Old Friends

by AshBashEspinoza

Alex Ortega was Big Time Rush's best friend back in Minnesota. She may not have been the prettiest flower in the garden, but the boys still loved her. When they left, her life came tumbling down. 3 years later she is in LA trying to forget her past. When the boys try to help her, it only gets worse. But they will never give up. Especially one band member in particular.

1. Chapter 1

All I needed was a fresh start. I had to get away from where it all happened. All I needed to focus on is taking care of Javi and Anna.

I should probably introduce myself. I'm Alex. Well it's actually Alejandra but my sister, Mari, was the only person that called me that. Now that she's gone, I hate that name. I'm 18 years old and I love to sing. Growing up I was very nerdy. I had thick glasses and chunky braces. I was not very popular and was constantly picked on. But through that I had 4 best friends, Carlos, James, Logan and Kendall. They saw me as a nerd on the outside but as their best friend on the inside. We lived in the same neighborhood circle so we were inseparable. I was devastated when they moved away 3 years ago. After they left, my life was a disaster. My parents died in a car crash a week after they left. My sister was 20 at the time and decided to take me and my Javi into her home. Javi was 10 years old when it happened. After that I got rid of my braces and Mari bought me contacts. My inside beauty finally showed on the outside. A year later she got married to Jacob, the coolest guy ever. We were like a big happy family. And when Mari gave birth to Anna 10 months ago, we were complete. But all good things must come to an end eventually. Last month Mari and Jacob died in a car crash just like my parents did. Javi and I were babysitting Anna at the time. I couldn't believe how my life turned from great to terrible. In their will, they gave me all their money and legal guardianship to Anna and Javi. Not a day would go by that I wouldn't think about them. That's why I left Minnesota and moved to LA with Javi and Anna. I got a job as a radio host for a local station. I found a great hotel for us to stay in. Maybe things are starting to look up. But I'll try not to get my hopes up.
