Chapter 3: More Bad News
"Hehe... I can't feel my legs, Camille..." Logan said.
Camille's went wide in shock.
Suddenly, Lucy came in and she waved her hand in front of the shocked girl's face.
"Hello! Camille! Are you in there?" Lucy asks, still waving her hand.
Coming out of her trance, she shouts, "LOGAN CAN'T FEEL HIS LEGS!"
"WELL?! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! PRESS THE CALL BUTTON!" Lucy shouts back.
All of the shouting made Logan whimper.
"You're talking too loud!" Logan whimpers.
"I'm sorry for yelling, Logie Bear. I'm going to call the doctor in here, to find out why you can't feel your legs, okay, baby?" Camille coos, running her fingers through his raven hair.
Camille does what Lucy told her to do. The Doctor came in soon thereafter.
"Is everything alright in here?" He asked.
"H-He can't feel his legs!" Camille explains.
"So, doc. Can explain to us why he can't feel them?" Lucy asks.
"Well... There could be a possibility that there could be the swelling of the spinal cord or he may have damaged it."
Camille is just about ready to faint and so she did, right then and there. Lucy tries her best to hold her up.
"May I speak to his legal guardian?" The young doctor asks.
Oh yeah! That's right! He turns 18 next month... so, he's technically still 17. Lucy thought.
"Yeah. Mrs Knight is in the family room." Lucy answered.
"Thank you." Then the doctor left.

Meanwhile, in Carlos' room, Brunette Jennifer walks in and can't believe what she sees. He is in his hospital bed, with bandages wrapped around his head and he has cuts all over him. He looks less tan than before. She slowly walks closer to his bed.
"Oh Carlos..." Jennifer softly says, "I'm so so sorry this happened to you! You are too cute, loving and adorable for this to happen to you! I love you too much to lose you! I admit it! I think I am falling in love with you!"
Jennifer sits down in one of the chairs next to his bed, taking one of his hands, kissing it. She always had feelings for the cute Latino. When she first met him by the Palm Woods pool, her heart skipped a beat when she saw him in that tank top and those muscular arms...
She wanted to feel those strong arms around her. She felt bad when she threw her strawberry smoothie on him, but she didn't want anyone to know her secret. She just didn't want to disappoint the other Jennifers, because they don't want her to date a 'loser', but Brunette Jennifer secretly thought he wasn't one and that he was just an innocent, hyperactive boy and a human being, who should be treated with respect.
When she went to Prom with him, she had so much fun. During the whole thing, the other Jennifers told her to sabotage her own date. So, she had to act weird around Carlos. She wanted to stop the sabotage and tell him her true feelings for him, but she couldn't do it.
By the time she was going to, Blonde Jennifer and Curly Haired Jennifer had arrived to 'stick up' for her. Brunette Jennifer pretended to cry, so that the other Jennifers wouldn't get suspicious of her.
During the aftermath of Jo's departure, James had approached her and the other Jennifers, to ask one of them out - again. To her relief, he picked Blonde Jennifer as his girlfriend. When she broke up with him, Kendall came up to them and told Blonde Jennifer to take James back, so that James breaks up with her, instead of the other way around, which was weird.
Every time someone else dates Carlos, Brunette Jennifer would get jealous. She got jealous when Curly Haired Jennifer dating him. She was also jealous of Lucy Stone, because Carlos was giving her lots of attention on her first day at the Palm Woods, but all the jealousy died down when she turned him down, only becoming friends and nothing more. Nobody knew about her secret she was keeping. Not even Carlos.
Her thoughts were cut off when Carlos begins to stir. His eyes began to flutter open. "J-Jennifer?" Carlos hoarsely managed to say.
"Yes, Carlos! I-It's me!" Jennifer confirms, happy to see him.
"W-Where am I?"
"You're in the hospital."
"Oh..."
"Yeah... " Jennifer says. "Let me get the doctor." Just when she was about to get the doctor, Carlos grabs her wrist.
"Please... don't l-leave me!" Carlos pleads. "I love you, Jennifer! I always have! And... And, I know you feel the same!"
Jennifer is shocked at what she is hearing from the Latino.
"You really mean it?" Jennifer asks while still in shock.
"Yes... I really mean it..." Carlos answers.
"Oh Carlos..." Jennifer gives Carlos a hug, while trying not to hurt him.
Carlos suddenly asks a question that she wasn't ready to hear.
"Where's Logan?"
Before Jennifer could answer, a doctor came in the room.
"You're awake, I see." The doctor says, then he takes out his stethoscope. "Hi, Carlos. I'm Dr. Raymond. I'm just going to check your heart and lungs, okay?"
Carlos nodded.
"How is he?" Jennifer asked.
"He is doing just fine for now. We did an emergency MRI. We just wanted to make sure that he hasn't suffered any brain damage." Dr. Raymond answered.
"Oh... Okay. When will the results be in?"
"In about thirty minutes or so."
"Okay. Thank you, doctor!"
"You're welcome." With that, the doctor left the room.
Jennifer sat back down, grabbing Carlos' hand again, squeezing it.
"I love you..." Jennifer said.
"I love you, too..." Carlos said back.

Out in the hallway, Mrs Knight was sitting on a bench, holding Katie close to her, while she slept. They are just outside Carlos' room. Kendall and James had went to get something from the vending machine. The same doctor that was talking to Jennifer comes out of Carlos' room and headed off to another patient. He had spoken to Mrs Knight earlier about the Latino's condition.
Moments later, the same young doctor came to talk to her.
"Hello, Mrs. Knight," The doctor greeted. "I'm Doctor Parker. I came here to tell you that... According to the x-rays I got, there seem to be some swelling around the spinal area and possile damage. I'm sorry to say, he is paralyzed from the waist down."
Mama Knight put a hand over her mouth. The situation Logan is in was completely unexpected. How will she tell his parents? That their son was in a car wreck with his best friend and band mate? When they hear the news, will they be angry and take him back to Minnesota? She just can't bare the thought of that happening.
The doctor breaks her out of her thoughts when he asks, "Are you okay, ma'am?"
"Yes, I'm fine," Mama Knight answered. "Is there any way the doctors can repair the damage?"
"I'm afraid there is no way to repair the damage that has been done. Surgery may not help, either. In some cases, a patient would recover eventually. According to his medical records from Minnesota, he broke his spine before from a dangerous skateboard stunt in 2008. That is one reason why we can't perform surgery on his spine."
Mama Knight was just about ready to faint. How is she going to tell the Mitchells, especially his friends? This is going to be a long night...

It has been an hour since Carlos' MRI. The results haven't come back yet. While they waited, Carlos and Jennifer are enjoying each others company, cuddling on the plain white bed.
Suddenly, Mrs Knight came in with a sad look. She already told Logan and now she has tell Carlos the bad news. Jennifer stood up and let her get closer to Carlos. "Hi, Carlos. How are you feeling?" She kindly asked.
"Fine," Carlos answered.
"Good"
"Is there something wrong? Logan. Is it Logan? Is he-"
Mrs Knight cuts him off. "Don't worry! He's not dead! But... I'm sorry to say... but... Carlos, Logan could be paralyzed for the rest of his life."
Jennifer gasped.
"It's all my fault!" Carlos blamed himself.
"Sweetie, it is not your fault," Mama Knight said.
"But, I-" Suddenly, Carlos started convulsing on his bed. The monitors started going off.
"Oh my gosh! He's having a seizure!" Mrs Knight panicked, frantically pressing the call button.
Nurses and doctors hurried into the room, asking Mrs Knight and Jennifer to step out of the room, so they can work on him. When they sat down on the bench, Jennifer broke down into sobs, with Mrs Knight comforting her.
What else could possibly go wrong?
Dun dun dun! I know! I'm so mean! But, don't worry! There's more to come! ;)
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
Until next time! ~DBZstories1989
