I have recentlybeen to a BTR concert (which was AWESOME) but this story isn't gonna be like the real concerts, so yep.
This chapter is what I hope will be the longest one yet.
84. Out Cold
"Oh, I forgot something! You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." Logan said, running back into their tour bus after his friends nodded and continued walking.
Logan closed the door to the tour bus and slid down against it. He was exhausted. He had just gotten a bad case of the flu, which of course his friends didn't know he had. He blamed the sneezing and runny nose on allergies, and he refused to cough.
Logan sighed and walked into the bathroom. He locked the door behind him and grabbed his medical bag and pulled the key to it out of his pocket. He had to make sure none of the guys got into it, so he got a lockable bag. Reaching inside his grabbed a bottle of cover up makeup he had, which he only hadjust in case he needed.
He unscrewed the top and put some on his finger, re-covering up the dark shadows under his eyes. It was their last concert, and then he could sleep the whole way back to California.
Logan sighed as he screwed the top back on, closing his eyes for a second. He could feel his eyes burn from the lack of moisture. He wiped them carefully as he looked back in the mirror. He at least lookednormal.
Logan gave a forced smile as he ran back outside and into where the concert was being held. He waved to security as he ran in, almost crashing into Kendall.
"Dude, come on! It's about to start!" Kendall said, grabbing Logan's hand and pulling him along. Logan sighed inwardly as he followed Kendall back stage.
"And now Ladies and Gentlemen, BIG TIME RUSH!" The announcer yelled. Kendall gave Logan a pat on the back and the 4 of them ran out onto the stage.
*Not good a writing concert scenes so let's skip ahead some.*
Logan wiped his forehead. The stage was hotter than usually for some reason, and it wasn't helping the horrible headache he had. Neither were the flashing lights or the screaming fans.
Logan closed his eyes; glad it was James' solo in Stuck. It's the last concert. He thought. It's the last concert. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times when his vision blurred. It's the last concert. He covered his eyes as everything started spinning. It's the. Last concert. Logan felt himself falling, but he couldn't stop it. It's. The. Last. Concert. Logan felt his body hit the floor. He could hear the screaming around him grow louder, then softer. It's...the...last...concert. The last… Logan closed his eyes.
Kendall stood there watching as James and Carlos sang in front of him. It was their last concert and everyone was super pumped. James was doing back flips every chance he got. Carlos was jumping around like crazy. Logan was…
Kendall froze. It was Logan's turn to sing, and he hadn't started. He slowly turned to look at where Logan was to see him just…collapse. Everything seemed to slow down as he watched him fall. He could see James and Carlos turning around to see what was wrong too. He could hear the fans yelling in panic.
"Logan!" He heard Carlos yell, which snapped him out of his trance. Everything sped up quickly and he took off towards Logan, as did Carlos and James. Carlos reached him first, as he was standing directly in front of him.
Carlos dropped to his knees quickly, sliding over to his friend. "Logie?" He asked. He quickly ripped off the microphone as he heard it echo through the quiet stage. He pulled Logan's head into his lap, having his back facing the audience.
James and Kendall soon dropped down beside him. "Logan." James said, giving Logan's shoulders a shake. He and Kendall had taken off their microphones already.
"Let's get him backstage." Kendall said. Carlos nodded and James picked Logan up bridal style and carried him backstage, Kendall and Carlos following closely behind.
"What happened?" Gustavo yelled when he reached them, Kelly following close behind. The boys ignored him and walked over to the couch they had backstage and James laid Logan on it. Kendall quickly got down on his knees in front of Logan's face. James sat down next to him, putting a hand on Logan's arm. Carlos sat down by his feet.
"What did Logan tell us to do if someone ever fainted?" James asked Kendall.
"Oh umm…" Kendall rubbed his head trying to think. "Elevate his feet…and loosen his belt" Kendall said. Carlos nodded and put a few pillows under Logan's feet, while James loosened Logan's belt. Kendall put his hand on Logan's forehead. "Kelly, can you get a wet washrag or something?" Kelly nodded and walked away. Kendall stood up and un-button the top few buttons of Logan's shirt. Kelly returned and handed the washrag to Kendall who started dabbing Logan's forehead.
James started shaking Logan's shoulders. "Logie, buddy, come on you got to wake up. Please, wake up." He continued to shake him for a couple of minutes, until Logan broke into a coughing fit.
"Kelly, can you call an ambulance?" Carlos asked, but Kelly was already walking away, talking rapidly on the phone.
After a couple minutes of silence, besides Logan coughing every now and then, Kendall realized something was on the washrag. He looked at it for a second before realizing it was makeup. He looked back at Logan, who was coughing lightly. He gently dabbed the washrag around Logan's face, soon realizing that there was makeup on his face. He gently wiped the makeup away, revealing that Logan was paler, his cheeks were very red, and he had dark circles under his eyes. Kendall sighed and laid his forehead on Logan's shoulder.
"Guys." Kelly said as the paramedics walked in. They slowly moved out of the way and gave the paramedics room.
One of the paramedics walked over to them while 2 others put Logan onto a stretcher. "Do you know what happened?" She asked them.
Kendall shook his head. "We were just…having a concert." He said, not being able to think of anything else. "It was his turn to sing, and when he didn't I turned and saw him collapsing."
The paramedic nodded and turned back to the other two, who were checking over Logan, who had begun coughing on and off. "Let's get him to the hospital."
"Can we come with?" Carlos asked immediately.
The paramedic turned and looked at the three boys. "Since we don't know what's wrong, we'd rather not risk it." The three boys stared for a second, before nodding sadly. "But, you're more than welcome to follow."
Kendall paced in the waiting room. How he hated waiting rooms. He had been in them so many times recently for Logan, each time seeming scarier and scarier. He looked over at Carlos and James, who were watching him pace. "I. Hate this." He pointed out, sitting down next to Carlos.
Carlos let out a sad laugh and sat up, as he had been laying his head on James' shoulder. "Don't we all. Where'd Gustavo and Kelly go?" He asked, just realizing they were gone.
"They went out to talk to the press about 15 minutes ago." Kendall answered. Carlos nodded and laid his head back down on James' shoulder. Kendall pulled out his phone and checked the time. 11:01They had arrived at the hospital at 10:30. Even though it had only been a half hour Kendall was getting worried.
At 11:05 Kelly came back in. "Gustavo is talking to Griffin." She said when the boys gave her puzzled looks. They nodded and Kelly sat down in a chair near Kendall, not sitting right next to him.
At 11:11 a doctor walked out into the mostly empty waiting room. He didn't even have to call out, but just walked over to the group of teenage boys. "I'm guessing you're here for Logan Mitchell?" He asked, more of a statement than a question. The three boys nodded. "Well, my name is Doctor David, but you can call me Doctor D."
Kelly stood up and walked over to him. "What's wrong with him?" She asked.
Doctor D smiled. "Nothing serious." Everyone let out a sigh of relieve. "He was just –in simple terms- too tired to continue any longer, which caused him to faint. The bad case of the flu he has wasn't helping either. A night here and he'll be good to go, just make sure he get a large amount of a lot of sleep and takes the medicine for the flu I'll prescribe when he does." Doctor D smiled, trying to make the boys feel more at ease.
Kendall stood up. "Thank you." Doctor D smiled again and nodded. "Can we see him?"
"Yep. He's in a medicine induced sleep, so he shouldn't wake up anytime soon. He's in room 142. Go down that hall, turn left, turn right, another left and you'll be there. Oh, and the couch can be turned into a bed." He informed then with a wink.
Kendall thought over the directions before nodding. "Are we aloud to stay over night? Don't visiting hours end at midnight?" Kendall didn't really care about when the visiting hours ended anyway, because they'd be staying all night anyway, but he was still curious.
Doctor D nodded. "They do, and the nurses won't be too happy about this. But when they tell me that you boys are staying past visiting hours, I'll just tell them I'm the doctor and that I don't care."
"Thanks again." Kendall looked back at his friends before waving to the doctor and heading towards Logan's room.
Kendall sighed as he opened the hospital room door. The room was dark, except dim over light hanging above the one bed, giving the room an eerie dim orange glow.
Kendall didn't like the sight he saw, even though nothing was truly wrong, he didn't like it. Logan was pale, well paler than Kendall liked. He said dark circles under his eyes and his nose was red. Every now and then he'd let out a cough or a sniffle. Well, he looked better than he did backstage, but the fact of him being in a hospital seemed to make the scene worse.
Kendall slowly walked over to the bedside, pulling one of the plastic chairs closer to it.
"Oh Logie." Carlos said, sitting on the end of the bed.
James sighed and moved towards the small couch and started pulling out the bed. "We should all get some sleep." He said as he threw a cushion beside the couch.
"I'm not ti-red." Carlos said, yawning.
James chuckled. "Well the sooner you fall asleep the sooner you can," He took a deep breath. "The sooner you can actually talk with Logan." He said the last part with a semi-shaky voice.
Carlos nodded reluctantly and walked over to the pull-out bed, grabbing one of the pillows that had been on the couch, and lying down. In seconds he was asleep.
"He falls asleep so easily." Kendall said with a small laugh.
James nodded and grabbed one of the extra blankets that laid by Logan's bed. "You should get to bed to Kendall. You being awake won't help him, you know?"
Kendall nodded. "How did we not see he was tiring himself to the point of…this." He said, gesturing to the room.
James shrugged and laid down on the bed next to Carlos, throwing the blanket over them. "It's Logan. He wouldn't have said anything until this happened. Get some sleep, it's late."
Kendall pulled his phone out again. 11:30.They were in Missouri, so in California time it was only 9:30. "I better go call my mom first."
James nodded, already half asleep. "M'kay." Kendall smiled and walked out of the room.
Kendall walked in with a small smile on his face. His mom had told them to take all the time they needed and to not over work themselves anymore. Kendall promised they wouldn't and was now standing at the hospital room door, looking over his friends.
Carlos was fast asleep, not looking like he a moved a muscle, but the pillow he had been using was now covering a snoring James' face. James was lying sprawled out as much as he could on the small bed, the pillow covering his face (and muffling his snoring.)
Logan was the same, laying in the slightly risen hospital bed. His head was drooped to one side, one hand under it while the other held the blanket wrapped around him. Kendall rubbed his eyes and sat back down in the hard plastic chair next to the bed, propping his feet up next to Logan's. He knew his back and neck were going to be stiff in the morning, but at the moment that's how he was most comfortable.
Logan woke up to pure silence, something he hadn't heard in a long time. He was too comfortable to try and even open his eyes, so he just pulled the blanket that was on him around him tighter.
After a couple of minutes, as he woke up more he realized he could hear snoring. He automatically knew it was James and Kendall, as they were the only 2 who snored. Logan felt a small smile pull at his lips, but he still laid still.
After a couple more minutes, a thought dawned on him. When did I go to bed?He thought back to the previous day. He remembered the concert. He remembered how he started feeling hot a dizzy. The last thing he remembered was someone yelling his name.
"Logan!" Carlos' feared filled voice echoed loud and clear in his ears, causing Logan to sit up quickly, thinking he had actually heard it. Logan's abrupt action cause Kendall's legs, which were apparently on the bed, to fall, which, caused Kendall to flip backwards in the seat he was in. The loud crash of Kendall hitting the ground caused Carlos to shot up out of the bed he had been lying in, which caused the blanket that he had had wrapped around himself to pull out from under James, who had been lying on top of the blanket, which caused James to flip off the bed and onto the floor.
Logan watched the chain reaction, trying and failing to not laugh. Finally when James hit the floor he busted up, immediately covering his mouth. "My bad." He chuckled.
At the sound of Logan's voice Carlos looked at him and his eyes lit up. "Logan!" He yelled, running over and giving him a hug.
"Carlos!" Logan mimicked, wrapping his arms around him.
Kendall and James stood up from their places on the floor. They smiled at seeing Logan awake, and started laughing when he shot them a puzzled look. Carlos released him while Kendall put the chair back on its legs. "Glad to see you're awake." Kendall said patting Logan on the shoulder.
Logan rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm so sorry about that." He said quickly.
Kendall smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, switching places with Carlos who sat in the chair. "Dude, why didn't you tell us you were exhausted, andhad the flu?" He asked.
Logan shrugged. "I figured I would just sleep on the way back to California. I didn't think I'd pass out in the middle of the concert." He looked around the room. "How long have I been out and where are we?"
James, who was folding the bed back into place, answered. "We're still in Missouri and about 12 hours." He said, looking at the wall clock.
"Oh…" Logan looked back down at the bed. "So, when can we leave?" He asked.
"I should've called the doctor as soon as you woke up." Kendall said, leaning over the bed and pressing the button for the nurse.
They all sat in a comfortable silence. Logan had laid back again the bed, closing his eyes and just relaxing, while the other three boys just watched them, glad he was okay.
Doctor D came in a few minutes later. "Ah, good morning Logan, boys-who's-names-I-do-not-know." He said, earning chuckles from all the boys.
"Morning Doctor...?" Logan asked, sitting up a little higher.
"David, but I prefer Doctor D. Now, I'm just gonna do a quick check up and then you'll probably be free to go, unless you developed some weird disease in the period of 12 hours." That joke made Logan and the Doctor D laugh, but the other boys looked quickly at the doctor with wide, worried eyes.
"He's kidding." Logan laughed, laughing more when the three boys sighed in relief. His laughter was cut off as he started coughing.
The doctor walked over to the bed and handed Logan a water bottle that he had brought with him. Logan nodded his thanks, as he was still coughing. He took a big drink and ended up choking on the water, which resulted in another coughing fit and another drink of water.
"Are you good now?" The doctor asked, making the three boys laugh, but Logan bit his tongue, not wanting to end up in another coughing fit.
Logan nodded and the check up went fast, and soon the boys were thanking Doctor D and heading out the hospital.
As soon as the boys walked outside Logan stopped. "Okay, let's call Kelly and head home. I'm dying for Fishstick Friday." The other three boys stopped and glared at Logan. After a few short coughs he said, "What?"
"Wrong choice of words, dude." James said, making the other boys smile.
"Whatever, can we go?" Logan asked with annoyed tone
"Fine, but if you ever faint again, I will knock you out cold." Kendall said, making all the boys start laughing hard.
OMG! THIS IS FINALLY DONE! I STARTED THIS AT THE START OF THE SUMMER AND IT'S FINALLY DONE! YAY! Idk if it's the longest chapter, but oh well, I'm proud of it.
Okay, so a few things to say before I wrap this up.
1: I hate school.
2: I really hate school.
3: This is the first in the long line to come of stories to be finished. I should have another one up tomorrow or Thursday, but we'll see.
Okay, so that's that.
Elaa!
