ChapterTen
Lady Gaga, I don't care what you say, there's nothing good about the Paparazzi. Oh, and Kendall and I may be dating.

I squinted into the crowd, recognizing Kendall's face among the several that looked familiar. I put my phone back into my pocket and waved at him. He didn't look very happy, especially when a bunch of girls cut him off, asking for his autograph and holding up their iPhones to get pictures with the ever-famous Kendall Schmidt. I felt a tap at my shoulder and saw Lucas, who was grinning widely at me. God, he was so effin' cute!
"Sorry," he said as a slow song came on. He wrapped his arms around my waist and mine went around his shoulders. "I had a few people that I had to say hello to."
"It's okay," I laughed. We danced to the cute slow song, but my eyes kept darting around for Kendall. It would feel so much more right if it were him I was dancing with. I felt like a Hollywood ho for being with Justin Bieber and Lucas today.
"So, tell me more about you, Dani."
"Well, I live in Michigan…I enjoy long walks on the beach and writing romantic poetry…that was just a joke…," I told him, and he laughed.
"That's great," he smiled. "And what do you do in your spare time?"
"Oh you know…make crappy YouTube movies, watch your crappy YouTube videos…."
"You're nice!" he said, poking my nose. I giggled.
"I'm just kidding. I really just go to school, like any normal kid, and go hunting, like any normal kid from the thumb of Michigan."
"That's cool." Bizarrely enough, everyone around us was kissing. The pressure was on to do like everyone else was. I knew Lucas's mouth was coming close to mine; great, first James, NOW Lucas? When could I kiss Kendall? So I knew what I had to do. I turned my head to the side, so he kissed my cheek instead. He looked at me funny and frowned.
"I can't do this, Lucas," I said sadly, looking down at the ground. "There's….kinda someone else."
"Kinda?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah…listen, I'm really sorry, really," I started, but then Kendall walked up, splitting us apart the harsh way. He yanked me right off of Lucas and I was thrust backwards into a couple who were really getting into it.
"What are you DOING?" he yelled in Lucas' face. Lucas didn't flinch though; he stood his ground.
"You're Dani's boyfriend, aren't you?" he asked, brushing off his arms.
"I might as well be," Kendall said, narrowing his eyes. I blushed bad. "Don't ever touch her again. Don't talk to her. Just….don't even look at her! Got that, Crukishank?"
"We didn't do anything," I explained, walking up to him. "Kendall, you can't just jump to conclusions like this-"
"-Dani, just STOP!" He shouted in my face. "You KNOW what you were doing!"
"Don't yell at her!" Lucas shouted back at him. Kendall's attention turned to Lucas, and suddenly cameras went flashing all around us. I had created the worst case scenario possible- getting both Kendall Schmidt and Lucas Cruikshank into the tabloids and probably gossip magazines everywhere. Tears welled up in my eyes and I looked at Kendall, whose gaze was beginning to soften.
"Dani, I-" he started, but I shook my head and smiled sadly.
"This was never going to work out anyways, Kendall," I said, forcing myself to walk away. I gave Lucas one last glance, who was looking very hurt, and Kendall, who looked like he wanted to die, then backed away into the crowd of reporters.
"-Who are you? What is your connection to both Lucas and Kendall?" one asked, pushing the microphone in my face.
"I have no connection to either. I just happened to be here," I whispered into the microphone, tears finding their way down my cheek. "I'm no one important. Please forget about me." With that the reporters slowly stopped taking pictures and asking questions and parted the way for me to walk out of the premiere with only a little bit of pride yet. I continued to walk down the streets of Hollywood when I heard footsteps falling quickly behind me. Thinking it was another reporter I turned around, my eyes now rimmed red from crying, and gave them the nastiest look ever. To my surprise it was Kendall, out of breath and with matching rimmed red eyes. He had been crying as well?
"Dani, w-wait," he said, breathless.
"Wait for what? For me to just cause more problems?" I asked.
"That's not what I was going to say. You're putting words in my mouth," he replied quickly. "Dani I don't want you to leave like this."
"Kendall, I gotta do something. You're going to be in every tabloid and Big Time Rush will be getting a lot of unwanted attention. Maybe….I should just disappear. For a while," I said sadly. "So that nothing will happen to you. Or Lucas."
"Of course you drag in Lucas," he said angrily, throwing his hands into the air. "Why were you even there with him?"
"Kendall, he's a nice guy, but he's not exactly you," I said honestly. "I was just being nice and friendly. Okay?"
"That doesn't explain why he was making out with you," he retorted harshly. People were beginning to stop and stare.
"We weren't making out- he kissed my cheek," I explained. "That's a totally different story. I think it's just best if….you just forget I was even here in Hollywood, okay? Just like you to did Jo in that episode. Except this time, don't tell me you can't, because you can."
"No, I can't," he said. "Dani, you don't get it- I've liked you ever since I saw you at Starbucks. I could care less about the reporters that might be stalking us, or what people think, and…and I can even forget about Lucas and how much he obviously liked you." He sighed, looking right into my eyes. "I just don't want to see you with anyone else but me."
I was breathless. Kendall Schmidt, famous pop star and quite possibly the hottest guy in all of Hollywood, wanted to be seen with no one but the girl from little old Michigan? I was definitely dreaming, I agreed- so I pinched my arm. "Ow."
"Ow what?" Kendall chuckled.
"Ow, I'm not dreaming, and you probably meant everything you just said, I assume," I replied, smiling. He smiled back and, in the middle of a ton of traffic and a sudden barrage of cameras and reporters, kissed me right on the lips. It sent a flood of electricity through my veins, especially as he pulled me closer, almost making us one person. The flashes from the camera now looked like fireworks, and the voices melted together as a steady hum that became my quickly beating heart. Time had frozen just for me and Kendall. He finally pulled back and reality sunk in.
"Kendall, is this your new girlfriend?" asked one reporter.
"Yes, she is," he said quickly, causing me to blush. "I'd appreciate if you gave us a little breathing room."
"Kendall, what about Katelyn? Will she be put on the back-burner for this quick and odd romance?" asked another. I narrowed my eyes and suddenly everyone was looking at me.
"Odd? What the hell is odd about any of this?" I said into a microphone. "Geez, can't anyone from Hollywood date anyone normal?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm-," I started when Kendall pulled me away from the group of reporters and into an opening limo. I jumped in and, without thinking, landed right on James' lap. To my horror he just grinned hugely and wrapped his arms around me as if this were natural. And I liked it.
"Hey, beautiful," he started when Kendall pushed me right off his lap and into the empty leather
"Make some room, superstar!" Kendall complained, slamming the door in the reporter's faces. "Holy crap. You alright, Dani? I didn't mean to shove you."
"No, I'm…glad you did," I said, narrowing my eyes at James. "It seems I landed in a sticky pile of hair care products."
"That's real funny," James replied, looking slightly angry but still amused. Suddenly Logan cleared his throat and I looked to see him and Carlos and Erin now sitting across from me.
"ERIN! Thank god. I thought I'd left you there!" I laughed.
"Carlos found me at the party and we jumped right into the limo. Good thing you left when you did- you should have seen all the reporters that showed up!" she exclaimed.
"You should have seen all the ones we ran into," Kendall told them, crawling around James and sitting himself between us. A eerie shiver went up my spine, and I had to wonder if he noticed how James was coming onto me. Did he know about that kiss? More important, how did I feel about that kiss? And another important question…were Kendall and I seriously dating?

Hello, faithful readers! I have decided to take your questions here, at the bottom of the story, so you can pay better attention to them. First, I want to say thank you to my amazing peoples. Second, I have two questions that I wanted to include at the bottom of this story. Reader shout outs will be next chapter.
TazzyWazzy writes, "Because of me you included Jo. How so? And what made you put Shane Dawson in this fanfic?"
Good questions, TazzyWazzy. I'm going to be completely honest, I could care less about Jo, and when I realized what kind of a dramatic factor she could add to the story, I decided to include her. I just didn't see the point until you…well..pointed it out for me. Oh, Shane Dawson, this is a funny one- I decided to put him in this Fanfic because I've never seen him in any stories. He's random, funny, and completely amazing. I hope to include him in future stories. (If any of you readers haven't YouTube'd Shane, DO IT NOW- he's amazingly hilarious.
BananaFreak97 says, "Do you read the stories of the people who review?"
Answer- YES. VERY YES. My readers are usually people who have great stories about the same things I love- BTR! Haha. (Actually, BananaFreak97 has an amazing BTR story called Silver meets Diamond, CHECK THAT SHIZZ OUT!). If any of you amazing readers want ME to check out one of your stories, lemme know- I'd be happy to read!
Well, whaddya think? Of the chapter? Of the romance? What SHOULD happen next! The only way YOU can influence this is to review! Hope to see you next chapter!
