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

Chapter Two

A/N: Okay, I know it's been forever and a day since I've updated. I'm a really bad procrastinator, but I'm back now! So, here's chapter two, finally! Oh and you should seriously listen to the song I put with this. It goes PERFECTLY with the concept of this chapter.

----

Karmen stood in her room looking at herself in the full length mirror. It had been a week since the incident with Kendall had happened and she was getting ready to go to his funeral. She was wearing a strapless black dress with lace tights and black heels. She had actually bothered to look good today, and she didn’t know why. She even wore makeup for the first time in a week.

For the past week, Karmen had been a wreck. After she found out that Kendall had died, she cried for three days straight. Then, something happened and the crying just stopped. She became really depressed, and was almost like a zombie. She walked around with a blank expression on her face, and she would never get any sleep because she would wake up screaming from the same dream every night about Kendall. The worst part about that dream was that it wasn’t just a dream, it was real, it actually happened. Her life had been a living hell. She felt like Kendall’s death was all her fault. She just stood there, watched it happen, and didn’t even try to help, and she hated herself for that.

What really bothered her was the promise Kendall made. He said he would always be there for her. Well where was he now when she really did need him? Oh yeah he was dead. He broke his promise, and he never breaks a promise.

I promise you, Karmen Knight that I will always be there for you no matter what, his voice rang through her head.

Tears started to roll down Karmen’s face, and she snapped out of it when she heard a knock on the door.

“Yeah?” she asked, wiping her tears.

The door opened to reveal her eleven-year-old sister, Katie, “It’s time to go,” she told her.

Karmen nodded, and walked out of the room with Katie.

“How do you guys tie these things?” Carlos asked as he fumbled with his tie.

“Here let me help you,” Logan offered, walking over to Carlos.

As Logan was finishing tying Carlos’ tie, James walked in, “Hey are you guys ready?” he asked trying to hold back the tears that were forming in his eyes.

The other boys looked at him and they almost started to cry too. They still couldn’t believe they were going to their best friend’s funeral. Everything just happened so fast, and none of them saw it coming. One day he was alive and well, and then the next, he was gone. All three boys were taking this pretty hard, but they knew someone else probably felt worse than they did.

“Man, I wonder how Karmen is taking all of this,” James said.

“Yeah I know. She was the only person who actually saw him…get hit,” Logan stated, choking up a little when he said, “get hit.”

“She’s probably scarred for life now. I mean with how close her and Kendall were, it must’ve been horrifying to see that happen,” James said, tears forming in his eyes again.

“Guys, can we please stop talking about this?” Carlos asked as tears rolled down his cheeks, “I can’t stand to think about that stuff happening to Kendall. I miss him so much, and I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t hold back the tears anymore. This is almost too much for me to take.”

The two boys looked at their sobbing friend. Carlos was never good at handling serious and emotional situations. He had always been the most sensitive of the group.
