Iris
Big Time Rush fanfic
Chapter Two
Disclaimer: In case I forgot this in Chapter 1, I do not own BTR or anything else mentioned within this story, besides the story plot itself.
Author's Note: To those who have already read Ch. 1: you may want to re-read it as I have edited it slightly and I have personally corrected errors. For those of you that are too lazy to: I changed Carlos' previous location to Wisconsin, rather than Detroit mostly unimportant info :P So as I said in Chapter One, I still have no idea where I am taking this. I would like to note that this is surely not one of my top priorities at the moment so please feel free to find other glorious fanfiction while you wait on me!~
Plot Summary* Update: Carlos is haunted by his childhood memories. Things he's seen, no child should. And now, that things have leaked, only more memories haunt him. Carlos had finally let things go, and rebuilt his broken bridges, to watch them tumble down. Who will help him repair them?
~I don't have a set pairing in mind, but we will see where things go. I may from time to time put up a "Plot Summary Update" like above, just to keep things fresh in your minds. Anyways... ONWARDS!
"Well, you just gave us a bit of a scare, Carlos. We will have to hold you overnight, now, then Mrs. Knight can take you home." the doctor said. He pat Carlos' foot before turning and leaving the room. Carlos looked out the tiny window, seeing the doctor talking to Logan, James, Kendall, Katie, Mrs. Knight, and Kelly.
As much as he wanted to, Carlos fought the tug of sleep. After a few moments, Kendall and Mrs. Knight came in. "Hey, Carlos!" Mrs. Knight says. Kendall waves a tiny bit, as if Carlos was the kid in the class that no one speaks to. Honestly, it hurt Carlos. "Kendall, honey, if you don't want to say anything, leave. I'm tired of you boys treating Carlos like a monster! I made that mistake once, and now I realize how it hurts him!" Mrs. Knight fought. For Carlos! Kendall immediately looked guilty and was about to apologize- or so it looked. He muttered something similar to an 'fuck you' and left quickly, appearing to leave the hospital as well. Mrs. Knight gawked after him, then sighed. "I am so sorry, Carlos."
Carlos sighed, then chuckled. "They- they don't even know what really happened. They treat me like I'm going to pull a gun on them. I've never even held a gun! I was 13!" Carlos spoke, a bit loudly. Kelly then walked in- well, more like ran.
"C- Carlos!" She shouted.
"Kelly! What is it?" Mrs. Knight asked. Kelly simply grabbed the remote from Carlos' hands and changed it to the news. After finding the story had passed, she flipped to another news station to find it just starting.
The news anchor shuffled his papers. "Next, we have a shocking, building, story. Well known recording artist of the band, Big Time Rush, Carlos Garcia, has been reported to have been in a gang shooting in western Wisconsin. There his brother shot an elderly individual and all but Carlos where killed or sent to prison, as they held no evidence on the child. Now, sources say that they have seen Carlos holding guns before and believe he is still a very dangerous person." The news anchor then switched subjects.
"Carlos... I don't know how this happened or what's going on but-" Kelly started, before Carlos cut in.
"I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, but can you both leave? I just- I need to rest." Carlos said. Mrs. Knight and Kelly both gave him sympathetic looks before leaving. When the door closed behind them, Carlos sighed. "I'm sorry, Papá." He whispered. "I'm sorry."
"Jaime?" Carlos asked. No one replied. "Jon?" Carlos spoke again. "Angél?" Carlos tried finally. None had answered him. Finally, Carlos opened his eyes to find he was in a cold jail cell. A large police officer was awake beyond the door, as if to ensure he didn't escape. "S- sir? Where am I?" Carlos asked innocently.
"You're in the police station, cell 10, to be exact. Your friends' trial is being held now. Think they're sentencing her to 15-20 years. Don't know why. Seems to me you two had little to nothing to do with it. Anyways they decided you only had to stay overnight and when the trial is over they will ask their questions. Then you're free to go. And I suggest you go. Far away from whatever the hell happened." the policeman said.
Suddenly, three officers walked by carrying Jaime. Two were at her sides, one behind her. "Jaime!" Carlos yelled. "I'm sorry, Jaime!" She turned her head and mouthed, 'It's okay. Not your fault.' Before being tugged to the entrance. A few moments later, two detectives (or at least that's what Carlos assumed they were) opened his cell door and dragged him to an interrogation room.
Katie slammed the door behind her, ignoring the fact her so-called "brothers" were behind her. She abruptly screamed and threw herself on the couch, successfully hogging the entire thing. A few moments later, Kendall came in, holding a bloody nose with a tissue and telling Katie to move her feet. "Gonna apologize to Carlos tomorrow?" Katie asked innocently.
Kendall glared at her and attempted to move the little girl's legs, but one-handed with a stubborn Katie on his hands, Kendall sighed in defeat. "Fine, Katie."
"Hmm... No. You don't mean it. You can sit on this couch when you're sincere." Katie said simply.
Kendall sighed again. About to leave in defeat, he nearly bumped into Logan. "You can't sit on the couch. Katie won't let us." Kendall explained.
Logan sighed and smiled. "I heard you two arguing. I'm actually looking for James though." Kendall pondered for a moment when Katie suddenly spoke up.
"Uhm, actually James is at the hospital. He talked Kelly into letting him go back and apologizing to Carlos, with supervision of course." Katie replied lamely, sucked into the television.
For some reason, this struck a nerve within both boys.
"...And I just wanted you to know I am sorry for the way I've been treating you. You know I don't care whatever happened in your past. You're the same Carlos I met three years ago." James said. He sat in the chair beside Carlos' bed.
Carlos reached out and hugged him. "Thank you, James. I needed this."
Kelly smiled, then cleared her throat. "It's about time to go, James. Carlos, you need some rest."
James and Carlos released each other and James headed for the door when Carlos asked in a somewhat frightened voice, "You are gonna come back, right James?"
"Everyday." James replied and smiled. He shut the door behind him and Carlos smiled, pulling the sheets over his head.
When the apartment door closed, James noticed something was wrong. Suddenly, Kendall and Logan were dragging him into the kitchen, stern looks upon their faces. "Would you like to explain why you and Carlos are friends again?" Logan asked, in a rather bitchy voice.
James suddenly shoved the two away and looked them in the face seriously, "Do either of you know what he is going through? Only a few days ago, he was the light of the group, we were his best friends and nothing could tear us apart. But then this happened and he is nothing but a plague to you two. I thought I would've been the worst, because I love being here and singing and everything, but I gave that up, because carlos is my best friend. I thought he was your guys' too." James pushed past them and ventured to his room.
'What have I done?' passed through both boys' heads.
Dear Carlos,
I know your Papi didn't want us talking, but I get lonely around here and you are the only one I ever want to write to. I know this isn't "healthy" but I just don't want to lose the only person I have left. If I ever get out of here, I want to see you again, Carlos! Anyways, I don't have much to say, not like I have a life in prison. Which is funny, because we play The Game of Life all the time. Probably one of those subliminal message things (they'd let us play Monopoly if 'go to jail' wasn't an option). Well, I hope to hear from you soon, Carlos, so you can tell me all about your life since... you know.
-Jaime
Author's Note: yea this is short but at least I posted something! I don't plan on this being too long so please gimme ideas peeps! Lol in the next episode the pairing will be finalized (as you can tell from the summary I'm thinking Kenlos) and Carlos' situation will be cleared up if not in that chapter then in the next. By the way, I don't plan on it being a full-fledged pairing, just a 'hint-hint' kinda thing. Ah, you'll see! Lol see you next time!
