They Call Me Love.

Chapter 2: Let's Be Friends

Lilly's Point of View

I had successfully moved into my own room in the boys' apartment. We had a brief movie night, skipping out of the party. Each one of them let me hide behind them as we watched Paranormal Activity.

That movie scared the shit out of me.

Miss. Knight was excited to see me, saying that she missed me like I was her own daughter. And Katie said that she couldn't wait for the evil schemes that we could pull off. I had quietly agreed with the girl who I considered to be my little sister.

Now, I was in Big Time Rush's recording company. I didn't really want to be here. I had just tagged along to watch them record and such. Then maybe go to Wendy's for lunch.

Even after I had told them no, I didn't want to meet the person who "founded" Big Time Rush. The boys forced me to meet who Logan described as Satan. I followed behind my boys obediently, trying not to look too out of place.

"Hey Gustavo! We have someone we'd like you to meet." Kendall grinned, pushing me to the front of the group.

"A girl? Why would you want to show me a girl?" Gustavo must've been the deep voice that called the boys 'Dogs.' He was dressed in white jeans, and a white hoodie. "We have an album to make, I don't' need to meet one of your silly little friends."

"But she can sing. Just listen to her sing for you." James stated, I looked behind me at the boys and glared. I didn't sing in front of people I didn't know.

"C'mon, just let her sing one of the songs that you wrote for us." Logan insisted.

"We promise you won't regret it." Carlos stated with confidence.

"I might." I muttered, but no one heard me.

"Fine! Set her up in the sound booth, Logan." Gustavo shouted, walking into the recording studio.

I turned on my boys, "You have no idea how much I hate you all right now." I growled as Logan pushed me into the sound booth.

"You'll do fine, Lillian." Logan murmured, handing me a pair of headphones, "Just put these on. Your song sheet is on the stand right in front of you." Logan looked at the song, before nodding, "It kinda of sounds like you, too." He smiled.

I whispered, "You know I hate singing in front of people I don't know. That's why I only sing in the shower." I was being completely serious; I was insecure about my voice.

Logan met my eyes, understanding, but he just whispered, "Just pretend like you're singing to me, or any of the other guys. Just pretend, and you'll do fine." I bit my lip, nodding, and watched as Logan left the sound booth.

Gustavo shrugged, "Let's just get this over with." He muttered, "You ready?"

I nodded, "Sure."

Music started to come through the headphones, and I looked up at my boys before looking down at the sheet music, I was thinking that we were back at the apartment, and we were having one of our "Jam sessions" as I had always called them. I took a deep breath as I began to sing.

(Lilly; She is Love by Parachute)

I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around,
But he takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days,
But they make me want to believe.

They call me love, love, love, love, love.
They call me love, love, love, love, love.
They say I am love, but they're all I need.
They're all I need.

I inhaled sharply as Gustavo told me just to stop. And I tried not to look up as I watched Kendall argue with Gustavo.

I flinched when someone had hit the button that allowed me to hear what was going on in the room before me.

"She has no talent! She's just like any other girl!" Gustavo had yelled at Kendall.

Oh God, it was just like High School karoke again back in Malibu.

"Talent? Lilly has then talent. She's just scared out of her fucking wits because she hates singing without people she knows!" Kendall had shouted.

"Well, if she had ever became famous, she'd have to sing in front of stage in front of millions. I can't take a chance on her." Gustavo stated.

"You took a chance on us, take a chance on our girl." Kendall lowered his voice, still looking tense. I couldn't take it any more, I took the headphones off, still staring at the music.

I flinched slightly when the door clicked open and Kendall walked in, "Thanks for sticking up for me." I murmured.

"Hey, anytime. Now, let's show Satan your talent." Kendall smiled, nudging me slightly. I pulled off a smile, and put the headphones back on as Kendall put his on. "Just sing to me, like we used to." He whispered to me before I had put on my headphones, I nodded silently. Then Kendall gave Gustavo the thumbs up, and then I started to sing, just to Kendall. There was no Gustavo. Just me and Kendall.

(Lilly, Kendall, Both)

Kendall smiled, and high fived me. I smiled, before looking at Gustavo. The three boys behind him looked awestruck, was I good?

"One more song, it's right behind the one that you just sang. One more song and then she'll have to sing by herself, ok, Kendall?"

Kendall nodded, "Yeah." Pulling out the new song, "You Are the Only One." I had written that. I glared at the three boys standing behind Gustavo.

"So not fair." I mouthed to them.

(Lilly Kendall Both)

Forever is a long time
I'm not gonna lie
Is that a promise you can make
?
Are we in the right place at the wrong time
Right now I really need some space

Together on the front line
Look me in the eye
Tell it straight to my face

Are we going to work it out?
Or pack it in?
I guess this is the chance we take

'Cause you are the only one
That gets me
Knows me
Feels me
Hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough
To drive me crazy
Frustrate me
Complicate me
Make it harder than it needs to be
But the things that you do
And the things that you say
Make me want to stay

Everything is alright
Some of the time
Are we going through a phase?
Are we moving too fast?
Going too slow?
Am I just afraid to make mistakes?

I want to keep it real now
But don't make a sound
I want to see it in your eyes
Are we going to shake it up?
Or knock it down?
But deep inside
I know that we'll survive

'Cause you are the only one
That gets me
Knows me
Feels me
Hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough
To drive me crazy
Frustrate me
Complicate me
Make it harder than it needs to be
But the things that you do
And the things that you say
Make me want to stay

Through the ups and downs
I do
Just want to be with you
We're through


'Cause you are the only one
That gets me
Knows me
Feels me
Hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough
To drive me crazy

'Cause you are the only one
That gets me
Knows me
Feels me
Hurts me
And you are the only one
Who's close enough
To drive me crazy
Frustrate me
Complicate me
Make it harder than it needs to be
But the things that you do
And the things that you say
Make me want to stay

But the things that you do
And the things that you say

Make me want to stay

Kendall chuckled as the song ended, giving me a brief hug as he stepped back from the microphone.

Gustavo's voice came through again, "The next song is on the stand, just flip the page." I did as he told, but the papers went flying. I quickly grabbed the one that was supposed to be the one that I was singing out of the air.

"Sorry." I muttered, placing the song back on the stand.

Carlos, Logan, and James voice rang through the sound booth, "You'll do fine, Lilly." They all said at the same time. I silently flipped them off. I heard Gustavo laugh as the song started.

(4Ever; The Veronicas)

Oh oh!

Gustavo turned his back on me, but Logan moved into the front, turning around so that way Kendall and I could see his back. Soon though, Logan gave me thumbs up from behind his back. I smiled, and so were all the other guys, glancing up ever so often at me. Soon after, Gustavo turned around.

"I'll call you tomorrow." Gustavo stated, before leaving the studio. Kendall waited patiently for Gustavo to leave before shouting a victory and hugging me tightly. He carried me out of the sound booth, being careful not to hit my head on the door frame, "To Wendy's!" he shouted in victory.

I laughed, but the guys took it seriously. We all piled into my red convertible. The boys singing along to their songs as they came onto my iPod that I hooked up to my convertible. I even admit that I had sung along to the songs a few times. The drive to Wendy's was long, but the boys didn't complain. I led the way into Wendy's, ordering what was considered our usual. Just five double cheeseburgers, 6 medium fries (so that way we wouldn't steal each other's) and five chocolate frosty's.

The boys all said their share of thank you, Lilly's. "Anytime, guys, you know that." I smiled slightly, beginning to dip a few fries into my frosty.

"School starts tomorrow." Logan wrinkled his nose slightly.

James groaned, "Why must you remind us?"

"Because he's supposed to be the smart one." Kendall grinned, elbowing Logan slightly.

Carlos grinned, "Lilly's the new girl!"

I frowned, mocking James slightly, "Why must you remind me?" I groaned, placing my head on the table.

"Aww, don't worry. They'll like you. Here, have some of my fries." Logan stated with a confidence that I hoped I would have tomorrow before placing some of his fries in my mouth.

"Thanks." I murmured around the mouthful of fries.

"Have you gotten your schedule yet?" James asked before taking a bit of his cheeseburger.

I nodded, reciting my schedule from memory, "I have Math, Song Writing, Science, English, United States history, Guitar Tech, and then just regular Technology." I stated.

Kendall grinned, "Looks like I win, boys. That's my schedule."

"At least we have at least one subject with you both." James stated, looking over his own schedule.

Carlos was looking at his schedule that he had conjured up, "I have two classes."

"I've got three classes." Logan grinned.

I smiled slightly, "At least I won't be alone."

The boys nodded, eating their cheeseburgers, fries, and frosty's. I watched as the conversation went back to something more important to my boys.

Hockey.

At least I was able to take part in the situation, partially.
