Apartment 2J. June 12th, 2012. Katie's POV.

Finally, I am 21 years old. Finally, I can move out of the Palm Woods and start making a name for myself, and become more then just "Kendall's little sister". I've always lived in the shadow of Big Time Rush, but now it's over. I talked to my mother about it and she agreed to let me go live on my own, as long as I would keep contact with her and stayed in L.A.

A year or so ago, I got my first modeling contract. Yes, I've always wanted to be a manager, but Carlos was really supportive and he told me that I should do the job. I did my first ever photo shoot, and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Just smile, strike a cute pose and be pretty. Those were Carlos' words, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the memory.

I could also say that Carlos is probably the one I'm going to miss the most, apart from my mother and brother. We were Robin & Hoodie, he came to me for advice and I would go to him. Yes, I did talk a lot to Camille and Lucy, even Jo or Stephanie at some times, but Carlos was the one who understood me. He was my confident. My best friend, in a way. But that doesn't mean that I wasn't going to miss my now 25 year old weird friends that I have learned how to love them. James, Logan, Kendall and Carlos were always there for me, even in the toughest times. Jo came back after three years from filming her movie, and we instantly reconnected, forming a strong friendship with Camille, Lucy and Stephanie. The Jennifers had moved out of the Palm Woods to Bel Air after their first big movie part, and Tyler had left when his mother passed away.

I dropped my bags to the door and looked at my friends that had acted as my family for a long time. They were all here to say goodbye, even Gustavo and Kelly were there. Carlos gave me a sad smile before I walked to him and hugged him tightly.

"Stay Robin." He mumbled.

"Stay Hoodie." I said, pulling away and smiling at him. I sighed and took a step on my left and hugged James.

"Don't forget to call me every single day." He said while pulling away.

"You ain't the boss of me!"

"Whatever. You better call me or I'll call you."

"What if I change my number?" I asked.

"Don't be a smart-ass." He answered. I rolled my eyes and smirked before hugging Logan, who was standing next to James. "Be safe, little Katie."

"I will, little Loggie."

"I'm not that small!" Logan whined.

"Yeah, you are." Lucy replied, mocking Logan's tone. He looked down in embarrassment and mumbled something that sounded like 'whatever', but I ignored it and hugged Kendall.

"Be safe, baby sister. And don't forget that you are not allowed to have a boyfriend until you are thirty. And no babies until you are forty." Kendall said while pulling away, looking at me seriously. I rolled my eyes.

"You're going to be a virgin until you're forty." He added. I glanced at James at his comment, and the pretty boy simply gulped down and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Actually, big brother… Remember when James and I dated?" I asked Kendall, smirking.

"Yeah… Oh my God, don't tell me that! I don't want to know that! I thought I made it clear that you were supposed to be a virgin until you were forty!" He exclaimed, looking at the two of us. The others in the room were looking awkwardly and James and I, and you could feel the awkwardness.

"Don't kill me!" James suddenly yelled, blocking his face with his arms.

"Oh, you're so dead." Kendall said, glaring at James. I laughed at their behavior. I was going to miss that…

Yes, James and I had dated last year for maybe around 4 months. Also, yes he was my first. But I don't care. I'm glad he was my first because I prefer that it was James, someone I had known my whole life then someone I didn't know at all. It was better that way, even though it was kind of weird.

I moved to Gustavo & Kelly, hugging them. When I pulled away, Kelly smiled sweetly at me before hitting Gustavo's arm.

"We're gonna, erm, miss you." Gustavo said. I smiled at him. "I'm gonna miss you guys too."

I moved to the girls and they all hugged me. I giggled and smiled at them. "Girls, I'm going to miss you."

"We're going to miss you too, Katie. Stay a brunette." Jo said, smiling.

"Stay blonde." I said with a chuckle.

"Even though we only talk when the girls go shopping or when you need help for an awesome playlist… I'm gonna miss those talks." Lucy said, hugging me again.

"I'll call you." I said with a smile, hugging back.

"Don't forget to land TONS of modeling jobs so we can see your pretty face on billboards, magazines and pretty much everywhere we go!" Camille exclaimed.

"I'll try." I said with a wink. The girls giggled.

"You better come visit. Or I'll haunt you for the rest of your life." Stephanie said with a smirk. I smirked back. "I think I'll come visit, then."

And finally, I moved to my mother. Her hair was up in a messy bun and some red locks would hand to the side. Her eyes were red and puffy from the crying, even though she would probably deny the whole crying because I'm moving.

"I'm gonna miss you, sweetie…" She whispered, hugging me tightly.

"I'm going to miss you too, Mom. Stay strong, okay?" I said, pulling away and smiling.

"I'll try, baby girl…"

"Group hug around Katie!" Jo suddenly yelled. Everyone laughed before forming a circle around me and hugging me.

"Guys… Too… Much love." I said, my voice muffled because of my face being pressed against what I guessed was Kendall's chest. They mumbled "sorry" and pulled away before I walked to the door and picked up my bags. I smiled one last time before Carlos opened the door for me and I walked out. He closed it behind me after saying one last goodbye and I kissed his cheek, thanking him for always being there for me.

I sighed loudly before making my way to the elevator, and out of the Palm Woods. I threw my bags in the back of my car and took a seat on the driver's side, putting my keys in and starting the car. I made my way out of the parking lot and started driving towards the apartment I had saved for during three years of my life.

New life, here I come.
