SONIA'S POV
I knocked on the door. Again. For like the fifth time.
"Dammit James, it's 8 o'clock. Where is this girl?"
"Soni, she's coming. Don't worry."
Finally, FINALLY she opened the door. "Mira," I told her, "you need to see this."
MIRA'S POV
My sister shoved a magazine into my hands.
"Big Time Chordstruck?
It seems that Mira Mitchell of Chordstruck, a new hit band of LA is dating Kendall Knight, lead singer of Big Time Rush. And rumor has it that the other members of the band Sarah and Grace are also dating celebrities. Are the girls really here for the music? Or for the Big Time Fame?"
"What the actual fuck? I actually like Kendall!" I was breathing so hard right now. How dare they say that stuff about us!
"Mira, calm down. I just wanted you to know-"
"Sonia, this isn't fair! I finally get a nice, normal boyfriend and paparazzi has to screw it all up!"
"You might want to see the picture...-wait BOYFRIEND?!"
I laughed nervously. "Yeah...about that. Um, Kendall called me his girlfriend last night. Anyway..." I flipped to page 24 where the picture was.
It was huge. A blown up picture of that perfect kiss yesterday. "HOW DID SOMEONE EVEN GET-Wait... Jo."
"Jo?" James questioned.
I nodded. "She was in the elevator last night, and got pissed off when he called me his girlfriend. But how in the hell did she get this?"
Callie, Grace, and Sarah walked out of their rooms. "Mira."
"Yeah Sars?"
"Camille...she lives across the hall from us."
"And?"
"Well Jo could've taken the steps back down...I'm not saying she did, but it IS possible."
I sighed. "Yeah, I guess. Thanks Sarah."
Sonia gave me a hug. "Don't worry, kiddo. We'll get this sorted out."
I guess I left the door open in my state of shock, because Logan and Carlos came running in with Kendall close behind. He enveloped me in a huge hug and kissed my forehead.
"I am so sorry about all of this, Mira."
"How are we going to fix this, Kendall?"
" I don't know. But we will. I promise, we will."
KENDALL'S POV
*1 HOUR LATER*
"What?!" I shrieked.
"Kendall, you need this good publicity."
"No, Gustavo! I just got Mira, I'm not going to date Jo. I won't do it. I'm sorry. I won't."
*FLASHBACK*
We walked to the studio talking about how to fix this whole...situation. I held Mira's hand on the way here. She really needed the support. I stopped short when I entered the studio. James came up to me.
"What is SHE doing here?" He pointed to Jo's publicist, who was currently talking to Gustavo and an exasperated Kelly.
"Good question. Let's find out." I walked straight into Gustavo's office.
"Good, Kendall, you're here. You need to start dating Jo again."
*END FLASHBACK*
Mira came up and held my hand. I gave hers a squeeze.
"Kendall." Claire, her publicist talked to me as if I was a 4 year old who couldn't understand English. "It's good for both you AND Jo."
"What is it you don't understand? I. Won't. Do. It."
"Guys," Kelly cut in, "Kendall's right." Gustavo and Claire whipped around to look at Kelly. "It's his decision. And you really can't go through with it if Kendall doesn't agree." I stood behind her and nodded.
"Listen...Kelly is it? Kendall is going to date Jo. That's final. And it's good publicity. So Gustavo agrees, right?" Claire sneered at Kelly.
"Well...yes. But Mira, Grace, and Sarah are also signed to Rocque Records..."
"Perfect." Claire sported a sickly sweet grin.
"Wait!"
"What Kendall?" Gustavo sighed.
"Fake."
"Excuse me?" Claire gasped.
I gave her a weird look. "FAKE date. In no way, shape, or form am I taking Jo back. If we have to do this-IF- I will only fake date her."
"What?" Mira sounded shocked...and sad.
"Mira...-"
"Gustavo, can we record now? Please?"
Gustavo looked a little skeptical. "Um, sure Mira. Are Grace and Sarah ready?"
"Yeah."
She let go of my hand and walked into the booth. Dammit! I just got her...and now I feel like I'm losing her.
MIRA'S POV
I need to sing. My music soothes me. I grabbed Grace and Sarah and pulled them into the booth.
"We're going to record 'Heart Attack' guys."
"Are...are you sure? We haven't worked on it much and the harmonies-"
"We can do it, Grace. Gustavo, let's go."
I heard the music start and closed my eyes. I started to sing and let myself go.
"Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
When I don't care
I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketballBut you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yeah you, make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow, but I cover up
Won't let it show, so I'm
Puttin' my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurtsBut you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume
For you, make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your handYou make me glow, but I cover up
Won't let it show, so I'm
Puttin' my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames"
I saw them all staring at us with their mouths hanging open at that harmony part. It's my favorite, too. I just hope Kendall sees how much he means to me.
"You make me glow, but I cover up
Won't let it show, so I'm
Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack"
I couldn't look at him anymore. I think this is it. I'm not ready for Hollywood.
