(A/N): So, a little warning ahead of time. You Katrina/Logan shippers are going to like this, then hate it, then like it again… Just letting you know. Wow… I'm on chapter 15… crazy. Anyways, thank you to treehillgirl1 and oOo KitKat oOo for your reviews! I still don't own Big Time Rush nor do I own the song Collide by Howie Day which is included in this chapter (That's the reason it seems so long).

Don't forget to vote and enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 15: Collide Like A Car Crash

Logan was driving a car with Katrina in the passenger seat. Carlos, James and Kendall were sitting in the backseat. All of them were singing along with a song on the radio. Katrina couldn't tell what song it was, but it had a great beat. The boys in the back were dancing to the beat and Katrina was laughing at them. She looked over at Logan who took a quick glance at her before looking back to the road. He told her something. She didn't know what it was exactly, but she knew that it was funny. She laughed even harder, giving him a flirty grin as she twirled her hair. He smirked.

James threw Katrina a flirtatious remark. She couldn't hear it, but she knew that she only wanted to hear stuff like that from Logan. Her smile disappeared as she turned to face him. Kendall and Carlos were rolling their eyes at the boy in the middle who was giving her a sultry smile. She threw him an insult that didn't seem to reach her ears, but James heard it. He said something back that she couldn't hear, but knew that it annoyed her. She rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue at him.

Suddenly, James looked scared. Katrina's face scrunched up in confusion. She looked at the other two in the backseat and they shared James's frightened expression. She sat back in her seat and glanced over at Logan. He was breathing heavily as he stared in front of him with wide-eyes. Katrina turned her head to look at the road in front of her. She saw two headlights heading straight for them. Not thinking, she grabbed the steering wheel and turned it. Nothing could stop the headlights from hitting them. Katrina's scream was the first thing she heard clearly.


Katrina sat up quickly, breathing heavily. She looked around the room, finding it really dark, but she could make out Katie's bed. Realizing she was safe, she began to relax, bringing her heartbeat back to normal. Bringing her hand up to her forehead, she wiped the sweat away. When she felt she was okay, she untangled herself from the sleeping bag and left the room.

As soon as she got in the main room of the apartment, she noticed that it was almost five in the morning. Katrina made her way to the kitchen and checked a couple cupboards before finding a glass. Filling it up from the sink, she turned around and leaned against the counter as she took a sip.

"You're an early riser," someone spoke to her. She spat the water out of her mouth in surprise before turning around to find Logan standing there. He was still wearing his pajamas.

"Not usually," Katrina answered, "Nightmare."

"Ah," Logan nodded his head. "If you don't mind, could I get past? I need to use the bathroom." Katrina moved to the side to let him pass. He gave her a quick smile before heading into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Katrina sat on one of the stools, drumming her fingers along the side of the glass of water, taking a drink every now and then.

Soon, Logan came back out. He began to make his way back to his room, but then turned back around and sat next to Katrina. She looked at him, "What?"

"So," Logan began, "About your nightmare. Did you need to talk about it?"

"No," Katrina took a sip of water. When he didn't leave, she continued, "It's one of those nightmares where you just can't get back to sleep afterward. You know the ones that seem so real."

"Yeah," Logan responded. They sat in silence for a little bit.

Suddenly, Logan grinned. Before Katrina could ask about it, he got up and left the room. He came back with his iPod.

Katrina raised an eyebrow, "You're going to listen to music?"

"Did you want something to take your mind off your nightmare?" Logan asked her.

She shrugged, "I guess so." He held out one of the earbuds for her. She smiled and took it, putting it in her ear. Logan put the other one in his ear before looking though his iPod. Finally deciding on a song, he played it. Katrina laughed when she recognized it as one of his band's songs, Any Kind Of Guy.

"You've got one of your own songs on your iPod?" Katrina kept laughing.

"Hey," Logan defended himself, "We worked really hard on these songs!"

"Well then you should celebrate!" Katrina insisted.

"Exactly!" Logan agreed. He put his iPod in the pocket of his pajama pants and then held out his hand. Katrina glanced down at it for a second before looking back to his face.

"Are you asking me to dance?" Katrina asked.

"The last time we danced, I was dressed as a girl," Logan recalled. "I think we should try again with me dressed as a boy."

"Probably a good idea," Katrina grabbed his hand as she jumped off the stool. He let go of her hand so the two of them could dance to the fast song.

Once it ended, it switched to the slow song, Collide by Howie Day. They stopped and looked at each other. Logan gave her a small smile and held out his hand again. Katrina returned his small smile and took his hand. They closed the distance between each other. She put her other hand on his shoulder and his free hand went to her waist. She rested her head onto his chest as the lyrics hit their ears.

The dawn is breaking

A light shining though

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

Both Katrina and Logan chucked at the ironic words since they were both up early in the morning and dancing together.

I'm open, you're closed

Katrina froze at this. Logan noticed, but didn't say anything.

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

Logan began to sing along to the song making Katrina relax as she concentrated on his voice.

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I

Collide

Logan let go of Katrina's hand and brought it to her chin to lift it up to look at him directly. She smiled at him as she put her now free hand behind his neck, locking it with her other hand. Logan took his hand from her chin and put it on her waist.

I'm quiet you know

You make a first impression

I've found I'm scared to know

I'm always on your mind

Logan brought his head slowly closer to Katrina's until their foreheads met.

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I

Collide

Don't stop here

I've lost my place

I'm close behind

They stopped moving and just stared in each other's eyes.

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I

Collide

Logan stopped singing along. He could feel Katrina's and his heartbeats get faster.

You finally find

You and I

Collide

They could feel each other's breath as their lips got closer. Katrina's eyelids fluttered shut.

You finally find

You and I

Collide

And she saw the headlights. From the shock, Katrina turned her head so Logan ended up kissing her cheek instead. Once Logan noticed, he pulled away, sighing.

"I'm sorry," Logan told her, pulling the earbuds out of his and Katrina's ears. "I shouldn't have done that."

"No, it's fine," Katrina insisted, upset that the mood was now gone. "It's just-" She suddenly noticed movement in the dark. Taking a good look up at the balcony, she noticed the tops of three heads peeking over the edge. One was wearing a helmet. Katrina closed her eyes, shaking her head.

"What?" Logan asked her, wondering why she just left off her sentence.

Katrina leaned in to whisper in his ear, "Your friends are watching us." She pointed at the balcony as if to prove her point.

Logan looked at the balcony with an angry expression on his face. He turned back to Katrina, "I gotta get new friends." She giggled at this. He turned around to face the balcony completely, calling out, "GUYS!" The heads disappeared.

"No one else is here!" The couple heard Carlos yell out at them. And then they heard a smack and Carlos screamed in pain. There was a short silence before Kendall, James and Carlos stood up, smiling guiltily.

"So," Kendall broke the awkward silence, "How did you two sleep?"

Katrina facepalmed, mumbling, "I'm going back to sleep." She left the room, but as she was closing the door, she overheard Logan starting to argue with his friends. Shaking her head, she made her way back to Katie's room.


Later that day, Logan, Carlos, Kendall, James and Katrina found themselves back in Penny's Pet Care's headquarters. Brandon had texted Katrina, telling her that his dad wanted him to come to the set of his latest movie so he couldn't come help. This and what happened earlier made Katrina hesitant to get close to the guys. Because what they were doing was mostly construction, the boys were insistent that Katrina couldn't do any of the building, making her avoiding them a little easier. She mostly watched from a corner while they hammered the wood, only going near one of them when they needed more nails.

"So," Katrina couldn't take not talking anymore. "How did you guys get out of working with Gustavo today?"

"He doesn't need us right now," Kendall yelled his answer over the pounding of hammers. "He's got to write songs before we can sing them."

"Ah," Katrina nodded her head. She looked over the guys. Their hair and shirts were drenched in sweat and she noticed that they had to stop often to catch their breath before going back to work. "Why don't I get you guys something to drink and then you can take a break?" She ran to the elevator without waiting for their response.

Going down a floor, Katrina stopped at Rocque Records so she could get something for them quickly. Once the elevator doors opened, she found Kelly standing there.

"Hey Katrina," Kelly greeted her. "When are you going to be done with your construction? Gustavo's been complaining."

"Um," Katrina considered, "When it's done. I'm not exactly sure. By the end of the week, the loud stuff should probably be done."

"Okay, I'll let him know," Kelly smiled at the teen, "Why are you here?"

"Just getting something for the guys," Katrina answered, "They've been working really hard."

"Ah," Kelly nodded her head, "Just so you know, Gustavo's going to be having a party to celebrate the boys' first album on Saturday. You're invited since you're an executive in the building."

"Wait," Katina looked confused, "I'm an executive?"

"Yeah," Kelly confirmed, "You're the executive in charge of Penny's Pet Care. You're also the youngest executive in this building. You might as well come. You won't be able to get any work done anyways because the building will be closed except for the party."

"I'll, um, think about it."

"Good. I'll see you later." With that, Kelly stepped into the elevator, doors closing after her.

Katrina stood in the hallway a little confused for a second before she shook her head and headed to the mini kitchen to get the boys something to drink.


The elevator dinged as it reached the level for Penny's Pet Care and Katrina stepped out. She was holding a cup holder with four cups of lemonade in it. Walking into the room, she spoke, "Hey guys. I got you- WOAH!" She almost dropped the cups when she got a good look at James. He had taken off his drenched shirt and the sweat on his toned chest sparked in the sunlight from the windows.

"What?" James asked the girl staring at him with wide-eyes.

Katrina stared for a couple more seconds before shaking her head, looking at the wall. "Uh, wow, um, I got you guys some lemonade. I'll just put it down and, um, go get some fresh air." She didn't move though.

James chuckled before walking up to her, getting in her sight, "I don't mind your staring." He smirked as a blush hit her cheeks, grabbing a cup of lemonade from her before walking off. She overheard him tell the others, "And this is why I always get the girl."

Looking over at the guys, she noticed that the others seemed to be considering this as they looked at her. Suddenly, the other three began to take off their shirts and Katrina had to turn around so she wouldn't drop the lemonade. When she heard three different footsteps heading for her, she told them, "Wait!" They stopped. She continued, "Let me put down these cups so I don't spill it." They laughed, but waited as she put the cup holder on the floor.

Once Katrina was standing upright again, she heard the footsteps. She stepped to the side so she wouldn't block the cups. Taking a deep breath, she looked over at the guys and froze. She stared at the shirtless guys as they leaned down and picked up their cups. Backing up, she reached behind her until she hit the wall. Leaning up against it, she watched them smirk at her before taking their sips.

While the others went back to work, Logan went up to Katrina, making her eyes go even wider than they were before, which the guys thought was impossible. He held his cup up for her. "You deserve a drink too."

Katrina's eyes flickered down to Logan's chest before finding his eyes again. "Uh."

"Here," Logan brought the cup up to Katrina's lips, "Just drink." She did as he told her, keeping her eyes locked with his. Once she was done, he pulled it back, took a sip for himself, gave her a smirk and walked over to join the work. She slid down the wall to sit on the ground.

Katrina was unable to help with the work for the rest of the day.

(A/N): …. What? Oh, sorry. I was imagining this scene too long… I really wish I was there right now… Anyways, before I drift off into daydreams again. I was originally going to have Big Time Party in this chapter, but then the nightmare thing came to mind and I thought it was perfect for her first night staying there. So, you'll have to wait for the Big Time Party for next time. And I really wanted to try adding song lyrics in, so I did it here.

And here are the choices for the voting contest again:

1. A girl bully.

2. A boyfriend for Brandon.

3. A stray animal.

4. A boyfriend for Katrina.

Confused? Check out chapter 7 for more information! Until the next chapter, happy reading and don't forget to vote!
