"If you look at my heart, you'll know from the start that it's all I can do not to think about you."

A bright morning began to wake the tenants of the Palm Woods, many eager teens who wanted to be famous starting to go through their morning routines. A pair of dark brown eyes slowly began to flutter open as they glanced around the well decorated room. A sigh filled the silence as a groan followed after it. Jayne yawned as she stretched, staring at her ceiling for a few minutes. She was trying to will herself to get up for the day, but something was holding her back. Perhaps it was the fact that she was on a break from going to the studio or because her usually loud neighbors were now gone for the weekend.

It's shocking. I actually got eight hours of sleep last night, Jayne said to herself as she tried to seem happy about it; she surprisingly wasn't.

Somehow, everything seemed to be a bit more dull without having her crazy friends around to keep her day busy. Seeing as she had no practice or prior engagements, it would be a weekend where she would spend hours hanging out over at the neighbors place. She would be doing that if it hadn't been for the fact that the boys had taken the weekend to go back to Minnesota.

Carlos' grandmother was turning eighty so the Latino singer wanted to go celebrate with the older woman in person. Since the band didn't have any scheduled practices that weekend because Griffin had been quite impressed with their work lately, they thought it would be a nice way to relax and spend time with people at home. When Jayne had heard that news, she just smiled and nodded, making a birthday card for the old lady. She sent the boys off with a smirk, thinking that she would finally be able to have alone time and relax for a bit, but when she awoke that morning, she realized just how much she regretted thinking that way before.

"Well, good morning, sleepy head," Jayne heard her aunt say with a smile as she tiredly glanced at the woman, nodding a 'good morning' of her own. The young woman raised a brow at her niece's behavior as she walked over, placing the back of her hand on the brunette's forehead.

"You're not sick?"

Jayne rolled her eyes as she swatted her chaperone's hand away, making her way toward the fridge to find herself a bit of something to eat for the morning. She opened it and frowned, finding it almost empty. She looked up at the person who was in charge of that, the woman giving her a sheepish smile.

"Ehem, well I'm going to go to the grocery store…do you need anything?"

"How about some food to survive off of?" Jayne snapped as she crossed her arms, tapping her foot against the floor. Claire rolled her eyes as she grabbed her purse, making her way out the door.

"Alright, alright, princess. Jeez, so demanding!"

The brunette laughed as she shook her head, waving goodbye to her aunt as the woman waved back, closing the door behind her. The young girl sighed as she ignored her grumbling stomach, deciding to watch some TV before her aunt returned home. She plopped down on to her usual seat and flipped the television on, and smiled as a cartoon appeared on the screen.

"It's that show the guys like, what's it called?" she asked herself as she thought for a second. She chuckled as she remembered the name, shaking her head.

"Such strange boys."

"Carlos! Boys! Lunch is ready!"

"Coming!"

The four singers of Big Time Rush sprinted back into the house after playing a quick game of street hockey. It had been nice for the boys to get back to their roots, their skills and talents still as sharp as they had been before they left for L.A. The guys threw their sweaters off, easily readjusting to the temperature changes, and stomped through the cozy house Carlos' family owned. They all cheered as they stared down at the Mexican feast that had been laid out before them.

"Carlos, you know that your grandmother's birthday is tomorrow?"

"Yeah, ma! That's why I came back!" Carlos called out before he began to stuff his mouth, the other boys joining him in a much neater fashion. The mother of the tan boy shook her head as she wiped her hands on her towel, leaning calmly against the counter top.

"So, boys, tell me. How's everything going with your music?" she asked curiously.

"It's going really great," Logan stated with a smile as James nodded, suddenly whipping his mirror out.

"Soon enough, we're going to be megastars and then I'm going to finally ask Nicole Scherzinger to marry me."

"That's still not happening," the three other boys said simultaneously. James choosing to ignore his friends, continued to make sure his hair was perfect to a 'T'.

"Have you boys made new friends?" the woman asked, hoping their lives hadn't been too hectic since they up and moved to such a new place on such short notice. The young men nodded their heads happily.

"Actually, we've made a ton of friends!" Carlos interjected, trying to keep from spitting any food out; that would just be a waste.

"Tell me about them, baby boy!" his mother said happily as she decided to take a seat next to her son at the table.

"Well, there's Camille."

"Yeah, Logie, tell her about Camille," Kendall joked as said genius coughed, choking a bit on his food as he threw the dirty blond a quick glare, turning and smiling weakly at Carlos' mother. She raised a brow, becoming a bit more interested in what the boys had to say about L.A.

"She's just this girl I kind of dated," Logan said, trying to hide the blush that was beginning to creep up on his cheeks. "She's super cool, kind of crazy, but really cool," he said with a smile, Carlos' mother smiling at the expression on the boy's face. Suddenly, it contorted, a more anxious expression falling on his face.

"Please don't tell my parents!" Everyone laughed as Logan sighed, shaking his head.

"Anyone else?"

"There's Jayne, our next door neighbor," Kendall said as he took the last bite of his lunch, releasing a satisfied sigh after taking a sip of his drink.

"Jayne?"

"Yeah, she lives in the next apartment room over," the dirty blond explained as the mother of many nodded her head. The leader of the four began to break into a long description of the girl, and though Carlos and James just nodded a long, adding in their two cents every now and then, Logan watched his best friend intently, his brow raised a slight bit. He bit his tongue, deciding to disregard the rather animated look on the blonde's face as he continued to talk about their good friend.

"Isn't that right, Logie?"

Said boy blinked before he quickly shook his head, smiling and nodding. Hopefully it hadn't been too obvious that he had not really been 100% into the conversation.

"Yup!"

"Oh my goodness!" a lifeless voice shouted out, boredom audible in the tone of the phrase. A sigh followed after as the brunette of room 2H groaned, laying limply on the couch, the remote hanging loosely in her hand.

After spending a good hour of searching for something to watch, Jayne had realized that she would probably not be finding anything to watch for the rest of the day. She regretfully gave up trying to find something to entertain her on the television screen and sighed, closing her eyes. Her aunt was still absent and the hotel seemed empty of any living people, which surprised the girl a bit.

"This cannot go on any longer!" she snapped to herself as she quickly sat up, hoping that would somehow give her an idea to do something. "Where are those freaks when you need them?" the dancer whined as she stood to her feet, making her way toward her bedroom. She flopped on to her bed as she pulled her laptop out.

"I wonder what Kendall's doing-" she stopped as she raised an eyebrow, sitting up straight. She had meant to reference to all of the boys, but somehow the only name that had came out of her mouth was the dirty blond of the group. She hadn't meant to ask about him, actually, he was the last thing on her mind.

No, that was a lie.

"What is wrong with you?" Jayne snapped to herself as she slapped herself lightly on the forehead. She shook her head as she logged on to her computer, deciding to occupy herself with a game of Tetris; it was better than doing nothing. As she began to lock herself into an enthralling match, she shook her head.

If Kendall was here-why do I keep mentioning him? Jayne stopped playing, letting herself die at level five, as she frowned at her random thoughts of the singer. She stood up, slipping her flip-flops on, and made her way out of her home, deciding that perhaps a walk in the park could help her clear her head a bit. You need to stop thinking about him or at least think about the other guys too. Then again, Kendall and I are the closest out of the group, she thought as she made her way to the staircase, deciding that the more she walked, the more it would help her think clearly.

Though she hadn't noticed it until that moment, it was almost alarming to the girl how much she actually thought about her good friend. If she wasn't with him, she was wondering how his day was going or wondering about what he was doing. If she was with him it was like nothing else mattered. No one else existed when the two were together, and everything just seemed to be perfectly in place. She couldn't get a grasp on why. The concept seemed a bit ridiculous to her.

Reaching the lobby, Jayne quickly made her way to the pool, noticing the emptiness of the area. She waved a hello to Guitar Dude as he gave her a wide smile, giving her a casual wave. She sighed, sitting at the edge of the pool and dipping her feet into the cool water.

Now that I think about it, why do I get along with Kendall better than I do with the other guys? she asked herself as she thought deeply about the question.

It was true. Compared to the other guys, Jayne's relationship with the leader of Big Time Rush was much stronger than any of her relationships with the other three boys. She never went out of her way to hangout with the other guys, unless it was with all four of them together. She and Kendall, on the other hand, hung out multiple times alone. In fact, the green eyed wonder had made it a habit to just walk into her apartment whenever he was free, knowing that it would be unlocked. That's how comfortable they had become with the other's presence.

"Is that normal?" the young dancer asked herself curiously as she dipped her arm into the water, enjoying how it felt against the warm day.

Though it was already far into September, the heat of the day didn't miss a beat. It was still as warm as ever, and the sun continued its duty to sit in the sky, lighting up the day. The coldest it ever got was during the evening, and even then it wasn't so bad. All one needed to fight off the chill was a sweater or thin jacket. There was no need to bring out the heavy duty apparel, not yet at least.

"Well, I guess it is kind of normal," Jayne mumbled to herself as she pulled her arm out of the water, shaking off as much water as she possibly could. "He was my very first real friend that was a boy," she defended to herself as she nodded, liking the answer she had given herself. Sighing, the brunette leaned back against her hands, kicking a bit of water into the air with a bored expression on her face.

"I wonder what they're all up to right now."

"Ah! Feels good to be back out on the ice!"

"You got that right!"

Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and James all got up early that Saturday morning because they had been planning to finish out the things they wanted to do before Carlos' grandmother's birthday party. Their afternoon was booked for them. Seeing as they were young, healthy, and strong enough to help set the decorations up for the festivities, the only time they had was in the morning. They had all decided to get up early enough to give themselves at least two and a half hours at the ice rink so they could spend some time where their real roots were.

"Yo! Carlitos," James called out as said friend looked over at him with a questioning look. "You up for a little race? Lets see who still has it!" James called out playfully as Carlos grinned, pulling his helmet on and giving it a lucky slap.

"Alright, but if you lose you can't cry about it!"

"Oh, I won't. Because I'm going to win," James countered as the other two boys laughed, watching as the two got into a position. Logan skated up in between the two as he smirked at them, holding his arms up.

"Ready, set…GO!" He whipped his arms down and watched as the two skaters wisped away without a glance back. The other two watched with smiles as they went on to continue their five lap race.

"Glad to know things seem to be the same around here," Kendall stated with a soft smile, Logan nodding in agreement.

"It really is," the dark haired boy stated as he smiled, enjoying the slight numbness his cheeks received from the arena.

"Man, I bet you Jayne would love this place," the dirty blond stated, catching Logan a bit off guard. Keeping his composure, the tenor nodded as he smiled, agreeing with his friend.

"Didn't she say she liked to ice skate?" Logan asked as Kendall nodded with a wide smile.

"Yup, and I think hockey's growing on her faster than she thinks," the blond joked as he chuckled at the thought. He sighed as he and Logan skated at a rather casual pace, James and Carlos neck to neck as they zoomed past the two.

"...Hey, Kendall?" Logan suddenly called, catching the blond's attention. He raised a big brow as Logan hesitated, a nervous expression on his face.

"What's up?" he asked, the genius biting his tongue for a second. He smiled as he shook his head.

"We should try finding an ice rink back in L.A. and go sometime with everyone," he suggested, Kendall grinning at the idea.

"Another reason why you're a genius!" Kendall applauded as he gave his friend a pat on the back. Logan sighed as he watched the taller teen skate off, joining James and Carlos in their race. He shook his head as he skated faster, deciding if you couldn't beat them, then to join them.

He would save his question for another day.

"Well, well. Look who's in a better mood today!"

"Who says I'm in a better mood?" Jayne walked over to the counter as she grabbed an apple, humming a random tune to herself. Her aunt smirked as she chuckled, watching the girl with an amused look in her eyes.

"This entire weekend you were moping around, and now that it's Sunday you seem to be in a much better mood," the woman pointed out as Jayne thought for a moment before shrugging.

"Not really," she stated as she began to make her way toward the door.

"I'll be at the pool if you need me," she explained as she closed the door, heading toward the elevator. As she stepped out into the lobby, she smiled as she waved at her new companion.

"Hey, Jayne."

"Hello, Camille," the girl said with a smile as the method actress stood from the lobby couch, walking over to her. They made their way out to the pool as they took a random table, the umbrella to it already unfolded before them.

Somehow, the two lonely girls had fallen upon each other, Jayne making her way to the pool and Camille just coming back from an audition. They had almost run into each other and greeted each other with warm smiles. Jayne asked how the audition went, to which Camille just shrugged, saying they just weren't ready for her talent. A couple sudden hours later, the two had found themselves sitting at a restaurant not to far from the hotel, talking about random things. From there till the walk back to the Palm Woods, their friendship somehow blossomed. Perhaps it was the absence of the boys that pulled them closer together, but whatever the case was, Jayne was glad to know she had a friend like Camille.

"You know what?" the wavy haired girl asked as she rested her chin on her hand. Jayne raised a brow as she looked up from the puzzle she had been working on.

"What?"

"I don't know why we didn't hang out sooner," the actress stated as Jayne chuckled and nodded her head, agreeing with the girl.

"You're right. I'm glad we got to this today," she replied back with a smile, Camille throwing her one back.

"Especially since Kendall always talked about you," That caught Jayne's attention with ease.

"He did?" she asked curiously as Camille nodded.

"He always talked about how we should all meet you and how you were pretty cool, and a handful sometimes." Jayne scoffed at that as she rolled her eyes.

"That coming from the boy who does nothing but get himself into trouble," Camille laughed as she nodded her head in agreement, sighing as she glanced at the watch around her wrist.

"Looks like the guys should be coming back soon," she pointed out as Jayne resisted the very strong urge to smile. She stood to her feet as she stretched.

"Well, if that's the case, I'm going to go up and get some quiet time in before the crazies return," she said playfully, Camille laughing at her joke. "Bye, Camille."

"See you later! Don't be surprised if the guys just come barging in on you!" Camille warned humorously as Jayne laughed, waving over her shoulder. As she approached the elevator, she couldn't help but smile widely at the thought of her friends finally coming back to the Palm Woods. She would finally have her source of entertainment back. She had missed the way James always had to look at himself in the mirror, and the way Carlos would sometimes lose his helmet. She also missed the long conversations she would have with Logan, listening to him talk about something rather scientific, and she most of all missed the way Kendall always found a way to make her day a bit bright-

"What?" Jayne stepped into the elevator as she frowned at herself. She pressed the button to her floor as she rolled her eyes, mentally kicking herself for putting Kendall on a higher pedestal than the other boys. She sighed at her idiocy as she decided to push the thought aside. She walked out of the elevator and immediately went to straight to her home, finding a note from her aunt saying that the fridge had finally been restocked and she would be out to dinner with her dance instructor. The girl tossed the note in the trash, going into her room and changing into her sweats and tee-shirt.

"Ah! I can get some dancing in and then meet the guys later," she said to herself as she turned on her next piece, which had been a more modern song. She counted the beats in her head as she made her first dance pose, waiting for another few beats before she began to dance, every movement she made sharp and on point. She smiled, feeling more herself than she had been this entire weekend.

"Palm Woods! We're back!" Carlos exclaimed as his friends laughed.

"Carlos, we were only gone for two days," Logan pointed out as the four hockey players waltzed into the lobby, saying hello to their friends and co-habitants.

"Guys!" the four heard a familiar voice call out.

"Hey, Camille!" the boys greeted as the actress grinned, walking up to them.

"How was Minnesota?" she asked as Carlos began to go into detail about what had happened at his grandmother's birthday party. James joined in as Logan just listened, nodding his head at a comment here or there. As the Latino came to a close on his story, he looked over to Logan's left to make a joke at the dirty blond that should have been standing there.

"Where did Kendall go?" he asked curiously as everyone looked, finding the boy gone. Logan's eyes softened as something in his head clicked. He smiled at the others as he shrugged.

"I have a feeling I know where he went."

"Man, I never thought I would say this, but it's good to be back!"

Green eyes stared out at everything that filled apartment 2J and they shined with happiness. The singer smiled as he set his bags down in his room, immediately making his way out and telling his mother he'd be out for a bit before dinner. The woman merely nodded, watching as her son walked out of their home. Her eyes softened as she glanced over at the wall, knowing exactly where her son was going to be. She shook her head and sighed; she had a feeling that when the chaos unfolded, she'd be ready.

"Yo! Jay-" Kendall stopped as he opened the door to room 2H, already knowing it would be unlocked, and blinked as he listened to the loud music playing, which over powered his voice. He blinked as he watched the only girl in the room dance in the middle of her living room, a wide smile on her face. His eyes softened as he quietly shut the door, not wanting to disturb the girl who seemed to be enjoying herself. He smiled a bit as he leaned back against it, enjoying the little show that Jayne was giving him. He chuckled a bit as Jayne laughed at a part of the dance where she had to jump, spinning a bit into the air. He shook his head, happy that she was enjoying herself.

He had almost forgotten how much he enjoyed spending time with the girl. Not hanging out with her every day or seeing her face at least once a day was something that he never thought he'd go missing, but he did. He missed the way he teased her and the way she would tease him back, sometimes getting irritated at the fact she had nothing to throw back at him. He missed the way she laughed and joked with him, and the way things always just seemed to fall into place when they were together. It was nice knowing he had a friend like her. Though the boys were still number one in his heart (nothing would ever change that), she came to a very close second.

"Kendall?"

He blinked and stood up straight, unfolding his arms, as he noticed the music had stopped and Jayne was looking at him quite shocked. She walked up to him as she wiped a bit of sweat from her forehead, a smile on her face.

"When did you get back?" she asked as she walked to the fridge, grabbing two water bottles. She tossed one to her friend, who caught it with ease as he smiled and nodded a thank you to her.

"I got back just few minutes ago. Thanks for the free show, by the way," he joked with a smirk as he plopped down in his rightful spot on the comfy couch. Jayne rolled her eyes as she sat next to him like she always did, opening her bottle and chugging a large amount down. She sighed as she used the back of her hand to wipe her mouth, looking over at the dirty blond with a raised brow.

"Why are you wearing that stupid grin?" she asked suspiciously as Kendall smirked a bit, shaking his head.

"No real reason," he said before thinking for a moment. He smiled as he looked over at his friend. "It's just nice to be back."

"How was Carlos' grandmother's birthday?" Jayne asked curiously as Kendall smiled; he also missed how she seemed to care so much about other people without even noticing.

"It was good." The two sat, listening to each other as they talked about their weekends, and never once did they ever mention about how the other had not left their thoughts once.

Though, in some cases, some things are better left unsaid.
