Chapter Thirteen
Que Sera
Carlos's POV
Kendall, James, Logan, and I are standing around in the recording booth, waiting for Gustavo to finish talking to Griffin.
"I can't believe the girls are living right next door to us!" Kendall exclaims. Every since yesterday, he has been angry over the fact that Elena, Amanda, Erika, and Kameryn were moved in next door to us.
"Trust me, you're not the only one who is angry over this." Logan says, leaning against a wall. "I thought they were out of our lives for good."
"Que Sera." I say. "Whatever will be, will be."
"Dude, please tell me you did not just quote Hannah Montana." James groans.
"No." I say. "My mom used to tell me that all the time when I was younger."
"Okay then." James says. "But I agree with Kendall and Logan. This sucks that the girls have to live next door to us for who knows how long! It's pretty clear that Elena and Kendall aren't going to make up anytime soon, and neither are Kameryn and Logan. And now Amanda and I are in a fight."
"You guys should really try to fix your relationships and have one like Erika and I." I say.
"Oh, well excuse us for not being the poster children for healthy relationship like you and Erika." Kendall sneers. "How could Elena just get mad at me like that? She's the one who just left me in the middle of that party!"
"Amanda promised me should we never leave me." James says. "And what did she do? She goes and runs off!"
"Your guys' problems aren't as worst as mine!" Logan says. "At least you guys got to spend more time with your girls. It took me and Kameryn getting kidnapped for us to finally kiss!"
"Stop!" I scream. Kendall, James, and Logan stop talking and Logan at me. "Look, you three are upset that the girls are moving in next door, and trust me, Elena, Amanda, and Kameryn probably aren't happy over the situation either. But, our lives may in danger they are the ones who can protect us. No one is saying that we have to start dating them again and fall in love all over again. But we can at least keep peace with them, right?"
"Dogs!" Gustavo voice boomed in the recording studio. We all flinch and look through the glass to see Gustavo and Kelly standing there. "Get out here now!"
The four of us quickly shove and push our way past each other till we finally make it out the booth. We stand up straight as Gustavo begins to address us.
"There's going to be another recording artist here with us for the next several weeks." Gustavo announces. "And I expect you dogs to behave properly."
"Please be a pretty girl." James whispers. Kendall elbows him in the side, causing James to yelp.
"What did I say about behaving?" Gustavo screams. We all flinch and the door to the studio opens.
And Kameryn enters.
I can see Logan trying to hide his anger. He is biting his lip and his fists are curled into a fist.
"Dogs, this is Kameryn Clarke. She is a pianist/singer, and Griffin is hoping to make her the next Taylor Swift. You five will be recording alongside each other for a couple weeks…"
"Gustavo!" Logan interrupts. "Don't you think Kameryn should be offered her own recording sessions, away from us?"
"I agree with..." Kameryn trails off. "I'm sure I don't know your name."
I bit my own lip to prevent myself from laughing over the fact that Kameryn has to pretend not to know us.
"It's Logan." Logan says through clenched teeth.
"Well I agree with Logan. I don't want to ruin their recording sessions." Kameryn says.
"The dogs can suck it up for the next several weeks. Now, you five get to know each other." Gustavo and Kelly walk out the room. As soon as the door is shut, Logan and Kameryn are already in each others' faces.
"You just had to come to Rocque Records, didn't you?" Logan complains. "Do you hate me that much?"
"Don't you dare say that I hate you Logan Mitchell!" Kameryn yells. "You don't know me at all!"
"Well I do know that you like to leave me heartbroken in the middle of parties!" Logan yells back.
"I did that to protect you!"
"I can handle myself!"
Kendall, James, and I share a look. Then the three of us shove Kameryn and Logan into the recording booth and lock the door behind them. They continue to yell at each other, but luckily we can't hear them.
"Dogs!" Gustavo yells from behind us. The three of us turn around and look at him. "Why are Logan and Kameryn locked in the recording booth?"
"We just sense a spark between them." Kendall says with a smirk. "We figured it be a better way for them to get to know each other better."
"I love it!" Gustavo shouts. Kendall, James, and I look at each other, confused. Gustavo hits a button, and Logan and Kameryn turn cover their ears inside the booth. "What!" Logan yells into the microphone.
"I have a brilliant idea!" Gustavo declares. "You two are going to date!"
Erika's POV
"Come on guys, this won't be so bad." I say as Elena, Amanda, and I make our way to down the hall of the Palm Woods and to the elevator. "We don't have to go searching for East, Ciri, Janessa, Vivian, Samantha, and Astoria this time. We just have to protect the guys."
"Yeah but we have to see them everyday." Amanda points out. "And I don't want to see James after finding out that he is dating that girl when he kissed me."
"He still likes you." I say as the three of us step into the elevator. "What if he dumps Rachel to get you back?"
"That doesn't change anything. I'm so done with James Diamond." Amanda declares as she presses the lobby button.
"You're going to give Kendall a chance, right Elena?" I ask. Elena turns her head towards me. "No way!" She exclaims. "After the way he yelled at me, he can just forget I ever existed. And he has Jo now."
"Look, we left the guys a year ago so they could move on." I say. "And they did. So shouldn't we be proud of them?"
"Come on Erika." Elena sighs. "Did you really believe that they were actually going to move on from us? I'm actually shocked that Kendall moved on. Believe it or not, I'm hurt that he did."
"We're making a break through here!" I exclaim as the elevator begins its journey downward. "All you two need to do is sit down with Kendall and James and explain to them how hurt you were by them."
"We can barely stand to be within twenty feet of them." Amanda states. "What makes you think we can sit down and talk with them?"
"Maybe Kameryn will do it." I suggest. Elena lets out a laugh. "Yeah, Kameryn of all people." Elena says. "The girl is an emotionless robot now. I have never once seen her yell at someone. Now she acts like nothing in the world has color. Like there is nothing to laugh about, cry about, like there is nothing to live for in general. I don't even know Kameryn anymore."
"And did you see the way she yelled at Logan?" Amanda adds. "I thought she was going to kill him."
"The worst part is she has to go to Rocque Records with them all day for the next several weeks till this thing blows over." Elena says. "I won't be surprised if Big Time Rush is a trio by the end of today."
We finally reach the lobby and the three of us step out. Kids move about and we make our way over to the pool. The three of us find a table in the back corner and sit down.
"That's Stephanie." I say, pointing to the dark haired girl with a camera sitting with some guy on a beach chair. "The one who Carlos was dating."
"Which one is Jo Elena?" Amanda asks.
"The blonde one kissing that guy over there!" Elena whispers. I turn my head to see in fact that Jo Taylor is in fact kissing some guy who is not Kendall.
"No way!" A little girl behind us exclaims. We turn to see a twelve year old girl with light brown hair staring at Jo and the guy.
"You okay?" I ask the girl.
"No!" The girl says. "That's my brother's girlfriend!"
"Are you serious?" I say, playing stupid. "Wow, that is so mean."
The girl emerges from the bushes she was in and pulls up a chair at our table. "I'm Katie Knight."
"I'm Erika Castriel." I say, shaking Katie's hand. "I'm an upcoming actress in an upcoming T.V. show."
"Elena Caridth." Elena says, waving hello to Katie. "Background dancer on a television show."
"Dance, Dance?" Katie asks. Elena nods her head, playing along with the role Agent Gomez gave her.
"And I'm Amanda Anderson." Amanda says. "Upcoming actress in a new movie."
"Sweet." Katie says. "Well, as I said. I'm Katie Knight. I live here with my brother and his friends."
"Awesome." I say. "So Katie, are you planning on getting back at your brother's girlfriend?"
"You bet I am." Katie says, a devilish grin on her face. "Want to help?"
We all nod our heads and follow Katie out of the pool and up to her apartment. "Sweet apartment Katie." I say as the four of us enter. "Is that a swirly slide?"
"Yeah." Katie says. "You can try it out if you want."
"I'm fine." I laugh. Katie shakes her head, and I give her a puzzled look. "Carlos would kill you if he heard you say that." She explains. "But you three can meet them later. Right now, we have revenge to plan."
