Chapter 1 ~ Old Friends

Author's Note: Hey this is the first chapter of my second story. Hope you all like it and please review. I can take criticism and it helps me write better. Please please review :) I don't own Big Time Rush.

I feel the wind through my hair as Im riding down my favorite trail on Kismet, my brown and white horse. The smell of the pine trees in the air is so fresh and I can hear the birds singing around me. I slow Kismet down towards the top of the hill, it is so peaceful up here as I look down towards Los Angelas. I only live like 15 minutes outside of the city but when I'm out riding it seems I'm worlds away. I sigh as I look at my watch, I need to start going back home.

Riding back is not as fun because I know I have to go back to the real world. When I'm on Kismet it is like I can just clear my head and forget everything else it's really nice. I start back down the hill while thinking out what I have to do today...

I walk Kismet back into her stall in the barn and hand her an apple, "Good girl," I pat her neck. I walk out of the barn and into the house.

"Ronni! Where have you been? You need to get ready to see your cousin," my mom gets made at me while I walk through the door.

"I was riding like I do every Saturday morning. We are only seeing Carlos it's not like the first time I have seen him or his friends," I open the fridge. It is true it is not the first time i have met Carlos, but we haven't seen each other for like 7 years since we were 9 and I moved out here. Now him and his friends are in a band called Big Time Rush and live out here so we are going to see them.

"I still want you to look nice, so go get ready," my mom says and walks upstairs. I sighs, cause I'm gonna go there looking horrible I laugh to myself. I sit down at the table with my bowl of cereal as my 11 yr old brother walks down the stairs. He is bout 5 feet and has brown hair and hazel eyes. We have the same natural tan like our father.

"Hey Jesse, just wake up?" I ask him as he rubs his eyes.

"Yeah, why is mom in such a bad mood?" he pours himself a bowl of cereal.

"Well probably hormones," I make a pregnant belly motion with my hands and Jesse laughs.

"Yeah well we only have another month."

"Yeah but then there is the baby. It is not as fun as it seems, I was 7 when you were born. Ah the good old day," I smile.

"Hey I'm right here!" Jesse punches my arm.

"Well it doesn't matter cause your here and your a little squirt," I stand up from my chair and tussle his hair.

"Hey I'm only like a half a foot shorter then you," he yells to me as I walk down the hall to my room.

I sit in front of my mirror and look at my reflection, my long layered brown hair is a little messy from my riding helmet. I look at my blue eyes that are mesmerizing. I brush my hair, change into a purple bikini and put on a green shirt and shorts over. There is a pool where my cousin lives and if I don't swim there I'm gonna go to the beach since I'm leaving before my mom and brother since they have to wait for my dad. I grab a towel, put on my flip flops, grab my keys and head out the door...

I pull up to the Palm Woods in my blue 1967 Shelby Mustang. I step out of the car and walk in, it definably had a Hollywood vibe to it. It was alright not really my style, I see Carlos and his friends... of course fighting I walk up by them and listen in.

"I should hold the sign she is my cousin," Carlos says talking the little sign from another one of them.

"No I will I made it," one of them says, I can't really recognize him.

"No she was my homework buddy, I should hold it," I know for a fact that was Logan.

"Um Carlos?" I say.

Carlos turns toward me, "Hey Ronni, one sec," he says then turns toward his friends and I laugh. Then he turns back around and puts a huge smile on "RONNI!" he gives me a huge hug and I almost fall over.

"Nice to see you too Carlos," I laugh again. The others join in the hug and I'm in the middle of it, which I really didn't mind. "Umm guys getting a little claustrophobic here."

"Sorry," they say almost at the same time and let go.

"You remember Kendall, James and Logan right," Carlos points to his friends.

"Yeah you guys look a little different when you were 9 though," I stated.

"Yeah well so do you," James says.

"Well yeah but you know what I mean. So how have you guys been since I left?" I asked.

"Same. Hockey, school, chores except now we are in a band," Kendall says.

"Yeah and Gustavo is so strict," Logan adds.

"Yeah well I should come with you guys one day... please" I beg.

"Yes of course, I dont think he will mind my cousin watching. Anyways we need to hang out more and have some PARTIES!" Carlos starts dancing in his seat.

"Haha yeah, well when my parents are away in like a week we can have one. My house is perfect for parties, big backyard and trees to put lights and no neighbors for bout a mile in each direction so we can't get in trouble," I tell them.

"What about your brother?" Carlos asks.

"He usually goes to his friends house, but he knows I have parties but doesn't say anything cause I buy him candy and soda," my phone rings, I look it's my mom. "One sec guys I have to take this," I get up and take a few steps away and answer the phone, "Hey mom are you guys gonna come soon?"

"Ronni, something bad happened. Your dad was in an accident, we are at the hospital. He is hurt really bad come right away, he is in surgery," she started crying.

"What! I will be right there," tears start to form in my eyes as I hang up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Carlos walks over to me.

"It's my dad he was in an accident and hurt badly," I break into tears and fall into his arms.
