CHAPTER 6: CHEATERS NEVER WIN, BAILEY
The week's almost over. And the concert is super close. I doubt Cody would still go with me since I'm practically close with the ones performing. He's probably selling them or taking someone else.
I heard there will be a mini-performance of Big Time Rush tomorrow night, and I ask Logan details about the tickets. He just smiles, saying.
"Do you think I'd let you buy those tickets when I'm the one performing?" he questions.
I squeal in delight when I find out he's taking me to the New Zealand concert AND getting me seats for the mini performance. See? It PAYS not to be the crazed fangirl all the time. I give him a quick hug and we start kissing. I pull away saying that I should go first. I go back to my room with London only seeing her moping again, I rush to the comfort room and see that New Zealand's close.
"London, if it's about.." I say, but she interrupts me saying,
"YOU TOOK LOGAN FROM ME! I ALMOST HAD A CHANCE! NOW HOW DO I FIND A SUPER HOT GUY?" she screams in anger and disappointment.
It's kinda my fault I took Logan's attention from her. But she somehow deserved it, so I pat her back and tell her there's James. She suddenly lightens up asking me if I'm attending the mini-performance, I give a quick nod.
She stands up and rushes to the comfort room and comes out fresh wearing a floral dress, her hair is perfectly curled and bangs clipped. Her makeup isn't that strong but her lipgloss is super shiny. She takes some heels and leaves the room, snapping me away.
I tilt my head back and raise a brow and start browsing my clothes. What should I wear for the performance tomorrow? I used up all my dresses except for one, and I decide to save it for tomorrow. It's a pink dress, the top part is glittered pink darker than the lower part which is silky and clear pink which falls before my knees. It isn't a tube type of dress but it has really thin straps to hold down the dress. I also find pink heels in the same shade of the top part of the glittery pink. I also find a cute glittery pink pin which I know will match my pink shade.
I hang them all up in a secret compartment of my closet and start moving out of the room again. I try to approach Logan once again but I also see a crowd of girls coming to him. I let him have some popstar sensation moments and I start to go downstairs to see how's Zack. I see Carlos with Woody while Zack's tying some trap, I carefully avoid it and I start to save him from Carlos' prank. He thanks me then tries to move away but I drag him to a couch and we start to converse.
"Zack, come on. Help me out here." I say. He looks alright but he looks like he's keeping something from me.
"Look, Cody's been really hurt about you spending more time with Logan. Especially the part when he saw you guys, well kiss."
"It was an accident, I swear! You KNOW I love Zack, and I could never replace him with a popstar I only got to be close within a week." I explain
"You could go tell him that, before he sells those tickets to me. I'm planning to take the girl to the concert with you and Cody's tickets." He says and leaves like the wind.
I run to Cody's room and find him all alone studying. I approach him quietly.
"Cody, I have.." I say but he interrupts me
"What? Want to talk about "Logan"? Well I have nothing to say about that jerk." He says in such a way that made me feel bad about myself. I HAVE been spending more time with Logan than my own boyfriend.
"It's just two more days and he'll be out of our ship forever. Cody, I love you. Logan and I, we know we both have relationships." I explain, Cody stands up and kisses me really long.
"It's too late. I sold the tickets already and made plans with someone else. I'm sorry, Bailey. You go have fun with Logan and the band." He says and leaves me alone in the room.
But the sad part is, I really didn't feel the same spark I used to feel. He just broke up with me, indirectly. I run out of the room and fall into Logan's arms crying. He wipes the tears from my eyes and kisses me. And there, I felt it. He could be the one. He sure can be pretty geeky like Cody, but he's different. And I love him
He pulls himself away from me and starts holding my hand pointing at Cody. I turn my back and started regretting my kiss with Logan. Cody was only kidding about the thing inside his room. He then comes back to his room and slams it shut, dropping the rose and a long sorry letter. Yup, I blew my chance. And this time it's for real. I just hug Logan again and we start drifting apart when Kelly calls his attention. Kelly seems glum.
The boys gather around Kelly and she gives all of them tickets to be sold for their mini-performance tomorrow. I approach Kelly and I give her a big hug. She hugs me tightly and we sit together to talk about our problems. I tell her all about betraying Cody for Logan and she tells me her imitating problems with Kendall.
We then exchange advice and we suddenly feel better. We then start roaming around the ship to sell tickets and a lot are sold fairly. Kelly offers me tickets but I say Logan will be providing mine. She gives off a smile and we move on.
Until comes the time we sold atleast 20 tickets. I have 2 tickets left, either I buy them or sell them. I then check the time and see it's 5pm and the sky is getting gloomy. I hug Kelly goodbye and rush to my room. I browse my phones for any notifications and see that London's been bugging me to see her down the poolside. She starts calling me and I just ignore the call and drag myself downstairs. As I go downstairs I see London with tons of lookbooks. I draw towards her and pulls me closer forcing me to sit beside her.
"Bailey! Bailey Bailey! Now, I have a lot of outfits to choose from but I'm not so sure! I have dinner after the mini-performance so I have to look extra perfect!" she squeals, she looks rather worried but I just give her the sarcastic look. Why is she pressuring herself so much for the mini concert? She still hasn't noticed the sarcastic look on my face so I just give out a sigh.
I start going through the look books and I see really great outfits for London. My attention draws to a glittery look book and I start going through the pages. I imagine each outfit with London. I then see an outfit similar as mine! I try to relate it to mine and I notice the skirt part is more of the fluffy balloon type while mine goes straight down. There are sparkles sprinkled carefully on the skirt tracing the path of the skirt. It's in ruby red which totally matches London's golden heels. Although I doubt she'd be wearing the same pair of heels again.
"Well, you look really good in sparkly stuff. So why not get this? The heels, well instead of making them red, you'll obviously look like a tomato if you follow this. So pair it with golden peep toe heels." I mention, for that moment I wished London would finally let me go back to our room to get ready for tomorrow.
"That's perfect Bailey! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She giggles while screaming this, blaring at my ears. And she hugs me tightly, I try to let go and as I struggle to do this, London finally lets go of me and drags me back to our room, leaving the look books but only bringing the one with the best dresses.
As we reach the room, I receive flowers with a note in it. London tried grabbing it from me to examine it but I take it away from her as possible and started reading it. It has a ticket to the concert tomorrow and for their stopover at New Zealand. I squeal in delight but I try to wonder who sent me these. Big chance they're from Logan, but I don't think he'd send them to me now, he told me he'll send me these tomorrow morning. I just drop them on my study and change my clothes ready for sleep. I have a lot to prepare for tomorrow.
Night passes by but this morning was such a buzz. Everyone's getting prepared for the performance later. I see London, still asleep. I creep slowly to my closet and change my clothes. I choose really low maintenance clothes for later since I'd probably be a buzz once they see me tonight, though I know London will be the apple of everyone's eyes, literally. She'll look like a golden ruby apple.
I take out leggings to be paired with a floral strappy dress. I bind them all together with a gray cardigan until my thighs. I rush to the washroom and brush my teeth. I run my hands through my hair, it's really messy, but I won't be touching them until tonight. I have a lot to fix, I have to curl my hair well, I have to put darker makeup. I wash my face and wipe it gently with a towel. And apply some light lip gloss and pin my messy bangs. I comb my hair quick and head out.
I take a quick look again at my outfit for later but as I see London sitting up on her bed calling her assistant about her choice of outfit. I smile at her and she winks back. I then see Zack and Woody alone without Carlos. I go towards them,
"So, where's your pranking buddy, mate, friend, whatever. Where's Carlos?" I ask
"Well, he's forbidden to come out of his headquarters until the actual performance." Woody replies. I nod alright and leave. I take a look around the place and I see Cody. All alone, I try to approach him to say sorry.
And as I do this, I sneak slowly to him, only to find him hugging me once again. And I see myself, in his arms again. There comes that same spark, only stronger. And he pulls himself from me and gives me a kiss.
