Thanks to:
BigTimeFan50- Yes, James seems to be appearing a lot in my story right now, maybe Echo just wants something from her 'old life' before everything went wrong. Maybe Kendall does still love her, I'd love to tell you but it would just ruin everything for you. I'm really happy you've seen the main thing I wanted to show in Echo as the months go by, she's maturing and when they all reunite properly…well, I haven't figured that out yet, but still, it's going to be something. Thanks for reviewing : )
WantToBeSomebody- Aha, thank you! I hope you like this chapter and thanks for the review : )
Anon- Yup, Lisa is back and she still despises Echo, will Echo finally say something to her? Thanks for the review : )
SWACGleekFreak- Yeah, she's okay… for now… Aha, I haven't figured out the whole reuniting part yet! Thanks for the review : )
WonderlandGirl1457- Please don't punch a wall! You could hurt yourself, I've done I before and I broke my hand, it's not a good idea! Thanks for the review : )
WhisperInTheRain- Thank you, here's the update, enjoy!
TheClaire24- Thank you for seeing that about Jett, I want everyone to see him in a decent light. Well, Echo has matured and doesn't want to be a 'pushover' anymore. I'm glad you like Echo and Asha's relationship and don't worry, there's a whole load more of Griffin being a freaking amazing dad. Aha, I forgot about Lisa too, so this chapter is improvised greatly! Lisa never cared, so would she care about Echo now? Does she have a reason not to care? Don't worry, there's loads more drama to come, trust me! Thanks for the lovely review : )
otaku- Aha, thank you. I'm glad you liked it! Here's the next chapter for you, I hope you like this one : )
Green-NaNa-Neko89- Aha, you're starting to predict my drama, that's not good. Maybe I should throw a curveball and get you really surprised… It's funny that you pick up on the little things with Jo, don't tell anyone, but what you've said about Jo, is totally true and where I aim to take the story ; ) yeah, I hate rushing things but this is a BTR fiction for a reason. Aww, how did your computer break? I'm flattered that you still give me and amazing review, regardless. Thank you! : )
xKiki . Bonn- Hello again! Aha, well all that matters is you're back reviewing now! Aha, the twists are just going to keep coming, I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve yet to come, believe me. I know, I love Carlos, he's too adorable to words and I hate making him seem like a bad guy, it just doesn't feel right. Yeah, she's gone through a lotta shit, like you said but the key thing is that she's matured from the whole experience which will definitely show in future 'events' and some people in the story are going to be very aware just how much she has changed. I'll tell you now, Big Time Rush aren't going to break up, I just couldn't do that. I just want to show that even though the guys left and made it seem that they disliked her –apart from James- she left a bigger mark on all of them then they'd all like to admit. I hope you like this chapter and thanks for the epic review : )
whatIfeel- Yeah, I updated again, and now I'm responding again! Well I don't want Jett to seem too evil, he is a genuine guy, it's just whether the two are actually suited to each other. Yeah, I love how you pick up on the little thing of mentioning Jo Taylor, yeah, she's coming into the story and she's obsessed with one person in particular, I'm sure you'll be able to guess soon. Camille is truly a nice person at heart, she was just confused and ignorant to what she was actually doing and the effect it would have. Don't worry, it's all going to come out with Camille and New Town High, it will be explained over the next few chapters. Maybe Jett reminds Echo of James because she wants to hold on a little part of her 'old life' before it all went wrong. Don't worry, a lot of drama is in store, I promise. Here's the chapter you wanted, so here you are! And thanks for the birthday message, I appreciate it! Thanks for the review : )
socoolio- Thank you, thank you, thank you! Aha, Jett is genuine, I promise it's just to whether he is a rebound or if Echo and Jett actually suit each other. Maybe he reminds her of James because she wans to hold on to what little piece of her 'old life' that is there? Well, you wanted some more BTR action so you've got it and a lot of it! Don't worry, the whole Camille and New Town High thing is going to be explained over the next few chapters. Yeah, Jo Taylor, that's just one of my many dramatic twists just waiting to happen ; ) I haven't even written most of the story, in all honesty I'm just making it up as I go along, aha! So I hope you like this chapter and thanks for the great review : )
le trolling girl- Aha, I hoped it was worth the wait! And I hope your still alive to read this chapter ; ) thanks for the review!
Gigi- Aha, I don't deserve any thanks for keeping the story going, really. Camille needs to be back in Echo's life, she needs a rock that stabilizes her, someone she can truly trust that isn't her family. Echo realized the importance of family all over again and just how important Griffin is to her, he is a true father now. Jett has a soft side, Echo's craving to see vulnerability because she's been so vulnerable that she wants to reassure herself that she's still strong. There's a lot more unexpected things to come, believe me. Katie and Asha both have nothing to do with what Kendall did, there's going to be a confrontation between Katie and Echo in a few chapters. Lisa needs to show how she feels about the situation –or lack of feelings- and Echo finally needs to realize that Lisa is no mother and she should stop fooling herself that she will just disappear, because she won't. Aha, thank you so much! And thanks for the review, it's appreciated! : )
StuckAt9.99- aha, thank you but I'm not that amazing, really! The pill doesn't always work though, does it? And earlier in the story it does say that Echo forgot to take the pill a few days of the week regularly which doesn't really make the pill effective whatsoever. No you're not, because to be honest I don't really like them together… and Jo just has to come into this story just to add more drama! Yeah, the guys are on the rocks and continuing to argue. Thanks for the review : )
Random Kat- Thank you for the review : )
Seliiia- Yup, trouble is on the way. Yeah, Jo is Jett's ex and Echo meets Jo in this chapter. Well, there is a little thing between James and Echo coming up, so keep your fingers crossed. I respect your opinion for James and Echo and I think you'll be happy to know that I'm writing a story about James and an OC character right now and I think that it's better than this one. Well, Echo meets Jo in this chapter and Echo has to constantly keep in mind that she has matured and is not a violent teenager that would willingly get into a fight with a girl over a guy and over her own jealousy. Here's the next chapter and thanks for the review : )
whoopsiedaisy- Aha thank you, it's actually my birthday today! I hope you enjoy this chapter and thank you for the review : )
TheCooliest- Yeah, Lisa is here and things are going to start to go down. Well, you asked for some Big Time Rush and you've got some Big Time Rush, I've put some more 3rd POV of the guys in there so enjoy it : ) Well, it's revealed in this chapter about the whole fiasco of Echo being in hospital, a lot of drama. Yeah, the pill isn't 100% effective and in the story Echo admits she hasn't been taking the pill all the time and has been missing out a few days which pretty much makes the pill not actually effective whatsoever. Don't worry, there are a lot of Kecho fans out there, I'm still not sure who to pair Echo up with yet, so it could go any way! Thanks for the review : )
So I'm back responding! This week has been busy but I've managed to get something together. Things are definitely going to get more dramatic and now not only are there Jecho and Kecho fans but now we've got Jetto fans, too!
When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said,
No final kiss to seal any seams,
I had no idea of the state we were in,
Don't You Remember- Adele
Her hair was bleached an even lighter blonde than before, her eyebrows were thick with pencil, her face was orange, her talons wrapped around a coffee mug and she was wearing a summer dress with heels, even though it was the start of winter.
"Lisa." I said, tension was multiplying in the room already, I knew Griffin could sense it but he didn't say anything, he just put the kettle on and grabbed the newspaper off the counter and sat down next to Asha at the island.
"How are you?" Her voice made it seemed she was generally concerned but her eyes and demeanor said otherwise, she stared enviously at my new body and sneered at me obviously.
So maybe some people never change.
"Well I'm alive aren't I?" Griffin shot me a warning look from his chair while Lisa's expression didn't change.
"Well you still act the same I see." I was somewhat glad Asha was in the room, without her she would have shouted at me and sworn many times.
But that was fine; to me I never had a mother anyway.
"Nope. Hey Asha, do you want to come and sit with me in my room for a bit?" I asked, sending Griffin a look of desperateness, he seemed to understand why I wanted to escape from the situation.
Now that I noticed it, he hadn't walked in and kissed her on the cheek like he does every single time he walks into a room that she's in.
But to be honest, who would actually kiss her?
"Sure." Asha said smiling, picking up her magazine as we walked upstairs and into my room. And I was glad I had escaped, injury free from Lisa for once.
She flopped down on my bed, bringing her laptop up off the floor near my bed.
"How come your laptop is in my room?" I asked as I sat down next to her, crossing my legs on the bed as I stared at all the cards I had to open.
"Because I came up here when daddy and mom started arguing, I felt safe in here. Like you were here when you weren't. I'd go on the internet and see what the reporters had said about you seeing as no one else would say something to me, but I know it was for my own good." Asha shrugged as she started up the laptop.
Arguing? What was going on with Griffin and Lisa?
"So what did the reporters say about me?" I asked, grabbing a random card that had my name on it and opening it.
Dear Echo,
I don't know whether you will ever read this, whether you survive what has happened to you or these get well soon cards get thrown away but I wish you the best.
I want you to know that even though you're not like the other women in the media, I look up to you. You're so unique and not afraid to speak your mind. You don't mind being you and you don't give in to the pressure of the media, you're not afraid of being different. I really admire that, all my friends do.
In fact, a lot of people do. You have lots of fans, Echo and I am just one of the many loyal ones.
I wish you luck in the future and hope to see you recovering soon,
Leah

Wow, this girl had a lot of devotion in her card, I felt honored to receive such praise over how disgustingly I have acted over the past few months.
I've been a shitty role model, not only to fans but most importantly, to Asha.
At that moment, I made a promise to myself that I would act more of a role model for the people who look up to me, starting now.
"Just that you're in hospital, nearly dead and that they don't know if you're going to make a recovery and the rumors of what happened to you."
"Yeah, I want to tell everyone why I was in hospital for. I should." I explained as I opened more cards and Asha sat with me and it was like old times. We were in each other's company and talking about any little thing, about everything I had missed over the past few months.
We had been talking for an hour and I had nearly got through all of the cards when a new topic of conversation sprung up.
"They're in China right now." Asha said absentmindedly.
"I know." I knew what she was talking about.
"I'm following them on Twitter." Asha said as I read another card.
"You have Twitter?" I asked. I didn't even have Twitter!
Only because I hate technology.
"Yeah, Logan and Carlos tweeted things about you a lot and Big Time Rush as a whole tweeted about you, too. Oh, hold on, they all have." Asha said as she looked at her screen and I continued to go through the cards.
"What did they say?" I asked, relieved that there was only a handful of cards left to go.
"Logan's first one said: Just found out about how Echo is in hospital, get well soon. His second one said: I really feel for her family, I wish the media would just leave them alone and let her heal. His third one said: Glad to hear that Echo is going to make a recovery, making a toast to you Echo. And his fourth one which was posted yesterday says: So thankful Echo's nearly healed, God bless Florida hospital." Asha said as I went through 3 more cards.
"That's such a girly little Logan thing to put." I commented with a laugh.
"Echo! You nearly died!" Asha exclaimed.
"But I didn't." I said to her, smiling, hating the fact that people continued to remind me of the state I was in and not actually happy that I was laughing and fine with what had happened, just trying to move on with my life.
"Carlos tweets are similar. His first one said: When you've said some horrible things to someone and they are fighting for your life it makes you think of how much of a terrible person you really are. His second one says: Just hopes she'll make a recovery, hopes she knows I'm with her in spirit. And his third one says: Big sigh of relief, SHE'S A TOUGH BITCH!" Asha said.
I laughed as I finished going through the cards. "That's Carlos alright." I missed him dearly.
"James posted one: When someone you care about so much is hurt, you're hurt too."
"Mysterious." I commented.
"I think he still likes you." Asha commented. "Oh and Kendall posted one, too."
"Really?" My interest was suddenly peaked.
"Yeah, dated a few hours ago! It says: Thanks for the welcoming China, you're amazing..." Asha trailed off.
Well, I can practically feel the love radiating off Kendall.
Day 3 of Echo in Hospital
October 13th
"Have you called Camille today?" Carlos asked for the fifth time today. Logan didn't care though, he knew Carlos was worried. He was worried and he also knew that even though James and Kendall didn't show it, they were worried too.
"Yes, I called her half an hour ago. She said that she's still out cold. She also said she was so thin and that she didn't recognize her. Griffin doesn't want Camille there, but he lets Camille have her time with Echo anyway." Logan said. James and Kendall sat at opposite ends of the room, as usual.
They were both on their cells, seemingly doing nothing yet both of them were searching the internet for any new information on Echo's status.
"Can we go see her?" Carlos asked.
"No." Kendall said instantly.
"She's on the fucking verge of death and you still don't care?" James seethed at Kendall.
"We wouldn't get past Griffin anyway." Kendall commented.
"That's not the point." James growled.
Logan and Carlos just stared hopelessly at each other.
Day 5 of Echo in hospital
October 15th
"Have you called Camille yet?" Carlos asked the same way he had been asking Logan the past five days.
It was weird that none of the guys were using their own cells to make calls but Logan, it was more of an excuse to speak to each other but deep down, if Carlos spoke to Camille and she told him everything she told Logan –because he knew Logan didn't say everything that Camille had told him- he'd end up booking him a plane ticket home.
Logan was unusually pale as they sat in their tour bus. "Yes." He stated, not elaborating further on what had gone on.
"Well?" Carlos prompted.
"The doctors said her heart stopped in the middle of the night last night." Both James' and Kendall's head snapped up, even though Kendall had changed drastically, he was still human and cared for Echo, as an acquaintance if not more than anything else.
"Is she okay?" James was the only one to speak after the room plunged into silence.
"It took them 10 minutes, but they got her heart to start beating again." Logan said and everyone let out a sigh of relief. "Though they aren't sure whether she'll recover, Camille said that the malnutrition may have permanently damaged her heart or major organs." Logan said.
"Anything else?" Carlos tried to grasp at any glimmer of good news.
"Apparently the whole class up at the Palm Woods went to see her and yesterday, more than 100 fans came and stood outside the hospital and held a minute of silence to pay respects and pray."
"She's popular." Carlos said.
"No, she's liked. She's relatable." Logan corrected Carlos.
Day 8 of Echo in hospital
October 18th
"Camille says that Jett's been up the hospital for two days now, he literally doesn't want to leave her side." Logan said as the guys had a Chinese takeaway in their tour bus, though Carlos and Logan sat at the table, Kendall and James sat as far away from each other as possible. Whenever they spoke they were arguing. Each blamed each other for the way of their departure and for Echo's health.
"He's a fucking douche bag." Kendall said gruffly.
"And yet he's the one at her bedside." James sneered at Kendall.
"I don't see you next to her." Kendall said.
"Believe me, I would if I could, maybe I'm placing my loyalty in the wrong place again." James challenged.
"You're loyalty left us long ago." Kendall said.
"Least I have loyalty." James said. "So don't fucking go and insult Jett for being a decent guy." The guys hated Jett and it was no secret that James strongly disliked Jett after he constantly made lewd comments about his hair, they were all shocked that James out of all people stood up for him but he was speaking the truth and that was more painful for everyone to hear than Kendall and James arguing.
"He's still a douche, why can't he leave her alone."
"Because she's on the fucking brink of death you fucking idiot. She's not yours anymore, she never fucking was!" James shouted at Kendall.
"Just because you're in love with her don't make me look like the bad guy here!" Kendall shouted back just as loud.
"Because you fucking are! You fucked her up, not me!"
"But you would have loved to have fucked her, wouldn't you?" Kendall then received a punch in the face. James had been getting more aggressive by the day and the whole Echo situation didn't help.
But even through the haze of anger and the deathly painful silence that suddenly filled the air Kendall knew, he had pushed James to the limit tonight.
Day 14 of Echo in hospital
October 24th
"Guys, guys!" Logan ran around backstage, grouping together Big Time Rush.
"What?" Kendall snapped angrily.
"I've got news." Logan said.
"About Echo?" Carlos asked hopefully.
"Yeah, she's awake." Logan said. Carlos grinned happily, James stopped looking depressed and Kendall stopped looking angry, secretly, inside their heads they were all frightfully relieved she was okay but no one would say that they were.
"Did Camille say anything else?" Carlos asked in another hopeful tone.
"Yeah, she was having an argument with Griffin outside her room when they heard her; she wanted to talk to Camille. She forgave Camille for everything. Camille says she's changed so much, even though she's still thin, she looks healthy and she cried with Camille. But Camille says she's so much more mature now that none of us would recognize her." Logan said with an actual happy tone.
"That's such good news." Carlos said.
Then the four boys split again but Kendall followed James.
"Kendall, what do you want?" James sighed tiredly. Secretly, inside James was tired of fighting with Kendall. He only fought with him because he was envious of the times he had with Echo and it didn't mean anything to him. He just wanted to see her smile once more, just be able to make her roll her eyes or even hear her shout at him, just once more.
Kendall on the other hand was jealous in to how James cared about Echo and how he wasn't afraid to show it. He still had Gustavo convinced Echo meant nothing to him yet the guys knew that she left an imprint on him and for Kendall, it was a big imprint. It was true; he didn't care about her in a romantic way anymore but was that because he hadn't seen her in nearly 3 months. No photos in magazines or the sound of her voice. He had begun to forget what she had looked like.
"James, about the other night when you hit me. What I said was stupid and I was worrying about Echo, I'm sorry." This was the first thing Kendall had said in months with emotion, real emotion. Not the acting shit he did onstage but he had a sincerity in his voice that made James recognize the old Kendall was lurking inside of the dark hole Kendall had become.
"You should be, though you deserved the punch." James said, for once not angry at Kendall, just a mutual feeling.
"I know I deserved it, so don't apologize because we both know I needed that punch." Kendall nodded to his former friend before walking away, busying himself backstage before they went on for another show.
November 1st
"Hey guys, Camille just told me Echo got out of the hospital today." Logan said to them as they sat in another dingy hotel room, Gustavo always wanted to save the most amount of money possible, even if that meant putting all of them in many shitholes that call themselves 'hotels.'
James and Kendall weren't sitting at opposite ends of the room today, they sat on opposite couches, even though their anger for each other was still apparent they seemed to be able to bear each other.
Were things on the mend for them?
Carlos and Logan hoped so, they were tired of arguments constantly.
"How she doing?" Carlos asked as he played video games with James, who was being beaten by Carlos, this had became the usual but this time, James was actually aware he was playing the game instead of staring lifelessly at the screen.
"They've been texting. She said that she had so many fan cards that she couldn't believe it. She made a promise that she was going to get better and apparently she's landed a job in New Town High. Camille said that she's got a new attitude to life as cheesy as it is, she's changed and she's on the mend. She reckons they'll probably be snaps of her on the set up soon. None of us have seen her in 3 months." Logan said happily.
I yawned as I woke up the next morning, in my actual bed.
I had spent the night with Asha, we went through all my gifts, put all my cards around my room along with my gifts. It looked like my room had been invaded by a gift shop, it was ridiculous.
9am.
I had at least an hour to spare until Jett arrived so I went and took a dutifully long shower, I didn't think I'd be so thankful for a shower but without a shower for basically a month, you start to appreciate the little things.
When I got out of the shower I blow-dried my hair straight and applied my old usual for make-up, eyeliner, mascara, foundation and red lipstick.
I went for my faded blue tight skinny jeans, heeled military boots that Asha brought for my birthday and I hadn't had a chance to wear yet and a knitted grey jumped that was slightly baggy but I tucked it into my jeans, I put on my black quilted jacket over the top. As I walked downstairs I was greeted with the smell of bacon.
Griffin was up.
"Hey dad." I said casually as I walked into the room, Griffin looked up and did a double take.
"Echo, you look so...old." Griffin stared at me for some time as I brewed some coffee and I laughed lightly.
"Thanks, I'll tell you how I'm feeling when I find a grey hair." I remarked, grabbing a bowl and pouring some cereal in.
"I haven't seen you all dressed up in a long time."
"This wasn't me dressing up, this was how I usually looked like." I shrugged, pouring my coffee and then pouring milk into my cereal.
"You can really tell that weight loss, I wish you'd gained more weight at the hospital." Griffin stared fatherly at my figure.
"Dad, really I'm fine. I don't mind being thinner than usual, it'll make me fit in society better." I joked as I took a sip of my coffee though Griffin frowned at my statement. "Plus I'll go out shopping with Asha and Camille tomorrow." I said eager to spend time with Camille again, just like old times.
"Just make sure you're eating." He said and I rolled my eyes but smiled nevertheless and took my bowl and coffee into the lounge, as I put my food and drink down on the coffee table I turned the TV on.
"Good news, it seems Echo Kimberleigh has made a full recovery from her traumatic experience and left the hospital yesterday evening with Arthur 'Griffin' Kimberleigh and Asha Kimberleigh, we continue-" I turned the TV off as I wanted to talk to Griffin.
"Hey, dad, can you somehow hook me up for an interview on a nice TV show about what happened to me?" I called to my father who walked into the lounge.
"You won't believe how many people have been asking you do an interview for them. How about you go back to AM Florida? They seemed to particularly want you." Griffin said, his PDA in hand, doing whatever techno stuff he was doing.
"Sure," I agreed, just wanting to finally clear my name out of the way, "thanks, dad." I said as I continued to eat my cereal.
"You're welcome, honey." My dad said as he walked back into the kitchen just as there was a knock on the door.
I knew who it was.
"Come in, Jett." I called as I began to hurry with my cereal, stuffing my face full of Lucky Charms.
"Jeez, I knew hospital food was bad, but I didn't think it was that bad." Jett tsked at me as he walked in, clad in tight jeans and a leather jacket.
"Dfdgdghddgf." I tried to tell him I was hungry but I failed, epically.
"Oh yeah, you're all woman now, aren't you." Jett chuckled at my dad walked back into the lounge. "Hey, Arthur," Jett said smiling as he came over to me and sat down next to me.
"Hello, Jett, how are you, today?" Griffin asked as he sipped his coffee.
"I'm good thanks, and you?" Jett said politely to Griffin as I swallowed the rest of my Lucky Charms.
"I'm very good, coffee?" Griffin motioned to his mug.
"Nah, it's alright, I'll just have some of Echo's." Jett smirked, grabbing my mug and taking a long drink from it.
"Hey! The doctors said I have to have plenty of fluids, it's mean to pick on an ill person." I pouted as Jett rolled his eyes, passing me the rest of the mug and I grinned happily, drinking the rest.
"How's Jerry?" Griffin asked.
"He's good; he said he was going to invite you fishing today." Jett said.
"Sounds good, I think I'll call him now." Griffin turned and walked out of the room, he was besotted with Jerry, they had a big bromance going on.
"You ready?" Jett asked, standing up.
"Yup." I said, getting up to and grabbing my purse. "Bye dad!" I called as we walked out of the door
"So, audition today… you nervous?" Jett asked as we got into the car and he turned the engine on.
"Well from what you've said, I am a highly desired person so why should I be nervous?" I asked him as we set out onto the road.
"True." Jett smiled.
"So what's my character like, what does she do? Does she have a cool power?"
"Well, you're character sparks the interest of the whole school as you're mysterious. You particularly spark West's interest."
"Who's that?"
"Me."
"But I thought you were Rob."
"On an episode I found out my true identity."
"So you're West the werewolf."
"No, I'm West the sexy werewolf." Jett said with a grin and I giggled.
"You wish." I told him with a smile. "So what's my cool power? Am I a medium? A ghost? A vampire?"
"You're human."
"What?"
"You're a plain human."
"You're kidding me, right?"
"No."
"My character's boring."
"Believe me, if you're playing her she's anything but."
Throughout the car journey Jett gave me tips and spoke to me about what New Town High was and what it was like.
My character, Hayley is 16 years old and is mysterious, she's illusive and doesn't really like to talk to anyone but she's targeted by Rachel and then she stands up for herself and gets into a fight with a ghost to which West comes to the rescue and they hit it off.
"Hey, Jett, what happened to Camille? I thought she was going to do the show." I said to him as he announced we were nearly there.
"She was going to, but then she got offered a lot of money to be an acting teacher in some studio for a set amount of time."
"Oh, more money than New Town High?"
"On New Town High, you get paid to how the ratings are, how good your acting is and how important your character is."
"So you're paid more than me?"
"Please, I'm paid more than anyone." Jett grinned to himself and I rolled my eyes.
"But what's going to happen with Camille?"
"The producers are deliberating whether to bring her in a few seasons later and ask if she wants to join."
"They should, she's an amazing actress." I nodded.
"So, I was thinking that after today we go and get lunch together." Jett said nonchalantly.
"Oh yeah?" I asked with a smile playing on my lips.
"Yeah, my treat,"
"For what?"
"For being a tough bitch," we both laughed airily.
"I accept your lunch date." I said as we came to the studio.
"Funny, I didn't say anything about it being a date." Jett said with a huge grin as he got out of the car. He looked proud of himself.
"Whatever." I said rolling my eyes at him yet the small smirk said that I wasn't that offended.
"Welcome to your first day." Jett said as we walked closer to the studio.
"Jett, you're here!" A blonde walked up to Jett with a smile on her face, though when she smiled prominent vampire teeth were inserted on her incisors.
"Hey, Jo, this is Echo." Jett said, pointing to me.
"Hi." I said.
"Hello, well done on such a speedy recovery." Jo said with a genuine smile. "Well, I best be getting back on the set, Jett, you better hurry up, you're needed in the next few scenes."
"I will Jo, don't worry." He said as she skipped away.
"For ex's you two are pretty tight." I commented as we walked again.
"Jealous?" Jett asked raising his eyebrows as he smirked.
"Totally." I said sarcastically rolling my eyes.
"There's my star," we turned to a man with a script in his hands walking over to us; the man was tall, skinny and bald with brown eyes and a bright smile. "Jett, I see you've brought someone very special to the set."
"Yes I have." Jett said smiling at me.
"Echo, I'm Mark Watkins, the director and producer of New Town High, we are very excited that you're joining our cast and I would just like to congratulate you on your recovery, I can't comprehend how hard it must have been." He seemed nice, I had a feeling I was going to like it here.
"Thank you for letting me be here, I'm very thankful."
"Well, you're in your entrance scene today which is around about the middle of the episode, I'm sure Jett has briefed you on your character, we're running a little over schedule so I'm not going to audition you, I'm just going to give you the role, Jett speaks highly of your natural acting skills." Mark said kindly. "Jett, get to make-up."
"See you later." Jett said, kissing me on the cheek unexpectedly before walking away and leaving me with Mark.
"So, Echo, I want you to just read over the script and memorize the lines, there's only a few so it won't be that hard, we'll talk after we've filmed today."Mark said, I nodded understandably, knowing he was probably rushing around, he excused himself and walked towards the set and sat on the director's chair.
I watched the first few scenes before reading over my script at a table behind the cameramen, once I had memorized my lines I watched Jett act in his scenes, he had a talent for acting, it was plain to see, the joy on his face when he acted also showed he had a true passion for it.
Once Jett continued in a few more scenes I began to doodle on the back on my script for about 15 minutes until someone sat opposite me.
"Hello." I looked up; Jo sat in front of me with a kind smile as she passed me some coffee.
"Thank you," I smiled as she drank her own coffee in a way of showing my thanks for the beverage.
"So you're Jett's new girlfriend?" Jo asked, not in a jealous way, just in a curious one.
"I wouldn't say girlfriend."
"He likes you a lot." Jo said, nodding towards Jett who was acting with a redhead on set, they were arguing over what to do with Rachel which was Jo's character.
"So do you have a boyfriend?" I asked trying to change the subject as I began to take sips of my coffee.
"Yes I do, we've been going strong for a month now."
"Aww, how cute, what's the lucky guy's name?" I asked as I began to drink more of the coffee.
"Kendall Knight."
And there went my coffee all over the floor as I spat it all out and began coughing loudly.
"What?" I choked out, my eyes wide.
When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I went wrong,
The more I do, the less I know,
But I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head,
Don't You Remember- Adele
I know there was a lot of BTR 3rd POV in that, but it has to be done, there's going to be some more next chapter. How will they react to Echo's pregnancy? What will Kendall do? Will he call Echo? Will he visit her? Will he tell her how he truly feels? How does he truly feel?
Well, the more the reviews, the longer the chapter!
And thank you to all of the early birthday messages, but none of them are early anymore, because my birthday is today!
So, as a birthday gift from me, this chapter was all for you : )
