(A/N)~~So this idea came form a book I read recently and I loved the idea and decided to make it a BTR story. Not sure if you guys know this yet but I am a huge BTR fan. :) Aren't we all though? ;) So for those of you who follow me know that I have another story in progress and I will be updating that one soon but I have a whole week off and intend on updating and updating and updating. As busy as I have been these last few weeks I do not plan on leaving my bed with my laptop in hand. Enjoy and R&R please. I love to hear from you guys.

Chapter one

About a month and a half ago I was told that I would be joining the group Big Time Rush on their summer tour. I had never met them nor had I ever seen them on TV or anything. I had met them a few days after the announcement was made and they were the nicest group of guys I had ever met. They were very sweet and very excited to tell me about what was going to be happening. Talking to them was making me a little more excited and a little less nervous. After meeting them we all went in for a meeting and talked about the tour; promotional stuff that had to go on before the tour, the dates, the cities and when rehearsals would start. I really didn't get to talk to them after that because I had a few thing I had to wrap up before I started the tour.

I had lunch with Mel, my assistant/agent/the best friend I made while out here in LA. We began to talk about the tour.

"I had no idea that Big Time Rush was that old, I seriously thought they were like 15 and 16 years old."

"No Pey, they are your age, 23 and 24."
"And they are very easy on the eyes, let me tell ya. This tour might be a little more fun then even I thought."

"You bad girl." She said taking a bite of her food as we both started to laugh.

"Especialy that tall dark-haired one. I don't remember their names."

"Oh James?"

I shrugged "I guess."

"Yeah sorry to break your heart girly but that one has a girlfriend.

"Oh darn."

We both began to laugh even harder knowing that I was joking.

I laid in bed that night just thinking about how much my life has changed in less than two years...

Flashback

My name is Peyton. I am a 22-year-old girl from a small town in Maryland. I work at a nursing home where I have been for the last four years. I love my job and intend to do it for years to

I went on my lunch break and had a missed call from my cousin Heather. I call her back.

"Hey whats up? I saw that you called." I said when she answered.

"Oh yeah I was just calling to say hey and to tell you that I did something that you may not like." she answered.

"OK. And what might that be?"

"I entered your name in this thing to be an extra in a movie."

I was a little confused, "Why?"

"I dont know. I needed to fill out this survey and then that came up so I put your name in."

I have never wanted to act or anything like that. It wasnt something I had ever thought about. Not that I ever thought about it at all it just never crossed my mind. But then again I wouldn't have been chosen and even if I was I would not do it. "Oh whatever it's not like I would ever do anything like that." We both laughed about it and went on to another subject.

A few weeks later I was babysitting for the neighbors when my phone rang and it was a number I didn't know so I let it go straight to voice mail. When I don't know a number I wont answer it. I listened to the voice mail and it was an agency asking if I would like to audition for a role in an upcoming movie that was going to be featuring Steve Carell. They gave me a number to call if I were interested. I saved the message and then went on about my night. I ended up seeing my cousin a few days later and her and I talked about the message I had received.

"Call them back Pey, just see what they have to say."

"No Heather. I have no wish to call them back or to do any of that. I have never wanted to do anything like that ever."

"Oh come on just call them."

"No."

"Then I will."

She snatched my phone. "Heather, why? If I don't want to do it then why call. Just to waste their time and mine?"

"How long is it going to take? Seriously Peyton, it can't hurt to just call. It's not like you're doing anything now anyway."

She was right. What is the big deal? It's not like I would do it anyway.

"Fine."

We call the number back and I have it on speaker phone so Heather can hear as well. The women on the phone basically said that they saw my profile and they liked my look and wanted me to go out to California and audition for a few roles through their agency. They said that everything would be paid for and that I had nothing to worry about. They would fly me and one other person there and put us in a room. They would also pay me for the work I would miss if I chose to go out there. I told the very kind woman that I would get back to her as soon as I talked thing over with my family if that was OK with her. She said for me to take the time I needed.

When we hung up I immediately said "NO! I'm not missing work and going out to California to audition for something that I don't want to do. I have never had any experience, I don't think I would even be picked for anything because of my lack of experience. So no I'm not wasting my time. Nope not doing it."

My cousin looked like her dreams had just been crushed. Why didn't she do it then.

"Peyton, come on. What if they do pick you and you become this huge famous superstar. You will never know if you don't do this. What can it hurt. You get to see California. You have always wanted to go there, You get a free trip."

She got me there. It would be nice to see California. I have always wanted to go there.

"I dont know Heather. I'll talk to my mom. She is always a good one to talk to in situations like this."

I had talked to my mom about it and after hours and hours of talking it over with her and my dad I decided that maybe this would be a great experience for me. So I called the nice women back and told her that I had decided to come to California. She set everything up and my mother and I were set to leave the following week.

While on the plan my mother and I made a deal. "One week here and if nothing comes out of it then so be it, we will go back home and go on with our lives but if something does come from it then we will deal with it then" We shook on it and waited to land in California. Once we were there, we found that the agency had sent someone for us. We got to our hotel and got situated and went on to the agency to talk to them there.

When we got there they told us that I would be doing three different auditions that day, the next day two, Tuesday one, three again on Thursday, one on Friday, and another on Saturday and then my mother and I would be heading home after that.

The next few days flew by. I did the auditions the best I could. A few people said they would call me, others said to get in contact with acting coaches and others told me flat-out NO. I didn't take it hard or anything. I was not surprised at all. When Saturday night came, my mother and I were packing our stuff. We talked about how fun it was to be here in California and she asked if I was upset because no one had called yet. I told her I was fine and I was because I honestly did not expect anything else really. Like I said I had never done anything like this. I was beginning to think how ready I was to get back to Maryland and home to my family when my phone rang. It was the agency telling me that paramount was ready to do a new hit show on Nickelodeon and they were interested in me as the supporting role. I was thrilled. A little more than I thought I would be. She told me to be there in the morning to talk with them about everything.

When I got there I was a big ball of nerves. I went in with my head high and confident. They took me into the office and we began. They said that they saw my audition tape and they wanted me for the part. All I had to do was read over the script and see what I thought. I loved it and was ready. They told me what I needed to do before the taping started. Oh my goodness gracious, there was way too much stuff. A lawyer, an agent, a PR person and a hell of a lot more.

A few days had passed I had my lawyer and they gave me my contract. Once it was read by me, my mom and my lawyer I signed on the dotted line. They told me that filming would begin in two months and I had that time to get a place to live, find whatever else I needed to. They also told me that I could go home and get all my things together there. When I got back to the hotel with my mom it hit me and it hit me hard. Everything just changed in a matter of minutes. I wasnt going home to Maryland I was home, in California. My mother would have to leave me soon. I have two younger sisters she has to take care of. I was excited though I really was. Maybe this was my calling but I just never listed to it. I don't know but it sure as hell was going to be one cool ride to be on. Look out world here I come.
