Girlfriend/Boyfriend relationship

*Jasmine's POV*

My date with James was in 30 minutes and I was already dressed. He won't tell me where we are going, but he did tell me to dress comfortable. So I wore a light blue t-shirt and baggy blue jeans. I had Zoe help me find some sneakers, since I hardly owned any. I'm more of the leggings, mini dresses and skirts girl. I only owned flats and heels. Today I chose a pretty brown nail polish to wear. I ended up buying light blue and brown Nikes. I am now in love with those sneakers. My two favorite colors in a shoe=PERFECTION. I wore my hair down in its regular straight hairstyle. I made sure to put cover up on my arms since I had no long sleeves on today.

James's arrived exactly at 8 o'clock. I took one last look at myself in the mirror and headed out.

Turns out we had a date at the roller skating rink. Now I'm glad I went on those class trips to Cascade. Those lessons and dancing will come in handy tonight. Nice choice of a date. Dark yet not to dark, music to dance to and a great time to hold hands.

"Nice choice for a date James" I told him while we were in line for our skates.

"Thanks. I forgot to ask you if you knew how to roller skate" he told me looking apologetic.

"It's okay. Luckily I know how to skate, and pretty well if I may say" I say with a happy smile on my face. He smiles back at me. I will never get use to the effect his smile has on me. "Come on." I pull him onto the floor. It takes me a few seconds before I readjust. We skate hand and hand. We make small talk.

"Let's play 20 questions, but I get to ask the questions." he suggests. I nod my head in agreement. "Favorite color?" he starts his questions.

"Well I don't have just 1. I'm in love with brown and light blue" I respond.

"Favorite T.V show?"

"SpongeBob SquarePants. That little square dude is hilarious" I say smiling thinking about his obnoxious laugh.

"Do you have any siblings?" that question hit a nerve, a nerve that I hated to be hit. I decided I'd answer as simple as possible.

"Yea 2, Morgan and Taylor." I said with clenched teeth.

"How old are they?"

"20 and 24" I responded.

"Hhhmmm. Favorite song?"

"I'd have to say Nine in the Afternoon by Panic! At the disco." He mocked being hurt.

"Not Big Time Rush? I may have to reconsider this relationship" he said smiling. I skated/bumped into him while chuckling.

"We both know you wouldn't do that." I said still chuckling.

"There you are correct. Oh I have a good one! Where did you get that CPR excuse to kiss me from?" This had me full blown laughing. I knew this would come up at some point.

"The question isn't where I got it from, but why you seemed to kiss back." I told him smirking.

"No answering questions with questions." He said laughing a little.

"Fine. Okay I was a life guard for a couple of summers, and I'm a competitive swimmer. So I had to learn CPR. I figured I could use it then because you guys looked like you weren't breathing, but that's beside the point. I uhh kind of like you so I figured it was a fine time to kiss you…and…uh yeah" I blushed a little, but James seemed to get more confident.

"Anyway why did you kiss me back?" I shot back at him, becoming a little less embarrassed. This time he looked away.

"I uh…kind of…like you too…a little." He mumbled.

"Sorry couldn't hear you there." I said grinning ear to ear. He took a deep breath and repeated what he said.

"I SAID that I like you too." He looked relieved to get that out. I blushed again.

"Good. I'm glad you do because that makes this that much more fun" I pecked him on the lips then started skating as fast and far as possible. "Race you!" he seemed to process what just happened.

"NO FAIR! YOU GOT A HEAD START!" he yelled behind me. Like two seconds later he not only caught up to me, but passed me. Is he freaking Flash? Oh goddess I sound like a dorknob. When I finally caught up to him I was awestruck.

"How did you catch up to me so fast?" I asked him.

"Years and years of ice hockey in Minnesota." He replied proudly.

"Okay best two out of three."

"You're so on!" we shook hands on it and raced off again. We went on like that for the rest of the night. He won every time of course, but he wasn't too cocky about it. He tried to help me out some. He's a very sweet guy when you get to know him. I could use to dating James Diamond.

*Next Day/Later that Night?*

I had the dream again. The dream that has haunted me for as long as I can remember. The dream that won't go away. The dream where I almost kill myself. The dream that I wish was only just a dream.

Flashbacks…dream…flashback…dream…flashback…dream…flashback…dream…flashback

(A/N 3rd person POV)

A nine year old Jasmine wakes up to yelling. She crawls out of her bed only to see her mother Michelle and her father Michael in a heated discussion. She hears bits and pieces of the argument words like stupid bitch, divorce, I get the kids, and not over my dead body. She's never seen her parents this mad at each other before. She walks to her sister's room and crawls into to the bed with her oldest sister 16 year Taylor.

A ten year old Jasmine cries as she leaves her Miami home for Georgia. Her parents' nasty divorce ended with her mother getting everything. Jasmine looks back at her dad for the last time as she drives away.

A thirteen year old Jasmine is left alone as her now 17 year old sister Morgan gets a 19 year old boyfriend. She goes to her mother for company but all she talks about is how stupid and useless her father is. A few months later all the negativity in her life comes down on her. She starts to cut herself. To her each cut releases some of her pain. The pain of abandonment, loss, and of feeling unimportant.

She got skinnier by the day. Her friends notice her weight loss, and inform her mom of their suspicions.

A still thirteen year old Jasmine is sitting fully clothed on the shower floor with the shower running. She watches as the blood starts to seep out of her newly made cut. She throws the knife she was using into the corner and cries as each drop is spelt into the now pink water. Her mom barges into the room to see Jasmine on the ground.

Her mother rushes a now unconscious Jasmine to the hospital. Jasmine is declared anorexic and depressed. The doctor tells her she could have died if she hadn't gotten to the hospital when she did. She could have died from blood loss.

A fourteen year old Jasmine sits in a quiet room and cries to her therapist for the 5th time that week..

END FLASHBACK…DREAM

After the dream I woke up screaming in bed. I looked around to get my bearings. I walk to the bathroom to wash my face off. I look at myself in the mirror and blink a few times. I look at my arms where my past is forever etched into my skin. Guess it's time for the dye…


*Zoe's POV*

I'm the early bird of my group, always up at 6am, sometimes 5am. I stretch and get out of bed, careful not to wake Kennedy. She is like Grim Reaper if she doesn't sleep enough. I walk to the bathroom near Janeé and Jasmine's room. I open the door to find the red, blue, and purple hair dye on the counter. Jazz must have had that nightmare again. Here's the thing, Jazz dyes her hair when she's mad or sad. Red for mad, blue for sad, and the occasional purple when she's so pissed you should just keep 50 feet away from her.

She probably used the purple this time. Her past always makes her act like evil incarnate in a bunnies clothing. I decide to send a text to the guys letting them know the F.Y.I about Jazz's current mood. I clean up her mess and then take my shower and comb my hair. I dress myself in some pretty pink shorts and an orange baggy shirt. And I top it off by putting on my favorite hat. Elmo. That red guy is always happy and he's what keeps me in a good mood. I hop to the kitchen and fix a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles. I slurp it up then leave the apartment. I walk to the lobby and see absolutely no one is up yet. I walk out to the pool-I still have not gone in that pool yet-and still no one in sight. This could be cool. I get to the edge of the pool and look around one last time. I put my hat in one of the loungers and tie my shirt up. I put my phone on record next to my hat. I climb up onto the roof of the Palm Woods. I give my camera a thumbs up then I back flip off the roof.

I ended up landing feet first. Oh my crap that was so awesome! That was the most fun I have had all week. Back flipped off the roof, that HAS to be some type of record. I resurfaced happy as Hercules. I get out the pool to turn my phone off record. As I head back to the pool I see two girls looking at me. One of them has brown curly hair and the other has blonde hair. I walk over to them to introduce myself.

"Hi I'm Zoe Redbird Hathaway, but my friends call me Zoe or just Zo. And you guys are?" I start by putting my hand out. The brunette takes my hand first.

"I'm Camille" she smiled and shook my hand.

"And I'm Jo. You must be new here." The blond said while shaking my hand.

"I kind of am. I've been here since Wednesday. Me and my friends are in a new band called Destiny's Fate."

"That's so cool. We haven't had any girl bands around here yet. Who are you guys working with?" the girl named Camille said while looking at Jo.

"His name's Gustavo Rocque. I think we're his first girl band" I told them.

"Gustavo? Have you met his newest boy band?" Jo asked me. I nodded my head.

"Big Time Rush? Yeah actually we met them our first day here. They're really cool." I said smiling.

I'm in the business of misery

Let's take it from the top

She's got a body like an hourglass

That's ticking like a clock

It's a matter of time

Before we all run out

When I thought he was mine

She caught him by the mouth

My favorite song plays on my phone as I get a call.

"One second this is one of my friends" I tell them while I walk away. "I'll talk to you guys later. Bye!"

"Bye" they tell me as I go to the lobby.

"Hello" I say.

"Z, code red, or should I say purple? Jazz is on purple, repeat JAZZ IS ON PURPLE!" Janeé says from the other end of the line.

"I know. I already texted the guys telling them to beware of a purple Jasmine. Should we leave her alone today?" I ask. Before Janeé answers I hear a loud crash and Kennedy screaming in the back ground.

"Jasmine just broke a vase and is chasing Kennedy around the apartment. I'll get Kennedy and we are going to head to the pool. Meet us there. 'Kay? I have to go now. JAZZ PUT THE VASE DOWN OR I WILL HAVE TO USE FORCE! AHHHHH. NO! NO! NO! NO! ZOE I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER!" she hung up. I start to text the guys when I realize it's like 9 o'clock. Where does the time go? So much fun makes a girl hungry, so I go to the vending machine.

"We meet again old friend. This time I won't go easy on you. No security guards to save you this time now are there?" It didn't answer. "No answer…I see how it is." I enter a dollar bill and push the button for fruit smackers. It came halfway out the hoop when it stopped. Not. Again. I will kill this machine. I walk out to the pool and pull the leg off one of the chairs. Nice and splintery, perfect.

"Okay. Let's do this!" I pull back with my hand made spear in hand and get ready to start stabbing when a pair of hands keep me from shooting forward. I look behind me to see Carlos looking back at me. I relax at his hold and drop my spear.

"What were you doing?" he asks me looking from me to the spear to the machine.

"Here's the thing vending machines absolutely hate me. At the airport the machine waited until I was getting my Cheetos to freeze up. This time I put a dollar in and tried to get some fruit smackers. It got halfway out and got stuck" I finished my sentence while hitting the machine with my hand for emphasis. Then the smackers came out. "Oh." I took my food out and started to feel really stupid. "You want some?" I said while my cheeks warmed up.

"Sure." I poured some smackers into his hand and we walked to the pool. "When you texted us this morning what did you mean by beware of a purple Jasmine?" he asked me.

"Jasmine with purple hair. She's like Hades when her hair is purple. She will literally kill you if she wants to." He looked confused. Right when I was going to explain more the stairs door flew open. Kennedy was running out with her green bikini top and white shorts on as fast as she could. 5 seconds later purple Jasmine came out looking pissed in her pajamas, followed by a frantic Jordan wearing a red bikini top and shorts.

"TACKLE HER NOW!" Janeé yelled while running through all the people now in the lobby. Carlos and I looked at each other for a split second. He tapped his helmet twice and we ran after Jazzy. We had her down on the ground, and then she started crying. We all gathered around her and hugged her. By this time Kendall, James, and Logan had arrived at the scene.

"She needs to lie down. She's having a break down. James can you take her back upstairs please?" Kennedy asks breathless from her run.

"Sure I guess so" he picks her up bridal style, and heads for the elevator. Janeé and Kennedy look at each other with sad looks. This is always a bad time to mess with Jazz. I sigh and pick up my wood spear. I wonder if I could paint this and use it as a weapon.

"Does anyone have any paint?" I ask them. Everyone starts to look at me and my spear.

"Zoe. Why do you have the leg of a chair?" Kendall asks me. I start to smile and laugh a little.

"No reason. No reason at all" I give them a maniacal laugh for good measure. I've heard if you smile it makes people wonder what you're up too. Hehehehe. They would never figure it out. "Well enough staring at me let's go to the pool!" I tell them while skipping to the pool. I sit down at the chair where I left my hat at, and put my hat on.

"Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Guess what I did while everyone was asleep!" I exclaim really excited about my flip. They give me uninterested stares. "Well anyways I back flipped off the roof into the pool! And I recorded it on my phone!" I pull my phone out and go to my videos. I click on my newest one and play it for everyone. I waited for the video to stop. After everyone started to look at me wide mouthed "The ultimate adrenaline rush! It was a big time adrenaline rush! Ha. I made a pun!" everyone started laughing at my super cool joke. "It felt like I was going to die for a second, but I would defiantly do it again!" Carlos was the first to say something.

"Back flipping of the roof! Why didn't I think of that!" he said looking pretty amazed at the idea.

"You should really try it! O yea and after that I met these two girls named ummm…I think their names were Camille and Jo. They were really nice!" I said smiling. Kendall and Logan looked at each other. They seemed to be kind of nervous. What did I say? "They said that they knew you guys." This time Janeé and Kennedy looked at each other. "WHY IS EVERYONE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER! I feel left out." I said and put on a pout.

"Camille and Jo are Kendall and Logan's ex-girlfriends." James said from out of nowhere. I guess he just got back.

"Oh really now" Kennedy said smirking, her brown eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Drama bomb!" I said remembering that line from ADVETURE TIME with Finn and Jake.

"Zo you met them earlier today right?" Kennedy said. I nodded my head. "I am just dying to meet your new friends." She said. I could just see the evil wheels turning in her head.

"I told them I'd introduce you guys later…I think." I said while looking around. James seemed to find this funny, Kennedy was smiling really evilly, Janeé seemed curious, and Kendall and Logan looked freaked out. Carlos on the other hand was gone. Great I'm the only cool person left here. Well… it's pool time. Right when I get ready to get in the water a blurry figure falls in the pool. I try to look under the water when Carlos pops out. Guess he tried the back flipping off the roof.

"WHOOO!" he yelled punching the air.

"Completely awesome right?" I ask him smiling.

"Really awesome" he says back. I try to help him out of the water by reaching my hand out. He takes my hand, but instead the jerk pulls me into the water. I swim back up for air and look for Carlos. I need to kill him. He's nowhere in sight. I go back under water, and still no Carlos. I can already hear that Jaws song in my head. I turn around and I see little ripples in the water coming my way. I start smirking and give a really loud girly scream. It was very real sounding. He pops out the water and starts attacking me with water splashes. I started to giggle a little and splashed back. When I had him distracted I jumped on his back I put my hands over his eyes. We kept splashing and attacking for what felt like hours.


A/N I love Carlos, he's so sweet. *Sigh*I almost cried while writing the flashback/dream. Maybe I'm just oversensitive though. That song featured was Misery Business by Paramore. Just review people okay. It'll make me update faster. Hint hint…

~Love,

I'm Adorkable~
