"Just remember that we love you and we won't ever be the 'The Crew' without you!" My best friend Rachelle cries into my shoulder. Today was the day I am moving to the Palmwoods hotel in California. Moving from New York is going to be hard. I love the cold weather and playing in the snow is one of my favorite things to do and what I look foward to all year long. I hate the hot weather so of course I gave my reasons for not moving to L.A. My older sister Elena had landed a job as an actor in a new show "Kiki and Jackie". It was her life long dream to become a famous actress and when she was given the opportunity she took it. She hasn't stopped rubbing it in my face that I didn't get chosen by Gustavo Roque to become a singer which is my dream. Ugh... Don't even remind me! Anyways, so now were moving in the middle of April to start her acting career in May. My parents, of course, did not give into my feelings so I gave up the fight. Though we did compromise on something. My parents took me to California on my February break, so we didn't miss any holidays, to meet some of the kids in the Palmwoods that way I knew some of the kids there and could make friends. We also moved in some of our apartment which happens to be one of the biggest ones, next to a group of boys that I only saw and didn't get to meet. With the information I gathered from two nice girls named Lucy and Camille who happened to be dating them, they were a new band called Big Time Rush and were picked to become a band by Gustavo Roque. The name made me cringe but it is what it is and I hopefully will have another chance soon.
"I'll video chat, facetime, text, or call whenever you want, if you start to miss us!" Another one of my best friends Maya chimed in.
I stare into seven sets of watery eyes as I try to find my voice. Those eyes held so many memories and inside jokes that I start to tear up. "I'm gonna miss you guys so much! But I promised myself that I wouldn't cry because this is not the last time you will hear from me! And my parents said that maybe for my birthday I could come back here and visit!" I try to sound strong. This is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my 18 years on Earth. We call ourselves "The Crew". It all started in first grade when we were all in the same class. Nina, Maya, Jessica, Gianna, Rachelle, Rebecca, Katie and I. We all became instant best friends and have been that way ever since.
"Alright... I can't miss our flight so... See you soon because this isn't goodbye!" We all have one last group hug before I trun around, hop in the car, and start our trek to the airport.
It was probably the longest 48 hours of my life. We had a long flight to L.A., or at least it felt that way. When we arrived at the hotel, we unpacked all of the boxes that night incase no one was home to do it the next day. It was now the late afterfnoon of the second day that we have been here and the whole time I've been video chatting with my friends and babysitting my little brother Frank Joesph. I felt so emotionally exhausted from jet lag and missing my friends that I preferred to stay in today. But the past few hours, my hyper active brother has been bothering me to go to the pool because he was now bored from playing video games all day.
"Frank it's 3:00, can you just suck it up and I promise we can explore tomorrow?" I plead but Frankie is now sitting on my foot with his arms and legs wrapped around my leg like a monkey.
"PLEASE? At least to just get a smoothie and walk around a little? I could really use some fresh air!" My 13 year old brother tries to reason with me.
"Fine but only because I want a smoothie!" I yell as I walk into my room to change into my galaxy print denim shorts and a black cami with black vans. I grab my wallet and keys and trun to leave and see Frankie beaming that he got his way. No surprise... I'm a sucker for his adorable face. We are walking to the elevator when I see Lucy and Camille walking along side Big Time Rush. Let me just say that they are hotand have the cutest smiles ever.
"Hey girlie!" Lucy greets me, followed by Camille and the guys take their time walking over. "How do you like it here?" Lucy smiles warmly as she tries to keep a conversation going.
"I like it so far but I haven't been out much because we've been getting settled in!" I pipe up and sound as happy as possible. Don't get me wrong I know that with school and hanging out that soon we'll be best friends but right now I'm tired and don't feel like talking but I guess I have to right now.
"Well, this is my little brother Frank! Frank, this is Lucy and Camille!" I introduce them and my brother nudges me for calling him little. The boys of Big Time Rush look at me nicely and mumble to the other girls.
"Almost forgot, Valentina and Frank, this is Kendall Knight, James Diamond, Carlos Garcia and Logan Mitchell of Big Time Rush!" We each shake hands and I study each of them. First I look at Kendall. The dimpled blond has many handsome features and reminds me of my ex. The thought makes me shudder and I move on. Anyways he is taken by Lucy. Next is James with longish brown hair and a million dollar smile that I know has panties dropping at every corner. Then there is Carlos. He's the shortest one with cark hair and a cute smile that makes my heart skip a beat. Valentina! Snap out of it! You need to get to know these people and focus on singing and school! Ain't nobody got time for boys! Finally is Logan, a dimpled brunette with yet another adorable face but I know he is too taken but by Camille.
"Well I promised my Frank that we would get smoothies, so you can come if you want but we have to be back home for dinner at 6:00 so we should start to head to the lobby!" I smile as they happily obliged and we all pile onto the elevator.
The after they showed us around a little, introduced us to a few more people and we decided to go to the pool. When I left the bathroom in our apartment, Lucy and Camille started wolf whistling and saying things like "You sexy bitch!" They came to change at my apartment where as all the guys went to 2J to change including Frank. "Shut the fuck up becuase you know that your both skinnier than me!" I say and grab a towel and flip flops.
"No, you have a sexy bod! Seriously, what do you do?" Camile slaps my six pack. I love how they are so nice, friendly and act as though we've known each other forever.
"Well I do dance, cheerleading, hockey and soccer. I also swim and bike when I get free time. While my parents were busy working on my sisters career growing up, I tried out for those sports each season and kept myself busy. I couldn't just sit around and do nothing because at that rate I would still be in diapers." Their mouths are gaped open at the amount of things I do.
"WHOA! Is there anything else you do?" Camille laughed sarcastically.
"Actually my dream is to be a singer." I hang my head at the thought. "I've always wanted to be one but I haven't been focusing on it lately." I shift in my seat. "My parents are always so busy with my sister that I had to train and try out for Gustavo Rocque by myself. Apparently I wasn't good enough and didn't have a powerful enough voice for him. And now I see who he chose." I look out the window and sigh. Then I feel a hand on my knee and turn back to the girls and try to look like it doesn't bother me.
"Look if you want we can talk to the guys and they can help with all the singing stuff. Maybe they can convince Gustavo to listen to you again and then you'll have another chance!" Lucy gives me a hopefully smile.
"No... it's okay! I want earn my title on my own and I don't want any help! Got it?" I give them a look and they slowly nod and let it go.
"Alright! Enough of this sad, sappy stuff, let's go to the pool!" I jump up and swing the door open as the ladies make their way to the door.
The rest of the day was pretty exhausting I have to admit. We played in the pool the whole time having races, playing volleyball, and having splash fights.
"I had good time today! How about you?" I ruffle Frank's hair as I unlock the aparment.
"It was fun! I didn't think that you'd actually make friends! And those guys are really cool! I like them! Their fun and invited me to hang out with them tomorrow after school. I want to be early though because Kendall's little sister Katie is my age and man is she hot!" I laugh at the remark and sling my arm over his shoulder. I have to say we're not like other kids. My friends all want no part in their siblings most of the time but Frank and I do everything with each other. Growing up, I spent the most time with him. I am close with my parents and my sister but Frank is my go-to person all the time.
"Frank! You know, I don't want to know what you think of her because you're too young!" I shout.
"But what about you and Beau? You started dating when you were my age!" I scoff at his argument and drop my stuff at the door.
"Well let's not talk about that okay? I'm gonna take a shower so you wait until I'm done. Then maybe we'll watch a movie or something!" I offer and walk to the bathroom.
Why does he always have to pull the Beau card?
