Here it is, Chapter thirteen. I've decided to go to Kendall's Point of View! Surprise! And you all thought you were gonna go back to Dani…think again!

I am SO SORRY it's been forever since I updated- as TazzyWazzy mentioned, severe writer's block. I'm kind of…I AM SO SORRY TO TELL YOU GUYS THIS…losing interest in Big Time Rush. I'm trying to get back into it, though, and take a break from my Justin Bieber/Smosh/Charlie Puth addiction. I'm such a crazy individual. I love you guys, really, and this story.

I will stay dedicated, though! This one's for you guys! Happy V-Day, too.

ChapterThirteen

All I have to do is watch her sleep.

As soon as Dani flopped down into my bed and closed her eyes I sighed, running a frustrated hand through my hair. What the hell was James thinking? I took off my shirt and joined her on the bed.

"I'm really tired. Sorry," she apologized. I shrugged to the complete darkness.

"Don't worry about it. Hold still….I'm gonna move you real quick here." I picked her up as gently as I could and put her on the other side, watching her eyes not open at all. I knew she was tired and smiled, opening the sheets and slipping her under.

"You are the best," she sighed, rolling so her back was facing me. I slid into bed as well and smiled, looking up at the blank ceiling.

"Nah. You're the best," I answered. "I wanna ask you something, though." I felt the bed move a little as she rolled over to face me. Her brown eyes stared right into mine.

"What is it?"

"I want to know….if there's something going on between you and James." I saw her gulp and suddenly her eyes weren't meeting mine anymore- in fact, they were avoiding mine.

"No," she answered. "There's nothing."

"Good," I smiled. "Because, you might not know this, but I kind of like you." She grinned and hit me in the head gently with a loose pillow.

"I kind of got that, dear boyfriend of mine." I heard her giggle and I closed my eyes, enjoying the sound and letting it wash over me. I was pretty convinced there wasn't a greater sound on the entire earth.

I felt her hand reach down and grab mine, and I squeezed it gently. "You know, Dani, I'm really glad you got lost in Hollywood."

"Well, I'm really glad you didn't think I was some weird girl who didn't like starbucks and was obsessed with your brother," she replied.

"Which you still are," I pointed out.

"Yes, which I still am. Speaking of which, when can I meet him?"

"I'll have to ask, but I'm sure we can meet up soon."

"Good. I'm probably his number one fan." I grabbed the pillow that she used to hit me and used it to hit her. "What? Are ya jealous?"

"Maybe just a little," I replied, trying to sound hurt.

"Well, how can we fix that?" she asked. I let go of her hand and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her tightly to me.

"There's always this," I answered. I saw her smile through the dim light of my alarm clock and her face neared mine.

"And while we're at it, there's this too." Her lips pressed against mine earnestly. I let myself go and, without restraint, kissed her back. Our mouths moved in perfect sync, and while her eyes stayed closed I kept mine open, watching her every move. Sure, I didn't know Dani as well as Erin did, and we'd only really been dating for less than a day, but I really, really liked her. Dare I say those three words?

I loved her.

Even though I couldn't say them out loud, they were there, and that's all that mattered anyways. I pulled away and smiled, watching her eyes finally open and her lips curve up in a stunning smile.

"Don't you think it's time for you to sleep yet?" I challenged, grinning.

"Yeah. You are pretty boring." She closed her eyes and started to snore loudly and obnoxiously. I laughed into my pillow, trying not to wake any of the guys up, and listened to her snores turn into soft laughter.

"I hope you didn't wake James up…you already experienced his anger about that," I laughed.

"Ah, what do I care?" she said.

"Well….he seemed to care today." She sat up and looked me straight in the eye.

"I don't like James like that. I like you like that."

"I'm just asking, Dani." Her expression wavered between anger and guilt. Guilt…? "I just want to know that I can trust you, Dani."

"Y-….you can trust me," she said slowly.

I smiled, looking into her beautiful green eyes. "I know. It's just James I don't trust- he usually gets the girls first. I'm sure you knew that, though."

"I did." She finally smiled and laid down next to me. I put an arm around her waist and pulled her in close. Her face rested just under my chin and I could smell sweet flowers and soap and….just the smell of Dani. There wasn't anything better in the world. I closed my eyes and, feeling like there was absolutely nothing wrong in my world, fell asleep.

"KENDALL!" shouted a loud voice outside my room. I stirred, looking over to see Dani resting peacefully.

"What?" I answered sleepily.

"Where's Carlos and Erin?" yelled the voice. I stood quickly, the blood rushing to my head, and opened the door. Logan's worried face greeted mine and he rubbed his temples. "I saw them on the couch last night, and now they're gone. Literally, gone."

"I'm sure they're fine, calm down," I chuckled. "They couldn't have gone that far."

"THEY COULD HAVE FLOWN TO TIMBUKTU FOR ALL WE KNOW!" he shouted again, raising his arms in the air. I winced at the loud sound and looked up to see James standing on the balcony.

"Seriously, Logan, when did you miss the memo about me needing sleep?" he said angrily, walking down the stairs. "What are you hyping out about now?"

"Carlos and Erin are missing." James raised his eyebrows and looked at me.

"Where's Dani?" he asked. Just as he said that Dani walked out and crossed her arms over her chest. She was only wearing a thin tank top, and I knew we were all staring at her. Well, I hoped I was the only one really staring at her.

"What's wrong? You guys are louder than elephants?" she started, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

"Carlos and Erin are gone, for the millionth time," Logan sighed. Dani just shrugged.

"They're fine, geez Logan. Why are you so worked up about it?"

"Because last night I heard some really weird noises, but I thought….it was just you two," he blushed. Taking the hint I looked away and saw Dani was doing the same.

"It wasn't us," I told him. "What kind of noises?"

"As in…tons of thumps, maybe a small-ish scream?"

"You heard a scream and you didn't do anything about it?" James asked angrily.

"Well I didn't know! I'm sorry!" Logan said.

"Calm down," Dani said. "Deep breath. We'll find them. Now, where did you hear all this commotion at, Logan?"

He thought for a moment, then went over to the porch. We stepped out onto it and looked out to the pool area. They weren't there.

"This is so weird," Dani whispered. "It's nothing like Erin."

"What if they snuck away to do…things?" James asked, waggling his eyebrows. I slapped his shoulder and rolled my eyes.

"Get your mind out of the gutter. We've gotta start looking for them, right now," I said seriously. "Everyone get ready and let's get going."

So, a cliffhanger! What happened to Erin and Carlos? Are they okay? Did they get fan-napped, Donny-napped, or have they just run away for a little alone time? And why is James always thinking of such naughty things? Guess you'll find out next time!

Oh yes, and a Happy Valentine's Day to you all. Especially to Mr. Kendall Schmidt, and if he really ever does read this, I'd really love to meet you someday. We all would.
