I've been really stuck on what to write for this chapter, so I'm sorry I haven't updated!

Btw, if you were wondering, the following characters look like this:

Rebecca: prettytumblrgirlsDOTtumblrDO Tcom/image/25982695055

Lauren: prettytumblrgirlsDOTtumblrDO Tcom/image/25984268954

Emilia: prettytumblrgirlsDOTtumblrDO Tcom/post/3268692210/floraison-gpoy

Yeah, so there you go.


The morning after our 'guy's night out', I was the first to wake up. I pulled on my jeans and a red tank top and raided the kitchen cupboards for food. Unfortunately for me, I found nothing. I grabbed a pair of sunglasses and headed towards the local supermarket. It felt warmer outside and I enjoyed the sunny walk across the block. Plus, it was nice to get away from the Palmwoods. Big Time Rush, as a band, had been there for a little while now. And yes, staying there had its benefits like the pool and the cute girls... but sharing an apartment with three other guys plus Kendall's mom and sister wasn't exactly the penthouse I'd always dreamed of.

As I walked through the supermarket doors, I lowered my sunglasses slightly. Secretly, I had hoped that I'd bump into Rebecca. She'd been popping up all over the place and I was always bumping into her so I had hoped...

Sadly, she wasn't there.

I headed towards the cereals and grabbed some Cocoa Crunch. I paid and started back towards the Palmwoods. I hoped I could get back inside before Kendall's mom woke up. She hadn't really agreed to let us go out the night before. She had said that it was far too dangerous to be out that late at night and as our current legal guardian (as she had put it); it was her job to look after us and make sure we were okay. Letting us run around the neighbourhood getting drunk wasn't exactly what she had in mind for us. But, after we covered the lobby in foam (purposefully), pranked everyone in the pool by turning the water yellow as though someone had peed (also purposefully) and knocking over Mama Knight's favourite orange lamp (accidentally) we were allowed to go.

Anyway, she was really annoyed when we came back at two in the morning and woke her up. If I woke her up when I went back inside, I would officially be toast. As I crept back inside I checked to see if the coast was clear. I quietly walked over to the kitchen and got myself some Cocoa Crunch I'd just bought.

Kendall strode in with a beaming smile and said "Sup' James?! I had an awesome time last night! God man, those girls." he laughed. "Get up to anything last night James? Me and Lauren..."

I ran over to him at the speed of light and shoved my hand over his mouth before he could say anything else. "Kendall," I whispered slowly, "You're mom."

He gasped, slowly turning around to look at me. He mouthed a silent "Shit." at me before creeping over to his mom's room. He listened for a moment, trying to make out whether she was sleeping or not. Once he looked back and gave me thumbs up I sat down on the sofa and whipped out my phone.

J: U n Lauren...?

K: Did nothin

I literally dropped my phone when I read his reply. Luckily I swiftly caught it, (which was a pretty amazing catch to be honest). I looked up at him and he started laughing quietly to himself. I typed furiously.

J: Wtf? Dude, I swear tht lyk 5 mins ago u was all "Me and Lauren did this..."?

K: Logan's up. I can hear him movin. I wantd to sound lyk he wasn't the only 1 who got sum action!

J: Then y didn't u say?! I thought I was the only 1 who didn't get any 4 a min!

Kendall looked up at me for a second with a blank expression before quickly typing a reply.

K: I thought Litos was tlkin to his cuz?

Just as I read this message, Mama Knight came out of her room, yawning. She smiled sleepily, patting Kendall on the shoulder and heading towards the kitchen. I looked at Kendall quizzically but he just shrugged. Oh well, at least she wasn't moody.

Eventually, when Carlos and Logan finally decided to get up, we decided to head out to the pool. As we took our usual spots, I turned to Carlos. "So what did you do last night?" I asked him.

He jumped up suddenly and then turned to look at us. "Okay, you will never guess what! I bumped into my cousin last night!" He shouted excitedly.

"Is that the one you used to share the bath with?" Logan asked.

Several girls turned around to look at Carlos and giggled. "No!" he said, sitting back down. He then leaned closer to Logan and whispered, "You promised we'd never speak of that again!"

"Dude, you were saying...?"

"Oh yeah, right. Well, my cousin's moving here from New York. She was saying something about 'following her dreams and letting her inner creative shine'. I think she wants to be a writer or something."

"Is that it?" I asked. Ugh, just when I thought that she'd done something exciting.

"What does she look like?" I asked him. He whipped out his phone and showed me a picture of this girl: wwwDOTpolyvoreDOTcom/summer_picture_clipped_lindsey/thing?id=20630952 Kendall whistled. Logan blinked twice. I gulped. Okay, Carlos' cousin was super hot.

"And you said she moved here?" I questioned him.

"Erm, yeah. She moved here a couple of days ago."

I got up from my position on the chair and stood in front of the guys. "I think that it's time this Casanova worked his magic. Where has your cousin moved to?" I asked Carlos.

He gave me the address and I sped over there as quickly as Carlos' car would let me. As I walked towards his cousin's apartment, I tried to plan what I would say in my head. Hey, I'm James. I seem to have lost my phone and my number, can I have yours? Oh my god, that one was lame. My friend says you're hot, but I guess you have to see it to believe it. Turns out he was wrong. You're not hot, you're smokin'.

These were all way too cheesy. These were all way too cliché. But as I knocked on her door, it seemed I didn't have to worry too much. The door opened and there stood the most beautiful girl in the e world. Holy shit. She was wearing a tight tank top and some shorts. Her hair was loose and wavy around her shoulders and her skin was evenly tanned. She looked at me and I watched as a look of realization crossed her eyes. She smiled.

"Hi, you must be Carlos' friend." She laughed, "He did text me to say to expect a surprise visitor."

Okay, so Carlos had this girl's number and he didn't think to give it to me? I mean, he must have known she was hot. Reminder: must ask for her number off of Carlos when I get home.

"Yeah. He was just telling me how beautiful you are but I had to find out for myself." My swag was in full swing. I was feeling good, and I was looking good. She was going to like me and I was going to make sure of it.

She blushed, "Oh aren't you a gentlemen! I was in the middle of a film but I'd love some company. Want to come in?"

Oh yes. Mr Casanova Diamond was working his magic. She was going to melt like butter on hot fudge. "Alright then." I said, stepping inside. Her door closed quietly behind me. She smiled as I sat down on her couch. She turned off the TV and sat down next me.

"So, what exactly has Carlos said about me?" she asked, raising one eyebrow slightly.

"You know, just that you two bumped into each other last night." I smiled, "And of course he described to me how perfect you are. And I've got to say, he was right."

Again, she blushed and looked down at her feet. "Yeah, it was a real surprise to see him last night. Last I'd heard he'd gone off to be part of some boy band. I haven't really seen him since." she sighed. "I wonder if the guys from his singing group thing are as great as they sound," she looked up, "I really liked the sound of that James one, he sounds hot."

As she said this, my mind began its own celebratory dance. However, my face stayed the same. I nodded in agreement as she continued, "Carlos did say he'd take me to meet them someday this week and I'm really looking forward to it. Have you met them?"

I chuckled, "Yeah, as a matter of fact, I have. You're right, that James guy is really good looking. God, if only I could be him..."

She smiled, "Relax, I bet you're better looking than he is. Have you looked in the mirror lately?"

It appeared this girl liked me already. And she had no idea that I was the James she'd been daydreaming about. This could only end well. "Have you?" I smiled and winked.

We talked for another couple of hours. We talked about everything and yet we talked about nothing in particular. I learnt that her name was Liana, she was around the same age as me and she'd moved to LA to become a writer. She said she wrote scripts for TV shows, which I thought was pretty awesome.

"You know, when this becomes a real show and you need to start auditioning people, I'll be happy to play the lead." I suggested, jokingly, after reading some of her stuff.

"I'll call you and let you know if you get the part." she laughed.

"Is that so? And how will you call me if you don't have my number?" I asked.

With that, she grabbed a pen and stuck out her arm. "I suppose you'd better give it to me then."

I gave her my best look of concern. "Don't you have any paper that I can write on instead?"

She shook her head, "This way I'll remember you gave it to me."

After I'd scribbled my number across my arm, I stood up. "It was really nice to meet you. Remember to call me!" I said as I headed towards the door.

"Oh, don't worry, I will."


As I walked into 2J, all three heads turned around to face me. "And where exactly have you been?" Kendall asked.

"Oh, you know, here there and everywhere." I said as I walked towards the couch they were sitting on.

"I thought you went to see my cousin?" Carlos asked.

"Oh yeah!" Logan said, "Did you stay with her the whole afternoon?"

"Maybe," I said, "Maybe not."

"You know Carlos," Kendall stood up, "I think our dear friend James has a little crush on your favourite cousin."

"Oh, no no no. Liana and I are just friends. And I mean, I hardly know her. And she doesn't even know my name. She thinks I'm Carlos' friend from down the hall. Boy, when she meets Big Time Rush, she's going to be in for a shock!" I said as I slumped down to where Kendall was previously sitting and placed my arms behind my head. "And she so wants me."

"Dude, don't talk about my cousin like that!" Carlos glared at me.

"Fine, next time I talk about how hot she is, I'll make sure you're not here to listen. But you know that it's probably true." I smirked.

"Hey, by the way, did you make up with Rebecca?" Logan asked.

"Oh, yeah." It seemed my make-up with Rebecca had completely slipped my mind. I'd forgotten to tell the guys, and know that I was thinking about it, I'd completely forgotten all about her for the whole day. Usually, she's on my mind from when I wake up to when I go to sleep. Hmm.

"Good, I was hoping you would. You and Rebecca have been friends since forever. She was your next-door neighbour since you were what, five? It would've been really weird if you two hadn't of made up." Kendall said.

It was true. I'd known Rebecca for almost as long as I could remember. And when I moved to LA with the guys to be in Big Time Rush, she was really upset. Luckily, she got her big break when she got a scholarship to a dance academy not too far from the Palmwoods. It really would have been stupid if we hadn't of made up!

"Guys, do you mind if I put the TV on? The new mathematics game show starts at seven." Logan asked.

"Oh no, you have got to be kidding me." Carlos said, as he stole the remote.
