke up.

"Dad?" Logan asked in a heart-breaking tone.

"Hey Logie," Mr. Mitchell said warmly. He would make Logan trust him, he would make the three teenagers trust him. He wasn't going to leave again, he would prove to them he was going to stick around this time.

"What do you want?" James repeated. By now James, Carlos and Kendall were all standing up, and Logan had sat up in his bed.

"I have something to say," Mr. Mitchell said awkwardly, why did these kids have to be so darn intimidating? He was a grown man for Christ sake.

"And that would be?" Kendall asked.

"Dad," Logan said weakly, he couldn't deal with this again. He didn't want to have to go through the pain of his dad leaving…again.

"No, Logan stop," Mr. Mitchell said, "I'm not leaving."

"Not leaving?" Logan asked slowly. Kendall, James and Carlos eyed him suspiciously.

Mr. Mitchell cleared his throat, "I know you don't trust me," He indicated towards James, Kendall and Carlos, "And I know I've let you down before Loge, but this isn't going to be one of those times. My eyes have really been opened these past few days and I don't like what I've seen. I've called my work and asked them to cut down my hours and no more business trips. I know I'm a little late but I'd really like to make amen's. I'm not going to screw this up this time. I promise."

Logan sat there stunned completely unsure of what to say or do. He looked towards Kendall, James and Carlos who all looked equally as stunned.

Nobody had been expecting that.

Mr. Mitchell turned to Kendall, "And you Kendall, I want to thank you."

"You do?" Kendall asked uncertain.

"Yes you helped pull my head out of my ass. Thank you for helping me realize what I've been missing and how horrible I've actually been. It took a lot of guts and courage to say what you did and for that I respect you." He directed his attention to all the boys now, "I know you've been Logan's best friends for a long time now. It comforts me that even when I wasn't there he had you boys looking out for him. I want you to know that now I will be here for him and you three. It's not going to be the way it was before, and I hope we can start a fresh. I hope you can learn to trust me."

Once again all boys stood there gob smacked.

"Good to know," Carlos said awkwardly after nobody said anything, this resulted in Kendall whacking him on the back of the head.

"Mr. Mitchell…" Kendall started not really sure where he was going, luckily Mr. Mitchell interrupted him.

"Kendall, seriously I don't blame you at all. Don't apologize,"

Kendall didn't really have any intention to apologize, but okay let's go with that.

"I want things to get better. Things are going to be better. So Logan will you forgive me?" Mr. Mitchell asked locking eyes with his son.

Logan shifted very uncomfortable and turned to his friends. Kendall gave him an encouraging smile and James and Carlos just gave him there normal cheery smiles. Maybe everything was looking up.

"Of course," he whispered turning back to his father.

Lucas's face turned into a wide grin, he quickly walked over to his son and embraced him into a warm hug.

Logan breathed in the scent of his father and sighed happily.

*20 minutes latter*

"So wait, you boys almost lit the school on fire?" Mr. Mitchell asked in an amused and concerned tone.

Everyone had now crowded around Logan's hospital bed and were discussing the boy's antics and mischief they got up to.

"It was an accident!" Carlos defended quickly.

"And we were caught before anything bad happened," James assured.

"I wouldn't have let it got that far anyway," Logan said.

Lucas looked concern, "Seriously Mr. Mitchell, we wouldn't have," Kendall smiled.

"Not purposely at least," Carlos added.

Lucas laughed, "Call me Lucas boys. So what's your favorite subject Loge?"

"Science and math's," James answered for him, Logan smiled and nodded.

"Favorite food?" Lucas felt stupid for asking these questions and even stupider that he didn't know the answers. But Logan had insisted he ask whatever, and as long as he wasn't going to leave him he didn't mind answering them.

"Pancakes," Kendall answered.

"Favorite book?"

"Norwegian Wood," James said.

"Favorite animal?"

"White tiger," Carlos said.

"Favorite TV show?"

"Entourage," Kendall answered.

"Favorite superhero?" Lucas was now just asking random questions to see if the boys could answer it. Seeing as they seemed to know Logan as well as themselves.

"Batman," Carlos said without missing a beat.

"Do you answer any of your own questions?" He asked Logan.

"He doesn't," James smirked before Logan could answer.

Logan just grinned, being far too used to his friends by now.

Lucas however seemed confused, "So you guys are really that close?"

Kendall nodded, "Ask us anything about Logan. He's our brother."

Lucas smiled, "What's he allergic too?"

"Easy, strawberries," Carlos said.

Lucas laughed, he was starting to like these boys.

Kendall grinned, "We could tell you anything about him, although he could probably do the same to us."

"Yea, like when you told the girl I liked that I still had nightmares?" Carlos said annoyed directing his attention to Logan.

Logan winced, "I didn't mean to. It just came out in conversation."

"How does that come out in conversation when talking to a pretty girl?" Carlos asked.

"When doesn't it come up when talking to Logan?" James laughed.

"Logan doesn't talk to girls very well," Kendall explained to Lucas.

Logan blushed, "He tends to just ramble on about god knows what," James laughed.

"I do not," he defended blushing deeper.

"I heard you telling a girl the mating habits of a dolphin once," Carlos said.

"Now how does that come up?" Lucas asked, Logan just grinned sheepishly and shrugged.

"That is a good question," Kendall laughed.

Logan just rolled his eyes, "Shut up."

Kendall grinned, "Poor Logie,"

Kendall who was sitting on the bed leant over to Logan and poked him in the side, causing the smaller boy to jump, "Oh yea and his really ticklish."

Logan groaned and Lucas laughed, "Oh really?" He smirked.

"Comes in handy occasionally," James laughed.

Logan rolled his eyes, "Shut up James. At least when someone touch's my hair I don't freak out," he said and pocked his tongue out childishly.

"Hey, I put a lot of effort into my hair, I don't need you three messing it up," James said outraged.

Carlos took this opportunity to quickly ruffle James's hair.

"CARLOS!" James yelled and tackled the boy to the ground. Instantly the boys were wrestling on the ground.

Kendall laughed at his two friends and turned back to Lucas and Logan, "You get used to that."

Logan laughed, "Yea you do."
