My first proper story! Will only be a few chapters as I'm just getting used to it. But I would like to thank everybody and anybody who read, favorite-ed or reviewed my other BTR stories. I will never be able to explain how much it means to me that you liked it or even bothered to read it thank you again.

Okay now, I would like to apologize for my lack of knowledge on the American educational system. It is very different to the one in Australia so I am honestly just going off what I have seen in movies. Anyone who would like to correct me in this story (or any of my others) that is completely fine because I really have no idea what year or school a 13 year old or a 7 year old would be in. The whole pre-K, Middle school and whatever else you people have is very foreign to me. Sorry I am also not a doctor so bare with me.

But I hope you can look past that and enjoy :)

Oh and I do not own anything! Obviously :)

Logan sighed at his three friends as they skated around the frozen pond. The 15 year olds had way too much energy then he would have ever thought possible.

Kendall passed the hockey puck to James who quickly scored and gave Kendall a Hi-5. It was Carlos and Logan verse Kendall and James. So far the score was 3-4, pretty close but Logan was starting to feel weird and didn't know if he was going to be able to continue. He had felt fine this morning, and fine when he was on the ice. But now the cold was really getting to him and he was beginning to get a headache. However the guys were having just way too much fun for him to spoil it, and would feel bad if he let his friends down.

He always felt like he was letting them down in some way. Why were they even friends with him? Carlos, Kendall and James were the popular boys. Every guy wanted to hang out with them and all girls fawned over them. So when he moved schools in the first grade it confused him when these three boys, correction coolest boys in the first grade, had helped him from becoming bully food and befriended him. They still were cool. They would always be cool.

Kendall was the leader. One of the most popular boys in Middle School. He was someone people looked up to. Logan couldn't tell how many times he had helped someone he barely knew. He was constantly encouraging people, and he was the real brains behind every scheme they did. Sure Logan may make them work in the end, but Kendall came up with all the ground work. Not many people could say they were born leaders, Kendall however was born to lead his 3 friends in hockey, hardship, trouble and whatever else came along.

James was the gorgeous one who could have any one melting at his feet. Tall, dark and handsome described James perfectly along with his killer smile and dazzling charms. All the girls worshiped him, he could just smile and they'd turn into a giggling mess. He was also the one who got them out of trouble. He just had to bat his eyelashes and smile and any adult would think his totally innocent. He had confidence that Logan would never be able to describe and sometimes felt himself extremely intimidated whilst in James's presence. Occasionally James came across as obnoxious and self absorbed, however that is the exact opposite of his true personality. Anybody who actually knew him, knew that he was kind and sweet. Looking out for his friends and helping the underdog.

Carlos was the ball of energy that never stopped. Never. He was friendly to everybody and always making jokes. He was the class clown, the class flirt, the class ball of energy that everybody loved. There was nothing Carlos couldn't do. Even despite the fact that he wore his hockey helmet all the time for no good reason he was never picked on for it. Carlos was just too energetic and friendly to everyone to be picked on. He never stood still long enough for someone to make fun of him, and Carlos was always one who could laugh at himself. If he fell down or made a fool of himself, he laughed it off and got back up. People found it difficult to really hurt someone who was always laughing at themselves.

But Logan was different. Logan was the smart one. The nerd, the over analyzer. When he moved to Minnesota nobody talked to him because he was weird. He still found it hard to believe James, Kendall and Carlos now wanted to be his friends. Logan wasn't out going like Carlos, or attractive like James or a born leader like Kendall. He was smart, sure. But he was awkward. He panicked under any kind of pressure and had been known to faint when it became too much. He didn't make new friends well, heck besides James, Kendall and Carlos he didn't talk to other people. He felt uncomfortable in new situations.

Logan wondered almost every single day why these three popular, collected, good looking boys chose to hang out with him.

"LOGAN! Get your head in the game! James and Kendall made a goal!" Carlos yelled and playfully slapped the back of his head.

Logan rolled his eyes, "It was one goal Carlos we can get it back."

James and Kendall were good hockey players, some of the best on the team. But Logan was faster, which usually gave him an advantage. All boys were some of the best on the hockey team. Kendall was a natural leader, James was a natural talent, Carlos feared nothing and Logan was the fastest. They were defiantly one of the most feared hockey team due to these four boys.

"Oh you sound confident Logie," James grinned as he and Kendall skated up to them.

Logan rolled his eyes at the unwanted nickname and skated off. "Are we gonna keep playing some hockey?" Despite his slowly forming headache he wasn't about to back down from the challenge.

"Alright, don't get too ahead of yourself," Kendall laughed and they got back to the game.

It was intense to say the least. Games always were between the boys. They were all born hockey players who liked to win. Best friends or not someone was always going to get crushed on the ice.

30 minutes later the score was back to even 6-6. Even though Logan's headache was slightly throbbing now he was not going to let Carlos down. However he may have underestimated his condition as he went to score, but not being as fast as previously James misjudged Logan's moves and ran straight into him taking both of them down on the ice.

"Oh my god! Logan are you okay? I'm so sorry!" James panicked and was quickly on his feet Carlos and Kendall beside him.

Logan however was in some serious pain and stayed laid out on the ice.

"Logan buddy you okay?" Carlos asked.

"Yep, fine." He replied eyes squeezed tight together trying to ignore the pain in his now throbbing head.

"You don't look alright," Kendal stated concern dripping from his voice.

"Just give me a minute," Logan snapped.

Kendall and James shared a worried look Logan never snapped at anyone. Sure he panicked and over reacted. But he never snapped. The boys knelt by their friends side.

"Logan what's wrong? You're not usually that slow?" Carlos asked.

"Yea, usually you go so fast I have no hope of catching you. I was really surprised when I ran into you." James apologized.

"Nothing." Was all Logan said, unable to come up with anything better. He didn't want his friends worrying about him. If he told them he has been feeling sick they would be really mad that he didn't tell them. He didn't need Kendall to go all 'mother hen' on him like previously. Kendall was a great friend but he had a tendency to be over protective.

When Logan was eight he was sitting with Kendall, James and Carlos eating lunch. The guys wanted to go play ball but Logan had to go find a teacher first to ask her a question. Logan agreed it would be better if they played and he caught up latter which seemed to make sense at the time. However on his way Logan ran into Jack Miller, a 10 year old who hated the four 8 year olds with a passion. Seeing one on their own was an easy target for the bully. After many name calls and arm swings latter Logan managed to get away from the bully but not returning to his friends without a bleeding nose and black eye. Kendall had been livid when he found out who did it (well as livid as an eight year old could be) and went straight up to Jack and kicked him in the leg stating that if he ever touched Logan again he would defiantly kill him. Kendall didn't even care when he got a detention for kicking the boy, he let no one mess with his friends. From then on Kendall insisted that Logan always be accompanied when he went somewhere. Even know, seven years latter someone always offers to go somewhere with him.

"Logan," Kendall said warningly, "We know something's wrong you've been weirdly quiet all day."

"And you haven't been randomly blurting out any useless hockey or whether facts," Carlos said.

"And you've been skating at lot slower than usual today," James added.

"So spill," they said in union.

Logan looked stunned, for three guys he wasn't sure why were his friends they sure were observant of him.

It had become second natural for the three boys to look after the shorter one. Logan was quiet, he wasn't like them sometimes. He was a bit of a nerd, occasionally socially awkward, panicked easily. They loved him for it and would never change him, however they boys had just learnt to look after him over there long years of friendship.

"Whoa you guys need lives." Logan joked trying to lighten the mood, "Do you just watch my every move all the time to see if something's wrong?"

Logan tried to stand up but was pushed down by three pairs of hands and the looks in his friend's eyes told him that yes, they do just watch his every move to make sure his okay.

"Logan," Kendall warned.

Logan sighed in defeat. He was smart, and he knew he should pick his battles. Something told him this one he was not winning.

"Okay fine." Logan said.

"Go on," James said after some silence.

"I haven't been feeling that great today. But its nothing really." He said avoiding eye contact.

"What do you mean by nothing?" Carlos asked.

Logan's nothing was very different compared to what Carlos thought was nothing. Logan having a bad cold but still coming to school because no one was home to look after him was his nothing. The anniversary of his mom's death was something Logan would pass off as nothing. The fact that Logan's dad hasn't been home for more than a week at a time and when he is home barely acknowledges he has a son is Logan's kind of nothing. However to Carlos these are very important things, something that should not be brushed off as nothing. Logan just had a tendency to ignore things, pretend he was okay for the sake of others even if it was eating him up inside. Something that annoyed the three boys to no end.

"Just a cold I think. I've had a headache for most of the game. Slightly dizzy, possible chest pains. I'll be fine though." Logan tried to reassure his friends and himself.

"WHAT!" James shouted! Logan was sick this whole time yet he had kept playing. In the Minnesota snow! Did he want to get hyperthermia?

"Do you want to get hyperthermia!" Kendall shouted reading James's mind.

"No," Logan said quietly.

"Okay, games over I think." Carlos said as they all stood up James pulling Logan up with him.

"But nobody won," Logan said.

All three boys looked at him as if he were crazy. He was sick, but he wanted to keep playing?

"If you were not sick right now, I'll kill you." Kendall stated and grabbed Logan's arm pulling him inside his house.

Logan sighed, he couldn't be sick. He didn't want to be sick. If he was sick then he would have to go home. A home where nobody was there to look after him or even talk to him. Even since his mother had passed away when he was 11 his father had separated himself from his life. His dad always worked over time, usually out of the state. He always left money for Logan when wasn't around to get food and asked Logan the basic questions a father should when he was home. He knew his dad cared, but it wasn't the same as actually having a dad around all the time. When his mom died his dad took it extremely hard and even when home stays in his study majority of the time. Logan had just learnt to live with it and look after himself. But it really occurred to him on days like this that he wished he had an adult to look after him.

The three boys entered the Knight house where Logan was grateful it was extremely warm.

"Mom!" Kendall yelled as soon as they entered.

"What are you doing!" Logan panicked.

"Getting my mom." Kendall said obviously.

"No, its fine. I don't want to bother her, it's not that bad. I can go home…" Logan said quietly.

"What's wrong Kendall?" Mama Knight asked but then examined the boy's eyes falling straight on Logan. Call it mothers intuition or that Logan just looked a lot worse then he thought but she knew straight away he wasn't well. She quickly walked up to him and put her hand on his forehead, "What's wrong with Logan?"

Kendall smiled at his mom, she truly was the best. He didn't even have to tell her something was wrong and she knew. Logan spent a lot of time at each of the boy's house after his mom passed. He had basically become a second son to all the mothers. Kelly Knight defiantly felt sympathetic for the boy, as his father was never around and she always offered him a place to stay when he was home alone. Logan just didn't realize how much she cared for him. I don't think any of the boys knew the extent she would go for each of them. Carlos, Logan or James, she would easily take in without hesitation.

"His been feeling sick, headache, dizzy, chest pains apparently. James also knocked him to the ice. But it was an accident," Kendall added when she gave him a weird look.

"Hmmm, you're defiantly warm, which is not normal," Mama Knight stated concerned while Logan squirmed uncomfortably under her touch. He honestly wasn't used to the close contact from adults.

James and Carlos who had now moved to the living room coach couldn't help but smirk at Logan as he looked very uncomfortable under Kendall's mother's gentle hand. It made them angry to think his dad could neglect him like that.

"Chest pains and dizziness doesn't sound too good, maybe we should go to the hospital," Kelly contemplated.

"No!" Logan shouted.

Everyone was startled but his sudden outburst.

"Sorry, but please. No hospitals. It's probably just a cold. I haven't been sick for ages I'm due for it. I'll just go home and sleep it off," He said embarrassed.

"What! No!" Kendall, James and Carlos shouted.

"Boys calm down," Kelly said calmly as she put her hands up signaling them to be quiet.

"Of course Logan isn't going to go home in his condition," She said and the three boys sighed in relief while Logan just looked uncomfortable. "But I think it would be best if Carlos and James go home so they don't get sick."

James and Carlos quickly stood up and along with Kendall started too argued with Mrs. Knight.

"But we can't leave Logan when his sick."

"Yea, you know how he is."

"You'll need us to control him."

"His pretty stubborn when he wants to be."

"We'll hold him down and make sure he does what you ask."

"Hey you make me seem like I'm some stubborn, disobedient, lunatic!"

"Welll…"

"We're just saying…"

"Nothing against you man…"

"You may be really smart but sometimes you can be really stupid"

"Besides your only really contagious when you first get sick."

"So we will be fine."

"Come on Mama Knight were his best friends, we can't leave him now!"

"Okay stop!" Mrs. Knight said a little over whelmed. She looked from the three pleading boys to the embarrassed looking sick one.

She sighed, "Okay Carlos and James can stay. I don't know why I even bother."

Carlos and James hi-5 each other, "But I want you three to be able to control yourself. And I know this will be hard for you but you must be quiet and let Logan get some rest he is sick." Mrs. Knight set the ground rules.

"Of course!" James said.

"No other way ma'ma!" Carlos saluted.

Kelly rolled her eyes, this defiantly would be interesting.

"Okay, if James and Carlos are going to stay I want you two to go to Logan's house and get a few things. You know clothes, toothbrush, essentials he may need? And then you can go get whatever you need for yourself, but knowing you guys it probably around the house anyway." She said.

"Yea… most of my stuff is here…" James said looking around the house to see his skateboard in the corner, his backpack in the living room and jacket lying on the coach. They did basically live with each other.

"Yes," Kelly laughed, "Okay go, I want you both back in an hour or I'll send a search party."

James and Carlos nodded and quickly exited the house.

"Was that really a good idea sending those two on such an important task like that?" Katie asked who had entered the room a bit before.

"Possibly not," Kelly cringed. "Anyway Kendall I need you to go get blankets, towels, a bucket, pillows all in the laundry bring it out into the living room."

"Alright captain," Kendall saluted and went up stairs. He gave Logan a thumbs up gesture to help calm him as Logan looked a little scared at the moment.

"And Logan your coming with me," Mama Knight said grabbing Logan's arm and sitting him at the dining table Katie following in tow.

This really was going to be an interesting couple of days Logan thought.
