Chapter 38: High School Never Ends
Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush.
A/N: Heya! I like this chapter. Can't wait to write the next one! Enjoy!
No reviews?
The early morning sun shone through the windows of the hippie van that was formally owned my Michael Diamond. One big, blue sleeping bag was placed in the middle and two bodies were in it lying side by side. The male was grinning ear to ear while the female, who accompanied him didn't look as pleased.
"That was incredible, huh?" Carlos asked, turning his head to the side to see Natalie staring up at the roof and her blonde hair spread out over her pillow.
"It was okay," she replied with no emotion.
Carlos nodded his head, his smile still in place. "Okay is good enough for me,"
Later on, in a tent, another couple were starting to wake up. Brona's face was pressed against Kendall's unclothed chest while her left hand had a soft grip on his side. His strong arms were wrapped around her small frame tightly, enjoying the sensation of feeling her breathing. He brought his hand up her back, his fingertips lightly touching her soft, velvet like skin. The blonde gently twirled the ends of her dark brown hair that was tickling her skin around his fingers before it made its way to her cheek.
"Baby, you awake?" he asked quietly, his voice husky from just waking up. Kendall shrugged before gently pressing his lips against hers in attempt to wake her up. It was a success and he slowly felt her kiss back. "Morning, Brona,"
Brona brought her hands to her eyes and rubbed the sleep away. She squinted her eyes a little so they could adjust to the morning light. "Hey," she greeted happily, her voice slightly horse and her lips curling upwards as her eyes fully opened revealing her blue eyes. "Last night…" she added, her smile boarding if possible.
"Amazing," Kendall said truthfully as his big hands took hold of her smaller ones. "Wow, you know I don't know if it's the mountain air or the poison from that thorn bush but I slept great…I know we broke out pact but I don't care,"
"Sex is never off the table," Brona admitted honestly, nodding her head slowly. "We're just going to have to control ourselves until our wedding, Mister,"
"I'll try, doll," he said, smirking widely, which earned him a smack on the chest.
"We better get dressed before anyone else wakes up," Brona told him and he nodded in agreement. The others would probably be up soon and the chances that one of them would want to pull a prank of bringing a bucket of fresh river water to soak them was more than likely so they'd prefer to get soaked in their clothes rather than butt naked. "Can I have one of your t-shirts, please?"
Kendall, who was routing through his small duffel bag for a clean pair of underwear, looked over his shoulder to see that she was in her underwear and a Hollister hoodie zipped up on her. "Why?"
"I like wearing your t-shirts," she admitted truthfully. She loved the way they felt against her skin and they smelled just like Kendall. And that made her feel safe. "So can I have one please?"
"Only If I can have one of yours," Kendall teased before receiving a small shove. He just chuckled before picking up one of his t-shirts and throwing it over his shoulder, assuming she caught it.
The blonde grabbed his Obey tank top and a pair of denim jeans. When he turned back he saw that Brona was already dressed in a pair of denim shorts and his t-shirt on that was tied to the side with a hair tie with a tank top underneath it. She was currently kneeling up on her knees with her hoodie resting on her lap as she looked into a compact in attempt to do her makeup.
Kendall rolled his eyes at his girlfriend's antics as he stood up, his head nearly hitting of the cloth of their tent. He didn't understand why girls wore makeup. Yes, some did look better with it on but that didn't mean that they weren't beautiful already. The blonde was more what matters is on the inside sort of guy.
Brona grabbed her iPhone from her bag to see what time it was. She pulled it out of the pocket it was on and turned it on. Distracted by the cute wallpaper of her twins on the day they were born in hers and Kendall's arms, she didn't notice the white numbers on the screen. But when she did her eyes instantly widened and her jaw dropped.
"Kendall, we're going to miss our plane back to California if we don't get everybody up right this second and pack up our stuff," she told him as she stuffed the rest of her things into her bag. She was hesitant at first because she liked to take her time with packing so she remembered everything and that all her items would fit but she knew that they couldn't miss their flight.
Kendall quickly pulled his t-shirt down over his head making his bedhead even worse. But Brona just giggled at his cute bedhead. It was only a matter of seconds till Kendall had shoved all his belongings in his bag and didn't have any trouble closing much to his fiancée surprise.
"Everything's going to get creased and I'm not going to iron it," Brona replied, standing up on her feet with her arms folded across her chest and a small pout on her lips.
Kendall just chuckled before placing a kiss to her forehead. "I'll do it," he reassured her causing her pout to turn into a small smile. It wasn't fair to Brona that she had to do mostly everything but that was mostly because, according to someone, Kendall did things wrong so he helped out with whatever chores he was able to do. It isn't the 60s anymore!
The two rushed out to see that everyone was still their tents except for James, who was sleeping in a sleeping bag that wasn't in one of the four tents. Carlos and Logan were sharing a tent and two boys is enough for one tent and none of the girls wanted to share a tent with him, which was understandable because even though he's loveable he can be a bit too ''friendly''.
Brona ran over to the middle tent where Lucy, Jo, Camille and Natalie were staying while Kendall ran over to the left one where Logan and Carlos where sleeping. They both unzipped the tents and poked in their heads.
"Logan, come on get up buddy!" Kendall yelled but in a lively way. He saw that the raven haired boy didn't budged so he entered the tent and starting shaking him violently and completely forgetting that Carlos should be there too.
"Guys, we over slept!" Brona shouted in as she entered the tent where her girl best friends were sleeping. "We're going to miss our flight!" she added frantically watching the girls awake.
Camille sat up while rubbing her tired eyes, noticing that Lucy and Jo were still not completely and she saw that James was still asleep when she looked outside. "Brona, I'll wake them up while you wake up James,"
Brona nodded in agreement before hopping out of the blue tent and heading over to the sleeping pretty boy. She knew that he wouldn't be an easy one to wake up so quickly unzipped the sleeping bag and uncovered him, revealing that he was cuddling a big brown teddy bear close to his chest and that he wasn't wearing any pants just underwear.
Feeling the cold reach his special area, the pretty boy's hazel eyes quickly popped open to see Brona standing over him with her hands on her curvy hips and her blue eyes wide but a soft smile graced her lips. James stood up and pulled his pants up casually. Everyone started clearing up, but Lucy, who was too busy pouring herself a drink of tea from a thermos. Logan took the thermos and threw Lucy one of the folded up tents causing her to fall. Kendall grabbed James' burnt guitar and threw it in guitar case while James, folding his sleeping bag, closed it. Everyone gathered the remaining things before running to the can, exiting the camp area leaving it empty except for a teddy bear. James returned to campsite to get his teddy bear then left again once he got it.
They all ran towards the area where they had parked the van yesterday all carrying items in their hands and some even had items under their arms. Some were pleased at how quickly they cleared the campsite and the others were just too tired to give a shit. But all had completely forgotten about Carlos and Natalie. They reached the part off the woods that was near a road within a few more seconds only to see that the van wasn't there.
Brona's eyes widened for the third time that morning as she looked around the clearing. "Wait, wait…guys…guys where's the van?" she asked hoping that one of them would say they parked it in another part of the forest just to have a bit of fun.
James looked at the girl brunette angrily. It was blatant obvious who stole the van. "I think it's obvious, Brona!" he said, still holding his angry gaze. "The lady of the lake stole it,"
Kendall raised a bushy eyebrow and his nose scrunched up. "Why would a ghost need a van?" he asked the pretty boy.
"What's she gonna do, hitch a ride?" James replied, rolling his eyes. God, his friends were stupid. "Who's gonna pick up a ghost?!" he questioned, anger still present in his voice.
"Scooby has a point," Brona admitted, humouring the pretty boy. It really wasn't his fault he was so naïve. She blamed his father.
James smiled in response, feeling very proud of himself. "Thanks Shaggy," he said, which made Brona look at him outraged before she smacked him repeatedly on the chest. "Daphne," he quickly said, correcting his mistake and taking hold of her small wrists in his strong hands and looked in her eyes and he could tell she was still mad. "Cause she's more than a pretty face just like you," James added making a smile appear on her face and he then looked towards Kendall and Logan continuing to reminisce their high school years by comparing them all to cartoon teens that solved mysteries and got referred to as 'meddling kids' more than once. "And Kendall you're like Freddie because of your awesome plans and Logan you're Velma-" Logan pouted. "-Because you're smart and Carlos you're-"
"Oh my God…Carlos and Natalie," Jo said, adding things all up in her head.
Lucy groaned and slapped her forehead, which was a big mistake seeing that she suffered from sinus and because of that she was experiencing a headache. "They probably took it to mess with us," she assumed, running a hand through her black and red hair.
"Aw man, it's…I'm gonna kill them," Logan finally snapped. It was bad enough that he was woken up but now the van was stolen and his hair was falling in front of his eyes. He hated his bedhead!
A thought occurred in James' mind and gripped on to his teddy bear for dear life. "Logan, if I'm right about the lady of the lake, and I think I am, they might already be dead," James said, his voice shaking. He can't even remember what the last thing he said to Carlos was. What if it was something bad and he'll never get the chance to apologise.
Mama Knight walked into the lobby fuming with her arms folded across her chest and Katie at her side while the other parents of the gang followed her. They were all dressed in formal attire. She stopped abruptly and looked at the other parents, who didn't look happy either except for Steven but Jennifer could never read his face sometimes.
"Oh, I knew the camping trip was a bad idea," Mama Knight stated, sharing her earlier doubts that she thought the kids would rise above like they always though when the odds are against them. "I knew they would miss graduation! It's us all over again!"
"Mom," Katie said, looking up at her mother. "No you didn't,"
Jennifer placed a hand on her daughter's shoulder and gave her a smile. "Katie I love you but you're not helping," she told her, watching her daughter nod in agreement. The mother of Kendall Knight looked back at her friends. "Yeah, I thought they'd be good for time seeing that their plane left at half eleven and it's a four hour flight and the graduation ceremony was at five,"
"You're one to talk," Sandra replied as she strapped her grandchildren in their stroller. "Didn't you guys miss your graduation?"
"Yeah, Jen so take it easy on the kids," Brooke told the red haired woman. Even though Brooke wasn't pleased that their children missed their graduation she wasn't going complaining.
"Fine," she said before taking a seat on the couch followed by others.
"Well at least your son wasn't picked for Valedictorian and then we they called at his name and he wasn't there everyone starts looking at you," Joanna replied bringing a hand to her forehead to express her embarrassment. It wasn't the fact that she was disappointed in her son for being late, teens had to have their fun, but it was the fact she wasn't one to draw attention to herself.
"It wasn't too bad," Steven, who was sitting on the arm chair with the stroller beside him, told her while giving her a sympathetic smile.
Meanwhile, the gang were standing in front of the Palmwoods entrance with looks of exhaust present on their faces. The boys' strands of hair where sticking up in every direction while the girls' all had different hairstyles. Brona' was tied up into a high pony tail but her side fringe was hanging down and there were pieces of straw and hay in her hair while she held her pair of destroyed black converses in her right hand. Lucy's hair was left down and had hay and straw through it and only a few strands of hair were out of place. Camille's hair was a bit frizzy and Jo's hair had muck and straw through it. All had a bit of dirt on them.
"Wow, what a great day…" Logan said sarcastically as they entered the Palmwoods. "Not only did we get to miss our own graduation and flight home and paid extra for another flight home but we got to ride to the airport in the back of a pig truck," he added in disgust when he got a whiff of his new scent.
"Yeah, when we went around a corner, one of those pigs almost went to third base of me," Jo said, shivering at the memory. Not one of her happiest moments.
Brona pulled on the hem of her tank top that made her feel grungy. "You know what? I need a shower," she added before she sniffed in the scent of everybody else. "We all need showers,"
"Where the hell have you been?" they heard a male voice call and they all looked towards their parents, who were sitting in the lobby while talking to Gustavo. "What happened to you, dogs?!" the music producer questioned when he saw the state of the teenagers.
"You know what? I can't talk right now; my converses have something BROWN ON THEM!" Brona snapped back holding up her pair of converse that was covered in what she hoped and prayed was muck.
Mama Knight stood up at of her seat ready to give her lecture. "I have waited 18 years for my graduation picture. I want you all back here at 5 o'clock sharp in your caps and gowns ready to say cheese IS THAT CLEAR?!"
"Fine!" the teens all grunted before going their separate ways.
On their way to the second floor the four teens bumped into the two people they were ready to kill, Carlos and Natalie. Carlos was wearing a pair of grey skinny -not too skinny- jeans along with a white shirt, a blue tie and a waistcoat that matched the colour of his jeans. Natalie was sporting a pair of leather arse shorts and a white crop top. They both looked very, very clean.
"I'd kill you both with my bare hands if I didn't have to save my favourite pair of converses!" Brona groaned before pushing past them and pulling Kendall with her.
The pool was buzzing with excitement as a graduation party was in full swing. The pool was decorated with balloons and streamers along with a big banner with ''Class of 2012'' written on it in big letters hanging up over the door to the lobby. There was DJ and right now Hey Porsche by Nelly was blasting out of the speakers.
"You're a dumbass," Brona told Carlos, who was standing beside her by the snack table filling up a cup with punch.
Carlos looked up from the red drink. "And you are your grandpa," he commented before putting the ladle back into the glass bowl and handed Brona one of the two drinks he had poured.
"Whatever," she replied with a roll of her eyes and fought back a smile. Carlos just smiled at her before nudging her in her arm with his elbow causing her smile to appear. "Just, why? Why would you worry me little buddy?"
"Um, well I slept with Natalie numerous of times-" he told her making her shiver in disgust and cringe at the thought.
"Eww! Too much information, 'Los," Brona said, cutting him off while trying to get the image of Carlos and her cousin out of her mind.
"We had a little road and air trip and just when she thought I was the best boy in the world and was ready to settle down I told her I wasn't interested," he explained, watching the brunette's lips curl upwards which made him smile back. "I know how much she hurt you that time so…payback,"
Brona placed a hand over heart and buckled her knees slightly as her face lit up while a proud smile formed on her lips. "Revenge? You're coming along," she commented before her smile was replaced by a smirk and she gently patted his shoulder.
Brona's vision suddenly went black which gave her a shock. It only took her a split second to realise that there was a pair of hands placed over eyes and a warm body pressed against her back.
"Guess who?" the familiar male voice whispered in her ear, his hot breath tickling her skin.
A wide smile played on Brona's lips. "Um…would it be my fiancée?" she asked and the hands slipped away. She turned around to see Kendall with a board grin on his face before he placed his hands on her curvy hips.
"Damn! You're too good," Kendall replied before yanking her body closer to his by pulling her in by the hips. He gently brushed his lips against hers for a couple of seconds before wrapping an arm around her waist, placing a hand on where her spine curved. "You look lovely," he commented as he took her in. She was wearing a red round neck tee that was tucked into a black skirt that went above the knee and had a few red and white flowers printed on it and to complete the outfit was a pair of red converses.
"Not too bad yourself," Brona replied with a wink as she admired his dark skinny –not too skinny- jeans with a crisp white shirt and a black jacket over it.
"Ahem," Carlos coughed, looking at Kendall with big brown eyes and a look of offence present on his face.
"You look good, Carlos," Kendall commented, pulling his fiancée closer to his side. "Way cuter than Brona," he added and as the words came out of his mouth her knew they were wrong. "That came out wrong!" he said, looking down at his girlfriend, who just chuckled at the blonde's cuteness.
"Hey," James, Logan, Camille, Lucy and Jo greeted the three once they got back from the DJ where the requested a song.
The gang started to reminisce about their last school year together. They talked fondly about all the laughs and smiles, they discussed the sad moments with tears in their eyes and they chatted about the surprises along the way. But the Kendall and Brona took the cake in every topic with Brona's pregnancy. It had made them smile to think about a baby joining the gang. It made them laugh about the time of the Pop Tiger Awards when Jo was nominated and Brona had found out she was pregnant but tried to keep it a secret. It made them sad when they talked about the time when Brona was seven months pregnant and they broke up. And the surprise was clearly the pregnancy as a whole.
As it got later the gang decided to dance. Kendall grabbed Brona's hand and brought her out to the dance floor. Brona wrapped her slender arms around the blonde's neck while his strong arms wrapped tightly around her waist. They pressed their foreheads together, enjoying the closeness. They were so content.
"Remember the last pool party the Palmwoods had?" he asked when he remembered the very special night that he was positive he would never ever forget.
"Uh-huh," Brona replied, nodding her head slowly as a smile appeared. How could she get? It was a magical and special night for them. "We said ''I love you'' for the first time,"
"It's also the night we ''expressed our love for each other'' for the first time," Kendall said, using the term Brona used about a year and a few months ago. "Do you regret that night?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and searching her eyes for the truth. It was question that burned on his mind a lot and he wanted a truthful answer.
Brona was able to see her mom and dad along with her friends' parents with Daniel and Nicole fast asleep in their carrier seats. She smiled brightly. They were truly a product of hers and Kendall's love. Did she regret having them? No, they just made her life better.
"No, I don't," she retorted making Kendall's lips curl upwardly. "I'll never regret that night, ever,"
A/N: Happy ending! :) I really liked the part when James started comparing them to the Scooby Doo gang. I don't know why. I just do :p I made a plan for the last few chapters and I think there's about eight or something left and I can't wait to write the next chapters. Also I noticed that I didn't get any reviews for the last chapter so if you're interested in the story let me know. But I'm still going to finish it off! :D Hashtag: Determined!
Also if you're a That 70s Show fan it would mean a lot to me if you check out my two-shot Let Her Go and my new story Mean.
Peace ✌~ Mystery Girl 911
