Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
The songs used in this chapter are
"Mama Knows Best" By Jessie J
"Picture" By Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow
And I don't own those either!
Also! The entire relationship between Logan and Jayde throughout the rest of this story is inspired by an idea I received in a PM from LinaRush, I cannot thank her enough for the way shes helped me develop this storyline. Thank you!
And! I have the one-shot series started up and the first one is published if you want to read it. :)
"Jayde honey, im gonna go get us checked in. Why don't you and your sister go explore for a bit."
"Mom! I know the Palm Woods like the back of my hand, theres nothing to explore that I haven't already explored before." Jayde Rocque huffed and playfully rolled her eyes at her mother.
"Then go hang out by the pool for a bit." The woman shrugged.
Jayde sighed impatiently. "Mom I have to be at Rocque Records before one, Griffin said he had a special job for me and im dying to see my girls! Its been two months, im going through Rocque withdraw here!" Jayde whined.
Nancy Rocque frowned at her daughter. "Jayde go occupy yourself while I get us a suite, we will go to the studio as soon as we get unpacked." Nancy was using her 'im-the-mom-I-make-the-rules' voice.
"Come on Lizzy, I need some coffee." Jayde grumbled and pulled her huge suitcase behind her. Jayde's ten year old sister Elizabeth followed behind her with her eyes glued to her aqua blue DSi…
.
.
Jayde was walking down a random hall sipping a hot cup of coffee, with a sigh she shoved her hair from her face. It had been the longest two months of her life being away from the girls, sure it had been nice seeing her father and all, but damn it felt good to be back home. Uncle Gussy was going to get the biggest hug in the world when she got her hands on him. Her mom had better hurry or she was going to walk down to the studio herself. She wondered what kind of trouble the gi-
"ooff!"
Her thoughts where cut short as she felt another body slam into hers and her scalding hot coffee soak her front. She didn't know who it was, but when she got back up off the ground they were going to die!
"Are you okay?"
"If third degree coffee burns and possible concussions are qualified as okay…Then yeah, im okay!" Jayde spat as she tried to get past the throbbing of her head enough to open her eyes. When she did her breath caught in her throat, the hottest guy she had ever seen was staring down at her with gorgeous chocolate concern filled eyes. He was practically lying on top of her as they were both taken down by the impact, why was he running so effing fast anyways?...
"DUDE! Get the hell off of me! And watch where the fuck you're going sometime!" Jayde shouted in anger, he was quick to get up.
"I-uhh' He gave an awkward cough and stuck out his hand to help her up off the ground. 'Sorry about that, I was in a hurry and didn't see you …Im Logan by the way, Logan Mitchell." Jayde looked up at this Logan fellow with a deep frown, he without a doubt had the best half smile in the universe. She grabbed his outstretched hand and he pulled her up off the ground. "Thanks..." She mumbled.
.
.
Logan nod his head and was about to ask for her name, instead he gave a sharp gasp as his breath left his lungs, not because he was transfixed with this mystery girls beauty…no, she had just delivered a hard punch to his stomach. Logan dropped to his knees and clutched his bruising abdomen, he didn't know girls could hit that hard.
She sneered down on him. "You frikin douche! You got coffee all over my leather!" The girl exclaimed angrily.
"Sorry?" Logan gasped out confused.
"You're damn right, its gonna take me forever to wash this out, and I have places to be thank you very much!" She spat angrily. Logan watched as she turned on her studded black heel and began walking down the hallway, spitting out a sting of curses as she went. Who was she?
XOXOXO (In Rocque Records) XOXOXO
"DOGS!"
Kendall sighed for the billionth time. "What Gustavo…"
"Why is your nerdy little friend not here? Griffin is on his way now!" Gustavo spat.
"Chill dad…im sure he's on his way here now, Logan hates tardiness." Jessie shrugged from her spot in the bubble chair.
Gustavo was under a lot of pressure, always was when Griffin said he was coming to pay a visit to the studio. When Griffin came in it was never good news for Gustavo. Of all the days that nerd dog decides to not come in it just had to be this one…
"Griffin is only coming to pick up our singles anyways, no need to have a cow dad." Lauren added from the couch where she was playing a game of blackjack with Katie…whom she was babysitting.
"I don't car-" Gustavo was cut short when the studio door busted open and a gasping Logan rushed in.
"Sorry…im…late." He gasped out before collapsing to the floor in a heap. Carmen went over to make sure he was still alive.
.

Griffin came some thirty minutes later and the girls stood infront of him for their moments of truth. These singles were going to make or break the release for their third album. Griffins assistants rolled a huge television into the studio…
"Alright girls, lemme see what you got."
The door opened again and a certain Rocque made their appearance.
Carmen squealed.
"JAYDE!"
She ran over and wrapped her arms around the teen, who hugged back with equal enthusiasm.
"Its been too long…Laur, Jess, get your asses over here!" Jayde demanded. The two wasted no time in joining the group hug.
"Yeah yeah, enough of this reunion. You all can catch up on all the things girls catch up on later. Work now, gushy time later." Gustavo glared.
The girls released from the hug and Jayde ran over to the mean old man, wrapping her arms around him tightly.
"Uncle Gussy! Ive missed you and your screaming the most!" The raven haired girl kissed the mans balding head, leaving a bright red lipstick mark behind.
"Jayde come meet the guys!" Carmen exclaimed excitedly as she grabbed hold of the girls hand and began pulling her towards the sound booth.
"Guys..Jayde, Jayde…guys!" Carmen introduced.
James and Carlos' jaws dropped.
"Hi, the girls have told me so much about you fou- oh hey! You're the dude that spilled coffee all over me earlier!" Jayde exclaimed catching sight of Logan. "Wait, was that why you were so late?" Kendall asked, looking at the raven haired boy. "Kinda…" Logan said, frowning at the girl in leather.
Jayde was very pretty. But she wasn't blonde, nor did she have a single book. She had a heart shaped face and hazel green eyes that were lined in thick eyeliner and dark eyeshadow. Her pin straight hair touched her shoulders and was jet black, a curtain of straight edged bangs covered her forehead. She was wearing a dark pair off skinny jeans, a white tshirt that was covered by a black leather half jacket and her feet were strapped with a pair of black pumps that had dangerous looking spikes on the heel and toe area. But her prettiness was overshadowed by her bad attitude too much for Logan's taste. Logan was never the one to judge, but he really didn't like this girl.
"I thought Carmen said she was nerdy…" James mumbled after he snapped out of whatever thing he was in.
"Can we get back to the singles." Logan said, annoyance evident in his voice.
"Damn boy, who pissed in your corn flakes?" Jayde asked casually as the left the sound booth, earning a chuckle from the three guys and a glare from Logan.
.
.
Jessie was the first to go with her video single. Everyone gathered around the large television set, James was standing particularly close to Jayde.
On screen Jessie appeared, she was sitting in the floor and her hair stood in crazy angles from having just gotten out of bed.
Jessie gave a huge yawn. "Man I wish they would hurry up…" She mumbled tiredly.
She looked as if she had just gotten out of bed. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were squinted, and she was in her pajamas. She sat there complaining to herself for about three minutes before the door behind her opened.
Her head whipped around. "Took you two long enough…" She grumbled.
Lauren and Katie appeared on screen in their pajamas, sitting in the floor next to Jessie. They both had their hair in sloppy buns and food in their hands.
Lauren threw a box of cereal at Jessie. "We were hungry okay!" She exclaimed, ripping open a honey bun.
Jessie groaned. "This goes on forever." She grabbed the remote and hit the forward button.
With confused looks they watched the three have a cereal war in fast motion. Once it was far enough Jessie hit play…
The three where huffing for breath. "I think…there's a cheerio…in…my ear." Katie gasped and began scratching in her ear.
Jessie and Lauren burst into laughter together, clutching their sides. Katie looked back and fourth between the two with wide eyes. "I think I got it!" She announced, pulling a cheerio from her ear. This caused the two Rocque sisters to collapse into another fit.
Jessie tried to ignore the frown her father was shooting at her.
Jessie sat back up and wiped her eyes "okay okay, time to get down to business. This video needs to be done before Griffin gets to the studio in about..." She looked at the clock hanging on her wall. "Four hours! Holy crap I shoulda started this thing two months ago!"
Lauren choked on her honey bun. "Those are due today?" She exclaimed as Katie thumped her on the back.
Jessie looked at her with knitted brows. "…yeah…" she answered slowly.
"Damn it!" Lauren shot off the floor and ran out of the door.
Katie and Jessie shared a look. "Lets get this done with, then we can catch breakfast at Carmens." Katie announced.
Jessie nod and looked into the camera. "Heres your duet song about knowing best Griffin…Katie co-wrote and is going to help me sing this…Ready Kit-Kat?" Jessie asked the ten year old.
"Whoa! Katie sings?" Kendall asked, turning towards his sister with wide eyes.
"SHHHH!" Katie shushed him and turned back towards the television.
"This is called Mama Knows Best-"
"Even though you don't have a Mama!" Lauren said as she entered the room again, notepad in hand.
Jessie stuck out her tongue "Yeah so? Neither do you…" She shot back.
Lauren glared. "That was uncalled for."
"Just like your face…" Katie countered.
Jessie gasped. "Ouch Katie." She mumbled and placed a hand over her heart.
"Can we just get on with the song, im starving!" Lauren whined.
"Fine!" Jessie grumbled words under her breath and clicked the mouse.
Music that was very showtuney began playing loudly as Jessie and Katie sat up and got ready to start singing.
"WHOA Thhherre is something goin doooown! Like the storm in the skyyyy ooohhhhh. See I aint gonna be played, by your behavior. How can I trust someone who's lyin to me?" Jessie bellowed.
"So bow out, go! Now I said bow out and leave. I said take your stuff and go. Cause you're not for me noooo!" Katie sang then fell into the chorus with Jessie.
The group of teenage boys looked from the TV to Katie in shock.
"Dude you're gonna catch flies." Jayde laughed and closed Kendall and James' gaping mouths.
"Just keep the best of" my daddy said to me"
"Always use humor as your therapy yeaaahhh." Katie sang, going cross-eyed in the camera.
"Don't ever take life too seriously…" Jessie trailed off.
"Just do you! Cause you do you.. so perfectllllyyyy!" Katie finished and fell into the chorus with Jessie again.
The video ended with Katie dragging Lauren and Jessie out of the room for breakfast. The two song writers turned towards Griffin for the final score.
Griffin smiled at them. "I like it, the song…not the video. Gustavo add 'Mama Knows Best' to the Rocquet Gurlz EP!" He said and turned back towards the TV.
Katie and Jessie fist bumped.
"Lauren, your single video?" Gustavo asked, hand out waiting for the disk.
Lauren blushed lightly. "About that…I don't have a video." She trailed off and rubbed the back of her neck.
Gustavo facepalmed. "Of course you don't, you at least have a song right?" He spat, blood pressure rising.
"Of course…gimme a second!" She grabbed hold of Kendalls arm and dragged him into the sound booth.
The group watched as Lauren asked something, Kendall nod confused. She picked up an electric guitar and pushed it into his hands and grabbed a bass off of the wall. She picked up a pair of headphones and put them on Kendalls confused little head before she exited the sound booth.
Lauren sat down in Gustavos recording seat and turned her LA Kings hat backwards. She placed headphones on and began messing with the switchboard, after a few minutes she seemed satisfied and pulled turned towards Griffin.
"This is a sad love song with the word picture in it." Lauren announced her assignment and ran back into the sound booth and picked up the bass and headphones
Lauren pulled out a piece of paper and Kendall nod as she explained the lyrics.
He began strumming and opened his mouth to sing the first verse.
Livin my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sunshine
In three damn days
Been fuelin'up on cocaine and whiskey
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
Lauren stood next to Kendall at the mic and sang her verse.
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles tell me somethin' just ain't right
I've been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
Kendall followed the guitar chords Lauren had written on the paper and began the small guitar solo. Lauren watched with wide eyes, seeming somewhat shocked at Kendalls musical talent. He turned his head and made eye contact with her, Lauren felt butterflies explode in her stomach from the look he was giving her.
"I saw you yesterday with an old friend" Lauren sang out.
"It was the same old same how've you been?" Kendall added.
"Since you've been gone my worlds been dark and grey" They sang together, eyes still staring into one anothers.
You reminded me of brighter days (Kendall)
I hoped you were comin' home to stay (Lauren)
I was headed to church (Lauren)
I was off to drink you away (Kendall)
Together they sang the chorus…
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back home
The song ended and their eye contact still remained. Laurens face began heating up as those gushy feelings started to come back up again.
See! I told you!
Not now Logan!
Lauren shook her head and shot out of the booth, shouting something about having to pee over her shoulder as she ran from the room, her blush darkening with every step she took.
"That was weird…" Carmen said, staring after the blushing blonde.
"What did you do to her in there Kendall!" Jessie demanded loudly into the mic.
Kendall flinched away from the noise and pulled his headphones off. "Ow! I didn't do anything!" He protested.
Jayde and Logan laughed. "You guys are so clueless." They said at the same time.
The two raven haired teens glared at eachother.
"Don't say what I say!" They said together.
"What you say? You're the one copying me!"
"Stop it!"
"No you stop it!
"In the name of Albert Einstein!" They continued to chorus in perfect sync.
Jayde gave a frustrated growl and shoved Logan, who went flying over the back of the couch and fell in the gap between the wall and the sofa. Logans head popped up and he glared over at Jayde.
"That was pathetic." He laughed harshly and jumped up from behind the couch.
Jayde glared. "Your face is pathetic." She shot back, taking a step closer to the boy.
"Good comeback, now wipe it off your chin." Logan smirked.
The room got really quiet…did Logan just make a dirty joke?
Jaydes eye twitched…
Kendall covered Katies ears…
Carmen covered her mouth and giggled…
Jessie burst into laughter…
"Go engage yourself in egoistic carnal knowledge!" She shot back angrily.
Logan frowned at her.
"What did she just say?" James whispered to Jessie.
Jessie shrugged and continued laughing. "I dunno, but it must have been pretty bad from the look on his face."
Logan was looking at Jayde with wild mad eyes, with a huff he turned on his heel and walked out of the door.
Jayde laughed. "Yep, his cornflakes are deffenantly pissed in."
