Welcome to the new chapter of Only The Young everyone! Hope everyone enjoyed the last chapter and the surprise there (hence the chapter name "surprises, surprises everywhere")

To be honest with you guys I have no clue whatsoever when I'll end this story so, enjoy it, while it lasts.

Also thank you for the reviews and please review on this chapter and ENJOY!

one more note before I start this chapter, this chapter will be set 3 weeks after James awoke.

(3 weeks later)

A couple days past when James was finally out of the hospital. Not much has changed, though. Their father was still abusive but not as violent since he didn't want his kids to die. But sometimes the beating did get out of hand. James also came back to school. Every time he walked past someone, they would give him a look. However James didn't care. He didn't care what people thought of him after he got practically "killed" by his own father.

James became more and more closed off to himself after he got out of the hospital. He didn't talk much, nor did he socialise much. He always sat at the very back of the classroom so no one could see him from behind. He did sometimes talk to Kendall though, and when he did, Kendall wouldn't speak a word about his cutting incident. He didn't want James to worry about him. Kendall did stop cutting for good and he promised himself he would never pick up a razor or anything sharp that could trigger him. There were some visible scars but Kendall hid them by wearing long sleeved shirts or Jumpers.

Logan and Carlos were ecstatic about their older brother finally being able to be with them. Even though they didn't see him in school, they still were more than happy to see him in their house every night.

Kevin didn't really care about that, he was "happy" that his son was alive, but he did abuse them like crazy. He also threatened them that if they tell the police, they would get double the abuse they already get.

The 2 oldest boys started planning out their escape. They got a few places they could go to, like New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles. They also were thinking about how they would get there. Kendall said that his boss was selling a Van which could help them escape, big time.

Kendall and James were sitting in their room shared with their younger boys sitting on Kendall's bed having a discussion of whether they should go to the east coast or the west coast.

"I feel like we should head to the west coast. That way we would be the furthest away from here." Said James.

"True. But then again, if we do move there, it will take us at least longer than a day to get there. I was thinking of Philadelphia since it's not too far but also not too close. And we would live close to Aunt Rosalie so she could take care of us until we turned 18." Said Kendall.

"That's a good idea. And when we are finally old enough, we can move out to our own house somewhere else." Exclaimed James.

"So I guess we're sorted then! Now I just need to actually get the van and then we're practically done." Said Kendall.

"Yeah. When do you think you'll get the van?" Asked James.

"I don't know. I'm not going to work tomorrow or the day after so maybe either those days while you're home to take care of Carlos and Logan."

"Yeah and if it needs any work on it I can help you so we'll get it done even quicker."

"Yeah, and then we'll just pack and head off to Philadelphia!" Exclaimed Kendall.

"We'll also need to tell Carlos and Logan about what's happening." Reminded James.

"Yeah. We'll go tell them when we get the van." Said Kenall. James nodded as a reply. The two oldest boys then headed downstairs to prep ear dinner.

So this was chapter 8 everybody! Hope everyone enjoyed it and please review!

And sorry it was pretty short, I didn't have many ideas of how to structure it and what to add to it to make it interesting as f.

Also I thought of an idea for a fanfic called 'The Supernatural Troupe' where 2 of the guys are werewolves and the other 2 are vampires and they are obviously best friends and they have to keep it as a secret from everyone. And I will put similar creatures in there from Teen Wolf (e.g The Nogitsune, the Kanima, the Doctor (as seen in the season 5 trailer (spoiler if you haven't seen it yet! Sorry!)) and many more) and they have to fight them and kill them to keep everyone safe. What do you guys think? Should I write it?

Anyway enough of the blabbing on, I'll see you all in either the next chapter or 'The Supernatural Troupe'!

BYEEEEE!
