Chapter 8 - Those Nights
Kendall lay awake in Logan's bed, the boy had begged him to sleep next to him, fearing the nightmares that were sure to come. He let out a small sigh, he hated nights like this. No matter what he tried he couldn't fall asleep. Counting sheep, listening to his iPod, you name it, it didn't work. So here he was staring at the ceiling. Listening to the snores of James, the occasional tossing and mumbles about corndogs from Carlos, and the softer snores of his little brother. He smiled at that. He liked the sound of that. His brother. His brother. He still couldn't believe that he has finally found him. He still feared that any moment he would wake up in his own bed and realize it was all a dream. But usually when he thinks he's dreaming he wakes up, and since that hasn't happened yet it hat to be real… right?
Suddenly he started hearing whimpers from his side, and Logan started to toss around a little. His whimpers became louder and louder. He abruptly shot up with a scream. Kendall wasted no time in wrapping his arms around him and whispering sweet nothings in his ear, trying to comfort him immediately. "You alright Logan?" Carlos asked as he got up and tried not to step on James as he made his way over to Logan's bed. At which James was already standing next to having been woken by the boy's scream. At first though he thought it was Kendall, who he guessed had another dream.
"It's okay, I've got him." Kendall said as he rocked Logan back and forth. "You guys okay in there?" Laura asked from behind the door. "Yeah mom, Just a nightmare is al. We're okay." Logan said. "Oh, okay. If you need something just call me or your father alright honey?" she said. "Okay." Logan said. "Sorry I woke you guys." he said after he heard his mother leave. "It's alright dude. You know I can go days without sleep." Carlos said lightening the mood a little. "Yeah, I have had enough practice with Kendall here." James said with a big smile. "Hey!" Kendall said. James just stuck his tongue out. Kendall choose to ignore his friend and turned to Logan. "I wasn't even sleeping anyway, so it's okay." he told him.
"Can't fall asleep again?" James asked. "Yep, it's one of those nights again." Kendall said. "What do you mean 'Those nights again'?" Carlos asked ever the curious one. "Ever since I turned 8 I've had these random nights where I can't seem to fall asleep." Kendall explained. "So you're not tired at all?" Logan asked this time. "Nope, not even in the slightest." Kendall said.
"Anyway, let's try to get some more sleep before we got to get up again." Logan suggested. "I agree, I need my 8 hours of beauty sleep." James said getting in his makeshift bed. Kendall just rolled his eyes. No matter what he said James won't believe him whenever he says that losing a few hours of sleep won't make you ugly or anything. "G'night guys." Kendall said. "Night." Carlos replied sleepily, already half asleep. Despite being known as the ball of energy, he fell asleep easily. "Night, and good luck Kenny." James replied teasingly. "Good night." Logan murmured and snuggled closer to Kendall. He was still shaken by the dream. And he hoped he wouldn't have another one. "Don't worry. I'll keep the nightmares at bay." Kendall whispered into Logan's ear. And so he got comfortable and set to keep Logan's slumber undisturbed.
A/N: Alright, that was chapter 8. I hope you enjoyed it. I know it's short but I'm kinda out of idea's for this one. I'll try my best to not take too long for Chapter 9 but I can't promise anything. This Chapter was hard to write cuz I ran out of idea's barely half way through. I wanted it to be longer but now I'm stuck on what to do next with the boys after they fell asleep so…. yeah. This'll be it.. for now. Well till next time.
