"When you see my face hope it gives you hell."

"You've GOT to be kidding me!" a frustrated voice snapped at no one in particular.

The Palm Woods hotel was known to be quite loud and full of life during the day, but as soon as midnight strolled by, most of its inhabitants were either in bed or relaxing for the night, the day's activities draining most of the energy out of the teenagers living there. The peace and silence of the night usually lulled most to a relaxing slumber, all except one.

"It's been three weeks!"

Jayne Kent groaned to herself as she pulled the pillow out from below her head and pressed it against both of her ears. She squeezed her eyes shut as she huffed, sitting up and glaring at the wall across from her bed. She stared bullets at it, hoping that perhaps she would suddenly grow the ability to shoot and kill with her faded blue eyes; she couldn't.

"It's already," she glanced at the clock hanging on her wall, "two in the morning!" she snapped as she sprung out of bed like a grasshopper. She quietly opened her bedroom door, glancing over at the living room to see her 'chaperone' fast asleep in front of their widescreen TV. The sixteen year old sighed as she shook her head, walking up to the screen and pressing the power button to turn it off.

Sometimes I feel like the adult around here. the brunette thought as she made her way toward the apartment door.

After shutting it quietly behind, Jayne took a deep breath and slowly released it, closing her eyes. She clenched her mouth shut as she listened to the sound of voices, which were probably coming from the television, and muffled voices from the room next door. Standing tall, the young lady walked over to the neighbor's door and sighed.

"Here goes."

Knock Knock

"What the?" A pair of green eyes flickered over towards the sound coming from the front door and a rather full eyebrow raised itself.

"Can someone get that? I'm kinda busy here!" a voice called out as three pairs of eyes glanced over at a figure digging through the fridge, holding a great amount of snacks and drinks.

"Best two out of three?" the shaggy haired boy of the group asked. His other two companions nodded as their fists came out.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Dang it," the darker one of the three groaned as he stood up from his comfy spot on the couch.

"Seat check!" he called out as the other two boys chuckled, stealing his seat anyways.

The helmet wearing teen shook his head as he laughed, grabbing the door knob and twisting it. As he pulled the door open, he blinked, his jaw falling ajar.

"Hi."

Surprised, and enjoying the view, Carlos forgot his own greeting as he stared with hearts in his eyes, a goofy sort of smile on his face.

"Dude, who's at the door?" the son of the apartment owner asked as he closed the fridge and approached his friend. He raised a brow as he peeked over Carlos' shoulder, and his eyes widened for a second.

"Hey buddy, why don't you sit down," Kendall suggested as he gently guided Carlos toward the couch, who walked towards it like a zombie. The dirty blond shook his head as he smiled and turned to the person in front of his door.

"How can I help you at-" Kendall's green eyes widened as he glanced at the time. "It's two fifteen in the morning."

"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about," his guest said as she smiled, though anyone could see just how forced it was.

"You see, I live right next door," the girl started as she pointed to her left, Kendall's right. He stuck his head out the door a bit as he watched the teen point to the door right next door. "Yeah, right there. I live in the room right against that wall," she explained as she pointed to the TV hanging on the wall. "And sometimes, when I'm trying to sleep, you guys watch TV insanely loud," she stated, trying to not sound too irritated. The lead singer of the band, Big Time Rush, hid his smirk as he stared right through the tired looking girl's façade. He crossed his arms as he leaned against the doorframe of his home and listened to the brunette.

"I don't want to sound…you know…but is there any way you guys could possibly, oh, I don't know, turn the noise down?" she asked, her fake smile now replaced with a more demanding expression. She stood defiantly in front of the singer as she too had her arms crossed.

Well, someone seems to be a little grumpy this morning, Kendall thought teasingly as his green eyes shined a bit from the light in the hall. He smiled innocently as he feigned confusion.

"So, you're saying that we're too loud?" he asked with an innocent look on his face.

Jayne, seeing the fake expression on her neighbor's face, narrowed her eyes as she glared a bit, realizing that this boy was only messing with her at that point.

"Ok, buddy," she snapped, her demeanor suddenly changing. "I've been trying to sleep through the constant racket that comes from this room every night for the past couple of weeks, and it's starting to annoy me," she stated very bluntly, which surprised the dirty blond a bit.

Smirking to himself, Kendall put on his mask as he turned the dark haired girl around and gently began to push her back toward her room.

"Don't you worry about a thing, uh, what's your name?" he asked.

"Jayne Kent," she muttered as she glanced over her shoulder to see a nerve breaking smile on the blond's face.

"We'll definitely keep the TV down from now on," he stated as the two arrived in front of Jayne's room door. The brunette turned to face the blond as she raised a suspicious brow. She eyed the boy in front of her before she reached for her door knob. She hesitated as she turned around, giving her neighbor a wary look.

"…Thanks, I guess," she said as she opened her door. She watched as the blond gave her a quick wave, smiling innocently. Rolling her eyes, she shut the door, too tired to deal with the strange boy.

"So it's the TV she's having trouble with?" Kendall smirked as he walked back to his home, releasing a short chuckle.

"What was that about?"

The blond looked back at his friends as he closed his front door. He smirked as he walked towards his best friends, taking a seat next to the smarter one of the four.

"You think we're ever too loud?"

"Too loud? Not really, but I guess the walls are pretty thin. Why?" Logan asked curiously as Kendall smirked a bit more, grabbing the remote and shutting it off.

"No reason, just curious is all."

"Well, I'm glad that that's settled," Jayne smiled to herself as she closed her bedroom door. Crawling back into her bed, she sighed to herself, clapping and watching as her lights flickered off.

Ah, silence, she thought to herself happily as she closed her eyes and sighed, feeling more relaxed than she had in weeks. Now that I- The once relieved girl quickly tensed up as she swiftly sat up, her eyes wide as she listened to the sound of music coming through her wall. She clenched her mouth shut as her hands balled into fists. She growled to herself as she shook her head, shoving her blankets off. Not bothering to stay quiet, Jayne stomped toward the door, ignoring the sleeping woman on the couch, who was oblivious to anything going on outside of her dreams.

"Who the heck does that guy think he is?" the now completely awake girl snapped as she marched up to her neighbor's door and pounded. Receiving no answer, Jayne slammed her knuckles into the wooden door even harder, but still didn't get an answer. Finally deciding she had enough, the brunette began to knock with her fist.

"OPEN UP!" she shouted, not noticing the silence from the room. She blinked, surprised as the door swiftly sung open. She narrowed her eyes as the boy she had spoken with earlier answered with an innocently confused expression on his.

"Could you keep it down? It's a little late for you to be shouting, don't you think?" he stated as Jayne blinked, her boiling point being met.

"A-Are you kidding?" she snapped as she looked over the dirty blond's shoulder to see three other boys standing not too far off behind him. "What did you not understand when I said you were-"

"Actually, you must be the confused one," Kendall interrupted, irritating the girl even more. "You came here and complained about the TV being too loud."

Jayne grew pale as she stood silently.

"If I remember right, you never mentioned anything about music," the leader of the four boys stated. The three others behind Kendall glanced at each other as they watched the brunette hold her breath, her pupils dilating and her fists trembling. She narrowed her eyes as she took a step closer to Kendall, who leaned back a bit.

"Don't you have a chaperone or someone-"

"My mom and sister are out of town for an audition," Kendall stated with a smirk. Jayne growled a bit as she shook her head.

"So that's how you want to play, is that right?" she hissed as she pointed her index finger right in his face. "Fine. You asked for it!"

Without another word, Jayne turned on her heels, walking back to her apartment room and slamming the door shut.

Kendall, much too proud of his work, laughed a bit as he closed his own door, turning to his friends who joined in with his laughter.

"You've got a point," said Logan as the four began to walk toward the couch. "She's cute when she's irritated."

Kendall nodded as he plopped down on his couch. He grabbed the remote to the stereo and smiled mischievously to his three friends.

"Anyone have a song request?"

The L.A. sun peeked through the shades of room 2H, bringing life to the living room. A moan filled the air as the early March morning greeted the unwilling.

Click Clack

A well dressed twenty-four year old walked out into the living room but stopped, the sound of heels against the hard wood ceasing as well.

"Jayne?"

Said girl groaned as she flipped over, covering her face with an extra pillow from the big couch she had spent what little of the night she had had left to sleep.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Hating my life," the sixteen year old groggily snapped into the pillow, confusing the dark haired woman standing over her.

"I don't want to know," the woman stated as she walked into the kitchen, turning the coffee pot on.

"You've got the rest of this week as a break before-"

"I know, I know," Jayne stated as she finally pulled the feather pillow away from her face to look toward the kitchen.

"For someone who's so proper and mature, you sure do have a lot of attitude."

"Blame my mother for that."

"That's true. My sister was always the brattiest sometimes," Jayne's aunt stated playfully as she chuckled at her own joke. "Well, anyway, I'm going out with George, so if you need me I've got my cell."

Jayne didn't respond but merely nodded, not having enough energy to say anything to her aunt. She waved a lazy goodbye as she watched her relative walk out of the apartment, closing the door behind her. Glancing at the time, Jayne's eyes widened as she released an annoyed scream into her pillow.

It was only nine in the morning.

"I swear, this isn't over."

"Hey, you ready?"

"Give me a second, I'll meet you guys downstairs." Kendall smiled as he watched his band mates and friends nod and walk out of room 2J. He walked into his room, quickly changing out of his pajamas. Due to his alarm clock not ringing when it should have and Logan already being awake, Kendall was the last one to get up, which meant that if he didn't hurry, Gustavo would have his head for it later.

Rolling his eyes at the thought, the dirty blond pulled his jeans on, buttoning them, and made sure everything was in place in the body length mirror. He slipped his converse on as he walked out of his room. Before making it past the kitchen, he stopped at the feeling of his cell phone vibrating. Pulling it out quickly, the singer read a text message and frowned a bit as he walked out of his home, slamming the door a bit.

"I know, it's last minute, but I have to stay on set longer than I expected. I don't think I'm going to make dinner tonight. I'll make it up to you though, I swear!" Kendall read the message from his girlfriend as he shook his head, stepping into the elevator.

"As crazy as this may sound, after the tenth time of you bailing on me, I've gotten over you always canceling. But I've got a question for you, does it ever bother you that you see your cast mates more than the person you call your boyfriend?" Kendall stared at his text and sighed as he closed his eyes, leaning against the elevator wall. He shook his head erasing everything.

"It's not a big deal. I understand, we can just have dinner another time. So just focus on work." He wondered if sometimes he was too understanding.

Feeling the elevator come to a stop. The beanie wearing teen stood up to walk out, but stopped. He smirked a bit as he stood in front of a familiar looking girl.

"Well, good morning," Kendall stated as he smiled innocently at the brunette in front of him.

"Hn, morning," Jayne snapped, trying to keep her glaring to a minimum. She took a step to the side, allowing Kendall to walk out of the elevator. She watched as he nodded a thank you, making his way past her. He stopped and turned to her, watching as she stepped into the elevator.

"How did you sleep, by the way?" He smirked as he watched the flames ignite in Jayne's eyes. There was something about annoying the girl that amused Kendall to no end. Perhaps it was the fact she seemed so polite at first glance or maybe it was because underneath her fake smile and her fake polite attitude, he could see the dark glint in her blue eyes. It was the glint that said, 'I'm not really who I'm pretending to be.' Over the years, Kendall grew a special talent for finding that look in people, and it came in handy sometimes, especially now.

"I slept quite well, actually. Thank you for asking," Jayne lied as she smiled. She smoothed her blouse and skirt out as she pressed the button to her floor.

"What about yourself?" she asked as Kendall raised a brow, surprised by the question.

"Uh, pretty good."

Not for long!

"That's good to hear," the blue eyed girl stated simply as Kendall watched the girl suspiciously. He nodded slowly as Jayne smiled sweetly at him.

"Well, I'll see you around," she said as the elevator doors closed.

Kendall stared at his reflection from the metal doors, his thick brow raised high.

"…That was really weird," he mumbled to himself.

"Kendall?"

Said boy turned around as he faced his closest friend.

"What are you doing? We're going to be late," Logan said anxiously. The last thing he wanted was Gustavo to kill them; he liked being alive.

"Sorry about that," Kendall said as he began to walk, Logan joining him. As the two walked out through entrance of the hotel, the dirty blond glanced at the elevator door with a raised brow before shaking his last thought off.

She's up to something.

"Clay?" an alto ranged voice called out. The owner of the voice glanced around the room and smirked a bit as she saw her aunt sleeping soundly in her bedroom. She approached the bedside and took a deep breath. "CLAIRE!" she shouted as loud as her throat possibly allowed her. Her smirk widened as she found her aunt still fast asleep.

"Perfect!" Jayne said as she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. She placed her hands on her hips, standing proudly, and stared at the mini-speaker system sitting on the kitchen table.

"You wanted to play dirty," she mumbled as a playful gleam appeared in her eyes. "So I'm going to play dirty."

"Alright man, if I stay up any longer I'm seriously going to die."

"Yeah, I feel like my eye lids are going to stay open forever if I don't sleep."

Kendall yawned, passing it on to James and Carlos. The two sighed after, standing to their feet.

"When's Logan coming back?" Carlos asked curiously as he rubbed the back of his head. Kendall glanced at the time as he shook his head.

"He said he'd probably be out all night, some sort of science project about getting a lot of sleep and a little sleep," Kendall explained, not really entirely sure what Logan's project was actually about. Carlos nodded his head in response as he yawned once more, walking into his room, James already laying in bed.

"Night!"

"G'night!" Kendall replied back as he listened to their bedroom door shut. He sighed as he flipped through the channels, nothing on TV really catching his attention. As he held the remote in hands, almost robotically, his eyes slowly dragged themselves to the wall next to the TV and he smiled a bit as he shook his head. He pressed the power button on the remote, shutting the television off, and stood to his feet. He stretched as he quietly walked into his room, preparing to get some sleep.

"Man, this bed is so comfortable," Kendall mumbled as he lightly fell back on to his bed. He smiled to himself as he pulled the blankets over his body and closed his eyes. He opened an eye after a second, checking the time.

It's already three. I need sleep, he thought as he took a deep breath, releasing it slowly.

After releasing the long breath, the dirty blond found himself thinking of his happiest memories. That's what he always did when he wanted to sleep; it was what brought the good dreams to him. If he ever had a hard time getting to sleep he would always just think of his greatest memory and try to stay positive.

He could feel it; he was so close to falling asleep. He was at the stage of sleep where a person could barely feel the things happening around them and their brains were slowly shutting off for the night. But before he could fall into oblivion, his heart skipped a beat as his eyes snapped open. His entire body stiffened, his ears feeling as if they were trying to press into the sides of his head. He quickly sat up as he took a sharp breath, holding it, as he looked around. He sighed as he quickly stood up and walked carefully to his light switch. He flicked it on and looked at his digital clock.

"Seriously?" he whined to himself as he stared at the time. He snapped his head toward the source of his sudden awakening and narrowed his eyes. He cautiously walked toward the wall right across from his bed and leaned his head against it, trying to listen as best as he could. His eyes widened as he realized where the noise was coming from.

"Ah, I had no idea being this annoying could be so refreshing!"

Jayne chuckled to herself as she leaned against her headboard and smiled. She kept her earplugs in, though she could still gently hear the metal music she had looked up on youtube playing. She smirked to herself as she laughed a bit.

"So, this is what happens when I act like a jerk."

Kendall shook his head as he walked out of his apartment, the loud rock music still able to be heard from even the hallway. He sighed as he tried to get rid of the annoyed expression he knew he was wearing; he didn't want to give his next door pain the satisfaction. He stood in front of 2H for a second, his hand ready to knock. He frowned as he found himself hesitating.

"Just do it or else you're never going to get sleep," Kendall muttered as he sighed.

'Five, four, three, two-'

Knock Knock

"One."

Jayne smiled rather happily as she pulled her front door open, meeting a pair of tired looking green eyes.

"Oh, what a surprise!" Jayne said; she was obviously being very sarcastic.

Kendall released a fake laugh as he leaned against Jayne's doorframe.

"Isn't it though?" he asked a bit sarcastically as he smiled, though anyone could see just how tired/exasperated he was.

The brunette continued to smile, the loud music that she hated so much still playing in the background. She crossed her arms as her smile quickly turned into a smirk, which almost made Kendall smirk back, had he not been so tired.

"Is there something bothering you?" Jayne finally asked as Kendall gave the girl a knowing look. The lean neighbor kept her act up as Kendall continued to give the girl the knowing gaze. Neither were willing to back down from the other; they had too much a pride to do something like that, especially when the two knew that deep down inside, they were at war for something so extremely petty.

"…Oh! Are you talking about the music?" she asked curiously as Kendall nodded his head, going along with the girl's act. "I'm sorry, is it bothering you?"

"As crazy as it is, yeah," Kendall replied back as Jayne tried not to laugh.

"Gosh, I'm terribly sorry! I had no idea!"

"It's strange, I never would have thought a goody two-shoes like you would listen to this kind of music."

Caught off guard by the comment, Jayne blinked as she stared at Kendall with wide eyes. Her brows furrowed inward as she gave the dirty blond an accusing look. "What did you just call me?"

"Should I repeat that for you?" Kendall retorted back, his usual kind attitude replaced with a full on annoyed one.

"You have no idea who I am, so I suggest you keep your rude comments to yourself!" Jayne snapped as she glared at the boy in her doorway.

"And how does it feel, to have a taste of your own medicine?"

"I didn't know we were back in third grade again."

"Ergh! You are seriously so….so…"

"So what?"

"Infuriating!" Jayne exclaimed as the two participated in their own glaring contest. After a full minute or two, both teenagers looked away, too irritated with the other to continue looking at them. They barely knew each other for a day and already they didn't like the other.

How were they going to survive as neighbors?

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave now," Jayne simply stated as she watched Kendall stand up from the doorframe, though he didn't move any more than that.

"Strange," he started, catching the blue eyed girl's attention. "I never would've thought you were such a brat from when we first met."

Jayne's eyes widened as she gave the blond an extremely confused expression.

"We-We've met?"

Kendall smirked as he slowly turned and began to walk toward his room. "Goodnight!"

"W-Wait!" Jayne quickly stepped out of her home, but was too late. She watched as Kendall walked into his home without a second glance, the door shutting quietly behind him. She blinked a few times, trying to recall all of her memories since staying at the Palm Woods. She placed her hand thoughtfully on her chin as she stood in the empty hallway for a second. After a minute of pondering, the girl gave up, glaring in Kendall's direction.

"Ugh! That good for nothing jerk!"
