Chapter Four: Sweet Revenge
Mio nodded. She clearly loved my plan as much as I did. We arrived at apartment 2J where the boys were waiting. James and Mio kept complimenting each other. It's love just waiting to happen. Carlos kept staring at me but I ignored him. Everyone already knew what happened since we keep no secrets from each other. Mio told me they had all yelled at Carlos for it, but he had started spending time with Stephanie. But then I tricked Jennifer into getting Stephanie to break his heart, and because Jennifer knew he was vulnerable she took the chance to get him. My plan was working perfectly. She had no idea what was coming to her.
Carlos had told everyone he had invited Jennifer and that led to an uncomfortable silence between us all. 'Well It's really more like she invited herself' Ahh, little evil person inside me, you finally chose the right time to appear. I was excited.
We all left to a restaurant for lunch together. It had been a long time since we were all together like this, well if you minus Jennifer it would be better. It was important for her to be here though. Many people came up to Big Time Rush and to myself, asking for autographs and pictures with us. We all love our fans, so we agreed.
"I might start charging for each autograph and picture", James joked. We all laughed. It was about time for us to have a good one too. The owner of the restaurant asked us to sing and we all thought about it. It would actually look good. We had security by the limo in case things got out of hand. Kendall said we would sing "Count On You" since it's the only song they had ever recorded with me. Only I had a problem with this. Every time we sang this song when we were recording I always looked at Carlos. I'm pretty sure I'd do the same thing this time if I decide to go up on that stage. Everyone looked at me. I felt a gentle push on my arm. I turned around to see Manny and Mio smiling.
"Go ahead", Manny said.
"You don't have to think about him. Just focus on the music, have fun." Mio whispered so the others wouldn't hear.
I looked at all of them and my eyes rested on Carlos. He was still wearing the locket he had bought on my birthday. I'm pretty sure he still had the two pictures inside. One of me and him and the other of me, him and all our friends.
I looked at Kendall. "Ok, I'm ready."
It would be the first time Mio and Manny hear me sing in a long time. I'm a little nervous. And a little upset that I have to start the song and because I sing most of it. Why couldn't they sing one of their songs and I do vocals in the back round. You know, a song like, "Till I Forget About You"?
"Now I'm about to give you my heart
But remember this one thing
I've never been in love before
So you gotta go easy on me"
As I sang I tried my best not to look at Carlos. Next it was Kendall's turn to sing. I touched my locket. 'Mom I know you're watching me. Is it wrong that I love this boy who continues to hurt me?"
"I heard love is dangerous
Once you fall you never get enough
But the thought of you leaving
Ain't so easy for me"
'If he leaves what will happen to me?'
"Don't hurt me
Desert me
Make me sorry I never counted on you"
'I counted on Carlos. I counted on him to protect my heart, not destroy it'
"1,2,3,4 to 5 baby, I'm counting on you
1,2,3,4 to 5 baby, I'm counting on you"
'I counted on you. I didn't want you to hurt me but you still did.' I tried to snap out of my thoughts. The next line was Kendall.
"Understand I've been here before, thought I found someone I thought I finally could adore"
'I really did think I found the one for me. I know I'm not wrong. I know he's the one for me.' I found myself staring at Carlos as we sang the next line together.
"But you failed my test, got to know her better so I wasn't the only one"
'I wish you were here to help me mom' Now it was James and I singing.
"But I'm willing to put my trust you, baby you could put your trust in me"
I tried my best, but I kept looking at Carlos while I sang. He smiled at me when he noticed and once again we sang another line together.
"Just like a count to 3, you can count on me and your never gonna see"
Was he doing that thing again when he somehow knew what I was thinking? This may sound childish but I just want my mom. Escaping from Carlos' gaze, I looked at Logan while I sang with him now.
"No numbers in my pocket.
Anything I'm doing girl I'll drop it for you"
I wish he'd drop Jennifer…right off a building. I saw James smile at Mio when I sang with him this time.
"'Cuz you're the one I'm giving my heart to but I gotta be the only one"
It really felt like I was the only one who put my heart on the line in my relationship with Carlos.
"1234 to 5 (yeah)
Baby I'm counting in you (oh)
1234 to 5 (why would I want to do that hey yeah)
1234 (oh no) to 5 baby I'm counting on you
1234 to 5
No I'm about to give you my heart
So remember this one thing
I've never been in love before
Yea you gotta go easy on me. "
I finished the song with the boys and we all smiled at the audience.
"Wooooo!" I heard Manny clapping from his seat. "Encore!"
My eyes widened and I shook my head. "Ok, so no encore?"
We all sat down with James beside Mio and with my luck I was stuck next to Carlos and Jennifer this time. I really tried my best not to look at Carlos during the song but it was hard. I pulled out my phone and began to text rapidly. This was an emergency.
"Ugh, why are you here? You're just bringing Big Time Rush down by tagging around." Jennifer said while giving me a glare. She moved herself on her Carlos' lap. Carlos looked uncomfortable. I didn't care. Everything was going the way I wanted to. Well most of it anyway. I wasn't expecting to sing.
"Be nice Jenn. Mia is a great singer", Carlos said while staring at me. 'Kiss up'
"Thanks", I took a sip of soda. We all ate in an awkward silence. My phone vibrated and I read my new text message.
"That is so rude", Jennifer said in a nasty tone, "using your phone while you're with your friends." She then took out a brush from her purse and began brushing her hair. "I am such a better friend", she said.
"And that's disgusting", I rolled my eyes at her, "who brushes their hair at the table?"
"Are you trying to say my hair is going to fall out? As if! My hair is flawless." she replied.
"Spell flawless", I heard Manny mutter.
Everyone except Jennifer broke out in a fit of laughter as she looked up to think of how to spell the word.
I replied to my text and then stood up and stared at the door. Everyone looked at me.
"Now she's going to leave? Some friend." Jennifer said.
"Would you shut up already." Manny said. It was more of a statement.
I saw Mike walk in and I waved. He took two steps but then he saw Jennifer nibbling on Carlos' ear as he attempted to push her away. She was like a cat and Carlos was the catnip.
"Jenn?" Mike walked to our table. "What're you doing?"
She quickly jumped off of Carlos' lap. My chocolate milkshake came to the table and I began to drink it happily as I watched my plan unfold. But this was only the beginning. I had more planned. The tiny evil person in me was pleased as she laughed.
"I-I-I.. he wouldn't let me go!" She tried to talk her way out. She tried to walk into Mike's arms but he pushed her into an empty seat between Carlos and I.
"Save it! My little sister was right." He shook his head at her. "I never should have trusted you." He then looked at Carlos and shook his hand. "I'm sorry for believing her. I'm pretty sure all this is her fault."
"Nah, it's ok." Carlos said.
Mike looked at me, "Mia, you got a real good guy here. Don't lose your chance with him." 'Why? So he can hurt me even more?'
I just nodded and looked down. "She set me up!" Jennifer said while pointing at me.
I stood up while sipping my milkshake. I tiled my head slightly as I looked at her and smiled. "No, that's where you're wrong Jennifer. I set this up." I poured my milkshake over her head and shook it until my glass was empty. It was literally sweet revenge. "I planned this whole thing. Mio and I heard you when you were talking to Stephanie on the phone. You bribed her to come back to follow us and break me and Carlos up. You're nothing but a desperate girl. I don't know if you noticed but Carlos doesn't have feelings for you. He told you countless times he loves me and you just cant take a hint!" I looked at Carlos who was grinning. "This doesn't mean I'm taking you back either." his expression quickly faded. "You accepted that kiss from Stephanie. So it doesn't matter if she was bribed or not, you still have feelings for her." He was going to respond but I cut him off. "Please save me the excuses. I'm tired of hearing 'It was a mistake and I learned from it' and don't try to win me over again with a love song. If you really love me show me. Stop using words and start using actions." I grabbed my bag and I left with my cousin, my brother and my best friend.
