I am so sorry for the late update but school has kicked my butt.. any way here is another chapter hope you like it! Please review at the end also!
When Kendall opened his eyes he saw that he was at the ice rink back in Minnesota. It was weird because it look exactly like it did when he dad would take him to play. Looking around he noticed that there where people skating at the end. There were four small boys and an older man with them.
Walking to the end with no difficulties, Kendall saw that one of the boys was him. With Logan, Carlos and James.
What? How could this be happening? How could Kendall be there and here?
"Hello?" Walking forward, Kendall walked up to the man that he knew right away was he father. "Dad? Dad!"
Kendall went forward to hug the man but he went right through him.
"Dad?"
"It's no use Kendall."
Looking over Kendall saw Mr. Diamond standing by the boards.
"Mr. Diamond? What... what is going on?" Kendall asked as he walked over. "Why can't they see me? Why am I over there with Logan, Carlos, and... James. Oh my god, where is James!"
"Calm down Kendall, everything is going to be okay just as long as you calm down." Setting the boy down on the ice they watched as Mr. Knight tought each boy how to play hockey. "Are you ready to talk now?"
"Yes, just tell me where I am." Kendall looked up from his hands where he was hiding his face.
"Don't you remember this place?"
"Yeah, but why am I here?"
"Kendall, you where in an accident, don't you remember?" Mr. Diamond looked at the boy with worry.
After minutes of thinking, images came back to Kendall slowly. James. White rose. The bridge. Threatening to jump. The wave. James.
"Oh my god, what happened am I dead?" Kendall got up and began to pace.
"That is up to you, now tell me, how is my son?" Looking over, he watched as the boys played and messed around.
"He.. he is great. Mr. Diamond-"
"Call me Henry."
"Okay, Henry, James and I are... we are-"
"Together? I know," receiving a confused look from the blond, he continued, " Kendall, I knew from the moment you two met on the ice that you would be together for ever. I didn't think it would turn to love, but now that it has, just makes me happier to know that you were there for him. I saw what you did to get him to get to live his dream, and I thank you for that."
"It wasn't really just me who helped."
"I know, but you did a lot more than you think. Now, I also saw that whole princess thing, trust me, I wanted to deck him so much."
Laughing Kendall sat back down.
"Trust me, I know how you feel, but I am still confused, what are we doing here any way? I mean, why here? Wouldn't I be back at the hospital if I didn't die?"
"Do you remember this day?"
"Yes, it is the day that we all met. My dad was with me, meeting the guys in the locker room we all decided to skate together."
"So, what does that tell you?"
Thinking hard, Kendall watched as James feel pretty hard and broke his hockey stick. They never figured out how suck a little boy could break suck a big stick. He watched as the blond boy ran forward and helped him back up. They couldn't hear what they were saying but Kendall knew that he was calming James down and handing over his own stick for the boy to use.
"This was the first time I ever helped him... my dad was so mad at me for helping a stranger like that but in the end everything worked out great. We became... best friends."
Without a warning there was a flash of light.
"Kendall! Please, breath!"
Sitting there, Kendall could feel something pressing hard into his chest. The next thing he knows is someone is forcing a breath into his mouth. CPR.
"James! He is breathing, right now we need to get him to the hospital. He is bleeding out fast!"
"Logan.." Kendall whispered. "I hear Logan!"
Laughing, Henry stood.
"Come on eyebrows. We are not done yet."
"But... James just gave me CPR! I must be alive!" Kendall jumped up and ran forward to catch up to Henry. "I am alive!"
"For now... right now we need to keep going."
Before Kendall could answer Henry disappeared in thin air, and Kendall could feel himself getting pulled in also.
"Oh god, please Kendall! Open your eyes!"
"James, you can't go with them, come one!"
"NO! KENDALL! KENDALL! I LOVE YOU!"
Opening his eyes, Kendall sees the auditorium where Gustavo held his audition for his next pop singer.
"What?... Henry!"
"Over here, now come on or we are going to miss the show!" Dragging the boy after him, Henry sat him down on the two chair away from Kelly and Gustavo.
"What show?"
Right after he said that he saw Logan come walking onto the stage. Remembering what he had told the smart by to do, Kendall watched as Logan silently did his bot box beat. He saw how Kelly liked it but Gustavo was just getting madder and madder.
Good thing Kendall couldn't hear him because with the way Logan reacted Kendall could have beat Gustavo's head in.
Next was Carlos, he never did know what the boy had done that caused the producer in front of them hate him, but that all changed when he saw him do the same thing he did at the talent show in 6th grade.
As he ran out Kendall said, "You know, he was the frist one in the whole school to fart into a microphone. After that, it seemed a lot more people did."
This caused Henry to laugh.
"You know who is next?"
"Hell yeah!"
As they watched James walk on the stage Kendall couldn't help but look over his should to see all their heads poke out a few seats behind them. What caused him to turn his head forward though, he could actually hear James' voice.
-People say I'm the life of the party...Because I tell a joke or two..Although I might be laughing loud and hearty ..Deep inside I'm blue... ahahadd."
"He as the best voice I have ever heard." Kendall said under his breath, he didn't expect Henry to hear him.
"I know."
When Kendall hears Gustavo yell at James he felt the erge to go up and defend him again, but when he passes himself yelling at the man in front of him he stopped. They couldn't hear anything again until he started singing.
-Girl my eyes! And girl my mind! It never stops after it starts! Cause your a girl a girl a girl! To my heart heart heart!-
"I still couldn't believe you jumped on the table like that!" Henry said as they watched Kendall push Gustavo out of his chair. Kendall just laughed.
-Hey! Here is a new hit for ya! oh your such a turd, oh yeah a giant turd, and you look like a turd. and you smell like a turd!-
"I don't know what to think of that song though.." Laughing to himself, they watched quietly again as all four of them got into the fight. "That old lady it weird."
"Yeah, she was my favorite neighbor...'' Kendal said as he watched all the fun they had at back then. After two years in LA, they were still having fun but it all changed. "Sometimes I wish that we could go back to Minnesota and be a family again like we were before all of this."
"Why is that? Do you not like being famous?"
"No it's not that, it's just... sometimes I just want to be able to be alone and not have people know my name. Just walk out on th street and be another stranger."
"Then why did you decide to go out to LA, will besides the obvious reason, for James' sake."
"He made it sound so like it was so much fun. It is, but not what I wanted to do. Don't get me wrong, I love singing and I don't plan on stopping but I really wanted to live my dream."
"Maybe you still can, and maybe you doing this for James will pay off."
"What do you mean?"
Before Henry could answer he disappeared, here we go again.
"James, you have to calm down. He is going to wake up-"
"No Logan, you don't know that! Didn't you say that a lot of people don't wake up from coma! See! YOU! DON'T! KNOW!"
"James, this isn't his fault."
"I know Carlos... I just.. I love him. Its my fault.."
"NO!"
"What?" Henry asked as he came up besides him.
"This isn't James' fault! I'm in a coma!"
"I know." Henry started to walk forward through the people around them. There was snow everywhere and they were in the parking lot of the super market that Kendall worked at.
"Wait! Why didn't you tell me!"
"Because Kendall, you are suppose to figure this out on your own. Now, explain to me why we are here. I don't know where this is."
"We are at the market I used to work at... don't change the subject! I am in a coma! A COMA!"
"Calm down, the sooner we figure this out the sooner you can go back home, if that is what you want."
"What? Of course that is what I want!" Kendall ran forward to stop Henry, "Listen, I don't know why we are here!"
"Maybe you should watch."
Looking up, Kendall saw that he was helping an old lady bring her groceries to her car. Once they were loaded she tried to hand him a tip but he just slid it back into one of her bags. He knew how tight money was, but he couldn't take it when he didn't earn it.
Walking back in side, Henry and Kendall followed.
-KNIGHT! I need you to go out and get all the cart in here! There are some froze to the pave ment again!-
They watched as a younger version of Kendall came out of the store with a pry bar and only a beanie on with no jacket or gloves.
"What were you think Kendall! Its like what? 10 below zero?" Henry said as he smacked Kendall.
"Hey! That was years ago, and it only takes you one time for frost bite to know when you need them!" Watching, they saw that Kendall couldn't get the carts loose and the storm was coming in hard now and by now, Kendall had fallen three times.
"Now, why didn't you go back in?"
"Because... I just never learn to give up, and I needed the money. You know that after my dad died things got tight."
"Yeah, but we offered money and you guys never took it."
"That is because we are not beggars and we fight for the things we need."
After waiting five more minutes Kendall had fallen six times now and it seemed like he was going to stay down. Of course they knew what was going to happen next but Kendall couldn't help but cry a little at this.
James came walking down the street with a jacket in his hands.
-Dude! Why are you out here with no jacket? You should be inside!-
-W-What are you doing here?- Kendall asked as he happily slipped the object on.
-I heard from my dad that you were working today and since I knew the storm was coming in I thought I could come help if you needed it.- The two boys shared a look before they set to work.
"I remember, this was my favorite memory from Minnesota. I mean, James has never spent that much time with me. Away from girls I mean. I just wish that I could have told him earlier about how I felt."
"Kendall, it wouldn't have mattered. You told him and what happens next is your move, always has been."
Looking between himself and James' dad he had to ask the one question that had been on his mind ever since this started.
"Why are you here?"
"Me? Will, I am dead, you know that."
"Yeah, but why not my dad?"
"I don't know, just how things work. But now that you have asked that question, you should know that you control this."
"What? No I don't."
"Yes, you do. First you sent us to the first moment in your life that was good for you. Then to the audition because its something you wish to take back. Now here, what is it that you wanted to see here Kendall?"
"I don't know."
"Of course you do!"
"I DON'T KNOW!... I don't... know." Looking over they saw that James was taking a turn at getting the carts free.
-Kendall, I honestly don't think this is going to work.- Looking up, James saw that Kendall fell to the ground in shock. -Kendall!-
Henry's face turned to recognition.
"You came here to see the time that you needed help, James' help."
"No.. that isn't what happens here."
Looking forward then saw that James had pulled Kendall into a hug.
-Don't you dare leave me here Kendall! I swear, help is on the way, I called an ambulance, okay? Just, stay with me!-
-I am s-s-so cold J-Jamie.-
James pulled his jacket off and wrapped it around the blond boy. His face literally had a tint of blue on it. Raking his fingers through the blonds hair, James started to sing to him.
-It's a four letter word
a place you go to heal your hurt
It's an alter, it's a shelter
One place you're always welcome
a pink flamingo, double wide
One bedroom in a high rise
a mansion on a hill
Where the memories always will
keep you company
whenever you're alone
after all of my running
I'm finally coming-
He was cut off when they heard the ambulance coming down the road.
-Kendall, I promise, I will be there with you the whole way okay?-
-I don't want to b-be a-alone J-Jamie!-
Silently, James pressed a kiss the boy's forehead.
"He never told me about this," Henry said as he places a hand on Kendall's shoulder. "Must of scared you."
"Yeah, it's what made me fall in love with him. When I woke up in that hospital I knew that... he was the only one for me. I guess... I just wanted to make sure that he had a good life. Especially after you passed away because of the drunk driver."
"I need to thank you for that, I saw what James turned into. Not even talking to his mother, you helped him, for that I have to say you are the best thing for James."
"Thanks..."
Finally, looking where the ambulance was suppose to be, Kendall saw another light, but this time it didn't pull him in. Looking to the left he saw Henry and just Henry. The James was gone and so was the other Kendall.
"Is this... is this it?"
"Don't know, is it?"
Laughing, Kendall looked around. "You know, this parking lot has been good to me."
"Yeah, I know that, hey make sure that James knows I am looking down on him and that... I am proud."
"Will do," stepping forward, Kendall gave the man a hug. "Thanks, I don't know what I would have done, but I know what I have to do now.''
"Good, and remember, everything will work out the way you let it."
Nodding, Kendall watched as the man slowly went away. Turning, he started to walk towards the light.
"Dang it, he is flat lining! Get the crash cart in here!"
"Kendall! NO! NO! YOU HAVE TO SAVE HIM!"
"Somebody gets that boy out of here!"
"NO! KENDALL! PLEASE, NOT AGAIN!"
"Charge it, 1 2 3, Clear!"
"Please, you better make this Kendall!" (Logan)
"Nothing, Charge again! 1 2 3, CLEAR!."
"Kenny..."
Kendall stepped into the room to watch as the doctor's charged him with electricity. Really he wanted nother more than to wake up but he wasn't done yet.
"You do know, what you did was the stupidest thing ever."
Turning, Kendall came face to face with his father.
"I know."
"If I was there I would have smacked you."
"I know."
Mr. Knight looked almost like a copy of Kendall, but just older. As he stared at his son he pulled him into a huge hug.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
"You need to know that James is the right person for you. Don't let him go, never. I let your mother go."
"What?"
"I choose the wrong path. Right now, what you are going through, I went through it too, watching how you guys went through it. Heck, I even attended my own funeral. I am so sorry."
"It's not your fault. We have been okay."
"I know you have, just make sure your mother and sister know that I love them."
"I will."
"Good, I have to go, you are running out of time."
As they looked towards the side they saw that they have given up. James was at his side shaking him. Logan and Carlos were just standing to the side as Mama Knight held a crying Katie.
"Okay.." Looking to the side his father was gone. As he turned back towards his family, there was a light. "See you soon."
