A/N: For those of you who were wondering, the story title, The Boy Is Mine, is named after a song by Brandy and Monica. Also, Jenny Tinkler is not an OC. She was mentioned in and appeared in the BTR pilot episode "Big Time Audition." Jenny was the petit blonde who said that she was the next Gwen Stefani.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Big Time Rush. C'mon. I push carts for a living. Do you really think I could own Big Time Rush? I didn't think so… "The Reason" is a song by Hoobastank.

The Boy Is Mine

Chapter 3-Back to Square One

"Jenny Tinkler is not…" Carlos started to say.

Logan made a throat slit gesture. When Stephanie and Camille looked at him in confusion, he merely laughed nervously, and gave them a boyish grin.

"…going to like that two girls are fighting over her man!" Carlos finished, improvising on the spot.

Camille strode over to Logan with a purpose. The only thing he could do was brace himself for the inevitable impact. The next thing he knew, he fell victim to a dreaded Camille slap.

"How could you? You had a girlfriend back home and you didn't even bother to tell me?" Camille hollered, her eyes brimming with tears.

The sad part was that Logan wasn't even sure if Camille was genuinely crying, or if she was just being her usual overly dramatic self. It was often hard to tell with her.

Camille stormed off, and everyone in the lobby could hear her bawl her eyes out as she left. Logan went to massage his sore cheek, but the slightest movement of his shoulders caused him immense pain. That was an unfortunate side effect of two girls playing tug-of-war with you. Literally.

"I'm going to check on Camille, and make sure she's okay," Jo said before leaving the lobby as well.

Whereas Camille was clearly distraught over this new revelation, Stephanie was…smiling? What the heck? She walked over to Logan and placed a hand on his chest. He was uncomfortably nervous being so close to the new girl. Never mind the fact that she was touching him.

"If you think that having a girlfriend here and back in Minnesota is going to scare me off, then you have another thing coming. As I told what's-her-face, the fact that you're taken doesn't bother me the slightest. In fact, I love a good challenge," Stephanie said before she too left the lobby.

Logan did a double take in response to what Stephanie had said. Well, the good news was that Stephanie didn't seem to be mad at him. The bad news was that she wasn't finished with him yet, apparently. That didn't work out the way it was supposed to.

When the coast was clear, Kendall, James, and Carlos decided to confront Logan about his little white lie.

"Dude, what was that?" Kendall asked.

"Yeah, Jenny Tinkler isn't your girlfriend! She was never a girlfriend to any of us," James added.

"I know," Logan said simply.

"Then why did you lie? That's not like you at all," Carlos commented.

"I freaked out, okay? I didn't want to choose between Camille and Stephanie. Do you realize how impossible of a choice that is? So I lied about having a girlfriend so I wouldn't have to choose," Logan explained.

Big Time Rush's resident worry wart slipped away without another word before the other band members could continue with their impromptu interrogation. Logan's plan worked…for the most part. So then why did he feel so bad?

As Kendall, James, and Carlos watched their friend leave the lobby, their heart went out to him. Logan dragged his feet behind him, and his head hung low. They had never seen him look so…defeated.

Jo entered Camille's apartment just in time to see her tear Logan off the band's Pop Tiger group photo on her wall. She proceeded to crumple Logan's picture up and throw it in the trash can. Jo quietly shut the door behind her.

"Camille, are you okay?" Jo asked, hesitantly.

Camille had tears streaming down her cheeks, and just her luck, she wasn't wearing waterproof mascara. There were tear streaks on her face, and she wouldn't be surprised if she had raccoon eyes. Her nose was runny, but she didn't care enough to blow her nose; just like she didn't care enough to dry her incessant tears.

"Do I look okay?" Camille snapped.

She noticed that Jo looked a bit taken aback by her outburst.

"I'm sorry. I'm not mad at you, okay?" Camille said.

"I know," Jo replied.

"You would think he learned his lesson the last time! But no! He had to go and lie to me too! If I had known he was unavailable, I wouldn't have got so hung up on him."

"About that, he's lying Camille. About having a girlfriend in Minnesota, I mean. Kendall's never mentioned anything about Logan having a girlfriend back home, and Kendall is Logan's best friend. Besides, I happen to know for a fact that he didn't want to choose between you and Stephanie. I know this because he came to us for advice while you and Stephanie were going at it."

Camille sniffled as she glared at Jo accusingly.

"What did you tell him?" Camille asked.

"I told him to choose you, of course!" Jo replied, holding her hands up innocently.

"Yet he still lied about having a girlfriend! That's just great!"

An awkward and uncomfortable silence filled the room.

"I know you don't want to hear this, but I can't really fault Logan for making up a girlfriend. I did the same thing when the four of them were fighting over me. He probably just panicked," Jo stated.

Camille turned her back on her best friend. That was definitely the wrong thing to say. Jo was supposed to be her best friend. She was supposed to have her back, no matter what.

"Just give him a second chance," Jo said.

"This was his second chance!" Camille retorted.

"Then give him a third chance. You and I both know that no matter what, you are crazy about that boy."

Camille closed her eyes as she thought about what Jo had said. She was mad at Logan, yes. However, she wasn't ready to let go of Logan yet. In fact, she couldn't imagine her life without him in it. Camille wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She headed for the front door.

"You're right," Camille said.

"Where are you going?" Jo questioned.

"2J."

The rest of Big Time Rush entered apartment 2J. After searching the premises, they couldn't find any trace of Logan. They knew he couldn't be at the pool because he would have to go through the lobby to get to the pool, and they hadn't seen him since he left the lobby.

"Logan? Are you here?" Kendall called out.

Kendall, James, and Carlos started to become really worried when they received no answer. They thought maybe he ran away, but none of his belongings were missing.

Then, Logan entered apartment 2J. He looked like an entirely different person. Before, he looked so down and depressed. Now, he looked happy, and was he smiling? He had an all too familiar look on his face. Kendall and the others had seen that expression enough over the years they've known Logan; it was the look on his face he got when he came up with a brilliant plan, and it was all starting to come together. But it couldn't have been more than ten minutes since they saw Logan leave the Palm Woods lobby, so what changed?

"You guys, I figured out how to win her back," Logan gushed.

"How?" Carlos asked.

"Win who back?" Kendall inquired.

Kendall, James, and Carlos, were baffled because Logan was practically halfway out the front door when he replied, "There's no time to explain. When the night sky is full of stars, make sure she comes out to the balcony of her apartment. I'll be down by the pool. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to finish my preparations."

Logan closed the door behind him, and the rest of Big Time Rush had more questions than answers. Those instructions weren't vague or anything…

"At least he isn't moping anymore," Carlos commented.

"Yeah, remember the incident when Logan was seven? I think Logan didn't stop crying for one whole week!" James added.

"Guys! Focus!" Kendall exclaimed.

"Right," Carlos and James responded simultaneously.

Each of the three boys was mentally trying to decipher Logan's cryptic instructions. They couldn't help but notice that he seemed to have left out all the important details. That was very uncharacteristic of Logan.

"Well, obviously the girl he wants to come out to the balcony of her apartment is Stephanie," Carlos stated.

"No way, man! It's Camille!" James replied.

Both teenagers turned their heads toward Kendall. Their unofficial leader. His input would be the tie breaker. After all, whenever the boys found themselves in sticky situations, they always looked to Kendall for plans and schemes to help get them out of said sticky situations.

"I don't know which girl Logan was talking about. To be honest, I think both girls scare him in their own way. Just to be on the safe side, we better ask them both to go out to the balcony of their apartment when the stars come out tonight," Kendall said.

Later on, it was a beautiful starry California night. Just like Logan said he would, he was waiting poolside. He was dressed in formal attire. He was in a black tuxedo jacket, white tuxedo shirt, red cummerbund, red bowtie, black dress slacks, black socks, and black dress shoes.

He saw Camille go out to the balcony of her apartment on the fourth floor. Just as Logan was about to initiate what he had planned, he noticed that Stephanie was out on the balcony of her apartment on the fourth floor. Ironically, her apartment was two floors directly above Camille's. What are the odds?

Logan took a moment to take a deep breath. Then he started serenading both girls a Capella. The song choice was one that caught both girls off guard because it wasn't something that was in Logan's wheelhouse. It also wasn't anything at all like the songs Big Time Rush usually sings.

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with every day

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

After Logan finished, Stephanie and Camille both thought he had serenaded her. Camille had no idea Stephanie was out on the balcony of her apartment two floors above her. Similarly, Stephanie had no idea Camille was out on the balcony of her apartment two floors below her. Logan serenading them under the stars was the most romantic gesture any boy had ever done for them, and just like that, all of his transgressions were forgotten.

Meanwhile, Logan groaned inwardly. He just could not catch a break.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Um, so yeah…this chapter had less humor in it than the first two. Like I said, I really wish I could label this story as THREE genres, but alas, I can't. Also, this should be about as often as I update—once a week. Ideally, I would sit at home on my computer and write fanfiction all day every day, but realistically, that isn't even close to being a possibility. Oh, and I started a C2 community for Logan/Camille fics. If you are interested in being a part of my staff, just PM me (or you could let me know in a review too ;) ) I'll need all the help I can get. I'm not entirely pleased with this chapter, but I REALLY wanted to get it updated before I went to work today, so…Thank you so much for your support!
