Oh... And a warning: You have to read this chapter really carefully cuz if you don't you may get confused...

Deception
*Kendall Knight Pov*
I frowned when I heard K-Schmidt's plan. (Yeah, I called him K-Schmidt. It felt weird calling him Kendall. Besides, K-Schmidt sounds kinda cool, doesn't it?).
'Can't we just tell the truth?' I asked.
He scoffed. 'If we tell the truth, you would be branded the emotional guy who's in love with James Maslow. And James would be crushed by the critics.'
The frown never left my face. 'So my life depends on my acting skills right now?'
He smiled at me. 'Yup.'
I groaned. This definitely was not my best day ever.
'Fine.'
'Awesome. Now your name is Francis Knight, okay? Remember that.'
'I don't like the name Francis. It's weird.'
'And your middle name isn't?'
'Donald is not a weird,' I protested. 'Well fine. It's just a little weird. But how did you know that?'
He snickered. 'I didn't. I figured that if I had a weird middle name, you would too.'
I smiled. Maybe us being brothers wasn't so bad after all.
...
*No One's PoV*
Logan jumped when he felt his phone start to ring in his pocket. He pulled it out just as James slammed open the hotel door and ran into his room. He sighed. He didn't even want to know what Carlos did this time.
He answered the phone, surprised when he heard Kendall on the other line.
'Yes Kendall?' He said, flipping through the TV channels.
'Call Sarah and tell her I want a live interview with that news channel now.'
'What? Where?' He furrowed his brows in confusion as Kendall told him the address. 'In one hour.'
'Are you sure you know what you're doing?'
'Nope.'
'Kendall-'
'And tell Sarah she has a new temporary cast member for our show.'
'Wait what? Kendall?' Logan slammed the phone down in frustration when Kendall hung up on him.
...
*Kendall Knight PoV*
I squinted as K-Schmidt/Kendall (I really didn't know what to call him) led me out in the bright sun. I saw a large crowd of people outside looking restless.
'Those are the reporters. I told Logan only the one who was on the news, but the paparazzi is stupid. They like to mind everyone's business,' he whispered to me.
My eyes bulged. So many? 'Kendall,' I whispered back, tugging on his hand. 'I don't think I could do this anymore.' My heart was pounding in my chest.
'Don't worry yourself, Francis,' he said, making me grin.
As soon as the reporters saw us, they ran over. Kendall put a hand around my shoulders. 'Smile. Don't forget to smile. I'll say everything, but if they address any questions to you, go with the flow, okay?'
Those were his last words before the reporters bombarded us. Kendall raised his hand, silencing their chatter.
'Firstly, we would like to clear up this situation. Francis here,' he said, squeezing my shoulder, and I had to resist the urge to smile, 'was not arguing with James at all. James is not gay, neither is Francis.'
'So what were they doing?' a reporter butted in.
Kendall's grip tightened on my shoulder, and I could tell that he was resisting the urge to bitch out the reporter for interrupting him.
He smiled tightly. 'As you know, Big Time Rush is filming Season 3. In one of our new episodes, there was a new girl, who had a brother, who Francis played. James broke this girl's heart, and the brother has an argument with him in the show.'
A reporter raised her hand. 'What about,' she looked down in a piece of paper, 'when he said all those expletives?'
'Yeah,' another reporter butted in, 'they weren't on set. So why were they doing that?'
'I was having difficulties with my acting,' I said. 'James told me that I wasn't sounding convinced enough. I'm a new actor in the business, after all. So we were walking in the woods, and I was telling James about my problems in acting. We stopped walking, and told me to just let go, to pretend that I was the girl, and then maybe I'll understand exactly how the brother felt, if I know how the girl felt first.'
'So he just started to yell, pretending he was the girl, and I guess in the heat of the moment, you know, just letting everything go, he let out a few words that wasn't in the script,' Kendall finished.
The reporters nodded, some of them scribbling stuff down.
'But we've never seen you before,' a reporter said, nodding in my direction
'Did you see me before Big Time Rush?' Kendall said.
The reporter shrugged, taking it to consideration. After a few more questions, the reporters left, and K-Schmidt turned to me with a sunny smile.
'We did it!' he said, giving me a high five. 'Now it's time to meet the James, Logan and Carlos!'
James?
I stopped in the middle of the road. 'I-I don't think I can talk to James.'
He pulled me out of the road. 'Yes you can. You like him, he likes you.'
I blushed. 'I-I...'
He ignored me and dragged me towards his car, opening the door and pushing me in it. He got into it also and sped off.
...
*James PoV*
I was sitting in my room, stewing in a pot of self-misery when Logan came in. 'James you need to see this now.'
I shook my head. 'I don't wanna.'
He stalked over to me and grabbed my ear and dragged me to the living room. Before I could respond to that form of torture, a picture of the two Kendalls on the TV caught my attention. Tears dropped down my face as I heard both of them lie for me. No, for once I wasn't crying because I was sad, I was crying because I was happy.
Just then, the door banged open, and Kendall S. came in, followed by a Carlos who couldn't meet my eyes.
'Hey everyone,' Kendall said, sounding ridiculously overjoyed. 'I want y'all to meet my long lost brother.'
My eyebrows raised as a silhouette appeared in the doorway. Kendall had a long lost brother?
But that reaction was nothing compared to my reaction when I saw who that 'brother' was.
...
*Kendall Knight PoV*
Kendall and I were walking outside when we saw Carlos sitting in the lounge, lost in his own world. Kendall pulled him upstairs with us. He was being a little too happy for my liking now.
I followed him through the door, but he pushed me back outside. 'Let me give you a proper introduction,' he whispered.
So I waited, until I heard him say something about a long lost brother. I walked in the luxurious hotel room, my hands stuffed in my pockets, and my eyes cast down. I could feel the weight of everyone's stares, and I didn't even have to look up to know that James was leaning on a couch opposite the room. I could feel his gaze heavy upon me.
'Brother?' I heard a voice say, assuming it was Logan's (I was still afraid to look up). 'Kendall, what shit are you playing?'
Then Kendall launched into the long, long story about his adoption, blah blah blah.
And all that time I could still feel James' questioning gaze on me.
Was he sorry for what he had done? Was he going to apologize? Was he going to thank me for saving his sorry ass? Or was he just going to ignore me?
The last thought hurt so much, I pushed it out of my mind.
'So,' Carlos said, coming up to me. 'You're Kendall's long lost brother?'
I shrugged. 'I guess.'
A smile broke across his face and he pulled me into a bear hug. 'Welcome to the family,' he said, patting me on the back.
I hugged back awkwardly. Logan came and hugged me too, but James still hadn't acknowledged my existence.
I pushed the negative thoughts about James out of my mind and decided to be happy that I was finally meeting the band I loved.
'Hey Logan,' Kendall said. 'You have to call Sarah-'
'Sarah?' I butted in. 'As in Sarah and production?'
'Yeah,' Logan said, glancing over at me. 'Do you know them?'
I ignored his question. 'Oh my gosh. I have to meet Sarah!' When Kendall looked at me questioningly, I elaborated. 'You know, fucking Sarah and her smartass fucking mouth?'
He blushed and looked down. 'I can't believe you saw that. That entire thing was a mistake.'
'Of course I saw it. What kind of rusher would I be? I even have it downloaded on my computer. But let me tell you, that day, my friends didn't even talk to me because I couldn't shut up about how James... and y'all sounded so awesome cursing! Best day ever,' I said with a weak laugh, mentally chiding myself for that stupid slipup. I was totally going to say 'because I couldn't shut up about how sexy James sounded cursing', but luckily I saved myself in time.
Carlos laughed, and Kendall rolled his eyes. 'And now they'll never talk to you again because you'll never be able to shut up about actually talking to us in real.'
I shrugged. 'It's worth it.'
Logan smiled. 'Hey Kendall, what were you telling me about Sarah?'
'And her smartass fucking mouth,' I muttered, unable to stop myself.
Kendall looked embarrassed again, but he answered Logan. 'Did you tell her about Kendall?'
Logan nodded, then turned to me. 'You really have to get a new name.'
'Me? Why me? Why not him?' I asked, pointing to Kendall.
'Because I had my name before you,' he said, smirking at me.
'Whatever,' I said, rolling my eyes.
Suddenly a soft rumbling sound interrupted us. I looked around, at first confused, then I grinned when I realized it was just Carlos' stomach. The Latino blushed and grinned, embarrassed.
'Sorry. Didn't have breakfast yet,' he said sheepishly.
Logan and Kendall laughed. 'C'mon, Carlitos. Let's go for some Starbucks and corndogs,' Logan said. 'Anyone else wants to come?'
'I'll come with,' K-Schmidt said, and he went with them out the door.
I stood there, wallowing in the silence that they had left James and me in. Was he even going to say anything?
I wanted him so bad, but I was afraid that he would break me again. I was so fucking confused, I didn't know what to do. But what I did know was that I was not standing here forever. My stomach gave a soft gurgle. I didn't have much of a breakfast. Maybe I should go with Kendall and the others.
'Um,' I said awkwardly, 'I didn't have breakfast, so, um, I think I'm going with them.'
I turned on my heel and was walking to the door when I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I turned and looked up into beautiful hazel eyes that were locked on mine.
'Kendall, wait. I need to talk to you.'
Boom. Hehe. So how was it? Do you think they're gonna do something bad *winks*? Or is James gonna fuck this chance too? :D Oh yeah... and do y'all want anyone else to get together? Like, do you want Kendall to like someone or Logan or Carlos? It's your choice :D I'll just write it :D Tell me if u do!
Please, s'il vous plait, por favour review! xxx
