A week later and still no word from Kendall. Carlos was getting worried, if Kendall couldn't hang out with them, his entire plan would be ruined.

"Hey, Logan?" Carlos begins apprehensively from the doorway. "Have you heard from Kendall?"

Logan puts down his pencil and looks up from his books. "No, but I'm sure he's been pretty busy. You know with the run the Wild is on, remember?"

Carlos slowly nods his head in uncertainty as he joins Logan at the kitchen table turned to desk. "I guess you're right."

Logan can see and hear Carlos' disappointment. He places his hand on top of Carlos'.

"Look, I know it's upsetting to know that there's a good chance that we won't be able to see him, but at least be happy for him. He's doing really well and living his dream. You know how much he's wanted this."

"Yeah, I know. I just really wanted him to be there when…" Carlos stops, realizing that he was about to spill a big secret and hopes that Logan would just let it go.

Logan waits for Carlos to finish the sentence, but it doesn't happen. "When what, Carlos?"

Carlos beats himself up for letting his mouth get ahead of his brain and searches for an explanation that seems possible. "Uh… when we give James and him their presents."

Logan is taken aback by the statement. "Presents?... What presents?"

"Uh… the presents that I always give to friends and family when visiting them."

Logan's face contorts in confusion with a hint of anger. "Were you ever going to tell me about this or take the credit for yourself?" he asks half joking, half serious.

"Of course I was going to tell you, but you've been so busy studying. I was planning on going to get the gifts this week."

Logan nods and reluctantly accepts the explanation. "Well, if it means that much to you, let's call him."

Logan picks up his phone from the table and dials Kendall's number. He puts the phone on speaker as they wait for Kendall to pick up.

"Hi, Logan," a female voice answers.

Carlos and Logan exchange looks.

"Umm… hello," Logan responds uncertainly, "I'm sorry I think I dialed the wrong number."

"No, you didn't," the voice answers. "You're looking for Kendall, right?"

"Yes… is he there?"

"I really don't know how to say this, but he's not in the mood to talk to anyone right now. Actually he hasn't been for the past few days."

"Oh. I'm sorry, but may I ask who it is I'm talking to?"

"Goodness, I'm sorry, Logan. This is Mrs. Knight. I forgot how long it's been since you and I have seen each other."

Logan and Carlos relax a little, but then Mrs. Knight's previous statement sinks in.

"What do you mean that he's not in the mood to talk to anyone?" Carlos asks.

Mrs. Knight is surprised by the second voice, "Oh! Hi, Carlos. Umm… Kendall's been depressed since the injury."

"Injury?" Carlos and Logan question in unison.

"Yes, he got checked pretty hard at the game Thursday night and his leg somehow got bent the wrong way. He swore that everything was okay. Unfortunately the doctor told him that his ACL was torn and that his season was over."

"Oh, wow!" Logan unconsciously says aloud. He then looks over at Carlos and mouths 'We are horrible people!'

"Umm… Mrs. Knight, how is it that you have Kendall's phone? He usually isn't more than 5 feet away from it."

Logan slaps Carlos' head. Carlos shrinks back in shame and Logan shakes his head. Leave it to Carlos to ask the question everyone is thinking but doesn't have the courage to ask.

Mrs. Knight chuckles, "After we got back from the hospital, Kendall was very depressed and his phone wouldn't stop ringing. He didn't want to talk to anyone, so he asked if I could talk to everyone and explain everything. Hasn't asked for his phone since."

"We completely understand. Can you just let Kendall know that we are still on track for next week and are wondering about him? Also, give him our love! If you need anything, Mrs. Knight, please don't hesitate to call us. We know how Kendall can be."

"That you do. Thank you, boys! I'll give Kendall the message. Please visit soon. I miss having you all around!"

Logan and Carlos smile, "We'll be visiting before you know it."

They hang up the phone and sit in silence for a bit before Carlos breaks it.

"Logan, we are horrible people! Kendall is our friend and he's finally living his dream and we aren't even following him. Heck, he's a starter and this news is probably all over ESPN! What does this say to him that it took us three days to call and even then we didn't know about what had happened."

"I know." Logan lets out a sigh. "I think we need to push up our trip and leave tomorrow."

"What?" Carlos asks surprised.

"Kendall needs a friend right now."

"I'm sure his teammates have gone to visit him."

"Yeah, probably, but none of them know him like we do."

"But, Logan, you've got finals all week. There's no way you can go."

"What if you go without me?"

Carlos is floored by the suggestion. He and Logan haven't been apart for more than a few hours since Carlos moved to Florida five months ago.

"I can't go without you."

Logan gets up and stands behind Carlos. He leans over and wraps his arms around his neck, chin resting on his shoulders. "Just the thought of being away from you for a day let alone a week is killing me, but like I said, Kendall needs a friend."

Carlos sighs. "I know. I remember what he was like the last time he got seriously hurt back in high school. Didn't see him for two days, and that injury only caused him to miss one regular season game."

Logan gives Carlos a peck on the cheek. "So you'll go for the both of us?"

"I guess, but that means I have no time for presents." Carlos states with a twinkle in his eye.

"I'll take care of that. If anyone asks, just tell them that you packed your own suitcase and forgot them."

Carlos huffs and pretends to try to shake Logan off.

"Okay, okay… I guess I'll call the airline and see if they can get me on a flight tomorrow."
