Before you read... I changed a lot in the other chapters so think about rereading them? This one doesn't mention anything that I changed so you can read it without reading them.
Carlos shyly slid his hand into Elizabeth's, intertwining them as they walked out of the Palm Woods. The couple blush. Elizabeth instinctively leaned into him causing both of their faces to turn a brighter red.
"So... Since the theater is so close, I thought we could walk" Carlos more asked then stated.
"That's cool with me," the brunette smiled at him.
"I'm relieved to hear that because the girls I've dated here have all complain if I don't have a limo to take us. Even if it was two buildings down!"
Elizabeth flinched at the Latino's outburst, "Could we not talk about your Los Angeles girls. Plus, you shouldn't have to worry about that with me. If you haven't forgotten we are both simple, down to Earth teens from Minnesota."
"Right," Carlos rolled the 't.' "How are things back home?"
"Same old, same. Uhmm... Let's not talk about home... It's just not... Yeah. Anyways. How's life here?"
"Great! We are about to start working on own third album any time now!"
"That's awesome," Elizabeth smiled. "Hope there are no hard feelings about us working with Hawk," a slight pout formed on Elizabeth's lips.
"No! Never. We were shocked at first but you guys are our friends from childhood. We could never hold that against you guys."
Elizabeth sighed, "Some things are though."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing. I hope you know I still don't forgive Kendall or James. I'm sorry, but I'm a grudge holder. Amber and Madelyn are my best friends."
"I know. James and Kendall are my best friends but that separ-" Carlos was interrupted by a loud 'BANG!' and a sequel come from Elizabeth. Who had clung his chest. "Why don't we hurry to that movie?"
Elizabeth nodded her head rapidly. As they walked she scanned the passing stores. Her hazel eyes widening when they landed on a certain store. A candy shop of various candies. "Rainbow Veins..." she muttered to herself. A second sequel passed her lips as she felt rain attacking her head. "Can we skip the movie and go there until the rain stops?" Her tan hands pointing to the candy shop.
"Sure." Carlos stared at her. Her eyes lit up like a child as she giggled and ran into the store. He snapped out of his trans and followed behind.
"Ohmygosh! This place is amazing!" He heard Elizabeth exclaim the second he entered the store.
He smiled at her before whispering, "But you're more amazing…" he pulled out his phone and texted Madelyn.
(((With Lucy and Jakub)))
Jakub tapped his foot impatiently. Lucy said she wasn't that far behind him and to go to her apartment. He had been standing here for half an hour! Okay... Maybe five minutes... or one minute. His eyes lit up as the elevator doors opened up and there stood the gorgeous girl he was waiting for in all her rocker glory . Her pink strikes now neon baby blue.
She stepped out of the elevator, taking in the site of the man, she would never admit, missed. His amazing blue-green eyes, slight curled black hair, gauged ears.
They met each other halfway. Their arms automatically going around each other. Her thin lips met his in a sweet kiss. Bet you're thinking they are acting like a couple? Lucy didn't want to be in a relationship when they first started hooking up because of her past relationships. Jakub on the other hand when they met just wanted hook ups. Some where down the road he gained feelings for Lucy. The same thing for her.
"I really hate when you go on out of town gigs for several days," he mutter against her lips.
Lucy sighed, pulling away. She gave him a look before going to her apartment door and unlocking it. Jakub followed behind, wrapping his arms around her waist as the both entered the small area. He kicked the door closed behind him.
"Uhh. Clearly you don't because you were hitting on that girl down by the pool."
"You never said I couldn't. I tried turning this into a real relationship before you left. You turned it down."
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes before attaching their lips together once again.
(((Meanwhile with Amber/Kendall)))
Amber blinked blankly at the spot were Jakub had been. 'Gosh… What was he in a hurry for?' she thought to herself. She checked her surroundings, looking for something to do. She noticed most people where inside the Palm Woods lobby instead of outside. Through the corner of her eye she spotted Kendall staring at her across the pool.
Turning fully face him she said "What?" with a mean glare.
The blonde hid his hurt eyes immediately and shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry," he mumbled as he stood up, walking away. Before he entered the hotel he turned around, "By the way, people went in because it is going to rain soon." He walked through the doors, not looking back.
Amber looked up at the sky. It was dark, cloudy, and she could feel the moister in the air. She went inside to find Michelle.
"Lawwwwsooonnn!" she looked around the people that where staring at her funny. "What?" she rolled her eyes.
(((In The Arcade)))
Camille casually walked up to James and Logan as they put their cue sticks away from they're resent game of pool. She checked her texted from Madelyn one last time before she approached them. "Hey guys," she looked around them. "Where's Michelle?" her eyes glued on Logan.
"Camille, we broke up. There's no need to be jealous of Michelle. She doesn't even like me."
"I'm not jealous. I was just asking because I figured you guys would be dating by now." Logan went to say something but she cut him off, "I was thinking… Do you guys wanna go to Karaoke Dokie in like twenty minutes?"
"Uhh…" Logan looked around the room for a reason not to.
"Sure!" James beamed.
"Logan?" Camille smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"Okay…"
"Great!" Camille giggled and skipped away. She left the arcade area and made her way to the lobby. "Madelyn," she made a complete stop in front of the brunette, "they're coming." she smiled.
"They?" Madelyn made a face.
"Logan and James…?" Camille was confused. That was the plan.
"James? Ughh! Why did you ask him," Madelyn groaned.
"He was with Logan and it needed to be a friendly invited and not one that said 'I want to get back together' right?"
"Yeah. It's okay, Camille. I can spend one evening with him," Madelyn sighed.
"Okay. I told them I'd see them in twenty. Is that a good time?"
"Yeah. Michelle and Amber should be coming back from getting the corn dogs and fries."
"See you later Maddie," Camille left to go get dressed.
Madelyn went to sigh but cut her self off with a squeal when someone poked her hips, "Dude!" she turned around. "Kendall!" she smacked him in the chest. "jerk…"
The blonde just laughed at his sister. "So… Where's Dak?"
"You saw him leave the studio so he could go hang out with his cousin and his friends so his sister could chill for a little bit. Which was hours ago Kendall. It's 8 o'clock."
"Oh. Cool, I guess…"
"Kendall, what did you want?"
"Nothing. It seemed like a perfect chance to scare you. See you later, baby sis!" Kendall walked away.
"I'm not a baby!" she yelled after him. "Whatever," she grumbled to herself, going to 3J.
(((3J)))
Madelyn smiled ten minutes later as she crashed onto the turquoise couch they bought. She had changed into her Mango jeans with distressed effect, 2-in-1 Soul Cal shirt (grey tank and red off-shoulder top), and her red red Supra skytop shoes. She curled her hair and straightened her bangs. Thick eyeliner covered her eyes.
Madelyn had gotten A Walk to Remember out for Carlos and Elizabeth to watch, seeing as it was Elizabeth's favorite movie. Just as she was about to doze off Michelle and Amber busted through the door.
"Order up!" Amber yelled and Michelle giggled at her. They sat the food in the kitchen. "I'm going to go hang out with little Katie for a bit. I'll see you guys later," Amber waved as she left the apartment.
"Did you guys get soaked?"
"Nah. We didn't even get wet. The rain let up a lot… Why are you all dressed up?"
"We are going to Karaoke Dokie," Madelyn said as she checked Michelle's outfit.
Michelle was wearing a grey Abby Dawn' s 'Music Is My Boyfriend' shirt, dark Demin shorts, neon yellow heels, and a python belt with a neon yellow clasp. Her blonde hair was straight and out of her hair. Michelle's make up from the morning was still on.
Madelyn grinned evilly, "Let's go!" she grabbed the blonde's wrist and pulled her out the door.
(((Karaoke Dokie)))
"You know… I hear this place has got awesome food," Michelle said as she sat down at a table.
Madelyn nodded in agreement as she hum'd the tune to Thunder by Boys Like Girls. It was Boys Like Girls themed night. They just had music playing in the background as they waited for people to volunteer to sing.
Soon both girls broke out into singing:
"Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer!" Madelyn giggled as she made hand motions. "Do you know you're unlike any other?" Michelle put on a fake serious face and held Madelyn's shoulder. "You'll always be my thunder, and I said," Madelyn put on a serious face as well and pointed at Michelle. They both laughed and pulled away both singing, "Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors. I don't wanna ever love another. You'll always be my thunder, so bring on the rain."
"Oh! Look! There's Michelle and Madelyn!" they heard a girl yell before they turned around to see who it was.
Camille was pulling a blushing Logan to the table and a fading smile James walking behind them. "We'll just sit here with you guys," Camille smiled as she shoved Logan into the seat next to Michelle and she sat on the other side of him. That left James the seat next to Madelyn. Both brunettes sighed.
"Nic-" Madelyn was cut off when a pair of hands covered her eyes from behind. "Uhmm?"
"Guess who?" a deep voice whispered in her ear.
"Uhh… You got me?" she said, clueless. The hands moved and her eyes were on James. His face looking annoyed. She turned around.
"Really, Maddie? You don't know my voice by now?" Dak said.
"Oh. Uh. Hi," she smiled at him.
"My cousin and his friends wanted to chill here. Do you want to meet them?" he pointed to a table that was starting at them. Two girls and a boy waved.
"Sure," she more asked then stated as she looked over at Camille. The black hair boy pulled her out of her seat and pulled her over to his table.
"Guys this is Madelyn Knight," Dak smiled and Madelyn waved.
"Hey," she said.
"Maddie, this is my cousin, Beck Oliver," he pointed to the only boy. Beck smiled. "These are his friends, Cat Valentine," he pointed to the hyper red head, "and Tori Vega." the other girl smiled at Madelyn.
"What are-" Dak got cut off when they heard the DJ say:
"We got ourselves a singer! Names?"
Madelyn turned and her mouth dropped.
"James Diamond."
Madelyn glared at him.
"From Big Time Rush?" the DJ asked and James nodded. "What Boys Like Girls song are you gonna sing?"
"She's Got A Boy Friend Now," he smirked when she saw Madelyn's jaw drop.
"Excuse me," Madelyn said to Dak and his friends as she went back to her table. Michelle patted her back.
James gave his million dollar smile and started singing.
(Whoa)
We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out and the girl on my shoulders
Told me everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)
Madelyn had a ticked off face on. James stared at her while he sang. Doing a few hand movements and a few dance moves.
Yeah maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending
Singing everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep inside
Stars stuck in my eyes
James shrugged and twisted his feet. His eyes now on a blonde winking. He jumped off the stage and walked around as he sang.
Now she's got a boyfriend
James winked at Madelyn
And I've got a rock band
He patted Logan on the back and continued to moves around the floor, making his way back to the stage.
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
He pretended his hands were on a wheel and turned
But she's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
He looked over at Dak
Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away
He leaned down on the stage and took a red head girls chin in his hand, but shook his head no, stand back up straight.
I'm thinking everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)
Maybe I thought I could sweep in and
Sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
James' eyes were glued on Madelyn again. Dak was being obliviously as to what was happening. Beck and Tori looked at each other. They had an ideal of what was going on. Cat giggled and got up to dance,
Thinking everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)
The streets keep holding on but now she's so far gone
James pointed to Cat and winked at her when he saw she was dancing. Madelyn was beyond ticked off now. 'What is he doing?' She thought to herself.
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's on the west coast and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
James jumped off the stage again and went to where he was standing in front of Madelyn.
Take me back to you somehow
And everything that I know now it's so hard
I tore us apart
He placed his hand on her cheek and gave a sad smile. His eyes saying sorry.
Take me back to feeling like the world
Would just keep dealing me the right cards
Now you're just so far
He leg go of her and walked backwards before turning around and going back to the stage.
And I'm 23 and invincible
Got the world figured out and a bird on my shoulders
Told me everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And when is everything gonna be alright?
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
Cause then she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
But she's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
Take your
Take your breath away
Take your
Take your breath away
He did the rest of the performance on the stage and did simple dance moves with the microphone stand. Everybody in the place cheered for him but Madelyn and Michelle, who had stormed off to the restroom.
