The Palm Woods
Cecilia is smiling as she walks back into the Palm Woods from her date with Greg. She turns around to see Greg with a smile on his face and he follows her into the apartment building. The lobby is nearly deserted as everybody is either already in their rooms or enjoying a night out on the town. Greg grabs Cecilia's arm suddenly and pulls her into him and looks deep into her eyes. "I can't remember the last time I had this much fun" Greg says as he can't keep the smile from creeping onto his strong features.
Cecilia smiles back at him and murmurs in agreement. "This is the most I have enjoyed myself since the accident" she says automatically turning away from Greg and biting her lower lip. Greg almost drops his arms in shock but instead of saying anything, he pulls her closer and waits for her to explain. All of a sudden the girl Greg is holding is sobbing into his chest and he is gently rubbing her back letting her take her time in composing herself. "I'm sorry Greg, I can't do this right now" as she says that she runs away from Greg. Greg slowly drops his arms to his side as he stares after the swiftly departing girl. He hangs his head as he slowly and sadly makes his way back to room wondering what is wrong this time.
The Palm Woods Pool
Carlos is sitting by the pool strumming on a guitar and stopping every so often to write down the inspiration for a new song. He smiles sadly thinking about the girl who has inspired him and how she isn't talking to him because of his feud with James and Logan. He suddenly stops strumming and writes furiously for a minute or two. He leans back as he finishes the song and starts playing his guitar and singing at the same time.
She keeps the secrets in her eyes
She wraps the truth inside her lies
And just when I can't take what she's done to me
She comes to me
And leads me back to paradise
She's so hard to hold
But I can't let go
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She dances away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles (oh when she smiles.. she smiles..)
Maybe I'd fight it if I could (Maybe I'd fight it if I could)
It hurts so bad, but feels so good
She opens up just like a rose to me
When she's close to me
Anything she asked me to, I would
It's out of control
But I can't let go
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She dances away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
As the last notes fade into the Los Angeles night, Carlos sets his guitar down beside his chair as tears fill his brown eyes. Carlos smiles sadly in regret realizing that this is his way of letting go the first girl he ever loved. He regains his composure and looks up to see Gwen standing there not attempting to fight back her own tears as they fall freely down her face. Carlos stands suddenly when he notices Gwen and says, "I'm sorry Gwen, and I didn't know you were around here, I'll leave." He packs up his guitar and begins to leave the pool area while not looking at Gwen. As he passes her she reaches out an arm and stops him in his tracks.
"That was Beautiful Carlos but did you right it for me or for your girlfriend back in Minnesota?" Gwen asks looking at him questioningly. Carlos doesn't respond but points directly at Gwen. She grabs Carlos impulsively and hugs him tightly. He responds by returning the hug tenfold. They stay embraced like that for quite some time until a noise in the lobby gets their attention and they pull apart. They see a couple of uniformed policemen make their way up the stairs so they head to the lobby to investigate what all the commotion is.
They don't have to wait long as they are astounded to see Carlos's band mate Kendall being led through the lobby in handcuffs. Carlos and Gwen rush over to try and see if there is anything that they can do to try and keep their friend out of jail. Kendall looks worse for the wear like he tried to fight back but was finally subdued. The boy in handcuffs refuses to say anything to his friends because the cops have already read him his Miranda rights. Soon the other two members of Big Time Rush along with Katie appear in the lobby waking Bitters out of his slumber. Bitters comes out of his office and joins the growing throng of people in the lobby.
The cops nod to each other and one takes Kendall out to the waiting squad car as the cherries throw red and blue lights on the building as the other stays inside and tries to perform crowd control in the lobby. After a deluge of questions from the shocked inhabitants of the Palm Woods apartment complex the officer finally gets a chance to speak. "A warrant was issued for one Kendall Knight by Judge Sterling this morning. I cannot comment on any of the charges pending on young Mr. Knight because there is an on-going investigation. If you have any more questions, comments, or concerns feel free to come down to the police station in the morning when we will hopefully have more news for you." He finishes up in the lobby and joins his partner outside in the patrol car and they pull away from the Palm Woods, taking a defiant looking Kendall Knight with them. Bitters ushers everybody out of his lobby and back to their rooms. Most people turn to Katie to get an answer but she just mumbles something about checking on her mother who fainted whether three members of Big Time Rush just look at each other and shake their heads wondering what to do next.
