Back Home

That Saturday morning, everyone was gathered outside The Palmwoods to see Chase and I off.

Chase closes the trunk shut.

"Okay. I think that's the last of it."

I turned to the group:

Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Camille, Jo, Katie, Gustavo, Kelly, and Cat.

And they wore grim expressions.

"You're really leaving? You just got here!" Katie protested.

I looked at Katie sadly.

If I wasn't hanging out with the guys or Cat, Katie was the one I'd hang out with.

For a ten-year old girl, she was pretty fun to hang out with.

"Yeah. I really am leaving." I said.

Katie shook her head.

Kendall looked at me.

"Griffin can't do this, Megan. Everyone would love your song if they have heard it." Kendall explained.

I looked at him.

"Kendall, in order for everyone to hear my song, it has to be approved by Griffin. You know that. He didn't like it, so I'm out of luck." I responded.

Chase came up me and Kendall just then.

"I'm sorry to cut into your conversation, but we have to leave now, or we'll miss our flight."

I nodded.

I gave the boys a kiss on the cheek, and I gave hugs to Camille, Jo, Katie, and Cat.

When I came to Gustavo and Kelly, I looked at them.

"Thanks for being my mentor, Gustavo. Sorry you couldn't make my song a hit." I replied.

Gustavo looked at me.

"It's okay, Megan. When Griffin changes his mind, I'll call you."

In other words, Griffin wouldn't change his mind.

I looked to Kelly.

"Thanks, Kelly. You know, for believing in me." I stated.

Kelly smiled at me.

"No problem, Megan." Kelly said.

I turned to Chase.

"Okay. Let's go."

Chase nodded, and opened my door.

I got in, and Chase closed the door behind me.

I looked out the window.

I waved, and everyone waved back.

Then, I turned my attention to the road.

"I miss The Palmwoods already." I commented.

Chase frowned.

"We just left a few minutes ago." he stated.

True:

But, I felt I belonged at The Palmwoods than anywhere else.

"Yeah. But, I felt I belonged there. Among Cat, Camille, Jo, and the boys. Didn't you?" I asked.

It took Chase a few minutes to reply to my question.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know. I know you did, because you made friends with the guys and Cat-"

He snaps his fingers.

"-like that. Plus, you were going out with all four members of Big Time Rush. You found your place in Los Angeles. I don't know where I stand."

It always takes Chase a little while to fit into new places.

I, on the other hand, knew where I stood.

I frowned too.

"Chase, I know where you stood: you were discussing songs with Gustavo Rocque. How many people can say that?" I asked.

"Yeah..." Chase trailed off.

"And you're friends with Big Time Rush, you know. Not just me." I explained.

"Yeah. But, not to the point where I was dating them." Chase pointed out.

"Why do you always bring up that I'm always on date with one of them?" I asked.

Chase sighed.

"I guess it's me being protective of you. You're my little sister, and they are guys. You don't know how they are going to act." Chase said.

I smiled.

"Chase, you're a guy." I replied.

"Yeah, but I didn't hit on Jo or Camille right away." Chase reported.

"Oh, and how you thought Katie was a hot, older girl?" I asked.

"Hey-that's where I made a mistake." Chase commented.

I shook my head.

It became silent again.

Chase and I didn't talk through the car ride to the airport.

When we were on the plane, I got a phone call from Cat.

Thankfully, Chase was sleeping, so he couldn't hear our conversation.

"Hey, Cat." I replied.

"Megan! How's the flight?" Cat asked.

I could picture Cat on the chair (that hung from the ceiling) that Gustavo had in his recording studio.

"Good so far. We just got on the plane." I stated.

"Fun! So, you know that Griffin didn't like your song, right?" Cat asked.

"Cat, must you put salt on my wounds? I'm well-aware Griffin didn't like my song." I said.

"No, I'm not putting salt on your wounds. I'm just saying the guys found a way for people to hear your song." Cat explained.

I remembered how Jo said the guys were good with plans (schemes is what Gustavo calls them).

"What are the boys up too, Cat?" I asked.

I heard voices in the background, and Cat's voice:

"Uh...it's a surprise! Wait until you get home, Megan!" Cat suddenly said.

"Cat-" I started to say, but the dial-tone cut me off.

I slumped back in my seat.

Beside me, Chase stirred, and then he sat up straight.

"Who were you talking too, sis?" Chase asked.

I looked at him.

"Cat." I said automcatically.

Chase nodded.

"Ah. What did she have to say?" Chase asked.

"She said the boys had a surprise for me." I explained.

Chase raised an eyebrow.

"All the way back in Elizabethtown?" he asked.

I laughed.

"No. She said I should check my computer when we get home, though."

Chase smiled, and he pressed a button.

A few minutes later, a stewdress came.

"Yes, how can I help you, sir?" she asked.

Chase looked at her.

"Please tell the captain to speed the plane up. My sister is a hurry."

I laughed, and the stewdress cracked a smile.

"I'll see what I can for you, sir."

She left.

I lightly punched Chase on the shoulder.

"You didn't! I thought you'd get into trouble!" I replied.

Chase grinned.

"Hey, you are excited to see what your surprise is, right? You should be thanking me."

It was later, and we were home.

Immediately after returning, I logged onto my computer, and onto iTunes.

Out of being curious (because Cat didn't excately say what my surprise was, but I had a hunch), I typed in my name.

Staring me right in the face was "5, 6, 7, 8".

I screamed, and that sent Chase running.

"Megan, are you okay?" he asked.

"The boys put up my song on iTunes!" I said.

"But, how? Griffin had to approve your song first." Chase told me.

I smiled.

"Never underestimate the boys to find a loophole in Griffin's contract."

Together, Chase and I read the comments people have posted:

This chick rocks! I don't understand why she's not famous!

The song is awesome! Plus, she's so cute!

"5, 6, 7, 8" just became my favorite song!

Thanks, iTunes! I've been looking for an upbeat, a cross between country and pop song, and this song is it!

Justin Who? Megan Collins is going to kick him out of his place!

All of the comments were like that.

I called the boys after I read the comments.

"Miracles Hotline, where we make your dreams come true! This is Cat Rocque. How may I help you?" I heard Cat ask.

I laughed.

"Cat, this is Megan! Can you put Kendall on for me?" I ask.

I heard Cat smile.

"Yeah...Kendall, it's Megan!"

There were a few clicking sounds.

"Hey, Megan. Do you like your surprise?" Kendall ask.

I nodded.

"Of course! How did you get on iTunes though?" I ask.

"We had Gustavo get us a copy of Griffin's contract. We looked through it, and it said you can put your song on iTunes, as along as your manager, meaning, Gustavo, likes it. You don't need Griffin's approval after all." Kendall replied.

I grinned.

"I could just kiss you guys right now! You guys are the greatest!" I explained.

I heard Kendall laugh.

"I'd like that. But, you're not in Los Angeles anymore." Kendall stated.

I frowned.

"Oh, that's right. I can't go back to Los Angeles now! Griffin's probably banned me from Rocque Records anyways." I said.

I heard Kendall smile.

"What? What are you up too, Kendall Knight?" I asked.

"Unless we can get you back in." Kendall asked.

"Not unless you guys have a secret door or something, leading to Gustavo's recording studio." I replied.

I heard Kendall smile again.

"You do!" I explained.

Kendall laughed.

"How do you feel about ducts?" he asked.

I smiled.

Then, we started to hatch a plan.
