Today was a routine sunny day in Los Angeles. I was laying on a lounge chair, sunbathing with my best friend, James Diamond.

He's in a band, Big Time Rush with my brother and his other friends, Carlos and Kendall.

Logan Mitchell and I are fraternal twins, obviously because he's a guy and I'm a girl. We both have dark, alomost raven colored natural hair. My hair has chocolate lowlights in it though. His eyes are brown, like mine but his are a deep brown color and mine are a light honey brown. We're both 5'8" and are considered smart. I'm not quite as much of a smart-ass like he is though.

Logan and I rarely fight, which is weird for siblings. He's 13 minutes older than me, which he likes to rub in, but I don't mind. I love my big brother.

The guys and I have been best friends since co-ed pee-wee hockey when we were 4 years old.

Other than Logan, I am closest to James because we 'get' each other. We share a love of sunbathing and singing. He's the only one that I'll sing in front of, which I don't do very often. James is a sweetheart to me. We sound close, so why don't we date? Yeah right. 1, Logan would have a cow. And 2, we love each other, but not like that at the moment.

Carlos and I are also close. He knows how to make me laugh and he's so fun to be with. We do crazy stuff like shopping cart catapults, etc. together.

Kendall...him and I really aren't close. I mean, we haven't gotten along for the past couple weeks and I have to live with him, but he kind of hates me. We always bicker about everything and just clash. Good thing his mom and Katie love me, because I'd be back in Minnesota instead of at the Palm Woods.

Anywho, James and I were laying out. I was wearing a light blue bikini with my long straight hair in a high ponytail. James was wearing blue and green plaid trunks. James sat up and read something on his phone and looked at me.

"Sorry Sarah, Gustavo wants us in the studio in 30 minutes, so I have to get ready,"

I frowned and said, "That's fine, we didn't come to LA for nothing, did we?"

He smiled at me and started packing up his stuff. "I better get up to 2J too, I don't want to be out here alone,"

He nodded and we walked into the lobby and into the elevator.

Logan was sitting in the couch, reading a Physics book with Kendall next to him watching something random on TV. Carlos had just came down the swirly slide, ready to go.

"Hey Logie, hey Carlos!" I said completely ignoring Kendall and sitting down at a chair by the kitchen counter.

"Hey Sarah Bear!" Logan said looking up from his hook and smiling a crooked smile.

"Sarah!" Carlos exclaimed.

With that, he ran up to me and hugged me.

"Carlos! I was only gone for 3 hours!" I said while giggling.

"I know, but I missed you," he said frowning.

"I missed you too, Carlitos," I said kissing his cheek.

Kendall mocked me with kissing noises, so I got up and threw the nearest pillow at him. Man, I had good aim because it hit him straight in the face.

"What the hell was that for?" he asked, clearly mad.

"For being you," I said with an eyeroll. Going to the couch and sitting on James' lap.

"Anyways," I said. "I might go to the studio today to talk to Gustavo about songwriting,"

I heard dramatic gasps.

"But, Sarah...you've never actually met Gustavo, don't you think that's a bad idea from what you've heard from us?" a worried Logan asked.

"Yeah, I mean he'll probably hate you," Kendall said. "I know I do," he smirked.

"I'm not scared of a big dude with bug-eyed glasses!" I turned to Kendall. "And everyone else but you likes me just fine!" I told him.

"No they don't,"

"Yeah," I glared at him, "They do, Kendall,"

"They fake it,"

"No they don't, you're such an asshole," I scoffed.

"Keep thinking that," he said, eyes glued to the TV.

I got up and walked into the room that I shared with Katie to change.

"And keep thinking that your caterpillar eyebrows are attractive, Knight!" I fired back while slamming my door.

I smiled to myself as I leaned up against my door to hear muffled "Oohs!" and cackling from the other guys.

I changed into a teal and navy blue striped crop top and jean shorts. That was an odd choice for me because I usually wore basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I liked it because it showed a little of my flat stomach without being skanky.

I walked out into the livingroom to see the boys still sitting in the same places. James had changed into a black v-neck and dark washed jeans.

I took back my seat on James' lap and layed my head on his shoulder.

He placed his hands to my waist and pulled me closer.

"You look gorgeous," he whispered in my ear. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

Kendall didn't dare look at me from what I said earlier. Carlos gave me a smile and Logan got up and grabbed the car keys.

"Are you still sure that you wanna go?" he asked.

"Yeah, just let me get my lyrics sheet," I ran back into the room and ripped the sheet for my song, 'We'll Be a Dream'. I folded it and stuck it in my back pocket. I'd ask Gustavo what he thought. The song was a duet, and James knew the song by heart.

I wrote songs for fun, and I wanted to know if I was any good at it. I could maybe sell my songs and get some cash if I got better.

After our short drive to Rocque Records, I was following the guys up to the studio.

We walked through a door when I heard a loud voice yell.

"DOGS! Today you'll be working with Mr. X on your dancing. Don't IRRITATE HIM!"

I jumped a little at his shouting and that's when he came into view. He was a stocky man, on the tall-side. He was wearing yellow-tinted glasses and a large hoodie.

He pointed at me. "Who is she?" he said in a quieter tone than before.

"She," Logan motioned to me. "Is my t-twin," he stuttered out. Gee, he must be scared of this dude.

"There's two of you?" he asked looking at us both. "More importantly, WHY is she HERE?"

I stepped up to him and boldly offered a hand, which he shook. "Mr. Rocque, I heard that you're an amazing, talented guy and I wondered if you could help me with my songwriting?"

"Suck up!" Kendall said under his breath. I stomped on his foot, which was conveniently behind me. His face scrunched up in pain and I turned my attention back to Gustavo.

"Pleeeeaaasse?" I begged the big-shot producer.

"Fine, but only because I like you already," he sighed. "You had a firm handshake and you like to hurt Kendall!" he looked surprised.

"Ehh, he deserves it," I shrugged. "Thanks Mr. Rocque!"

"DOGS!" he returned to his angry nature. "Go to the dance studio! I have to work with Miss Mitchell!"

With that, they all ran to the studio in fear and I laughed to myself.

I was sitting at the piano, smooting out my lyric sheet.

Gustavo clapped his hands together. "Okay, show me what you have so far," he said sitting next to me on the piano stool.

"You want me to sing it?" I said quietly.

"Uh, yeah, I can't just read the lyrics and tell you. I need to hear the music, you can play piano, right?"

"That makes sense! And yeah, I can play,"

I readied my fingers, "Okay, begin," he said.

I started playing a tune to go with the song and it all came together nicely.

'Do you remember the nights we

stayed up just laughing

Smiling for hours, at everything?

Remember the nights we

Drove around crazy, in love?'

I stopped playing and told him, "That was the first verse, I'm sorry that I'm not doing very good, I'm really not a singer," I rambled.

"No, no! That was actually above average! Continue with the chorus,"

'When the lights go out,

We'll be safe and sound

We'll take control of the world

Like it's all we have to hold onto

And we'll be a dream'

I finished the song and looked back at a shocked Gustavo.

"That song has a lot of potential. Did you say it was a duet?"

"Yeah, it was written as one,"

"I'm gonna have to think about it, but I may have to record that with you and one of the dogs," he nodded.

"That's amazing!" I said with a huge smile. "But who's going to sing the female part?

"I'm looking at her," he said.

I suddenly got speechless. Me? I've never sang in front of anyone but James, how would I record this single. I'd totally freak out.

"Look, your vocals are nearly perfect, and I never say that to anyone. Let alone an artist just starting out. I'd like to either sign you or have you as a songwriter here at Rocque Records, what do you say?"

I was shocked but managed to say something.

"That sounds err, great? I don't know, I'll have to think about it. I'll at least record 'We'll Be a Dream' with one of the guys. Does that sound fair?" I asked nervously.

He hesitated at first, but then he said, "Alright,"

He got up and began to walk to the door. Right before he reached it, he turned around and pointed at me, "Don't forget the offer,"

I nodded and when he exited, I squealed.

He actually would sign me for just hearing one song? What would the guys think?

Thoughts bubbled over in my head. I hadn't even accepted, but the deal stands firm. What would happen if I took it? What would happen if I didn't? I decided not to stress over it and think about it like he said to.

We were all back at 2J and we had just eaten lunch. We had dinosaur chicken and chocolate milk. It was a favorite of the guys, so I managed to eat it.

I changed into a red swimsuit because James wanted to go to the beach. Kendall and Carlos were tagging along because they had nothing better to do. I begged Logan to come and he gave in, so he would be driving us.

Kendall came out and sat across the couch from me.

I felt bad about what I said about Kendall's eyebrows earlier, so I decided to speak up.

"I'm sorry about what I said earlier,"

"What do you mean?" he played dumb.

"Your eyebrows..." I trailed off.

"Oh yeah? Then prove it," he said with a smug look on his face.

"How can I prove it to you?" I said moving closer and turning towards him.

"Kiss me," he simply stated.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me," he said shrugging.

"So, you want me to kiss you?" he nodded. "Why the hell would you want me to kiss you if you hate me?" I whisper-shouted, furrowing my eyebrows.

"Look Sarah, I'm sick of playing games with you. You obviously like me, or you wouldn't make such an effort,"

"An effort doing what? It's not an effort to not get along with you, it just happens! You're dating Jo right now anyways!"

"That doesn't matter. I just don't like that you try to make me jealous by kissing around on James and Carlos,"

"That's just how I am, Kendall,"

I was furious now, he used James and Carlos as references to making him jealous...

"You've never kissed me..." he said plainly.

"You hate me, you said it yourself today!"

"It's not like that, Sarah," he said scooting closer. "Just kiss me on the cheek like you do every other guy," he said pointing to his cheek.

I sighed and gave in, leaning in towards his cheek.

Just as my lips were about to make contact with his cheek, he turned his head and made me kiss him on the lips.

His lips were soft, but the kiss was forced. I could feel the desperation, but I couldn't help but kiss back.

Then I realized what I was doing. I was having a make-out session with Kendall Knight.

I pulled away as fast as I could and slapped him across the face. Hard.

"Ow! What was that for?" he asked cold-heartedly

"I was leaning in to kiss your cheek, not for you to swap spit with me!" I said getting up to get away from him.

"I can't help myself," he shrugged.

Before I could get past him, he grabbed my wrist and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened, okay?"

I yanked my wrist back, clearly more pissed off than before. "Don't worry!" I yelled back.

I grabbed a towel out of the bathroom just as Carlos was walking in.

"You look pissed. What happened?" he asked with concern.

"I don't want to talk about it, I have a lot on my mind right now," I told him and he nodded.

I actually did have a lot on my mind, with the record deal and now Kendall acting all weird.

"Okay, is everyone ready?" Logan asked.

Everyone was ready, so we left.

Logan and Carlos were in the front seats, because Carlos of course had to call shotgun.

That meant that I was smooshed in the middle of James and... Kendall.

I leaned closer to James and layed my head on his chest. I looked at him as if saying 'thank you', he gave me a smile and a soft laugh, knowing that I really didn't want to be beside (or anywhere near) Kendall.

I was now walking down the beach with James. Yes, we were holding hands.

Carlos and I had boogie-boarded for almost a whole hour, and Logan threw me into the cold ocean water, which turned into a splash fight. I hadn't really spent much time with James since we were at the studio.

"So, how did it go with Gustavo today? Did he give you any tips?"

"It went great, he helped me a lot," I said in a sad tone, knowing that I haven't told him about the offer Gustavo made to me.

"Are you sure everything went fine? Because you don't seem very happy? Did he say something to you? I swear tomorrow I'll-" I cut him off with a soft laugh.

"It actually went great," I said sincerely.

He smiled down at me and said, "He liked your song? Sarah! That's great!"

He picked me up and spun me around in a hug. After he put me down, we continued walking. I still had the uneasy feeling like I hadn't told the whole truth. I had to tell him now.

"So is he going to produce the song with someone famous or what?" he asked, in an overly excited voice.

"Oh, he's going to produce it alright..." I chuckled. "One of you guys will be singing it!"

"That's awesome!" he exclaimed. "But wait, it's a duet, right? Who is the other singer?" Shoot. Now I had to tell him.

I opened my mouth and nothing came out. He stopped and looked at me funny.

"Are you okay? Just tell me who," He said with a confused look.

"It's m-me," I said looking into gorgeous hazel eyes that filled with even more excitement.

"I knew that you could sing, but what made you decide to do it? You barely like to sing for me!"

"He just convenced me, I guess..." I trailed off. Feeling awkward, I said "We should be getting back to the Palm Woods, it's getting dark,"

He agreed and we intertwined our fingers and walked up the shore.

We got up to where the guys were and it looked like they were ready too.

Kendall saw mine and James' hands and gave me a 'wtf' look. Logan and Carlos didn't think anything of it. I shook it off and climbed back into the car. This time, I called shotgun to avoid the awkwardness.

I went straight to mine and Katie's room when we got back. She wasn't there because she was busy playing poker with the employees. It was only 7:00 anyway.

I changed into gray basketball shorts and a black v-neck for bed. I started to read the latest Pop Tiger. It was an obsession for me and James to read this magazine.

When I was about halfway through the magazine, there was a soft knock at the door.

"It's me," a voice I recognized as my own brother's said.

I told him to come in as I sat my Pop Tiger down. He opened the door and walked in. Logan sat right next to me on my bed.

There was an awkward silence as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Erm..." he started. "I've noticed today that you've been acting strange," he said pealing his eyes from his lap and on to my eyes. "Is there anything bothering you? Was there something Gustavo said to make you sad?"

I laughed, which made him sigh in relief. "Nothing's wrong... Everything's great actually," I told him. "I didn't want to tell you this, but he loved my song and he wants me to record it with a member of Big Time Rush!"

He engulfed me in a hug and said, "That's amazing! You said something about singing, but I didn't know you were that good! I mean Gustavo actually liked you!" I glared at him and he laughed nervously and said, "Not that he wouldn't, but he's Gustavo! You've heard our stories, I mean...err, bleep, blop, bloop!"

"I know what I mean," I said while patting his back. "Can you keep a secret? A big one?" I asked with pleading eyes.

He nodded, so I told him about the record deal. It felt good to tell someone about the possibility, even when I couldn't tell James yet.

He was really happy and told me I should do whatever I want to.

He said that if I was comfortable with it, I should do it and make the most of it.

We'll see...
