(A/N): OMG! A post on a WEEKDAY! I actually had most of this done yesterday, but I didn't have time to do the ending. I shouldn't be writing this since I have an exam tomorrow, but whatever. I wanted to give you something cause I wasn't able to post over the weekend. So, as always, thank you to Milkamoo97 (Sorry I haven't updated in a while. But I have now!), Dreamer1992 (Katrina would take Logan back in a heartbeat… Almost. It's his indecision that's causing the problems) and oOo KitKat oOo (Apparently, James thinks he's ALWAYS lucky when it comes to girls.) for your reviews! I still don't own Big Time Rush nor do I own the episode Big Time Sparks which is finished in this chapter. I also don't own BTR's and Jordin Sparks's song, Count On You. However, I would like to state one thing. Katrina, Brandon, Tim, Evan and the plotline of this story belong to ME! I just borrow the other stuff with no intention of violating copyrights meaning that I don't want to be sued. If it's recognizable, I don't own it. I should stop my rambling now. Here's the chapter!

Chapter 47: Count On Some Drama

Kendall, James, Logan, Carlos and Katrina were standing in a line, waiting for their punishment. Jordin was in the room too, standing next to Kelly with Freight Train behind them as Gustavo paced in front of the boys and Katrina.

"In light of recent skunky events," Gustavo began, "I have decided not to kill you." The teens sighed in relief. "HOWEVER!" And the group jumped. "You blatantly disregarded my orders to stay away from Jordin Sparks and proved, once again, you are Bad Luck Rush and Hurricane Katrina."

"Gustavo!" Jordin spoke up causing everyone to turn and look at her. "They're not bad luck. They're good luck." Katrina looked surprised while the boys looked excited.

"Um," Kelly reminded, "They knocked you down a well."

"Yeah," Jordin went on, "But if I hadn't fallen down the well, I would have never figured out the song!"

"They helped you figure out the song?" Gustavo seemed surprised.

"Yeah," Jordin told him, "It's not a solo. It's a duet!"

The boys looked ecstatic as Gustavo started to laugh, "Duet! Duet with Big Time Rush?" Jordin nodded. "That is the most-" He suddenly got really serious. "-Greatest idea I've ever had." The boys started cheering while Katrina shook her head and Jordin looked confused. "Tomorrow, we shall record! Now, leave me. I have work to do." With that, Gustavo left the room, thrilled to be working on something.

"I think he forgot to get our ideas," Jordin commented.

"Believe me," Katrina noted, "He didn't forget. He just doesn't want them."

"We're gonna give him them anyways!" Kendall decided, leading the way out of the practice room to follow Gustavo. The others looked at each other, shrugged and followed Kendall out.

"James!" Katrina informed the begging boy as the group walked back into the apartment, "You had your three chances! I'm not taking you back!"

"But-" James started.

"You knocked me down a well!" Katrina reminded him. Carlos, Logan and Kendall snickered. Katrina glared at them and they stopped.

"Guys," Kendall spoke up, "You know that thing? In our room?"

"Oh yeah!" Logan picked up on it, "The thing! Let's go get the thing!" Logan and Kendall left for their room.

"Thing?" Carlos called out to them, "Kendall? Logan? What thing? What are you keeping from me? GUYS!" Carlos ran after them.

Katrina and James stared at the door that they had disappeared behind for a second before Katrina shook her head and walked over to the couch to relax. James followed her.

"I just need one more chance!" James insisted, "I promise I won't knock you down a well again!"

"Yeah, I know," Katrina mentioned. "Because I'm never going near a well again!"

"Katrina, please," James continued, "You're making me a better person!"

"No!"

"But-"

"James, take this as an opportunity to find a girlfriend that doesn't like someone else. Cause I still like Logan and that's not going to stop."

"You like me too," James stated. Katrina didn't have an answer for this. "See? Just let us try one more time." Katrina wouldn't look at him. "Maybe a song would help?"

Katrina finally talked, "No more songs! Please!" She sighed as she got off the couch. "I can't date you when I want to be with someone else. I don't know if I like you enough to get over that. I'm sorry." She walked off towards the bedrooms.

"Well," James spoke to himself, "That binder didn't work. Time to try it my way."

The next day, Logan, James, Kendall, Carlos and Katrina showed up at Rocque Records. Jordin was already in the practice room, waiting for them. Gustavo, Kelly and the recording guy turned around to greet them once they had walked in the door.

"I understand why you want them here," Katrina gestured to the guys, "But why did you want me here?"

"Because you helped with the song and I need an opinion from someone in the age range for this group," Gustavo responded. "And you have to do what I say." Katrina groaned as she sat down at the control board. "Now dogs." Gustavo turned to the boys. "Get in there!" They rushed into the practice room and stood in front of the microphones on either side of Jordin.

Kelly pressed a button on the control board to talk to the group in the other room, "Are you ready?" Once they gave her a thumbs up, she pressed a button and music started to play for the new song, Count On You. Jordin started off the singing.

Now I'm about to give you my heart
But remember this one thing
I've never been in love before
So you gotta go easy on me

Katrina bit her lip as she heard the song's meaning right at the beginning. Kendall took over for the next lines.

I heard love is dangerous
And once you fall you never get enough
But the thought of you leaving
Ain't so easy for me

Both James and Logan tried to get eye contact with Katrina, but she kept her concentration on the control board. As the boys counted in the background, Jordin sang the pre-chorus.

One, Don't hurt me
Two, Desert me
Three, Don't give up on me
What would I want to do that?

Hearing Logan sing that last line caused Katrina to look up, but she immediately looked back down after they connected eyes. No one else seemed to notice as the group went on as before.

Four, don't use me
Five, take advantage of me
Make me sorry I ever counted on you

The group singing got to the chorus of the song.

One, two, three, four to the five
Baby, I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby, I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby I'm counting on you

As Kendall started singing the second verse, Katrina looked over at Gustavo and Kelly who were eyeing her carefully as though wondering how she felt about the song. They didn't realize how much Katrina was relating to it.

Understand I've been here before
Thought I found someone that I finally could adore

Carlos took over right as Katrina looked back at the guys and gained eye contact with Logan again. She didn't look away.

But she failed my test, got to know her better
Saw I wasn't the only one

She looked over at James as he and Jordin sang the next part.

But I'm willing to put my trust in you
Baby, you can put your trust in me

Katrina shook her head as though she was indicating that she couldn't trust him while Carlos and Jordin sang.

Just like you count to three, you can count on me
And you're never gonna see

Logan picked up the song and Katrina went back to looking at her twiddling fingers.

No numbers in my pockets
Anything I'm going girl I'll drop it
For you

Katrina closed her eyes, looking like she was trying to keep herself from crying at that line. Like she had wished that Logan meant that about her. James and Jordin took over.

Cause you're the one I'm giving my heart to
But I gotta be the only one

Nodding her head a bit, Katrina pulled herself together and looked up to watch the group as they sang the pre-chorus and chorus.

One, Don't hurt me
Two, Desert me
Three, Don't give up on me
What would I want to do that?
Four, don't use me
Five, take advantage of me
Make me sorry I ever counted on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby, I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby, I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby I'm counting on you

Jordin started the bridge as Katrina tried her best to keep from looking at either James or Logan.

I really hope you understand
That if you wanna take my hand

Katrina gave in and looked over at James as he sang the next couple lines.

Then you should put yours over my heart
I promise to be careful from the start

She didn't look away as Jordin picked it back up again.

I'm trusting you with loving me

Katrina felt chills as the guys sang the next line, but she still didn't look away.

Very, very carefully

Jordin took over again for the next line.

Never been so vulnerable

James smirked at Katrina from their eye contact before he joined in.

Baby, I'll make you comfortable

Katrina looked back down at her hands as the group went back to the chorus.

One, two, three, four to the five
Baby, I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Why would I wanna do that? Hey yeah!
One, two, three, four to the five
Baby I'm counting on you
One, two, three, four to the five
Ooh, three, four, five

As Jordin finished up the song, Katrina looked back up to focus on the group as a whole rather than on just Logan or James.

Now, I'm about to give you my heart
So remember this one thing
I've never been in love before
Yeah you gotta go easy on me

The song ended and the group in the practice room cheered.

"Gustavo, that was awesome!" Jordin commented.

"So awesome in fact that I'm teaming you up for one more project," Gustavo spoke mysteriously. Katrina and Kelly looked at him, confused.

"Even me?" Katrina asked.

"You are a part of this team," Gustavo mentioned like it was obvious.

"I am?" Katrina seemed surprised.

"YES!" Carlos, Kendall, James and Logan called out to her.

"Oh," Katrina furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"What do you want them to do?" Kelly asked.

"Help me get back at Hawk," Gustavo mentioned.

"Hawk?" Katrina spoke up, "As in George Hawk? The owner of Hawk Records?" Gustavo nodded. "He's Brandon's uncle."

"WHAT?" Gustavo yelled.

"Yeah," Katrina continued. "He's Brandon's dad's brother. I thought you would have figured it out by Brandon's last name. Brandon Hawk." Gustavo stared at Katrina in disbelief. "Oh, I forgot to mention Brandon's last name, didn't I?" Gustavo nodded. "Well, they're related. That doesn't mean they're on good terms though. Brandon's dad and uncle had a huge fight. I'm not sure on details, but they're not talking."

"I always liked that kid," Gustavo commented. "Anyways, here's the plan."

James, Carlos, Logan, Kendall and Katrina were standing outside Hawk Records with Jordin. Carlos was holding the box with the skunk in it. Jordin was using her phone to call up George Hawk. The boys were laughing.

"Shh!" Jordin insisted, "It's ringing!" She cleared her throat right as Hawk answered. "Hey Hawk, it's Jordin. You were right. Rocque Records stinks. I want to record my song with you instead." She smiled as the man on the other end responded before she hung up. "He's on his way!"

"Quick!" Katrina gestured to the group, "On the other side of the limo!" The group ducked over to the side of the limo that was opposite the entrance of Hawk Records.

"Time to let this guy go," Carlos mentioned as Kendall opened the door to the limo. James used his rubber gloves to open the box in Carlos's hands, grab the skunk and quickly put him in the limo. Kendall shut the door immediately afterwards. The guys bumped fists while Katrina and Jordin did too.

It was at this point that Hawk came from the building. "Get me to Rocque Records," the group heard him instruct his limo driver. "I beat Gustavo again! Yes!" They heard him laugh as he got into his limo. As the limo drove away, the group stood up straighter.

They watched as the limo headed out the gate and then suddenly stopped. The door to the limo opened and Hawk ran out of it, screaming. There was an odor of skunkiness in the air. The group laughed at his misfortune.

"Oh my gosh!" Jordin spoke up, "That's crazy!"

"He deserved it," Katrina added. They watched as Hawk ran past again, pulling off his jacket as he ran. The group pointed and laughed hysterically at the sight. They noticed Gustavo look over at them from the bench where he and Kelly were sitting. They waved. He turned back around.

"Hey," James nudged Katrina, "I think our bad luck is gone."

"Wait until after this cast comes off," Katrina pointed at her cast.

"When is it coming off?" Jordin asked. The group had stopped laughing and was making their way towards Gustavo and Kelly so they could get their ride back to the Palm Woods.

"Next week," Katrina told her. "I'm super excited! I can't wait to be able to use two arms again!"

"It's really that soon?" Kendall seemed surprised.

Katrina nodded, "And I'll be getting my stitches out too!"

"Wow," Jordin commented, "You get hurt often, don't you?" Katrina nodded, sadly. "No wonder you went through that Wolff Family Tragedy." Katrina froze in her spot and everyone continued walking for a second before they realized she had stopped. They turned around to look at her.

"I thought you didn't know who I was before we met," Katrina remembered.

"Oh, I knew you," Jordin responded, "You're the mystery every media outlet wants to figure out. You've been all over the news lately."

"Of course I am," Katrina groaned. She walked past the group, leading the way towards Gustavo and Kelly. The others looked at each other, shrugged and then followed her.

The next day, the boys and Katrina were in the lobby, saying goodbye to Jordin. She was handing her bags to her brother. The boys were watching Katrina as she watched the interaction between Jordin and her brother. Katrina looked like she was trying not to cry and the guys knew immediately that Katrina was thinking of her own brother, Evan.

"Why do I always have to carry your bags?" Jordin's brother asked.

"Cause you're my brother," Jordin explained as she stuffed another bag into his arms, "Thanks BJ." He sighed as he gathered the bags and left the lobby. Jordin turned to the group. "And you guys, good luck on your album." Jordin gave both Logan and Carlos a hug.

They wiggled their fingers against each other behind Jordin's back as they spoke, "Lucky!"

Jordin pulled away and turned to James, "Cause I could really use a really great opening act in concert." She reached forward to give James a hug too, but he didn't let go. "Okay James, you can let go. James." The guys began to try and pull James away, but he wasn't budging. Katrina rolled her eyes before she cleared her throat. This caused James to let go. He gave Katrina a guilty smile, but she glared at him.

The girls smiled at each other as Jordin addressed her, "Be careful around these guys."

"I was planning on it," Katrina mentioned, "Good luck on your tour!"

"Thanks!" Jordin and Katrina leaned forward to give each other a hug. They let go and Jordin turned to Kendall, "And I hope you and Jo work things out."

"Don't worry about it," Kendall responded, "We'll be fine." They moved forward to give each other a hug.

It was at that moment that Jo walked into the lobby. She saw Kendall and Jordin hugging and crossed her arms, clearing her throat loudly. Katrina covered her mouth in shock.

Kendall took one look at her and spoke, "Unbelieveable." Jo turned around and left.

"Wait," Jordin went into action, grabbing a bouquet of flowers from a vase on the front desk. She handed it to Kendall, "Here. Try these."

Kendall smiled his thanks before he called out, "JO!" He started running after her. "IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!"

Jordin looked back to the teens still left, "Once again, good luck! I gotta get going!" With that, she grabbed her last bag, smiled and waved at the group and left the Palm Woods.

Katrina turned to the guys, "So, should we go help Kendall?"

The guys seemed to consider this before they responded, "Nah." Katrina rolled her eyes, but followed them as they headed for the elevator.

That night, James, Carlos and Katrina were sitting on the couch with Carlos in the middle. The TV was on and both James and Katrina were in a bad mood. They had just finished another fight where James had begged for her to try their relationship again. It was a mutual agreement that Carlos should separate them. The room felt awkward as they stared at the TV, only Carlos really paying attention. James seemed to be thinking while Katrina looked pissed.

Suddenly, Kendall and Logan stormed into the room. They made their way over to stand in front of James. Carlos and Katrina watched them curiously. James just seemed annoyed.

"What?" James asked.

Kendall pulled out the binder that Gustavo and Kelly had given James. He tossed it to James who had gotten wide eyed.

"What are you doing with something like that?" Kendall exclaimed.

"Is that the thing?" Carlos asked Kendall, pointing at the binder in James's arms. Katrina facepalmed.

"No Carlos," Logan corrected him, "That isn't the thing. That is a binder filled completely with information on Katrina."

"WHAT?" Katrina jumped off the couch in surprise. She turned to look at James in shock and disgust, "That is wrong on so many levels!" She snatched the binder from James's hands and, before he could do anything about it, she began reading it. "Favorite flowers, books, magazines, games, sports and the teams that play those sports, foods, movies and TV shows! And what I'm allergic to, every modeling gig I've ever done, list of activities I did in school, a family tree with our full names on it, pictures of my old room before the fire, list of the instruments I can play! Oh, and that's still not it! There's the type of guys that I've been interested in, including a complete list on every single guy I've ever had a crush on!" Logan strained his neck a bit to take a look at what was on that particular page, but Katrina flipped to the next one. "How those guys have succeeded and failed, how to react around my brother, who my friends back in school were including contact information, what celebrities I've met and what countries I've been to!" Katrina seemed to be getting more and more furious each time she turned the page while James was turning red. He kept looking down at his shoes.

"That's a lot of information," Carlos commented.

"Oh, it's still not done!" Katrina mentioned, "Now things get more personal. Like how long it takes me to get ready in the morning, what type of hair dye I use to add in my highlights, what websites I frequent online, the name of schools that I was considering applying for college-" She flipped the page, read what was on it, gasped loudly and then quickly slammed the binder shut. The boys watched her face crinkle in disgust as she looked back at James, "That's just gross and none of anyone's business but my own! How could you get that information? How could you get ANY of this information?"

"Okay, I can explain," James told her.

"What's that last one?" Carlos asked curiously.

Katrina glared at Carlos for a second and the boys knew she wasn't going to tell them. Carlos backed down and Katrina turned back to James, "I'm waiting."

James looked over his friends. Kendall seemed furious, standing between James and Katrina as if guarding her. Logan was standing right beside Kendall and although he looked furious too, he seemed more hurt and betrayed than angry. Carlos had jumped up from the couch and was curiously glancing back and forth between James and the others. Katrina looked as though she would have strangled James if her left arm wasn't broken and if Kendall and Logan weren't blocking her way.

Taking a deep breath, James explained, "It all started with Gustavo."

"GUSTAVO!" Katrina screeched as she burst through the door and into Gustavo's office. Kendall, Carlos, James, Logan, Brandon and Tim trailed behind her. The band and Katrina had run into Brandon and Tim in the parking lot and the boys explained the story to them while Katrina continued to storm into the building. Brandon and Tim had decided to come along to help try to keep Katrina from doing something stupid. Gustavo looked up from his work at his desk. Kelly was standing behind him. Both looked shocked to see the group.

"CAT!" Gustavo responded, "I don't have time for your attitude! Why don't you go claw at something?" He looked back down at his papers. Katrina moved forward as if she was going to leap across the desk and attack Gustavo, but the guys held her back. It took all six of them to finally get her under control. She took in a deep breath to try and calm down.

Kelly noticed the urgency in Katrina's attitude and the anger in all seven of them. She asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'll tell you what's wrong!" Any calmness that Katrina had pulled from that deep breath went away. "That man," She pointed at Gustavo, "Ruined my life! That contract ruined my life!" She slammed her fist down on the desk, getting Gustavo to look up at her in anger. "I need to get out of that contract!"

"You can't," a voice replied calmly from behind them. The group turned and saw Griffin and two of his minion assistants in the doorway.

"WHAT?" Katrina yelled at the CEO.

If Griffin was surprised by Katrina's attitude, he didn't show it, "The contract is legally binding. There's no way to get out of it."

"You can't use her signature," Logan spoke up causing everyone to look at him. "She's a minor. When she signed, by law, she needed to have her guardian cosign."

Katrina broke into a smile as she looked over at Logan, "I love that brilliant mind of yours." Logan grinned like he had just won the lottery. Katrina didn't notice as she looked to Griffin with a gloating smile. "I guess I get my life back AND control over my business again."

"No, you don't," Griffin informed her. He snapped his fingers and one of his minions handed him Katrina's contract and another paper. "See, at the point of her signing, she was legally an emancipated minor. So, it works. Just because she's a minor now doesn't change that." He handed Logan the papers who looked them over.

Logan's face fell as he turned to Katrina, "He's right." Katrina rushed forward to attack Griffin, but was held back by the guys again.

"You said it was legally binding," Brandon noted, "Does that mean that she can sue her way out of it?" Griffin's eyes went wide at the word 'sue'.

Katrina grinned again, "YES! That's what I'll do! I'm going to SUE you and ruin YOUR life! Be prepared for the worst legal battle you've ever encountered!" She broke free from the guys and stormed out of the room, bumping against Griffin on the way. The boys looked at each other before they rushed after her.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Kendall asked, concern for his cousin in his voice. "He's the fourth most powerful CEO in America."

"What's the worst that could happen?" Katrina replied, never stopping her path towards the elevator. "Oh, I'll get fired. That's it. Then, I'll build a new business and make him regret ever meeting me."

"Now I see why you're a boss," Tim mentioned.

"I told you she was stubborn," Brandon noted.

"Damn right I'm stubborn," Katrina mumbled. "And I'm going to win this battle even if I have to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court."

"Don't you think this is a little drastic?" James commented.

"YOU don't get a say in this!" Katrina snapped. The guys looked at each other, surprised by her tone of voice.

"What about the lawyer?" Logan reminded her, "And the money to pay them? And a copy of your contract to show that it's against the law?"

"The copy's easy to get," Katrina told him as the group reached the elevator. They stepped inside and pressed the button for the first floor.

"I can be your lawyer!" Carlos decided.

"No," Logan, Kendall, James, Katrina, Brandon and Tim responded. Carlos stomped his foot in frustration.

"Don't worry," Katrina went on, "I've got everything under control." She smirked and the boys looked at each other again, knowing that Griffin had just pissed off the wrong person.

(A/N): Uh-oh. Griffin's in trouble. And it seems that James and Gustavo are too. Is Katrina going to focus her attention on just Griffin or will she do something to make James and Gustavo feel her wrath too? What does she have planned for this lawsuit? How will it go? Will she win and get out of her contract, get fired or be forced into staying on her contract? Will she eventually give in to James's begging and go out with him again or will she wait for Logan to break it off with Camille and then go out with him? Are the boys going to figure out where Evan is and bring him back to Katrina? And we haven't seen much of Brandon and Tim lately. What's going on with them? You'll just have to wait to find out! Until next time, review and happy reading!
