First off a shout out to the lovely SuperSillyStories for not only giving me the help to write again but also making me want to write this!


"Miss Munroe, it seems that Keely's fever has decreased and her blood pressure has dropped back down to normal. Her breathing is perfect and it seems that this bought of Pneumonia has cleared completely out of her system for now. Although, as you know, with Keely's condition she is prone to catching this again very soon and I suggest limited activity in large crowds. If you do take her off the premises however, we will supply a wheelchair and a sufficient supply of oxygen for the length of time you plan to keep her outside the hospital grounds just for precautionary measures as well as us receiving the promise of contact if her condition is to show any signs of abnormality,"

Nodding slowly, Avery's hand moved to her long bangs and pushed them behind her ear looking at the dark haired nurse in front of her, her dark eyes scanning over a chart in her hand.

"So she can go to the concert?" Avery asked slowly, raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow at the young nurse who's face was perfectly frames by black glasses perched upon her nose and a small bottle of bright orange of hand sanitizer hanging from her belt loop.

"Your sisters condition seems stable enough so-"

"Kayla, can you be my best friend instead of my sisters nurse for two seconds, it's her fourth birthday and she really wants to see them?" she questioned as her blue eyes bore into that of her friends contrasting dark ones. She watched as she removed the glasses from her face, her eyes moving to the clock above their heads and waited patiently for the bubbly smile to fall upon her perfect complexion.

"Duh! Why do you think I've been working extra shifts recently? Gotta make sure my Keel gets to see her boys," Kayla Stevens', a young nurse in her first interning year at the Los Angles Children's Hospital, voice changed as she stepped out of nurse mode and into her usual self as the clock struck pm. Avery couldn't help but shake her head with a small laugh as she followed her friend down the ward's corridor, smiling towards the children that were scattered around the wing, some walking around, others in need of assistance from either nurses or frames. To Avery, these kids were perfectly normal, they had bright futures ahead of them even though they had obstacles in their paths at that current moment. She knew them as if they were her siblings. This hospital, as much as she hated to say it, was considered a second home to her. The nurses grew to be her friends, the doctors her mentors and the food became bearable.

"Keely's been so excited the last few days I swear she's a new girl. Every night she's been saying that she will be better enough to see her baby Jamie,"

Avery had to roll her eyes as Kayla raised the tone of her voice slightly, a flirty smile on her face as she knocked on the door leading to a private room. She didn't wait for a response as she knew it wouldn't come. Pushing open the door, the bright pink bed spread came into vision, a little girl with blonde braids sitting on the bed with a set of earphones in her small ears, music playing which brought her to life. A large bear was placed between her legs covering the tubes that lead to her nose, connecting her with the compact machine that was kept in a small Big Time Rush backpack that she constantly carried around.

Copying Kayla, Avery moved her hands to the bottle at the end of the bed, squirting the neon green liquid into her palms and rubbing them together. Spotting her big sister, 4 year old Keely Munroe smiled, popping the white buds from her ears and standing on the bed, moving her pack with her and going towards Avery.

"Did she tell you?" her little voice was clear and excited, the smile on her face giving away that she had already been informed she could attend Big Time Rush's homecoming show. Avery's larger hands found her baby sister's and grasped them, watching her sister with a smile as she bounced lightly on the bed in excitement. "I go see Jamie!"

"Kayla told me, yes but you gotta behave. I'm sure James' wouldn't want his biggest fan to have an attack in front of him."

"I won't! I promise," Keely held out her pinkie as the bouncing subsided and waiting for her sister to link hers together.

"Ok, well Kayla is gonna change and then she's gonna get your stuff so you can go. Do you want to change into your special outfit?" Avery asked her sister and her excited nod answered her question. Placing the red and black straps on the small girls shoulders, Avery picked her up gently as Kayla wheeled in the specially equipped wheelchair that would be their prime fashion accessory for the evening. "So we have your shirt and jeans and these shoes?"

"It's hard to believe Aviator that kids used to be like this a few hours before your shows."

"Kayla! Don't call me that," A small pair of red converse flew towards the nurses head, Keely giggling in delight as she watched their playfulness.

"Aviator!"

"Kayla's stupid, huh?" Keely nodded through her laughter as she was placed upon the closed toilet seat, Avery kneeling to remove her pink slippers that were secured upon her small feet. From over her shoulder, she reached for the pink and black Big Time Rush merchandise shirt that Kayla had given Keely for her birthday earlier that day. Looking at the faces on the material of the four boys, made her eyebrows furrow. Tracing a finger over the text that read 'homecoming show', Avery looked up at her sister's face, brightened with excitement as she swung her legs back and forth lightly, removing the hair tie that kept her braid together.


3 years previously

"James, you're gonna pull my arm off, slow down," A young Kendall Knight forcefully removed his arm from his best friends grip and walked slowly behind him along the icy Minnesota walk way on their return from a long day at school.

"We're gonna miss it!" James yelled determined to reach their destination of Kendall's house a few blocks away. Green eyes met brown as Kendall looked to the smaller brunette next to him, nose deep in a thick book, his fingerless gloves tracing over the words not to loose place.

"I don't see why it's so important. We have a test tomorrow, that's important. Important if I want to get into Med school before I turn 30!"

"Logan, you could walk into Med school next week and be accepted," Kendall told his friend before looking back towards James, who was now a good 20 feet in front of them.

"She's announcing something today on MTV. I bet its a tour or a new album, or that she is looking for her perfect guy who just happens to be from Minnesota and has perfect hair." The three boys behind a 17 year old James Diamond rolled their eyes at the exact moment he mentioned his hair. This obsession had been going on since the boys were 13 ever since she popped into the scene with her first single and long blonde hair and the cute cluster of freckles that were on her neck. Shaped like a diamond. Not that Kendall noticed these things before James however, he had listened to James list how perfect this upcoming pop star was to him and how they would make the perfect couple and would be married later in life with a big house and perfect children. It didn't take long before James was madly in love with her even though, in reality, there was no chance of him coming within 10 feet of her. She was his first celebrity crush and he had fallen hard. More into hockey at the time, Logan, Kendall and Carlos just let James be but were always dragged into his crazy obsession after hockey practices.

"Come on, dude! It's started," James screeched frantically as he watched Kendall search for his keys in his backpack, his eyes darting through the living room window at the TV as if it would magically turn on and she would pop up on the screen.

"I'm trying!" Kendall snapped back as he threw a book into James' arms, his hand submerged to the bottom of his school bag before he felt the familiar shape of his keys. "Here."

Before he could move them to the lock, the book that he had given to James fell upon his foot as the brunette pushed his way through the door having snatched the keys and unlocked it before Kendall could even realize what was happening.

A look of pain quickly fell upon Kendall's face as Carlos moved passed and into the warm Knight household.

"You dropped your book, man," Logan said simply, shoving the book into Kendall's chest on his walk passed, following Carlos and James into the living room, dropping his bag upon there's in the hallway before.

A cloud of air left his mouth as he let out a deep breath into the cold air, yanking his keys from the lock and slamming the heavy door behind him. Kendall took his time removing his jacket and beanie and placing them, neatly, onto the pegs that were placed by the door. Kicking the bags of his fiends into the corner, he stepped over one of Katie's latest projects before falling onto the old couch in the middle of the room, the TV on and a blonde sat with a microphone to her mouth.

"And that's my announcement, bye guys!" Her smile was small and weak, almost forced as the TV cut back to a very tanned Ryan Seacrest standing in his studio.

"WHAT!? What was it?" James froze in the middle of the room, turning slowly on his heel to look at Kendall who simply raised his thick eyebrow. "You made me miss it!"

"So? She was probably promoting a new perfume or something stupid and girly like that, why do you care?" Running a hand through his blonde locks, Kendall simply watched his friend raise his middle finger towards him before he turned back towards the television.

"Well there you have it guys and dolls. For those who missed it, pop sensation AJ Munroe has announced that her newly released album is her last and her studio time is over at the tender age of 16. With a string of hits, Gustavo Rocque's first signing as a producer as said she is ready to hang up her microphone and help out of her family in a tying time. Who will be our next music sensation?"

"What!" Rolling his eyes, Kendall nudged Carlos who simply nodded, placing his black helmet upon his head and tapping it twice before he prepared himself for the lunging James that flew towards Kendall. In a fluster, they fell to the floor as the Latino held back the taller boy trying to reach for the blonde on the couch.


"Will you ever sing again AJ?" In the midst of tying her laces, Avery looked up at her sister who was now dressed in her Big Time Rush t-shirt. "Mommy has tapes and she brings them in of you singing for me to watch when I don't feel well. You're good!"

Avery smiled at her baby sister before lifting her up again, placing her on her hip and turning her head to her. She simply shrugged her shoulders as she let Keely play with her long hair. "I sing to you at bedtime don't I?"

"Not like that! On a stage, like Jamie." Keely pointed to the hazel eyed boy on her t-shirt and looked back at her sister. "You could sing together!"

With a gentle laugh, Avery walked back into the hospital room and placed the small girl into the wheelchair, placing the safety belt around her waist as a newly changed Kayla re-entered, three tickets in hand.

"Probably not gonna happen Keely Cakes," Avery told her little sister as she tapped her index finger against her nose. "You're my priority now,"

"Come on you two! We're gonna be late." Avery turned to her best friend and raised an eyebrow, something she done often and soon became her signature facial expression in Kayla's mind. Standing up, Avery pulled her hair from its bun and let it float against her shoulders before stepping behind the wheelchair and pushing her sister out of her room into the corridor, towards the elevators at the end.

For one night, Avery James Munroe was going to let her little sister see her favourite band for her birthday. Let her forget about being sick, the hospital walls, the medicine and just enjoy being 4 and having a huge crush on a singer in a boy band. She wanted her to feel normal and have a good time even if she knew where she'd be coming back to for treatment the next morning.

She was going to see Big Time Rush with her baby sister and best friend and at that moment, that's all that mattered.
