So without further or due(do? Heh doo-doo. yes I'm immature deal with it :D), here is chapter one of Gone To Soon: Happy Birthday.
Gone to Soon
Hey there now In a blink of an eye Like a shooting star You were always there Oh I miss you now In a blink of an eye Like a shooting star Shine on! Shine on! Like a shooting star Shine on! Shine on!
Where'd you go
You left me here so unexpected
You changed my life
I hope you know
cause now I'm lost
So unprotected
I never got to say goodbye
Flyin' across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be
The same here without you
You were gone too soon
and like shining light
on my darkest days
you were there to guide me
I wish you could see
Just how much your memory
Will always mean to me
I never got to say goodbye
Flyin' across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be
The same here without you
You were gone too soon
To a better place
Shine on! Shine on!
Will never be the same
Flyin' across the room
So fast so far
You were gone too soon
You're part of me
And I'll never be
The same here without you
You were gone too soon
You were gone too soon
Shine on! Shine on!
You were gone too soon
Shine on! Shine on!
You were gone too soon
Chapter 1: Happy Birthday
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Dear Katie, happy birthday to you.
(Katie POV)
"Katie get up!" My oh-so-kind brother yelled as he launched himself onto my bed.
"Go away Kendall," I murmured rolling over.
"Well, I guess you don't want me to take you out for a special birthday breakfast." He pouted, still on top of me.
I smiled, leave it to Kendall to plan out my birthday from the minute I woke up, or the minute he woke me up. "Why couldn't you have waited until I woke up?"
"Some ones a moody elven year old!" Kendall said his hands on my shoulders.
"Go away," I told him rolling flat onto my back.
"Go away," He mimicked.
"MOOOOM! Kendall's bothering me!" I sat up and pushed him away, yelling for my mom.
But was it my mom who came in the room next? NO! "Your mom isn't home; she and Carlos went out shopping." James told me, making no effort to get my brother off of me.
I rolled my eyes. "Fine where's Logan?" He was the next most mature, maybe he would help me.
"Lobby, looking for Camille."
Not helpful!
"So," Kendall smiled. "It's our job to take you out to breakfast."
I groaned. "Get oooooutah!" I put extra emphasis on the t.
"You have ten minutes to get ready before I come in here and attack you again." Kendall pushed himself off my bed. "That goes for you too James."
After the guys left, I pushed back the covers and found some clothes to put on. I knew for a fact that Kendall wasn't kidding about coming back in to attack me, even if I was standing, he would still jump on top of me. I combed out my hair, turned off the lights then left.
Kendall was sitting on the counter twirling his car keys.
"Where's James?"
He threw the keys in the air and caught them. After repeating this process three more times, he finally spoke. "Bathroom."
I sighed; the apartment seemed so empty with just me, Kendall and James. I guess Carlos and Logan have a pretty big impact on the randomness in 2J.
Finally, James came out of the bathroom, smelling like man-spray and hairspray. Not an unusual smell for him.
After shooting James a dirty look, Kendall slid off the counter. "Y'all ready?" He started to leave, James followed him and I trailed behind.
"When did he become country?" I muttered.
I slid into the back of the BTR Mobile and laid my head on the window. This isn't exactly how I wanted my birthday to start off.
James turned on the radio as Kendall began to drive. We passed our usual breakfast restaurant, and I looked up at the two boys in the front seat. "Where are we going?"
James and Kendall shared a look. "You'll seeeee," My brother sang.
A half hour later we pulled up in front of a small building. It was short, rectangular and painted a nice shade of blue. "Where are weeeee?"
Kendall just got out of the car, opened my door and pulled me out. "You don't remember this place?"
"Should I?" I asked him curiously.
"Yes!" James yelled. He started to walk towards the doors. I padded after him, stopping just before the tall double doors, which were stained a deep red. "Are you sure you don't remember this place?"
I bopped my head up and down; I hadn't ever been here before.
Someone put his hands on my shoulder. "Maybe this will jog you're memory."
I spun around. "Logan!"
He gave me a hug and whispered in my ear, "Happy birthday Katie."
I grinned. "What was going to make me remember?"
Logan gave a mischievous grin. "Oh no! My uvula is,"
"Stuck between these aardvark's pink finger nails!" We finished together.
"This is the place?"
They all nodded. "This is the place."
Kendall smiled and pushed open the door.
"SURPRISE!" Came from what seemed to be fifty different voices blended into one.
I grinned and surveyed the crowd. Carlos, my mom, Jo, Camille, Stephanie, Guitar Dude, Bitters, Gustavo, Kelly, Lucy, The Jennifer's, Tyler, and even Jett, and many, many more stood in front of me.
The wait staff of the restaurant didn't look too pleased to be hosting a party for so many people but nonetheless didn't complain. I figured Gustavo's money had something to do with that. Against the far wall there were buffet tables set up, stacked high with pancakes, waffles, eggs, cereals, cinnamon rolls, and other pastries.
Purple, blue, and green streamers decorated the ceiling while balloons were tied down in the corners, but also floated around the room. Balloons that weren't filled with helium littered the floor. Two bubble machines in opposite corners of the room blew huge bubbles into the center. All of the tables had been stacked against the side of the room chairs were pushed to make more room at tables and music was blaring. Confetti also dusted the floor, the managers would have fun cleaning all that up! A table stacked with colorfully wrapped presents was in the corner, people were eating, dancing and just having a good time already.
I grinned even bigger and gave each of my brothers a hug. "Thank you."
Kendall grinned and put his hands on my shoulders, giving them a small squeeze. "Anything for my baby sister."
"Now," Carlos said. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go talk to The Jennifer's!" With that he ran off.
"He knows he has no chance with them, right?" I asked, watching as Carlos weaved his way in between the massive crowd.
"He might!" James pointed to Carlos who was now dancing with curly-haired Jennifer.
Kendall's face lit up. "Way to go buddy!"
I laughed.
This was a little much for turning 11; I wondered what they would do for my 16th birthday.
"So Katie," Kendall squeezed my shoulders. "You ready to party?"
I nodded. Let the fun begin!

(Katie POV)
I sighed contently and leaned back against my pillows later that night. It was so peaceful in here, the party had been fun, but it was exhausting and loud, and now all I wanted to do was fall asleep.
I pulled the covers up to my chin and grabbed my stuffed lamb, laying my head on the pillow I stared into the darkness. No longer able to keep my eyes open any longer, I fell asleep.
At around two in the morning, I heard my door creak open. I buried myself farther under the covers as a tall man crept into the room. "Katie." It whispered.
I whimpered, shrinking back father into the pillows.
"Katie." It said again.
I let out another whimper.
The figure suddenly moved, and in two long strides made it across the room and flicked on the lights.
I squinted across the room as the man shut the door. "Whoever you are, you're scarring me!" My lower lip quivered and my voice shook but I paid no attention to that.
The man turned around, black beanie pulled over his eyes; he looked to be in black sweat pants and a grey under shirt. "God it's bright in here!"
I took a deep breath, and on the count of three, I jumped out of bed and briskly ripped the black beanie off the strangers head. Sharp green eyes stared me straight in the eye. I gasped chucked the cloth hat at the man as hard as I could and dove onto my bed.
"KENDALL!" I shrieked at the top of my lungs, making the man cover his ears. "COME HERE!"
"Katie shut up!" He yelled.
I buried myself back under the covers, hiding my face.
The covers were whipped back off of my body, causing a chill up my spine.
I rolled over. "GET AWAY!" I started to kick the air viciously.
"Katie, Katie!" Someone said gently, shaking me.
"Get away!" I yelled again.
"It's just me!"
I opened my eyes to see Kendall standing next to my bed shaking me gently.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked squirming to sit up in my bed. While I was at the party, Mom had hired people to redo my bedroom. The walls were still purple; the couch had been replaced by white fluffy moon chairs. My bed is now a full sized with a white duvet, with purple zebra stripes. There were so many pillows, white, purple, a few light blue to match the other throw pillows on the chairs. Some were fluffy, others were long and then there were the pillows you actually slept on. Also, there is a crystal chandelier above my bed and the rest of the furniture was white with purple accents.
"I heard you screaming." Kendall pushed some of my hair off my forehead. "Are you okay?"
"I had a bad dream." I admitted, grabbing the stuffed lamb and holding it close to me.
Kendall sat on the edge of my bed, and then turned to face me. "What about?"
"Daddy." I whispered.
My brother just looked at me.
"Stop staring at me!"
Kendall grinned; then began to sing, lifting me out of my bed so I could dance with him.
"She says don't stare at me She looks through magazines Then she falls asleep with just my t-shirt on You can't hide Beautiful She can take a simple dress And the way she thinks sometimes A little piece of heaven god gave to this world You can't hide Beautiful
She's afraid that I might see
Those 5 extra pounds she talks about
I don't know what she's talking about
With every page she dreams of
Looking like somebody else
I wish she wasn't so hard on herself
But even when her hair's messed up and her make-up's gone
You can't hide wonderful
There's nothing that she has to do
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can't hide beautiful
Put it on and turn some heads
Every time she moves she gets me
She doesn't even know she's pretty
Out of nowhere blows my mind
She makes me laugh and makes me dream
I love the way she looks at things
She might think she's just an ordinary girl
You can't hide wonderful
There's nothing that she has to do
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can't hide beautiful
He twirled me around one last time before gently tossing me on the bed. "You can't hide beautiful!" Then he gave me a kiss on the forehead.
"Thanks for coming in, Kendall." I told him twisting the edge of my blankets.
"Anytime baby sister." He smiled and pulled the blankets up to my chin again. "Are you okay sleeping in here by yourself?"
I nodded. "I think so."
"You sure?"
"Yes Kendall!" I gave him a small push. "I'm fine!"
He gave me a sly smile. "Okay." He headed to the door. "You know where to find me."
I bopped my head up and down, then slid down resting my head on my pillow as he turned the lights off. "Love you Kendall."
"Love you too baby sister." Kendall almost seemed reluctant to leave. I thought back to the night where I had almost jumped out of my window. That song he sang to me. How did it go? "She don't know how much I need her, she don't know I'd fall apart, without her kiss, without her faithful loving arms." Had he really meant that? I sighed once again and closed my eyes. I would talk to him in the morning.
