Thankfully, Kendall was released from the hospital the next morning. However, there were strict, specific instructions as to what he could and could not do. Camille promised the doctor that none of them would step foot in that hospital until Kendall and James' checkup in two weeks. Camille was always true to her word, and she was determined to keep this promise, even if it meant using her scarves to tie Kendall to his bed for an entire fortnight. Fortunately, James had not been a patient this time, so he could team up with Camille to help Kendall to the car. The muscular brunette gently wrapped his uninjured arm around Kendall's chest and underneath his arms. "You doing okay?" James asked, easily supporting most of his lithe friend's weight. Kendall nodded, still looking a little pale. Camille grabbed the bag that held Kendall's clothes from the day of the concert, and walked behind the two boys. Kendall was walking extremely carefully and slowly, and that was perfectly fine with Camille. Maybe ripping open your stitches in a severely painful way, bleeding all over your friends, and passing out on a performance stage in front of hundreds of people had taught Kendall a lesson. Wait a second, this was the same guy who stuck dynamite in a hotel pool to try to make it into a hot tub! No, he would never learn his lesson. Thankfully, the three of them made it to the car without disaster striking, they bid the doctor adieu, and headed home.
Due to the lack of warning for yesterday's unfortunate event, there was no exciting surprise party awaiting for them at the apartment this time. However, they did have plans to spend the entire day loafing on the couch with several boxes of pizza - which was just as cool. When they entered 2J, Katie was waiting for them. The three teens stood in the doorway for moment. Katie walked carefully over to Kendall and stood in front of him, and James removed his arm from around Kendall's chest for minute. The brunette preteen stared up at her brother sadly, silently asking permission, knowing that Kendall was fragile. The past few weeks had been difficult for the young girl, but having to watch her brother's accident yesterday had devastated her. Kendall opened his arms up and Katie rushed over to him, gently clinging to him. Kendall rested his head on top of Katie's and wrapped his arms around her small frame. "I'm okay" he whispered, comfortingly rubbing his sister's back. A few seconds later, Katie pulled away and nodded, regaining her composure. Camille went into the kitchen to get plates while James helped Kendall get seated on the couch. Katie came walking into the kitchen, her usual devious appearance still completely gone. Now she was just looking at Camille, her brown eyes large with worry. "What's going on, Katie?" Camille asked, curious as to why Katie still looked so distraught. The young girl jerked her head over to where James was standing against the back of a dining room chair; he didn't look terribly upset anymore, but he looked like he was still trying to recover. "Is he going to be okay?" Katie whispered. Camille knew just how much Katie cared for all of the boys, all four of them were big brothers to her. "Oh, yeah. He'll be fine, just give him some time." Camille replied reassuringly. However, Katie was still staring worriedly at James. Normally, this would confuse people, but women had the uncanny ability to know what their female friends and family were thinking. Putting a hand on Katie's shoulder, Camille bent down and whispered, "Go ahead, Katie. I know what you're thinking, and he could definitely use one". Katie glanced up at her, still unsure. Camille smiled and gently pushed Katie in the direction of James, watching as the young girl approached James. Suddenly, Katie wrapped her arms around James' waist and hugged him. A look of surprise crossed James' face, but then he smiled softly and gently reciprocated the hug. Camille smiled at them and came out of the kitchen with the plates and cups. A small smile still on his face, James ruffled Katie's hair and they walked over to the couch together. Logan, Carlos, and Mrs. Knight were quickly seated with everyone, and the relaxing day officially began.
The pizzas were devoured, a movie marathon was started, and everyone was contented. Kendall sighed and stretched his long legs out on the couch, resting his head in Camille's lap. Camille smiled and combed her fingers through his soft, blonde hair. "How are you feeling?" she asked. Kendall exhaled deeply, "Tired and sore." he replied. Camille nodded and continued to play with his hair. "We'll go to bed soon." she said. Kendall opened his eyes and smiled at her, "Okay" he whispered. Camille grinned back and then glanced around the apartment. Katie was curled up with Mrs. Knight on the other side of the couch, and James looked extremely enthralled in the awesome action of "Transformers". Both Carlos and Logan looked quite worn out due to the recent happenings, but they, too, seemed to be enjoying the movie. For the first time in quite awhile, Camille could relax and pay attention to a movie. When the movie had ended, around 7:00pm, everyone started to get ready for bed. Not only was everybody tired, but the early bedtime was an order from Mrs. Knight…and Camille. "I'll be right in." Camille said to Kendall as Logan and Carlos helped him to his bedroom. Camille quickly brushed her teeth, and changed into pajama shorts and a tee shirt, eager to just get some sleep. After saying "goodnight" to Mrs. Knight, Logan, and Carlos, Camille headed towards Kendall's bedroom. "Wait, Camille!" Katie called from the kitchen. Confused, Camille turned around and walked back into the kitchen. "Yes?" she asked. Katie ran over to her and wrapped her arms around Camille's waist, hugging her tightly. Camille hugged the little girl back, eyebrows furrowing in confusion as to why Katie was holding onto her for this long. Several seconds later, the young girl let go and looked up at Camille. "Thank you for taking such good care of my big brother. I love him…so much and it means a lot to me that I know you will always be there for him. Thank you for that." Katie said. Camille stood there for moment, speechless. "Thank you, Katie. I-I don't really know what to say. I appreciate your trust in me and I will always be here…for all of you." she replied. Katie smiled and hugged her once more. "Goodnight, Camille." she whispered. "Goodnight, Katie." Camille replied, still dumbfounded by the young girl's kind words. After regaining her composure, she began to head back towards Kendall's bedroom. "Hey, Camille?" came a voice from behind her. She turned around and saw James standing outside of his bedroom, wearing a pair of sweat pants and a muscle shirt. "What's up?" Camille asked, going over to stand closer to him. James chewed on his lower lip, obviously nervous about something. He ran a hand through his dark hair and just stared at her. "Um…thank you… for everything. I don't think I would have been able to get through all of this without you." he said softly. Camille stepped over to him and hugged him gently. The enormous height difference caused her to just be hugging his chest, but it was still a hug nonetheless. James wrapped both arms her, "Thank you, Camille." he said, again. Camille pulled away from him and smiled, "No problem. I will always be here for you guys." she replied. James nodded and returned the smile, "Goodnight" he said. "'Night, James" Camille replied, and she stepped inside Kendall's bedroom.
Kendall was already lying in bed, now changed into a pair of gray pajama pants and…well, yeah - that was it. Camille flipped off the light and climbed in next to him. She sighed, extremely comfortable as she got underneath the cool sheets and snuggled up against Kendall. "Hey, there. How are you doing?" Kendall asked, putting one arm around Camille's shoulders. "Quite comfy, now, and ready for some sleep. How about you?" she replied, looking up at him. "Same here." he said, smiling down at her. "I love you, Camille, so much." he said. Camille instantly got butterflies in her stomach and she grinned at him. "I love you, too." she replied. Kendall kissed her, long and passionately. Every smile, every loving whisper, and every kiss proved his strong feelings for her. There were no words to fully explain just how much they loved each other and there never would be. Camille pulled away and smiled at Kendall before lying back down against his bare chest. Kendall and Camille slept peacefully throughout the entire night, and that night was the first night in two weeks that James didn't have a nightmare.
