Hi guys! I know I haven't been active in a while but I had a really good idea, which is this story. Now, I know this isn't Austin & Ally. I've just been on this major Big Time Rush kick lately. Mostly their music. Speaking of music, have you heard R5's new song, Pass Me By? It's awesome! Anyway, here's the story an I hope you like it. :)

I do not own anything Big Time Rush... but I can always dream, right?


Chapter 1

I'm standing at the door of a mansion in Minnesota, waiting for someone to answer.

You see, my boyfriend wanted me to come meet his mother for the first time since we've been dating for about a month.

I know you guys probably want to know who it is that I'm dating, but all will be revealed soon enough.

~June 5~
Today was the day I moved into the Palm Woods hotel. I was hoping to get discovered for my singing. I've had many people tell me my voice was amazing and I should do something about it.

So, here I am, waiting in a line, that consisted of two other people, to check into my new apartment. They got their room keys and I walked further up to the desk.

"Welcome to the Palm Woods; home of the future famous. How may I help you?" the manager asked. His name tag said: Mr. Bitters. His last name basically describes his mood.

"I have a room under the name Lily Crossan." Mr. Bitters typed something into the computer and handed me a room key.

"Have a Palm Woods day," Mr. Bitters said with a fake smile. I smiled back genuinely and proceeded down the hall to the elevator.

Something caught my eye on the big memo board hanging on the wall. There was a sign up sheet for singers for a concert in the park tomorrow night at 6:30. I took my time to stop and sign my name on the very last line.

Then, I headed back to the elevator and walked in. I pressed the button to go to the third floor and waited for the doors to close.

Just as they were about to shut, 4 guys came rushing up to the elevator. I quickly pressed the button that opened the doors back up and allowed them in.

"Thanks, I'm Logan," one of the guys said with a warm smile and stuck his hand out for me to shake.

"No problem, I'm Lily," I replied, shaking his hand.

"Oh, and this is Carlos, James, and Kendall." Logan pointed to each one of the other three guys. I smiled and shook all of their hands as well.

"It's nice to meet you guys." They just smiled and nodded almost... dreamily.

"Oh, you're into music?" James asked, pointing to my guitar case with music related quotes plastered all over it.

My favorite: "Music is poetry with personality." - Ross Lynch

"Uh, yeah." I smiled even wider and nodded.

"That's awesome, we're in a band; Big Time Rush!" Carlos informed me.

"Now I remember! I love your guys' music. Now I know why you all look familiar. Smart one!" I said that last part sarcastically and I mentally face palmed.

"It's nice to know you're a fan and now... a friend," Kendall said lightly chuckling. My first friends in Los Angeles. Hmm, and they're all guys.

"Hey, are you guys coming to the concert in the park tomorrow?" I asked them, hopefully.

"Yeah, why?" Kendall asked, confused.

"I'm performing tomorrow night! You guys'll be able to hear my new song I just wrote," I exclaimed.

"Then, we'll definetely be there, I promi-" Carlos got cut off by Logan.

"Dude, no! Remember the last time you promised someone something; Jenny got you and Kendall temporarily kicked out of the Palm Woods." Wow. I don't know what happened and I'm pretty sure I don't want to.

"I'm a little curious as to what happened, but I don't think I need to know." All the guys', but Carlos', eyes widened and they nodded their heads. Suddenly, the elevator dinged, signaling the guys' stop at the second floor.

"Come by later, if you'd like to. Apartment 2J," James said to me as they walked down the hall.

"Thanks!" I yelled back.

The elevator dinged again and I walked down the hall to apartment 3H. I opened the door and walked in with my suitcases and guitar case.

Setting my stuff down, I remembered there was more stuff down in my car. A lot of it was heavy boxes too.

I decided to go down one floor and I ended up at apartment 2J. I knocked, waiting for an answer, but I could hear some faint shouting. It sounded like the guys were arguing about dibs on something.

The door opened and a girl, probably at the age of 13, stood there with an annoyed look on her face.

"Hi, I'm Lily. I was wondering if Logan, James, Carlos, or Kendall were here?"

"I'm Katie, Kendall's little sister. I'll go grab 'em. Come on in. Nice to meet you by the way," she said with a small smile on her face.

"You too and thanks," I responded. Soon, the guys came out to me with smiles on their faces.

"Long time, no see," Kendall said sarcastically.

"Yeah, I know right. Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could help me get some boxes out of my car and up to my apartment?" I asked with a pleading smile.

"Sure," Logan replied.

We all walked out to the elevator and out to my car. The guys took one look at my car and their mouths dropped. Most guys do that when they realize I drive a Dodge Charger Super Bee, but you know what, I don't care. The front of my car looks, as my parents would say, beefy, as in muscly. It would intimidate anyone at the stop light. Trust me, it's happened A LOT. I just ignore them and enjoy the booming sound of music coming through the speakers.

"That's your car?!" all four of them shouted, pointing to my car.

"Yep!" I replied, "Now help me with these boxes." I grabbed a box and the guys each grabbed two boxes. Well, at least I don't need to make a second trip down.

We made it back up to my apartment and I unlocked the door. They put the boxes down on the floor and let out a long breath.

"Well, thanks. Would you guys like to stay and help me put things away or just keep me company?" I asked them, panting from carrying, what I think, are my glass plates.

"Sorry, I can't I have to go help my mom with one of her home projects," Kendall said, a little sad.

"That's alright, I understand. What about you guys?" I turned to Logan, James, and Carlos as Kendall walked out.

"Carlos and I have to go by the studio for a little bit, so bye guys!" Logan said and dragged Carlos out of the apartment with him.
"Well, I don't have anything to do, so I'll stay," James said, smiling at me.

"Okay, looks like it's just us then," I stated the obvious.

"So, what are we going to unpack first?" James asked. An idea popped into my head and I ran to open one of the boxes labeled "Music". James just looked at me confused.
I grabbed my iPod dock and plugged it in, then put my iPod on the dock and started to play some music.

"You just can't not have any music when unpacking. That'd be boring!" I said and he laughed. I looked through my music and picked one of my many songs. It started playing and I started dancing and singing along.

"We'll always be like two halves of the same heart... same heart," I continued singing and smiling, while putting some dishes away in a cabinet. James just smiled back at me and kept watching, while handing me some glasses to put away.

The song ended and James started to walk over to me, "That was great! You're an amazing singer."

"So I've been told. Why don't you jump in on this next song?" I smirked back at him. As I started to play the next song, #thatPOWER, James smirked and shook his head, he still sang anyway and I joined him.

He was taken a bit by surprise at how well I was keeping up with some of the parts of the song. I've listened to this song like a million times on my way here from San Francisco.

The song was close to the end and I found myself staring into James' eyes and he was staring right back at me. He suddenly leaned in and I felt myself lean in a little too.

My eyes fluttered closed as our lips met. We shared a few more kisses before we pulled apart. He imeadietely started talking, "I-I-I'm sorry, I didn't-" I cut him off.

"No, it's okay," I reassured him, then gave him a slight smile.

"Well, I should probably get going. See you tomorrow at the concert," he said walking towards the door.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow," I said, then whispered to myself after he left, "What just happened?"
