A Big Time Rush Story: Making Changes

~Megan's POV~

We sat in a booth; James and me on one side, Ariel on the other.

I had no idea on how to start up a conversation. I was worried Ariel might think I'm weird or that I was going to bore her to death.

Luckily, James saved the conversation.

"So, Ariel, tell us about yourself!" He encouraged her.

"Well, you already know I was adopted. Hm… I love to play soccer and field hockey. I'm on the girl's varsity team. I get good grades in school. I've gotten a couple detentions for messing around… I love playing pranks. In my spare time I like to ride four wheelers, read, write, draw, and play with my dog back home. That's about it." She answered.

"Wow, that's really cool!" I said.

She smiled back. "Thanks,"

The waiter came and dropped off our food.

We were all silent again.

"This is awkward…" Ariel laughed, nervously.

At that moment, my phone went off.

I looked at the number… it was Annica.

"Hello?" I choked out.

"Megan, it's so nice to actually talk to you." Annica said. "I know what you've been up to."

"What? No you don't!" I exclaimed.

"You're meetings with Gemini. About who you want to end up with James… or Kendall. Now I also know about your little secret. The necklace. I wonder how James will react when I tell him you have a picture of Kendall and you in it?"

"You wouldn't dare!" I could barely keep my voice from rising.

"Do you really think I wouldn't?" Annica laughed. "Good-bye, Megan. Have fun with your messed up life."

I hung up the phone and felt tears slide down my cheeks.

"Megan, are you okay?" James asked, concerned.

Instead of answering, I just took off towards the bathroom. Once the door slammed shut, the sobs started to come out.

She knew the secret of my necklace. Of course, she was going to tell James. Then James would get mad and blame Kendall.

The never ending cycle would continue until in ruined everything.

The door swung open, and I tried to pull myself together the best I could incase if it was some stranger… instead it was Ariel.

"Hey," She gave a small wave and sat down beside me. "What's wrong?"

"You know how we filled you in about Annica?" I asked her.

"Yeah," She nodded.

"Well… she's torturing me worse than ever before. She's got a hold of a big secret of mine." I stated.

"It can't be that bad." She sympathized.

"Do you think so now?" I opened my locket and showed her the picture of Kendall and me. "It's from when we were together. I kept it to show that I still loved him."

"Ooh, that is bad." Ariel mused. "So… you love both of them?"

I only nodded.

"I don't think James would be mad." Ariel told me.

"Why not?" I asked.

"He loves you. He wants you to be happy no matter what. Even if that means you'd be with Kendall."

"You should be a therapist when you're older." I told her. "How did you figure that out though?"

"Just by the way he talks about you, the way he looks at you, the way he stops talking and trails off in thought. It's all about you."

"Now I feel even worse about choosing!" I said, exasperated.

"I know," She consoled. "It'll be hard, but you'll choose from your heart. I know I'm just getting to know you, but you're kind-hearted."

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Now, let's get back out to James. Or else he might come in here." She giggled. "Come to think of it, maybe we should wait."

After that, I knew Ariel was going to be one of my close friends.

This was short, sorry! I'm just getting back into writing this! I had about a week break, and it was kind of hard to write, but now I'm ready to write this again!

Be prepared for a lot of episodes! (Or at least, hopefully a lot!)
