Prologue
"Hey Katie, wake up, it's time to go."
Katie Knight groaned as she pulled her blankets over her head, snuggling deeper into her covers. She sighed and smiled serenely as she started to drift off again. But that moment was ruined when her covers were completely thrown off of her. She shivered and blindly reached for them and finally opened her eyes when she didn't feel her blankets on her bed.
"Sarah!" she shouted at her roommate, who was standing at the foot of her bed, smirking at her and holding onto her blankets. "Give me back my sheets, I'm cold!"
"We're going to be late for work," Sarah replied with a bemused smile. "And you know that you'll get fired if you're late again."
"You know that whenever Kendall calls I can't miss it." Katie replied as she slid out of her bed and went over to her closet to get some clothes. "I haven't seen him in a while because he's so busy with his hockey career."
"He's been so successful," Sarah commented as she sat down on her bed to wait for her roommate. "I mean, starting out with the famous boy band Big Time Rush, and then going on to live his dream as a Hockey Star? He's totally living the dream."
"I know," Katie smiled with pride, but it didn't last long. "Unfortunately that means that he's always conditioning and playing games and stuff, so I don't get to see him as much as I used to." She looked at her calendar. "But he should be back in LA this weekend." She quickly pulled on her clothes and grabbed her purse. "Let's go."
Things had changed ever since Big Time Rush had gotten big when Katie's brother was sixteen and she was thirteen. Six years had gone by and as usual, the boy band craze had died down. With that, was the end of Big Time Rush. Kendall and Carlos moved on to play for the Minnesota Wild, Logan is studying to become a doctor, and James is a famous actor being in many films. Even though their band was split up, their friendship had gotten even stronger as they had constantly called each other and met up to talk about how they're doing and to just hang out.
When the band broke up, Katie and Mrs. Knight moved from the Palm Woods to a house that Kendall bought for them with the money from Big Time Rush. Then Katie kept up with her studies to go off to college. Now she goes to UCLA and is studying to become a lawyer, something that Kendall always said that she should do because she was good at making people feel guilty and intimidation.
She and Sarah work at the Silver Spring restaurant in central Los Angeles. It specializes in Italian food, but you can usually find people getting American and Mexican food as well there. Katie didn't really like the idea of working as a waitress, but she refused to live off of Kendall's money for the rest of her life, and she was still getting some acting jobs, so she was making some money for herself.
If she knew what going to work that day would bring, she might have thought twice about going.
A/N: Just so the age gap wouldn't be so big, I made it that Katie is only three years younger than the guys. I haven't written a story like this before but I hope you guys like it. This is a request for Mudmaster24.
