Thank you all so much for your reviews! They made me smile so much, I've decided to give you another chapter. ;)

Chapter 2: Hello, Doctor

Carlos and Logan arrived at the hospital, eyes red from their tears. This wasn't just a small scrape on Kendall's knee, or a small bruise on his arm ... his head was bleeding, blood was coming out from his mouth, and he wasn't waking up. This was bad. Why does life do this to you? Logan sighed, his hands shaking a little as he walked up to the counter. "W-we're here to see Kendall Knight,"

The kind desk woman nodded, writing something down on a piece of paper. "Names?" she asked, looking at the two teenagers.

"Logan and Carlos," Logan told her with a forced smile.

Carlos was supposed to be the one who likes jumping around, his excitement preventing him from being still all the time; but now he's standing quietly next to his raven-haired friend, unable to form words. Kendall was always there for him, always giving those inspirational speeches, pointing Carlos to the right paths, everything. The one that got them here, the one that had those wacky ideas. It made Carlos even sadder thinking about it. Just yesterday, Kendall was awake and talking.

The desk woman gave them both a small smile. "Room 215." she told them, continuing her work.

"Thanks," Logan simply replied, telling Carlos to follow him with a gesture of his hand. Logan couldn't stop thinking how Kendall is going too look in a hospital bed. What if he isn't himself anymore? What if he never wakes up? What then? Would they ever be the same ..? Logan knocked on Kendall's room door, receiving a 'Come in,' from what sounded like James. He opened the door, bracing himself for what he might see.

There he was. Kendall, his best friend. He was hooked up to an IV and had a hospital gown on.

James gave them a sad smile. "Hey,"

"D-did they say what was hurt? Is Kendall going to be okay?" Carlos asked James, his voice cracking with nervousness.

James released a sigh. "Not yet. The doctor will be here soon, though. All I know is he's not responding to anything. He could possibly be in a coma, but what do I know, right?" he stared down at his hands. They were clenched together and looked quite pale. "Look at me, I'm a wreck!" he nervously laughed, holding in the tears that wanted to fall. "We've known Kendall since kindergarten ... and-it just pains me to see him like this."

Logan stared at Kendall, having a flashback of the times they spent together. "We made a promise ..." Logan mumbled to himself.

"What was that, Loges?" James stared curiously at his friend.

"We ... we made a promise in fourth grade," Logan spoke up, "To always look out for each other ... and no matter how many times we fought, to always stay best friends."

They heard a knock at the door. "Come in," James shouted.

The doctor.

"Hello, I am Kendall's doctor. My name is Randy," Dr. Randy smiled. "I understand you might want to hear the reports?" they all nodded, ears wide open. "We have examined your friend and found he has a wound around the back area of his head. It was caused by a blunt instrument. It was damaged even more when he fell and hit the concrete. We have also found a small trace of LSD in his blood."

"I-is he going to be okay?" Carlos asked Dr. Randy.

"Well, we have to give him an MRI and see if he's bleeding from the inside," he explained to poor Carlos. "If we get through this, he'll be fine in no time."

"All right, thanks," James nodded.

"If you see, or hear him respond, please press that button there and I will be here," Dr. Randy said. "I'll be at the counter."

"All right," Logan replied.

The door closed and they were left alone once again. Carlos slowly walked over to Kendall's bed side. "Kendall, you ... you gotta wake up, okay? This wasn't supposed to happen," Carlos took a seat next to James.

It was all silent. No one spoke.

James imagined Kendall talking to them. Talking about hockey, talking about their memories ... James put his face in his hands. He's been holding back his emotions for a long time, trying to keep his cool for his friends' sakes. Acting like everything was going to be fine. This wasn't just nervousness, it was anger. Tears streamed down James' cheeks, landing in his palms. It was his turn to be the leader. Well, until Kendall got better that is.

Dr. Randy returned to Kendall's room. "We are going to start the MRI now. It'll be a quick thirty minutes. You may wait in his room if you please, I know you aren't leaving anytime soon until you get the results,"

"Well, we'll be waiting," Logan assured the doctor.

a full hour has past. Carlos was fast asleep in his chair, worn out from the long night. It was somewhere around 12:00AM. The doctor was nice enough to let them stay. The door was open a crack, James would look out of it just in case Kendall were to come back. It looked like James was the only one awake. He always had trouble falling asleep under stress. Logan kept yawning over and over. James could tell he wanted to rest, but he wouldn't. James tried several times to tell Logan to take a nap.

"We have the results if you would like to hear them," Dr. Randy pushed the door open.

James got up from his seat, giving a glance at Logan. "Please," he prompted.

The doctor began to explain as the nurses pushed Kendall's bed back in it's place. "From the MRI we found he has a concussion, but he'll rest it off, I'm sure." James and Logan took a deep breath. "He is still unconscious, but no worries. I'm sure he'll break through soon. Visiting hours are ending soon, so please say what you need to say." Dr. Randy exited the room.

Kendall was going to be okay. Everything is going to be fine. Soon they'll be playing dome hockey again, but ... there could be damage to him. A trace of LSD and a concussion could be fatal, but that was just Logan panicking again. Kendall did play hockey, but he hasn't gotten a concussion playing hockey before. Getting a concussion multiple times might make it worse, but that's nothing to worry about. Logan got up from his seat and knelt down to Carlos in his chair. "Carlos," Logan whispered, "Carlos, buddy, we have news."

Carlos yawned, rubbing his eyes with his hands and stretching. "Is Kendie okay?" he mumbled, still a bit tired from everything.

"He has a concussion, but he's going to rest it off and he's still unconscious, but I'm sure he'll wake up soon," Logan told tired Carlos who was now getting up from his chair.

They all surrounded Kendall's bed and said their goodbyes.

"Kendie, y-you hear that?" Carlos yawned. "You're gonna be okay," he smiled, his eyes a bit droopy.

"Kendall, just ... hang in there, okay?" James gave him a small smile, even though he couldn't see it. "We'll be here tomorrow. I'll see you 'round, buddy."

The room fell silent as the three left the hospital. Tomorrow is a new day. Another day to spend with Kendall. They walked through the parking lot to their car. No one was talking, they were all too tired.

James clenched his hands into fists. If Kendall's hurt, he has to take his place. He has to watch out for his friends and make sure everything goes fine. If they're worried, he'll say everything is fine. If they're scared, he'll comfort them with a hug. It didn't feel like the accident was the same day. It felt like it was a week ago, but it wasn't. Everything happened just now. James looked at his phone, seeing the calls he recieved. 'Call from Kendall' it read. Someone should've gone with him ... James sighed stressfully.

'I'm such an idiot,' he wanted to punch a wall.

Even though all he could think about was Kendall, one thing ran through James' mind. 'Who was that guy with Kendall?'

2J was as quiet as ever. James walked straight to the couch and fell onto it face down, groaning away the tiredness that has hit him in the face. "How about ... we watch a movie-" he yawned. "To chill our nerves ..."

Carlos was up for that, watching a nice movie to get their thoughts off of Kendall. Well, the worry part of it anyway. They could never stop thinking about him. "That sounds fun!" he said in a quiet tone. He looked at Logan, who was already heading to his room to get on some comfortable PJ's. "A-are we going to watch a movie?" his smile fell into a sad frown.

James fell asleep already.

Carlos looked around for Logan and found him in his room passed out on his bed. Carlos shrugged. It was best to sleep on it than stay up all night watching a movie. Carlos got on his best PJ's and went to his room to get some sleep. He wanted to sleep, but his eyes wouldn't let him. No matter how tired he was, he couldn't fall asleep. That anxiety running through his system doesn't help with anything.

James opened the door and rubbed his eyes.

"Decided to sleep in your bed?" Carlos said, a little over a whisper.

James slowly nodded his head. And with a stretch, he jumped into his bed for the new day.

Carlos took a moment to think. "H-hey, James?"

"Hmnn?" he hummed.

"Can I sleep with you? I ... Well, I can't really sleep,"

James turned his head to face his shorter friend and smiled. "Sure, 'Litos," he half laughed and moved a bit to make room for Carlos.

Carlos pushed the blanket off of himself and ran over to James' bed, already feeling more tired than ever.

Thank goodness.

James hoped that tomorrow might be a bit better than today. Kendall might wake up from his sleep, and maybe they can celebrate afterwards. If not tomorrow, the day after that. If not the day after that, the day after that! They'll be ready. James sighed. If he doesn't get to sleep now, he won't see the light of day. He closed his eyes and a million things ran through his mind. How could he make this all better for Logan and Carlos? He was angry that he couldn't stop thinking about tomorrow. He took a deep breath and shut his eyes tight, making sure his thoughts were cleared.

Goodnight, Kendall.
