Hey everyone! This is my first fan fiction so please go easy on me. I'm sorry if this sucks, I just made this on my iPod. Actually, I write all my stories on my iPod, just to make sure my sister won't read them and make fun of them. HAHAHA. ENJOY!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BIG TIME RUSH OR ANY OF ITS AWESOME CHARACTERS.
Chapter 1 James POV
"And now, please put your hands together for Big Time Rush!"
"5,4,3,2,1, and go!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh. Make it count, play it straight..."
"Phew, that was tiring but that was the best time ever! Whoo!" Carlos yelled as we went back to our dressing room. We just finished our first ever major concert and it was just pure awesome.
"I hope this will happen again very soon. I can get used to this kind of rockstar life," I said.
"Yeah, me too," Kendall and Logan replied.
"Hey, great job you guys," Kendall told the band. We don't actually play the instruments, we just sing, so Gustavo got a band to play them. They're technically part of Big Time Rush and we spend most of the time with them. Oh, and they're also siblings.
"Awesome work you did out there, Payton!" Kendall told the drummer. "You too, Henry," he said to the bassist. "And you, as usual, did the best guitar-playing ever!" he told Adrien. She's the only girl in the band, and the only one our age so we're closer to her than to the others. The guys all love her, well, not love love. Just love, as in love as a friend. I hope.
"Well, great people hang out with great people don't they?" she said as she put the guitar strapped to her neck to her back. "Well, mostly great people." She looked sideways to me. I just rolled my eyes.
"Whatever Adrien," I said. I started to walk towards the bathroom to fix my hair.
"Let me guess, you'll go fix you hair, right?" she asked with a smirk.
Am I that predictable? "No," I lied. "I was going to pee. Normal people have to pee you know."
"Okay, if you say so," she said. She put her short, straight, black hair in a ponytail and removed her vest. She was wearing a normal plain blue, v-neck shirt and black skinny jeans paired with white sneakers, very different from other girls our age here in Hollywood.
I stuck out my tongue. She did the same. She was so annoying! Why did she have to be gorgeous? Our hate hate relationship would be easier if she were ugly and untalented. Ugh.
When I got out, they were already piling inside the band's van. "What took you so long?" Logan asked me as I stepped inside.
"This perfect hair doesn't blow dry itself you know," I said matter-of-factly.
"Right. Well, just hurry! Adrien's sleeping already," he said.
"Psh, so just let her sleep. She doesn't care about me, so I don't care about her." I sat beside Kendall, facing the sleeping she-dragon.
"Hey, I heard that," she said. Then she went back to sleep. I had to admit, she was so good at sleeping while sitting down. She just crossed her arms, tilted her head to the right, then bam, she'd be asleep.
She also looked beautiful while sleeping. Her face looked serene, with her long, thick eyelashes, straight nose and full lips. Her sleeping was extremely different from her usual attitude towards me. Totally different. She's one of those people who would be nice only when they're sleeping.
I just made a face and looked out the window. Why does she hate me so much, I had to wonder. Ever since my friends and I became Big Time Rush, which was the time she started playing the guitar for our songs, which was over a year ago, she automatically hated me. I guess it's just because we have nothing in common. She couldn't care less about her appearance while I need to check the mirror every 30 seconds. She doesn't care about her clothes while I'd change 5-7 times before deciding on which shirt to wear. Well, she'd still look stunning even of she doesn't care much about her looks.
Chapter 2 Adrien POV
"I'm beat," I said as I slumped down on the sofa in the Palm Woods apartment I share with my older sister.
"You had a great show tonight, Adrien. You did awesome!" she said. She was just 20 years old, just 4 years older than me, so we almost have the same interests, except that she's girly and I'm not even close. I love being a girl but I don't want to be girly and wear dresses and pink stuff. I'm a t-shirt and jeans type of girl.
"Thanks. I had a lot of fun. It's just what I love doing. I would never want this to change." I sighed.
The next thing I knew, I was already dreaming. My mom was in the hospital and my dad was beside her, crying. She looked so pale and sick that I couldn't even tell if she was alive or dead. She was telling me something but I couldn't understand. It was so vague in my dream. Then there came a few knocks from the door. It was James. He was holding a hairbrush and a hairdryer. Okay...
Then I woke up. "Weird dream." I rubbed my temples and removed the ponytail holder from my hair. I was worried about my dream because my dreams usually came true. Not about the James part (I already know he'd be holding those kind of stuff), but about my mom being in the hospital. As far as I know, she was healthy.
I got out of the sofa I slept in. I was too tired to go to my room last night which is why I slept in the sofa. I took a bath, changed into a black graphic shirt, gray skinny jeans and black Chuck Taylors. I put on my favorite accessory, sunglasses, and headed over to Rocque Records. The band was recording another song for their album.
I first went to the guys', and by guys', I meant the singers', apartment, which was on the same floor as ours, like I always do. Henry and Payton have their own business every morning because they had their own band. Big Time Rush was only one of their other band gigs.
I knocked on the door 4 times. Katie, Kendall's little sister, opened it. "Hey Adrien!" she greeted.
"Hey Katie!" I said with a smile. "So how's your new business doing?" I whispered.
"It's doing great," she said. "Remember to keep it a secret," she said, her lips pressed together.
"Ma'am yes ma'am," I said, adding a salute.
"This is why I really like you Adrien." She grinned.
I went inside and waited for the guys on the sofa. "Good morning Mrs. Knight." I said as I went inside.
"Oh hi Adrien. Great concert by the way," she said. She gave me 2 thumbs up.
"Thanks," I said with a smile.
The guys came out of their rooms. "Hey Adrien," Logan, Carlos and Kendall said groggily.
"Hey," I said.
James looked at me and stuck out his tongue, and I did he same. This was our usual greeting whenever we met.
"So, why the long faces?" I asked them.
"We slept at about 5 in the morning. What time is it, 8 am?" Kendall asked.
"8:37 to be exact," Logan answered. They all sighed in unison.
"Come on guys, you have to be ready. We have a song to record."
"Yeah, we'll be ready in a few," Carlos said. They started eating breakfast like a bunch of snails.
"Ready in a few what, centuries?" I asked with a smirk. "Eat faster if you don't want Gustavo to make you have 5x the vocal training again." I sang the harsh vocal exercises they were made to do that one unfortunate day when they were and hour late. Those drills were so painfully high and long.
Carlos, Kendall, James, Logan, Katie and Mrs. Knight all looked at me with eyes wide.
"Oh no, not that," Carlos said with alarm. They quickly ate and finished within minutes. They changed into casual clothes, Kendall in a white shirt, denim jeans and black sneakers; Logan in a blue plaid polo and black jeans paired with black sneakers; James in a red vintage shirt, black jeans, black Chuck Taylors and his stupid bandana; and Carlos in an orange shirt, dark denim jeans, white sneakers, and of course, his helmet.
"Let's go," Kendall said with a smile.
When we got to the recording studio, my other bandmates were already there. "Hey," I said, smiling. I bumped my fist to theirs, like we always did.
"So, because of the success of the show last night, I've decided to push through with the national tour!" Gustavo exclaimed.
"What? Wow!" we all yelled. This was great!" This means daily concerts! I can't wait!
"But now, we have to record a song for your album. Come on, show me what you got."
We practiced for a just a few minutes because we already knew this song. It was beautiful. The song was about unrequited love, and it was unlike their other songs. This one was very soulful and emotional. I wonder who wrote it.
"Great job dogs!" Gustavo said with a smile. "Now let's record it and do it perfectly or else," he said, quickly changing his expression to his usual I'm-gonna-kick-your-butts-back-
to-where-you-came-from look.
"You can count on that, right guys?" Kendall motioned towards the band.
"Of course," they replied.
"Okay, no more chit chat, just do it," Gustavo snapped.
"Okay," Carlos replied.
I started playing the guitar intro which consisted of both plucking and strumming. It was a bit complex but it was beautiful. I closed my eyes as I went through the intro and when I heard the guys' voices, I couldn't help but smile. Their voices were amazing and they fit perfectly with the song.
Then James started singing the chorus. "We're standing here, just me and you, but why can't you see?
Open up your eyes and you'll feel what is in this hidden heart of mine
Why can't you see that what I feel for you is so much stronger than I ever knew
What I feel is love, oh oh, love, oh oh... "
"Awesome work dogs," Gustavo said as we finished he song. "But I feel something lacking." He opened the door to the recording room and put his hand under his chin. Kelly, as usual, was behind him holding a clipboard and a pen.
"Hmmmm..."
Chapter 3 James POV
"What's lacking?" I asked Gustavo. This man had more complaints than a old lady with back cramps.
"I think it'd be better if this was done with a female voice, so it kind of shows different feelings from the different sides, both the girl and the boy," he said with exaggerated gestures.
"But who'd sing the girl's part?" Logan asked.
I know a girl who can sing in here. That she-dragon over there can, I thought. I actually heard her sing accidentally. She was waiting in the living room, watching MTV and she sang along, thinking that nobody was there.
"You there, can you sing?" Gustavo asked Adrien.
"Me?" she asked nervously.
"Duh, of course you," Gustavo said, rolling his eyes.
"Well, um," she stammered. "I'm not that good," she said.
"Are you kidding me?" Payton and Henry said, shocked.
"What?" she asked innocently.
"You sing in band practices all the time. You even made a few songs, I remember," Payton said.
"Yeah, you even add you own harmonies to their songs," Henry said.
"Yeah, but I'm not that good," she said, her wide eyes even wider.
"Yeah right." It was my turn to add some more information. "I heard you one time, and honestly..." I looked at her straight in the eyes, "...you were great," I said sincerely.
"Uh, thanks?" she asked, surprised. Even I was surprised by my comment. Everybody else was, too.
"Okay then, it's settled," Gustavo said with what looked like a smile. "What's your name again?"
"Adrien!" we all yelled, including Kelly.
"Right, Adrien. You'll sing with them on this track. Or better yet even in all the other tracks," he said with a gleam in his eye.
"What?" she exclaimed.
"Yes! You're officially in the band!" Carlos, Kendall and Logan yelled, pulling her and me into a big group hug.
"Wow, that was sudden," she said after the hugging.
"You think?" I said in a sarcastic tone.
She stuck out her tongue. "So um, what now?"
"Show me what you got," Gustavo told her. "Add the soprano harmonies to the song. NOW!" he yelled.
"Okay," she said.
"Run it again!" Gustavo yelled as he went out of the recording room and went over to the controls.
I heard Kelly ask Gustavo, "Are you sure about this? You've never done a mixed band before, it's always been boy bands."
"Let's just wait and see," he said.
She started playing the intro again and I still get goosebumps. It's just so freaking beautiful!
We started singing the first verse and she would occasionally add a few harmonies here and there. I knew her voice was beautiful but I didn't think t was this amazing! I wonder how she can sing while playing the guitar. The only multitasking I do is brushing my hair while blowdrying it. But I'm cool with that.
"Awesome!" Gustavo yelled through the mic. "I told you Kelly, I'm sure about this."
"Okay, if you say so," Kelly replied as she wrote something on her clipboard.
"Oh, by the way, the tour starts next month," Gustavo told us.
"What? That's like, a 3 weeks from now!" Kelly exclaimed.
"Yeah, and that is what I say, so stop whining!" he replied. Kelly just continued writing. "So, you will have daily singing and dancing practices, including you," he said, pointing to Adrien. "Now, scoot!"
I apologize if it was too short or something. So, tell me what you think! If you had fun or if it bored your eyes out, just tell me. Please review! I'd really appreciate your comments. Thanks!
Peace and Rock&Roll, chonde.
