(A/N): SO, my wisdom teeth removal actually didn't take that long. My mouth still hurts and I'm going to have nightmares about that needle, but it's over! Since my dentist told me to relax all day, I decided to finish this chapter! It also means that I might work on another chapter to be posted later! If I feel up to it. If not, then there might be two tomorrow because I have to relax tomorrow too. Anyways, thank you to Kayla, Jazzygrl, oOo KitKat oOo and Milkamoo97 for your reviews! As always, I still don't own Big Time Rush. I also don't own the movies The Ring, Pet Sematary (yes, that's how it's spelled), Harry Potter, Mean Girls or Pirates of the Caribbean. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 27: Scarier Than Surgery

"Yep, it's broken," Dr. Hollywood put the x-ray photo of Katrina's arm on the x-ray viewer. He turned to look at the five teenagers in the room, Katrina sitting on the doctor's exam table.

"So, now she gets a cast, right?" Logan asked.

"Nope," Dr. Hollywood told him. "She has to go through surgery." Katrina screamed and grabbed Kendall, who was closest, pulling him in front of her to shield her from the doctor.

"Why does she have to go through surgery?" Kendall asked, "I mean, she just has a broken bone."

"She doesn't have to go through surgery!" Dr. Hollywood assured them. "I was just messing with her!" Katrina sighed and let go of Kendall. "But, I've noticed that you've broken this bone before. Did the cast work last time?"

"Yes, it did," Katrina answered. "And it will take around six weeks to heal, right?"

Dr. Hollywood paused, but then replied, "Yes, but how would you know that?"

Katrina hesitated before she responded, "Cause I've had this bone broken before."

"Ah, of course," Dr. Hollywood continued. "Now, I'll just need you to call your parents in since you're a minor so they can sign you out after we put the cast on." He began writing stuff down on a clipboard.

"Um, I can't," Katrina told him.

"And why not?" Dr. Hollywood asked her.

"Because I'm an emancipated minor," Katrina answered.

Carlos, James, Kendall and Dr. Hollywood stood in front of her, heads tilted to the side, "You're a WHAT?"

Katrina rolled her eyes and looked at Logan as he explained, "An emancipated minor is a person under the age of eighteen who, under the law, is considered an adult. She is completely independent from her parents. She can work, pay taxes, vote, get married and basically anything that an adult can do, without a parent's approval. This includes paying and signing medical statements."

"Ah, well then," Dr. Hollywood pulled a sheet of paper off of his clipboard, "Here's your bill." He handed her the paper and Katrina's eyes went wide. The boys leaned in to look and winced.

"That's a lot of zeros," James commented.

Katrina sighed and then reached into her pocket. She pulled out a credit card that wasn't the one Griffin had given her, "Here. Charge it to this." Dr. Hollywood took it and walked off. The boys stared at her. "What?"

"Where did you get that credit card?" Carlos asked, "That's not the one with the kittens."

"No," Katrina looked like she was tired of answering questions, "That was my emergency card. It's connected to my bank account. I use it to pay for school too."

Kendall opened his mouth to say something, but Logan stopped him, "Okay. You don't need to answer any more questions. We don't want to STRESS you out." The boys looked at Logan confused, but then got a look of realization before they smiled at Katrina. She raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Before she could say anything, Dr. Hollywood came back and gave her the card and a sheet of paper, "Just sign this and you'll be all done!"

Katrina glanced at the sheet and then looked at the doctor, "What about the cast?"

Dr. Hollywood stayed still for a second, but then spoke, "Oh. Right. Hang on and let me find the supplies. You can sign while you're waiting." He ran off again. Katrina sighed and signed the paper.

"I should probably call my mom for a ride," Kendall noted and left the room.

Carlos teetered back and forth on his feet before running after Kendall, shouting, "I GOTTA PEE!"

Katrina looked over at James, "You should probably call Katie and tell her that we won't be able to model today."

"We can tell her later," James dismissed it.

"No, I think you should do it now," Katrina told him. James looked disappointed, but left the room.

Katrina looked over at Logan and they stared at each other for a second.

Suddenly, they both started talking at once, neither of them understanding what the other was saying. Then, they both stopped and started laughing.

"Okay, you go first," Logan told her.

"No, you," Katrina insisted.

"Ladies go first," Logan reminded her.

"Well, at one point, we would both be in that category."

"Not funny."

"Sorry."

"Seriously, you go first."

"Fine," Katrina caved, "I've been wondering. What were you trying to tell me after you saved my life?"

"Wow, that's what I was going to tell you," Logan mentioned.

"So, tell me."

"Right, um, well, you see, we've known each other for a while now and, well, I was wondering, would you-"

"HEY!" James walked into the room, interrupting Logan, "What'd I miss?" Both Logan and Katrina glared at him.

Neither of them got a chance to speak though because Dr. Hollywood came back with a plastic box of supplies and set it on a counter. It wasn't long before Kendall and Carlos walked in too.

"My mom's on her way," Kendall told them. "She's mad."

"At me?" Katrina looked shocked.

"No," Kendall answered, "At us because we forced you to slide down the air duct."

"Air duct sliding," Dr. Hollywood commented, "Nice." He reached into the box and pulled out a big shot. Katrina stared at it with wide-eyes. "First thing to do is numb the pain." Katrina shrieked and grabbed the closest person to her, which happened to be James.

James, however, was of no help because when he saw the needle, he screamed, broke away from Katrina and ran out of the room. The others stared at the door for a second before going back to the shot.

"Here," Logan held out his hand, "You can hold my hand for comfort." Katrina smiled and took it with her right hand, the one that wasn't attached to the broken bone.

"Right, this won't sting a little," Dr. Hollywood told her, "It'll sting a lot!" Katrina squeaked, closing her eyes as the needle got closer.

"I still don't get why you forced her to slide down with you!" Mrs. Knight was driving the rental van with the guys and Katie in the backseats. Katrina got the privilege of being in the passenger seat because she was injured. She had decided on a pink color to her cast.

"We were doing something spontaneous?" Kendall tried.

"Does 'something spontaneous' mean putting my client on hold for SIX WEEKS?" Katie was pissed at all of them, but mostly the boys for causing it.

"I'm really sorry Katie," Katrina told her, but while she was facing front, she didn't look sorry.

"It's not your fault," Mrs. Knight smiled at the teen girl before focusing back on the road. "But I would like you to stay with us until you get your cast off."

"WHAT?" Katrina shouted.

"YES!" the guys cheered.

"I have to keep sharing my room?" Katie looked upset.

"No, I can take care of myself," Katrina insisted. "As soon as I finish Penny's Pet Care, I'm moving in there. I designed it with a bedroom for that reason! Somebody needs to be there for the boarded animals!"

"Katrina, you can't take care of yourself while in that cast," Mrs. Knight defended her statement, "Which would make it even harder to take care of animals by yourself when you can't use one of your arms."

"But I am legally an adult," Katrina insisted, "I'll be fine!"

"If you don't stay with us, then I'll go to the court system and get them to make you a minor again so that you'll have to go back to your parents so that someone will take care of you. This can't be healthy for someone your age to take care of yourself like this," Mrs. Knight threatened. She parked the car in the Palm Woods parking lot.

"You can't do that," Katrina seemed confident in that, "I can't go back to my parents."

"Because they're abusive?" Logan assumed.

"They moved to another country?" James suggested.

"They're some type of addict?" Kendall added.

"They went on an adventure in the rainforest and then were lost once they took a boat and went out to sea!" Carlos stated like it was a fact. Everyone turned to look at him, confusion etched on their faces.

"None of those," Katrina sighed and everyone looked at her. "I really didn't want to tell you this now, but-"

"Then you don't have to tell us," Logan interrupted her. "We understand."

"No, you see-" Katrina began.

"Katrina," Kendall stopped her, "We don't need to know. Tell us when you're ready."

"But-"

"We're not going to ask you about your past anymore," Carlos added. "So, you can relax." Katrina looked confused, stunned, shocked and upset all at once.

"We want you to feel comfortable around us," James went on, "We'll be here for you."

"Ugh," Katie looked disgusted, "I'm getting out of this mushiness." That said, she climbed out of the van and headed to the Palm Woods. Mrs. Knight, though, smiled at the boys, the previous act of accidently breaking Katrina's arm completely forgotten.

"We care about you Katrina," Mrs. Knight told the teen girl, "We just want you to not be as stressed out, just taking care of yourself. The boys, to make up for breaking your arm, will do whatever you say."

"HUH?" the boys looked confused.

"Whatever I say?" Katrina smirked at them.

"You know what?" James started, "Why doesn't she just go live in Penny's Pet Care? I'm sure she'll be comfortable there."

"And we'll visit her often to make sure that she's okay!" Kendall added.

Mrs. Knight crossed her arms and glared at the boys.

"We'll be happy to do whatever Katrina says!" Logan caved first.

"We owe her!" Carlos went on. James and Kendall nodded their heads vigorously.

"Are you sure, Mrs. Knight?" Katrina turned to the woman. "I don't want to be a burden."

"It's no trouble," She smiled, "You've been a lot of help these past few days and you're a very quiet houseguest. Come on in, we'll get you a cot from the building." She and Katrina left the van and headed for the building.

The boys looked at each other.

"Do you think she wanted to tell us?" James asked the others.

They thought about it before shaking their heads, "Nah." They got out of the van to run and join the other two, making sure that the van locked before they did.

"Where do you think Logan went?"James asked Kendall and Carlos. Once they had gotten back to the apartment, Katrina had collapsed onto the couch, crying about being a burden, useless and vulnerable. The boys had stared at her as Mrs. Knight and Katie made excuses to leave. Then, Logan had snapped his fingers like he got an idea and ran out of the apartment.

It had been a while since then and the boys were watching a cried out Katrina lay on the couch, defeated. None of them wanted to say the wrong thing and upset her even more. Carlos and Kendall shrugged in response to James's question.

"Well then," James pulled out his lucky comb and fixed his hair, "I'll just go comfort her." Kendall and Carlos raised their eyebrows at this, but didn't do anything as James put his comb away and started walking towards her.

Suddenly, the door opened and Logan came walking in, a cat in his arms. The other three boys looked at him in confusion, but Katrina didn't move.

"What the heck, Logan?" Kendall was staring at the cat in Logan's arms.

"I thought that Katrina could use some cheering up," Logan explained, "So, I went to the animal shelter that Katrina volunteers at, told them the situation and they gave me Noodles."

"You're holding a cat," Carlos observed, "Not noodles."

"The cat's name is Noodles."

"Oh."

Logan walked over to Katrina and got her attention. She gave Logan and Noodles the biggest smile that the guys have ever seen her give. Logan sat beside her and the two started whispering.

James, Kendall and Carlos watched them suspiciously. They crept over into the kitchen and dropped down to hide behind the counters.

"Why would she pick him over me?" James asked the others.

"Camille's going to kill her," Carlos told them.

"Do you think that she told Logan anything?" Kendall still seemed to be concentrating on finding out about Katrina's past.

"Considering how close they are now," James was peeking at the couple over the counter, "I'd say most likely." Carlos and Kendall scrambled to look over the counter too. They saw Katrina had her head on Logan's shoulder, his arm was around her waist, her legs were lying over his lap and his head was placed on her head. The cat was sitting on Katrina's lap as they stroked the cat together. The three boys stared with wide eyes.

"Why do I have a feeling that this isn't going to end well?" Kendall asked rhetorically.

Just after he finished, Logan and Katrina looked each other in the eyes. They hesitated for a second, but then began to lean into each other, eyes fluttering closed.

James had seen enough. He jumped up and yelled out, "HEY!" Logan and Katrina jumped and she fell out of his lap. Luckily, she held onto Noodles so that he didn't go flying. Once James had gotten everyone's attention, he went on, "Who thinks we should watch a movie, huh? I think it'll be a great idea!" James walked over and sat in between Logan and Katrina who both turned and glared at him. Carlos and Kendall looked at each other, frightened about what Katrina and Logan would do to James. They decided to sit nearby in case either of the two mad teens attacked James.

"What movie did you want to watch?" James turned to Katrina.

"Pet Sematary," Katrina suggested, her eyes never leaving James's. There was no emotion on her face and after a while James realized that she was completely serious.

"Isn't that like a horror movie?" James ran over to a stack of movies as the other guys turned to look at Katrina in confusion. "Wouldn't you want to watch something, I don't know, NOT SCARY?"

"What are you doing?" Logan mouthed to Katrina.

She smirked before mouthing back, "Trust me." Kendall and Carlos raised their eyebrows at this exchange, but said nothing.

"We can watch Harry Potter or Mean Girls," Everyone stared at James in shock at the last suggestion. "What? It's full of hot girls! There are others like, Pirates of the Caribbean…" He began listing a bunch of different movies that were not at all scary. Katrina pulled out her phone and sent a text. A few seconds later, Logan's phone buzzed and he looked at it. He then glanced at Katrina, both of them smirking.

Carlos leaned in to whisper to Kendall, "Logan and Katrina are texting."

"They're planning something," Kendall whispered back. "And I want to be nowhere near them when they do this."

"You know what," Logan spoke up, getting everyone's attention. "I'm not in the mood for Pet Sematary."

"YES!" James cheered. "Listen to the smart one!"

"I'd rather watch The Ring," Logan went on, an innocent smile on his face.

"Ooh, I love that movie!" Katrina mentioned. "Yeah, let's watch that."

"I'm just going to go take Noodles back to the animal shelter," Kendall told them, picking Noodles up off of Katrina's lap and dashing for the door.

"I'll help him," Carlos announced, following Kendall out the door. Katrina and Logan smirked at James.

"So, are you going to watch with us?" Logan asked.

"Or are you going to leave me and Logan to watch a scary movie together? You know, just the two of us," Katrina went on.

"Alone," both Logan and Katrina finished.

James looked up at the ceiling, the daydream look on his face.

Logan and Katrina were cuddling up to each other on the couch. The only light in the entire room came from the TV and there was no one else in sight. There was screaming heard from the TV and Katrina dug her face into Logan's chest.

"Oh, Logan!" Katrina spoke in a pretend damsel-in-distress tone of voice, "Why did we choose to watch a horror movie? It's so… horrific!" She sighed dramatically.

"Don't worry, baby," Logan began with a sultry voice. He placed his hand under Katrina's chin and used it to push her head up to look him in the eyes. "I'm right here and I always will be." He pulled her closer and their lips crashed together. They got really into it as both of them put their arms around each other, Katrina's arm somehow back to normal. Lying down on the couch, Katrina was on top of Logan as some tongue flashed between their mouths.

James was standing in between the couch and the TV. His face looked like he had already seen the horror movie. Logan and Katrina were watching him with curiosity.

"Are you okay?" Katrina asked him. It snapped James out of his daze.

"Are you two sure you want to watch a horror movie?" James looked scared. When they nodded their heads, he sighed and sat between them. "Go put the movie in."

Halfway through The Ring, James was engrossed in it. His eyes wouldn't leave the screen, but his hand kept moving popcorn from the bowl in his lap to his mouth. Kendall and Carlos hadn't come back yet and Katrina and Logan were assuming that they decided to skip it.

Katrina and Logan were barely watching the movie, too busy texting each other the details of their plan. Since James was leaning forward, Logan and Katrina would exchange smirks throughout the movie behind James's back.

Right when the credits were rolling in, the phone rang. James's head turned to stare at it. Katrina and Logan pretended not to notice.

"Aren't you going to answer it?" Katrina asked James. He nodded and slowly got up, walking over to the phone.

James pressed the button to answer it and brought it up to his ear, "Hello?"

"Seven days," a voice hissed on the other end. James screamed, dropped the phone and ran out of the room.

Suddenly, Logan and Katrina burst into laughter.

"I can't believe that worked!" Katrina told Logan.

"We should probably tell Camille thanks for helping with this," Logan replied, still laughing as he pulled out his phone to text Camille.

"Did you see his face?" Katrina was lying down on the couch now, laughing so hard that her sides hurt.

"He probably peed his pants!" Logan added, sending the text before he too collapsed to his side on the couch.

That moment was when Kendall and Carlos came back into the apartment.

"Hey guys, we're back!" Carlos called out.

"Did we miss the movie?" Kendall noted, faking disappointment, "That's too bad!"

Katrina and Logan stopped their laughing for a second to look at Carlos and Kendall. Then, the two on the couch burst into laughter again. The two boys by the front door just stared at the laughing teens, deciding that they were crazy.

(A/N): Logan and Katrina got back at James for interrupting them! Hehe. Tomorrow is the Wolff Family Tragedy! Is Katrina going to tell them? Did she change her mind? Or will the boys keep on insisting that she shouldn't tell them? And what type of complications will Katrina have with a broken arm? Find out next time!

For those of you who don't know about the movie, The Ring, I'm going to give a short plotline of it to understand the joke. You watch a certain video, then you get a phone call saying, "Seven days." If you don't solve a specific mystery in seven days, then you die. That's why James got freaked out. Now, I've got a true story for all of you. My friend was a horror movie addict as a kid and so, one time, she made me watch both The Ring and Pet Semetary all in one night… I had nightmares for weeks! Anyways, hope you liked the chapter, please review and happy reading!
