Hey, so let's give this fan fic thing a go. I obviously don't own BTR, and this is all made up. So leave your reviews and shizzle. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Chapter 1:

The boys removed their headphones and stared at their music producer hopelessly awaiting a compliment that they knew was never going to come.
"Print it!" screamed the producer! The boys looked at each other, not wanting to believe the positive tone in his voice. Seconds later they began to cheer as they filed out of the recording booth door.

"Gustavo, you really liked that?" questioned the tallest of the boy band members.

"Well James. After spending the last year with you, I've come to the conclusion that you dogs aren't completely terrible."

"I suppose that's the best we'll get out of him." mumbled the blonde to a shorter brunette boy on his left.

"And that is Big Time Rush's second album ready for it's release next Monday."

"And we're ready for the launch party on Friday!"

"And we all know what party's mean." The four boys looked at each other, each knowing what the others were thinking. Girls. The boys then began to day dream thinking about their ideal party situations.

"So how'd the last song on the...what are the guys still doing here?" asked Kelly Wainwright as she entered into the mixing studio. "Are they okay?" she gestured to the four boys who were standing gaping into nothingness all with their mouths open. Gustavo had returned to sliding controls and pressing buttons minutes before and lifted his head to glance at the boys.

"Oh, they mentioned something about the launch party, then I lost interest." he then directed his attention back to his work. Kelly walked over to the singing teens and clapped her hands. The boys blinked in unison and seemed to snap out of their trance.

"Guys, I just got off the phone with your teacher and she's said that if you don't finish your projects by Wednesday there'll be no launch party."

"What?" screamed the boys in harmony. Kelly nodded and the four boys pushed past her and left the studio.

"Come on Logan, help us!" pleaded the helmet wearing latino. Logan shook his head.

"No Carlos, I spent weeks on mine and as usual you guys leave it to the last minute and expect me to bail you out. But not this time." Logan stormed out of the apartment in anger leaving a very shocked Latino behind. Logan reached the elevators and impatiently kept prodding the 'down' button. Logan was so angry. There were times he didn't understand his friends at all. He swore they just used him for his smarts. What is taking this elevator so long?

Every school project was the same, back in Minnesota, when Logan first started school he didn't know anyone. He was quickly branded with the 'geek' status and didn't have any friends. That was until Kendall Knight and his two best friends approached him one day in the cafeteria.

"Hey, you look like you can use some friends." the blonde hockey player suggested. Logan avoided looking up from his lunch tray. "Something wrong?" Logan couldn't avoid it any longer, he built up all his strength and looked up at the three boys. He knew what was coming, it had been the same at his old school, boys would come up to him, pretending to be nice and wanting to be friends, but really they just wanted to beat the shit out of the school's nerd. He had finally lost faith in people's good intentions. Logan gave a forced shake of the head to the leader of the group. "Will it be alright if we sit with you?" he asked. Logan gestured for them to sit down and the boys followed Kendall's lead.

"Do you actually speak?" James asked. It was clear to Logan what kind of person James was, the pretty boy. Girls lining up to date him left, right and centre, but James would only use them for one thing, sex. Logan nodded at his reply, then realised he wasn't actually proving anything so opened his mouth and let out a small croak that sounded like a 'yes'.

"My name's Carlos, this is James and this is..."

"Kendall, I know. We have phys ed together. You were the hockey captain, you chose that Jenny girl over me." Logan sadly pointed out.

"Don't take offence buddy, Kendall's horrible to his team mates, always knocking them against the boards to show what he's got."

"That's Kendall, always has to be the centre of attention when it comes it hockey. He probably did you a favour by not picking you." sympathised Carlos. Logan had a hard time trying to find a smile at that attempt at reinsuring him.

"And besides, I didn't know how good a player you were until yesterday. Not everyone can tackle James and avoid Carlos one after another." smiled the blonde. They chatted for the rest of lunch and Logan actually enjoyed himself. But he tried not to get his hopes up, because this was exactly how it had happened before.
A week past, and every lunch, Carlos, James, Kendall and Logan sat with each other, talking about hockey and trying to get to know Logan better.

"So how come you moved to Minnesota?" Kendall asked Logan Friday lunch time.

"My mum's a real estate agent and she found there's more houses to sell here then where we used to live."

"Do you like it here?"

"It's okay, I didn't really have anything to miss back where I used to live, so it doesn't really affect me."

"Did you not have any friends?" asked a concerned Carlos, but Logan just shook his head. The three hockey players looked at each other with a look of disappointment. The bell rang and Logan jumped out of his seat.

"I've got to get to calculus. I'll see you later." and Logan left before the boys could even say goodbye.
Logan reached his locker and twirled the dial. 22. 08. 22. He released the catch and the door swung open. He retrieved his calculus book and slammed the locker shut. He jumped as he noticed the large tall boy standing who had been concealed by the open locker. Logan avoided eye contact with the boy and hastily tried to retreat. However the boy reached out one of his logs that would, on a normal person, have been an arm.

"Where'd you think you're going nerd?" Logan attempted to escape again. "Hey, I asked you a question." Logan gulped.

"C-c-calculus." the stocked boy laughed.

"I don't think so." The large boy pulled back his fist and propelled it towards the smaller boys stomach where it came in contact with Logan's organs causing him to keel over. Logan dropped to the floor, gasping for oxygen. The bully then raised his right leg about to kick the injured nerd when he was suddenly pushed into the lockers behind him. Logan had closed his eyes in an attempt to make the future impact seem less painful, but when that sheer force didn't come, he carefully opened his eyes to see what was going on. For a second, Logan wasn't sure whether what he was seeing was real or an hallucination from the lack of oxygen accessing his brain. The bully was on the floor and three boys were surrounding him, kicking and punching. When the figures came into focus, Logan recognised them as Kendall, Carlos and James. Kendall directed his attention at the innocent and quickly bent down to his side.

"Are you okay?" he asked worryingly.

"Yeah." coughed Logan trying to get to his feet. Kendall put an arm around him and helped him stand up straight, taking half of Logan's weight. "Why did you help me?"

"Wow, he must have knocked a lot of oxygen out of you. You're our friend Logan, we're not going to let anyone beat you up." he smiled. Logan paused for a moment, trying to locate the sarcasm and lie that was surely hidden within Kendall's face. But Logan was forced to accept that there wasn't any, and perhaps these people, he had met only a week ago, were actually his friends.

Ding. The door to the elevator slowly opened and Logan stepped into the lobby. The slow movement of the elevator had given Logan time to calm down and think about how he had met his best friends. Whenever Logan felt his friends just used him, he thought back to that day, add that to everything they've been through since and there was no way he was just being used for his intelligence. Logan scanned the lobby and saw Kendall sat on one of the sofas bending over the small coffee table. Any rage Logan had had before, magically disappeared as soon as his eyes laid their vision on the taller blonde member of the band. Logan strolled up to the other boy, and was surprised to see Kendall was studying! He slumped down into the sofa opposite Kendall and waited for the boy to look up. It took a couple of minutes for Kendall to register Logan's presence.

"Logan. When did you get here?" he asked curiously.

"About five minutes ago," he smiled. "It's funny how studying can take you completely out of a situation sometimes isn't it? That's why I enjoy it so much. No matter how hard life gets, I know I can disappear into a book or project." Kendall smiled at him, he had never really understood why Logan liked to study so much, but now he kind of had an insight into the way the brunette's mind worked. "You don't know how happy it makes me seeing you actually do your project."

"Yeah? How come?"

"Well, normally you're like Carlos and James and leave it to the last minute and ask me to do most of it. That's exactly what happened with Carlos a couple of minutes ago. I was so angry."

"It's not fair of us to do that to you Logan. Besides, I really wanna go to the launch party. And I'm actually kind of enjoying this." at those last words, Logan stood up.

"Then I won't distract you any longer." and he began to walk off back to the elevators. He stopped when he was out of Kendall's sight and looked at the back of his head. "Hey, Kendall?" he called. Kendall swivelled around and looked at the boy smiling back at him. "Thank you."

"What for?"

"Being my friend." Kendall smiled back and watched as Logan walked over to the elevators, pressed the button and, once the metallic silver doors opened, disappeared from his sight.
