Chapter 2: Panic

James' POV

I was standing outside the door, when I decided to look into the room. I noticed that Kendall was acting very strangly, so I decided to see what was going on. I opened the door to the room that Jo was in and see if Kendall was OK. Jo looked... horrible. I then went over to Kendall.

"Dude, what's going on?"

"James, I can't breathe. The world is spinning. I think I need to go to the ER!"

"It'll be ok. Here let me help you." I said as I lifted my hyperventilating best friend. Then Kendall passed out in my arms.

"It was nice seeing you Jo, I really hope you get better. But right now I need to get Kendall help."

"I'll be fine, just get him taken care of. Then come tell me what happened."

Carlos, Logan, and I waited paitently by Kendall's bedside as we awaited the lab results. All of us were worrying about him, somehow he always knew something would happen if she ever came back into his life. But we didn't expect for her to have cancer. There was a knock at the door and a woman in a labcoat came in. Kendall had regained consciousness, but now was resting.

"Hey guys, my name is Dr. Cambridge. I came by with Kendall Knight's lab results."

"Is he gonna be alright?" I asked her.

"He's gonna be just fine, he just had a mild panic attack. But I'm going to keep him overnight for observation, and prescribe some anti-anxiety medication. Do you guys know what caused this reaction?"

"We came by the hospital because he got a call from his ex-girlfriend's sister saying that she was here because she was diagnosed with cancer. And I guess he didn't know what would happen to him, if something ever happened to her."

"James... What's going on?" Kendall was starting to wake up.

"Hey, buddy." Carlos said. "This is Dr. Cambridge, she has your lab results. You're gonna be OK."

"She said you only had a mild panic attack." I added.

"I just told your friends, I'm gonna keep you overnight and prescribe some anti-anxiety medication. You should be good to go in the morning." Then she left the room.

"What's going on in your head right now Kendall?" Logan asked.

"How could she have cancer? She's always kept herself healthy, if she gets sick, she'll get some medicine right away." Tears were starting to come again in Kendall's eyes.

"I know this is going to be hard on you, buddy. Hey, it's gonna be hard on all of us. But we will never, ever give up on her. When she needs to talk, we'll listen. When she wants company, we'll be there." Logan said sympathetically. Tears were now starting to form in all of our eyes as we were starting to cope with the news Jo had recieved.

"Someone should go tell Jo that I am alright." Kendall said, wiping away tears.

"I wanna stay with you." Carlos said to Kendall.

"I'll go." Logan offered.

"Are you sure you want to? I mean I'll go if you don't want to." I asked him.

"You should stay with Carlos and Kendall."

Logan left the room.
