You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees
Adele- Melt My Heart To Stone
As Jett started up the quad and it surged forward so did my body though the opposite way. I found myself desperately grasping onto Jett's form to stop myself from falling and loosing what little dignity I had left.
He led his minions down to the edge of the beach and around a bend which was completely derelict, away from the crowd and away from anybody else's prying eyes.
I pushed the heavy helmet off of my head letting it thud onto the sand below as Jett and his duo got off theirs and took off their helmets placing them on their vehicles. Jett turned to me and grinned.
"I'm not here to steal you away, I just think you're beautiful and the way Kendall treated you today and had been treating you is wrong."
"If you're trying to charm me you're gonna have to try a lot harder than that." I rolled my eyes at what Jett had said; I wasn't someone to be easily charmed.
"Would I ever do that? News travels fast about couples in Florida, just telling you to be careful."
"And why would you tell me that?"
"Because I'm a nice person."
"Really? Somehow I find that hard to believe."
"Just trying to help."
"But why?"
"Because, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other soon."
"Well I have a feeling that you're completely delusional." Jett just chuckled dryly at my words.
"I think you're delusional if you think Kendall loves you."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you seen what he's been doing with my girlfriend for the whole day? He's a player, we both know. He went out with Mercedes for two hours; you don't know who she is? She picks demos for your daddy's company. I just want you to be careful."
"Why the hell do you want me to be careful, I've never met you before!"
"But I know who the real Kendall Knight is. Has he taken you to a romantic dinner?"
"No bu-"
"Has he brought you anything romantic like flowers and chocolates?"
"...No..."
"Has he ever sung you a song just for you or privately?"
"No."
"Have you had sex yet?"
"Yes."
"Did he act like it didn't happen afterwards?"
"Yes..."
"And you haven't gone official yet, I know that."
"No... we haven't."
"Has he told you he loves you?"
"Just stop it... please." By now my voice was a frail whisper and my heart was in tatters. This guy who I had never even met before had just completely broken me within minutes.
"Echo." Jett said softly, I brought my eyes up to his reluctantly as he continued to speak. "Show Kendall what he's missing out on. I'm just trying to help, I'm not a bad guy; don't judge people before you know them."
All I seemed to do was judge people.
I sighed and nodded hesitantly, he was right.
"C'mon then, look happy. You don't need him. Cry when you're not around him and listen, if you ever need a shoulder to cry on call me. Camille has my number." Before I could even question why or what was going to happen next Jett and his crew were pulling on their helmets and getting on their quads.
/
By the time we had reached where we were supposed to be everyone was already there and a track was set out. Kendall was sitting on a blue quad bike with a blue helmet in the elderly guy's hand who was talking to him, encouraging him.
The crowd were murmuring to each other by the time Jett parked next to Kendall.
"It's time for Jett to win his bet." Jett smirked at his rhyming as I clambered off the rumbling vehicle, pulling off the helmet and throwing it on a nearby hay bale.
I was about to set off so I could stand next to Camille but the elderly guy spoke up.
"Echo you're not going anywhere. You're the prize! Sit over there." The elderly guy pointed to some chair stacked on a few hay bales, I looked at him incredulously but he just pointed to the area until I finally climbed onto the chair.
Sandy appeared out of nowhere, walking in between the two bikes with sunglasses on and a mean face. She ripped the red ribbon out of her hair which still stayed up in a pony tail. She held it up signalling the start of the race then waved it once in a downward motion to the ground.
Jett's engine rumbled and started off straight away leaving a trail of sand in the air after him.
"Put it in gear!" James shouted at Kendall who still hadn't started yet. The crowd all started to comment and mix into a blur of noise as Kendall finally got the engine working and floored it, riding off around the course at a dangerous speed until he caught up to Jett.
I sat just staring at the two vehicles, not uttering a word as they rounded corners and raced each other. The crowd, especially James, Carlos, Logan, Camille and Annie all screaming for Kendall to win.
"Goddamnit! He's fucking loosing!" Logan cursed as they both rounded a tight corner and Jett managed to pull forward a slight lead though Kendall countered, coming around the outside of Jett. The crowd was cheering until Jett used foul play, bumping into Kendall sending him off the track.
I couldn't help but gasp and glue my eyes to Kendall's form to see if he was alright as the rest of the guy's started to shout curses and insults at Jett.
I was confused to why Kendall was still driving, following Jett when he couldn't get back into the course... that was until Kendall floored it, going up a hidden ramp and flying over Jett's vehicle and winning the race.
Well that was a short race.
The crowd cheered happily as Kendall stopped next to them, pulling off his helmet as they all flocked him, smiling and congratulating.
Jett on the other hand had ripped off his helmet, shouting at his two sidekicks blaming them for his loss.
Does anyone notice how I'm still sitting up on this chair?
I jumped off the chair when I caught Sandy trotting up to Kendall, her sunglasses off and a huge smile on her face. As I came closer I saw that she had Kendall's beach towel in her hands.
"Kendall! I know that you raced to impress me and I will totally take you back."
"Sandy, you're not my girlfriend-" Kendall began but I cut him off.
"Hey Sandy!" I called, coming up behind her. As she turned to see me I raised my hand, bringing it to slap her face. The forced sent her stumbling backwards and dropping the towel.
The crowd went silent as Sandy gathered herself, looking into my eyes. She obviously didn't like what she saw because she bolted straight over to Jett, grabbing his arm and pulling him away.
"See I told you Kendall, everything works out in the end, now all we need is a big ending beach song." The elderly guy appeared for the umpteenth time today, coming to stand next to me. I looked at the old guy instead of Kendall or any familiar faces in the crowd.
"Hey! How would you guys like to come and rock Russell Brand's beach party?" I was surprised when Katie popped up out of nowhere in a smart black suit like she was some bodyguard.
"Katie?" The guys asked peering at the young girl; she just smiled and waved once.
"What are you doing here? Where's mom?" Kendall asked confused.
"Where's Asha?" I asked slightly worried at the fact my sister was missing.
"I'm here because Russell Brand needs a rocking band to sing at his private party. Mom is already next door, helping the lasts of getting ready and Asha is swooning over Russell Brand." Katie summed up in two sentences easily and smoothly.
"PARTY!" Carlos screeched loudly causing an uproar in the crowd and then groups of them running and skipping away happily, in the direction of Russell Brand's beach house. Katie had disappeared again and so had the old guy.
"C'mon Kendall, what are you waiting for?" Logan asked. James had set off with Annie and Carlos set off with the Jennifers. When I turned back around Camille –who was standing next to Logan, holding his hand- caught my eye as Kendall had gotten off his bike and was having a discussion with Logan out of earshot.
Before I could even run away and scream murder Camille was by my side and pulling me away from the guys.
"Echo! Why aren't you thanking Kendall?"
I honestly almost slapped her just then.
"Do you want me to remind you about today?" I growled harshly at her, my speed increasing marching over the sandy banks, leaving a mist of sand in the air behind me.
"Well yeah but he just raced for you and he wants you!"
"Camille. I hold grudges."
"Yeah but-"
"Camille, you know what? I'm fed up of you fucking being the third person in my love life. If you think so highly of Kendall why don't you go and shag him? Do me a favour and get him out of my sight and with someone else. HE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT ME!" I exploded acting completely irrationally before storming away.
Little did I know a certain bushy eye browed caterpillar was in earshot...
/
I didn't go to the beach house. Well for an hour. I spent that hour wandering around the surrounding area, trying to figure out what was going on in my head. What Kendall was to me and what I was to him. I already regretted what I said to Camille, it was harsh and stupid but she did deserve it. I just couldn't admit that I was wrong. I felt guilt when I replayed the scene in my head multiple times until I went insane. Observing every little thing that went on during the day, asking myself what I did wrong and what the fuck I should do next.
When I eventually decided to make an appearance at Russell Brand's beach party it was crowded and set mostly outside. His house and pool was lush!
His outside was completely decked with fancy wood which were covered with people, there were chefs cooking outside, an ice sculpture, several buffets, a chocolate fountain, lights, a stage set up, a bar, a dance floor, tables and a freaking jelly bean statue of Russell Brand's face!
After drowning myself in smooth chocolate-y goodness for about 10 minutes Asha skipped up to me with a friend grinning from ear to ear.
"Echo! There you are! Everyone had been waiting for you." Asha said from behind, after swallowing an inhumane amount of chocolate covered marshmallows I turned, nearly chocking on my gooey marshmallows when I saw Russell Brand smiling in all of his English glory next to her.
He's fucking hot!
"Echo, I've heard a lot about you, I'm-"
"I know who you are..." I uttered out, my eyes going as wide as plates as I stared at the sexy male before me. I was nearly swooning in my spot from his English accent and his adorable smile and the way he laughed when I spoke all star struck.
"Well then, let me personally introduce myself." He spoke, sticking out his hand in the space between us. "I'm Russell Brand."
"Echo Kimberleigh." I knew I was blushing like I had committed some felony as our hands touched; his skin was so calloused and tough.
I barely noticed Asha skipping off, calling out that she was going to find Katie as my eyes were caught in dark orbs that were so intense I nearly melted into a hot mess on the ground.
"May I say you are absolutely beautiful my dear, Kendall is one lucky guy." The smile that was forming on my face completely transformed into a slight frown and pouty lips.
"I'm sorry, come again?"
"Kendall, he's lucky to have you. He speaks so highly of you, everyone does."
"Oh... uh, you see-"
"You're going through a rough patch, I know. So Big Time Rush are going to perform now and their song, I think links in to the troubles you two have been having." Literally as soon as Russell had finished his sentence spotlights and music began to boom, filling the night air.
My mouth was still open in shock as the music continued to intro and Kendall suddenly appeared, his eyes locked onto mine as he began to sing.
Get a call on a random afternoon
I pick it up and I see that it's you
Like my heart, you were breaking the news
You say it's over, it's over, it's over
Heading out, cuz I'm outta my mind
All my friends are gonna see me tonight
Staying here, till the sun start's to rise
And I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
Dance hard, laugh more
Turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar
Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
Till I forget about you.
Jump up, fall down
Gotta play it loud now.
Don't care, my head's
Spinning all around now.
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
Till I forget about you.
I thought I'd be here on my own
Waiting for you to knock on my door
Since you left, I don't wait by the phone
And I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving.
I found a place where I can lose myself
And just leave your memory on the shelf.
See I'm fine, no I don't need nobody else
Cuz I'm going, I'm going, I'm going
To dance hard, laugh more
Turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar
Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
Till I forget about you.
Jump up, fall down
Gotta play it loud now.
Don't care, my head's
Spinning all around now.
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
Till I forget about you.
spending money like you don't mean a thing
I'm going crazy now I don't even think
Losing my mind, that's all I can do
Till I forget about you
Dance hard, laugh More
Turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar
Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
Till I forget about you.
Jump up, fall down
Gotta play it loud now.
Don't care, my head's
Spinning all around now.
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
Till I forget about you.
Till I forget about you
Till I forget about you
I can't forget about you."
He was trying to forget about me?
The crowd and guests cheered loudly to them but Kendall eyes would not remove his eyes from my face no matter how many people cheered.
When I finally brought my eyes to look into his he made a motion for me to stay in place. Russell had already disappeared, mingling with guests so there was no way I could get out of this quick enough.
Within seconds as I dipped another marshmallow in the chocolate fountain and stuffed it in my mouth I already felt a certain person was standing behind me.
"Echo I know I've got a lot of explaining to do." As I turned around still chewing on the delicious marshmallow Kendall was a little too close for comfort. He saw my unimpressed look and sighed, scratching the back of his head and then began to explain. "You see Sandy; she was an obsessed fan girl, nothing more! I promise! I... I care about you Echo, a lot. I'm sorry baby." He turned on the charm and this was the one time where it didn't work. I shook my head softly at his words.
"You told me last night you were going to show me how much you cared." I spoke barely above a whisper, my words were swallowed up by the atmosphere outside within seconds but Kendall still heard.
"I know and I will, tomorrow!" He saw my unenthusiastic look and pleaded me with his eyes. "Just please, give me one more day, if I screw it up you can walk away from us." My eyes went wide at the fact he was putting our pathetic relationship on the line.
"...Okay." I whispered after a few moments. He nodded and smiled reaching out his hand to my face though the images of him today with Sandy came flooding into my mind and I began to shrink away from him, flinching as his hand came closer and closer. His hand froze in the air and dropped when he noticed my reluctancy.
"Tomorrow, I promise. Gustavo has delayed the morning interview till Saturday." Kendall assured once more.
Tomorrow...
/
I groaned as I woke up the next morning. Last night was an awkward night I would rather forget. I avoided everyone for the rest of the night after agreeing to let Kendall make up for himself today.
Hopefully he won't end up with some other chick.
If he does it's the end of us, whatever the 'us' is.
My feelings were a mix about him, one second I lo- liked him a lot and then the next minute I hated him with a passion that was terrifying.
As I rolled out of bed I nearly fell over when I checked the time 11:45 am.
Shit, shit, shit, shit!
Oh my God! I think I missed Asha and Katie going over to Griffin, please say I haven't!
I rushed around getting up, pulling on a simple white tank and a floral short-ish skirt that I pulled up and zipped up around my waist, defining it even more and adding a simple, plain white belt and some white strappy gladiator sandals, even though it could have been a going out outfit the floral and brightness of the skirt and the casualness that I partnered the skirt with made it look more of a girly choice for me than usual. My hair was messy enough for the day so I just brushed my hands through it hazardously, fluffing it up and running into the middle of the apartment to see that it was disappointingly empty.
I growled to myself mentally as I rushed over to the kitchen to see a note tapped to the refrigerator.
Echo,
You seemed so tired this morning the girls didn't want to wake you.
I know you're going to be upset Asha hasn't said goodbye to you but Griffin said not to worry, that he had a surprise for you Sunday and Gustavo wanted to check you're okay for the interview tomorrow.
If you need me call me
Debra.
She was right, I was upset I didn't get to say goodbye to my sister, I had practically forgotten about her for the whole week, I felt so guilty.
The thought was forced out of my head when my phone vibrated in my skirt pocket.
Meet me down by the pool.
I had a feeling I knew who that was, without even looking at the sender, I couldn't help but letting the guilt filter back into my mind as I made my way to the lobby, I was surprised none of the guys were loitering around like usual...
When I turned the corner and walked outside to where I was requested to be I froze in my step.
"Kendall?" I asked confused at what was going on before me.
Before me was Kendall Knight freaking embracing Jordan freaking Sparks, dipping her and holding her around the waist like they had been slow dancing.
What the hell was going on?
"Echo..." Kendall had a sheepish look on his face when he looked up at me. "This isn't what it looks like." He protested weakly.
Sure.
It's like yesterday all fucking over again!
"Well it looks like you and Jordan Sparks are embracing..." I trailed, my hands balling up at my sides as she smiled innocently at me.
"It does look that way doesn't it?" Thanks you fucking idiot Jordan for the update, I just stated it; I don't need you to repeat or agree with me here!
Stay the fuck out of this.
"Whatever." I concluded, my anger getting the better of me as I turned and walked away from the embracing duo.
So much for making up.
As I passed Mr. Bitters in the lobby and began to walk upstairs I noticed another set of footsteps echoing just above me, I sped up and caught up with the footsteps already beginning to grovel to them.
"Camille, listen I am such a bitch and I am so fucking sorry I just-"
"Echo, don't worry about it, I know I'm a bit intrusive and I apologize about that. We're cool. We both did things we regret yesterday and you forgave me when you were angry with me so I should forgive you. We're even."
"Camille, thank you! I'm sorry, I really am. Just yesterday the stress got to me."
"I know, I would've been the same if it were me and Logan. I heard you're giving Kendall a second chance."
"Yeah..."
"Hey, what's wrong?" Camille examined my face, yesterday had rushed over me and today had just sunken in. "Echo, why are you crying? What's wrong?" Camille fled down the few steps that she was ahead of me to come and stand next to me. My blue orbs stared into hers as a hesitant hand brought itself up to my face, when I brought it away it had collected a small pooling of water on the fingertip.
One lone tear had crept out of my eyes.
"What's he done this time?" I was about to go into an in depth conversation with Camille, have some girl time when my phone vibrated.
Meet me at the pool and I'll explain everything, please baby.
"Look, I'll text you, but right now I'm going to go and meet him... I'll come up to your apartment later okay?" And with that I was already bounding down the stairs back towards the lobby trying to run away from the fact I was so close from breaking down in front of Camille.
I don't break down.
I've only ever done that once that I can remember, and that was to Kendall of all people just a few weeks back.
Crying is a sign of weakness.
So he thinks, five fucking minutes after I've seen him with another girl – a famous girl- that we can just parade around hand in hand?
Oh if he thinks that, he's got another fucking thing coming.
Why doesn't he just rub it in my face some more and invite me to listen to his explanation while he was out with Jordan?
He might as well!
As I rounded back around to the pool where I originally was I noticed Kendall's shaggy hair sitting down at a table.
As I began to approach I noticed a certain set of signature brunette curls opposite him.
The table was some girly fancy lunch.
He had never done that for me.
Anger boiled under my skin as I approached the two whispering douches.
"So now you're having a girly, romantic lunch with Jordan?" I asked, folding my arms as I inspected the two. The both looked speechless as they stared at each other and I stared at the sweetly arranged table with flowers, cute little finger foods and everything.
Strike two, Kendall Knight.
"It's not what it looks like!" He pleaded, holding up both of his hands in a surrender gesture. I didn't even say anything to him this time as I walked away.
What the fuck was he trying to do, make me jealous?
All he is doing is breaking my heart.
Poor Echo : (
32 Reviews for next chapter!
I've been thinking, after this story is finished, which is a long, long, long time away I was going to do another BTR Kendall OC fanfiction. I was thinking it being about a teacher/student relationship. If you have seen the movie Wild Child I was thinking about setting it out like a boarding school like that and have my OC as being kicked out of her old school as a bad girl. It's just an idea, tell me what you think about it in a review? : )
