*No matter what I read, I always review, from one writer to another, it's just nice :)*
Kendall supposed he was asleep for no more than thirty minutes tops before he was ripped from his dream where he was reliving his passion filled sex with the boy he was head over heels in love with.
Then it all came flooding back; the reason behind him finally getting his lifelong wish. The crazy fan that had kidnapped the boys and shot both James and Carlos all because he and Logan weren't putting enough passion in their sex.
Kendall jolted up right, causing Logan to flip off of the bed because the blonde boy wasn't aware he was nestled in his muscly grip.
Relief spread all over Kendall like the tide when he took in his entire surroundings. Emily was flat on the floor, her hands being held behind her back as two men in black attempted to restrain her with some handcuffs. The butler was being ushered into the room by a couple more guys dressed identical to the ones seeing to Emily. Kendall then shot his gaze to his two best friends who were still situated in the middle of the room, both looking completely drained of colour. But he was glad to see that there were paramedics tending to the two injured boys.
Kendall made a move to get out of bed, before coming to the realization that he was still completely stark naked. He blushed slightly as he caught sight of Logan pulling on a pair of boxers. He cleared his throat trying to get the brunette's attention.
"Uh, Logie, they're mine." Logan quickly removed the underwear and chucked it to Kendall without looking at him before locating his own underwear and slipping them on, followed by the rest of his clothes. Kendall dressed in silence and then walked over to Logan's side. "Hey, you okay?" Kendall asked, placing a comforting hand on Logan's shoulder.
Kendall could have sworn he felt his heart break into two when Logan shrugged the blonde's hand off his shoulder and jumped off the stage, rushing to his two friends, without responding to Kendall.
The men in black began ushering the two criminals out of the room, leaving the boy band with the paramedics.
"Are they going to be okay?" Logan asked.
"They've lost a lot of blood. It's a good thing we got here when we did. But they should be fine. Now we have to get them to the hospital so if you'll excuse us." The paramedics had unstrapped the boys from their metal restraints, placing them gently on two gurneys and wheeled them out, unaware of the awkwardness cloud lingering between the other two members.
"Logie…"
"Don't call me that! I'm not your fucking boyfriend." Kendall had to use all his strength to prevent himself from crying. He was glad when a very dirty Kelly come into the room followed by two police officers.
"Kelly, where have you been? We've been gone for days and you've only just turned up."
"We almost died as well." Kelly began to explain everything that had happened to her and Gustavo.
"K-K-K-Kelly….I-I-I can't…b-b-breath." Gustavo panted while Kelly continued chiseling away at the ground above them.
"Neither…can…can I. But we n-n-need to keep going." Kelly knew that if the two of them stopped, they would die. The amount of oxygen had rapidly decreased and they were running out. Digging their way out was the only chance they had. Besides, Kelly had done the hardest part; she had whittled her way through the wooden box. Now she just had to claw her way through the freshly packed soil that stood on top of their early graves. "Gustavo, come on. Gustavo?"
Kelly looked back down at her co-worker to see he had stopped moving. He had passed out from the lack of oxygen; it was all down to her now. She continued hacking away at the dirt with the penknife, cutting herself for the fortieth time, or was it the forty-first? She had lost count after the first ten.
Kelly found her breaths becoming a lot more shallow and rapid and she felt her head start to become light and dizzy from insufficient oxygen. She punched one last time at the ground above her and to her surprise her entire fist went straight through, stinging slightly as the fresh air swam over her fresh cuts. She removed her arm and took a deep gasp of air from the hole she had just made. Giving her a whole new strength, she began ripping at the hole making it bigger and bigger until she was able to pass through it.
She grabbed for her cell phone and quickly dialed those three numbers she never thought she'd have to ring.
"Nine-one-one, what's your emergency?"
"Me and my friend were buried alive. I escaped but he's still down there."
"Calm down ma'am, where are you?" Kelly quickly scanned her surroundings and could only assume she was in the garden of the mansion.
"We're at the Garner mansion. Please hurry." She panted, still trying to repay the oxygen debt that her body had just succumbed to. She ended the phone call and began digging at the ground once again, trying to rescue Gustavo before it was too late.
"Eventually the cops and paramedics arrive and helped me pull Gustavo out. They did some CPR on him and they've taken him to the hospital. How are you guys? Are James and Carlos okay?"
"The paramedics say they'll be just fine."
"Oh thank god!" Kelly sighed deeply, casting a look at the two boys standing awkwardly next to each other. "Is that the worst that happened?" she asked skeptically.
"Yeah. Can we just get the hell out of here and go see James and Carlos?" Logan snapped, storming out of the room. Kelly looked at Kendall who only shrugged in response.
When Kendall and Logan arrived at the hospital, James and Carlos were already awake, sitting up in bed watching television. As the two boys entered the room, James lifted the remote and shut the TV off plunging the entire room into silence.
"Good to see you guys awake." Logan stated as he sat down in the chair between the two beds while Kendall just hovered in the doorway.
"Does your mom know what happened?" Carlos asked Kendall, who only shook his head in response.
Kendall and Logan were ordered out of the boys' room half an hour later by a high maintenance nurse who insisted Carlos and James needed their rest. Logan stood with his hands in his pockets as Kendall attempted to flag down a taxi to take them back to the Palm Woods. After a few unsuccessful endeavors, Kendall managed to acquire one and the two boys clambered into the back, with Logan sitting as close to the door as was possible.
"Come on Logie.."
"I told you not to call me that." Logan snapped, looking at Kendall for the first time since the night before.
"Why? You never minded it before. What's going on?"
"Was I the only one who was there last night Kendall?" Logan dropped his voice to a whisper to make sure the taxi driver wouldn't over hear them. "We had sex. You can't tell me that we can go back to what we had before."
"Well, then…let's not."
"What?"
"Let's not go back to what we were."
"So we just stop being friends?"
"That's not what I meant." Kendall said, scooting closer to Logan and grabbing his hand.
"Stop the cab. Please. Just stop the cab."
"Logan?" Logan wrenched the door open as soon as the cab came to a complete stop. "Logan, where are you going?" Kendall called out to the boy who was now sprinting off down a small alleyway. Kendall didn't know what to do. Did he chase after the boy? Or did he give him some space and just go back to the Palm Woods alone?
"What's it gonna be mate?" the taxi driver asked, unafraid to hide his annoyance.
"Just back to the Palm Woods please." Kendall said defeated as he shut the door to the cab and the driver sped off, rejoining the traffic.
