Author's Note:

Another late update! I am soooo sorry! And, unfortunately, they won't be coming any sooner this week; I'll be on vacation. But I PROMISE that after the first week of August, there will faster updates.

A side note… WOO-HOO! New BTR tonight with a new music video! Is it just me, or have they not been "updating" lately either? Hahahaha. :)

Disclaimer: [I've been forgetting to do these lately, but hey you guys already know that] I do not of Big Time Rush or the song "Half of My Heart" by John Mayer.

Carlos's POV

I had a feeling that Kendall was not "fine." The whole car ride home was… intense. Every time we turned a corner, I swear we were going to crash and die. But somehow we made it home unharmed. He seemed angry, and I'm not talking about his "I'm mad, but not that much because I'm never mad" angry, he was angry like the time that one boy basically harassed Katie everyday at recess. Boy, he was angry then.

I took a deep sigh of relief once we turned into the Palm Woods parking. We're alive… we're alive. Kendall parked crooked and jumped out of the car quickly, slamming the car door so hard the car shook.

"Um," I said, dashing out of the car and practically running to keep up with his long legs that were taking long strides.

"What?" Kendall turned around to face me, his face filled with annoyance.

"I… uh…" I said. I was confused. What in the world had gotten him so angry? After a moment of silence, Kendall stomped into the lobby.

I was practically shaking. Kendall was kind of scaring me… I wondered what Logan would think. I raced into the Palm Woods, running my full speed. I knew I had to beat Kendall to our room if I wanted to talk to Logan alone. Luckily, I was a much faster sprinter than him so I easily passed him through the lobby - where he saw me running and then starting sprinting, too - and jumped into the elevator, quickly pressing the "Close Door" button violently until the doors shut and Kendall was locked outside.

"Hah!" I said, pumping a fist into the air. I pressed the "2" button then turned around. "AUGH!"

"Hello, Carlos," Camille said indifferently. I looked her up and down. She was wearing a giant squid costume and I wasn't sure which tentacles were her actually arms and legs.

"Y-y-you scared me," I said, my eyes bulging out at the weirdness of her outfit.

"I was auditioning for a part in this new movie called 'Finding Leo,'" she explained.

"Why would you want to be in a movie where you would dress up like that?" I asked.

"Oh, you don't really have to, it's an animated movie," Camille explained. "It just helps me get into character."

"Yeah, mhmm, well, uh... good luck with that!" I said as the elevator opened up to the second floor. I rushed out and ran down to 2J. I banged on the door, not wanting to waste time finding my key in one of the many pockets of my khakis.

"OPEN UP, LOGAN!" I screamed. The door opened unexpectedly and I fell to the ground. I jumped right back up.

"What now, Carlos?" Logan asked. I quickly shut the door and locked it.

"Don't open this door until we're done talking, okay?"

"Is this about Charlotte? Because if it is a I've got some news for-"

"NO! It's about… wait, tell me about Charlotte."

Logan rolled his eyes and walked back behind the counter to the fridge. "Hmm… maybe I shouldn't tell you." He grabbed the carton of orange juice inside and poured himself a glass.

"LOGAN!"

"Fine, fine," Logan said, taking a sip. "Charlotte now knows that we have crushes on her and we are fighting over her."

My shoulders slumped. "I already thought she knew… that's it?" Logan nodded. "BOR-RING." I said. I took a seat on the couch. "Now my turn."

I told Carlos about Kendall's violent ride home. "Well, what happened at the rink that could've made him so mad?" Logan asked. I shrugged. All of a sudden there was a loud knock on the door. "Logan, let me in, I don't have my key!" Kendall called angrily.

"Don't let him in!" I mouthed.

"Uh…" Logan said, his eyes darting back and forth, trying to think of a plan. "I'm in the bathroom! It, uh, could take… awhile?" He looked at me for help.

Kendall sigh sounded like a growl. "Fine, I'll go use Katie's…" We listened as his footsteps faded.

"Okay we have to hurry… anyway, what happened was we were in there for, like, 2 minutes. Basically we walked in, saw James sitting on a bench with Jo, then walked out. Well, actually Kendall stormed o-OUCH!" I was cut off by a punch in the shoulder. "Ow!"

"Idiot," Logan said. "Kendall thinks Jo is cheating on him with James!"

"No w-" I stopped. It started to make sense. They were both in skates, both smiling and laughing, and grabbing each other's shoulders… and what else would make Kendall that mad? "You're right!"

Logan rolled eyes. "Now you have to get out of here before Kendall finds out you were here."

"I'll jump out the window!" I said. I was about to put my helmet on until I realized I didn't have it.

"No! Just use the stairs on the other side of the hallway," Logan said. "By the way, I found your helmet."

"Where is it?" I asked eagerly.

"In the freezer."

Logan and I (with my cold helmet) snuck out of 2J just as the elevator Kendall was on opened up to the second floor. We raced our fastest down the hallway and ran down the stairs to the main floor out of breath.

"Man," I said, bending over with my hands on my knees. "We are out of shape."

"Less hockey means less endurance," Logan said, putting his hands on his head.

"Why are you doing that?" I asked him like he was crazy.

"You get more air through your lungs," Logan explained. "Crouched over like that you – Oh, hey, Charlotte!" Logan put his hand downs immediately. I stood up and wiped my forehead of sweat.

"Hi, guys," she smiled. I melted.

"Hi, Charlotte," I said, hoping I wasn't too sweaty. Oh man, are there pit stains on my shirt? We only ran three flights!

"Hey, Charlotte, can I ask you sometime?" Logan said, flaunting his dimples.

He's not going to do it… not here. Not in front of me! Oh man, he is…

"Yes?" Charlotte asked, oblivious.

"Do you wanna, you know, go… pizza… maybe, oh… with me… movie?" I couldn't help but snicker a bit at his attempt of asking her out.

"You mean, go on a date with you?" Charlotte asked slowly.

"Tomorrow!" Logan blurted, then blushed.

"Sure, I-I-I'd love to." Now she was blushing.

I stood there with my mouth on the ground.

"I'll be by your apartment at 6," Logan said, regaining his confidence. Charlotte bid us good-bye and left.

"Dude…" I said, but that was all I could manage. I could feel Logan doing a victory dance next to me.

I now know how Kendall feels.
