Roses at Midnight 6

"Prim? What are you still doing up?" Nikki's voice surprised the young girl as she drew yet another picture.

The small child jumped a little, having been so lost in her own work that she completely forgot others lived in the same house as her, "Oh! I'm sorry, Miss Nikki...I was making you a picture..."

She held up the picture of sunny day with them two in it, throwing in a cute smile to try and avoid trouble. She kept forcing the smile even when her mother figure rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile a bit herself.

"I see," the older knelt down to her level, kissing her forehead gently, "get some sleep, sweetie. Thank you for the picture."

"No problem!" she giggled, "nighty night!" She bounced off, and the adoption mother couldn't help but smile weakly as she noticed all the pictures Prim had made for her.

At least she was trying to be helpful...


Kendall had his newfound poteintal lover heavy on his mind as he stared up at the ceiling of his bedroom. James snored softly from the other side of the room, since they shared a bedroom for lack of space in the entire 'crib', but he wasn't much help when he was asleep himself.

"Well shoot," he sighed softly, punching his pillow as he rolled heavily on his side, closing his eyes and trying his hardest to get a little sleep...


Katie Knight was not a fool.

She could tell that two of her older brothers, (meaning the BTR boys,) were love sick. The way Kendall had stumbled in just as she was waking up that morning, looking so exhausted but so awake at the time, and the way James called it kind of earlier than usual before that indicated something was seriously up.

These were typical signs of love sickness.

Now all she had to do was stalk-she meant meeet-the girl they were crushing so hard on...


Carlos sighed softly a bit, setting down his game controler. He'd been playing around with some of their video games because he was the first to wake up, like usual, but it was tiresome when he had his mind on something.

Everyone else had (at least) a signifiagant other.

James and Kendall were both falling hard for Nikki, and Katie had Tyler. Logan had Camille, and even if he and Nikki didn't work out, (which he doubted,) Kendall obviously had Lucy, too.

He was the only lonely teenage boy.

Sure, he crushed on a Jennifer...hard. That wasn't his fault, but she was so ladylike and all...she would never fall for a guy like him, anyway. They'd had one date, but without James there, he would've screwed up the first three minutes of it, even before they got to the dinner place.

So where could he get a true love, too?


"I'll be thinking 'bout you Worldwide, Worldwide..."

Nikki couldn't help but harmoize with her iPod (that had every BTR song ever on it) as she cleaned up the kitchen. She realized her daughter was asleep, but since she was a heavy sleeper, it probably didn't matter...it was the afternoon by now, anyway.

Her thoughts wandered to Kendall and James only a couple of times. She had a very busy life, anyway, trying to juggle caring for a child, bills, avoiding her parents, possibly getting a record deal...

What time would she possibly have for romance?


Admittley, Lucy was curious about this next girl, Nikkiel Garcia.

For a while, she'd had a thing for Kendall herself. But while she didn't have a lot of evidence about it, she had a pretty good suspion that Nikki had a eye for him as well, or was at least starting to get one. But she also might like James; she'd noticed his caramel brown hair in the bushes under the tree hat and decided he'd fallen for yet another beautiful girl.

Typical James Diamond.

But ever since his girlfriend left him in the dust, Kendall Knight wasn't one to fall for another so quickly.

He'd been trying hard, too. But apparently she was changing everything on his precaption on dating, unlike her, who'd liked him at first as a friend when she moved in, and now for something more.

Lucy Combs was detirmined not to let him go without a fight.
