I don't feel any shame, I want to apologize. When there ain't nowhere you can go. Running away from pain when you've been victimized. Tales from another broken home.

-"Jesus of Suburbia" Green Day

Mrs. Knights tearful eyes fell on the empty open bottle of perscription pills that was a foot from Kendall's open hand. Her face went pale white."Kendall!" Mrs. Knight screamed with panic. She pressed her ear against her sons chest. He was still breathing. She hit his face trying to wake him up. "Baby! C'mon," she tapped his face three more times. When he remained unresponsive she pushed herself to her feet and ran to the phone on James nightstand. She fumbled it in her hands and began dialing 911.

"911. What is your emergency?"

"My son...he's not waking up!" she said fast.

"Mam, calm down-"

"Don't tell me to relax. My-my-my baby boy won't wake up!" When Mrs. Knight looked over at Kendall, he was lifting his head then turned on his side to sit himself up. The phone immediately dropped from her hands.

"Kendall!"

Kendall began to rub the back of his head. Mrs. Knight fell by his side and grabbed his face to hers. "Sweetheart? Are you okay? She asked searching his eyes. Kendall blinked a few times continuing to rub the back of his head. "Kendall?" The mom asked.

"Who's Kendall?" Kendall asked dumbfounded. Mrs. Knight mouth fell.

James, Carlos and Logan stood in front of Kendall who was seated on a hospital bed, legs hanging off the end.

"So, what happened?" Logan asked.

"They told me I slipped and hit my head on the marble floor pretty hard," Kendall stated.

The three boys exchanged a look then brought their eyes back to Kendall- staring. Kendall looked around the room feeling slightly uncomfortable. Kendall's eyes then fell on James and his brow furrowed. "What happened to you?" he asked.

"I got the shit kicked out of me. We all did. Well, besides Logan but that's cause he went running to try and get some help," James said in a cheerful tone. Logan and Carlos looked at him. "What?" James asked shrugging his shoulders. "This is cool," he said.

"How?" Logan asked.

"I never met anyone with amnesia. So you really don't remember a thing?" James directed to Kendall. Kendall shook his head. "Not even a certain blonde green eyed girl?" James questioned.

"Am I suppose to?" Kendall wondered. At that Choir walked in, folding her arms tightly across her chest.

"Speak of the devil," Logan said under his breath.

Her eyes dodged to each of the boys besides Kendall's. "Is he okay?" she asked softly.

"He can't remember anything," James responded.

Her eyes finally fell on Kendall's. "Are you my sister?" Kendall asked.

Logan's eyes bugged out "Gross..." Logan sang.

Carlos made a vomiting noise.

"After the two things you two have done-" James started to say but was cut off when Choir hit him in the arm.

"Shut up you three!" she sneered. Logan pretended to zip his lips up.

"No," Choir answered Kendall who had a confused expression on his face. He then squinted at her.

"You're important to me though. Something inside..." he trailed off thinking.

"Well duh," Logan said. James rolled his eyes.

"We're friends," Choir said.

"Friends?" James, Carlos, and Logan said stunned.

"Just friends?" Kendall asked.

Choir smiled softly. "Really good friends."

Kendall thought for a moment but then noticed the bruises on her arm. "You were beat up too?" he asked.

Choir rubbed her arms and nodded. Choir and Kendall just gazed at each other. Logan clapped his hands together bringing them into a fold. "We should probably go," He said. Carlos agreed.

"Why?" James asked stupidly. Logan gave him a knowing look. James rolled his eyes and Carlos rolled him out. Logan followed closely behind.

When the door finally closed it was silent for a moment. Choir looked down at her feet. When she looked back up her eyes had glossed over. She swallowed hard. "I know we're only friends but can I hug you?" she asked. Kendall shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't see why not," he said. Without a second to pass, Choir threw her arms around him taking Kendall by surprise. Slowly, however, he brought his hands to her back and wrapped them firmly around her, tightening the embrace.
