My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 1: Madison

I’m not even sure when it first happened, or how it all started… I use to always find Kendall as only my best friend’s brother, nothing more and nothing less. When Sierra and I were little, I would find Kendall that jerk of an older brother, like I should have at my age.

And, no, this crush on him has absolutely nothing to do with his fame, and never will. I just… I don’t know. I have no idea what I am thinking with any of this, it isn’t right and it isn’t normal. When you have a crush, you’re supposed to feel all happy and it’s supposed to be known as the second best feeling, the first being completely in love with somebody.

But when your crush is related to your best friend, you already know that everything is absolute trouble, and you’re looking at a complete disaster, not perfection. But who knows? Maybe it will all work out in some strange way someday. But I doubt it… I guess there’s only one way to find out…

“Maddie! Let’s go, Kendall and Sierra are waiting on us!” I heard James call from down the hall, probably right out of his bedroom door. I rolled my eyes, tossing a magazine and my Ipod into my beach bag, as well as a towel and tanning lotion.

“Hang on a minute!” I called back to him, pulling my hair back into a pony-tail and slipping on my flip-flops. Putting my bag on my shoulder, I just heard James say back,

“We don’t have a minute.” I rolled my eyes, opening my bedroom door and stood in the hallway with my arms crossed.

“Look, I’m ready. Now let’s go.” I said to him, turning on my heel and walking down the stairs.

I laid on my stomach on my beach towel, having one ear-bud in and the other one hanging out of my ear as I read through my magazine, Sierra doing the same as our brothers were hanging out with the rest of the band, surfing. “Why read an article about the band? You’re related to James, ‘member?” I heard Sierra ask as she looked at me, giving a slight grin.

There are times that I swear this girl is onto me, and that she knows I love her brother. But at the same time, I know that isn’t possible. If she knew, she would flip out on me, considering she can be pretty defensive of her brother. It’s a bit backwards… she’s the younger one, yet she’s more protective of her brother than her brother is of her.

Don’t take that the wrong way! He defends her, too, but she also has Kevin and Kenneth to do that, too. But for me? I only have James… I don’t hear much from my other brother anymore.

“Eh, I just feel for seeing how much we know that other people—AKA the Rushers—can’t and don’t know.” I said in reply to her, though it was a slight lie. Anything involving Kendall, I will read it or watch it, even if I was there and the person recording it, or if I already know what I am reading.

“Hm… oh really?” Sierra asked me as she looked over at me from the corner of her eyes. Even though we were both wearing sunglasses, it wasn’t hard for me to tell that she did. “Well, if you weren’t related to any of the guys, just a normal and average every day Rusher-girl, which guy would you dream of being with?”

Well, here is where I could say the truth I know it would mean nothing, but I wouldn’t do that. I would have to lie about this one… and I can’t say my own brother, because that would just be weird in so many levels. I looked down at the guys’ picture in the magazine, then at them in-person as they were surfing. “Carlos.” I said to her. I just heard Sierra give a short “hah” and I looked at her. “Which leaves you with Logan.” I stated and I could tell she gave me a slight, yet joking, glare.

“Shut up.” She said in her joking tone and I just smirked, going back to reading my magazine, listening to my music going through the one ear and listening to the crashing waves with the other.
