Chapter Four: Big Time Christmas
Eva's POV*
"Eva Diamond open this door right this instance!" someone yelled through the door. I groaned before I rolled over in my bed trying to ignore the knocking on my door.
"Eva if you don't open the door right now I will use Carlos to knock it down." the voice yelled once again.
"Wait I know those voices." I said to myself. I got out of my bed and walked to the front of my apartment. Once I got to the front I opened the door to see three idiots holding Carlos like they were going to use him as a ram. "Is there a reason that you woke me up?" I asked.
"Yeah we're going home for Christmas!" James exclaimed.
"I know you're going home for Christmas." I said.
"Aren't you going?" Carlos asked still in the guys' arms.
"Put Carlos down." I commanded. They removed their arms from under Carlos and he fell to the ground. "I didn't mean drop him." I shook my head at them.
"Answer Carlos' question." Kendall demanded.
"No I am not coming with you guys." I finally said.
"Why not?" James asked.
"Because since Miranda stepped out of the Christmas special Hawk got it for me." I answered.
"Can't you just not do it?" Carlos asked.
"No because that would make me look bad." I said. "Now why are you here?" I asked.
"Oh yeah Gustavo forgot that today was Christmas Eve so he wanted us to tell you that you won't be recording until he comes back from Fiji." Logan explained.
"OK." I replied. Before any of them could say anything I heard my phone ringing so I excused myself so I could answer it. "Hello." I answered.
"Yes is this Evangeline Diamond?" the voice asked.
"This is she." I answered.
"I would like to inform you that Miranda will be doing the Christmas special." the lady said.
"Oh." I said disappointed that I wouldn't get to do this Christmas special.
"But when she asked who was going to take her spot and found out it was you. She demanded that you do the special together." she said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes apparently she is a big fan of your's." she said.
"Wow." I said shocked that Miranda Cosgrove is a fan of mine.
"So are you still in?" she asked.
"Of course I am." I answered.
"Great, you will have to be here by 9 so we can get you ready for your segments." she informed me.
"Thank you so much." I said before I said goodbye to her than I hanged up the phone. I walked back to the guys, but when I turned around they were standing right there.
"So what happened?" James asked being the nosy big brother he always is.
"It was the network they told me that Miranda is doing the Christmas special." I said.
"But why are you so happy?" Carlos asked. "Shouldn't you be sad." he added.
"No because when Miranda found out it was me who was going to take her place she demanded that I still do it with her." I exclaimed. "Can you believe it Miranda Cosgrove is a fan."
"That's amazing Eva." they all said. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:00.
"Thank you, but now you have to get out because I have to get ready because I have to be there before 9." I said pushing them out of the door. I slammed the door and ran to my room to get dressed. I just put some legging, a tank top , my lucky performing boots, and my under armour jacket. I grabbed my purse, phone, and car keys that Hawk left in the apartment for my car he got me. Then I walked out of my apartment making sure that the boys couldn't hear me and ran down the stairs avoiding the elevator. Once I got to the lobby I walked outside and tried to find my car. I saw the button on the keys that help you find your car so I pressed it and when I saw my car I was shocked. Quickly I ran over to my light blue convertible and got in. While I was enjoying it I saw the guys walking towards the parking lot. So in order not to get caught by them I put my keys in the ignition and drove off.
I had finally arrived at the lot and I told them who I was. They told me to wait and they got me my ID so I could go in without getting hassled. I walked into the studio where the show was going to be broadcasted and I was immediately hugged by someone.
"It is so nice to meet you." the person who was hugging me said. They pulled away and I came face to face with Miranda Cosgrove.
"It's nice to meet you too." I replied.
"Come on we have to tell my manager that you are here." she said. We started walking through the set and it looked amazing. "When they told me who was going to take my spot I knew that I had to have you stay and do it with me. I have been to some of your competitions and I have to say that you are an amazing ice skater."
"Thank you that means a lot." I said.
"Miranda where have you been?" a lady in a suit asked as she walked towards us.
"I wanted to be the first one to greet Eva." Miranda answered.
"Hello Eva, I'm Miranda's manager and it is a pleasure to have you doing the show with Miranda." her manager said.
"No the pleasure is all mine and I am grateful that Miranda wanted to do this with me." I said shaking the hand she had offered to me.
"Well come on we have to get your wardrobe, makeup, and hair done before the program starts." she said. She called some people and they whisked me away to get me ready for the show. When they finished my outfit they told me that for my main skit I would be ice skating so they tried to hand me a pair of skates, but I refused.
"I have my own." I told them pulling my skates out of my bag. These skates are my pride and joy, I got them when my mom started making me take my figure skating career seriously. They were teal colored and they had music notes on them.
"Eva you're up." someone said. I quickly put my skates on and walked to where the ice rink was. I could feel the cold air from the ice and I felt at home. I took my blade protectors off before I stepped on to the ice. I slowly skated on to the ice and when I heard the music start I knew exactly what song it was.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feelin' when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feelin' when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
When the song and my dance was over I bowed and skated off of the ice.
"That was amazing." Miranda complimented me when I sat down.
"Thank you." I said.
"Well I have to go." she said because he next skit started.
Miranda and I were just walking around talking because it wasn't time for us to do anything yet. I was telling her about James' audition and how we had to get escorted home by the police. Miranda was about to comment on it when we heard a lot of commotion. Miranda and I walked over with her manager to see what the problem was.
"You're all going to jail for Christmas." Miranda's manager said.
"Oh no! Don't call the police! We're allergic to police." Kendall said. I shook my heads at them. I swear do they know how to not get in trouble.
"We weren't Fabio napping, we were just hiding him so we could sing with Miranda and Eva... sorry Fabio." Logan said.
"Look, if we don't record three Christmas songs by today, our grinchy CEO won't let us go home for Christmas." Carlos explained. Wow Griffin sounds horrible I mean who would do that.
"We're Big Time Rush! We're a band!" James exclaimed. Miranda and I turned to her manager.
"They're really cute." Miranda said.
"And I know them." I added.
"They locked Fabio in a costume bin!" her manager exclaimed.
"Yeah, but they're really cute." Miranda said.
"They are also harmless they weren't going to hurt Fabio." I said.
"My daughter does love their album." Miranda's manager said.
"And they did give me some tasty snacks and a movie to watch for me. And by the was, I'm a horrible singer." Fabio added.
"He's right. He's a horrible singer." Miranda and I said together.
"And we can sing." Carlos sang.
"Sing." Kendall harmonized.
"Sing." James harmonized.
"Sing." Logan harmonized.
"So how are we doing?" Kendall asked.
Miranda and I looked at each other before saying, "Honestly it could go either way."
So in the end they were allowed to sing with us so we got ready for the song. Some rang the fake doorbell and we went to answer it. The guys come in and they greet us.
"Do you guys want to sing a song with us?" we asked.
"Yeah sure." they replied.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own more than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
It's YOU
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I don't wanna hang my stocking there upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
Yooou baby
Oh! All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly baby)
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me? oooh
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own more than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Yooou baby
You're all I want
You're all I need
Christmas day baby you and me
You're all I want
You're all I need
Christmas Day baby you and me
All i want for christmas is you babyyy!
When we were finished with that scene the guys had to go because they had to find another star to do a duet with. I wished them luck right before they ran out of the building with Gustavo and Kelly.
"Well I'm finished so I have to go." I told Miranda.
"Well give me your number so we can hang out some time." she said more like demanded. I put my number in her phone while she out her number in my phone. After saying goodbye I walked to my car and got into it. I looked over to the passenger seat and saw my skates. I would go back to the Palm Woods, but I got a better idea to waste time. As I turned on my car, I got on my phone and tried to find the nearest ice rink. Once I found it I put the directions in and drove to the ice rink. When I got there I grabbed my bag and skates before walking into the building.
"Hello is anyone here?" I asked.
"Yes sadly staying open on Christmas Eve doesn't mean that people are going to come." the guy said.
"Well I'm here." I said.
"I can see that." he laughed.
"So can I skate? Or did I come here for nothing?" I asked.
"Oh you can skate." he said. I hand him my ID and credit card, when he saw my name he looked up at me in shock. "You're Eva Diamond, I took my nieces and nephews to see one of your competitions."
"Well it's glad to know that I have fans all over." I laughed. He handed me my stuff back and my pass and let my into the rink. When I felt the cool air of the ice I felt at home again. I quickly sat down so I could put my skates on before getting on to the ice. It felt so good to be on the ice and this time not for a competitions or TV. Then I remembered the routine I made after the guys left for Cali, so I decided to do that.
Kendall's POV*
We finally finished the album and we were getting everything ready to go the airport to go back to Minnesota. When the news told us that no one was going to get in or out of Minnesota because of a snowstorm.
"Um where's Eva?" Katie asked.
"Well the special should be over so she should be home now." James answered.
"Then go check." Katie ordered. Carlos and Jame ran next door to Eva's apartment, but she didn't answer.
"She's not there." Carlos told Katie.
"Then where could she be?" Logan asked. EVeryone was trying to figure out where Eva could be when it hit me. I got up off the couch and grabbed my phone before walking out of the apartment.
"Where are you going?" Carlos called sticking his head out of the apartment door.
"To go get Eva." I called back. I ran down the stairs and out of the Palm Woods walking to the nearest ice rink. I arrived at the ice rink and saw that it was open.
"Who's there?" someone called out.
"Um I'm looking for someone." I replied. A man walked out from a office and gave me a look.
"Well you are going to have to be more specific when asking about a person." he said.
"Her name's Eva." I told him.
"Oh Eva, yeah she came in here an hour ago and hasn't stepped off the ice since." he said.
"Can I go in?" I asked him pointing to the door that lead to the ice rink.
"Sure." he said walking back into his office. I walked over to the door and walked around the bleachers till I got the bottom. When I saw Eva skating I decided not to interrupt her skating because she looked so peaceful. I waited until after she did her jump to speak.
"That was impressive." I commented. She stopped quickly and turned around to look at me.
"Thanks." she said as she skated towards me. "By the fact that you are here I am guessing that you are done with your album. But my question is how are you here when you are supposed to be in Minnesota?"
"Well yes we did finish our album, but of course a snowstorm has been the cause of us not going back to Minnesota this Christmas." I explained.
"Ah I see, that must suck." she said.
"Not really because I get to see you." I said and she blushed. OK truth time I do have a crush on EVa, but I know we will never be together because James would never allow it.
"You do know that there is an alternative to it." she said.
Eva's POV*
When Kendall told me that he was glad he was staying because he could see me, my heart skipped and I know for a fact that I blushed. So I decided to take it off me and tell him the alternative of it. We walked out of the ice rink after a little while longer and Kendall started walking when I called, "Where are you going?"
"Um we have to walk back to the Palm Woods." Kendall said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"No you can walk, but I am taking my car back to the Palm Woods." I said walking over to my car.
"You have a car?" he asked.
"Yes I have a car now get in." I said. He hurriedly got into the car and I drove back to the Palm Woods.
So to put my Christmas in a nutshell we had Christmas at the Palm Woods. We even included Gustavo, Kelly, and Mr. Bitters. I have to say that this was one of the best Christmas' that I have had in a while because my mom was more worried about my career than my happiness. Life is good the only thing I didn't expect was that my mom was going to ruin the fun that I have going on.
