Prologue
Katie Knight tried not to judge on appearances. She wasn't immune to it though, her track record spoke for itself; James, Dak, Jett, Beau…almost any guy that was around her brother she thought was good looking. Those feelings usually went away when she figured out that there was something else going on behind a pretty face.
James had a tendency to be pretty vain and narcissistic; he ended up being more of a friend to her, a brother, more than anything else. She saved Dak from a hoard of fan-girls when she was just trying to get his autograph. In her opinion, if you save someone's life they can do whatever they want to pay you back, but you shouldn't ever start dating that person. It would be hero-worship and that's not what she wanted. So there went her potential relationship with him. Then there was Jett Stetson, she wasn't made of stone, he was really good looking. But he treated her brother like crap and no one treated her brother like crap and got away with it. Not where she was concerned.
And last but not least was Beau Lucy's ex-boyfriend. He was probably the best looking guy that had ever been to the PalmWoods and she had said that out loud, too. (Ok, it was partially to make fun of James who held that title proudly, but it was true). Up until she found out that he was a player and was cheating on Lucy when he was saying that he wanted to get back together with her. Each of those potential relationships didn't pan out…not that she was ultimately surprised. If she had tried to go out with any of them, she was sure that Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and James would have put a quick end to it. (Though James constantly teased her about having a crush on him).
Katie wasn't stupid, none of those relationships would have worked because of many reasons. But that didn't stop her from having crushes. More importantly on one of her good friends, Patrick Jackson, now known as Patrick Jackson-McGuire. He was someone that she became friends with easily due to his outgoing personality despite his past. His parents died when he was six, he was taken into foster care by a man that exploited his and his siblings musical talent, creating their band and forcing them to make CD after CD for years. His foster father wasn't around anymore, he and his siblings had been adopted by their music producer and their life was getting better.
But she didn't think that she would ever get dragged into the way that he dealt with his past, rather than talking about it. If she knew what was coming…well, she didn't know what she would have done differently. He was her friend and she was going to help him when she could.
She didn't think that she would fall so deep along the way…
A/N: Eh, short first chapter is short. While Katie/OC is the main pairing, there's also going to be others. Katie is the main-main character of this whole story but like in Memories and Melodies everyone is important. This is my second Katie story after Two Is Better Than One and discontinued Do It All Again. I hope I kept Katie's voice. Oh and there's gonna be a lot of Kendall/Katie brother-sister moments as well as with the other guys as well.
I don't know why, but I always find it kind of difficult to write a story about Katie because throughout the show's run, we didn't really ever get a grasp on what she was like since she was the only one not in the entertainment industry in some way. And she didn't interact with the guys other than to get them out of their mess. IDK, that's just my opinion.
Constructive Criticism is welcome. I'll update again soon.
Cheers,
