"Hey James!" I call and jump on the couch right next to him. "Sup?"

He says nothing. He just slowly turn his head to face me and give me a small smile and turn back to stare blankly at the TV screen. His gray color is still in existence. He's been wearing a frown on his face since... well, a month, even though I see him smile, I know all of them are fake. I need to cheer him up. Grieving forever is not gonna solve anything!

"Ooh, tell him a joke Kendall!" Carlos smile plopping on the other side of my boyfriend. "Hey James! What did the fish say when it swam into the stick walls?"

No answer.

"Dam!

Oh, I get it. I chuckle a bit. But James is not doing anything.

"Nothing!"

"Maybe something a bit inappropriate?" I suggest. "That sound like a joke someone should tell to a kid Katie's age."

"Okay! Uh, Oh, I got a good one! Why did a man co-"

My eyes wide a bit. I know where he's going with this. "Not that!" Knowing Katie can hear everything. I can see her in the kitchen eating a sandwich.

"Fine! How about: What does a drunk air-head do after he walk back home to his kids and wife from the bar?"

My eyes widen even more. I know this answer too, and not only is Katie here, but James is next to him. And it's not a joke, it's a bit of an easy, mindless, stupid riddle. James always hate drunk jokes or anything related to it, and I know why a few weeks ago. "Carlos! Not that joke! Not drunk jo-" I stop my sentence as I see James scooting off the couch and drop to his knees. Roll himself into a ball like armadillos do.

I groan and punch Carlos on the shoulder.

"Ow!" He shrieks "What was that for?"

I give him a glare. He knows what it's for!

"Ohhhh." Oh now he realized his mistake.

I roll my eyes and get off the couch and crouch down to rub my hand smoothly on James' back. "You alright baby?"

Nothing.

"Maybe you should go out to dinner with him." I look up and saw Logan just got home and he close the door behind him. "You know, to perk him up."

"Logie! Where were you?" Carlos jumps off the couch and run to his boyfriend's side, wrapping his arms around him. I miss doing that to James.

"Helping Lucy with something."

Ha, I bet Carlos feels a bit jealous, his auras turning red while Logan remains pink.

Although, that idea might work. Maybe I should take him somewhere... and I know exactly where.

Later that night, I had to carry James upstairs to our bedroom and plop him in bed. He wouldn't move! I climb into bed and look over at him. He's just sitting there with the blanket covering his legs only. His head down and arms cross.

"James..."

"Carlos is stupid."

"He's not stupid. He just didn't know what he's saying, that's all. He's... impulsive."

Then, there is silence in the room. I lay down and cover myself up. "Night James."

"Night Ken." He says softly and I reach out to turn off the lamp until...

"Kenny?"

"Yeah?" I turn to him.

"Will you punish me?"

"Why would I?"

"No reason." he mumble

"If you're not down or gray anymore, then I'll think about it." I smirk. I turn back and turn off the lights. I lay down on my pillow and close my eyes.

"Ken?"

"Hm?"

"Can you punish me?"

"No."

"No, I mean like torture me." Okay, now he's talking crazy. I open my eyes and shoot up.

"No James. I will not hurt you!"

"I deserve it. I don't deserve to live after what I did. Torture me so I can die and go to Hell, where I'm suppose to go after hurting my brother."

"James, no you don't! You don't deserve to go to Hell. What you did is not you're fault!" I raise my voice.

"Yes it is!" He snaps.

I groan. "Ugh! that's it. We are not arguing about this anymore. Night James." I lay back on my pillow and close my eyes. Great, no more interruptions.


"James?" I call as I look around my surroundings. I am in some sort of crystal cave. Well, there are crystals sticking out of the ceilings really. I was in the middle of a really big space in a cave.

"Kendall." I hear my name call. I turn to the sound and saw him standing near a door, back facing me. He glance over his shoulder to should me a cold glare and turn back to open it and run out slamming the door behind him.

"James, wait!" Why did he just glare at me like that? Wonder what is up.

I start to run to the door when all of a sudden, the walls starting collapsing! And the crystals drop from the ceiling! I cover myself. Getting down and roll into a ball hands on the back of my head. Shutting my eyes and gritting my teeth as I hear shattering glass and really loud thuds cause by walls. strangely, nothing hit me. No pain.

As the loud ruckus is over, I slowly unroll myself and stand up as I look around. Shattered glass was everywhere, along with busted walls and crystals that looks like icicles sticking on the ground. Maybe some of them shattered. I face the door and saw that it is still standing! I run to it and open it, seeing like a hallway. I run in and in the corridor, seeing other halls on the side. Not knowing where I'm going, I just go straight. I got to find James. Which way did he go? I stop as I face a dead-end so I turn another way.

I keep running going left and right, not knowing where I'm going. I feel like I'm stuck in a maze of some sort. I keep running and calling his name.

After running for what feels like hours, I hear it. His voice! Or at least, his scream. His cry for help.

"Kendall! HEEELLLLP!" I hear him scream. He's close.

"James!" I scream wondering if he can hear me. Nothing in return, so I run to where I hear the voice. The closer I get, the louder I can hear his scream for mercy and someone else yelling and did I also hear... snapping... uh, sound of whipping something?big, gray, empty room. Nothing there except...

"OH MY GOD!" I scream at the top of my lungs. There is Shane holding onto a whip, yelling at my boyfriend and having

I stop at another door. Sound of screaming in the other side. I open the door and stop dead in my tracks as I see a an evil smirk on his face. Then my eyes land on James. He's just standing there in the middle of the room. Not moving. Then I look down. His legs chained to the floor. That's why he can't move. I look up and saw his hands are cuff together on the really, the width of the room is huge, but the height is like 6 1/2 feet. And his shirt as been stripped off.

That's when I know what is going on here.

"Shane! Stop it!" I demand.

He look at me and smirk at me. "Hey Kendall. Long time no see. How's it going?"

I glare at him. Since I didn't respond, he turn back and did something that really disturb me. He use his whip to hit James' back! Causing him to scream at the top of his lungs.

"JAMES!" I scream facing him. I turn back and face Shane. "STOP IT RIGHT NOW!"

"Hmm, what's the word I'm looking for... oh ya. NO!" He yell and take another whip at his brother and then laugh evilly.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask.

"He deserve it! After what he did to me!"

"Abusing you? It was a mistake! He wanted your apology, he wants-" I stop and remember he's dead! Shane is dead! This is not real! And if it's not real, that means, IT'S A DREAM!

"Yeah, right! I'm doing this because he said he wants it! He needs to be punish! He needs to be tortured like this to understand is mistakes!"

"No he doesn't!" I turn to James. "No you don't!"

"Yes I do!" He cry as the whip connect to his bare back once more. I can see tears running down his face and red. Blood dripping down his back! I stare in horror.

"No you don't James!"

"Yes I do Kendall! I deserve to be punish like this! He has the rights to hurt me like this! I deserve every pain he's giving me after what I did to him two years ago!"

"NO YOU DON"T JAMES! HE DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO TORTURE YOU UNTIL YOU BLEED TO DEATH! AND YOU DO NOT DESERVE THIS AS A PUNISHMENT!" I scream.

"SHUT UP!" Shane yell and repeatingly torture him.

"Stop!" I yell. No this is not happening. It's fake! Don't freak out Kendall. It's just a dream. A horrible horrid dream. But seeing this... I can't take it! It looks real! "STOP! LET HIM GO!" I run about to kill him.

Surprisingly, when I'm near him, he stop and push an unknown button on the wall I never knew was there and the cuffs and chains has been unlock and open, causing James to fall forward!

"James!" I run and catch him before he got a chance to hit the floor. I lean him on his back in my arms, causing my clothes to bleed in red. I look at is face. Eyes close, pale, and tear stains still on his cheeks. I wipe them off. "James? You okay baby?"

No answer.

"James?"

Still nothing. I tilt him over and look at his back. Cuts, everywhere, still bleeding. I lay him back again. "James?" I whisper, eyes blinded by tears. "James! No! Please don't go! Please!" I cry. Tears streaming down my face. "No! Please! Come back! No!"


"Nooooo!"

"Kendall? Kendall! Wake up!" I hear someone call. I shoot up screaming my head off! I open my eyes and see him standing there.

"James? James! You're alive!" I smile, pulling him into a tight bear hug.

"Kendall, are you okay?" I let go and breathe heavily. "What happen?"

"Uh, nothing, it's nothing. Just a nightmare." I can see his aura grayish blue this time. "What time is it?" I look at the clock and saw that it's... "10:23! I'm so late for school!" I say and look at James. "Wait, why aren't you in school?"

"I don't wanna go." He says simply.

"Why? And now home you, Carlos, or Logan wake me up when it's time?"

"You wouldn't budge, so they left."

"Some friends they are." I mutter, crossing my arms.

"Yeah, let's go get dress."

"Okay." I say getting out of bed.

"Will you tell me your nightmare?" James ask curiously.

I don't feel like talking about it now. "No, maybe later." Much later.

When we get to class, Ms. Collins was wondering why we were late and we just say we overslept, even though it's only me though. Then continuing on Biology. Carlos keep asking why I overslept and Logan just give me a worried look. James is just being his depressing self again. Ugh, what am I gonna do?

When school is over, all four of us walk out to the limo where Kelly is waiting and he went to Roque Records. Carlos and Logan keep talking on the way there and James just kept his mouth shut, though he keep asking me about my nightmare which I guess I should tell the others too.

"Come on baby. What is your dream about? I can help you." James say.

"Not like I can help you overcoming your problems." I mutter.

"Come on Kendall!" Carlos beg. "Tell us!"

"If it's bothering you so much just please tell us and we can help." Logan say. Yeah it does kinda bothering me.

I keep my mouth shut.

"Guys, if Kendall doesn't wanna talk about it, you doesn't have to." Thank you Kelly!

At Rocque Records, we are practicing singing. Right now, we're singing Show Me and I really didn't pay much attention to my parts of the song. I mean Gustavo is fiery red when ever I miss. Usually James is the one who's not paying attention and keep on missing but this time is me.

"Okay, you dogs can take a break." Gustavo say, finally giving up.

The guys cheer and they drag me out of the studio and on the white couch.

"Okay, now talk." Logan demands.

"After what's up back there in the studio, we know that nightmare is bothering you somehow, bad!" Carlos say.

I sigh in defeat and tell then by dream choking on tears when I came to the part about seeing Shane and what he's doing to James.

"It scared the crap out of me.I knopw it's just a dream, but it seems clear and-and... I just can't see you being killed that way." I cry as I hug James.

I can feel two pairs of arms joining in my comfort.

"Don't worry. That will never happen." Logan assure.

"Yeah, and if I do wanna be tortured, I'll be asking you to do it to me. The same exact punishment." James say softly.

"JAMES!" Carlos and Logan yell.

"Thanks guys. You're the best." I smile as they let go.
