I DO NOT OWN BIG TIME RUSH.
Tirexia
Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, his mom, and sister thought he was better... or at least getting better. Well, Kendall did feel better. Until one day…
Since the guys had the day off, they decided to spend it by the pool. It had been a full week since Kendall recovered from his surgery and he couldn't wait to get back to hanging out with his friends. The guys were walking to the pool when Kendall felt a wave of dizziness and nausea hit him. Logan noticed this and asked, "Kendall, you all right, buddy? You don't look so good. You look like you're about to…" He didn't even get to finish his sentence when vomit exploded out of Kendall's mouth.
"Whoa, buddy. You're okay." James scooped Kendall up and went to their apartment.
When they got to 2J, Mrs. Knight wasn't there, nor was Katie; so that left the guys to take care of Kendall. James placed him on the couch and asked him how he felt while Logan took his temperature. "I don't feel good." Logan pointed toward their room and James nodded. He picked Kendall up and went to his and Logan's room. He set Kendall on his bed and Logan came in.
"Logie, I feel sick!"
"You got that right. Your temperature is 103.2. Get some rest, okay?" Kendall nodded slightly and pulled the covers over him. Logan left the door open a crack in case he needed them.
"Why can't Kendall just get better already?" asked Carlos.
"I don't know why he keeps getting sick. When did all this start?"
"Oh, when he passed out at the studio. Why?"
"Didn't we forget that he has a condition called Tirexia?"
"Right…" replied James and Carlos together.
"You guys forgot he had it, didn't you?"
"No!" Logan gave them a look and they hung their heads. "Yes."
He rolled his eyes. "Do you at least remember what it is?"
"Yes!" He gave them another look and again they hung their heads. "No."
Logan reminded them of what it is and what it does to him. "Sometimes, Kendall passes out and gets really sick to the point where he sometimes can't breathe." James and Carlos shuddered at the thought of the first time Kendall couldn't breathe and was diagnosed.
Flashback
Kendall was in his room sleeping when he felt a pain in his chest. He gripped it and Logan heard him trying to gasp for air. He shot up and immediately ran over to Kendall. "KENDALL! Kendall, easy, buddy! Breathe!" Logan grabbed Kendall's inhaler from his nightstand and put it against his mouth. Kendall took in a big puff, but it didn't seem to help any because Kendall was still having trouble breathing. "Wait here, buddy." He ran to find James and Carlos. "Guys! Help!" When James and Carlos came into their room, he then ran to Mrs. Knight's room. She was sound asleep when Logan yelled, "MRS. KNIGHT! WAKE UP! KENDALL'S HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING!" She shot right up and ran right to his and Logan's room.
When she got there, James was rubbing circles on his back. "Kendall, Kendall! Baby, calm down! Breathe."
James said, "Follow my breathing and try to match it." He drew in some breaths and Kendall tried matching it, but he failed.
Logan came running in with Katie and she was yelling, "Breathe for me, big brother! Breathe!"
Kendall passed right out due to the lack of oxygen. Mrs. Knight said, "James, call 911! I'll take him." He handed Kendall to her and did what he was told.
He hung up and said, "They'll be here as quick as they can."
A few minutes later, an ambulance was in front of the Palm Woods. The paramedics quickly got out the stretcher and ran to the elevators and up to 2J. They burst through 2J, placed an unconscious Kendall on the stretcher, and put an oxygen mask over his face. After that was done, the two paramedics rushed him out of the apartment. The remaining one was about to leave when Logan asked, "Can we ride with him?"
"One of you can."
"Logan, you can ride with him."
"Are you sure, Mrs. Knight? You are his mom."
"I'm sure. Go. We'll catch up."
"Okay." The paramedics and Logan raced out of 2J and out of the hotel. The paramedics lifted Kendall into the ambulance and quickly drove to the hospital, which was a mile up the road.
At the hospital, Kendall was rushed to the emergency room. Logan's dad was passing by when he noticed his son. "Hey, Logan. What're you doing here?"
"I'm here with Kendall."
"What'd you guys do now?"
"Nothing. Kendall's having trouble breathing."
"Oh no. Is he all right?"
Just then, he was called. "Dr. Mitchell, to the E.R. Dr. Mitchell, to the E.R."
"That's probably Kendall. I gotta go, kiddo." He kissed Logan's head and then headed to the E.R.
Mrs. Knight, Katie, and the guys came rushing through the doors. "Where is he? Is he okay?"
"I don't know, Mrs. Knight. He was just brought in, but I hope he's okay. We'll just have to sit and wait." They all took a seat in some chairs. James and Carlos were playing with the toys like they always do when they're at the hospital waiting.
A little while later, Kendall was called. "Kendall Knight?"
They all stood up. Logan asked, "How is he?"
Dr. Mitchell replied, "He's fine now. We've got him stable now. It was a panic attack. We did some blood work, and it seems that he has a condition called Tirexia."
"What's that?" asked Katie.
"It's a condition where someone gets sick to the point where they have trouble breathing."
"How do people get it?" asked Logan.
"It's not a common condition, but some people develop it when they get their tonsils out. It affects people at different ages, though."Mrs. Knight started crying and thought back to when Kendall got his tonsils out and about his asthma.
"There's no need to cry, Jennifer. It can be treated."
"It's just that, he has asthma too. Will this condition affect it?"
"Well, I can't really say because I've never actually heard of a patient with asthma and this condition, so we'll have to see."
"Can we go see him?" asked James.
"Sure. Room 332. I'll take you there."
Mrs. Knight said, "Thanks."
Dr. Mitchell led them to Kendall's room. They all went in and saw Kendall sleeping. He woke up when he heard footsteps. When he woke up, he was met by his mom, sister, friends, and Logan's dad. Mrs. Knight started stroking her son's hair. "Hey, honey. How're you feeling?"
Kendall said in a cracked voice, "Better."
"Good. The medication's working," said Dr. Mitchell.
"What happened? I remember waking up not feeling right and then... nothing."
"You were having trouble breathing," said Carlos.
"I was?"
Mrs. Knight replied, "Yes, you were. You gave us a real scare, honey."
"I'm sorry."
"Oh," she started as she hugged him, "it's not your fault. You have a condition called Tirexia."
"What's that?" Dr. Mitchell explained to him what he explained to the others. "Will I be okay?"
"With the help of your family, friends, and proper medication, you should be fine."
"Oh, good." He sighed in relief that he was going to be all right.
Dr. Mitchell wrote out the prescription for Kendall's medicine. "I'm prescribing Axeine. That should help keep it under control. Just give it to him whenever he gets sick."
Mrs. Knight replied, "Okay, Lucas. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I've gotta go and see another patient now. Bye." He then left the room.
Kendall got to go home the next day and he kept his condition under control. For now.

TIREXIA ISN'T A REAL DISEASE. I MADE IT UP… SO DON'T GO LOOKING IT UP.
