I do not own Big Time Rush

Chapter Three
Kendall's P.O.V
Tuesday

"What are you doing here?" I asked Kolton.

He shrugged, "I wanted to go for a walk."

"I meant, what are you doing in L.A?"

"I- I-" he sighed, "I don't know."

"You don't know, or you can't tell me?"

"Both?"

I groaned and grabbed his wrist, "Come on, I'm taking you back up to the apartment."

"What?"

"I'm taking you up to 2J. You have some explaining to do."

Kolton sighed but let me pull him through the maze. Somehow, I was able to get us out of there in twenty minutes and we were on our way back to the Palmwoods. I saw people staring at us but I didn't care. They would have found out that I had a twin brother eventually.

Neither of us said anything as we walked into the Palmwoods and got in the elevator. I kept a hold of his wrist so that he wouldn't try to run as soon as the elevator doors opened. We were almost to the apartment when Kolton suddenly stopped, I tried to pull him along but he wouldn't move. I turned to him, "Why are you stopping?"

"Is mom home?"

I paused, I had forgotten about her. "Hold on."

He nodded and I pulled my phone out. I dialed Logan's number and waited for him to pick up. I was starting to freak out when I heard, "Kendall?"

"Logan! Is mom home?"

"No, she and Katie are spending the week back home, remember?"

"Oh yeah… okay. Can you get Carlos and James and meet me in the living room.?"

"Sure, are you already in the apartment?"

"No just in the hallway outside," I replied as I hung up. I turned back to Kolton, "Mom and Katie are spending the week back home. They left a few hours after you guys Skyped us."

He nodded and let me finish pulling him towards the apartment. I pushed him inside and pointed to the couch as I closed the door. Kolton sat down and I stood in front of him as we waited. Soon enough, Carlos came down the swirly slide, followed by James and Logan. They all stopped when they saw Kolton sitting on the couch. Their eyes widened after they looked between us a few times.

James was the first one to speak, "Kolton?"

Kolton turned around and attempted to smile, "Hey."

"What are you doing here?"

"He won't answer that," I said. "he was walking around the Park before he got a call. When I asked him that question, all he said was that he was 'taking a walk.'"

Logan, James, and Carlos walked around the couch and stood next to me while Kolton looked down at the floor. I crossed my arms and waited for something to happen. Nothing did. Logan elbowed me in the side and mouth 'Disturbia' while pointing at Kolton. I nodded before taking a small step forward. "You lied, didn't you?"

Kolton nodded but didn't look up.

"You know who is in Disturbia, right?"

Another nod.

"Can you tell who that is?" Logan asked.

He shook his head.

"Why not?"

"I just can't." he said, finally looking up at us.

"Then can you tell us why you are in L.A?"

"No."

"Are you staying at the Palmwoods?" Carlos asked.

"No."

"Then why were you walking in Palmwoods Park?" I asked.

Kolton just shrugged.

I sighed, we weren't getting anywhere. Suddenly I turned around and motioned for the others to back up a little bit. "You said that Camille hit one of the new kids, right?" I asked Logan.

He nodded, "Yea, why?"

"Go get here and bring her back her. Maybe she will recognize Kolton."

"Okay, I'll be right back." Logan turned and quickly left the apartment.

The three of us turned and watched Kolton. He was back to looking at his hands and not saying anything. "What are we supposed to do while we wait for Logan?" James whispered.

"Let's race."

James and Carlos gave me weird looks before they realized that I was talking about playing the Xbox. They nodded. James went to put the game in while Carlos grabbed the controllers. He gave two to me before sitting on the floor in front the of the table. Going over to the couch, I sat down next to Kolton. Holding out the controller, I asked, "Think you can still beat me?"

Kolton glanced at the controller before looking up at me, "I can always beat you."

He took the controller and I smiled. James was now sitting next to Carlos and the game was loading. Things seemed normal as we started playing. It was almost like we were still back home, hanging out while mom and Katie were out. Like before dad died.

I jumped when the door opened and Logan and Camille walked in. We paused the game and I stood up. "Do you recognize him?" I asked, motioning towards Kolton.

She nodded, "Yeah, he was in the group."

"And you said there was five of them?"

Camille nodded again. We were all quiet, watching Kolton. He was squirming on the couch, not used to being stared at by so many people. Suddenly, a ringing broke the silence, causing us all to jump. Kolton slowly took his phone out of his pocket, looking up at us, "Can I take this in another room?"

"Yeah, mine and Logan's room is the last room on the right upstairs." I said, motioning towards the swirly slide.

He nodded and quickly got up, answering the call as he made his way upstairs. We all tried to listen to what he was saying but it was no use, he was too far away. Logan sat down in Kolton's old seat while Camille looked at her phone. "I have to go, guys. Hope you can find some answers about why your brother is here, Kendall."

"Thanks for coming over, Camille. He won't tell us anything."

"He'll tell you in time. Don't worry."

I nodded as she turned and walked out of the apartment. I sat on the couch next to Logan and we all waited in silence for Kolton to get back from taking his call. There was a tense silence as we waited, wondering who my brother was talking to and what he was talking about.

After a moment, we heard him come down the slide and he sat on the couch between me and Logan. He didn't say anything. I started wringing my hands together because I didn't know what to do. We couldn't keep him here but we needed to know why he was here in L.A.

"That's just weird."

I looked up to see James and Carlos watching me. "What are you talking about?"

"You and Kolton were both wringing your hands. It was like mirror images." James said.

Kolton and I both stopped wringing our hands and set them in our laps. At the same time.

"Really weird," Carlos whispered.

Kolton chuckled and I smiled. We always did some things at the same time. People thought it was cute when we were younger, but it slowly faded as we grew up. It was almost like old times, except we had changed. A lot.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. We all looked at it but no one made the move to answer it. There was another knock and Carlos headed towards the door. I stood up in front of Kolton just in case it was my mom and Katie coming home early. "Who is it, Carlos?" I asked.

Instead of answering, he moved aside, showing us who was in the hallway.

"Vanessa?"

Vanessa's P.O.V

I knew what I was doing could put the band in danger, but I didn't have a choice. Kolton was trapped in 2J and I needed to get him out. The others didn't know that Kolton had been seen so I had to go get him myself. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I thought someone would open it fairly quickly but I didn't hear anyone walking towards the door. Once I knocked again, I heard footsteps walking towards the door. The door opened slowly and I saw my older brother on the other side of the door. He stared at me with wide eyes, his mouth slowly falling open.

"Who is it, Carlos?"

Instead of answering, Carlos moved aside so that everyone in the apartment could see me.

"Vanessa?" Kendall asked, eyes wide?

I smiled, "Hey, guys."

"What are you doing here?" Carlos asked as I walked into the apartment.

"Getting Kolton."

"What are you two doing in L.A?"

"Do you want the truth?" I asked, looking at all of them.

"That would be nice," James stated.

"Okay, but can I sit down?" I asked, motioning at the couch. They nodded and I sat down next to Kolton. His eyes were wide but I squeezed his hand, showing him that everything would be alright. "We're here because we wanted to visit you guys. We thought that it would be a nice surprise. We didn't want to tell you guys at first because we wanted to relax after the flight. Sadly, your friend saw us and then Kendall caught Kolton when he went for a walk."

Everyone was silent for a moment, taking it all in. Kolton may not have been the best liar, but I was. I just hoped they didn't question Kolton about what I had said.

Kendall was staring at us with a confused look on his face. "Are you okay, Ken?" Kolton asked.

"Are you two dating?" he blurted out.

It was only then that I realized that Kolton's arm was around my shoulders. He must have done that when I was telling the guys why we were here. Kolton tensed and I put my hand on his knee and squeezed it. "Is there a problem with that?" I asked.

"No, it's just that I didn't know," Kendall explained. "How long?"

"Vanessa helped me when I first got out. We got really close and after the first week of me being out, we became more than friends." Kolton said with a shrug, not realizing how the last part of his statement sounded.

"Are you saying you had sex with my sister after a week?" Carlos screamed as he came forward.

We both jumped. "No!"

I stood up, "Calm down, Carlos. Kolton meant that we wanted to start dating. He freaked out one night and ran off. Shane called me and I went out to look for him. After I got him calmed down, we just sat there, together, for a little while. Kolton looked at me and instead of saying anything, he kissed me. We've made out a lot since then but we haven't had sex."

Carlos watched me for a little but before he nodded. "So how long?"

"Three weeks."

They all nodded. "Well, congrats, I guess," James said a little awkwardly.

Kolton and I chuckled, "Thanks."

"So are the others here?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, we can go get them and meet you guys in the park if you want."

"That'd be awesome. Can you go get them right now?" Carlos asked.

"Yeah, we can meet you in like ten or fifteen minutes, is that okay?"

Kendall nodded, "We'll see you guys then."

Kolton and I stood up and headed towards the door. Logan opened the door for us and closed it as we walked down the hallway toward the elevator. It wasn't until we were inside the elevator that Kolton started talking. "How did you come up with that lie? You only had like thee minutes between our apartment and theirs." he asked.

"It was the first thing that popped into my head after I stopped talking to you. I just can't believe that they fell for it."

Kolton put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him, "Thanks for getting me out of there," he whispered.

"No problem, baby."

He leaned in and touched his lips to mine. We kept the kiss slow because we didn't want it to get too carried away while we were in the elevator. He pulled away and leaned his head against mine, "I'm happy that wet old the guys about us, even if we didn't mean to."

"Yeah, I thought Carlos was going to kill you though. You didn't think before you said that statement, did you?"

Kolton winced and shook his head at my words, "I didn't realize how bad it sounded until it was already out in the air."

"At least your still alive."

"Yeah."

We stood there until we heard the ding that meant we were on our floor. Pulling away from each other, we headed towards our apartment with out hands interlocked. Inside the apartment, we saw Shane and Javi playing on the Xbox. "Hey, guys."

"Hey," they said simultaneously, not taking their eyes of off the TV.

"Where's Eve?" I asked, looking around.

"Upstairs fixing her hair. We Shane messed it up when she got in the way of us and the TV." Javi replied.

"Like this?" I asked as I stepped in front of them and turning off the TV.

"No!"

"What was that for?" Shane screamed as he stood up.

"We have to meet the guys in the park in ten minutes," Kolton said as he moved in between me and Shane.

"What do you mean 'we have to meet t guys in the park in ten minutes'?" Javi asked.

"Kolton got caught by Kendall when he went for a walk. We came up with a lie that will keep them off our backs for a little bit. But to keep up the lie, we all have to meet them in the park in ten minutes." I explained.

"Oh.'

"Yeah, I'll go get Eve and then we can head down to the park."

They nodded and I left Kolton with them. Upstairs, I headed into the bathroom that Eve and I shared. I stopped and leaned against the doorjamb while he straightened her hair. She saw me in the mirror, "Hey."

"Hey, how much longer are you going to be straightening your hair?"

"I'm almost done, why?"

"We have to meet the guys in the Park 'cause Kolton got caught be Kendall when he went for a walk."

"So they know we're here?"

"Yeah, but they just think that we visiting them for a little bit."

"What are we going to do when our 'visit' is over?" Eve asked as she finished straightening her hair.

"I don't know. I can talk to Dimitri and see if he can get us moved somewhere else so that we don't have to sneak around."

"Do you think that he would do that for us?"

I shrugged and sighed, "Probably if we tell him why we can't live here."

"You mean if we tell him that we're related to Big Time Rush?"

"Yeah."

Eve watched me as I thought about how to tell Dimitri about our problem. I was the best person when it came to talking someone into something, that was how we'd made it here. Everyone back home thought that it would be a bad idea for Kolton to come here to L.A but I was able to talk them into it. Shane may be the eldest in the band, but everyone looked to me to lead them.

"Are you okay, V?" Eve asked concerned.

I nodded, "Yeah, just thinking about some things. Why don't we go downstairs so that we can head over to the park."

"Okay."

Eve left the bathroom and I followed her. We could tell them that we had a week off, that way I would have a little bit of time to convince Dimitri to get us a different apartment. In the living room, Shane, Javi and Kolton were all sitting on the couch staring the TV, which was still off. "Are you guys ready to go?" I asked. They all nodded and stood up. Kolton took my hand and we all started heading out the door. We were all quiet as we entered the elevator and rode down to the lobby.

"How long are we going to tell them that we are here for?" Javi asked, looking at me.

"A week."

"What are we going to do when the week is up? Go back to sneaking around when we go to the studio?" Shane asked.

"No, I'm going to try and talk to Dimitri and see if he can get us a different apartment. But to do that, I'll have to tell him that we are related Big Time Rush." They all looked at me like I was nuts and I rolled my eyes. "It's the only thing we can do."

"She has a point," Shane stated.

"I guess you're right. When are you going to call Dimitri?" Eve asked.

"I can just tell him tomorrow when we get to the studio."

They all nodded. The elevator dinged and we all walked out. The rest of the walk to the park was silent. I couldn't stop thinking about what I was going to have to do tomorrow morning. Now that the guys knew we were in L.A, going to the studio every morning just got a little harder.

I sighed and Kolton squeezed my hand as we reached the park. The guys weren't there yet so we kind of split up. Kolton and I sat at the base of a tree while Shane and Javi started playing catch with a ball they found and Eve listened to her iPod while sitting on a bench. I put my head on Kolton's shoulder and he kissed the top of my head. He seemed to be fine with just sitting in silence next to each other. Closing my eyes, I let the sounds of the people playing and talking in the park to calm me. Just as I felt I was going to fall asleep, Kolton squeezed my hand, "They're here."

Nodding, I opened my eyes and saw the guys standing a few feet away from us. Kolton stood up and pulled me along with him. Javi and Shane had noticed the guys enter the park so they were walking towards him. Eve was still listening to her iPod so I let go of Kolton's hand to go get her. Soon enough, we were standing in two groups, staring at each other. Kolton shifted from one foot to the other and Kendall did the same thing a moment later. "So…"

Kolton's P.O.V

Not even a second after I had spoken, I was surrounded by Kendall's arms. He was squeezing me tightly. "I missed you so much," he whispered.

I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back, "I missed you too, bro."

He loosened his arms slightly and pulled back to look at me. His eyes were slightly red and I chuckled, "Are you going to cry?"

"No! I'm just glad that you're here. When you first went to the Academy, I knew that I would see you eventually, but when we moved out here, I never thought I'd see you again. I'm so glad that you are okay, K."

"I still can't believe that you four managed to make it out here."

Kendall smiled, "I know, we almost got sent back home a few times though. We can't go one day without getting in trouble."

"Do you want to sit down and talk?" I asked as I looked around at the others. They all seemed to be talking to their siblings with smiles on their faces. Now, instead of two groups, there were four.

"Sure, where do you want to go?"

I shrugged, "You know this place more than I do."

He chuckled, "Oh, yeah. How about we just sit under a tree?"

"That's fine with me."

We headed over to the tree that Vanessa and I had been under when they first got here. Instead of leaning up against the tree next to each other, we sat with the tree on my right (his left) and faced each other.

"There is only one thing that I don't want to talk about today," I whispered, looking at the ground.

"The Academy?"

"I don't think I can take talking about that place yet."

"Hey, it's okay. You don't ever have to talk about that place if you don't want to," Kendall whispered. "Let's just talk about other things, like you and Vanessa."

"What about us?"

"Anything. Everything."

I shrugged, "I don't really know what to say. She helped me out the most when I got out. Anytime I needed to talk to someone, she was always there. Even when it was two in the morning and we had school the next day. There wasn't one time when she wouldn't talk to me if I needed to.

"The night I freaked out, she came and calmed me down. I know that Shane called her and told her o look for me, but I don't think that anyone else would have been able to calm me down that night. It was only then that I realized that I liked her more than a friend, that I wanted her to like me as more than a friend too."

Kendall was silent for a moment, taking it all in. "Do you love her?"

"I - I don't know. We've only been going out for three weeks but I feel this really strong connection with her. One that I've never felt with someone before."

"I'm happy for you, Kolton. We've been through a lot and I'm glad that you've found someone that makes you happy."

I smiled, "Thanks, Kendall. Have you found anyone out here that you like?"

He shrugged, "I had a girlfriend at one point but she had to move to New Zealand for a movie."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I liked her, but I don't think I loved her. It hurt at first when she left, but the guys helped me out of it."

"Yeah."

We were both silent for a little bit. Suddenly a Frisbee landed right in between us. Jumping, we looked around and saw the others laughing at us. "Come on! We're going to play ultimate Frisbee!" James yelled, motioning for us to join them.

We laughed and jumped up. Kendall grabbed the Frisbee and threw it back at the others while we ran. Soon we had split into two groups, Big Time Rush against Disturbia, even though they didn't know we were Disturbia yet.

We played until the sun went down. By then, the score was fifteen to ten, with Disturbia winning. We all sat on the ground in a circle, laughing as we caught our breath. "That was so fun!" Carlos exclaimed happily.

"Yeah, you guys need to come out here more often. We have fun with just the four of us, but we always get in trouble. This time, we just had a fun game without anyone getting hurt and without Bitters coming after us." Logan said.

"Are you guys doing anything tomorrow?" James asked, looking at all of us.

"I don't think so." Vanessa replied, tensing slightly.

"Do you guys want to hang out with us? Mom and Katie are back home for the week and we have the week off."

"Your mom trusted you four by yourselves during your week off? Is she nuts?" Javi asked, eyes going wide.

"At first we didn't have the week off so she thought we were would be with Gustavo most of the time. By the time Gustavo told us we had the week off, it was to late for mom to cancel their trip." Kendall explained.

"You guys are so going to get in trouble at some point this week."

"Well, how long are you guys going to be here?" Logan asked.

"A week," Shane told his brother.

"Maybe we won't get in trouble since you guys are here. You can keep us out of trouble." Carlos said.

"It's possible," Vanessa said. "Or we could all get in trouble."

We all started laughing at that. Suddenly Kendall sighed, "Well, I guess we should head back up to the apartments and go to bed. It's getting kind of late."
We all nodded and slowly got up. We were all silent as we walked towards the Palmwoods. None of us wanted to leave our siblings. We knew that we had to go up against them in the Battle of the Bands, but they just thought we were only here for a week to visit them. We reached the lobby and stopped, giving our sibling hugs. Kendall hugged me long and hard, "I don't want this week to end," he whispered before letting go. "I want you to stay here with us but I know you don't trust mom."

"I wish I could stay with you too but I don't think I could take facing mom anytime soon."

Kendall nodded and squeezed my shoulder before backing away and joining the other guys in the elevator. They waved and we waved back. I sighed as the elevator closed and they started up. We were waiting for the next elevator. A hand squeezed my shoulder and I smiled at Vanessa as she smiled at me.

"You doing okay?"

"Yeah, it was great spending a day with Kendall."

"How are we going to spend this week with them? We still have to go to the studio everyday." Shane asked.

"I'll call Dimitri when we get up to the apartment. He's going to have to let us off this week unless he wants them to find out that we're Dimitri." Vanessa said as we got into the elevator.

Vanessa's P.O.V

Once we got up to the apartment, the others headed into their rooms to get ready for bed while I headed into the living room to call Dimitri. Even though it was late, I knew he would answer. We were his newest money making trick so he wouldn't ignore us when we called him, no matter what time it was. He didn't want us to do something that could harm the possibility of us winning the Battle in six weeks.

The phone rang a few times before it stopped, "Hello?"

"Hey, Dimitri, it's Vanessa."

"What do you want? It's like eleven o'clock at night."

I sighed, "I know but we might have a problem."

"What do you mean?"

"You know how we are going to go up against Big Time Rush in the Battle?"

"Yeah…"

"Well, Kendall is Kolton's twin brother, Carlos in mine and Javi's older brother, James is Eve's older brother and Logan is Shane's younger brother."

"Okay, I don't see the problem yet."

"The problem is that we are now living two floors above them and they know we're here. They have this week off and we came up with a lie saying that we are here for a week to visit them. You need to let us have this week off so we can hang out with them and then you need to find us somewhere else to stay until the Battle. If you don't do this, we will tell them who we are and why we're really here." I growled.

"O-okay. I can do that. One week off and a new apartment. Got it." he said, barely.

"Thanks."

I hung up and sat down on the couch. We had one week off to spend with our brothers, five weeks to practice for the Battle, and six weeks of hiding Disturbia from big Time Rush.

This is going to be fun, I thought sarcastically.

What did you think? Any comments or questions?
