Hello readers. I do not own the guys who make up Big Time Rush. I don't own "Break Even" or "According To You" either. I felt the songs fit well into the story when Kendall and Arianna are alone explaining their heartbreak to each other.

"Good morning looser," I said opening the door of James's car.

"Good morning doofus," James said kissing my cheek. "I missed you."

"You did not you liar."

"I did too miss you!"

I watched him during the entire drive to set. He looked genuinely happy to be sitting there next to me for the short car ride. It was cute watching him get angry when someone cut him off in traffic. I could tell he wanted to shout some sort of obscenity but he refrained from it. Every so often he would look at me and smile. It was the same smile that made my heart melt the first time I saw it. I smiled back and he parked the car.

"We're here," he said breaking me from my daze.

"I don't want to be here. I want to be over there," I said pointing to anything but the studio as I got out of the car.

"That's a dumpster, Arianna. I don't think you want to be over there," James said wrapping his arms around me. "Don't you like being here with me?"

"I do but I don't want to be here at work. Work is stupid," I sighed looking into his sad puppy dog eyes. I gave him my own puppy dog eyes.

"It will be over before you know it.

I hate to say it but James was right. The day was over sooner than I had thought. The next thing I knew was I was back in James's car on my way home. He looked at me before he started up the vehicle to drive away. I was given that I told you so smirk. The same smirk James loved to give me when he was right.

"Oh shut up," I sighed. "You were right. Ok, James you were right."

"I didn't say a word," James said.

"You didn't have to your eyes did. They were saying 'I told you so.'"

"They were not. They were saying 'I love you Arianna.' So there." He stuck his tongue out at me like a child would.

"You're such a dork." I quickly kissed him and exited the car and walked up the pavement to the mansion. I turned around and waved goodbye to him.


"Arianna can't you answer your phone. James just called me saying you're not answering your phone," Staci shouted while she pounded on my bedroom door.

"It died last night so it's off and charging. What the hell does he want," I groaned. It was Saturday and I desperately wanted to sleep in.

"Aren't you two supposed to go riding today," Logan chimed in. I had to be dreaming what was Logan doing in my house?

I opened the door to find Staci, Logan, and Carlos standing outside the door. Two people were missing. Then Kendall walked up behind them making only one person missing. I looked at Staci slightly confused as to why everyone was here.

"Arianna I told you last night that the guys and I are going to hang out by the pool today," Staci said. She handed me her phone. "Here talk to lover boy."

I grabbed her phone and closed my bedroom door. I noticed Kendall and Carlos staring at me in my pajamas. It wasn't like I was wearing something extremely revealing just shorts and a t-shirt. I didn't know what was so special about it, until I remembered the scar that ran up my thigh. Everyone has their accidents growing up mine just gave me a few stitches up my leg after I fell into a jump riding. It was the day my dad threatened to sell Storm.

"I am no lover boy," James said.

"James, it's me," I said. "Sorry I forgot about today. I'll go get ready now. I just need to change and tack up the horses. It'll take me about twenty minutes. You can just come over now if you want. They guys and Staci are out by the pool."

"Can't I just come to the stable to help you?"

"Well yeah you could do that too. The stable is behind my dad's house. I'm sure you saw it when you picked me up."

"I'll see you soon," James said before the line went dead.

I sighed and change out of my bed clothes and into something more appropriate for horseback riding. I then walked out to the barn to find James cooing over the horses. Instead of moving forward I stood there and watched him. Moments later I decided I shouldn't keep him waiting any longer.

"She was my mom's. I named her Princess." I said petting the horses muzzle and unlatching the stall door to lead her out.

"Princess?"

"Yeah because she looks like a Princess," I said about the brown and white paint horse. "You my friend will be riding Jazz. He's the bay in the back stall if you want to get him out."

James walked to the back of the barn and brought out Jazz, my gaming horse. I was proud of Jazz he won me multiple barrel racing competitions.

"Think you can handle him," I asked.

"He doesn't look that bad," James said patting the horses shoulder.

"He's a champion barrel racer. He's got loads of speed."

"I can handle him."

"Do you two mind if we join you?" Carlos said. He was standing at the front of the stable with Kendall. "You see Miss Owens and Mr. Henderson are having a make out fest by the pool."

"What can't Mr. Pena's stomach handle that," James joked.

"We were not sitting there watching them play tonsil hockey any longer. I was beginning to think I was going to have to find them a condom or something," Kendall said.

I for one was disgusted just by listening to them explain what was going on. I brought out two more horses for Carlos and Kendall. Big Al was my dad's horse that he used for lessons. The big grey gelding just stood in the isle without being hooked up while I searched for another decent lesson horse. I settled on Hannah a chestnut mare.

"Kendall you've got Big Al over there and Carlos you have Hannah," I said while pointing to the respecting horses.

"Ha I got the prettier one," Carlos said wrapping his arms around Hannah's neck.

I looked at James and mouthed "I'm sorry." I knew he wanted to spend time alone with me today, but I couldn't let Carlos and Kendall suffer through a make out session. James helped me tack up the horses for our trail ride and it wasn't long before we were on the trail up the mountain.

I didn't mind having extra company on the ride. More people meant that if something happened there were others to help. It was fun having them along. Carlos wouldn't stop complaining the entire time and Kendall couldn't stay balanced. James on the other hand couldn't stop yelling at the both of them and I couldn't stop laughing at all of it. They say laughter is the best medicine and today it really was.

We returned from our ride a few hours later and decided to light a fire in the pit by my pool. Kendall got out his guitar and we started singing together.

"Do you know this one," he asked me and started playing The Script's 'Break Even'

I nodded and began singing.

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her 1st
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven

What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

Kendall began to sing along with me.

They say bad things happen for a reason
But not wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven
"

What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains
Cos you left me with no love, no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Kendall and I then got some time alone while the other decided to go for a swim.

"I had that song on replay ever since you started dating James. Gosh Arianna I was stupid to think I didn't have to work for your heart."

"I was wondering why you played it. You know my heart shattered that day you looked past me and to Staci. I had a song on replay too. Have you heard the song "According To You'," I asked him and he shook his head. "Well then I'll sing a little bit for you. Not the whole thing of course."

"I need to feel appreciated
like I'm not hated
Oh, no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me dizzy
"

According to me
you're stupid
you're useless
you can't do anything right

But according to him
I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head

According to him
I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite
I don't feel like stopping it
Baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you

"Hey that's the song you had on repeat last week," Staci said getting out of the pool. "It's prettier when you sing it."

"She's right it really is," James said wrapping his wet arms around me and kissing the top of my head. I could see Kendall glaring at him through the corner of my eye.

"I think we should get going," Carlos said noticing the glare on Kendall's face. "It is pretty late. I'll see you two on Monday." He walked over and hugged Staci and I.

"Yeah we'll see you on Monday," the others said.

James lingered behind and kissed me goodbye. He was cold from swimming but I still enjoyed being there with him by the fire.

I hope you liked it. Please review. I'm not getting many and it's really making me upset that it's only just the same person reviewing every chapter.
