"Big Time Change"
Chapter one: Carlos "The Firework"
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing."
The song "Firework" by Katy Perry was playing on the stereo at apartment 2J. The boys of Big Time Rush decided to throw a party while Mama Knight and Katie where at a weekend spa retreat. Carlos was sitting on the couch drinking his mixed drink while the other three boys were talking to everyone at the party. Carlos sighed and looked over to Kendall. The blonde was happily talking to his girlfriend Jo. Jo was on a break from filming her movie trilogy, thus the party was formed. This party was like a welcome back, temporarily, party.
"You just got to ignite the light and let it shine," Carlos sang along as he downed the remainder of his drink. Carlos was already on his fourth cup, yet he felt like drinking more. So he got up to make himself another drink, making his way through the crowds of people, and accidently bumping into Logan. Logan smiled at Carlos, but the smile quickly faded away when he realized Carlos was already drunk. He put his drink down and led Carlos to the kitchen counter, "Carlos, how many drinks have you had exactly?"
Carlos looked up at Logan and smiled, "I-I had like…this many drinks," he said holding up four fingers. Logan's eyes widened. He had never seen Carlos drink so many mix drinks in one night. Usually his limit would be two, because Carlos always had to fill the cup halfway with alcohol then the other half with whatever he was mixing it with, and Carlos never drank more than two cups unless something was bothering him.
Logan took the cup that was in Carlos' hand away and placed it on the counter. He looked back at his drunken friend, who was looking back at him with a 'WTH?' look on his face. "No more drinking for you Carlos. You've had one too many drinks. I'm sorry but I think it's time for you to go to bed."
"Heh, whatever Logan! Who are you my mother?" Carlos yelled back to his friend. He got up and went to grab a can of Coke from the fridge. "Don't worry Logan, it's only a coke!" Logan sighed and watched as an angry Carlos stormed off towards his room. He didn't want Carlos drinking anymore but he felt really bad that he upset Carlos. "Curse you conscience." He said to himself as he made his way to Carlos's room.
He knocked on the door and waited for Carlos to answer the door. He knocked again, and still no response. "Carlos? L-look I'm sorry. You can go ahead and drink as much as you want to. I-"Logan was interrupted when the door swung open. Carlos stood in front of Logan and smiled, "I don't need your permission Logie Bear. I stop drinking when I want to." Carlos held up the can of coke and pulled out a flask from his pocket. The Latino had filled the flask up with Jack Daniels whiskey before the party started. Carlos did this to ensure that he still had something to drink if everyone drank up the booze before he felt a buzz.
Logan gave Carlos a disappointed look. He was hoping that Carlos would realize he was right and decide to stop drinking but Carlos was ready to get wasted. Logan turned around without saying anything and headed back to the kitchen. As he was leaving he felt his arm being grabbed and next thing he knew he was in Carlos's room. He turned to see Carlos closing the door behind him.
"I'm sorry Logan . . . I will stop drinking if you want me to." He sat on his bed and threw the flask over to the basket of dirty clothes on the end of his bed. He was upset about something, anyone who knew Carlos could tell.
"Its fine Carlos," Logan said as he sat next to his friend. He started rubbing his back when he noticed Carlos started to cry. "So what's eating you Carlos?" He asked, worried for the Latino. Carlos wiped a few tears away and looked at Logan.
The Latino looked at his bud, "Logie Bear. I'm. A . . . Firework~" The tanned boys lips met with Logan's and for the first time in a long time, Carlos Garcia was truly happy.
