This is my last Big Time Rush Fanfiction, I promise! I just keep coming out with all of the ideas and really want to do them. This one I got from a Christmas movie I just watched on TV. I know nothing is right about this story but I mean, hey! It's a fanfiction!
"You can't be serious!"
"I'm deadly serious, Logan."
Logan Mitchell sighed and ran a hand through his hair, standing in front of his parents. An arranged marriage?! They couldn't be serious, this couldn't be happening.
"Mom. I don't want an arranged marriage!" He exclaimed. Joanna Mitchell sighed, crossing her arms, before looking over at her husband.
"Hortense, this could be amazing for the country and you know that. An arranged marriage could bring our two countries together. Think of the prestige you'll get!" Joanna exclaimed, looking at her son. This could mean everything to their country. Fame, money, prestige. "And Leona is a lovely girl. She'll make a fine wife."
"Mom. I can't marry for this. I barely even know the girl. I've never even met her until you introduced this at my birthday." Logan paced the room, sighing angrily. He didn't want to do this. He didn't want to marry.
"Look, Hortense. Your mother and I were an arranged marriage. . ." His father started.
"Yeah, but you were lucky. You both fell in love with each other. I. . .I want to marry for love, not for money or for the prestige. And I've never met the girl. If I've never met her, then I know I'll never love her." He explained to them. His parents had been lucky. They had been an arranged marriage, but they fell in love. They had time to be with each other and fall in love. Logan wanted that. He wanted the whole love story, not a friendship based on a mutual agreement.
Joanna sighed. "Hortense please. The arrangement has already happened. We can't call it off. The wedding is in three weeks." She said. Logan groaned, before excusing himself and leaving the throne room. He couldn't do this.
"Logan!"
Logan looked up from where he was propped on his bed, staring out the window where the snow continued to fall. A Christmas tree was perched in the corner of his room, he had wanted to decorate it but his parents wouldn't allow it. He had it good. He was a prince in a small country of Jonas, right off of Europe. He was supposed to rule this country one day, and now this was happening.
Carlos Garcia smirked and pushed the door open further. "I know you're in there. Chace said you were hiding. Why, may I ask?" Carlos had grown up with Logan. His father was one of the higher guards in the kingdom, so Carlos had been raised around the kingdom and lived with Logan for as long as they could remember.
Logan sighed. "No one's told you yet?" He asked, sitting up and making room for the other boy. Carlos shook his head and walked over, sitting down on the end of the bed. Logan groaned. "They want me to marry the princess of Varenya, to bring our two countries together."
"So, like an arranged marriage?" Carlos asked, and sighed. "Man that's rough." He leaned back and looked up at the ceiling.
"I don't want to marry for the prestige. I want to marry for love. I can't take this anymore, Carlos. They won't even listen to what I really want to do. I want to go to medical school, but I have to run a country before I can follow my own dreams." Logan explained to the Latino boy, putting his head in his hands. Carlos sighed and slumped down, looking out the window at the snow.
"Then don't. Don't marry her."
"Yeah, that'll go over smoothly with my parents. Need I remind you they still call me Hortense."
"But you don't love her, and you're never going to love her. So why even bother."
"I want true love, Carlos, not what my parents want." Logan groaned. Carlos sat there, listening to the snow falling against the window and the sounds of the kitchen staff cooking for their next meal.
"We need a vacation."
Logan looked up, raising an eyebrow. "Vacation? Carlos, it's Christmas."
"That's the point. It's Christmas. It'll be the best time to get out of here, go and do something fun and festive instead of living here, listening to the rules and regulations of the kingdom. Come on! You know you want to! And I know the best place to go!" Carlos told him, producing the newspaper he had in his pocket. Logan shook his head.
"I don't think so, 'Los." Carlos groaned plopping the paper on the bed.
"Just think about it, okay?" He asked, standing up from the bed and moving out of the room. Logan sat there, head in hands, before peeking over toward the paper.
"Christmas in Minnesota; the most Festive Time of the Year."
"Karoline! Order ready for table three!"
Karoline Knight sighed, moving from the register toward the window and grabbing the plates. "Here you go, Ian." She said, placing the plates in front of the older man. Ian smiled and handed her a few bills as a tip. She smiled and pocketed them, before walking back over to finish her chores in the diner.
Oakbrook, Minnesota was a small town, barely noticeable with only about four hundred people living in it. There was a small town and on the outskirts were most of the nice neighborhood.
Karoline sighed and finished refilling the napkin holders and grabbed the next table's order, cleaning off the table and then grabbing the plates. She sighed once all of her customers were fed, leaning against the counter.
"Karoline, take a break, babe. You need one." Kelly, the owner of the diner said, chuckling as she put the menus back in their place. Karoline chuckled and leaned back, throwing her dirty blonde hair from her face and smiling.
"You're making enough money and tips as is. Come on Karoline, take a few days off. You're going to need it. You still haven't gotten your Christmas tree." Kelly explained to the girl and giggled.
"She's right you know." Gustavo poked his head from the window where he was cooking. "Christmas should be spent with your family. Not here, or at the pet shop." Karoline laughed.
"I know that. I do. I'm just trying to save up." She said and sighed, ringing another customer up and smiling as they left.
"And you've been saving up for a while. Take a break. Have fun. Enjoy Christmas while you can." Karoline smiled softly and rolled her eyes.
There was a soft jingle as another customer came in. Karoline looked up and smiled. "Hey Katie." She said softly, looking at her little sister. Katie Knight grinned and moved to the counter, slipping up onto the stool. "How was your last day of school?"
Katie rolled her eyes, throwing her bag up on the counter and smiling when Kelly brought her a mug of hot chocolate. "Brutal. But finals are done for the semester." The seventeen year old spoke, pushing her hair from her face. Karoline laughed, pushing her sister's shoulder and leaning against the counter. "When do you get off?" Katie asked.
"In about fifteen minutes, why?"
"Can we please go get our tree?" Katie begged, making Kelly and Gustavo both laugh. Karoline rolled her eyes, before sighing and nodding.
"Yes. We'll pick up Kendall from the rink and go get our tree." Katie squealed and reached over, hugging her sister tightly. Karoline laughed and hugged her younger sister, before sighing.
"Kendall! Hurry up, your sister's getting impatient!"
Kendall Knight laughed, grabbing his bag and jogging through the snow over to the car, sliding in the back. "What's wrong, baby sis? Can't live without me?" He teased.
"Only in your dreams." Katie joked.
"Yeah, because she can't live without me, either." James added and laughed. Karoline smirked and rolled her eyes, running a hand through her hair as she pulled out and headed toward the tree farm to grab their tree.
"We can't live without each other." Karoline added and looked up in the mirror at her older brother and best friend. Kendall smirked from where he sat.
"Older brother, two baby sisters, and a best friend. Yeah, that's a funky family."
"But you know you love it." James added and laughed, smirking. Karoline and Katie laughed, turning down the road.
"Who's flying in for the holidays?" Katie asked as they looked up. Karoline shrugged.
"Hope they know they're going to be stuck for a while. Snow in Minnesota is the worst thing for anyone to be in." Kendall smirked and Karoline nodded.
If only they knew what they were getting into.
