I'll Always Be There For You: A Big Time Rush Fan Fiction

Chapter One

 A/N: Hey everybody! Okay, so there is one thing you need to know before you read. This story takes place in Minnesota, and the guys never became famous, so the stuff that happened in Big Time Audition never happened. That's pretty much it, enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sixteen year old, Karmen Knight believed she had a perfect life. She loved her home in a small town in Minnesota. She loved her best friends, James, Carlos, and Logan. She loved her mom and her little sister, Katie. But most of all, she loved her older brother, Kendall Knight. She just never realized how much she loved him, until he was gone.

It was a slightly warm spring day on April 3,2011. It was the last day of spring break ,and Karmen, Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan were all hanging out in the parking lot of the supermarket Kendall worked at. The sun was shining, and there was not a cloud in sight. It was a perfect day, and Karmen had a feeling that somehow today was going to be memorable. Although something memorable did happen that day, it wasn’t necessarily something Karmen, or anyone else wanted to remember.

“How do you do that?” Logan asked, as he watched the shopping cart Kendall had launched across the parking lot roll perfectly into the cart corral for the third time in a row.

“I don’t know, it’s not that hard,” Kendall replied.

“Uh, yeah it is,” Logan argued.

Kendall rolled his eyes, “No it’s not. C’mon Logan, it’s so easy, Karmen could do it,” he said, referring to  his little sister who was probably the clumsiest, most uncoordinated person he’d ever met.

Logan laughed, “Karmen couldn’t get that cart into the corral if her life depended on it.”

Karmen, overhearing their conversation, walked over to them and said, grabbing a cart, “Oh yeah? Watch me.”

She pulled the cart back, and shoved it across the parking lot in the direction of the cart corral. The cart rolled perfectly into the corral, just like Kendall’s had.

“OOOOHHH!!!!” Carlos howled, giving Kendall a high-five.

“That’s my girl,” Kendall said, smiling proudly.

Logan’s jaw dropped, “Damn,” he muttered under his breath.

The blond girl turned around, and walked over to Logan with a sly smile and said, “And you were saying?”

“How can you do that, and I can’t?” he asked.

“It’s because I’m a Knight,” Karmen said, smiling at Kendall.

“And you’re you, Logan,” Kendall concluded, making them laugh, except for Logan who rolled his eyes.

“Hey, where’s James?” Carlos questioned.

Now that they thought about it, where was James? They hadn’t seen him since they got there. The four of them started looking around, and found him sitting on one of the beach chairs in the outdoor display of pool supplies.

They walked over to him and Karmen asked, “What the hell are you doing?”

James pulled his sunglasses down to look at her, “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m working on my tan, and I know you like what you see,” he said, grinning flirtatiously at Karmen, who was now rolling her eyes in disgust.

“Tanning? In Minnesota?” Kendall asked, raising his eyebrows.

“A little sun is better than no sun,” James remarked.
