Emery's POV
I went up to my room after the wedding and changed my clothes. Uncle Carlos looked so upset. My dad could handle anything.
As I layed in my bed, my mind started to wander. Back to when I was younger. The first memories of living in LA.
*Flashback*
"Can I at least hear the giant turd song?" Bubie Kendall's little sister, Katie asked.
"Oh your such a turd! Oh yeah a giant turd. You look like a turd and you smell like a turd." I giggled as the doorbell rang. I stood with Katie as they danced off to get it, still singing the song.
Suddenly they all screamed and James was talking up a storm. And a large man said he was here for Bubie Kendall.
"Mrs. Knight, I wanna talk your family to LA, and produce some demo tracks, with Kendall." I sat on daddy's lap as the man talked.
"You can't be serious." Bubie Kendall said.
"It'll take 3 months," A lady said, "And we'll cover all your expenses."
"Kendall... you have a gift, you have the fire." I looked up at Logie, who shrugged at me. "You also have anger management issues, Some people say I have anger management issues, but I also have 5 houses!"
I gasped as the large shouting man. And James started to sing a song.
"Stop it. Please don't ever do that again. Thank you." James stopped and I giggled slightly.
"Kendall, we have traveled to over 22 cities, we have auditioned over 20 thousand people. And Gustavo's picked you." The lady said. Daddy's eyes got big.
"But I'm not a singer." Bubie Kendall stated.
"You sing all the time," Katie said. "In the car, at the table, you sing to me when I can't sleep at night."
"You sing to Emmie too." Daddy smiled.
"No I don't..."
"Yes you do hunni." Bubie Kendall's mom said.
"When you shovel the driveway, When you answer the door 2 minutes ago." Katie continued.
"But that's not singing."
"Yes it is hunni." Bubie Kendall's mom said again.
"And he's always singing along o the 90's channel." Katie said.
"KATIE!" Bubie Kendall said sternly.
"So what do you say Kendall? Wanna be molded and shaped into a big 'ol star? By the Gustavo Rocque?" The large man asked.
The guys all exchanged glances. I just sat there staring at Bubie Kendall.
"No." Bubie said and the man broke his glass. I looked up at daddy and he shrugged. Carlos started to laugh.
"I'm gonna need to take a minute." The man said. The woman pulled out some money.
"This is for the tea cup." She sighed. Suddenly we heard bangs and yelling. "And the planter outside." I clung to daddy. There were more bangs and the woman placed all the money on the table. "Here's my card. If you change your mind, call. You should think about this Kendall. We leave tomorrow at 2." She smiled and left.
Katie stood, slapped him on the head, called him an idiot, took one of the money dollars the lady put down and left the room.
That next morning Daddy, James, Carlos and I went down to see Bubie Kendall at work.
"So I did the math on this whole singing thing, and Katie was right. You're an idiot." Daddy said as I played in the snow away from the carts. Daddy pushed one and it hit a banged into a car that was sitting there.
"Guys I don't wanna go to LA. And become a jerk. I wanna stay here with you jerks. And play hockey." Bubie Kendall said. I stood and brushed off my coat.
"Daddy isn't a jerk." I said pulling on his apron.
"I know..." He bent down and kissed my head. "Hey go make some snow angels over there." He told me.
"Okay." I giggled and went over to the patch of snow. Bubie Kendall and Daddy kept talking about LA... where ever that is. And Daddy, Carlos, and James kept being mean to Bubie Kendall.
I was making a tiny snowman when I heard a loud crash and saw Carlos in a cart. "Ow..." I whispered and went back to my tiny snowman.
As I played in the snow a huge long white car drove in the parking lot. And the large man got out. I ran over to daddy, who scooped me up.
"Don't think about him, think about millions of dollars."
"Think millions of girls!" Carlos said.
The man and lady approached us and we met them half way.
"Well?" The man asked.
"Okay. I'll go with you to LA and record some demos... If you take my buds and makes us a singing group." Bubie Kendall said as daddy was taking a drink of his soda.
"Cola up my nose." Daddy coughed.
"Ew..." I giggled.
"Well you guys said you would go." Bubie Kendall looked at the others.
The man said something, I didn't heard because daddy was still coughing.
The man started laughing. "I'm amazing! There's no way Gustavo Rocque is taking the 4 dogs from Minnesota to LA to make them stars!"
"So we have a deal?" Bubie Kendall asked.
"Yep!" The man said and Bubie Kendall grinned.
"Daddy, what's..." I paused as the four cheered. He swung me around.
So we got on an airplane, as daddy called it, and went to where that large scary man lived.
Bubie Kendall, Daddy, Carlos, James, and I all got in another one of those big cars and they started dancing like... well goofs.
"It's so warm." I giggled as the wind blew my hair around.
"I know!" Daddy hugged me tightly.
Bubie Kendall and the other all hung out the window and Bubie Kendall took my picture.
We arrived to our new home and the lady said something about a pool. Daddy grabbed me and ran to the pool area. As they lounged on the chairs. A girl came over to Bubie Kendall and slapped him on the face.
I grimaced and ignored what they were saying. I was to excited with the warm air and the new life we were having.
*Flashback Over*
"Hey Em!" Kendall walked into my room.
"Oh hey Kendall." I smiled.
"Whatcha doing?" He asked sitting on my bed.
"Just remembering when we first moved here." I smiled.
"Oh that was a good time." He smiled.
"Yeah you had short hair." I smiled and yanked lightly on his ponytail.
"Yeah and you were just a baby." He smiled.
"Hey I was like 4." I smiled. "And I remember it quite well. I remember how much I missed you guys when you left for your tour. How I couldn't go. I was so upset."
"Oh yeah. The tour that we almost didn't have." Kendall laughed.
"Yeah." I smiled and Kendall layed down on my bed next to me.
*Flashback*
"Calm down Em. They will be home soon." Mrs. Knight told me as I stood a few feet away from the door. I stood there, only 5, waiting for my family to arrive home.
"But, Daddy..." I yawned."...called last night and told me he would be home by 4... and it's..." I looked at the kitchen clock. "It's almost 9!" I cried. "Why isn't he home?" I sighed and hung my head.
The door slammed open and the four of them slammed their thing to the ground. I looked up in excitement as my eyes met daddy's.
"EMERY!" Daddy screamed my name and held out his arms.
"DADDY!" I ran over to him and he gave me the biggest hug he could. "I missed you daddy." I cried.
"I missed you to baby girl!"
"Kendall!" I reached for him.
"Hi baby!" He took me and kissed my cheeks and hugged me tightly.
"Did you guys have fun singing?" I asked once I hugged my uncles.
"It was a blast!" Uncle James smiled and picked me up. "I missed you though Emmie." I hugged him and looked over his shoulder at daddy, who was in the middle of kissing Kendall. Kendall looked over and saw me peeking. I stuck my tongue out and James sat me down.
"Isn't it your bed time baby?" Daddy asked me as I tried to stop another yawn.
"She wanted to wait for you." Mrs. Knight said. Kendall scooped me up and carried me to my shared room with Katie.
"Sing me a song... Please!" I begged.
"Okay..." Kendall smiled. "What song?" Kendall asked grabbing his guitar.
"Uhm... Mine, by Taylor Swift." I smiled. It was my new favorite, non-BTR song.
"Okay." Kendall smiled, strumming his guitar, and started to sing.
Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You were in college, working part time, waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin'
Wonderin' why we bothered with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes,
I can see it now
I smiled as daddy started singing along.
Do you remember when we're sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Daddy continued alone and Kendall nodded along to the beat.
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we've got bills to pay,
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take yes, yes
This is what I thought about
Kendall joined in and smiled over at daddy.
Do you remember when we're sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Oho, oho, oho
Kendall got into the song as he sang.
And I remember that fight 2:30 AM
And everything was slippin' right out of my hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye,
Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said "I'll never leave you alone"
You said...
Daddy sang along with Kendall as the song seemed to explain their lives well.
"I remember how we felt sittin' by the water
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
Hold on,
Make it last,
Hold on,
Never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on
Yeah, yeah
Do you believe it?
Hold on,
We're gonna make it now,
Hold on
And I can see it yeah, yeah
And I can see it now, See it now, See it now
Kendall strummed out the last few chords to the song.
"Thank you..." I smiled sleepily.
They both kissed me and closed my door.
*Flashback Over*
"You are the best this that's ever been mine..." I hummed and Kendall looked over at me.
"I remember that song."
"Yeah you sang me that song. When you and dad got back after your tour." I smiled.
"Hey you two! Having a party with out me?" Dad walked in my room.
"Where's Carlos? Is he okay?" Kendall sat up.
"Yeah. He got a call from his father, saying that his sister died. And he has to go and get custody over his sister's baby." Dad said.
"Baby?" I stood shocked. "How old is it?"
"He is only 3 weeks old. James and Carlos are gonna go adopt the baby and make it official." Dad said happily.
"That's great!" Kendall stood. "Well not the sister dead part..."
"Come on you two. We have a room to repaint. And we have to go buy furniture for the baby."
"Okay." Kendall and I said excited.
