For the next couple of days, we just basically stayed in the crib. The guys never left my side, especially Carlos and Kendall. It was nice having 3 awesome brothers and an amazing boyfriend by my side all the time. They managed to try to get me to forget about the whole dad situation, but something inside me was always bringing it back. To think, I might actually have a half brother or sister? I just didn't know how to react about that one.
Man, if only my life was simpler. Why can't it be like just a normal life? I wish I could have a life with 2 happily married parents, have a best friend you can rely on anything for (although I already have that), go to normal school and have my life play out like how any other 17 year old girl has? I wish. But no. My life if messed up. I have a mother who died, a dad that left me when I was 3, and I live with 4 guys who happen to become like my brothers and who are in a band. Yep, normal life.
Why can't this all be a dream and I just wake up to 2 parents, but still have Carlos as my bestest friend in the world, Kendall as my loving boyfriend, and also still have Logan and James as the brothers I never had? If only life could be that simple...
"Hey Bails, wanna have a bestie day?" Carlos said, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Sure, but what about you guys?" I asked, looking at Kendall, James and Logan.
"I could hang out with Camille" Logan said, pulling out his phone, texting Cam I presume.
"Pool?" James asked Kendall, who nodded, gave me a quick kiss on the check and headed towards his room to get his stuff for the pool.
"Then I guess it's settled! Best friend day it is!" I said happily.
We decided to go hang out at the Palmwoods Park for the day.
I prepared a basket so we could have a mini picnic. I made some sandwiches, while he made our famous punch that still nobody knows what we did wrong when we were 10. Should I tell you? You can keep a secret right? Well... When we were 10, we couldn't exactly read recipes properly, so we accidentally put like 3 times the amount of sugar in it, along with some honey... Yes, I know, honey in puny sounds a tad odd.. But it did make it really good. As for the sugar, who cares how unhealthy it is! Everyone loves the stuff! So you better not tell anyone...
When we were ready, I decided to go into my room and get dressed, considering I was sorta in my pjs still... I got dressed in a nice sky blue polo shirt along with some skinny jeans. I quickly checked myself in the mirror before exiting my room and all I did was stare at my necklace. I kept it on for days. I never took it off except for in the shower. I just needed something to remind me that my mom and Carlos will always be there. Well I know Carlos is, but my mom, I still need something there. I don't know what my life would be like without Carlos, or any of the guys. If it wasn't for Carlos, I'd probably be living on the streets at the moment...
"Are you ready Bails?" Carlos called from outside my room.
"Yeah! Let me grab my phone!" I shouted back.
When we got to the park, we set everything down, and just laid there on the blanket. His arm was under my neck, and my head was under his arm. It was such a peaceful day, and I was spending it with my best friend.
"Not your boyfriend huh?" A familiar voice called out. "Seem pretty cozy from where I'm standing" Oh crap.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I snapped at him, yet almost going into tears again.
"Don't use that language with me. After all, I am your father" He smirked.
"I'm sorry, last time I recall, my so-called father was fucking another woman. So I don't think I know who he is, or have any memory of him at the moment" I grabbed Carlos, as he grabbed all our stuff, and we just left. When we got back to the Palm Woods, I ran into the crib crying my eyes out. Carlos came up to me, pulling me into his arms.
"Shh, it's okay" He said, trying to sooth me.
"No it's not. I thought I wouldn't have to see that 2 timing bastard again! But there he was, ruining our best friend day"
"Ok, he didn't ruin it. Technically, our best friend days are spending time with each other alone"
"Yeah, but it also means having fun. But there he goes, and ruins it" Just then, James and Kendall burst in through the door laughing with each other. Well, that was until they noticed me, and frowned. Kendall immediately ran to my side.
"Babe, what happened?" He said, taking Carlos' place and taking me into his arms.
"That asshole Gilbert showed up at the park when we were enjoying our day together" Carlos said, answering for me.
"He did what?" Kendall yelled.
"He showed up, and saw me and Carlos cuddled up together on the blanket like we always did, and was like 'Not your boyfriend huh? Seem pretty cozy from where I'm standing'" I said, saying his part in a low voice.
"Wait, why did he say 'not your boyfriend'?" Kendall asked, confused.
"A few days ago, when Carlos and I was at his place, he assumed Carlos was my boyfriend, and I said 'no, and if you were there for the past 14 years of my life, you would know that Carlos is my best friend since I was 5'" I said, tears still streaming down my face. A few moments later, Logan came in with Camille.
"Hey guys, what's wrong...?" Logan said, coming over to sit on the couch with us along with Camille. We told them the whole thing. Camille seemed confused, so we told her about the night at the park, and stuff.
"Wait, you never told us what happened with him that night" Logan said, causing everyone to stare at me and Carlos.
"Do you wanna say it? Or do to want me to?" He said.
"Um, we both will" I said, smiling at him. "So, when we got to his apartment, I asked him a few questions about where he's been this whole time, how he found me, and when it came to my biggest question, of why he left..." I sniffled. "H-he said he cheated on my mom, as in make some other bitch pregnant, and ran away" I started crying, burying my head into Kendall's chest, him pulling me closer to him.
"Wow. Now that makes him even more of a bastard" James said, causing me to let out a little giggle.
For the next couple of hours, we all just hung out in the crib, chatted, everyone asked me a few more questions about my dad, and well, Carlos answers most of them for me, considering I assume break into tears it I mention anything about him.
~KENDALL'S POV~
I just felt horrible. How could a girl like Bailey have such an ass of a father? She didn't deserve any of this crap. I didn't know what to do. But I knew that I couldn't let my love suffer through this. Then, I had an idea. But I needed Carlos' help.
"Hey Carlos, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone?"
"Um sure, I guess..." He said getting up, me doing the same, letting go of Bailey. We went into his and James' room.
"So what's up?" He asked, as I closed the door.
"I need your help on something"
"And that something would be..?" I told him my plan of how to help Bailey. He nodded, and we decided to do it later tonight.
We came out of his room, to find the others laughing, which was a good thing for Bailey. She needed some distraction from all this crap.
"What was that about?" She asked, as I pulled her back into my arms.
"Oh nothing" Carlos said, winking at me.
"Um.. ok..." She said, giving us a suspicious look. "How about we all go out and see a movie?"
"Sorry babe, me and Carlos have something to take care of"
"Oh ok" She frowned. "Do you guys still wanna go?" She asked James and Logan. They both nodded and she went to her room. To get dressed I suppose.
~BAILEY'S POV~
I went into my room to get dressed. While I was picking something out, just kept thinking what they were hiding from me. Carlos has never hidden anything. Ever.
I set those thoughts aside, and picked out a nice casual outfit. (OUTFIT) I still had the necklace on. Ever do I take it off now. Well, you know, other than when I shower...
I came out of my room and only saw Logan and James there.
"Where's Carlos and Kendall?" I questioned the two.
"They left a few minutes ago" James answered
"Oh, ok. Ready to go?"
"Yeah" Logan said, both of them getting off the couch, and heading towards the door.
~CARLOS'S POV~
I felt bad for hiding all this from Bailey. I've never hidden anything from her. Not ever. But I was doing this for her. Although, in an way, it still felt so wrong, because I was doing this behind her back.
We arrived at an apartment I thought I would never have to see again, but here we were. We went in and headed for the elevators, and pressed the floor we were heading up to. When the elevator got there, I guided Kendall towards a familiar hallway, leading up to a home I wish I never came to again.
Before we knocked on the door, we heard yelling and screaming from inside. It sounded like he was arguing with someone. Kendall and I exchanged looks when a woman bursted out of the door, hitting Kendall flat in the face.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry son" She said, trying to see if Kendall was ok.
"It's ok, I shouldn't have been standing right in front of the door" He said, removing his hand from his face, revealing a slight black eye.
"Are you sure you're ok Kendall?" She asked. Wait, how did she know his name? Kendall looked at her weird. "Sorry, my daughter is a huge fan of Big Time Rush"
"Oh, well thank you, I guess"
"So, what are you boys doing here?"
"Oh, um we came to see an old friend" I said.
"Well, if your old friend is that douche bag, I wouldn't believe you" She said, chuckling a little.
"Why? What happened? If you don't mind me asking" I said.
"Well, it's a bit of a long story" She said, gesturing that we sit down. We both sat down on the floor next to her. "Oh, wait I'm Sandy, by the way" My eyes widened. Didn't Gilbert say that chick he made pregnant's name was Sandy?
"Your daughter wouldn't happen to be around 14 would she?" I asked
"She's 13, turning 14 soon. Why?"
"My best friend is Bailey. Bailey Walsh" With that, her eyes widened. "She's your daughter's half sister"
AN: Sorry I haven't updated in awhile... PLEASE DON'T HATE ME... I've had slight writer's block... :D so what do you think about Sandy? And how will Bailey react when she finds out what Carlos and Kendall are up to? ;)
I would just like to make a shout out to seethrutheglass for that review. Thank you so much, it made my day when I read it :)
Please review :)
