Chapter 1: Love at First Fight

Kendall's POV:

The boys walked through the lobby, voices sore after their rough rehearsal. Though the training was irritating, their spirits were high and a smile seemed to be upon all their faces. Logan however, seemed to be bummed out, since Gustavo had continuously argued with him.

"Cheer up bud," Kendall said, "He always yells at us, there isn't anything you could have done."

"Yes there was," Logan snapped, catching his friends off guard, "I could have actually done something right. I mean come on! I know that song since, like, forever…." His voice trailed off, as the sound of bickering filled the lobby, and all boys turned toward the front desk, where sat Mr. Bitters who was arguing with a girl.

Logan's POV:

He had never seen her before, so she must have been new. She wore a beige blouse, which drooped over her shoulders, revealing a white strap. Her jean shorts were belted by a long blue scarf, and she wore black converse with white socks. Her chestnut and red hair went down to the bottom of her shoulder blades, and her voice sounded like that of angel, though it's tone was sharp and irritated. If he hadn't kept his cool, Logan was certain he would have begun to daydream.

"I told you oh so many times!" explained Bitters, a harsh tone rising in his throat, "rooms are for reserved guests only!"

"And I told you, that I made a flippin' reservation already!" argued the girl. Her shoulders were back and her hand twitched with anger.

Almost uncontrollably, Logan started walking towards her. Oh what am I getting myself into, he thought. He reached out and tapped her on the shoulder, fear making the hair on the back of his neck stick out as she stared at him.

?'s POV:

Someone reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and she turned to look at a guy with short brown hair and eyes to match, who had apparently stepped up to break up the fight. He didn't even know her, and yet he decided to help her. Why? Was he really one of the ones she searched for? Though she was sure she had seen him before, he was new to her, and somewhat attractive…. He turned to the guy at the desk and began to speak.

"Mr. Bitters, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding," he finally spoke, as three other boys came up behind him. "Maybe, something was never imputed into the computer or a missed word over the phone-"

"No! I don't want to hear it!" yelled Bitters, suddenly pointing to her, "You! Get out! I won't give you a room no matter what!"

He stormed out of the lobby and into his office, grunting things under his breath no one could understand.

Logan's POV:

She was crushed, it was obvious, now that he could see her face. Her eyes were crystal blue and almost sliver through the tears rolling down her lightly tanned skin. Dodging the four of them, she walked off and sat down on the lobby couch, with two suitcases close behind. Her head collapsed into her hands and she began to sob.

Logan stared at Kendall, with a gaze asking what he should do, but his best friend wasn't sure and motioned for him to go and comfort her. Shaking, he started to walk towards her, looking behind his shoulders at James and Carlos, who were almost bracing themselves for the eruption this newbie might have. Warily, Logan got closer, and prepared for impact.

"Um… Are you alright?" he questioned. She looked up, tears in her eyes and a glare that stared at him. But her expression dropped, and a sigh arose from her lungs.

"Does it look like it?" she replied, " I've saved money for 10 years in an orphanage, and apparently, it's all been a waste of time….." Logan instantly sat beside her, and his arm went around her shoulders. James and Carlos were confused, when Kendall went around the couch and sat on her other side.

"Sorry that your trip has been a waste," he spoke, as she looked up at him, " If there was anything we could do to help, we would." He reached for her hand and held it, rubbing his thumb along her knuckles.

" We could let her stay with us!" blurted Logan. As a smile grew on his face, four heads whipped around to look at him, shock in their eyes.

"Why would you do that?" the newbie questioned, confusion and interest in her sky blue eyes. "You don't even know my name, and yet you wish for me to stay with you." Logan himself was surprised as well, since it came out of nowhere. But she was really pretty, and seemed really nice. Though the true reason he wanted her to stay, made him unsure…..

"Well, maybe if Gustavo thinks you have talent you can stay permanently, and beside, where else will you go?" he questioned. James and Carlos looked at each other, and Kendall's hand grabbed him by the shoulder, pulling him up from his spot by the girl. Though he said nothing, the look in his eyes said a thousand words. It spoke: Are you insane? We don't know her and yet you want her to join us? But then, his eyes left Logan, and turned to the girl, and she smiled at him, appearently unaware of the silent conversation he was having.

"Well, I guess she can come, but remember that it isn't my opinion…" Logan grabbed Kendall as soon as he finished and grabbed the new girl's bag. James grinned and Carlos leaped for joy, a smile across his face. As the five started to leave the lobby, Logan turned to their new companion, her chestnut hair danced as she walked.

"By the way," he began and cocked his head to the side as he spoke, "what's you name?"

"Oh yeah," she replied, "Nikita. Call me Nicky."
