Pain shot through me as I fell on the ground. "Ugh! Stupid dream, stupid bed." I mumbled trying to get up, but my feet were tangled in the covers so I just continued to fall on my face… I continued scrambling to get to my feet, as I heard the door open. I turned, while again still falling to see Mandi was laughing her head off.
"Are you going to help me or not." I mumbled, finally get my feet untangled, but saw she was still laughing. "Thanks for the help." I said, pushing her out the door and slamming it so I could get changed. I had a strange feeling that I needed to get dressed like I was going to the beach, and since it was the same I had with the keys and having Mandi drive I decided to follow it.
After I finished changing, I opened the door and saw that Mandi wasn't there anymore. I shrugged knowing she had better things to do then annoy me, and decided that I should probably head out to Katie's. Trusting that I get that feeling again when I find her place.
I ran into the gray convertible, enjoying the feel of the wind rushing threw my hair, as I drove with the top down. I was threw worrying and trying to find out what happening and just enjoy it. I mean I get to skip high school, and seems I'm doing pretty well though I have no idea what I do. But I shrugged it off as I pulled up to a bunch of apartments.
I waited in the car seeing a curly Brunette running towards me. "Connor there you are, thought you left like everyone else." She cheered, reassuring me that she was Katie. I was about to ask but just shrugged it off, as I pulled out of the apartment complex. "So where to?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as she started playing with the radio.
"Um… I don't know." She answered changing stations rapidly. "Wait!" I shouted as I heard Big Time Rush on the radio, earning a questioning look from her. OK bad move on my part, Katie was never that big off a fan of them in the first place and now that were 20, well she's actually 21, I doubt her opinions changed.
"Um… did you eat breakfast yet?" I mumbled, changing the station myself, making it look like I didn't care about the band I was in love with. "No?" She said more as a question, probably still questioning my little out bust. "Alright to IHOP it is!" I cheered, smiling when I saw her cheer along.
I pulled into to IHOP rolling my eyes seeing Katie flirting with the 'Hotty Mc. Hotters' as she called him. "OK, nice flirting with the waiter." I mumble, laughing seeing as she started chocking on her water. "Man Connor. Really not while I'm drinking." She said in between coughs her voice sounding a bit hoarse.
I laughed shaking my head. "Yeah, but then it wouldn't be as funny." I said in between laughs. Feeling her intense glare, I lifted up my menu and acted like I was looking at it. Soon the waiter came back for another round of flirting with Katie. Rolling my eyes, I pulled out my phone and texted Mandi to see how everything was going.
'It's good, should be ready about 1 p.m.'
'Ok, thanks Mandi!' I sent back, and then looked up to see Katie and the waiter were still flirting.
After what felt like hours we finally were done with breakfast. Pulling out my phone OI was shocked to she that it was 11:30. We spent 3 hours in there, I thought shoving the phone back into my pocket. "Ok, were to next!" Katie exclaimed jumping into the car. "Well, it's your birthday. Why don't we go get you some more mature clothes for 21 year olds?" I said, starting the car. "Sweet to the mall!" Katie shouted, I just simply nodded and headed off towards the mall.
I dropped to my knees exhausted, "To many bags." I whizzed looking at the 20 bags I had to carry. "Oh come on it's not that bad." Katie said skipping over holding one bag, which only held lip stick. "That's it I'm charging you now for being your pack mule, 20 bucks missy." I said holding out my hand.
"No way." Katie protest, glaring at me. "Fine then." I mumbled standing up leaving the bags on the ground. "Wait, Connor! Please!" Katie whined calling after me. But I just continued my way ahead of her not stopping. "Fine I'll give you 20 bucks." I turned around smirking holding out my hands, then shoving the 20 in my wallet, and then picked up the bags.
"Alright" I said walking towards the exit, and then stopped. "Oh man I forgot something at my house." I mumbled looking towards Katie, seeing she was falling for it. "Can we go back to my house please?" Giving her the puppy dog eyes that she always fell for. "Fine." At that I started skipping to the exit, shouting thank you over my shoulder.
Once I finished shoving all her bags in the trunk, I sent a quick text to Mandi saying that we'll be there in 5 minutes, after a few seconds I got a response saying that it was great since everything is set up. Starting the car I smiled over at Katie as I pulled out of the parking lot and went back towards my house. Once there I couldn't hold my excitement, and run onto the front porch looking over at her shouting. "Come on Katie!"
"Really Connor, it's just your apartment." She mumbled, walking onto the front step. I shrugged her off, and tried holding my excitement as I opened the door. "Surprise!" Everyone shouted welcoming us into the home. "OMG, thanks so much!" Katie exclaimed, as she gave me a back breaking hug.
"Ok, don't choke the girl." Scar laughed, I send her a glare but mouth 'thank you' when Katie let go off me to run over to her.. "OMG, Scar. I thought you were in Florida!" Katie exclaimed bringing the her into a hug. "Yeah all part of Connor's plan. I mean what kind of surprise B –day party." Scarlett laughed hugging her back. How could she still breath, I kept asking myself seeing that she wasn't dying from the hug.
"Hey come on Scar's not your only friend." Harley said, tapping Katie's shoulder. "OH I'm so sorry Harley." She replied before bringing her too into a hug." "And Mandi, I thought you were at another one of your peace retreats." Katie yelled, before she pulled the blonde into a hug.
"You girls are the best ever!" She exclaimed. I couldn't help but smile seeing how happy Katie was, I felt proud that I made his happen. But our conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. "It's probably the pizza guy, I'll be right back." I mumbled walking to the door, opening the fiddling with my wallet looking for a ten. "So how much are the pizzas again?"
"Pizza?" My head shot up, I knew that voice from somewhere. Shocked seeing who it was I tried my best to hold back a gasp. I couldn't believe it… It… It was Big Time Rush! Hey, don't judge me I'm 14 on the inside. "Oh sorry I thought you were the pizza guy, and um…so that's why…" I stuttered trying to think of what to say, wanting to hit myself for being so dumb.
"Oh its ok, we kinda got lost on our way to are concert and were wondering if you can give us directions or something." The blonde, with the cute eyebrows said. I looked to the ground tucking a bit of my brown hair behind my ear, nodding trying to hide the blush from the hot boy band. "Come on Connor I want my pizza, why hello there." Katie said looking at the boy band.
"Uh, why don't you guys come in, and I'll help you find what you're looking for in a few minutes." I mumbled my face grew redder by the second. The one brunette was about to protest till the blonde stopped him. "Sure, that be great." He said smiling before walking into the house the boys following close behind.
"Really Connor, BTR?" Katie whispered to me, after we were both sure the boys were out of ear shot. "I mean I would have been happy with just Johnny Deep." I laughed remembering how in 6th grade we always fought over who'd marry Johnny, which ending up with us both laughing and agreeing to share him or let him pick. "Katie, you know what you can have Johnny. I'll just have Kendall." I said, before racing off to the leaving room, hoping she didn't see my blush.
As I headed into the room were all the games were set up, I had the strangest feeling of déjà vu. Ever since I entered the house with Katie, it all seemed like this happened before. But I just shrugged it off, getting paper and a pen making everyone sing their names on it.
"Why the names on paper?" Katie asked after I pout them all in a hat. "Well were playing Rocken' group and we need teams." I replied, picking names out of the hat. Getting a nod in response "Ok Scarlete, wait where is she?" I said noticing my random friend wasn't here. But I didn't have to look for long, since she ran in with the tiara on her head. "I'm birthday princess!" She screamed jumping on the couch.
"Scarlett Mckinley Rice! Give me that crown, I told you it was for Katie!" I screamed running after here. Handing the hat to Chris, my little brother, before chasing after. "But I want to wear it!" She shouted running away from me, knocking over a few chairs trying to slow me down. "It's not your birthday!" I yelled jumping over the one of the chairs that she knocked down.
"Come on please!" She shouted as she ran into the back, running over to the pool? I stopped a second to look at the pool, but snapped out of it and went back to chasing Scar. "Sorry, maybe when you turn 21!" I shouted finally catching up to her. But I to much momentum and when I tried to stop I knock into making us both lose our balance.
"Mandi catch!" I yelled throwing her the tiara, before both me and Scar feel into the pool cashing a huge splash. I quickly resurfaced to she that Scar was laughing her head off, but instead of staring at her like I usually would I started laughing too. "You two are crazy." Harley mumbled as she walked over to us, offering us a hand.
I took it, but sharing a quick look with Scarlett we both pulled Harley and Mandi in, and started to laugh our heads off. When they came to the surface they both tried glaring at us. "Connor Ann Marie Reich you are so dead!" Harley exclaimed, but soon lost it and started to laugh causing all of us to laugh again. "Come on we better get out." Mandi said, as we all followed her.
I pulled off my shirt to start rinning it out when I saw a weird look on Scarlett's face. "What?" I asked wondering what she was staring at. But soon caught on as I looked down at my bikini. "It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini, That she wore for the first time today. An itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka-dot bikini, So in the blanket she wanted to stay!" We both sang, soon Mandi and Harley joined in.
After we died off walked inside seeing that everyone was playing Rocken' group. I hid in the hallway waiting for the song to end. After Katie's group was done Scar walked getting everyone's attention. "Hey guess what?" She shouted, after a few seconds I walked in sing with Harley, Scar, and Mandi. "It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini, That she wore for the first time today. An itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka-dot bikini, So in the blanket she wanted to stay" Soon everyone joined in, only to be stopped when Katie threw a towel at my face yelling. "Put a shirt on!"
I rolled my eyes, holding up the shirt in my hand and put it on. "So who's next?" I asked taking a seat on the couch. "You, Mandi, Harley, and Scarlett." As soon as Katie said her names Scar jumped for the guitar shouting that she was going to play it. "Uh, idiot theirs two guitars." Harley mumbled, picking up the bass as Mandi took the drums. "Alright, guess I'm second guitar" I mumbled picking up the other guitar handing all of them the head sets for singing.
"Ok, and since you're the second one you can be the lead singer." Mandi replied, as she went to pick a song. We all laughed as she paused on one of the Big Time Rush songs. We all looked at the boys at the same time. "Please?" I asked pouting, I could have sworn I saw Kendall blush, but it must have been my imagination. "Why not it be interesting." He mumbled, we all nodded and started to play the song.
(Connor Scar Mandi All)
Get a call on a random afternoon
I pick it up and I see that it's you
Like my heart, you were breaking the news, you say
It's over, it's over, it's over.
Heading out, cause your not on my mind
All my friends are gonna see me tonight
Staying here until the sun starts the rise,
and I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna...
Dance hard, laugh more, turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar! Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do, anything that I have to
'til I forget about...
Jump up, fall down, gotta play it loud now
Don't care, my head's spinning all around now
I swear I'll do, anything that I have to...
'til I forget about you!
'til I forget about you!
And you thought, I'd be here on my own
Waiting for you to knock on my door
Since you left I don't wait by the phone
I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving
Found a place where I can lose myself
And just leave your memory on the shelf
See I'm fine, no I don't need nobody else
Cause I'm, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going...
Dance hard, laugh more, turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar! Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do, anything that I have to
'til I forget about...
Jump up, fall down, gotta play it loud now
Don't care, my head's spinning all around now
I swear I'll do, anything that I have to...
'Til I forget about you!
Spending money like you don't mean a thing
Going crazy, now don't even think
I'm losing my mind, It's all I can do
'til I forget about you
Dance hard, laugh more, turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar! Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do, anything that I have to
'til I forget about...
Jump up, fall down, gotta play it loud now
Don't care, my head's spinning all around now
I swear I'll do, anything that I have to...
'til I forget about you!(you)
'til I forget about you
'til I forget about you
'til I FORGET ABOUT YOU!
I smiled at the end of the song seeing that we got 100%. "Ha, feels like we only played this yesterday." I laughed when I saw the score. "Yeah." Scar agreed placing down the guitar. "Wait, Hey Scar what time is it?" I asked laughing at the confused glances we were getting. "CAKE TIME!" She shouted running off to towards the kitchen, everyone one soon leaving slowly until I was left alone with the boys.
I looked at them trying to force back the blush that I knew was coming. "Sorry I got distracted, where's your concert." I asked pulling out my lap top that was hidden in the neat by chest. Again, I had one of my feels that it was there. After a few minutes we finally found that there concert was just around the corner and that they turned too early.
"Well I guess you'll be going then." I mumbled, not wanting them to leave. "Well it's not that bad our concert isn't till 8 and it's only 3. Maybe we can stay a little longer and then you can bring the birthday girl and your other close friends to the concert." Kendall said, I squealed attacking him with a hug. "That be great!" I then noticed what I was doing and just stepped away and looked down hiding my blush. "Um… that's good idea…I… I think I'll go get some cake." I mumbled before I took off into the kitchen.
I was a little shocked to see that they stayed around as we continued the party. "Connor as Birthday princess I demand you carry me everywhere." Katie declared after we finished eating the cake. "But you probably just gained like 40 pounds from all the sweets." I whined. "I don't care." She said pouting. "But why me?" I asked giving her puppy dog eyes knowing she was about to crack. "But it's my birthday!" She declared. I sat there crossing my arms and pouted "Yeah, and my birthday was like a week ago, and you FORGOT!"
"I said I was SORRY!" Katie declared pouting. "Fine I'll carry you, baby!" I shouted, getting a squeal in return. I sighed picking her up, and started my way. "Connor what are… no DON"T!" She screamed but it was to late and I already dropped her in the pool. "Come on CONNOR!" she shouted, seeing the angry witch I hide behind Kendall.
"What? Are you doing?" He asked, raising one of his eyebrows. "Using you as a human shield of course." I said like it was the most obvious things in the world. "Why me?" He asked again. "Cause you're the closets. Plus you're cute." I said, mumbling the last part to myself. "Cute huh?" He asked causing me to blush. "Um.. well you see…" I mumbled trying to say something but failing miserably
"CONNOR!" Katie yelled, making me 'epp', and hide behind Kendall. "Come on Connor you can't use him as a shield." Katie said trying to walk around Kendall. "Can and will." I said laughing. "Come on Katie, I threw you a party, made you a cake, carried 20 HEAVY shopping bags full of your clothes, sat at IHOP watching you flirt with Hotty Mc. Hotters for 3 hours, and said you can have the guy we've been fighting over for years and that was just today!" I exclaimed.
"Okay, fine I forgive you." Katie mumbled crossing her arms. "Yeah!" I exclaimed stop hiding behind Kendall. "Now come on give me a hug." She said walking towards me. "Um... no thanks." I said before spiriting into the house hiding behind James. "What are you…" But he didn't finished since Katie slipped and fell into him making them both wet from the water. "Oh man my clothes." James moaned. Causing both me and Harley to roll are eyes. "Whatever pretty boy" Harley mumbled. "OH so I'm pretty huh?" James asked walking over to Harley.
I rolled my eyes knowing this was going to end badly. I ran over to Kendall hoping he could help. "I think Harley's about to kill James. " I said, looking up at him. "Right and we need him for the concert, how about we do a little contest." Kendall smirked looking over and smiled at me. "Oh and what's the prize, winners get to go on stage with us during the concert." I nodded thinking that it be a good idea.
I stepped onto the table and hitting a pan with my hand getting everyone's attention. "Alright here people were having a contest!" I said after everyone was paying attention. "Oh what kinda contest?" Scarlett. "How about different ones. Dancing, cheesiest pick up line, name that song, and best at guitar hero."
First was the pick up lines since that would take longest, I smiled seeing my first opponent was Katie.
"Do you have a map? I just keep on getting lost in your eyes." I said staring the contest
"Hello, I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart."
"Excuse me, but I think I dropped something! MY JAW!"
"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together."
If you were a tear in my eye I would not cry for fear of losing you."
"um.. well.. darn it I got nothing." Katie mumbled.
It was the last round and it was me and Kendall against each other. Hey yeah the contest prize meant nothing to him, but hey this is fun.
"I must be lost. I thought paradise was further south." He said starting
"Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?"
"Stand still so I can pick you up!"
"Was you father an alien? Because there's nothing else like you on Earth!"
"Would you touch me so I can tell my friends I've been touched by an angel?"
"Wouldn't we look cute on a wedding cake together?"
"Your name must be Mickey because your so fine."
"You're like a dictionary, you add meaning to my life!"
"Hello. Cupid called. He says to tell you that he needs my heart back."
"If beauty were sunlight, you'd shine from a million light-years away."
"I'm wearing Revlon colorstay lipstick, want to help me test the claim it won't kiss off?"
That got him, he couldn't think of anything else to say, making me the winner. After everyone stopped cheering I walked over to Kendall to tell him played a great game but he just stood there. "What?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "I'm just waiting for my kiss." He replied, making me blush and quickly turn away to watch the dance contest.
Scarlett was amazing; she was the best out of them all, making it obvious that she win. After she did we all cheered, and me and her sat on the couch calling it the winners couch. Next was name that song. After 30 minutes, Mandi won since she named even last song soon joining us on the winners couch. Then the guitar hero one, which Harley won with ease. "Alright, we all won." I said pausing looking at Mandi, who gave me a drum roll. "We get to go on stage during the BTR concert!" I shouted.
