Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson and Carlos Pena were laughing as they walked through the parking lot of the beach, carrying bags full of sun screen, deflated beach balls and anything else they thought they'd need for the beach.
The main beach was actually a bit down the road but they didn't want to be crowded so they came to the less busy part which also happened to be a little murkier and rockier. They didn't care though, they figured they'd just lay on the grass anyway.
The boys set their towels up on a patch of grass and lay down. Most of that part of the beach was grass but closer to the water was the actual sand. For the most part, it was pretty peaceful.
Other than them, there was only a quiet family who were having a picnic and a girl sitting on a small ledge just about the water, listening to music.
"This is perfect." Kendall sighed in content. This was their day off before they did another concert in Darwin, Australia, where they currently were. "I miss days like this, the ones where we can just relax and enjoy ourselves."
The rest of his bandmates nodded in agreement. Being in Big Time Rush sure did take away their privacy but it only made peaceful days like this even better.
"But seeing girls in bikinis would have been nice too..." Logan muttered. The boys started laughing, seeing the pout on their friends face.
"There's a girl!" Carlos pointed loudly at the girl sitting on the ledge. Thankfully, her music was on too loud for her to actually hear the singer shouting. "She's not in a bikini but the back of her head looks nice."
"Well, if the back of her head is nice, then I may as well marry her!" Logan said sarcastically and they all starting laughing again. "What if she is horribly disfigured?"
There was a pause as they thought. Finally James answered. "You could always give her a mask?"
Kendall chuckled, "You should go talk to her."
"No, she looks like she's enjoying her privacy. Besides, I came here to chill with you guys, not hit on disfigured chicks." Logan shrugged.
"So, you're telling us that we have another three months of shows left and you want to spend your one day off hanging out with three men?" James repeated and Logan hesitated.
"Good point. I'm gonna go see if she wants to hang out with us." Logan decided as he stood up. The boys laughed as he jogged towards the girl.
Logan plopped down beside the brunette who flinched, not noticing him at first. She pulled her earbuds out of her ears. "Uh..."
"Hey, I'm Logan." the singer/actor gave her one of his famous dimpled smiles and held out his hand, letting her shake it. She definitely wasn't deformed but she wasn't exactly the hottest girl he'd ever seen either. She was cute though, in that innocent sort of way.
She had naturally wavy brown hair, blue eyes and a button nose that was splattered with freckles. "I'm Addie, it's nice to meet you." she said quietly. The way she hugged her baggy sweater closer together, it was easy to tell that the girl was self conscious.
"Me and my friends thought you looked lonely and we wanted to see if you wanted to join us?" Logan offered, grinning. Addie twisted around, looking at the band who all waved back at her.
"I'd like-"
And then she was gone.
It wasn't this big moment where the ledge collapsed and she fell to her death in the water below, but one second she was there and the next she was gone and there was a large splash in the water below.
It didn't take Logan long before he ripped his shirt off and dove in after her, thinking she had merely slipped. Boy, was he dead wrong.
It was hard to see in the murky waters, but Logan was just able to make out Addie thrashing around, trying to make it to the top. But she wasn't alone.
He saw its tail first, a large, armoured tail, floating through the water, brushing against Addie lightly first, making her scream, but water only filled her lungs and muffled her voice.
Logan shot to the surface of the water, making it to the top and gasping for breath. The rest of the people on the beach were crowding around the ledge where the two had fallen in.
"Get help!" Logan screamed before diving back in. He had to help her!
Within the few seconds that Logan was getting help, the crocodile had already latched onto Addie's leg and was thrashing around wildly, trying to rip her limb off. It was like it was rolling in the water, trying to drown her, and it didn't look like Addie was doing so well against it.
Logans fists slammed against the crocodile, trying to hit the one part of its body that wasn't covered in hard scales; it's eyes. But because it was rolling around so much, he only managed to get whipped in the face with a massive tail.
There was a moment where the crocodile stopped, letting the splashing end and for Addie's blood to really seep into the dirty water. It couldn't have been more than a few seconds but it was like time froze.
Addie looked at Logan, her eyes screaming in agony and her hands reaching for him as she silently pleaded for help. Logan lunged for her, wrapping his arms around her body and giving her a hard yank.
He half expected her entire leg to rip off or for her to not even budge at all, but somehow, as if God were on their side, she slipped out of the crocodiles mouth and towards the surface of the water.
They both broke the surface at the same time, gasping for breath, as they splashed around. "Help!" Logan coughed, but it barely came out as more than a whisper.
It was stupid of Logan to think he was out of danger the second Addie was released from the monsters jaws. It was stupid to think that they could just swim back to shore and live happily ever after.
No, they only were 'safe' for about ten seconds before Logan felt the terrifying jaws of the crocodile sink into his ankle and pull him below, bringing Addie down with him. There was a split second where the monster released Logan, only to take a bigger bite of him, swallowing all the way up to his upper thigh.
This is it...
Memories of his childhood, his rise to fame, and the three boys he liked to call his brother flashed in his mind. If he was going to die, then he was going to for remembering all the good times.
He was so tired, so weak. He didn't notice as Addie slipped out of his arms and sunk to the bottom of the shallow water. He didn't notice her grab a sharp rock from the floor and hold it above her head. He didn't notice as she slammed the sharpest point straight into the crocodiles eyes.
Logan didn't notice any of this until he felt its jaws let go of him and he started floating to the surface, using any strength he had left to swim.
Kendall, James and Carlos were standing at the shore, pointing to the paramedics where Logan and the girl were last seen. They had been under for what seemed like hours but couldn't have been more than a few minutes.
And suddenly, the unnerving calm water was disrupted as a familiar boy floated to the top, face down in the water, soon followed by Addie who was in a similar position. Kendall felt his stomach drop. He's dead, he's dead, he's dead..
Kendall, James and Carlos splashed into the water, going as far as waist deep before they reached their friend and the girl. They dragged the two back to shore and flipped them over, so they were on their backs.
Logan was in bad condition. He had long scratches across his face and chest where he had been whipped by the crocodiles long tail. But his lower half was even worse. Blood seeped through his swim shorts, staining the sand red.
But the girl was in far worse condition. Flesh was hanging off her leg and blood wasn't just seeping through her clothes, it had already turned her entire leg red. The medics started working immediately, pressing their ears to their chests and listening for heartbeats.
"This ones alive!" the one by Addie called before he started performing CPR. Both of them had been under for far too long to be breathing properly.
"So is the boy!" Kendall, James and Carlos all felt relief wash through their veins as the medic called out. But just as fast as the relief came, it vanished. Logan was still in critical condition, and even though he was awake and his eyes were open, it didn't look like he quite knew what was going on.
"Help me.." he whispered, staring into Kendall's eyes, "please."
"The ambulance is here, you're going to be fine." Carlos reassured just before he was shoved back by a medic who was trying to load Logan into the ambulance. "We'll meet you at the hospi-"
Before Carlos could so much as finish his sentence, his friend had already been loaded into the ambulance and was sped off. Big Time Rush got in their cars and followed behind in silence.
Even though none of them would say it, they all had the feeling that Logan wasn't going to be okay.
