I tried to write this down. The words just don't come out. It's hard to say how you feel... ~Music Sounds Better With U (Big Time Rush)
It had been a month since the boys left on tour. Their ex-girlfriends still hung out, almost everyday in fact. Ruby had become accustomed to seeing Camille, Jo and Stephanie sitting at table 19 everyday instead of James. They would come to the restaurant just before Ruby had to get off of work and they would order drinks and wait for her. After that they would usually go to dinner or out to a movie. But, tonight was different. Tonight there was going to be a televised concert from the boys and now all of the girls were sitting in Camille's living room in their pajamas, waiting patiently to see their ex's perform.
"Do you ever think that this might not be healthy for us?" Jo asked, bringing over some popcorn to the girls.
Ruby took a handful and started picking at it. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Well, we talk about the guys everyday, we listen to their music in the car, we own their new CD and now we're watching them on television. Don't you think we should be trying to move on?"
Everyone was silent. No one wanted to admit that they believed that Jo was right. They all wanted to think that when the boys got back that everything would go back to normal and they would all be happy.
Stephanie opened her mouth to answer but quickly pointed at the TV. "They're doing the before concert interview!" she squealed.
Everyone shut up and looked at the screen. The boys were sitting there, smiling happily. Kendall was in a leather jacket, white t-shirt and black straight leg jeans. James was in a dark blue v-neck t-shirt and dark wash jeans. Carlos was in a striped purple shirt and black skinny jeans and logan was in a white t-shirt with a grey vest over it and regular jeans. They all looked so happy and relaxed. It made the girls crazy.
"Hello guys! How are you enjoying Montana?" a young woman, Debbie Francis, asked them.
"Montana is amazing! Fans around every corner and everone is so nice and friendly. It feels like a home away from home," Kendall answered, smiling a smile that killed Jo.
Debbie smiled back. "Well, all you fans out there, we have a surprise for you! Here's the new music video for Big Time Rush's new hit song, Music Sounds Better With U!"
The screen went blank before video started playing. All the girls smiled at the lyrics but Ruby's heart was the first to snap when she saw James and a different girl on the screen. Next was Camille, who let out a little choked sob when she saw Logan singing to a different girl on a couch. Stephanie hid her face in her hands when she saw Carlos get on a scooter with some other girl. The chorus killed each other, watching the guys dance with the other women. Touching and kissing and everything else. It seemed like forever before the video was over and Debbie's face came back.
"Wow! That looked like some real on screen chemistry there," Debbie said.
The boys blushed. "All the girls were great to work with," Carlos said.
"Any on screen romance that came off screen? Logan, you looked pretty cozy with you girl," Debbie teased.
Logan cleared his throat. "We kept everything super professional. We still talk with the girls, especially over twitter but no, there's nothing going on there," he said.
Camille sighed happily at this but then bit her lip. "He never tweets to me on Twitter," she said.
All the girls nodded in agreement. They barely talked on the phone let alone tweeted to each other.
Debbie flipped through her notes. "So, I'm going to ask you guys some questions from the fans before the show starts. You ready?" All the boys nodded. "Ok. So this is the most frequently asked question, so we're going to go down the line. Are you boys single?"
Every single one of them, both the boys and the girls, stiffened. The camera fell on Kendall first and tears burned at Jo's eyes.
"Well, that's a pretty complicated question there, Debbie," he said.
"No it isn't. Do you have a girlfriend?" Debbie asked.
Kendall sighed. "No. We, um, we broke up before the tour."
Jo broke down into sobs, falling so that her head was in Stephanie's lap. Stephanie rubbed her hair softly and ran her other hand up and down her arm.
"James?" Debbie asked.
"My girlfriend and I broke up as well. But..." James was cut off.
"I'm sorry, James. Carlos?" Debbie asked.
Ruby stood up angrily. "But what? You stupid bitch let him finished his Goddamn sentences!" she yelled.
"Whoa, sweetheart. Calm down!" Camille said.
Ruby sat back down, crossing her arms angrily over her chest.
Carlos leaned back in his chair. "I'm single but my heart is taken," he said, smiling.
Stephanie started smiling happily at this. Jo sobbed harder. "Kendall just said we broke up!" she cried.
"And finally, Logan," Debbie said, gesturing for him to speak.
"Um, well. I am technically single. But..." He was cut off as well.
Camille's jaw dropped. "What the fuck?" she screamed at the TV.
"See!" Ruby yelled.
The interview ended and the music video played again, the girls all turning their attention to something else. All at once their phones vibrated. Jo looked at her's first.
Kendall
I tried to write this down. The words just don't come out. It's hard to say how you feel *heart*
Then Ruby.
James
Things get so bad. You've got my back. Make me wanna sing, and girl I'll sing about ya!
Then Camille.
Logan
No sweeter sound than what I've found. No perfect love could be more perfect than us :D
And finally Stephanie.
Carlos
Baby. It feels right. It feels right. Everything's better with you. The music sounds better with you *heart* :)
The girls all smiled and leaned back on the couch, Jo sitting upright again. They watched the concert, only crying a couple of times, but always looking back their phones to make it better.
A/N: Woo, terrible first chapter in my opinion but I hope ya'll like it! :D
