Chapter 26

For two weeks, Logan worked really hard. To pay for Kendall's medical bills and his father's and he was saving up to get new hearing aids for Kendall. Logan couldn't seem to find them no matter how hard he, Kendall, Carlos or James looked. It previously rained so Logan knew those hearing aids were done. Kendall wouldn't eat, sleep or laugh. He would only cry. Logan felt his heart break day after day. Sometimes Logan would wake up to Kendall sitting up, back against the headboard, sobbing.

Logan's father was fading, fast. Sometimes he moved his fingers when Logan talked to him but the doctors just called that 'involuntary movement.' Logan tried really hard not to break. He had a lot of stress between paying medical bills, electricity, phone, water and mortgage plus taking care of a depressed eighteen year old almost made Logan wanna collapse of the pressure. But he had to do this.

Kendall was currently sleeping on Logan's chest, one of the few and rare moments Logan had with him after work. Kendall hasn't slept for more than an hour, always waking up and crying again. Logan noticed Kendall's pale body and how his ribs were pressing into his arm. Kendall definitely lost weight but he refused to eat, only getting away with amounts of food barely able to keep an ant alive. Logan looked tiredly down at Kendall. Just as he did, Kendall began to whimper and tried to pull out of Logan's grasp. Logan pressed his lips to his ear and shushed him several times until Kendall groaned and fell limp once again onto Logan.

Logan calculated all the money he'd made so far and it was barely enough to pay the first of the medical bills let alone pay for new hearing aids but he had to fight until he won the war and not just the battle.

Kendall shifted again and this time no amount of shushing would put him to sleep again. Kendall's collarbone protruded so much it looked like it hurt. Logan winced quickly getting up to get Kendall at least a granola bar.

He sat down on the couch next to Kendall and opened the granola bar. He put it on Kendall's lips but they wouldn't accept it.

'Please? Kendall you've lost a lot of weight.' Logan signed getting into sign language. Kendall only shook his head, getting up to relieve himself. Logan sighed heavily feeling, rejected, broken, lost and hopeless all at once. His tears fell over and he cried. Kendall was getting worse by the second as well as his father, he still had to pay for Kendall's first set of hearing aids and a second pair, he had bills each late by two months and Carlos dried up his and James' credit card loaning money.

Kendall came out and found Logan crying. His eyes gained some of his color and he sat next to Logan, hugging him. Logan just continued to cry. There was so much to do, and worry about. He was practically drowning in debt and he didn't have a life jacket.

Kendall took the granola bar from Logan taking a bite. He tapped Logan and showed him.

"Logie, you don't have to cry. I ate some." Kendall said. He took Logan's hands out of his eyes and kissed him. "Kendall's sorry I made you sad, Logie I'll be a good boy." Logan couldn't help but smile at how sweet Kendall was being. If only he knew how much weight he had to carry.

Logan grabbed his chin and kissed him softly. Logan felt his whole arm tremble. He's been worrying so much about how strong Kendall was he wasn't worried about his own strength. Logan couldn't even remember when he last drank and cup of water or slept without interruption.

'We'll make it and don't you ever think any of this is your fault.' Logan signed furiously fast. Kendall nodded. Kendall continued to eat his granola bar and Logan couldn't have seen a more beautiful sight at the moment.

"I don't want you to go to work anymore, Logie." Kendall said putting his head into Logan's lap. Logan sighed.

'I have to, baby. I need the extra money. In fact I'll be working all month.' Kendall whimpered in protest.

"But I need you." He said softly.

'I need you more, so that's why I don't want you to end up on the streets.' Logan said. Kendall nodded. Logan bent down and kissed Kendall again.

The phone rang and Logan hesitantly answered it, fearful of getting bad news like he had for the past two weeks.

"Is this Mr. Logan Mitchell?" the deep voice asked. Logan nodded as if the person could see him but realized the error of his way and said yes.

"I'm calling on behalf of your father, he's woken up…but we don't know how much time he has."

That's all Logan heard. He dropped the phone and it startled Kendall and Logan hunched over, almost crushing Kendall who was on his lap. He was overcome with happiness, surprise, fear and all the emotions that come with it.

He quickly picked up the phone where the man was repeating 'hello?'

"Yes, I'll be right there in half an hour." Logan said. The man agreed and Logan hung up, standing up.

"Kendall hop into the shower, it's my dad…he's getting better." Logan signed quickly. Kendall got up, already taking off his shirt. Logan inwardly gasped at Kendall's ribs. They looked like they were going to rip his stomach.

"I'll buy you a burger. You're losing too much weight." Logan signed still in a trance. Kendall nodded and said "Okay" softly. He hugged his body before disappearing into the bathroom.

Logan followed and Kendall was already taking off his pants. Kendall looked…dejected. Logan wondered why.

'Kendall are you okay?' Logan signed. Kendall shook his head without saying anything. Logan signed, 'What happened?'

Kendall grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist before slumping onto the toilet seat.

"Do you think, I'm gross because I'm too skinny, Logie?" he asked once again wrapping his thin, pale arms around his matching body.

'Never…sometimes I think I'm not doing a good job because you're so skinny and…I love you…a lot.' Kendall put his head down, and Logan didn't miss the small smile that crept onto his face. But he also didn't miss the tear that fell onto the plush blue towel.

"I love you too, Logie and I wanna eat but sometimes I feel guilty because you're wasting your money on food that I eat. I don't even see you eat anymore, Logie so I stopped too. I wanted to save your money." He looked up, his forest green eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

"Oh, baby…" Logan whispered and signed at the same time. He rushed over to Kendall and knelt in front of him. He wrapped Kendall into a hug and Kendall sniffled and Logan felt the warm tears bleed through his shirt.

'I want you to eat, please don't starve yourself. I love you too much to see you suffer. You scare me when you're so thin because…" Logan couldn't finish. He didn't want to think of Kendall dying. It was too painful.

'I just need you here…you taught me how to love again.' Logan finished he thought of all his messed up relationship. He kissed Kendall before giving him another hug. Kendall smiled a teary smile.

"I could say the same exact thing." Kendall chuckled. Logan chuckled too before making Kendall stand up and get into the tub. He turned on the water and began to scrub Kendall but Kendall insisted he do it himself.

'Somebody's a big boy now.' Logan signed smirking. Kendall nodded proudly, his now wet, brown hair dripping.

'I'll go pick out your clothes…we have to go to the hospital to see my dad.' Logan said disappearing. He called Carlos in advance to pick him up.

After they hung up with each other, Logan went back into the bathroom and he laughed, shaking his head.

Kendall was pouring more Mr. Bubbles into the water. He put on a bubble-made hat and beard and he was pretending to be on a sail ship.

"ARGH mates! There's the enemy straight ahead….BOOM, CABAM!" Logan giggled and tapped Kendall. Kendall turned around shocked.

"I got bored…" he explained.

'I can tell.' Logan signed. He made Kendall stand up and he rinsed the soap and bubbles off of his body. Kendall wrapped the towel around him sloppily. He threw the towel down upon arriving in the bedroom and Logan helped him put on his shirt and left to take a bath himself.

When he came out, Kendall was whimpering and holding his hand. Logan quickly dressed up, and went over to Kendall. He brought Kendall to the bathroom and washed the cut and putting a band aid on it before kissing it. Kendall grinned. Logan heard two beeps and he signed to Kendall that it was time to go.

They found Carlos in the car and Carlos leaned forward to kiss Kendall. He grinned at Logan then frowned.

"Are you ready to see your dad, Logan?" he asked. It kinda scared Logan how serious Carlos was being.

Logan nodded slowly but surely. Carlos nodded before putting the car into gear and zooming off. To get his mind off, Logan had silly conversations with Carlos, laughing and even grabbing a couple of burgers.

"We're both working huh?" Carlos asked. Logan nodded before adding, "Twice as hard and hey, thanks for lending me all the money you did, you're a good friend."

"The best friend." Carlos said. He made a sharp turn and Logan hit his cheek against the window.

"Ow damn that hurt." He said.

"Sorry bud I was about to miss that turn." Carlos laughed at Logan rubbing his cheek. Carlos found a parking spot and Logan looked at Kendall who was still engulfed into his burger. Logan got his attention and signed 'get out of the car.' Kendall nodded and Logan grabbed a napkin because Kendall's face was truly a mess.

He wiped Kendall's face and asked Carlos to throw away the napkin. Carlos nodded before throwing the napkin over his back.

"CARLOS?" Logan shouted. Carlos shrugged.

"What? You told me to throw it way and I did. Who gonna waste their time dragging their ass to a damn trash can?" Logan shook his head and picked up the napkin contemplating whether or not to stuff it into Carlos' mouth.

They walked into the hospital, signed in and they headed to Logan's dad's room. Logan walked slowly and Carlos pulled him ahead encouragingly.

They got to the door and Carlos stepped back so Logan could open it. As if in a dream, Logan touched the door and slowly twisted the door knob. He opened it and the first words he heard were:

"Logan?"
