Just remember I finished this on Oct 26 and I had to wait to post it til now! Happy Birthday Kendall Schmidt! On with the chapter!

Oh yeah…declaimer: We all wish we owned Big Time Rush, but the sad fact is we don't…. :(

***BTR***

The four boys with a rising fandom and a second CD soon coming out are on the rise. The Palm Woods was as quiet as it has ever been that November afternoon.

Carlos and James were pushing a really bummed out Kendall into the lobby. "Come one buddy cheer up!" Carlos said.

"No" Kendall said sadly.

"At least tell us what's wrong." James said.

"No…" he replied again.

They stood in the door way of the lobby as Kendall started to walk away from them.

"SURPISE!" People started streaming out from hiding spots with weird pointy hats, balloons, and presents. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALL!"

Kendall smiled. "You guys remembered! I thought you forgot!"

"How could we forget?" Logan came out of nowhere with a pointy hat for Kendall.

"Yeah, It's not like we threw this together at the last minute or anything." Carlos said in a 'ya we forgot but we threw you a party' voice.

James and Logan hit him, which made Kendall chuckle.

He looked around and saw everyone who was there and what everything looked like.

There was a table with a whole bunch of presents on it. Katie was by it talking to Camille about who knows what. Guitar Dude and the Jennifers were over by the snack table. His mom was at the front desk talking to Mr. Bitters and Budha Bob. Gustavo and Kelly were talking to some teenagers that were new to the hotel and Griffin was walking towards him.

Kendall was a little shocked to see his boss's boss here.

"Happy Birthday, Kendall!" Griffin said giving him an awkward hug.

"Thanks." Kendall smiled.

"How does it feel to be 17?" Griffin asked.

"Kind of the same as being 16."He shrugged.

"You want to know something son?" Griffin wrapped his arm around Kendall, like a father would do to a son. Kendall would never admit it but he liked the feeling.

"Sure…."

"You don't get to be young forever, unless you're a vampire… You're not a vampire are you Kendall?"

Kendall smiled trying not to laugh at what Griffin had just said. "No, I'm not a vampire."

"Stay away from them." Griffin said obviously still on the watch from Halloween two days earlier.

"I will." Kendall said awkwardly.

"Good man" Griffin said as he patted Kendall on the chest and walked away.

"That was weird. " Kendall said awkwardly.

Kendall made his way over to the gifts and started looking at them. Katie stepped in front of him. "You can't open presidents yet, big brother."

He just rolled his eyes. "Ok whatever." He smiled and started to walk away then quickly turned around and picked up Katie, moving her to the side.

"So not fair!" Katie laughed.

James came by and took the present from Kendall's hands and set it back on the table. "Not yet birthday boy… First CAKE!" James turned Kendall around to find Logan and Carlos coming out with a huge cake.

"Set it down before you drop it." Kelly said worriedly. Carlos let go of it for a slight second but caught it, making everyone jump.

"Just kidding guys." Carlos said as him and Logan set the cake down on the front desk. They lit all the candles and turned to Kendall and started singing.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU…" Everyone started to join in. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU." Kendall made his way over to the cake. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KENDALL!" Kendall closed and eyes and made a wish. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" They finished and Kendall blew out the candles. When all the candles were out Kendall looked at the smoke rising from them.

"What you wish for, buddy?" Carlos asked putting his arm around Kendall.

"Cant say it wont come true."

Carlos shrugged. "oh well." He smiled as he dunked Kendall's head into the cake.

Everyone started laughing. Kendall took his face out of the cake and smiled at Carlos with a devious smile.

He grabbed a giant chunk of the cake and threw it at him. Kendall laughed when he got it all over his face.

"BOYS! Boys!" Mrs. Knight said. " Let's not start a food fight." She said giving both of them a towel.

"Time for presents!" Logan said running to the table and grabbing the present he got and handed it to Kendall.

Kendall finished wiping the cake off his face and started unwrapping it. He smiled when he saw a dozen stocking caps. "Woah, Thanks Logan." He smiled and put one on his head.

Next, he unwrapped Carlos's gift, which was a hockey stick that was signed by one of Kendall's biggest heroes. "Where did you get this?" Kendall said in awe.

"Remember that day when Gustavo let everyone leave early beside you, because you were back talking? He was at the rink. And I got him to sign it." Carlos smiled. Kendall thanked him.

James's present was next. He sat eager of Kendall to open it. Kendall laughed when he pulled out hair product. "Thanks, James."

Katie got him leather jacket. Mrs. Knight got him a 100 dollar savings bond. Kelly and Gustavo gave the boys the next week off. Budha- Bob gave him a plunger. And Griffin gave him a pair of warm pants.

He smiled at all his friends and family. "Thanks for the best birthday ever guys."

"You're Welcome." Everyone said and there was a big group hug.

***BTR***

Kendall was awakened in the middle of the night by knocking at the door. He got up sleepily and made his way to the door. He opened it to find no one there.

"Oh my gosh." He groaned, but noticed a package on the floor. It had his name written on him. He picked it up and brought it to the couch. He opened it and found a letter. He opened it.

'Dear Kendall, I hope you had a Happy Birthday, Because it's the last happy one you will have in a while. Sincerely, Hawk

P.S.- Hope you like your gift.'

Chills ran through Kendall's body as he read the note. He looked in the box to find cds. He stuck one in the C.D. player and it was him singing the half of the song he sang for Hawk. He stuck another one in, wondering what they all were.

Blaring through the speakers was his friend's voice, taunting him with words that stung. He covered his ears thinking back to when he first heard these words. He squeezed his eyes shut wanting to get away from the voices.

Someone touched him, which made his eyes shoot open.

Logan was standing in front of him with worried eyes. James had shut off the stereo and Carlos was standing on the side with Katie.

"Kendall, It's ok." Logan said calmly. He remembered back to the first time he saw Kendall's weak side and he didn't like it at all.

Kendall shook his head and showed Logan the note.

Logan looked up at the rest of them. " I think we have a problem."
