Chapter 2
After their brief meeting with each other, Kelly took Big Time Rush and KSM back to the Palm Woods so KSM could get settles in before they started preparing for their comeback tour.
"So how long have you guys been in LA?" Katie asked.
"About a year and a half." James replied giving her the Diamond smile of his.
"What made you guys come out here?" Kate questioned looking at Carlos.
"Well James has always wanted to be famous, but we're out here because of Kendall. He has the fire." Carlos said making hand gestures like spirit fingers.
"The fire?" Shae questioned.
"Yeah we're still working out on what he means by that, and by he I mean Gustavo. Actually we're still trying to figure out what the hell he is." Kendall responded towards Shae with a smile on his face.
"I know I've been trying to do the same thing for the past couple of years." Kelly said from the front driver seat.
That comment was something the boys have never seen from Kelly. They could never see her saying that in front of their boss. They honestly were caught a little bit off guard and looked at her funny. She gave them the 'what' look causing them all to laugh.
As she stopped her laughing, Shelby looked to the boy that was sitting next to her. I think his name was Logan, but Gustavo called him Smart Pup, so I'll go with that, she thought to herself.She looked at his raven color hair and his body easily noticing that he was wrapped up in a shell of nervousness from the moment they had began their drive home. All he did was move over to the window seat and looked out the entire time, not making eye contact with anyone. If he could have rolled up into a ball, she thought he might just have done it.
"What's your story, Mr. Smart Pup?" Shelby asked.
"W-w-what do you mean, my story?" Logan answered with his own questioned.
"Everyone else here has said something about themselves, you haven't said a word about yourself." She responded.
"Carlos didn't either." He said trying to change the subject, but it was not getting by Shelby.
"Don't change the subject on me Mr. Smart Pup. Anyway I don't need to ask Carlos anything, he is like Kate in every way. I know why he is singing out here. He does it so he can be with you guys. But you are trickier to read." She said.
"First thing first my name is Logan, not Mr. Smart Pup." Logan continued on until he got a head nod from Shelby, "And I was only doing this first because I wanted to be with my friends, I actually wanted to become a doctor when I grow up, but somewhere down the road I actually started to like this business."
"You remind me a lot of Sophia." Katie said from the back.
"Who?" The boys asked in unison.
"The fifth member of our band, well she was the fifth member until she decided to go to school. That's why Shelby here had to learn bass." Shae said this time getting in on the conversation.
"Now I have a question for you girls." Carlos commented.
"Ask away." They said.
"What's up with the band name?" He asked.
"Well the K and S come from our initials and M from music, which is what we have in common with each other." Shelby replied. "Now it's our turn. Why does Gustavo call you guys dogs?"
"Well, when we Kendall was about to agree to sign with him, he gave Gustavo an ultimatum. It was all of us or Kendall wasn't going. Then Gustavo preceded to say we couldn't sing," Logan said with Kendall cutting him off.
"I told him that he said that he could make a dog sing well, and said that my friends could sing better than a dog, so I basically twisted his arm." Kendall laughed at the thought of the day.
Ten minutes late the two bands showed up in the parking lot of the Palm Woods. They stepped out of the car and made their way to the building manager, Mr. Bitters. As they came to the front desk, he was eating a basket of french fries.
"May I help you?" He said.
"Yeah we're the new group staying here. Gustavo Rocque sent us up in a room." Shelby said.
"Ah yes, the new girl band that has to work with the wild children and their demon sister." He said.
"Did Katie beat you at something again Bitters?" James asked with a smile, but was trying to hide it.
"Yeah, she beat me at checkers. Well, here is your room key, 4H. Have a Palm Woods day." He said and then went back in to his office.
"Before we go to your room, you can come to ours to meet my mom and sis." Kendall said ushering everyone to the elevator.
As they stepped in Kendall push the button marked two and waited for the elevator to start its way up to the boy's floor. The doors opened up and the boys led the girls down the hallway to a room marked 2J. James put his key in the door and opened it allowing everyone in before shutting it behind them all.
"Mom, Katie? There are some people we like you to meet." Kendall yelled throughout the house.
Seconds later Katie came flying down the swirly slide and Kendall's mom appeared in the kitchen.
"Well hello girls, I'm Mrs. Knight, but feel free to call me Mama Knight." Mrs. Knight said while waving her hand. "And this is my daughter-" She was going to continue but was cut off by Katie.
"Oh my god, it's KSM. What are you doing here?" She said excitedly.
"We're here to get back into the music industry, and your brother and his friends are going to help us." Kate said.
"Sweet." Katie said giving her brother the 'don't mess this up or you're going to get it' look.
"Well it was nice to meet you, but we need to settle in our room." Shae said.
"OK than, see you girls around." Mrs. Knight said waving good bye.
The group of teenagers left the apartment and headed back towards the elevator that had taken them up to floor two. As they entered one of them pushed the button marked four. They waited for the elevator to stop its ascend and walked out when the doors opened up. They searched the hallway until they found their room, 4H.
They opened the door to the apartment, realizing how big it actually was. It was nicer than 2J was even with all the renovations the boys had done to the apartment. As they continued to scan the apartment they found four different bedrooms, a lounging area, and a fully stocked kitchen.
"Um this is a really nice place. Why didn't we get a nice place when we got here." James said receiving a smack from Logan telling him to not to act all self centered.
"So we are going to go and let you guys unpack if you need us we'll be at the pool." Carlos said rushing out the door with Kendall and James before Logan could say anything.
"Guys we...should...stay...and...help...them. I need new friends." He began to say when he realized none of them were there.
"It's all right Logan you can go with them." Shelby said.
Logan just nodded his head and turned on his heels and Shelby went back to unpacking. As Logan was about to leave he turned on his heels again and helped Shelby unpack.
"There is another thing you don't know about me, I'm very thick headed when it comes to helping people out. The guys said it might be the death of me because I'm too nice." Logan said gaining a laugh from Shelby.
As the two continued to unpack, Katie, Kate, and Shae all looked towards each other with the same smile on their faces. They all knew what each other were thinking so they didn't need to say it. Their smiles said if for them. He likes her.
"You girls need help?" Logan asked knocking them out of their daze.
"No. If anyone is going to need the most help it's Shelby." Katie said.
Upon recieveing his answer, Logan quickly turned on his heels and ran to Shelby in her room that she picked out. Oh yeah, he totally likes her.
