Chapter 10
(Drastic Measures)
*Skylar's POV*
~One week later~
"No- no. no. no. no." I complain digging my heels into the carpet unsuccessfully stopping my movement. My wrist is yanked forward and I am forced into stepping forward and walking. I groan and trudge on with Camille's hand tight around my wrist.
"You've had enough fucking time to wait. They are coming in today, and you are going to see them." she commands. I whine as she pushes me onto the couch in the lobby. She whips out her phone and types out a quick text. I cross my arms over my chest and try my best to look pissed, but really my heart is pump- no pounding almost out of my chest. I'm petrified and excited at the same time, but I don't even know why.
Her phone pings and her fingers start flying over the screen. Her face lights up and I feel my heart sink. I start to look around nervously, and the thought of taking off running goes through my head. My palms start to feel moist. I rub them on my new jeans and pray that Buddha Bob randomly comes up to me with a job. I know that neither Blair nor the twins will randomly come down here having left for the studio over an hour ago. But I still feel nervous for being out of Camille's place for only the third time this week. I'm still not completely use to being in large open spaces again. It just makes my skin buzz.
I tried going to work two days ago, but when Buddha Bob told me that 2I needed maintenance help I kinda sorta had a mini panic attack. Long story short he told me I should just take the rest of the month off. He would still pay me for my scheduled work. I tried to talk him out of it, but when beard man has decided. It is done.
"They will be here in 5 minutes." She says perkily. I just now notice her phone is back in her pocket.
"C-Camille…I don't- I don't think I'm ready yet." I stutter. She rolls her eyes and puts her hands on her hips.
"I don't know why you are freaking out. This is going to be great! I haven't told the guys yet and they are going to be so surprised! This is going to be the-" Her words go in one ear and out the other. My heart thuds in my chest when I see a long black limo pulling up to the front of the Palm Woods. I shoot up out of my seat and look to the doors with wide eyes. Camille stops whatever she had been saying and turns around to see what I'm looking at.
The doors to the limo open up and soon enough the four boys that make up Big Time Rush are walking our way. Camille squeals and takes off in a sprint and tackles Logan mid stride when they get four feet through the door. I wince as they fall to the ground painfully loud. The other boys help them up, but everything fades out when I make eye contact with a certain boy. I swear either the world or my heart stopped at that moment. I could no longer feel my heart throbbing in my chest.
Did it explode?
Everything felt like it was going too slow to be considered normal. He lets go of Logan's arm and squints in my direction. I raise my hand up slowly and give him a small wave, then time speeds back in hitting me like a tidal wave. His smile appears on his face, and then I forget why I was even nervous. He starts running my way, and sooner than I realize I'm picked up off the ground in a bone crushing hug.
When he puts me down I'm sniffling and wiping off tears that had unconsciously accumulated on my cheeks. His happy demeanor falls and he holds my face in-between his warm hands; eyes full of concern. I almost laugh at the circumstances. His thumbs simultaneously wipe away at the tracks on my cheeks.
"What's wrong?!" he asks worriedly. I put my hands on his and bring them away from my face. I smile weakly, and use my shoulder to wipe away the salty water.
"N-Nothing. I'm happy. I'm crying happy tears." I say. I let go of his hands and wrap my arms around his waist. He returns the hug and lays his head atop mine.
"When did you get back?!" he asks pulling away. I let him go reluctantly. I run my hand over my face once more before I get the guts to speak back up.
"I didn't really leave…I've been locked in my room for the past 3 months. Bianca and Camille got me out a week ago, and I've been staying with Camille since then…Blair hasn't caught me yet, and I'm trying to keep it that way. I don't know what she's going to do when she finally gets me." I admit out of nowhere. "You have to leave again today…don't you?" I ask weakly trying to get the focus off me. He nods solemnly.
"Yeah."
"How long?" I ask although I already know the answer. I just need conformation.
"2 months." he says not taking his eyes off mine. I laugh nervously and run a hand through my hair. I shake my head. Kendall comes up to the two of us and places a hand on Carlos's shoulder.
"We're leaving in 5 minutes." He says. He looks to me and smiles. In a way he looks relieved. "Hey Lindsey." Hey says with silent apology. He pats Carlos shoulder before he walks away, leaving Carlos and me to our thoughts.
"I-I do- I don't want you to leave me again." I say quietly. "This…this could be the last time I ever get to see you and you are leaving again in like 5 minutes." I murmur.
"No." he says firmly. "Don't think like that. You will be here when we come back, and everything will be fine!" he says. I decide not to argue with him. He smiles and tucks me under his arm.
"You know, I never got finished asking you something at the party…" he says with coy grin. I cock my head to the side in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"You know after we…after we kissed?" he asks with a blush coloring his already tan cheeks. I feel my face color at the memory, after when we kissed…and then I blanch.
Before I got abducted.
I move from under his arm and turn to face him.
"I was going to ask you…if- if you wanted to you know be my girlfriend? But you don't have to, only if you want to. It would suck and I would feel dumb if I asked you only for you to turn me down. I already feel stupid now because I don't even-" I giggle and place a finger to his lips shutting him up. He crosses his eyes to stare at it.
"Carlos," I say hesitantly. He looks at me. I take in a deep breath before I calmly say: ", I would be honored to be your girlfriend." His face immediately lights up, and he grins the biggest smile I've ever seen him smile. He goes to pull me into one of his famous Carlos hugs but James's voice stops him mid-action.
"HEY! WE'RE LEAVING LOS!" he shouts. Carlos groans and gives me a quick hug before jogging to catch up with the other boys. He turns around starts walking backwards to wave at me one last time. I give him a short wave back.
"I'll call you later!" he yells. I nod back and wave again. I watch him walk out the doors for the last time. Camille makes her way back over to me with a huge smile on her face.
"You really did miss him." I observe as I nudge her.
"Yeah…but I could say the same thing to you." She says raising an eyebrow suggestively. "Whenever I looked over her you were both being all cutesy and stuff." She says. I smile faintly.
"Yeah well guess what." I command.
"What?"
"Guess who has just gotten her very first boyfriend." I say nonchalantly.
"You're kidding!"
"Nope…he asked me a few seconds ago and he said he'd call me la- oh crap. Camille! I don't have his number!" I exclaim. All the space around me becomes over bearing and my breathing is short and labored. I grab the front of her shirt in fear. She unwinds my hands from her shirt.
"I'll give it to him. Don't worry, I got you girl." She says immediately stopping my oncoming panic attack. I take in a deep breath and blink. "Come on let's get you back to my place. You need to start getting out more." She says shaking her head. I nod and grab her wrist tightly.
Payback for earlier.
"Ouch." She complains. I smirk silently to myself.

2 hours later I'm pulling on a pair of shorts after taking a shower. I'm making my way back to sit on the floor at the foot of Camille's bed when I hear my phone buzz. I look at the locked bedroom door. Camille and her dad are gone to get food for dinner, they asked if I wanted to go, but I would rather lock myself in her room and watch my much missed cable. I sit on the soft carpet and go to read the message.
"Unfamiliar number eh?" I inquire aloud. I open the message.

About halfway through our texting Camille came in and was mocking me about it. I think Carlos and I texted each other until like 11 o'clock before he had to go saying that they had to get up early in the morning for setup or something. We said goodnight and then I put my phone on the charger.
Is it normal to be too jittery and happy to go to sleep after just texting someone?
Is it normal for my heart to nearly thump out my chest when I get a text from him?
Is it normal to love someone this early on in knowing them?
Because…
I think I love Carlos Garcia.
A/N ahhahahahahaha fast second chapter (NOT REALLY). You all deserved it though. After the hell I've put you all through in waiting. Or maybe you haven't really gone through that at all and this is just a story you see and are like 'oh yeah, I'm bored might as well read this next chapter'. Regardless of your reasons or mine, I'm happy to say I did this one fairly fast after ending the last one. I just put a little space in-between so you guys had time to review and for me to give the shout-outs. and now the next one will take time since one of my moms friends accidently deleted all of her computer data (including my storiees)...Anyhoo! Let's get quoting:)
