Chapter 2: Hello Hollywood

-Katie's POV-

I woke up to the sound of smashing glass.

I got up, dazed, my head already hurting from an incoming migraine.

"KENDALL!" a voice that sounded like Mama Knight shrieked.

I groggily trudged into the living room to find Kendall standing sheepishly near a broken window and a huge pile of glass.

"What happened?" I asked wearily.

It is really too early for me to deal with today's bullshit.

"I think, I kinda, maybe, sort of destroyed the window." Kendall said in a small voice.

"How?" I asked.

"I was playing a game of indoor hockey." he said sheepishly, pointing to the black hockey stick laying broken among the glass.

I sighed and flipped open my cell phone and checked the time.

Oh shit. Today we make it big in Hollywood.

Yippee.

Just then, Mama Knight came in, seething with rage. Great.

"KENDALL KNIGHT I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BROKE THIS GODAMN WINDOW AGAIN, ONCE WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU, RIGHT? YOU ARE GUNNA PAY FOR THIS SHIT." Mama Knight rattled off furiously.

Me and Kendall grinned at eachother.

"What are you two smiling at?" Mama Knight snapped saucily.

"Nothing..." we both said, cracking up with laughter.

"Well get some clothes on, we have to be ready in a half hour."

She stalked off to her room. "If you get in Big Time Rush, the first thing we are getting with that money, is a new window!" she called over her shoulder.

TWO HOURS LATER AT L.A INTL AIRPORT

We hoisted our suitcases into the back of the cab.

I have to admit, L.A was a seriously beautiful city.

Blinding, gleaming sun, pure white beaches with water that's practically see-through, and palm trees around every turn. And lots of designer boutiques and coffee shops that hosted free wi-fi.

Soon we arrived at the Palmwoods, a large, and luxorious hotel near a glowing bay.

We headed over towards the front desk. A chubby man with stubby brown hair and a nametag that read Mr. Bitters checked us in and read over the hotel rules to us.

"No wandering the corridors after 12:00 am, no loud noises or disturbing other guests, and NO PARTIES!" he ended with a loud shout.

We stared at him. "Now, unless you have any questions, enjoy your stay and have a Palmwoods day." he said fake-cheerily, tossing us our key and waving us off.

Wow. What an asshole. No wonder he's called Mr. Bitters. I hope everyone isn't that rude.

I shook my head to clear it and followed Mama Knight and Kendall to our room.

I looked down at our room key and saw that we were room 246.

Finally we got to it and I twisted the key and walked inside.

I stopped in front of the door and surveyed the room.

All I can say is...ew. This by far, is the nastiest hotel room I've ever had the misfortune of staying in.

Even worse than the one dad rented for our vacation in Florida 6 years ago.

There was a huge chocolate milk stain on the rug right in plain sight, and there was a huge hole in the wall, and the couch looked about ready to fall over.

There was no way in hell I was staying in this dump.

"Mom, what happened to the really nice hotel room you showed us online?" I sao carefully and Kendall nodded along.

"Well, maybe this is just a mix up sweetie." she said brightly.

I groaned and me and Kendall slumped down defeatedly onto the filthy moth-bitten couch.

"I'll run down to the front desk and see if they messed our room up, you two stay here and don't move." she said sternly.

As soon as she left, closing the door behind her I got up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going? Mama Knight said stay here." Kendall asked in a very parental voice.

I sighed, annoyed. "Would you just relax? I'm just going to check out the Palmwoods pool, I heard it was amazing." I said leaving Kendall behind and heading into the elevator.

Standing next to me in the boxed in room was a pretty girl with beach-blond hair, and soft blue eyes.

Her eyes were downcast towards a script that clearly read: New Town High.

Suddenly she looked up at me and smiled.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there, I'm Jo Taylor." the blond said, sticking her hand out in a friendly gesture.

I grinned back. "Katie Knight." I said shaking her hand.

"So, your new to the Palmwoods?" she asked, politely.

"Yeah, anything a newbie should know about his place?" I asked casually.

"Well, everyone here is here because of a special talent they have like singing, dancing, acting, or playing an instrument." Jo explained.

By this time the elevator had stopped at the lobby and we were both making our way to the pool.

"Who's that?" I pointed curiously at a good-looking teenage boy about Kendall's age, poised in front of a mirror.

"Oh him, that's Jett Stetson, my co-actor for my TV show New Town High, where I play Rachel." she said.

"But he's totally full of himself so if I were you I would not bother falling for him." she said quickly.

I laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not really into having a relationship right now." I said with a small smile.

"And that" she said pointing to a curly haired girl in a witch costume "is Camille Roberts, the Palmwoods drama queen, a.k.a my best friend." she said gazing at her friend from across the room.

"Is she on New Town High with you?" I ask innocently.

"Camille? No, she is usually auditioning for blockbuster movies and small parts in TV shows." Jo replied.

Jo then introduced me to Guitar Dude (guitar playing songwriter hoping to make it big), the Jennifers (three bitch actresses all with the same name), Dak Zevon (singer who all teenagers adore).

Finally we both plopped down on pool chairs for some L.A sun.

The Palmwoods pool turned out to be as amazing as the website said. The pool was pretty big and the poolside chairs were nice.

I picked my head up and noticed three guys sitting by themselves all on identical beachchairs, also catching some rays.

"Jo, who are they?" I asked pointing to the boys.

"Oh, they're Big Time Rush, a totally hot new band that consists of Logan, Carlos, and James. I heard they were looking for a fourth band member." Jo said laying back down on het chair to tan.

Oh so that's what Kendall was auditioning for. Those three losers sitting by themselves at the Palmwoods pool.

Logan appeared to be absorbed in reading a college physics textbook on a bench near the entrance.

Carlos was shirtless and was swimming happily in the Palmwoods pool.

James was taking his shirt off and revealing a strong 6-pack on his torso.

I gaped. So maybe he was a celebrity jerkface and stuff but he did look kind of hot...

Katie! Snap out of it! What the hell are you talking about? If you give him your heart you know he'll break it into a million bajillion pieces.

A blond girl wearing a pink bikini way to low to be legal came over and started rubbing suntan lotion all over James' six pack.

Bitch. Wow, what asshole of a guy is this vulnerable? And, what girl is this flaunty and desperate? Hollywood is full of shit.

Just then, Kendall raced down and slid into the chair next to me.

"You abandoned Mama Knight too?" I said, raising my eyebrows at him.

"Yup, and lemme' tell you, when Mama Knight came back up to our room, she was pissed, it turns out that this IS the correct room and we are staying in it." Kendall said, in a glum voice.

"Are you actually serious Kendall? Man, this godamn town just keeps gettin better and better." I grumbled angrily.

I noticed Jo looking between the two of us uncomfortably. Shit. I forgot she wasn't used to the the Kendall-Katie fun arguments yet.

"Hey Jo, sorry about that, this is my older brother Kendall." I said with a smile.

I noticed that Kendall was staring at her. And not in the 'what the hell is wrong with you?' way. More like in the 'hey I'm checking you out' way.

"Yeah seeya later guys, I'm going to get something from the snack machine." I said turning and getting up.

Once I got to the snack machine I emptied my pockets for loose change or some bills. Lucky day, a quarter which will get me some...Fruit Smackers.

Yum. I started to put my quarter in the slot when it was readily snatched out of my hand. I looked up to see who the stealer was and it was none other than Mr. James-Diamond-I'm-too-perfect-for-shit.

James smiled cheesily and said "Here little sweetie I'll put it in for you." he then put the quarter in himself, an easy task that I coud've done myself.

What a weirdo. Yeah, if he thinks I'm stupid enough to fall for him just becuase he put my fucking quarter in the slot for me, think again.

I grabbed my Fruit Smackers from the bottom slot and turned my back on this asshole.

I gave him my best 'what the hell is wrong with you' stare and started to walk back towards the pool when he ran and caught up to me again.

"Um...yeah...why are you walking away?" he yelled at me in a loud voice.

Looks like somebody isn't used to rejection.

"Now that I have my snack from the vending machine, I'm walking away." I explained in a tone often used to explain things to a child.

"Yeah but, didn't you see what I did there?" he said in a well-duh tone of voice.

"Oh? You mean put my quartar in the slot for me? Thank you for that, by the way." I said pushing past him, his face dumbstruck and frozen.

Now, I know back at the vending machine he was just trying to make a move on me, a very cheesy move, but still, a move all the same.

But you know what? I'm not like all the dumbass girls at this hotel. I wouldn't fall for somebody just because they have a six pack or because of they're looks.

I believe that love takes time and to have true love you just have to wait and see what life gives you instead plunging headfirst into a silly relationship.

Besides, until I was back safely in Minnesota, I wasn't taking any chances with a relationship.

I made my way back to the pool and saw Kendall get up and walk away from Jo telling her that he would see her later.

I plopped down on yeh chair next to Jo an saw her looking at the direction Kendall had just come.

"You like him?" I say raising my eyebrows at her daydreaming face.

"Would it be wrong if I did?" she joked.

"No, Kendall is a really great guy and he's been going through a lot these few years and I think a relationship is just what he needs." I say sweetly.

"You think?" Jo asks hopefully.

"I know." I say with a smile.

It's good to see one of the two of us (me and Kendall) will be busy with a relationship.

I sighed. L.A sun, help me now.

-Kendall's POV-

Talking with Jo had made me feel a lot better about Hollywood. A lot better about my audition tommorow.

I told her about my audition tommorow and she asked me what song I was going to sing.

I told her Big Time Rush's original song, BTR. she nodded, encouraging me to sing a verse.

Make it count,
play it straight Don't look back, don't hesitate When you roll,
Big Time.

I sang, unaware of the whole pool staring at me in admiration.

When I stopped at the first verse she smiled and looked really happy.

"Kendall, your voice is...amazing." she said sweetly.

She immediatly bulshed after realizing she had just complimented me.

"Thanks." I said, truthfully.

Just then I recieved a text from Mama Knight to come up to help unpack.

I waved good by to Jo and told her I'd see her later.

Maybe this would turn out for me after all.
