Note: Here's the second chapter to A Family Matter and I must say I'm super excited with this story and how it's going I think you readers are going to like it! So onto the Chapter.
Kendall pulled to a stop as he parked out in front of La Mercy General Hospital. Without a word he and Carlos were out of the car and racing through the doors.
"Kendall." Carlos said pointing to the nurse's station. Kendall nodded and they raced to the nurse's desk.
"Can I help you?" the nurse asked.
"Yes, I'm looking for my friends…one of them was just brought in here and…" The cluster of noises brought Kendall to a stop and turned toward the direction of the ER waiting room doors.
As Kendall began to explain to the nurse their situation Carlos looked around the room. The ER doors opened. James came out ever so slowly. "Kendall…Kendall look." Carlos said immediately.
"What?" Kendall asked turning in that direction. "James." Kendall called quickly racing toward his friends.
"James? Where's Logan? Is okay?" Carlos asked.
James didn't answer he just moved toward the waiting room chairs not even realizing Kendall and Carlos were there.
"James? Please talk to us. What's going on?" Kendall questioned kneeling beside James placing a hand on James's shoulder.
James swallowed hard and looked up at Kendall. "What happened?" Kendall asked completely terrified of the answer.
"His heart." James said he could exactly form complete sentences right now it was too much.
"What about his heart?" Carlos asked moving to sit in the chair across from James.
"It stopped." James said.
"What? What do you mean it stopped?" Kendall asked.
"Like I said it stopped…" James said.
"But I don't…" Kendall stammered.
"He was…and suddenly there were these noises and…the next thing I know his chest was heaving up and down up and down…they almost didn't get him back." James explained.
"They got him back though?" Carlos stated.
James nodded. "Yes, but…technically…for like a minutes…he was dead." James said.
Kendall felt his knee's give out underneath him and he was knocked to the ground.
It was unbelievable. Logan had died. He actually died. They almost lost him.
There was complete silence between the three friends until there was sob. Kendall's head shot up.
"James." Kendall said leaning toward him placing a hand on James's knee.
"I watched him die." James cried. "He was right in front of me. They couldn't get him back." James said.
"But he's okay. Logan's okay he's going to get the help he needs and he's going to be fine." Kendall said.
James shook his head. "You don't…you don't know that. What if it happens again? And this time they can't get him back? Or they do and it's not in the right way?" James asked.
"Don't think like that. Logan wouldn't want you think like that." Carlos said.
"I can't help it. You weren't there. You didn't see it!" James cried desperately trying to get his friends to realize what he had seen.
"James." Kendall sighed.
"No…I just I need to be alone." James said shaking his head and standing up from his chair.
"Where are you going?" Carlos asked.
"For a walk." James said began walking away but paused and turned around.
"Call me if you hear anything on Logan." James said.
"We will." Kendall said.
Carlos groaned leaning back in his chair. "What are we going to do?" Carlos asked.
"I need to call my Mom." Kendall stated. "I'll be right back." He said. Carlos nodded.
Kendall left the room and walked into the hallway and took out his cell phone sucking in a breath before dialing his mother's number.
"Kendall!" His mother's frantic voice cried over the phone.
"Mom." Kendall sighed.
"I've been trying to call you for the last half hour! Where have you been?!" she said.
"Mom…Listen I have to tell you something and before I do you have to promise not to freak out." Kendall said slowly.
"Freak out? Why would I freak out? Are you boys okay?" Mrs. Knight asked panicked.
"Mom…you need to come to La Mercy General Hospital as soon as you can." Kendall said.
"Hospital? Why? Who's hurt? What's wrong?" She asked.
Kendall sighed. Not speaking for a moment.
"Kendall Knight tell me what's going on?!" She demanded.
Kendall let out a sob. "Logan's hurt Mom…I mean he's really hurt…he got shot and he's…I just I need you." Kendall said.
"I'll grab Katie and we'll be there in ten minutes." Mrs. Knight said.
"Thank you Mama." Kendall said.
"I love you Kendall." Mrs. Knight said.
"I love you too Mom." Kendall said before hanging up the phone.
Kendall sighed and headed back into the room. "Anything yet?" Kendall asked Carlos.
Carlos shook his head. "Nothing." Carlos said. "What did your Mom say?"
"She'll be here in ten minutes with Katie." Kendall said.
"Do you think we should find James?" Carlos asked.
"Give him some time." Kendall said.
Carlos nodded and turned back to the ER doors.
"Kendall." Mrs. Knight called Kendall immediately got up from his seat and raced toward her hugging her. Carlos did the same things.
"How are you boys?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"Scared." Kendall said.
Mrs. Knight sighed. "Listen let me see if I can find out anything." Mrs. Knight said.
"Thanks Mom." Kendall said before Mrs. Knight walked away and Kendall and Carlos took their seat.
"Katie do you want to sit?" Carlos asked.
"I'm fine." Katie said shaking her head.
"Katie. Come here." Kendall said.
Tearfully Katie climbed on Kendall's lap. "Is Logan going to be okay?" Katie asked.
"I don't know Katie. But Logan's really strong he'll make it through this." Kendall said.
"I hope so. He's kind of my brother too…and I don't want to lose him either." Katie said.
"You won't lose him." Kendall whispered.
Mrs. Knight returned within five minutes and walked over to her kids. "What did you find out?" Kendall asked.
"Well, the surgery he's having could take hours." Mrs. Knight said. "But the nurse is going to come out here and let us know."
Kendall nodded. "Kendall has anyone called Melissa?" Mrs. Knight asked.
Kendall and Carlos looked at each other. Melissa was Logan's older sister. No one really talked to her anymore since their Mother had died a year before they left Minnesota. Melissa had moved to New York to attend NYU.
"I never thought of her." Kendall said.
"We should call her." Mrs. Knight said.
"I'll call her." Kendall said.
"Are you sure?" Mrs. Knight asked.
Kendall nodded. "It will give me an excuse to look for James as well." Kendall said.
"Okay honey. We'll call you if we hear anything on Logan." Mrs. Knight said.
"Thanks." Kendall said. Katie got off Kendall's lap and moved to her Mothers.
"I'll be back." Kendall said leaving the room and walking down the hallway.
Kendall turned down the hallway and once again reached for his phone searching for Melissa's number. He was hoping it was still the right number.
After a few rings the recipient finally answered. "Hello?" the person said with a giggle.
"Melissa?" Kendall questioned.
"Yes?" she questioned.
"Melissa Mitchell." Kendall questioned just to be sure.
"This is her. Can I ask who's Calling?" Melissa asked.
"It's Kendall Knight." Kendall said.
He could hear Melissa swallow hard. "Kendall. It's been a few years." Melissa said.
"Three but that's not the point." Kendall said.
"Okay, so what's the point? You haven't called me in three years?" Melissa said slightly annoyed quietly whispering to someone on the other end.
"I'm calling because of Logan." Kendall said.
Melissa paused. "Melissa you still there?" Kendall asked.
Melissa gulped. "Yes, um you were saying you were calling about Logan." Melissa said.
"Logan was shot." Kendall said….
Dun dun dun! Hey guys! I thought I'd bring Logan's older sister in this right way. But here she is. We're going to learn more about their Mom's death and why they became estranged in later chapter but until next time…
