"Morning Babe, ready to go?" Logan asked as he took my bag.
"Ready as I'll ever be!" I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and hopped up on the gigantic bus. Complete with a kitchen two bedrooms and a huge bathroom. It could fit up to 10 people comfortably. They had rented two buses, one to carry all our equipment plus the mangers and assistants. The other one was for me and the boys, who were all crazy beside the fact that it was 6 o'clock in the morning. They would all crash soon and I would be left alone with the bus driver. Gustavo came on with 5 huge packets containing lyrics to the songs. I was going to be the opener for the boys. Every night I would sing 4 songs and then let the boys have a go. But as the end of the concert neared, Logan and I would get to sing our song as a closer while the boys relaxed. Gustavo picked out these songs for me. I was supposed to mix them up each stop. But we were stopping at 30 different locations in the next year and a half. So I started to make up list for each concert.
Here With Out You
Lips of an Angel
Angel of Mine
Because of You
Fallin' for You
Savin' Me
You Guardian Angel
My Sacrifice
I Will Not Bow
Kryptonite
You Got Me
Smile
Accidentally in Love
Iris
I found all the songs on play list and listen to them as the boys were crashed out on the couch and floor. Logan, of course, sat closest to me while Carlos slept on the floor close to my couch and James and Kendall used the other couch and chair. Gustavo came on and stood in amazement as we neared a gas station out side of Nevada.
"Did you null the dogs to sleep with your voice?" He asked.
"Yup, it was so sweet that it knocked us out" Logan mumbled from his spot next to me on the tour bus.
"Ah isn't that sweet? We should be in Miami, Florida in a week. See you at the hotel in about 6 hours!" He called as he left the bus, the bus driver got up from his seat.
"You're in charge; make sure these boys don't come near the driver's seat okay sweetie?" He asked. He was in his late 50s early 60s he was heavy set and had a white beard.
"Okay! I think were good for now. I'll shut the door, so they won't be tempted." I answered getting up from my spot next to Logan and shut the door between the driver's cabin and out part. I sat back down next to Logan who was slowly waking up and watched me write another song.
"Can you sing a song for me?" He asked.
"Just what song would that be?" I asked.
"Just be me?" He answered, I hummed the tune and quietly sang the song for him after awhile he joined in and we both sang to it. I heard the bus driver come back on, but didn't realize till we were done that he was listening to us.
"You've got a voice there little lady. I'm going to guess that is your song isn't it?" He asked pointing at me and Logan.
"Yes, she wrote it the day we meet." Logan commented.
"Young love, I hope you two end up together and have children with amazing voice. This world needs some better singers if you ask me." He commented starting up the engine. Me and Logan both blushed and continue to hum to certain songs we knew. He would hum the tune while I sang the song, just to get me ready. We sounded great together even the bus driver turned off the radio and listen to us. The other boys hadn't woken up yet, to my amazement.
"How did you two meet? If you don't me mind asking…." He asked.
"Well, I was doing their photo shoot and he kind of asked me out." I finished.
"If I may, you two make an adorable couple, in my opinion." He announced.
"Thank you" I blushed snuggling up to Logan.
"Oh now your tired?" He asked.
"Yes, let me go to sleep, don't move!" I ordered.
"Wouldn't have even dreamed of it." He answered.
"Can we make the couch a bed?" I asked the bus driver.
"Yeah there's a button next to the window." He answered. Logan pressed a button that made the couch turn into a bed two foldable doors closed inclosing us in our own private room with a window.
"Now we both can get some decent sleep." I commented as I laid my head on his chest. He started to hum our song and I slowly fell asleep.
Iris Foxheart
An Hour later Logan's P.O.V
I woke up before Iris did and looked out the window. We were pulling up the first hotel. I tried to wake up Iris but it was no use. She was out for good or at least the next few hours. I folded up the bed and opened the doors. The bus driver saw me come out.
"Morning, Logan sleep good?" He asked.
"Yes, Mr. Frost, I did." I answered. This man was one of our past drivers.
"How's the lass? She still out?" Mr. Frost asked.
"Yeah looks like she's out. Have the other boys been up yet?" I asked.
"Not yet you should go wake them up." I nodded my head and ran to the back of the bus. Carlos had gone back and slept on the floor in one of the bedrooms.
"Guys wake up were here at the hotel." I called shaking each of them up. Carlos woke up first, being on the floor, and then James and Kendall.
"Is Iris up?" James asked.
"No, but I have an idea how to wake her up!" I added.
"What kiss her to death?" Kendall asked.
"No let's sing her awake with the theme song. It will be funny!" Carlos added.
"Good idea I was going to say poor some water than sing!" I answered.
"Alright were going to sneak out there quietly and Carlos is going to poor a SMALL amount of water on her, and then we'll sing!" I announced. Carlos ran in the bathroom and filed a cup of water. Walked back out to us, and I lead the way to the bed. She looked so peaceful sleeping, but she'll learn not to fall asleep on a tour bus with 4 teenage boys. Carlos quickly poured the water on her and we started to sing.
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Make it count play it straight
Don't look back, don't hesitate
When you go Big Time
What you want
What you feel never quit and make it real
When you're all big time
Hey Oh Hey oh
Listen to your heart now
Hey Oh Hey oh
Don't cha feel the rush?
Hey oh Hey Oh
Ready take your shot now
Oh, oh hey
Oh OHH!
She couldn't help but smile as we finished.
Iris's P.O.V
I was peacefully dreaming of Logan when I became wet and I heard singing. Not just any singing. Big Time Rush, my favorite song sung by my favorite group. After seeing all the boys trying to make me not kill them made me smile.
"Let me guess, my brainy boyfriend came up with this idea?" I asked.
"Nope Carlos did with my help of course!" Logan answered. Both he and Carlos were beaming with pride.
"Just remember I love revenge!" I commented wringing out my shirt as Gustavo came on.
"Surprise! Were here! Grab your bags and we will go check in." Gustavo yelled.
"Are we all staying in the same room?" I asked.
"No, each boy has the own room and so do you!" He answered giving me a wink.
"See you guys in the morning!" The bus driver said as we hopped of the bus.
I lead the way with the boys behind me as we tried to avoid fan girls and apparently guys? Once inside the body guards took over and helped us get to our rooms safely. I just stayed at Logan's side. Sure enough on the top floor there were 5 hotel rooms each with our name on the door. It was James, than Kendall, Carlos, then Logan, and finally me. Each of us said our good nights and headed to our rooms. Mine was huge! With a queen sized bed and a full bathroom. Gustavo had explained that we could enter each room by a side door. I locked both my doors knowing all to well what they could do. I quickly changed into my pjs and set my alarm for 5 am. Knowing what my plan was for tomorrow. It was a little thing called revenge on my boyfriend. I quickly lay down with my iPod playing Any Kind of Guy.
Next Morning
I slammed my hand on my alarm clock and took a quick shower. Changed into jeans and my Denver Broncos jersey and unlocked the door connecting me and Logan's door. He was still sound asleep, and it was so cute. It took all the power I had in me not to blush sense he was shirtless and only in pajama shorts. I walked into my bathroom and got a cup of water. I stood at his side, poured the water, and started to sing as he woke up.
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm strong
I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find
deep inside me
I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
and waves are crashing
and stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
"I told you I like revenge!" I commented. He was trying not to be mad at me, but it wasn't working out so well.
"I can't be mad at you when you are smiling!" He commented.
"That's why I'm smiling." I commented. He grabbed my arm and started to tickle me. I tried to pull out of his grasp.
"Stop it Logan!" I laughed. We both were having fun trying to get the other until we realized one thing. James, Kendall, and Carlos were all at the door way watching us.
"Wow, you both slept in the same room?" Kendall asked.
"No! I poured water on him and started to sing. And he started to tickle me so it became a game!" I announced. They all rolled their eyes and walked away. They all went back to bed while Logan and I stayed awake listening to our song, Just Be Me.
"I can't believe its one of the top songs now! It's not even that great!" I commented laying my head on his shoulder as we sat on my bed leaned against the headboard.
"It is too!" He added.
"Now I'm nervous." I announced.
"Why babe?" He asked as worry filled his eyes.
"I've never preformed for a live audience before. Knowing how big those crowds are going to be." I answered.
"You sing in front of me and the rest of the gang? You never seem afraid around us?" He commented.
"Cause I trust you guys. You're my boyfriend of course I'm going to sing in front of you. Especially when you ask me to how can I say no?" I asked.
"Just pretend your singing to us like at the pool. No one else is there except us five." He commented. Trying to comfort me, but I wasn't that helpful.
"I'll try" I finished.
"That's the Iris I know. We should start to pack up before Gustavo comes and yells at us." He said as he got up and left the room. I quickly started to pack up my few belongs that I had brought in and put them by the door. I could hear the boys yelling about something, but I didn't pay any attention with my iPod in and all. Listening to the four songs I had picked plus a few that Logan loved. My phone went off in my pocket and I got a text from Logan.
(LoganIris)
You done packing yet, babe?
Yeah I'm just listening to music, what you need?
Sit on your bed and close your eyes.
Okay, why?
Just do it
I did as I was told and waited patiently for an entrance. I could hear the guys snicker as someone took off my head phones. I heard some shuffling around on my bed.
"Open your eyes Iris!" Logan ordered. I slowly opened my eyes to see balloons and them all wearing birthday hats.
"Surprise! Happy 19th Birthday, Iris!" The all said at once. I smiled.
"How did you know it was my birthday?" I asked.
"Remember when I took your phone awhile back?" Carlos announced. I nodded my head.
"Well, we kind of found out through you calendar when your birthday was" Logan emitted.
"Even though I'm mad at you for looking through my personal calendar, I'm glad you guys cared enough to check." I smiled hugging them all and giving them a kiss on the cheek. Last but not least was my amazing boyfriend.
"You wouldn't forget little old me, now would you?" He teased. I gave him a huge kiss and a long hug.
"Alright alright, break up the love fest. Let's go, there are donuts on the bus. We must leave before the fan girls and guys arrive." Gustavo ushered from my door way. The boys grabbed their bags and walked out the door. Logan stayed at my side the whole way even as we weaved our way through the crowds to the tour bus. Mr. Frost greeted us all and sure enough on the kitchen counter sat 2 boxes of donuts for us to munch on.
"I think the birthday girl should get first pick and needs a candle, don't you think?" Carlos commented. Amazingly they did I got to pick out my favorite donut and they put a mini candle on the top. They sang the best darn version of Happy Birthday I've ever heard. Mr. Frost even joined in ad sang with them. I blew out the candle and quickly ate the donut. We all finished one box of donuts and saved the rest for later. We were only a short 3 hour dive to the concert area. So I worked on my songs and rehearsed with the boys. I knew I need to be on alert for some special birthday present from them. Knowing all to well how crazy they all were. We finally go there and watched people pour in and fill in a lot of the seats and lawn. Butterflies were in my stomach so I just stayed by the boys who kept my mind off the concert.
"Alright, Iris, truth or dare?" Carlos announced bringing me into reality.
"Truth?" I answered.
"Besides Logan who else would you date in the band?" Carlos asked.
"You sorry Kendall and James I still love you though." I announced they both seemed to shrug. But Carlos was milking it for the longest time possible.
"Alright, Logan, truth or dare?" James asked.
"Dare, after that question I'm not taking any chances." He commented. Kendall went over and whispered something in his ear.
"Alright I'll do it. It's the truth anyway." Logan said. I was now worried about what was going to happen in the next couple hours.
"Alright, Iris you're up, good luck." Gustavo announced. Logan gave me a quick hug and kiss while the boys patted my back.
"Remember the pool." Logan whispered as I got behind the screen waiting for my opener. It seemed like the longest 10 seconds of my life before I heard the screen starting to open. People where screaming as I started to sing and dance around. Enjoying myself thankfully and having a good time. When my time was over I ran back stage and hugged Logan.
"It was so easy!" I announced. He nodded and smiled. It was there turn so I waited back stage until my name was announced.
"Iris, could you come out here please?" I heard Logan call from center stage. I quickly walked out on stage to see the boys standing around a small chair on the center stage. I quickly took the seat and watched them.
"Now I would like to announce that our amazing opener, Iris, is having her 19th birthday today. So for a special treat the next song is dedicated to her. Thanks for being a good friend Iris" Carlos announced. I knew the tune as soon as they began to sing~ Any Kind of Guy. My favorite song and they were playing it for me. It didn't matter if this made a lot of their fan girls mad I loved every second of it. As the song finished the boys handed me a microphone. Logan took the spot next to me and waited for silence.
"Now Iris, my amazing girlfriend, where were you 19 years ago on this day?" He asked.
"Denver General Hospital in my mom's arms." I answered.
"Did you ever dream that you would be here some day?" James asked.
"Nope" I answered.
"What about dating one of us?" Carlos questioned.
"Not in a million years." I concluded.
"Now, Iris, we've been dating for almost 2 months now. Special thanks to Mr. Frost, our bus driver, for bringing this to my attention. I love you Iris LeAnn Foxheart, and I always will." He finally concluded bringing me into his chest for a hug. I was starting to cry, never in my life had someone actually love me. I mean my parents did but that's not the same.
"I love you too" I said over the microphone.
A huge aw went over the crowd as I pulled away from Logan.
"Now Iris would you be so kind and let us hear that pretty voice of yours in our song?" Logan asked.
"Sure!" I answered. He smiled as the boys helped us sing as back up. This was our final song. We had to wait for everyone to leave before it was safe to walk to our tour bus. So everyone decided I shouldn't have to walk all the way to the tour bus. So they all carried me, literally carried me on a large stretcher type thing. As we entered the tour bus a girl with blond hair was sitting on the bed reading a magazine.
"Char? Is that you?" Logan asked.
"Logan! How's are you? Is this the Iris I've heard of I'm Charlotte by the way?" She asked shaking my hand.
"It's nice to meet you Charlotte. Well I didn't know I was that well known, but yes. I never knew Logan had such a pretty sister. Why didn't you tell me?" I asked Logan.
"Well I've not seen her for almost 6 years, so I just slipped my mind." He answered awkwardly.
"So how did my brother pick up a girl like you? What he bribe you with? Fame? Fortune?" She asked. I was taken back by her question, but I figured that I should answer not to tick off Logan's little sister.
"Nothing he just won me over with his personality. Why do you ask?" I questioned taking a seat in the couch across from her. The rest of the boys escaped into the back bedroom while Char, Logan, and I all sat together.
"Well normally girls dump him after the first week. After they find out that he's just a huge nerd with a smile." She announced. Logan sat quietly next to my side.
"Look, Charlotte, not to be rude, but I do like your brother and I would appreciate it if you would be so harsh towards our relationship. And perhaps we could be friends?" I asked sticking out a hand for her to shake.
"Fine, but I'm only doing it to make Logan happy. Consider your self a friend of mine." She answered shaking my hand.
"Tthank you. Now what career are you currently taking?" I asked politely.
"Acting, I love it. I've done shows all over the world." She commented.
"Oh really, that's awesome! I always wanted to act, but I found myself with singing and song writing. Is everything going okay right now?" I asked.
"Yeah just fine I'm just taking a break and spending some quality time with my brother." She smiled.
"Our next concert is in Atlanta, Georgia about a four hour drive from Miami." Mr. Frost announced. I thanked him and pulled out my iPod and sketch book.
"So you like to draw?" She asked.
"Yeah, only certain things. Like animals or scenery and occasionally people." I answered.
"What's your best one?" She asked. I flipped to a tiger in the trees of the jungle and showed it to her.
"That's really pretty…." She commented.
"Thank you very much!" I thanked. She nodded and read the rest of her magazine.
Four Hours Later
The car trip seemed to fly by. We arrived in Atlanta, Georgia and finished the concert by 11 this time. I was talking to a crew member when I got a text from Logan.
Iris, I'm sorry but this isn't really working out. I found another girl much prettier than you and she can actually sing. We are finished.
I felt tears start to roll down my cheeks as I walked out to the tour bus. Charlotte was reading her magazine when I came on. It must have been obvious that I was crying because she hopped up from her spot on the couch and followed me to the bedroom in the back.
"Iris what happened?" She asked sitting next to me on the bed. I handed her my phone and let her read the text even she gasped.
"Oh, he's in big time trouble when he gets here! Do you want to talk to him?" She asked handing me my phone back.
"No thanks though. Just don't let any of the boys in. I don't want them to see me cry. Unless its Carlos he can come in if he ask to." I answered. Digging my head into the pillow and cried some more. She patted my back and tried to hush me as the boys came on the bus. I heard Logan calling my name, but then I heard Charlotte's voice and the door shut.
"How could you do that to her? After all she's done for you? Haven't I told you never to break up with a girl over text messaging?" She yelled.
"What? What do you mean? Where's Iris?" Logan asked.
"Crying her eyes out because you broke up with her and now you're going out with another girl! That's what I mean!" She yelled back as the bus lurched forward. I heard Carlos' voice at the door.
"Iris, can I come in?" He knocked. I didn't answer I just laid there.
"Iris you okay?" Carlos asked. I unlocked the door and sat on the bed again. He came in and sat on the bed next to me.
"You know he didn't do it, right?" He asked.
"Of course, because Santa Clause did it! Of course Logan did it! It came from his phone in a text to me." I hissed.
"No, I caught a girl stealing our phones. I must have missed her texting you from Logan's phone." He announced. I didn't believe him, not one word. Boys would say almost anything to get a girl back.
"Yeah, right. That's the stupidest excuse I've ever heard. Let Logan bask in his glory of picking up a cuter girl and dumping the last one." I ordered. He walked out the door. I could hear him announced to the rest of the gang.
"Dude what ever you said really ticked her off. I've never seen her like this. You better apologize and quick!"
"Logan you need to apologize and take back those words right now! You're breaking her heart. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't talk to you for a while!" And she was right. I didn't talk to Logan for another 6 concerts before I let him even in the same room as me. Only did I realize that I wasn't hurting from not seeing him. He was hurting from not seeing me. Yet the feeling of yearning for him never went away. To be able to run into those arms of his and take back what ever words I didn't even say always was there. One stormy night the yearning won over my pride.
It was around 10:30pm and it was raining like crazy. For a week Logan attempted to talk to me and I didn't let him. Finally he won over. "Iris, can I please talk to you?" He asked knocking on the door. I walked over and unlocked the door and returned to my seat on the bed. He slowly walked in and shut the door.
