DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big Time Rush...

A/N: Just to avoid confusion, Chapter 2 onwards would be centering on what happened before Lily's fiancé went home that night.

III. The plan

Kendall's eyes widened as he go through the pictures that James had placed at the center of the table. There was one of Jo having her make up done on the set of her sitcom, another was of her being harnessed for a scene. Another was of Katie going down of her car at the parking of te University's Library. Camille had pictures in there too, mostly taken at the set of her film. There was even one of her munching on a donut at her favorite bakery.

But all those pictures were nothing compared to that of Lily's. It was if her while eating, working out and even taking a dip in the pool. And to make matters worse, all were taken at her very own home.

The blonde front man watched as Carlos lifted his eyes from the photos and read the menu instead. He was trying his best not to smash anything. Although by the looks of it, at any moment he would be sending the menu flying all across the diner. Logan's reaction was no better either. At the corner of his eye he saw him clenching his jaw and his body tensing up. His fist clenched tightly and ready to strike at anytime.

Across from him, James was holding his coffee mug a little too tight. And if his grip would me any more tighter coffee would surely spill all around. One might find it odd that he is reacting this way. Sure Katie is like a little sister to him, Jo is a good fried, and he dated Camille for a while. Other than that, he does not really have any deeper ties than any of them.

But there is actually one thing that Kendall knows, and he alone would ever know. Behind the pretty boy's playboy facade hides a heart. A heart that had only beat once, and might not beat again.

...Flashback...

"I think I'm in love..." James said dreamily as he walk into the kitchen of apartment 2J where Kendall is having some snack. He almost spit the food in his mouth upon hearing his friend's claim.

"You? In love? Oh please..." Kendall said with a laugh. "But in all fairness to you, in all the years that I've known you this is actually like the first time you have ever admitted, or even said you are in love"

"Cause it's true..." the brunette said as he grab himself a glass of water. He then started gazing no where and smiling like a fool.

"Do I know her?" the blonde asked, he is now getting curious at who was the girl that captured his friends heart, although a part of him is suggesting this might be just another phase.

"Oh, you know her very very well..."

"Let me guess... Camille?" he guessed. Though he doubt it, Carlos and Camille is dating for almost a year now. But still who knows, right?

"Nope... Besides, he's dating Carlos now. You know I don't meddle with a friend's girlfriend" James replied.

"Obviously it's not Jo as well... Hmmm" Kendall said. For a while he thought of all the girls they know. Names popped in his mind, but only a few of them he really very, very well. Thinking it's better it came from him he just decided to ask. "So, who is it then?"

"Kendall my friend, I James Loouus Diamond is in love with-"

"Guys, it's official! Lily is now my girlfriend!" Logan screamed as he barged into the house, interrupting whatever James was saying. The two of them watched their friend as he jumped up and down, kinda reminding them of Carlos every time they'd have a new video game. Then crashing sound was heard. Turned out that James had 'dropped' his glass.

"You okay man?" Kendall asked as he helped his friend picked up the scattered pieces of broken glass.

"As much as I want to help you guys, I still need to update my relationship status..." Logan said before rushing upstairs.

"I'm fine" James plainly replied. His expression suddenly turned glum. Kendall was to question him more, but it already mhit him before he could do so. It was Lily, James is in love with Lily Dempsey.

...End...

A sound of a fist coming in hitting the table interrupted Kendall from his thoughts. Like he expected it was Logan, not being able to hold his anger anymore.

"You know what? That's it... I've had enough!" Logan said. "First, Bernard Sanders. Now these?" he then crossed his arms over his chest, his face almost turning red.

"Bernard Sanders?" asked James. Sure he knows who the guy was, he was there when he showed up a few years back when Lily was just new at Palm Woods. He would leave lilies by her door, only they were dead. As if suggesting that next time, the Lily lying dead would be her.

"No one told you?" said Carlos, a little surprise. Aside from Logan, Lily had always been close to James. A big factor might be because they have a lot in common, having over-expecting parents would just be one. Another was their low self-esteem due to things they had encountered since childhood.

"No," he replied. He can't help but feel betrayed. She had promised him she would tell her the instant he comes back and threaten her, that she would not be scared and let him get into her. He promised to protect her, but how could he when he was clueless of the situation. "You guys hadn't mentioned anything..." he added, a little more to himself. His friends gave him apologetic looks, which he all accepted with a nod.

"So, what's the plan?" asked Kendall. The fighter in him starting to arise. It had been a while since he had been in a fight, no wonder he was kind of looking excited right now.

"Simple, we're taking each one of them down" Logan said like it was like the most obvious thing on earth. "Starting with the one we surely know of, Bernard Sanders"

A/N: Now, Lily's fiancé is finally revealed...

Who is Bernard Sanders?

Why does he wants to destroy Lily so bad?

Any suggestions, reactions and constructive criticism are very much welcome :))
