Well, um, nothing to say for this A/N.

Chapter 4: News.

James stopped his pacing to look up at the clock above the doors. It was almost 10 after midnight. Logan had been, well wherever they took him, for almost 4 hours now. He was starting to worry, but he was glad nobody had came out to tell him Logan was dead yet.

"Oh, crap." Kendall said.

James turned and looked at him, Carlos was asleep laying against Kendall. "What?" James asked.

"My mom has called 15 times. I totally forgot about calling her." Kendall said running a hand through his hair and looking down at the sleeping Carlos on his chest. "She's probably having a heart attack right now, thank goodness Katie went to go stay the week with a friend in Minnesota." Kendall said.

James walked over to where he was sitting. "Here, switch me." James said, gently putting a hand against Carlos' shoulder and head to hold him up. Kendall slowly escaped from under Carlos and James took his place before Carlos woke up.

"Now, excuse me while I call my mom and let her yell at me for 10 minutes. You get me a-sap if you get any news." Kendall said, pointing at James.

"Uh, duh?" James said, a small smile forming on his face. Everyone had gotten used to the feeling of saddness, so it was a little easier to be happy for a moment.

Kendall nodded and walked out the doors.

James sat there for about 30 seconds before Carlos started squirming. Soon he sat up and blinked a couple times, looking at James. "Whoa, what happened to Kendall?"

"Mama Knight called. Several times." James said.

Carlos made a small "Oh."

James nodded. "Yeah. So, he went outside to call her. She's probably screaming bloody murder at him right now for scarring her."

Carlos chuckled a few times before laying his head on James' shoulder. "Has there been any news?" He asked.

James almost answered, but a doctor walked through the double doors, wearing scrubs covered with blood. James looked around the rooms, silently hoping there was someone else who he could be coming in for. Seeing noboy, which was probably a good thing, James held a hand up, telling Carlos to stay seated, before walking over to the doctor.

"Your here for Logan Mitchell?" He asked, but it kinda sounded like a statement.

"Yes sir." James said, nodding, a knot twisting up tight in his stomach.

"Well, I'm Dr. Kyle Elliott.

"Nice to meet you. How is Logan?"

The doctor looked at the ground, took a deep breath, then looked back up at James and-

"Hey, Mom?" Kendall asked once he heard his mom pick up.

"Oh my goodness Kendall! Where are you? And where are the other boys?" Kendall turned and looked at hospital doors behind him, not really having the energy to tell his mom where he was at. And, truthfully, he'd rather have her yelling at him for a few minutes and let her be angry longer, before telling her that one of her boys were in the hospital because he got shot in the head. Especially because the last piece of news he got was that Logan was crashing.

"Curfew is 11 o'clock for you boys and you now it! How dare you be out at such a late hour! And it such a city like L.A.! And how come you never answered me when I called? 15 times Kendall! 15 times! You know very well that you should have your phone with you at all times! Unless your at like movie at something, but I always know when your at the movies because you tell me.

"But you didn't tell me anything! You just up and left the house without telling me where you were going and when you would be back. And I understand that your all grown up and don't need to tell me every where you go and every time, but if you're gonna be out this late I'd really prefer to know where you are!" She ended with a small huff.

Kendall sighed. "Mom-"

"Just, just tell me where you are right now!" She yelled.

"Mom, I'm...I'm at the hospital." He heard a small gasp, and knew he was about to be overloaded with questions. "It-it's Logan. He- he-" The tears were welling up in his eyes again.

"He what, Kendall?" His mom asked calmly, but Kendall could tell she was probably getting her shoes on right now.

"He got shot." Kendall cried, knees shaking dangerously. He collapsed against the building wall and slid down to a sitting position. "Some-some homophobic women shot him in the head. Oh my god, Mom, we've been sitting here for 4 hours without any news. He was crashing when he arrived." Kendall said.

He heard a deep sigh on the other end. "I...I'll be right there. Call me right away if you hear anything before I get there. Be careful."

"Same to you Mom. I've seen you drive when your worried." Kendall chuckled half heartedly, wiping his eyes.

"Love you, sweetie. Tell the same to James' and Carlos' and-"

Kendall nodded, knowing what his mom was about to say. "I know Mom. Love you too."

With that, Kendall told her the hospital and where to come in at, and they said there goodbyes. Kendall went back inside.

The doctor looked at the ground, took a deep breath, then looked back up at James and smiling. "Jeez, you have a lucky friend, son. He was probably the toughest case I had in a long time, both on his part and on mine. The bullet went in, but only slightly, causeing some internal bleeding, but nothing too serious. Didn't hit anything too vital, we're gonna run a couple test here in a while."

"So- so he's okay?" James asked.

The doctor nodded and shrugged. "More or less, the risk of swelling and all the other brain damage... stuff are still in a high risk of happening. We'll be keeping a close watch on that. But, as of right now, he's pretty stable. The situation itself is gonna leave him listed as in critical condition for a couple days, but I'm gonna say you have a pretty lucky friend on your hands."

"Yes, yes, thank you. I- I have to go tell my friends." James said, practically bouncing in his shoes. He was alright! Logan was alright!

"And I have to go change. After we run some more test and get his room set up, I, or one of my nurses, will come down to tell you where to go to see him. Don't panic if it takes a while, sometimes the test take a little while. If you don't feel like waiting so long, you could-"

"No, no, don't worry about that. We'll wait." James said.

"Okay, well, we'll call you back in a few hours." The doctor said, before giving a small nod and walking back through the double doors.

James all but jumped back over to where Carlos and Kendall, who must have returned while he was talking to the Dr. Elliott. Kendall and Carlos shared a look, before looking back at James with hopeful eyes.

"He's alright. He said there's still a chance some stuff could happen, but he said Logan was pretty lucky. They're gonna run some more test to make sure everything's fine, and he said it's gonna take a couple hours, but once they're done they're gonna call us back to see him."

Carlos and Kendall both jumped up to hug James, all three suddenly in tears of joy. Sure, everything was perfect, but it was alright. At that moment, everything was alright.

Even though Kendall had told her to be careful, Mrs. Knight had been a speed demon on the near-empty streets of L.A., arriving at the hospital in record time.

She walked through the doors to see three crying boys wrapped in each other's arms, looking like they weren't going to let go anytime soon. Her stomach dropped at the sight, immediantly thinking the worse had happened.

She walked over slowly, but as she got closer, she saw small smiles on the boys' faces, little laughs escaping one of them every now and then. Everything seemed to lighten up as she approached.

She gently tapped Kendall on the shoulder, making the boy jump away from the other two and turn around to hug her. "He's alright." Kendall whispered. "They said he was alright."

Mrs. Knight hugged Kendall back and looked up at James and Carlos, who both still had one arm around each other's waist. Carlos was gently wiping away the tears with the back of his hand, while James savored the feeling of happy tears falling down his face. Mrs. Knight sent them a smile holding out an arm, offering them to join the hug.

Carlos jumped foward and joined in, but James just held up a hand and shook his head. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." James said, sending a thumbs up to Mrs. Knight before walking to the other end of the waiting room and into the 1 stall men's bathroom.

James gently locked the door before sliding down against it, tears falling rapidly now. It was such a feeling of relief, James probably could've passed out. Instead, he sat on the bathroom floor, gently playing with the fur of the teddy bear, tears falling down, completely soaking the neck of his t-shirt.

Once the tears slowed down, he stood up and walked over to the sink. Even though it wasn't the most practical way, he got some hand soap, turned the water on, and began gently cleaning the teddy bear. A smile formed on his face as he washed it, gently humming "Nothing Even Matters" under his breath.
