Chapter 4
James' POV
They arrived at Roque Records on time, which was a cause for celebration – James thought so, anyway. Gustavo didn't agree, though. He just yelled, "Get in the recording booth NOW!" The dogs obeyed without a fuss, the smiles leaving their faces. Except for James. He continued to smile, thinking about Danica. He wondered how she was doing – what she was doing – this morning. He had only met her once, and he was already falling in love with her.
"JAMES! Why are you still SMILING?" Gustavo shouted. Carlos answered in a sing-song voice, "James is in love!" James stopped smiling and smacked Carlos on the back of the head. Carlos glared at him but refrained from saying anything because Gustavo was already yelling again, "You are going to record 'Any Kind of Guy' NOW!"
They started singing but James' mind was still miles away. When they finished they started recording another song, 'Big Night'. James couldn't get his mind off of Danica. As soon as they were finished for the morning, James decided to go for a drive. Carlos, Logan, and Kendall decided to tag along.
James was driving. They entered a random neighborhood. James didn't know that it happened to be the neighborhood that Danica lived in.
Danica's POV
I woke up in Zoe's car; her dad was driving. I asked in a hoarse voice," Where are we going?" Zoe answered, "We're taking you to the hospital." I immediately sat up and began to protest, "I don't need to go to the hospital! Please, just drop me off at home!" I figured my dad was at work right now. It would be safe to go home. "Please take me home."
Zoe's dad said, "You look pretty beat up. Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" I nodded, "I'm fine." He sighed and turned the car around.
"Is your father abusing you?" I figured if he was asking that stupid question, he didn't know. So I shook my head. I didn't want them to call the police. I don't know why, but I just didn't want to see my dad arrested.
Zoe gave me a look that said she knew I was bullshiting her father, but we would discuss it later. I sighed, as I knew she would grill me later on what had happened. We drove up to my house and they dropped me off. Zoe went to school, but I didn't feel up to it.
As I limped up my driveway, a car came around the corner. I heard it go past, and then stop and back up. I ignored it and continued towards my door. But I stopped when I heard someone get out of the car and say, "Danica?" I turned around and saw James Diamond and the rest of Big Time Rush standing in my driveway.
