A/N- So this idea hit me in a dream. No joke. Oh, I wanna give a big big big thanks to my awesomest biffle sleep twin Cheeky Brunette for encouraging me to actually to this. And also for Countrychick67 for helping me a bit with this...I love the two of you so this is dedicated to the you both!
I dont know if this is exactly what you were all expecting when you first read the summary, but give it some time and trust me it will get alot better, and in the end you'll see that the whole story line comes together, and it'll be worth the reading! :)
This story will mostly be from Logan's POV, if otherwise I'll tell you.
Disclaimer- I dont own Big Time Rush.
Chapter 1
It all started with the simple suggestion when I was 15 from my mother that I go visit the park. Little did I know it would end like this. It didnt have to end like this, it didnt have to end the way it did. The mental institution, the rehab, all the unfound drugs and weapons. The disputes that are not yet settled, and the secrets that are still to unravel. And it all started, with a simple suggestion from my mother to visit the park.
My bags still left half packed, I scurried out of my new home, zipping up my jacket. The weather was much colder here in Minnesota then it was in New Jersey. But I assumed I would have to get used to it. I guess I wasnt too fond of moving, but I wasnt too worried about making friends and fitting in. But little did I know, what I was really in for.
In the small town's park, dirt blew in my face as I manuvered through unpatched and rigid areas of grass. The park was for the most part abandoned, and not a pretty sight. Im guessing I wont be spending too much time here.
But then there was yelling. And in the distance, there was a blurry sight, but I could make out yelling, and a few boys that looked around my age. As I approached closer to the scene, I had felt a sickening and unwelcomed feeling in the pit of my stomach as the sight unraveled before my eyes. Maybe I shouldnt be here.
But, instincts took over, and as soon as I saw someone get stabbed, I absent midedly called out, "Hey!"
Shit. Bad move. I always have to get involved, dont I? Clamping a hand over my mouth, I watched as the tall blonde who was involuntarilly shaking another boys shirt collar dropped him to the ground, and grabbed the Latino, pulling him closer.
I bit my lip, trying to make out what he was whispering to the shorter Hispanic, and soon a shiver went down my spine when the blonde pointed to me and the blood smeered shorter fellow came happily skipping towards me.
"Hey!" he hopped up and down, seemingly happy, even though he was all cut up and dirty.
"..Hi.." my response was unsure, and cautious. I eyed his shorter figure gingerly, then bit my lip, cocking my head.
The opposing boy glanced back at the blonde, who him and another boy with longer brown hair kicked the young man on the ground, mouthing something to him, and then swung his attention back to me, "Hi..uhm..your name is..."
"Logan."
"Logan..right. So uhm..you new here?"
Licking my lips and folding my arms, I nodded, growing suspicous, yet scared at the same time, "Yeah. I uh..just moved here..from New Jersey." I added.
"Oh..well uh.." as if trying to distract me from the scene infront of us, he grabbed my shoulders and lead us back more towards the playground and we stood talkng behind it.
"Im Carlos," he chimed in, "Well uhmm..."
As seing he was sent over here to distract me, Carlos ran out of words to say. Perfect timing for the other two boys to approach us. The blonde boy wipped his bloody chin, pulling himself together, and clamped his hands at his sides. The taller brunette stood over me, walking in circles around me and nodding his head.
"Uh..hi." I greeted.
He retaliated by shoving my smaller frame to the ground.
"James!" the blonde one snapped.
James clapped his hands together, and gave me a hand back up. He nodded a few more times, popped his gum, then spat on the ground. He looked me in the eyes, "What's your name?"
Intimidated, I took a step back. But only to be caught by the blonde, "Uh.." I stuttered, "Logan."
He purced his lips, nodding again, "Logan, heh?"
I nodded slowly.
"So uh..Logan, buddy, buddy, buddy..You're in the wrong place at the wrong time." He spat, pure venom and sarcasm dripping from his every word.
The blonde grabbed my shoulders, spinning me around, "Look. I dont know who you are, but-"
"He's new here!" Carlos abrubtly interrupted, "He's from New Jersey. And he's new..he doesnt know any better." he muttered softly.
The blonde boy nodded in understandment, "Well," he put out a hand and I shook it, "My name is Kendall. Welcome to Minnesota."
Now confused, but deciding to go along with it, I smiled shyly. Kendall went on, "Where ya from again?"
"New Jersey." Carlos repeated.
Kendall nodded, exchanging a nod in understandment and agreement with James, "Tell me Jersey kid, what grade you in?"
"Im a Junior."
"You attending the high school here?"
"Yep."
James and Kendall smiled, "Well.." Kendall ducked his head, "Youve got alot to learn about this town. This town isnt safe. This town isnt nice. The kids arent safe. The kids arent nice."
James and Kendall exchanged a glance, then walked away for a second, leaving me with Carlos. The shorter teen just bit his lip staring at me and rocking back and forth on his heels. Soon enough, the other two boys returned, and Kendall grabbed me by the shoulders looking at me in the eyes, "Like I said, this place isnt safe."
Kendall's got to be messing with me. Trying to scare me into thinking this town isnt safe so I'll cry and then go back to where I came from. I know how the new kid trick works. Im not stupid.
But the look in these guys' eyes and the tones in thier voices begged to differ. Something told me they were serious.
"But," James spun me back around, "Dont worry, we got your back." he smirked.
Taking a step back, I raised a brow at my newly found 'friends', "Uh..how?"
"Well," Kendall began, "The kids here arent gunna like you. And if anyone wants to mess with you, we'll just step in and protect you... Because, well, nobody messes with us." he chuckled at the last part.
Dumbfounded, I gave the three boys a look in confusion, "Why does noone mess with you?"
Kendall put his arm around me, "You've got alot to learn."
Taking his arm off me, I took this into consideration. Maybe I walked in this town with alittle too much confidence. Back in New Jersey, I was prone to bullying, and after what Ive heard about this town, I think Im gunna need all the protection I can get.
"So you guys will really protect me?"
"Yep," James nodded, then put his arm around me, "If.."
"If?"
Flipping his hair, he pointed to the bloody boy on the ground across the park, "If you dont tell anybody what we did to that boy over there."
A/N- So obviously this is slight A.U. Only slight, but you will be hearing from other characters soon. Such as Jett, Jo, Camille, Mercedez, Gustavo and others. But thier roles will be alittle switched. Even if your not a fan of AU stories, please stick with this, it will be great I promise. Review please?
