Carlos was exhausted. Gustavo kept him late to rehearse the lyrics for the new song they've been working on because Carlos couldn't get the tone right. "How am I supposed to sing like I'm torn between people I love if it's never happened to me before?" Carlos mumbled to himself. Carlos slowly trudged his way though the Palmwoods lobby and to apartment 2J. He sighed while unlocking the door to the apartment and lazily walked inside. He found his three best friends sitting on the couch watching TV. "Hey guys, I'm back from rehearsal. What are you guys doing?" Carlos asked, throwing his keys on the counter. "Eh, just watching Attack of the Monster Zombies 3." James smiled toward Carlos. "Oh really? No way, I've been wanting to see that movie since forever! Can I watch it with you guys?" Carlos asked excitedly.
"Actually…. It just ended. Sorry Carlos, we wanted to wait, but Gustavo kept you too long." Logan apologized. "Well, that's ok. Do you guys mind watching it again with me?" Carlos asked. "I would, but I can't. I got a date with Jo at the park." Kendall explained. He patted Carlos's back and walked out the door. "And I've got a date with a hot girl at the movies." James flashed a smile at Carlos and strutted out of the room. Carlos turned back to Logan and saw the apologetic look on his face. Carlos sighed and asked, "You have a date with someone too?"
"No, but I was gonna go to the science museum to check the new exhibits they have. They have an exhibit full of rare plants that I've been dying to see! But I'll stay and watch this again if you want." Logan suggested. Carlos thought it was a nice gesture, but he didn't want to ruin Logan's plans just for a movie. "No, it's ok. You should go to the museum." Carlos replied. Logan smiled at Carlos and said, "Alright. Thanks Carlos. Hey, you could come with me if you want." Carlos was going to say sure, but then he thought about spending hours in a boring museum. "Uh, that's alright. I think I'll just hang out here until I go to bed." Carlos told Logan.
"Ok, but later. You and me will watch the movie together. Ok?" Logan asked. "Alright, thanks Logan." Carlos smiled as Logan left the apartment. When Logan closed the door Carlos plopped down on the couch and watched the credits roll down the screen with a blank face. Carlos just sighed and Katie hopped over the couch and sat next to him on the couch. "What's wrong Carlos?" Katie asked. "Katie? Where did you…. Nevermind. Well, lately it seems that the guys and I have been hanging out less and less and sometimes they're even hanging out with each other and not me. I end up feeling like a fourth wheel. I mean, they all have they're own plans and I have nothing. I have my crazy stunts, but It's no fun if they aren't there to watch or do them with me." Carlos explained.
"Well then make plans WITH them so you can spend time with each of them. If they already have plans, see if you can tag along. If you don't like what they're doing, ask if you can choose what to do next time." Katie told him. Carlos looked up and thought about it. "Katie, you're a genius!" Carlos said. He hugged Katie and rushed out the door. Carlos rushed through the halls of The Palmwoods until he reached the lobby and saw Logan heading out. "Hey Logan, I was thinking and I actually think that it might be pretty cool to go see the exhibits at the museum with you." Carlos panted. "That sounds great, but are you ok? You look like you're gonna pass out." Logan explained. "Oh, yeah. I just felt like taking a little jog." Carlos laughed. "Haha, alright. Let's go."
"Ooo Carlos look! It's the Corypha taliera! It's only found in Bangladesh! *Gasp, and that's a Wollemia nobilis! It's located in New South Wales, Australia! Oh my god, look Carlos it's the Delphinium bakeri! It's only been seen here in California. Isn't this amazing!" Logan excitedly asked. Carlos laughed a little. He had no idea what Logan was talking about or why it was so exciting, but he was glad that Logan was having a great time and that he was spending time with one of his best friends. "Yeah. This is pretty great." Carlos laughed. "well this is the last stop so, what was your favorite exhibit?" Logan asked. "Um, well uh. I like the exhibit where we were cataloging the different types of moss there are. Uh they looked pretty cool." Carlos stuttered. Logan laughed, "Look, I know that you weren't as psyched about this museum as I was, but I appreciate the effort. I mean if you didn't come along, I would've been getting excited over plants by myself. And that would've just looked wierd. So thanks for coming with me Carlos." Carlos patted Logan's shoulder. "No problem Logan, I had an awesome time. Even if I was surrounded by plants with pointlessly long names." Carlos said. "Alright. Hey let's grab something to eat before we leave. I saw a corndog stand earlier." Logan suggested. "Awesome." Carlos said as he walked with Logan to the stand.
Carlos and Logan were laughing loudly as they walked into apartment 2J with their arms around each other's shoulders. "Oh my god that was great,"Logan laughed, "I can't believe you ate twenty corn dogs!" "Well, you dared me. And I love corn dogs, so I probably would've done it anyways." Carlos replied. They tossed their keys on the counter and walked toward their room. "Well, now that we're back home, do you wanna watch Attack of the Monster Zombies 3?" Logan asked. Logan smiled and held up the movie case. Carlos smiled back and thought it was a nice gesture, but he was getting tired. "Not today, I'm getting kind of tired. Maybe another night, ok?" Carlos replied. Logan nodded and followed Carlos into the room. Once they got inside, Carlos kicked his shoes off and threw his shirt in the corner of the room. Then he unbuttoned his pants and slowly slipped out of them until he was in nothing but a pair of socks and black boxer briefs.
Logan stared at Carlos and swallowed hard. "Um, I'm gonna go uh, take a shower before bed. Goodnight Carlos." Logan said while walking toward the bathroom, not taking his eyes off of Carlos. "Goodnight Logan." Carlos grinned. Logan bumped into the bathroom door and chuckled nervously while opening it and walking inside. Carlos walked over to his bed and plopped down onto it. It was a really long day, and Carlos was relieved to finally be in his bed. Carlos heard the water running from the shower and slowly drifted to sleep.
A/N: So this is my first Big Time Rush story and I'm hoping that it will turn out amazing. I wrote this with Carlos as the main focus because he is my favorite and he's extremely hot. So I hope you enjoy and remember... Reviews are your best friends. Thanks for reading.
