To: Dak
Sure! Meet you in the lobby in 30?

One New Msg: Dak
Sounds good to me! :)

The brunette quickly made her way to the bathroom of 3J, but turned around, remembering that she didn't grab any clothes to change into. As she passes the balcony doors, she spotted Elizabeth literally rolling on the ground laughing her ass off at one of Carlos' many stunts. She could see Michelle and Logan shaking their heads in disapproval, then Elizabeth jump up in worry to help Carlos after he made a crash landing on to a wall. Madelyn frown. She wanted her friends to be happy. Happy with the guys they like. But knowing Michelle, she was to stubborn to listen to Madelyn if she told her to go ahead and date Logan. Elizabeth would argue, but eventually do what her heart wants deep down.

"Ughh!" she groaned and went to get her phone off the coffee table.

To: Bethhh :D
I need to talk to you alone soon!

She glanced out the window one more time before going to her room. She quickly slipped into a pear of blue, shredded skinny jeans. She bit her lip as she looked for the right shirt to wear. After a few minutes of looking, she went with her white tank top and her black off shoulder shirt. Madelyn ran back to the bathroom. She fixed are hair and makeup before letting out a huge sigh. Hair poofed in the back, a head-band on to separate her bangs from the rest of her hair, and her eyes outlined in think eyeliner. Her hands went to her phone.

One New Msg: Bethhh :D
Okay! Be up there in a sec!

Madelyn smiled and pulled her black converse on. She plopped herself down on the couch and puffed out a large breath. She let her eyes wonder to the clock on the wall. She had ten more minutes until she had to meet Dak.

Elizabeth burst through the door, still chuckling to herself. Madelyn smiled at her. The shorter girl waved and sat by the taller one.

"What'd ya wanna talk about, Maddie?"

"I think you should take Carlos up on his offer for a date," Madelyn said, being very blunt with her seeing as she only had a small amount of time.

"What? No we-"

"Elizabeth! Listen to me!" This silenced the other girl because none of the other girls ever called her by her name. She didn't like being referred to as her first name. "Just because James and Kendall did something to hurt Amber and I, does not mean that you or Michelle have to hold it against Carlos and Logan. I can see you like him. Heck, you liked him when we lived in Minnesota. He did nothing to any of us. Please, for your own good, date him!"

Elizabeth laid her head on Madelyn's shoulder, fiddling with her fingers as she stared down.

"I don't have much time to argue."

"O-okay..."

"Great! Go get your man!" Madelyn laughed.

Elizabeth stood and ran to the door. She turned to give Madelyn one last smile, but instead her eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. "Where are you going so early?"

Madelyn blushed, "Out for breakfast with Dak," she mumbled and walked over to Elizabeth. She grabbed James' jacket. They shut and locked the apartment before heading to the elevators.

"What was that?" Elizabeth smirked.

"I'm going to go out with Dak, okay!" she blushed a deeper shade of red. Just as she yelled this, the doors opened into the lobby. There stood Madelyn's first love. His eyes wide and mouth hung open.

"Uhmm, I'll leave you two to it," Elizabeth side-hugged Madelyn, then glared at James, "For your own sake, you better not say the wrong thing," with that the chocolate brunette walked way.

"Morning, James..." she gave him a weak smile.

"Morning... You're going to go on a date with Dak? Dak Zevon?" James asked in a weak voice. He tried to clear his throat.

"Y-yeah..."

"Why?"

"Why not? I can't spend my whole life mopping over a guy who never loved me! A guy who I gave my ALL! Who has been out on several dates after our break up! Probably did things with them all to... A guy who I thought... thought I knew. I have to move on..." she looked down as she tried to hide the tears forming in her eyes from falling. Her bangs covering her eyes, "because he moved on a long time ago."

"I did to love you!"

"Oh please. You did not. You moved on extremely fast. You dumped me in he harshest way you could think of! That's not love. Now I'm moving on. Can't you be happy for me?" Madelyn looked up at him with the tears in her eyes that threatened to fall. Her eyes were begging him.

James frowned. He didn't get why she wouldn't believe him. He decided he would let what his heart wants win, "Okay," and his heart wants for her to be happy. "I'm sorry, Maddie. I want you to do what makes you happy again. But I want you to know that I do love you Madelyn Payton Knight and I always will. You will always be the one who owns my heart no matter what." James pulled her to him and wrapped her in a warm, tight embrace. Both squeezed their eyes shut, remembering days back in Minnesota.

"Thanks," she muttered against his chest. They let go just as the lobby's radio started playing Nothing Even Matters softly. James let out a bitter chuckled to his bands song.

Madelyn looked past James to find Dak's back to them as he talked to Kendall. She passed James his jacket and said bye. Her eyes met Kendall's and she walked over to him. The blonde threw his arm around her shoulder.

"There you are baby sis! Dak was just telling me about how he asked you to breakfast, but he would cancel if I didn't approve."

"And you do approve, right?" she hissed.

"Hmm. I dunno. Maybe, maybe not."

"Kendall!"

"I don't think you're-"

"Ready to date? Yes, I am. I've done it if you haven't noticed. We're leaving, Kendall," she grabbed her dates hand and left the lobby.

Kendall threw his head back and groaned. He felt a hand rest on his shoulder and rub it in a soothing way.

"You gotta face that she's growing up, honey. You can't protect her for everything because in the end it will still hurt."

"I know mom. I just wish we could go back to being little kids again. Like Katie's age."

"Katie is growing up too. She might even have her first boyfriend," Jennifer Knight smiled.

"Kyle asked her to be his girlfriend?"

"Shush, Kendall. She's old enough to have one!"

"I'm going to hurt that kid!"

A voice cleared their throat. Both Knights turned to find a built guy with black emo style hair. "You will not lay a hand on my little brother, dude. I will handle it if he even thinks about hurting Katie. I'm sure Madelyn will handle the heart break with Katie so really, you're not needed in this," Jakub smirked.

"Not cool. He is too needed. It is his little sisters. Break one of his sisters hearts and he gets involved, friend or not. It's all apart of being a big brother," James said, not looking anyone in he eye. No one even saw him approach them.

"I'll see you boys up stairs," Jennifer Knight quickly left.

"Whatever. I gotta get back to Amber," Jakub smirked once again.

"You better treat her right," Kendall glared.

"Like you did?"

"Dude, you use to be cool. When did you start acting like Jett?" James asked.

"I do not act like him."

"Yes, you-"

"Jake! Jake, there you are! You said you'd be right back," Amber's black hair swung behind her as he ran over to the three boys. "Your mom asked me to join you guys for break fast. She also asked Katie," the girl smiled, not noticing the hurtful faces Kendall was making.

"Kendall! Buddy! Let's leave these two with their planning and look, there's Camille!" James said with fake enthusiasm. He grabbed the blondes wrist and pulled him out the pool, not wanting his friend to get more hurt.

"Thanks, James," Kendall whispered.

"No prob-" the tallest member of Big Time Rush was cut off by a loud shout from the shortest member, who was on the other side of the pool.

"YESSS! I GOT A DATE!" Carlos exclaimed as he hugged Elizabeth.

James and Kendall chuckled as the both yelled, "Congrats, dude," over to Carlos.

"Hey, guys!" Camille smiled.

"You're still talking to us? I mean with Jo being pissed at Kendall at the moment…"

"No. Just because she's my friend and she's mad at another one of my friends doesn't mean I have to be."

"Thanks, Cam," Kendall smiled.

"But~" Camille began, "Jo told me that she forgives you and she's glad you guys broke up so she could finally give Jett a chance."

"I'm happy for her," Kendall said, honestly.

"You should talk to her."

"Later. Maybe."

(((Madelyn's date)))

The brunette laughed at something the boy across the table said. Dak took her to iHOP to keep things simple.

Buzzz!

"Just a second," the boy mumbled as he looked at his phone. "Looks like my cousin and his friends made it in town. My sister can keep them company for now and I'll entertain them after our breakfast," Dak smiled at Madelyn.

"Wait… You have a sister? How come she's never in the magazines?"

"She keeps a low profile. She doesn't want attention for being, 'the famous Dak Zevon's' sister."

"Oh. I wouldn't want that with Kendall either if BTR became as big as you."

"But my cousins and his friends being here reminds me of what I was going to ask you."

Madelyn nodded to let him know he had her attention as she bite off a piece of her bacon.

"His friends are going to be the opening act for my concert in a week, and I was wondering if Toxic Meltdown wanted to also be apart of the opening acts?"

"WHAT?" Madelyn choked on her food.

"Six days from now. It starts at eight-thirty."

"I would- We'd- I gotta call Hawk!" Madelyn jumped up and hugged Dak before she pulled her phone out.

"Madelyn, I was just about to call you," Rebecca, Hawk's assistant's, voice came through the other end.

"I got great news for Toxic Meltdown!"

"So does Hawk. I got the other girls to come to the studio. He wants you all here. Could you please hurry. You can tell him you news when your get here."

"Okay. Bye, Becca!"

"What was that?" Dak raised an eyebrow.

"Hawk's got good news for us. I got to go to the studio. Do you… Do you want to come?"

"Sure."

(((Hawk Records)))

Madelyn and Dak walked into Hawks' office to see Michelle sitting in a chair glaring at Hawk. As if saying, 'Just tell me already!' Elizabeth sitting on the chair's arm, texting away, and Amber pacing, eager to know what was going on.

"Madelyn, you're here! … With Dak!" Hawk smiled wide when he saw the 'teen heartthrob.'

"Okay girls, guess what you get to do?"

"Uhm, meet Amanda Bynes?" Michelle asked.

"Get to have a pizza party!" Elizabeth jumped out of her spot on the chair and did a happy dance.

"Save the planet from evil gummy bears?" Amber laughed.

"Open a concert for Dak," Madelyn smirked.

Everyone but Madelyn and Dak gasped as their jaws dropped.

"Excuse me?" Hawk's eyes lit up with something evil.

"Dak wants us to be an opening act at his concert six days from now."

"Done and done! I have to plan the songs out!"

"Hawk, sir, you're forgetting why they are here," Rebecca nudged him in the side.

"Right! Girls, you get to make your first music video for Here's To Never Growing Up!"

Toxic Meltdown plus Dak cheered.

This day didn't turn out to be as long as Madelyn thought it would be.

That's all :] Hey! Have you hear Rule The World? BTR preformed it at SD! Along with a cover of The Beatles song, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and James and Kendall sang like 15 seconds of Single Ladies. Hahaha. I was going to put this up last night around 10pm, but FF wouldn't let me upload documents. -_- Buttt I did now so there ya go :] Now tonight I shall anxiously wait to see if Demi Lovato releases her single... :D
