Hey everyone I told you I'm back! I know you've been waiting so here you go!
Chapter Six
Carlos's P.O.V
Carlos calmed down and wiped his eyes. "Are you ok Letos?" Just as he started to speak they heard footsteps and James and Kendall came into the room. Carlos noticed that Kendall wasn't looking at any of them and that his eyes never left the floor.
"Kendall are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah." Kendall muttered.
"Kendall I'm sorry." Logan said getting up and hugging the blonde. "It's just that I acted badly to that." The blonde's eyes slowly looked up into Logan's. Then he looked over at Carlos.
"Are you ok?" he asked. Carlos shook his head.
"Why don't you sit down." When they did (Carlos sitting in Logan's lap) he finally said. "Ten years ago when I was six it used to be me, my mom, and my older sister." Carlos's voice was cracking, but he gritted his teeth and continued. "See my sister was fifteen at the time and she was dating this boy who liked to bully me. When I tried to tell my mom and sister they would laugh believing that I was making it up because I was young." Carlos saw Logan's glare at the ceiling and James was clenching his fists. They both had heard some of this story. Kendall looked shocked and angry.
"Keep going." Logan said through gritted teeth.
"Anyway this went on for a while. He would call me weak and a coward! Then two years later something happened."
"What did they break up?" Kendall asked.
"Sadly no. No see mom had left for work and they were supposed to be baby sitting me, but they had decided to go on a date and he screamed at me to go to bed. I did go upstairs, but when they left I came back down. They had left and when mom came home she was crying. She told me to get ready because we were going somewhere. I did and we went to a car crash! I saw the car was in flames and my mom jumped out and ran over to try to help! I kind of followed her and I saw in the flames were my sister and her boyfriend. I learned later that they had gotten into a fight and crashed flipping over the guard rail and slammed into the underpass. Apparently something had happened to the car and it caught fire! My sister was still alive and I saw her screaming! I—" Tears flowed down his cheeks and Logan held him closer. "I decided I was going to help so I tried to get her out of the car and" He pulled up his slieve.
There were scars there up and down and all three cringed. "My skin got burned away and still I tried to help. My sister whispered not to worry about her and go to the paramedics before I died too. Unfortunately I didn't really listen and well someone dragged me away because the flames were killing my whole arm." Carlos fell silent his hands wrapped around his face. Logan stroked him comfortingly until he straightened back up. "She—she should have known not to go out! She died in that stupid car! After that I just well" He trailed off pulling his shirt off and revealing bruises. "I just started cutting! I felt like it's my fault she's dead! I still do!"
Kendall's P.O.V
Kendall stared as Carlos's story ended. He felt like crying with him. He couldn't imagine Katie dying or any part of his family. He wrapped an arm around Carlos. "It's not your fault Carlos. What could you have done? They would have left even if you tried to stop them." Beside him James nodded.
"I-I just feel like there was something I could have done!"
"Like what?" Kendall asked. "You were eight what could you have done?" Then Carlos finally broke down.
For a while they just comforted Carlos. Finally James asked. "Want some corn dogs Letos?" The latino nodded. "Ok come on Kendall help me." They both left and went to the kitchen. James seemed to hold his composure all the way until they reached the kitchen. Then he just broke.
"Dammit! I wish I had known I would have done something to help!" Kendall wrapped an arm around him. "All he told us was that something had happened to his sister and he didn't want to talk about it! We didn't until now! He told me that he had surpressed these memories! Was the happiness fake?" He asked looking up at the ceiling.
"Maybe not all of it." Kendall said going to the freezer and pulling out the corn dogs. James nodded and went to help him, but he would just stand there so Kendall found a way to work around him.
"Jamie well James look at me." The boy raised his eyes as Kendall stepped forward. "I-I well people don't like talking about it so they repress it. I tried to repress my touretts."
"What? How could you have done that?"
"When I needed to do my tics I made sure no one was looking, but later everyone found out and they laughed at me because of what I couldn't hold back. I tried to be normal, but I had to accept that I couldn't be. That's why when I turned eighteen I moved alone to here." James wrapped his arms around Kendall and held him close.
"Oh my god." He whispered. "I would never laugh at you. Ever." He brought Kendall's face up to stare into his eyes. "And I won't let anyone else hurt you either. Promise."
Well poor Carlos! And Kendall too. I know it's been a while since I updated this story, but I have ideas about this story and I can't wait to write them down. Until then give me a review please.
