Big Time Stalker

Part 8

Logan took my hand, "I will be right here. Nobody is going to get either one of you." He made me lay back down in the bed before I fell, and I was out before I could say or do anything else.

I groggily woke up and felt a hand in mine. I looked to see Logan with his head on the bed next to me and his fingers entangled with mine. I looked at Kendall and he looked about the same. I looked around and James was wide awake on the couch, but Sammy and Carlos were cuddled up in the other bed, sleeping.

I tried to sit up slightly, and James rushed over, "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" He asked.

Logan heard us talking and woke up as I said, "I'm starving. I would kill for some pancakes." I smiled slightly.

James looked at Logan and Logan immediately jumped up, "I will see what I can do." and rushed out of the room. James came over and took the seat Logan was just in and we started to talk.

James hung his head slightly, "There is no sense in being upset with him. He would do it all over again for you. He is completely devoted to you now."

I looked over at Kendall and gently stroked his face, "But he didn't have to. I would never want him to give his life for mine."

Kendall started to speak, his voice still raspy, "I would do it all over again and there is no way you could stop me."

I was so overjoyed that he was awake my first thought was to pounce on him, but I had to control myself. He was still hurt. I leaned down and kissed him gently on the lips, "I wouldn't let you. I will NEVER let you get hurt because of me again. I swear it."

He cracked a small smile, and his eyes started to open slightly, and he said, "Don't argue with a dying man."

James got up to go get the doctor and I told Kendall, quite plainly, "You are not now, nor will you ever die because of me. You are going to get better because if you don't then I will have to die so that we can be together like you promised."

The smile disappeared from his face, "I promise you, love, nothing or nobody will come between us. It's just you and me now. We are unstoppable."

The doctor came in, "Well Mr. Schmidt, how are we feeling?"

Kendall tried to sit up, but the pain stopped him. The doctor put his hand on Kendall's shoulder, "Woah there. You need some rest. That was some pretty bad trauma you suffered. You died there for a minute."

Kendall looked around at everybody, who is now at his bed side. They all looked at me and I started to cry, "Kendall when they brought you in you weren't breathing and your heart had stopped. I can't believe I almost lost you." and I laid on top of him putting my arms around him, not wanting to let go.

He quietly said, "Can everyone give us a minute?"

Everybody left and he and I were there alone. He pulled me up to look into my eyes, "I saw it all."

I looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean?"

He looked puzzled, "I don't know how, but I saw everything. Including Sally."

I almost panicked, "Where did you see Sally?" I could see him thinking and I said more sternly than I meant to, "Where Kendall? Where was she?" I asked again.

He looked at me like I was crazy, "What do you mean where was she? She was right here. You were here to. Didn't you see her?"

I started to shake my head, "But Kendall that never happened. That was just a nightmare."

We sat in silence for a minute, and I said, "From the beginning tell me what happened."

He thought for a second and started to tell me about what happened on the roof, "And when I got close enough to grab the gun I heard the shot. I felt pain and then I couldn't breathe for a minute. I remember falling to the ground on top of you and knowing that you were safe. I looked back up in time to see Joe being shot and falling over the side of the building." He paused. He looked into my eyes and his eyes started to pool with tears, "You freaked out because you said I wasn't breathing. I was though. I was laying right there just like I'm laying right here with you now. The doctors came rushing over." He repeated everything that had happened all the way up until the surgery, including everything I had said to him, word for word before the surgery. It was all very weird to hear him repeating words I said to him when the doctors thought he was dead. He then started to tell me about the nightmare where Sally killed him and in very vivid detail.
