As they threw their things in the back of their vehicles the Sargent was yelling out, "Just relax men. It's gonna be about an hour's drive and even then you won't be in too much dangers, though we are gonna go all Vietnam on your asses and make you hike it."

"Oh, perfect!" Carlos grumbled out sarcastically while rolling his eyes, "its fucking freezing out!"

Kendall couldn't agree more, it was freezing out, and it was snowing. Well, he signed up for it so might as well get it all over with and make the best of it….well, whatever best there was.

"When we get there we need to be quiet just to make sure that we don't draw more attention to ourselves than we have to, OK?" the short man shouted.

"Yes, sir!" They all said in unison before climbing in the back of their assigned trucks. They were quite cramped and should have only fitted three but, of course, they all four squeezed in with their bags.

Kendall scooted close to James in hope of gaining some of his body heat. "Carlos, your right, it is really fucking cold out here!" He intertwined his fingers with James who in return kissed his cheek.

"Damn right!" Logan said in agreement practically sitting in Carlos' lap who wrapped his arms around the smaller male's waist bringing him closer.

"God, you guys are cheesy!" Kendall grumbled as he cuddled closer to James.

"Oh, and you're not all lovey dovey?" Logan protested waving his hand in his direct.

"Nope!" Kendall answered with a smile.

"Yeah, whatever."

"Yeah, that's right." James added, feeling the need to be in one this conversation.

After five minutes of mindless banter James finally said, "Hey guys, how about we get some shut eye. I have a feeling we won't be getting any cozy warm beds tonight."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Logan said wrapping his arms around himself. "I just don't want to wake up to a nightmare."

James reached across to him to take his hand and said "hey, we are going to be ok, alright?"

Logan didn't look up and just nodded slightly, "No, look at me." James said his voice getting harder. Logan looked at him from under his dark eyelashes. "We are all going to go home to our families. We are going to live long and happy lives, together, because we are all going to be together after this!"

Kendall put his hand on James' back feeling him shaking underneath him.

"James." Carlos whispered, almost hesitant to speak.

James sat back so fast Kendall had to snatch back his hand before it got smashed between him and the vehicle wall. He looked at James who had a mixture of emotions running over his features that Kendall couldn't even make it out. "James, your right, we are all going to be ok." Kendall said placing his hand on the brunette's thigh trying to do anything he could to comfort him, though, this made him break.

"Oh, God." Kendall whispered moving closer to James who now had his face hidden in his hands, elbows on his knees, and wiping away every tear almost before it even had a chance to fall. He was shaking fighting to hold in every sob that was building in his throat. "Come here, James." And with that the brunette crumpled in Kendall's lap pulling his shirt up to hide his face.

Kendall looked up at Logan and Carlos silently pleading with help, though all he got were shakes of their heads telling him they were just as lost as he was, so he just rubbed James' back whispering that everything was going to be ok and that he loved him, even though he didn't know how ok they were going to be. To be honest, he figured that if they came out physically fine that they were going to go home and wake up with nightmares for the rest of their lives and live with Post Traumatic Stress for years and years just like everyone who sees any sort of gruesome experience. He was pretty sure Carlos was already scarred for the rest of his life just from losing Christopher.

James soon fell asleep in Kendall's lap and the other three boys were able to hunker down for a bit as well, though Kendall couldn't sleep no matter how hard he tried. He put his head back, closing his eyes, gently running his fingers through James' soft hair. He looked across at Carlos and Logan who had seemed to find some sort of sleep, Logan's head on the Latino's shoulder who rested his head on top of the brunettes.

"Get up. We gotta get going if we are ever gonna gain any ground before dark." The harsh whispered pulled Kendall out of the sleep that he hadn't even been expecting. Quickly he shook James awake before nudging Carlos and Logan awake.

"Alright guys, let's get a move on." And with that the man was gone moving to the next truckload of boys. James, Kendall, and Carlos jumped out while Logan stayed to hand them their bags before joining them on the ground. There was a path that was surrounded with bare trees though there were the few pine trees that gave them some form of shelter from the relentless wind.

"Come and grab a gun from this truck back here." A young man, even younger than Kendall, said with a wave of his hand to follow him.

Soon after they had received their weapons and an adequate amount of ammunition they were ushered into a single file line. Kendall went to lift the hood on his wind breaker before a hand ripped it down and out of his hands pulling it tight around his neck, "do you wanna get us shot at because you can't see out of your peripherals?"

He just shook his head pulling his gun closer to him. It had been a while since he had shot a gun. There was a gun range at the place they had just left. Him and Carlos had spent an afternoon there before Logan and James had been flown out here. That was like, two months ago? Yeah, that sounded right.

I know a really, really shitty chapter and an abrupt ending.
