So here's Chapter 12! Thank you to everyone who's been reading,Ii really appreciate it, and thank you those of you who review. I really appreciate that too. Just to clear something up quickly, the end of the last Chapter wasn't from the first episode. James' fantasy thing happens a lot and that was Elle's first time seeing it. It'll be a few more chapters before the first episode.
Disclaimer: Still don't own Big Time Rush. Just Elle and her family and my plot.
Chapter 12:
Eventually, we got James and Carlos off each other and we all ate dinner and watched a movie. Around 8:30James, Carlos, and Logan ended up going home, Katie went in her room to watch TV, and Mrs. Knight went to her night job at a local diner, leaving Kendall and I sitting on the couch finishing Spiderman 2.
"I have to say, this one's way better than the first one." I commented.
"Shusshhh! It's not over yet!" Kendall hissed in a childish voice as he watched the movie intently. There was only about 3 and a half minutes left and he'd seen the movie a million times, I don't see the need for me being quiet. I crossed my arms and leaned back on the couch for the last 3 minutes.
"Can I speak now?" I asked as the credits started to roll.
"Yes, you may speak." he as he picked up the empty popcorn bowl.
"The first movie sucks compared to that one." I said. Kendall glared at me and threw a popcorn seed at me as we walked into the kitchen.
"That is the biggest lie in the history of lies." He said as if I had offended him. What a nerd.
"No, the biggest lie in the world is this. I have a giant bubblegum pink duck that I ride to school every day. Carlos and I are long lost cousins and he has a cotton candy blue giant duck. Every night we meet up with our ducks and go to the end of rainbows to collect gold. Because of this habit, we're actually very rich but we hide it so if we ever need to we can go back to our home planet of krypton." I said. "Oh, and the people you think are our families are actually robots programed to spy on the human race so we can show our people what it's like on this planet you call earth." Kendall jaw dropped and I laughed.
"Okay, you're right, that's definitely the biggest lie in the world, but the first movie is definitely better than the second one." Kendall said.
"Whatever you say Spidey." I said with a roll of my eyes as I jumped up on the counter by the sink.
"You know Elle, it's really sad that I'm still taller than you even when you're sitting on the counter." Kendall laughed as he rinsed out the popcorn bowl and put it in the dishwasher. I grabbed the sprayer on the sink when he was turned around and aimed it at him.
"Mock my height one more time Knight." I challenged, my hand on the faucet, ready to turn on the water. Kendall grabbed the bottle of dish soap and pointed it at me.
"Okay Shorty." He said with a smirk. "How's the weather down there? Care not to step in any puddles if it rains, you might drown." I glared at him and turned the faucet, spraying his shirt with water. I grinned in satisfaction. He glared at me and tried squirting soap at me but I ran and he got the cabinet instead. I ran to the back door and stopped around the corner. Kendall ran out after me and looked around. I jumped out and pushed him into the snow, unfortunately, he grabbed me and pulled me into the snow with him, causing both of us to roll down the hill in his back yard. When we stopped rolling we both laid there laughing.
"You alright?" Kendall asked through his laughter. I nodded and laughed.
"Yeah, you?" I asked. He nodded too and I laid my head back in the snow. "You gonna get up?" I asked Kendall. He hadn't even realized that he was laying on top of me.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry." He said pushing himself up and holding a hand out for me. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up.
"It's fine." I said looking up at him. "Wanna go back inside? It's kinda cold and snowy out here." Kendall shrugged.
"I think it's nice out." He said. I laughed.
"Nice? It's like 12 degrees out here." I told him.
"You're also used to slightly warmer winters with a lot less snow." Kendall said. I shrugged, he was right. "Wanna go for a walk?" He asked.
"Are you aloud to leave Katie here alone?" I asked, knowing full well that according to his mother he couldn't but Katie didn't care.
"You know she doesn't care Ellie." Kendall said rolling his eyes. "Go grab your jacket and I'll let Katie know we're leaving." He said pulling me back into the house. I rolled my eyes and slipped my jacket and my boots back on then waited at the door for Kendall. A minute later he walked out of Katie's room and walked over to me. "Let's go." He said as he pulled on a sweatshirt and opened the door. I followed Kendall as we walked out of his house and headed down the street.
"So, why'd you want to drag me outside on this freakishly cold and snowy winter night?" I asked him as we turned the corner, leaving our street.
"I wanted to show you something." He said simply. "And tonight is about as perfect of a night as it gets to show you."
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"Can't tell you." He said shaking his head. "You just have to wait and see." I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest as we walked.
"You know I hate surprises." I told him.
"Yeah, I know, but you'll love this one." He said as he grabbed my hand and led me toward the wood behind someone's house. We walked for a good 10 minutes before he stopped and put his hands over my eyes. "We're pretty much here but you can't see until we get there." He said.
"If this was anyone else, I'd kill them. You know that right." I told him.
"I know." He said. I could tell by his voice he had a giant smirk across his face. We walked a little bit farther and then he stopped me. "Keep your eyes closed." He told me as he uncovered my eyes, and for some weird reason, I did. "Take my hand." He instructed as he grabbed my hand. I held on tightly and he pulled me, lifting me up onto what I'm assuming is a giant rock. He put both hands on my shoulders and turned me to my right the stopped. "Open your eyes." I listened and my mouth dropped.
"This is amazing." I said softly. I didn't know Carlton had a higher elevation than the surrounding towns, but from where we were standing, you could look over the town next to us and the entire lake that was in that town. Not Lake Superior, but a smaller local lake. I smiled as I looked at the scene, the snow was making everything sparkle, the sky was clear as can be, all the stars visible along with the full moon. "How do you know about this place?" I asked. Kendall shrugged.
"My mom used to bring me and Katie here when we were little. It was where she would go to think and she showed us where it was so it could be our spot." He explained.
"Why bring me here then if it's your spot?" I asked curiously.
"I really have no clue." He said with a small laugh. "Just so you can have a small little spot away from everyone I guess. No one ever comes here except me. Katie thinks having a special spot where you think is dumb."
"She'll learn to appreciate it." I said as I put my hands in my pockets as best I could, failing at getting my right hand in my pocket sue to my cast. Kendall walked over to me and grabbed my hand in both of his and breathing on it to warm it up. "Weirdo." I mumbled.
"Is your hand still cold?" he asked.
"No." I said. He gave me a smug look.
"Don't call me a weirdo then." He said. I rolled my eyes and pulled my hand away.
"So, you've never brought anyone here? Not even the guys?" I asked. Kendall shook his head.
"Nope, just you." He said rocking on his heals.
"So this isn't one of those stupid things guys do where they bring a girl to a 'special spot' and try to get them to fall for them, even though the spot isn't special at all because they bring every girl they meet there?" I laughed.
"Elle, you've made it clear that you're not in a part of your life where you want to date anyone. I respect that and I'm not going to try anything anymore unless you tell me to." He said sincerely. I smiled a little. Why can't all guys be like him?
"Thank you Kendall." I said softly. He smiled and nodded.
"My mother raised me to respect what a woman wants. I'm not going to push my luck and end up losing you as my friend. I care about you way too much." He said. I smiled as I looked up him. There wasn't a trace of dishonesty in his eyes. "What are you looking at?" He laughed. I shrugged.
"Your eyes." I said simply. "They make you an open book. You don't have any secrets. If you lie, you can see it in your eyes, whether its a tiny little white lie or not. And if you're telling the truth, you can instantly tell if you look at your eyes" I told him.
"So that's why I always lose when the guys and I play poker." He joked.
"It's a good quality." I said with a smile.
"What can I say, I wear my heart on my sleeve." He shrugged.
"Well don't ever change that. Not many people are like that. It's a rare quality and it's one of my favorite things about you." I told him as I stood on my toes to give him a kiss on the cheek. As I was pulling away I stopped, looking in his eyes.
"What?" He laughed. I shrugged and smiled before I leaned forward and kissed him. He stood there for a second in shock but he kissed me back. He slid his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I smiled as he did that and wrapped my arms around his neck. He smiled as we kissed but pulled away, he didn't move his arms from my waist though.
"What was that for?" He asked. I smiled at the giant grin on his face and shrugged.
"Couldn't tell you if I wanted to." I told him, still smiling. Kendall rolled his eyes and smiled at me. "Wanna go back to your house?" I asked. Kendall nodded, kissed the top of my head quickly then jumped down from the rock we were standing on. He held out his hands to help me down without hurting myself. I took his hand and jumped down carefully. Kendall and I started walking back to his house hand in hand. Neither of us able to stop smiling until Kendall stopped walking and turned to me.
"You're not gonna avoid me and not talk to me again now, right?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Not a chance." I assured him. Kendall nodded and we started walking again. We stopped at Kendall's house to grab my crutches and then Kendall walked me back over to my house. I stopped on the porch before I went inside. "I'll see you in the morning?" Kendall smiled and nodded.
"Don't you always?" He laughed. I shrugged. "You're not walking to school though." I rolled my eyes.
"Just meet me here when you're ready to leave and I'll drive us to school." I told him.
"Night Elle." He said as he hugged me and kissed the top of my head. I smiled and hugged him back.
"Night Kendall." I said before I walked into my house.
