Author's Note: I'm sorry, but this chapter is going to be short. I'll work on chapter fifteen immediately. Reviews and criticism are love! Enjoy, and happy reading!

Second Chances

First, before we put our plan into action, I had to convince Mom that Chase and I had to go back to California.

After I told her Griffin didn't like my song, she forbid me to talk about it (I could tell it broke her heart that I didn't make my dreams a reality).

Cat and the boys caught an early flight to Elizabethtown, and I told them Chase and I would meet them in The Red Balloon Cafe.

When they arrived, I immediately screamed.

Cat and I hugged, while Chase and the boys laughed.

"I've missed you!" I replied.

"Me too! The Palmwoods isn't the same with you and Chase." Cat commented.

Logan frowned.

"Girls, it's been twenty-four hours." Logan noted.

I looked at him.

"When you're a girl, not seeing your best friend for twenty-four hours is cruel."

Logan shook his head.

Chase looked at the group.

"The Red Balloon Cafe is attached to our house. We can go up those stairs."

He pointed to a case of stairs, and Cat looked at him.

"Oh, just like Wizards Of Waverly Place! Except your family owns a cafe, not a sandwich shop." Cat stated.

I smiled.

"Cat, I missed you."

"What about us?" Carlos asked.

I grinned.

"I missed you guys too."

We followed Chase up the stairs, where it led us to the living room.

Mom and Dad were both sitting on the couch.

Mom was the first one to look up.

"Oh, hey! Who are your friends?" she asked, looking at Cat and the boys.

I looked at her.

"Mom, dad. Meet Cat and the boys from Big Time Rush."

Mom looked at the boys.

"Aren't you the band that Megan likes?" she asked.

I blushed.

"Mom!"

Chase looked at her.

"Mom, Megan and I want to go back to California." Chase prompted.

Mom's eyes got wide.

"Oh, no! No! I won't let Megan get hurt again!"

Kendall looked at her.

"Mrs. Collins, people like her song. Griffin may have not liked it, but that's why Megan and Chase have to go back to California: to prove Griffin wrong." Kendall told her.

Mom nodded slowly.

Then, she looked at me.

"Are you sure you want to back to California?" she asked me.

I looked at her.

"Yes. Just like what Kendall said, I'd like to prove Griffin wrong." I replied.

Mom looked Dad.

"What do you think?" she asked.

Dad looked at her.

"If Megan and Chase feel this strongly about this, then I say let them go."

Mom bit her lower lip.

"Then, okay. You and Chase can go back to California."

Chase, the boys, and Cat all smiled.

But, I frowned.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

Mom nodded.

"Honey, what kind of mother would I be if I didn't let my daughter chase after her dreams?" Mom asked.

I smiled.

"Thanks, Mom."

Mom nodded.

"You're welcome, honey."
