Chapter 22: Music Sounds Better With U/All Over Again
Kendall: Dude, it's been forever.
Me: Sorry. I had school, MPA, and slipping grades. Plus, I had writer's block for a month.
Logan: Well, it's nice to see you again.
Carlos: *hugs me* Hey! What's up?
Me: This story! It took me a month to come up with, so everyone better read it. And, this is you're early Christmas present!
BTR: MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS!

At The Palm Woods
5pm
Normal POV
Carlos sighed as he laid in his bed, thinking.
Why would Jazzy still be wearing the charm bracelet? Does she really still like me?
Still thinking, Carlos quietly fell asleep.
(This is a long dream b/c it's a flashback)
November 16, 2011
Malibu Beach
Jazzmine giggled as Carlos helped her out of the car.
"Why won't you tell me where we're going...or at least let me see where we are."
Carlos smiled. "Because that'll ruin the surprise!" He lead her a few more steps foward.
"Ok, you can take off the blindfold." Jazzmine untied the green bandana and gasped.
The nighttime stars glittered on the blue ocean water. The sandy shore of the beach seemed to shine under the night. A picnic basket was settled under a maple tree with 2 candle holders.
"Carlos...this is amazing." She turned around to see her boyfriend was gone. "Carlos?"
Jazzmine looked at the picnic spot to see that the candles were lit and that a picnic basket mysteriously appeared. She tilted her head, confused.
"What the heck?" Carlos quietly snuck up behind the brunette, picked her up and started to spin.
"AHH! CARLOS, PUT ME DOWN!" She yelled, laughing at the same time. Carlos stop spinning, ran a few feet foward and smiled.
"Your wish is my command." He dropped her in the cold ocean water. She screeched from the sudden rush of cold.
"Carlos, I'm gonna GET YOU FOR THAT!" Before the Latino could run, Jazzy pulled him by his hoodie into the icy water.
"Man, this is cold!" Jazzy smirked and splashed him. "Now you know how I feel."
Carlos splashed Jazzy back, starting a small water fight.
Once they finished, the duo dried off and sat on the picnic blanket and quietly began to eat.
(5 minutes later)
Jazzy noticed Carlos staring at her and blushed.
"Whatch'a staring at, Carlos?" The Latino looked deep into the brunette's chocolate brown eyes.
"Just the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen." Jazzmine looked down at her feet, blushing.
"Also, I got you 2 small surprises." Carlos pulled out a white box to reveal a dozen...
"Chocolate strawberries? How'd you know?" Carlos smiled.
"I remember you stealing them one by one from Mama Knight whenever she made them...when we were kids, anyway." Jazzmine blushed harder, knowing she was caught from her old "thiefing" days.
(One box of chocolate strawberries later)
Jazzy giggled as she finished her last strawberry, which Carlos kindly fed her.
"I definitely think you were right. That strawberry was the best." Carlos helped Jazzy up when suddenly she tripped on the picnic basket, causing her to push them onto the base of the maple tree.
"Sorry. I don't know why I'm really clumsy lately." Jazzy tried to lift herself off Carlos, but the Latino grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back.
He chuckled and leaned closer. "I don't mind. You're cuter when you're clumsy." Jazzmine looked at the ground again.
Carlos lifted her head up and kissed her.
"CARLOS, WAKE UP!" The Latino snapped awake, groaning.
"What do you want, Kendall?" Carlos recognized the blond's voice.
"Well, it's Fish Stick Friday. But if you don't want any, then I'll-" Kendall watched as Carlos flew out of his room and sat at the table.
Later that evening
Jazzmine's POV/ Carlos' POV
"So, when are you and Carlos getting back together?" I coughed up my soda and glared at Samantha, my cheeks turning a bright pink.
"Who said we're getting back together?" I put my soda down, not wanting to choke again.
"You just did." I threw a fish stick at the blue-highlighted brunette. "Shut up, Sam."
Autumn sighed. "Look, it's obvious you still really like him. Just get back together with him."
"And what if we get in another fight? I can't handle any more heartbreaks...even if I only went through one." I sighed, stirring my cherry Coca Cola.
"Carlos, I know it doesn't seem easy, but it's really easy to see what your blind to." I gave Logan a very confused look.
"Umm...huh?" Logan rolled his eyes. "I mean it's obvious that you're in love with her!"
I dropped my tater tot. "Love? I just went through a heartbreak! There's no way I'm in love!"
"Well it's crystal clear that you are 'cause all you think about is her."
I rolled my eyes. "I'm gonna set you on fire in your sleep one of these days Sam."
"Can't. Kinda made of water! You can't set me on fire." Sam gloated.
"But, I can set your clothes on fire." I smirked.
Hailey shook her head. "Tsk tsk. Denial is always before acceptance."
"James, just this morning, you denied being in love with Hailey!" I snapped.
"Ok, ok Carlos. You don't have to admit it. But you're gonna have to tell her sometime." I banged my head on the table.
"If I do, will you all leave me alone?" James, Kendall and Logan smiled.
"YES!"
I shook my head, growling at myself. "Fine! Since you people are so nosy. I've gotta get new friends."
Sam smiled. "You never have and you never will."
I threw at least 8 tater tots at her.
Normal POV
Apartment 2K
The next morning
Jazzmine yawned as she stretched in her bed, knocking KJ* onto the carpeted floor.
She rubbed her eyes and picked up the little bear. "Whatch'a doing on the floor, huh KJ?"
She glanced at the clock; the numbers 7:01 appeared in red lights.
"Huh...I must have been real tired. But, Sam usually wakes me up around 6." The brunette looked at the bed across the room to notice a person sleeping in it.
She quietly moved the covers to reveal a sleeping Samantha. "Sammy, wake up. We got rehearsal today." The brunette shook her taller friend.
Jazzmine got worried when Sam didn't wake up. Sam wasn't that deep a sleeper. I yanked off the covers to see blood.
"HAILEY! AUTUMN! SAMMY CUT HERSELF IN HER SLEEP! HURRY!"
Logan's POV
I yawned as my phone played "My Heart's A Stereo" loudly. Only half awake, I answered the call.
Hello?
Logan, thank god you're up!
Jazz, I was asleep. Why'd you wake me up?
It's Sammy! She-e was b-bleeding and unconscious w-when I w-woke up! I d-don't k-know w-why!
My heart stopped and I couldn't find my voice to speak. I could hear sirens in the distance and the sound seemed to be getting louder.
"Ok, get Sam to the hospital. We'll meet you over there as soon as we can." Jazzmine sniffled.
"O-Ok, bye L-Logie." I hung up the phone and shook Carlos awake.
"W-Wha? Logan, it's..." the Latino rubbed his eyes and glanced at the clock "7 in the morning!"
"Get dressed. Something happened to Sam and she's being taken to the hospital. Wake up James and Kendall as well." Carlos looked at me, concern written on his face.
"Is Jazzy ok...and are you crying?" I wiped the tear tracks off my cheeks. "She sounds scared and...yes, I'm crying."
Carlos patted my shoulder. "You know she'll be ok."
Normal POV
St. John's Hospital
Jazzmine sobbed softly on Hailey's shoulder as the members of BTR walked into the hospital lobby.
Carlos felt tears come to his own eyes as he glanced at the crying brunette. Logan walked over to his sister.
"Hey sis. Is she...okay?" Jazzmine seemed to cry harder.
"I d-don't k-know! T-The doctors *hiccup* w-won't tell m-me anything a-and there was *hiccup* s-so m-much b-b-blood." Logan pulled his sister into a hug as Carlos patted her back.
Doctor Schmidt came out, looking through Sam's file. He glanced at the 7 teens before sighing.
"You're all here for Samantha Gray, correct?" Logan nodded his head.
Dr. Schmidt sighed. "Well, this cut was no accident. She lost 1 pint of blood and we also found pieces of glass in the wound."
Jazzmine seemed to cry harder as Carlos pulled her into a hug. Hailey snuggled under James' bear hug and Autumn ran to the bathroom at the word "blood."
"The cut was only 2 inches, but Samantha seems to have a level 2 hemophilia. It's more severe than Logan's case, which is level one."
Logan pondered in his thoughts for a minute. "She can lose blood twice as fast as I can! That's not good."
The doctor looked at the paperwork. "She'll need a blood transfusion. But, her blood type is AB negative and it's very rare. Only few people have it."
Jazzy wiped her tears and remembered something from a hockey incident. "I t-think...Kendall has that b-blood type."
The girls looked at the blond hockey player, their eyes begging for help.
Kendall's POV (THIS WAS HARD!)
I looked at my friends, who were practically begging me for help in their eyes.
James, Logan and Carlos gave me a look of concern.
I had to be strong, but needles always freaked me out.
I felt a shiver down my spine even at the thought of needles.
"Mr. Knight?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at Dr. Schmidt. "Would you be willing to donate some blood for Sam? She's still losing some blood, but all we need is a pint."
I took a deep breath and nodded my head. Then I felt three pairs of arms hugging me. I looked to see Jazzy, Hailey and Autumn.
"Thanks Kendall." Hailey yelled.
Jazzy just smiled quietly; she looked to scared and worried to say anything.
Autumn held my hand. "Needles freak you out?" I looked at her in shock.
"Wait...I never told you that." She smiled her cute smile at me.
"My little brother was scared of needles too. He looked just as pale as you did even at the thought." I blushed slightly.
Autumn's POV
"Mr. Knight. If you will follow me, we'll get the blood Sam needs quicker than you can say needle." Kendall held my hand a little tighter.
I quietly growled at the doctor.
As Dr Schmidt was preparing for the blood removal (getting a needle and a pint-sized bag) I played with the bracelet on my wrist.
"What up? You seem...quieter than usual." I looked up at Kendall.
"Just worried about Sam, that's all." Kendall smiled. I glanced at his arm, which Dr Schmidt quietly and quickly put the needle in a minute ago.
"Autumn?" I glanced back at the blond hockey player.
"Yeah?" Kendall leaned in and kissed me, catching me by surprise.
"Alright, Kendall. You're all done and you're free to go." I pulled away and looked at Dr Schmidt, who was holding a bag filled with blood.
I blushed, my face turning pink with embarrassment. "T-Thanks."
Later that evening
Normal POV
"Well, Sam's gonna be okay thanks to Kendall's generous donation. But, she will have to stay for a few days." Logan looked up at the doctor.
"How long is a few days?" The doctor checked his clipboard.
"About 3-4 days. I'm also here to tell you that visiting hours are over and that you are required to leave. Now, I know you all want to stay here for Samantha, but only two people can stay overnight."
The 6 teens looked at Carlos, who had Jazzmine sleeping on his lap.
"I say we should let Carlos and Jazzy stay. Jazzy is Sam's sister, after all." James suggested.
Carlos yawned. "But what about Logan? He's Sam's girlfriend and Jazzy..." He looked at the sleeping brunette. "She wouldn't want me to stay here with her."
Logan rolled his eyes. "Would she be sleeping on you if she didn't want you? Besides, I gotta go home and study for Harvard."
Logan is trying to get into Harvard! Yay :D
Carlos groaned. "Okay, okay. I'll stay."
Once everyone (except Carlos & Jazzy) left, Jazzmine began to wake up.
"Where is everyone?" The brunette yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Back at the Palm Woods. You had fallen asleep and the doctor said that two people could stay here overnight. So, it was decided that we would stay." Jazzmine avoided Carlos' gaze.
"So, how's Sammy?" Carlos sighed.
"She'll live. She can go home tomorrow with you." Jazzy played with her hands, nervous.
"Jazz, I...I didn't know that Max kissed you. I'm really sorry I didn't believe you." Carlos looked into Jazzy's chocolate brown eyes.
"Car, it's okay. What's done is done. You broke up with me, so it's over." Jazzy sighed, looking at her feet.
Carlos met Jazzy's gaze and kissed her. She tried to pull away, but he wrapped his hands around her waist, only pulling her closer.
Jazzy gave in and kissed the Latino back before pullling away. "umm..."
Even when we're broken up, he can still take my breath away.
"Car, I...I...umm...I gotta run to the bathroom." Jazzy slipped out of Carlos' grip and ran into the direction of the bathroom.
Carlos ran a hand through his hair. "What the hell did I just do? Why did I kiss her?"
Because everything soumds better with her around
Carlos groaned at his conscious, then a lightbulb shined over his head.
"Music sounds better with...you." Carlos grabbed a spare notebook and began writing down lyrics.
Next Morning
7am; Apartment 2J
Logan sat on the couch, looking from his phone to his book, nervous.
I really hope she'll be okay. I haven't heard anything.
"Logan, will you relax? Sam will be okay." The genius looked up to see James walking out of his room.
"Jazzy hasn't called all morning. What about you and Hailey?" James groaned and sat on the couch.
"This might sound weird since I broke up with her, but I think I'm falling in love with her all over again." Logan shot up.
"Wait...say that again. That sounds really good." He grabbed a notebook.
"I think I'm falling in love all over again...for the first time and I know that it feels right." James sang while Logan scribbled the lyrics.
The front door opened to reveal Carlos and Kendall, who had picked up Sam from the hospital.
"Guys, I got an idea!" Carlos ran over and sat next to James on the couch.
"Please tell me it doesn't involve any kind of smoothie." Logan groaned. Carlos shook his head as Kendall sat next to Logan.
"No! I got an idea for a song last night. I called it...umm...Music Sounds Better With U!" Carlos' eyes brightened.
"Logan had an idea too. But, we didn't-
Logan cut James off. "It's called "All Over Again."
Kendall smiled. "Guys, I think it's time that Carlos and James get their girlfriends back."
8:30pm
Sam groaned, gripping her side. "It freakin hurts!"
Jazzy rolled her eyes, grabbing Sam's painkillers. "I told you that the doctor said to take it every 4 hours. You skipped it 4 hours ago."
Sam groaned, taking the painkillers and washing it down with ginger ale.
Autumn walked out of her room, reading her cell. "Guys. I just got a text from Kendall. He wants all of us to go to the ballroom for something."
Hailey sighed. "He picks now, after Sammy took her pain medication. Aye. Alright, let's go."
9pm
Jazzy sighed, leading the way to the ballroom. She wore a plain pink t-shirt with a neon green jacket, blue jeans, pink sneakers and her "Mickey Mouse" fedora.
Hailey followed right behind. She wore a blue tank top with a jeans jacket, blue jeans and dark blue sneakers.
Autumn followed behind, helping Sammy up on her feet. (She'a a little dizzy)
Autumn wore a red "Evanescene" t-shirt with light blue jeans and red sneakers and a red beanie.
Sammy wore a purple "Crazy Is My Middle Name" t-shirt with light blue jeans and light purple sneakers.
Once they reached the ballroom, the girls gasped in awe. The room was decorated with white lights and a stage. There was 2 small tables with four chairs each.
Sam and Jazzy sat on one table while Autumn and Hail sat at another table.
The lights suddenly dimmed down and the four members of BTR walked onto the stage.
"Hi. We wrote a couple songs for you girls and...we want you to hear them." The beat started as Kendall backed away to the middle of the stage.
[Logan:]
Better with you,
Better with you, yeah...
[James:]
I try to write this down
The words just don't come out
It's hard to say how you feel
Been down the longest road
Said yes when I meant no
I lost control of the wheel
[Logan:]
Cause you know that
Things get so bad,
You've got my back
Make me wanna sing,
And girl I'm singing about you
[Carlos:]
No sweeter sound
Than what I've found
No perfect love
Could be more perfect than ours
[All:]
Ooh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you baby
It feels right, it feels right
Everything's better with you
[Kendall:]
I used to think that love
Was something fools made up
Cause all I knew was heart break
Woah I couldn't help myself,
Let this heart go through hell
There only so much a heart can take
[Logan:]
Cause you know that
Things get so bad,
You've got my back
Make me wanna sing,
And girl I'm singing about you
[Carlos:]
No sweeter sound
Than what I've found
No perfect love
Could be more perfect than ours
[All:]
Ooh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you baby
It feels right, it feels right
Everything's better with you
[Carlos:]
Every song
Every rhyme
Every word is better with you
Everyday (Everyday)
All of the time (All of the time)
Every day
Music sounds better with you.
[Mann:]
She's my music enhancer
When the music plays, she's my dancer
When I'm around her everything's faster
Every question I have, she's the answer
I'm head over heels
Can't explain it, it's so surreal
When I'm around you, baby, you make me feel like
[All:]
Everything's better with you
Ooh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you, Baby
It feels right, it feels right
Everything's better with you
Oh baby it feels like, it feels like
The music sounds better with you, Baby
It feels right it feels right,
Everything's better with you
Music sounds better with you [x2]
The girls stood up and clapped, cheering for the 4 guys. Suddenly, the room went dark and the beat for "All Over Again" began. The lights dimmed on to reveal that thr four pop singers were gone.
The girls were shocked. "Where'd they go?" Jazzmine asked.
James: (Yeah yeah, oh yeah)
James took Hailey's hand, led her to the middle of the room and began to dance with her.
Kendall followed suit with Autumn.
Kendall:
I still got that same look that sets me off.
Can't say it, just something about you.
I got these feelings to let it show cause I wouldn't let you go.
I shouldn't of let you go.
You asked me for closure before and girl I told you it's over, it's over,
It's not over.
So here we go again.
Sam giggled as Logan began to dance with her. Carlos held his hand out to Jazzy. She bit her lip, nervous. She grabbed his hand and giggled as he led her to the dance floor.
All:
It's like I'm falling in love all over again.
For the first time and I know that it feels right.
I think I'm falling in love all over again.
Love at first sight, do you know how I feel to the left, left, left.
On the right, right, right.
In the back, back, back
On the side, side, side.
To the left, left, left.
On the right, right, right.
In the back, back, back
On the side, side, side.
Tonight.
James:
I know I tried to not face the truth, but no one can touch me like you do.
Your love is static, it pulls me in like a song when it first begins, I
Just don't want to let this end (No)
Logan:
You're kissing me over and you are my controller.
I told ya, I told ya, I'm ready to go again (Yeah)
All:
It's like I'm falling in love all over again.
For the first time and I know that it feels right.
I think I'm falling in love all over again.
Love at first sight, do you know how I feel to the left, left, left.
On the right, right, right.
In the back, back, back
On the side, side, side.
To the left, left, left.
On the right, right, right.
In the back, back, back
On the side, side, side.
Tonight.
Logan:
Baby there's something that you did to hold me on.
Baby there's something that just keeps me from moving on.
Carlos:
The moment I see you, I know it's going to be you, I got this figured out.
(Ooh)
All:
It's like I'm falling in love all over again.
For the first time and I know that it feels right.
I think I'm falling in love all over again.
Love at first sight, do you know how I feel to the left, left, left.
On the right, right, right.
In the back, back, back
On the side, side, side.
To the left, left, left.
On the right, right, right.
In the back, back, back
On the side, side, side.
Tonight.
(Ay, ay, ay, ay. All over again, all over again)
(Ay, ay, ay, ay. All over again, all over again oh yeah)
(Over again, ooh)
(Over again, over again)
(Oh yeah, over again)
The music ended and the three girls began to laugh with the 3 boys.
Sam realized something. "Umm...have you guys seen Jazzy?" She heard a giggle and turned around.
"Awww! That's so cute!" The 6 teens turned around to see Jazzy and Carlos kissing.
"Looks like their back together!" Carlos pulled away at the sound of Logan's voice and blushed, along with Jazzy.
Suddenly, the door burst open to reveal a red-faced Max. "THERE YOU ARE HAILEY! I TOLD YOU NOT TO HANG OUT WITH THESE 4 LOSERS!" He slapped Hailey across the face, causing her to fall.
James punched Max in the nose, breaking it. "KEEP YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF HER!"
Autumn fell from the scare, landing on her Blackberry and accidentally calling a certain number.
Hailey snuck over to her friends right before Max punched James in the gut, then his face, knocking the brunette boy unconscious.
"JAMES!" Hailey yelled, Jazzy and Autumn grabbing her wrists before she could try to kill Max as he grabbed an uncounscious.
"I'll make a deal with you. I'll leave you and your little friends alone if I get a little...something from you and Jazzy." Hailey shivered while Jazzy's face went pale.
"What does he want?" Carlos asked his girlfriend.
"H-He w-wants t-to..." Jazzy shivered and hid her face in Carlos' shirt. Carlos' eyes grew wide in realization as he held Jazzy tightly.
Hailey gulped, looking at her friends. "Umm...I..."
"Tick tock Hailey. Unless you want James to die. And don't any of you think about using your powers or I will kill him." He pulled out a knife and placed it on James' neck.
The door broke down and the police ran into the room. "PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"
Before Max could slice James' neck, Jazzmine and Sam held their hands together and used their powers (fire and water) to trap Max in the earth.
"Maximus Henderson, you are under arrest for attempted murder and attempted sexual battery. Anything you say can and will be held against you." Officer Darter arrested Max, pulled him out of the rock and took him away.
"How'd they even..." Autumn took out her cell phone to see that she had butt-called 911. She blushed. "Oops."
Apartment 2J
James groaned as Hailey placed a frozen stake over his black eye. "Sorry Jamie. I didn't know he was coming."
James smiled and kissed Hailey. "It's ok. Just go and hang out with your friends. I'll be ok."
Hailey blushed as she went to talk to her friends.
"So, will James be ok?" Autumn asked. "Yep. He'll live." Hailey sat down.
Jazzy was zoning out while looking at Carlos. "JAZZ!" Sam yelled, waking the twin sister.
"Huh...yeah?" The other 3 girls smirked. "YOU'RE IN LOVE!"
Jazzmine's cheeks turned rose red. "Since you won't ever leave me alone about it, I'll admit it. Yes, I'm in love with Carlos and no, you can't tell him. I'll tell him eventually."
Logan & Carlos' Room
Apartment 2J
Logan and Carlos just stared at each other, oddly quiet between the two friends.
"So, you wanted to talk to me about Jazzmine?" Logan looked at his best friend.
"Yea. Carlos, I know you're my best friend and I can trust you, but I'm a little concern about you dating Jazzy, She's my little sister, and I don't want her to have another broken heart."
Carlos sighed. "I know, but that heartbreak was because I didn't listen to her side of the story...or believe her. I promise to absolutely trust her and never ever break her heart again.
Logan smiled. "Good. But, if you do, I'm not afraid to bite your head off."
As Logan left the room, Carlos shivered. I really hope he doesn't do that.
Me: Well, I hope you enjoyed the story. Also, I lied about spmething in the last chapter. There is no way I'll be able to finish this story and start the sequal by Dec 26.
I'm going to update once a month. If I don't, that means I have writers block.
So, keep an eye out for Chapter 23 and have a Merry Christmas!
