Taylor Shine- Aw thanks! Yeah, see, I didn't know where to go after because that was a big turnover point in the story, but I have some stuff up my sleeve. Hehe ;) Plus people can be surprised and all since they don't expect anything coming. And I've got plenty other characters to involve now. Here is the update! I literally stared at an empty document for about half an hour until something finally came to me. It did help that Big Time Rush just happened to be on TV, so then I decided to show Logan's POV. Enjoy!
Can I just say that before you read, I really just want to take a second and thank all of you. I want to thank my reviewers,, followers, and people who favorite this story. This is the first fan fiction I have posted on here, and getting this kind of a review is great. I love going to my manage stories page and seeing the number of reviews increase. And all of the other numbers too. It lets me know that people truly do enjoy my writing, which is great since I said I am only in high school. If any of you want to know what grade or anything, I'm open. I don't really care about that and all. But reading your comments make me smile and realize that I am doing a good job. Therefore, I shouldn't doubt my writing. So, thanks everyone. It does help :D
Chapter 11: Surprise!
LOGAN'S POV:
As much I love all of my friends, they are all like emotional roller coasters. Well, the amount of feelings from everyone is unbearable. Krista and Kendall are always together, but right now they're in the middle of a fight. I think it's their first one. But it's silly that they are fighting if they don't know what happened to James and Sam yet. Riley and Carlos are all cuddly with each other because they have "crushes" on one another. It was kind of cute, but now they won't stop laughing and holding onto each other. And then there's Sam and James. Both realized they love each other but are too scared to say it. So who knows what's happening outside right now…
But then there's me. The only one in the group without someone. Well, James doesn't technically have Sam, but he still loves a girl. Of course I'm happy for everyone, but sometimes it's hard being the only single one. Sure I've been on a few dates, but I haven't been able to find that special someone. While everyone else has…
Anyway, back to new years. While Riley and Carlos were drooling over each other on the carpet, I was lying face down on the couch with a pillow in my face. Kendall and Krista was talking, well yelling, in the kitchen. There was so much noise that none of us could hear the front door open again.
The sound of the door closing made me lean off the couch and look into the coat room. There, I saw Sam and James standing together holding hands. They looked freezing, but happy. Sam was in her tank top and booty shorts while James had only his dark jeans on. I jumped off the couch and smacked Carlos in the head, making him whine in pain. "OW!" he cried out, rubbing his head. Riley's hand went up to his fuzzy head to help with the pain. "What was that for?"
I glared at Carlos and titled my head towards the coat room. "Look whose back" I said out of the corner of my mouth, causing Carlos and Riley to quickly look over at the two. Sam and James spotted us looking and smiled at each other before walking over, swaying hands in the process.
Riley immediately saw their hands and jumped up from her spot on the couch. "OH MY GOD!" she squealed, tugging on Carlos' arm to get him up. "YAY! Carlos, GET UP!"
Carlos stood up and stared at Sam and James. "What?" he asked, oblivious to everything that was going on. "What happened out there?"
James smiled at Sam and squeezed her hand tighter, pulling her closer to him so he could wrap an arm around her shoulder. "Sam and I said we love each other and now we're together" James proudly stated, turning Sam and kissing her on the forehand before letting her go. A huge smile was on his face, by far the biggest one I've ever seen on him.
The couple's love was cut shorter by Riley running towards Sam, her arms open wide. "OMG CONGRATS!" she yelled, giving Sam a tight hug that left her paralyzed. "Who would have thought the plan would actually work!"
Sam pulled away from Riley and shook her head, a small chuckle escaping from her half smile. "Thanks, girl" she said, placing a hand on Riley's arm. "But hey, that game wasn't nice! Even though I did find out James loves me back…" She hugged James from the side and trailed her finger down his arm, landing back in his hand to grab her locket. "Can you put this on for me again, babe?" Sam asked her boyfriend, handing the locket up to him.
"Sure" James replied, sliding the locket right back on her and clicking it into place. After pushing her hair back over her shoulder, he grabbed her from around the waist and hugged her. His head was on her shoulder, rocking her back and forth. James opened his mouth to speak again. "Yeah that game was fun at first, but the end was out of control! Did all of you know about that?" he questioned, his eyebrows rising in the air at us.
I swallowed quickly before answering. "Yeah, kinda…" I admitted, putting my hands in my pockets. Carlos was standing next to Riley, looking down at the floor and moving his feet. Riley rubbed her lips together, her eyes darting all around. "Well, Krista said she had an idea and it had to do with the game, so we just went along. We're really sorry for that, but we just wanted you two to tell each other how you feel. And now look where you are…"
Sam sighed and nodded her head, looking up at James. "I guess we should be thanking you instead…" she laughed, squeezing James' arm. "So, thanks…" Sam flashed a warm smile to all of us, making us feel a lot better. She seemed happy now, especially since she had James in her life.
We were just about to respond when a sad Krista came walking out of the kitchen. "Have Sam and James come in ye-" She stopped when she saw them standing together in each others' arms. "KENDALL!"Krista called, her eyes wide and smile growing. "SEE LOOK! IT WORKED! AND YOU WERE CHASTIZING ME ABOUT IT. THEY'RE HERE. TOGETHER!"
Kendall came peeking from around the kitchen, his eyebrow raised in curiosity. "Really?" he asked, walking over to Krista. "Wow. It actually worked?" he exclaimed, placing his hand on Krista's shoulder. "Did not see that coming…"
Krista smacked him in the arm, causing him to wince back in pain. "Come on, Kendall!" she puffed out, sounding like she didn't believe him. "You were the one who said that they both loved each other that Sunday at the studio! Do NOT tell me you didn't see this…"
James' mouth opened wide in response, still not letting go of Sam. "That's why you were all acted weird after I came into the break room!" he spoke with a snap, connecting two and two together. "How much have you been talking about us?"
"Ever since that Saturday you called us to say you weren't going to the studio" Carlos replied, looking around at everyone else who kept nodding. "We needed good gossip! And your situation with Sam was kind of a lot to deal with…"
A small snicker came from James' mouth. "Yeah, you know I heard you two gossiping when I went to search for Krista and Kendall…"
I closed my mouth and shrugged my shoulders. "We were worried!" I spoke, my hand gesturing to everyone standing around me. "Plus we thought you left… Did you hear everything I said?"
James bit his lip in trying to remember. "Um, the last thing I remember is Carlos asking if Sam felt the same way. And then I left because I got mad you were discussing my love life."
Sam gasped and glared at Carlos and I. "Hey!" she snapped back, her hands grabbing James' arms. "Am I really that interesting to gossip about?"
I shook my head and tried to defend myself. "No no! We just had a lot to talk about because of that that whole break-up and the fact that you told me you loved him." Once the words escaped my mouth, I realized that I said too much. Backing up, I held my hands up in defense. "Sorry! Didn't mean for that to slip!"
Sam just shrugged her shoulders and burrowed into James' back. "No, I'm fine now" Sam explained, her voice sounding fine. "That whole break-up is a thing in the past. And yeah, I kind of forgot about that. Well he knows now anyway. Wow, I said I loved him a lot didn't I? Let's see, to Krista, Logan, apparently that time James brought me up to my bed, and then that time on the phone right after my break-up when I was talking to James…"
Everyone was completely stunned by that last comment Sam threw in. Riley just kept blinking her eyes like she was shocked. "Wait, you told him you loved him over a week ago right after your break-up?" she gasped, not being to understand everything.
Sam just nodded her head and bit her lip, embarrassed that she knew this over a week ago. James looked like he was in deep thought, his brain connecting everything together again. "Everything makes sense now!" he shouted, happy as can be. "I heard you say that, but I thought I was hearing things. I was in a state of such shock that I didn't hang up the phone!"
Krista stepped in the middle of everyone and put her hands out. "Woah woah woah!" she started to say, shaking her head around. "So that was the time you mentioned when we had our girl talk?" she directed towards Sam.
"Yeah…" Sam mumbled out, looking down at James' arms around her. "Wait, you heard me? Man, this would have been a lot easier if I knew that before!"
Carlos just grinned and laughed away like the crazy Latino he was. "But it's fun to see how it all led up to this!" he cheerfully spoke. "I mean look at how close you two are now!"
James smiled and spun Sam around again. "Hell yeah we are!" he said right before he gave Sam a long kiss on the lips. I retracted away, not wanting to see all the affection. After they were done, I looked back to everyone. James shook his finger like he remember something. "Oh, by the way… Happy New Year everyone!" he yelled, winking at Sam before kissing her on the cheek.
Kendall 's eyes got huge, realizing what time it was. "Damnit!" he whispered, digging in his pockets for something.
Krista turned around and looked at him weirdly. "What is it, hun?" she asked, her tone gentle and worried.
I looked and Carlos and Riley, who were holding hands and grinning at Kendall. I knew what was going to happen. I don't think Sam and James did, though. Well probably only Sam. She looked so confused, her eyebrows scrunched together. James just bent down and whispered in her ear, kissing her neck quickly before resting his head on hers.
Kendall was shaking at this point playing with something in his pockets. He grabbed Krista's hands and held them right into his. Her eyes were scared, wondering if he was going to break-up with her or give her bad news. Boy was she in for a surprise…
He started stroking her hands, his right thumb stroking her right cheek gently. "Krista, I know we've been only dating for seven months, but it feels like forever. It feels like I have known you my whole life, connecting with you in every way I could. Today was a little rough, but we were quickly able to get over it. That shows how much we love each other. We are so compatible, from our humor to our love for one another. This love we have is so strong, and I know I feel it whenever I'm with you. You my other half, and with you, there is no me. We go perfectly together, and I just want to make this official. So, Krista Duncan…" he got down on his right knee, holding a little black box in his left hand, "Will you marry me?" The box opened to reveal a beautiful diamond engagement ring, perfectly fitted to match Krista's finger.
Krista was dumbfounded, the tears rolling down her cheeks as she stared at Kendall with both hands covering her face. She quickly wiped them away as she nodded and smiled a priceless grin, whispering the words "Yes!" before holding her left hand out. Kendall slowly slipped the ring on, standing up and hugging her to stop the crying. He leaned in and gave her a slow, romantic kiss, celebrating the fact that they just got engaged.
We were all clapping, Carlos whistling and Riley squealing in happiness. She ran up to Krista right after and gave her a hug. Sam was on the verge of tears, so glad that her best friend just got engaged to the love of her life. James was smiling as well, clapping and laughing as Kendall picked Krista up and spun her in his arms. "You just had to upstage me, didn't you?" James joked, making a reference to him and Sam. "Good job, Schmidt. You got me!"
Kendall just laughed and walked over to James, patting him on the back. "Couldn't let you have all the attention this year!" he replied back, making his way back over to Krista to hold her in his arms.
I just stood there, clapping and chuckling along with everyone else. "Wow…" I started to say, shaking my head in surprise. "2013 is going to be an intense and romantic year!"
Carlos threw his fist up in the air yelled "You got that right!" before dipping Riley over and giving her a kiss right on the lips. She immediately responded by wrapping her arms around him, not letting go of the kiss. We just turned away and smirked; they were definitely a couple now.
James saw the look on my face and finally let go of Sam so she could run up to Krista and squeak along with her. "Don't worry buddy. You'll find someone" he said, slapping me across the back.
"Easier said than done, my friend" I replied, in my best British accent. He just rubbed my back and patted it again, laughing along with me. After a few seconds, we still didn't move. "Uh James" I awkwardly said, realizing his hand was still on my shoulder. "You can let go now…"
James shook his head and came back to reality. "Huh?" he asked, still in his trance. "Oh yeah, sorry…" He removed his hand and brushed his legs. "I should go put on my shirt..." He referenced to his chest and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, I'm kinda cold now…"
Sam just giggled and walked over to James, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. "I like it" she said in a deep, sultry tone. James turned around and smirked, raising an eyebrow. They both took off, holding onto each other tightly while heading in the living room. Riley and Carlos were holding hands and moving to the kitchen, following right behind the now engaged couple who were so happy.
In a matter of seconds, I was left all alone. Like I always would be. This was starting to get too comfortable…
I told you I had more stuff up my sleeve! I hoped you liked that! I just really wanted them to get engaged so I could move on with the story. And now they were! So, onto more chapters! I'll post the new one tomorrow (after I typed it and finished my midterms in the morning). Ooh, wish me luck on those! English and Foods first, oh joy! Ugh…
