It was Monday night as Kendall sat on his bed with James and they looked at Carlos who was pacing in front of them apparently having some sort of meltdown. "You guys! The last time I talked to you, James, you said you didn't know. KENDALL! You said you DIDN'T know!" The words he was stressing were stressed a little too much as they were all rose an entire octave.
"Carlos, calm boy!" Logan said as he pointed to the floor with a crooked smirk on his face. "It's fine. Aren't you bi anyways?"
"That's not the POINT!" He continued to yell. "It's the fact that they were coming to me for advice and I wasn't the first to know that one of them was gonna pop the freaking question!"
"Well, I gotta pee." Kendall said as he stood with a sigh wanting to get away from the upset Latino, who really shouldn't be upset with anything. He should be happy that he kind of played match maker. Kendall put his head in his hand as he walked and whispered, "God, help us."
The next morning everyone got up at the normal hour of 5 and had breakfast. Kendall was dragging his feet a little and he thought that maybe it was just because of what had happened the night before. He had expected to get weird looks from everyone but nothing had changed. Well, last night everyone kind of stared but this morning it was as if nothing had happened. He knew that people had become more accepting as being bi or even full on gay was almost a normal occurrence.
Kendall looked down at his watch as they approached the cafeteria for breakfast. It was already 605. That meant that he had 20 minutes to eat before going back to change into running shorts and a t-shirt and still enough time to make it to his first day of work. He was grateful that James and Carlos would be there on his first day of work. He felt bad that the other boys had no one there for them on their first days.
"Dude, you ok?" Logan asked as he noticed Kendall was staring off into space not even eating.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just nervous for work." He said as he snapped out of his thoughts. He ate quietly listen to his friends talk about their days at work.
"Both of my days were fine. The different shifts are weird because there are different routines but other than that it's pretty easy. We just need to remember our basic medications." Logan went on to say.
"Yeah, though like I said. I had some guy flip on me over a shot! It was just penicillin!" Carlos said thinking back on that moment.
After breakfast Kendall took his jog and got back within 15 minutes.
"Hey, I'm gonna take a shower real quick." He told James and Carlos as they sat on their beds talking.
"Ugh, I'm so nervous." Kendall said as he walked with James and Carlos to the hospital on the other side of the base.
"You will be fine. I'm telling you. No one really needs that much help. Just their pills and to have bandages check on wounds that are already mostly healed. It's nothing. The worst part is giving them meds because they are getting sick up them every four hours." James explained trying to calm his boyfriend's nerves.
Kendall just nodded, swallowing hard to push away the nerves.
"Hi, there. How are you feeling?" Kendall asked as he approached a bed that held a young man with a broken leg.
"Eh, I'm in a little bit of pain. Are you able to give me anything yet?" He asked. He had deep blue eyes and jet black hair. Kendall smiled as he handed the spoonful of meds to him.
"Yup, I've got your ibuprofen right here." After the man had taken all the pills into his mouth Kendall held a straw up to his lips as he took them all down.
As Kendall stood he looked to his left and saw James leaving his med cart and approaching a man with a syringe.
"Diabetic?" Kendall asked as he fell in step next to James.
"Yeah, and I pray he cooperates better than he did yesterday! It was hell!" James said though put on his most stunning smile when the man in the bed looked up at them. "Hi, there! I'm back with your insulin." James said as he approached the man and they pulled the curtains around the bed. Today he happily lifted his shirt and revealed a lightly bruised area on his flat stomach. Kendall bit his lip and thanked God that he didn't have any health problems.
The rest of the night went about the same, just helping with minor problems. Though, at noon everyone was grateful when the caddy came around with lunch at 1130. At 1155 next shift was arriving and received report.
All the way to lunch the boys talked about how their days had went by uneventfully. Kendall couldn't stop smiling. He had survived his first day and he couldn't be happier. He almost felt jittery. After they had sat down for lunch with Logan Kendall noticed that he was acting happier than he should be.
"Alright, what you so excited about?" Kendall asked as he eyed the dark haired boy suspiciously.
Logan dug in his pocket then exclaimed, "I've got this!" He held out his phone for the other three to see. They hadn't seen one of these in months!
They all got so excited they forgot about lunch. "Dude, my Ipod!" James said reminding Kendall that he wanted his music back so desperately.
"Let's go boys!" Carlos said standing with his tray to dump.
All three raced off as Logan strolled behind them texting someone who wasn't important to the other three at the moment. When they arrived to their beds they noticed that mail had been neatly laid out.
The first thing they noticed was a guitar on James' bed. "Dude, how did you get that?" Kendall asked pointing to the wooden object.
"I asked my mom if she could try and get me my guitar since we only live 45 minutes from here. I guess she was able to get it cleared!" James said as he held it close to his body as if it were his baby.
Kendall grabbed his Ipod putting in the ear buds and laid on his bed pressing play to the first song that came on shuffle. He closed his eyes and listened to 'Far Away' by Nickelback, one of his favorite bands.
Alright guys! Let me know what you think!
By the way, I do not own anything BTR. I just want to throw that out there now before I forget in the future!
