Chapter 4: Like a Dream
Hi everyone! I'm not dead. It's just that my sister has midterms the whole week and she hogged the computer. I love everyone. I've gotten review, PMs some people even favorite my story. I'm so grateful. I feel like I'm giving an award speech. But that would be way too long. I just have a question. I came up with the idea of having a song every chapter, but I don't want to overwhelm the story. So I want you guys to decide. Oh, and I'm open to any suggestions. But it's time to get serious. If any of you saw Carlo's last video on YouTube, I want to know your opinion. I personally don't think they're going to last. I told my mom and she even agreed with me. But if some of you like her, I understand. I cried myself to sleep the night I figured out. Anyways, here is chapter 4 of Fix a Heart!
Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush. If I did we would be having the most EPIC Nerf gun war right now, with war make up, helmets and all that.
(Gabby's POV)
I woke up extremely early today. I was having the greatest dream. Carlos and I were on the beach, and everyone was there and he sang to me. It felt so real. It was magical, though.
I had a great idea this fair, Hollywood morning. I was going to make breakfast.
I got out of bed and brushed my teeth but stayed in my pajamas. After, I went to the kitchen and got all my ingredients. Today, I was making scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, buttery biscuits and chocolate chip waffles. I was covered; head to toe in flour, chocolate, eggs, when I was done. I had just popped the biscuits into the oven. I sat on one of the stools inform of the counter to watch them. I yawned and before I new it, I was zonked out.
(Katie's POV)
I woke to the smell of smoke. I jolted up in a startle. I saw Gabby's bed was empty. Did they really leave me here in a fire? I bolted out of my room. What I was hilarious.
Gabby was blubbering into Logan's shirt. She kept mumbling things like "I didn't mean to," and " I could've killed everyone." Logan and my mom kept trying to console her down. Kendall, James, and Carlos were just onlookers. On the table I was a buffet of breakfast foods. On the counter, however, was a pan full of charred discs.
I went over and picked one up and tapped it on the counter. It was rock solid.
"What the hell are these?" I asked. Gabby started blubbering even harder. PMS much?
"Gabby burnt her biscuits" Logan said, a little harshly, trying to comfort Gabby even more.
"That's what she said," I laughed. Gabby started laughing, too. She came over to hug me. Logan and Mom sighed in relief. We sat down and started breakfast.
(Gabby's POV)
After my mental breakdown, I didn't want to eat. I just started down at my breakfast, which consisted of two small waffles and two strips of bacon. As I stared, I noticed something peculiar about it. There was a small blue piece wedged between my waffles. It was a folded note. I opened it and read it.
"Gabby," it read. "Would you like to accompany me to the cinemas for a 3:30 showing of 'Beauty and the Beast' in 3D? Check yes or no. Xxx, Carlos." Under the writing, at the bottom of the paper were two boxes with the two options underneath them. I indiscreetly got a pen from the counter behind me. I checked yes and wrote back "I'd love to. Xxx, Gabby."
"Psst, Carlos." I whispered. He was next to James who was next to me. Carlos looked at me. I was about to pass the note to him, when James turned around and snatched it from my hands.
He opened it and read the note out loud. He even read my response.
Everyone "awwed". Carlos and I looked down at our plates, blushing.
"Wow, a skateboarding 'date', yesterday, and now a movie 'date' today. You guys sure have a lot of 'dates'" Kendall pointed out, doing the air quotes with his fingers.
"I'm done eating. I'm going to take a shower!" I said a little too loudly, to emphasize my point.
Carlos stood up too. "Yeah, me too"
Everyone raised his or her eyebrows.
"Oh, you're all sick people!" I said and with that Carlos and I walked towards the bedrooms.
He stopped me in the middle of the hallway. "Did you really say yes?" he asked.
I nodded and winked at him. I tuned on my heel and walked away, leaving Carlos astounded.
(Gabby's POV)
Today was my first quote; unquote date official date with Carlos.
"Katie, white or grey shorts?" I asked, holding up both shorts.
"White; wear it with the red shirt I gave you." She responded.
"Great Idea!"
Therefore, on my date, I wore white denim shorts with a red "Coca-Cola" shirt. With my lucky pinstriped suspenders, black sparkly ballet flats and the beanie Kendall gave me before they left for Hollywood. It may be old but I still love that thing. Is it wrong to wear a gift given to you by another guy, on your first date with another guy you really like? I shrugged.
I touched up my eyes with some sparkly eyeliner and played up my lips with red lip-gloss. It tasted like cherries, just in case. *Wink, wink*
At 2:30, Carlos knocked on my door. He had worn a blue dress shirt with a grey vest over it and dark jeans (A/N: Think of the episode Big Time Dates)
"Are you ready to go?" He asked almost hesitantly.
I opened the door, doing my most provocative pose against the doorframe. He just stared and gaped.
"You know you do that a lot," I said.
"Do what?" he asked, honestly clueless.
"Stare." I giggled.
"Well, I'm sorry that I'm always in the presence of a pretty girl," he said, slyly. Was he flirting? I grabbed his hand confidently and dragged him to the front door.
"Wait!"
I turned and saw Kendall sitting lazily on the couch.
"Carlos, don't forget. The bonfire's tonight at Griffin's beach house," he said. Bonfire?
"Yeah, yeah; I know! Come on Gabby. Belle and the Beast are waiting for us." Carlos responded.
I slammed the passenger door of the BTR mobile shut. Carlos and I arrived at the beach.
"Why can't I get a guy as strong as the Beast?" I whined, trying not to be annoying.
"Well, you have me," Carlos said.
"But you aren't as strong as the Beast," I pointed out.
"Wanna bet?"
I laughed, knowing what's going to happen next. I took of my ballet flats and made a running start down the beach. Nevertheless, Carlos was too fast. He grabbed me around my waist and spun me around. Then he tossed me over his shoulder giving me a great view of his ass.
"Carlos! Put me down!" I shouted pounding on his back.
"Say I'm as strong as the Beast. " he yelled playfully.
"Never!"
Then Carlos plopped me down on sandy beach and started tickling me. I fell onto my back.
"Carlos, s-stop! You're going to *gasp* get sand *gasp* in my hair!" I yelled.
"I can live with that," Carlos stopped tickling me for a minute and brought his face inches from mine.
He's going to kiss me! I just know it. He leaned in and-.
"Gabby, Carlos, where have you been. C'mon, everyone's waiting!"
Damn you, James Diamond. Be damned to the fires of Hell!
Carlos stood up and brushed the sand of him. He stuck his hand out and helped me to my feet.
James led us to the bonfire; it was very pretty. There was a huge fire and everyone was circled around it. Everyone I'd met yesterday was there. Camille, Guitar Dude, even the Jennifers. Behind the fire on a hill was a huge house. I sat next to Katie, who was next to Logan, who was next to Kendall. On the other side of him was James Carlos sat right next to me, you could even say I was on his lap.
Kendall has a guitar.
"Hey everybody. Thanks for coming out here. This is the second single from a new album. It's called Music Sounds Better With You." Kendall started strumming his guitar. Logan started the song off.
[Logan:]
Better with you,
Better with you, yeah...[James:]
I try to write this down
The words just don't come out
It's hard to say how you feel
Been down the longest road
Said yes when I meant no
I lost control of the wheel[Logan:]
Cause you know that
Things get so bad,
You've got my back
Make me wanna sing,
And girl I'm singing about you
It was Carlos's turn to sing. He looked directly at me. [Carlos:]
No sweeter sound
Than what I've found
No perfect love
Could be more perfect than ours
All the guys sang this part, but Carlos kept his eyes on me.
[All:]
Ooh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you baby
It feels right, it feels right
Everything's better with you[Kendall:]
I used to think that love
Was something fools made up
Cause all I knew was heart break
Woah I couldn't help myself,
Let this heart go through hell
There only so much a heart can take[Logan:]
Cause you know that
Things get so bad,
You've got my back
Make me wanna sing,
And girl I'm singing about you[Carlos:]
No sweeter sound
Than what I've found
No perfect love
Could be more perfect than ours[All:]
Ooh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you baby
It feels right, it feels right
Everything's better with you
Carlos started singing directly to me while the guys sang back up. [Carlos:]
Every song
Every rhyme
Every word (music sounds better with you)
Everyday (Everyday)
All of the time (All of the time)
Every day
Music sounds better with you.
Carlos nudged me. "What?" I mouthed to him. He jerked his head as to say, "Come on" Everyone's eyes were on me. Oh, he wanted me to rap Mann's part.
[Gabby:]
He's my music enhancer
When the music plays, he's my dancer
When I'm around him, everything's faster
Every question I have, he's the answer
I'm head over heels
Can't explain it, it's so surreal
I turned directly to Carlos.
When I'm around you, baby, you make me feel like
When the rest of the boys sang out loud, Carlos looked directly at me a barely whispered:
[All:]
Everything's better with you
Ooh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you, Baby
It feels right, it feels right
Everything's better with you
Oh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you, Baby
It feels right it feels right,
Everything's better with you
Music sounds better with you [x2]
On the last note, we heard loud bangs. Everyone looked up at the sky. There were fireworks. Red, blues, greens filled the darkness. Carlos pulled onto his lap and whispered into my ear.
"You know who never said I was as strong as the Beast."
Well, that's all my friends. But stay tuned, it's only the beginning, shit is about to get real.
With love,
