When the Big Time Rush boys got home from rehearsal the next day, they walked into the apartment to find Mrs. Knight baking cookies.
"I smell cookies!" The four boys shouted and ran for the kitchen.
"Stop right there. No cookies for you boys. They're for the new girl across the hall.
The four boys looked at each other. "New girl. Nice!" Mrs. Knight just rolled her eyes at them.
"Try not to scare her off, please." Mrs. Knight begged the boys as she took the cookies out of the oven.
"Mom, we would never do that." Kendall insisted.
Just then, Katie walked into the room. "Um, remember that one girl that moved in a few weeks ago and then moved right back out because Carlos scared her with his crazy helmet antics?"
"Hey, that was not my fault. It's not like I meant to burn her while I was using my rocket powered skates when I was hanging out with her in the park."
"Where did you get rocket powered skates in the first place?" James asked.
"Logan made the rockets and then I attached them. It was awesome if I say so myself."
"And I need to learn to keep the rockets more tightly locked up apparently." Logan added, shaking his head at his foolishness.
Mrs. Knight just rolled her eyes. "Anyway, dinner will be ready soon. Go wash up."
"Yes Mama Knight." The four boys chorused as they walked off to the bathroom.
Later that night, Kendall decided that he wanted to go for a swim to get away from all of the stress that the day had brought. While the other Big Time Rush boys decided to head to bed, he went to the pool.
Just as he was getting close to the door that led outside, he heard music coming from the pool area. He realized that it was Natalie that was sitting by the pool, playing a guitar and singing with her back to the door.
If I wasn't here tomorrow would anybody care?
If my time was up I'd wanna know you were happy I was there
If I wasn't here tomorrow would anyone lose sleep?
If I wasn't hard and hollow then maybe you would miss me
I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I'd like better
I can never forget, so don't remind me of it forever
What if I just pulled myself together?
Would it matter at all?
What if I just tried not to remember?
Would it matter at all?
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try?
Would it matter at all?
Kendall leaned against the doorframe and listened to the beautiful voice that Natalie had.
If I wasn't here tomorrow would anybody care?
Still stuck inside this sorrow
I got nothin' and going nowhere
I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I'd like better
Can you help me forget, don't wanna feel like this forever
What if I just pulled myself together?
Would it matter at all?
What if I just tried not to remember?
Would it matter at all?
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try?
Would it matter at all?
I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
Someone that I'd like better
Can you help me forget, don't wanna feel like this forever
What if I just pulled myself together?
Would it matter at all?
What if I just tried not to remember?
Would it matter at all?
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try?
If I left tomorrow would anybody care?
Stuck in this sorrow
Going nowhere
All the chances that have passed me by
Would it matter if I gave it one more try?
Would it matter at all?
Kendall couldn't believe what he had just heard. Her voice was amazing. But he also couldn't believe the words that had just been sung. She can't really think that, can she? I mean, I don't know much about her except her name, but she seems like there is someone that cares about her. But I guess I haven't seen her around anyone the past couple of days while she's been here.
Just then, Natalie got up and started to walk towards the door. Her eyes were red, just like the night before when she had been crying. She froze once she realized that someone was standing there.
"You sound amazing." Kendall said as he started to walk toward her.
"How much of that song did you hear?"
"Enough to know that you are a great singer and that I'm jealous that only the pool gets to hear you." Kendall's comment made Natalie crack a smile. "But, you didn't actually mean any of those words you were singing, did you?"
Natalie visibly stiffened when he asked that question. "Um, no, of course not. Look, I gotta go. I'll see you around." And with that, Natalie took off into the Palm Woods, leaving Kendall standing there confused.
There's something that makes me think that not everything is OK. And I want to help her. I just need to figure out how.
I hope you enjoyed! Please review :)
