I'm going to finish this soon so I can start and finish other fanfics Okay, so…Quick question. Who is your favorite BTR guy? For me, it's a tie between Kendall and Logan. (That's why I don't normally do any third person with anyone else) Note this chapter takes place on Saturday.

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Time Rush or any of the songs; only certain characters.

Lingering Shadows

Logan lay on his bed, starring up at the ceiling. He still couldn't think of what else Kendall could be hiding from him and the others. Logan decided he'd ask Kendall the next time he saw him.

"Hi Logan." Katie chirped. He blinked at her upside down form.

He let a long sigh escape, "Hi Katie." He got up and walked out of his room.

"I'm bored, let's do something!" Katie exclaimed catching up to him. Logan loved Katie like she was his own sister, but he really didn't feel like playing any games with her this very moment.

"Not now, but later okay?" He put down. She gave an annoyed huff.

"But nether Carlos or James wants hang out, and I think Kendall is with Jo!"

Logan glanced at her and saw a familiar glint in her eyes. It was a mix between innocence, determination, stubbornness, and softness. She's so much like her... "Alright, you win; what do you want to do?"

"We'll go to the pool! She announced, running out of the room. Logan smiled, as he watched her exit. A few moments past before Katie reappeared in the entrance, "You coming or what?"

"Oh, yeah; I'll be right there." Logan exclaimed, as he rose to his feet.

As he and Katie were walking out the door, they bumped into Kendall. Logan thought he looked pale again.

"Uh, hey guys," He greeted uneasily. Katie gave him a friendly wave, clearly not noticing anything different about her brother.

Logan bent down to whisper into her ear, "You go on ahead. I'll catch up. After Katie was out of earshot, he locked gazes with Kendall and snapped, "I know you're hiding something else…Kendall, if you just tell me I could help you like I did last time! Kendall pretended not to notice Logan, and shouldered him aside. He quickly stepped in front of him. "Kendall!"

Kendall's green eyes flickered with irritation; but Logan could see the misery behind it. "Logan, trust me when I say; I would tell you if I could, but I just can't." He walked towards their room and paused at the door. Without turning around he muttered, "I'm sorry."

Logan let out a long sigh of defeat as he slowly left apartment 2J to join Katie.

Kendall leaned against the door as he read the two letters over again. He ran one hand through his hair. "This just doesn't make any sense…"

"Kendall?" A voice came from behind the door.

He quickly put the letters in his pocket before opening the door. "What?"

Kendall found him looking into Carlos's brown eyes. "Oh, um…Logan sent me to check on you. Before he could reply, Kendall caught sight of something behind his friend. A dark shadow seemed to be slowly approaching them, "Kendall!"

He rubbed his eyes then looked back to see the shadow had vanished. Now I'm hallucinating? "C-can't we talk later?"

Carlos seemed disappointed but instantly lightened up. "I know what will cheer you up!"

Kendall eyed him suspiciously. "Yes, and what would that be?"

He slapped his helmet on then shouted, "SWIRLY!"

Kendall let the smallest of smiles escape. Maybe I do need to lighten up a little. "Sure Carlos sounds great."

Logan and Katie sat by the pool, their feet in the water. Katie had told him that she noticed how her brother was acting; she just didn't want to mention it before. "Don't worry, I told Carlos to go check on him…I'm sure he's alright." Logan tried to convince her.

"Yeah, whatever." She murmured, starring down at the water.

James came up and sat on Katie's other side. "Hey guys, what's up? When neither of them answered he shrugged and added, "So…you want to do something?"

"What does it look like? Katie finished quieter, "You didn't wanna hang out before…"

Logan sighed, "She knows about Kendall, and I guess it's kinda rough." James nodded slowly. Logan was about to continue, but something caught his eye. Two familiar people lingered by the lobby entrance. He tilted his head on one side to get a better look.

"Logan you're going to-" Before Katie could finish her warning, Logan fell into the pool. As he splashed back up to the surface, James and Katie were cracking up.

"Ha, ha, ha; very funny." He exaggerated as he climbed out of the pool. Katie and James scooted away slightly as he sat down again.

"How'd you fall anyway?" James asked, still bubbling with laughs.

Logan smiled as he answered, "I saw Carlos and Kendall by the entrance." Katie's eyes widened.

"You really think you saw them!" She exclaimed eagerly.

"Yes Katie, he did." All three of them turned their heads to see Kendall and Carlos behind them.

"Great to see you out here again," James exclaimed, getting to his feet.

Kendall nodded, "Yeah, you see I just needed to; why is Logan wet?"

Logan shrugged as he and Katie stood up, "Just got a little excited. For a moment, Kendall seemed to be distracted by something behind them. He turned around to see what it was, but nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be there, "Uh, Kendall?"

He shook his head before re-focusing, "Hmm…Oh, yeah; what was that?"

Well that was odd… "Urk, nothing… " For a few moments there was silence between the five of them. Kendall's phone broke the silent atmosphere.

"Oh…hey Gustavo, He greeted awkwardly into the phone. About a minute later, he finished, "Okay; we'll be right there."

Katie crossed her arms, "What did Gustavo want?"

He sighed, "He wants to see us at the studio right now."

She looked upset, but hid it as much as she could, "Okay, I'll just hang out with Tyler."

Kendall nodded hesitantly, "If your fine with it, then can you tell mom where we're going?"

Katie rolled her eyes, "Sure; whatever."

Kendall, James, and Carlos were already at the lobbies exit when Logan glanced at Katie. "Are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure, now I'd hurry up before the others leave."

"Oh, right…see you later."

Katie watched until they disappeared. She sighed, turning back to the pool; Katie suddenly stopped where she was. Katie caught sight of someone's key card resting on a side table. She picked it up and read which apartment it was 3C. Katie shrugged, and hid the key card in her pocket.

"I didn't know anyone lived in 3C," she murmured to herself.

Alright, so I am going to start a seconded BTR story while I work on this one ;D Aside from that, who do you think lives in 3C? Some important things are going to start happening in the next few chapters, so you can look forward to those too.
