"That's a wrap. Good job, dogs," Gustavo said. He looked at the content faces of the four boys and it was then that he realized how much they had truly changed in the last 5 years. They had accomplished so much: a number one record in not just Kerplankistan but the United states also, Logan learned how to dance, Carlos learned how to sing, James wasn't as annoying anymore although Gustavo had to admit he still reminded him of Matthew Mcconaughey and most surprising of all Kendall actually seemed to want this. Gustavo had to admit he was proud of the boys.
"And the fifth album is officially finished, " Kelly announced. Everyone stared at her with smiles on their faces. The last five years had to have been a dream. Life couldn't possibly be this perfect but it was. There was no way life get any before after all they got to spend their days singing and dance, hot girls were all over them all the time, they lived at the palm woods, they had awesome friends, they were rich and famous but most importantly they were always together. It seemed like at that moment it would never end. They would be big time rush forever. "I really think this your best album yet," Kelly said sincerely.
The all looked her imagining what would happen when their album went triple platinum like they knew it would. It didn't really matter though because anything else they'd get when their album went triple platinum they had already. They were already famous, they had girls, and their future was set, what more could they ask for.
At that moment Griffin walked through the door with his record execs and freight train in hand. They all figured he was there to listen to the new album. They expected him to sit down, change into a warm pair of pants and bump to their new album because he had done that a million times before. So for once they weren't actually scared when Griffin walked through the door although this was one of the few times they should have been.
"Griffin, you're going to love the new album," James said flashing his million dollar smile although it didn't have the same effect it did when sixteen. Instead of being charming it came off more as conceded but that was be expected. James had changed a lot over the last five years. The most obvious of those changes was that he wasn't necessarily so pretty anymore. Of course he was still very good looking but he was more likely to be described as handsome than pretty.
"Yep, this is our best album ever," Carlos exclaimed. He also flashed a big grin. Griffin, Gustavo, kelly and the three band members stared at him. They were realizing that despite how much had changed over the last five years there were some things that always remained the same. Carlos was one of those things. His love for life and his lighthearted immature attitude were a constant in the ever changing lives of the boys who quite frankly were now men. However, none could deny that Carlos had certainly grown up.
"Boys I have news for you," Griffin said in his typical deep-toned voice. Everyone in the room looked at him not knowing what to expect. For all they knew he could be about to give the worst news of their lives or the best. That was what it was like almost every time Griffin spoke. He was an unpredictable man, "Big time Rush is over," he said bluntly and without apology.
"What," the four guys said in unison, their mouths all gapping wide open.
"Yeah, What?" Gustavo repeated, with almost the same amount of emotion.
"The boys just simply are not making a profit. Their way too old for a boy band and we're not meeting our target 6-16 year old demographic," Griffin said.
"With all do respect Griffin, you're wrong," Kendall said angrily and loudly but still somehow politely. He had gotten a lot better at that. Anyway that didn't matter. What mattered now was that the gorgeous green-eyed, blond was not ready to see the end of Big Time Rush and he was going to do everything in his power to prevent Griffin from ending it.
"Yeah, Kendall's right. Our last two albums were big hits. Actually we sold more copies of our fourth album that our first three combined. It went platinum for God Sakes,"
"But you're targeting the 18-24 year demographic. 18-24 year olds don't buys as much BTR merchandise as the 6-16 year old demographic. Quite frankly BTR is making RCMCBT Global Net Sanyoid lose money," Griffin said completely seriously. He didn't want to crush Kendall, Logan, James and Carlos' futures but he had to.
"That's easily fixable," Logan said assuredly although to be honest he was anything but. He didn't know how to save the band but he was determined come up with a plan because he wasn't ready to leave L.A. He didn't want to have to face a future where he wasn't apart of Big Time Rush.
Everyone else in the room including Griffin looked at Logan almost completely positive that the genius of the band would come up with solution. He had to. Their happiness depend on it.
"And how exactly do you plan on fixing this, Logan?" Gustavo ask.
"I don't know."
"Boys, I have some more news for you," Griffin uttered forebodingly.
"Griffin, what other news could you have? You've already crushed the boys dreams enough a lifetime," Kelly said angrily and a little sad.
"Actually this is good news," Griffin's voice cheered up, "I want James to go Solo."
When James heard Griffin say that he didn't even smile despite the fact that it had been his dream forever.
Everyone in the room looked at each not exactly sure how they felt. Were they suppose to be happy? Sad? Nostalgic? Or just content? It didn't matter though because no matter what they felt BTR was definitely over
