Hey guys! I'm back:) Sorry for lack of updates on My Previously Happy Ending but I haven't been getting any review on that so I never really wanted to update.. heh heh... So anywayss this is the story that I had the OC Contest for a while ago and I just never got around to uploading it so here it is :) Enjoy!

I do not own Big Time Rush. I only own my OC, Serenity. Other OC's are owned by their creators!

Chapter 1

10 years ago; James's POV

"Happy birthday to you," we finished singing.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles, Serenity," her mom smiled. Serenity took a deep breath, made a wish, and blew out all six candles on the cake.

"What'd you wish for?" I asked.

"I can't tell you, silly Jamie," she laughed, ruffling my hair, which caused me to pout. "Then my wish won't come true!"

"Time to open presents!" Serenity's dad grinned, charging into the room carrying all her presents.

"Open ours first!" Carlos grinned, exposing the gap in his smile where he lost his two front teeth.

"Okay," Serenity smiled, ripping open the presents. Inside were four charms. Each was half of a "Best Friends" charm. On the back of each of them, our names were carved.

Carlos gave Serenity a monkey head charm. Logan gave her a book shaped charm. Kendall's charm was a bird with its wings outstretched. And mine was a heart.

"Your names are on the back!" Serenity exclaimed, her ice blue eyes sparkling.

"I want to see how it looks," she grinned, racing up the stairs after her mom helped her put the bracelet on. Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and I smiled to each other in satisfaction.

But moments later, a shrill scream filled the air.

"Serenity!" her mom gasped in fear.

All the adults raced upstairs; the kids (namely, Kendall, Carlos, Logan, Serenity's brothers, David and Matt, and myself) looked at each other, trying to figure out what had happened.

"No!" Serenity's mom screamed.

"Mom?" Serenity's eight-year-old brother, David, called.

"Mommy!" her seven year old brother, Matt, called, running up the stairs. Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and I raced up the stairs after them. We ran into Serenity's room and found her mom kneeling on the floor, crying.

"Mommy, what happened?" Matt asked.

"Your sister. S-she's gone," she sobbed. In her hand was the purple ribbon that was tied in Serenity's hair.

Her dad entered the room, his eyes red with tears.

"I've called the police. They're on their way," he choked out.

Minutes later, the police arrived and took us out of the room. We waited for minutes wondering what had happened.

"Boys, your parents are here; we'll make sure to let you know if we ever find out what happened to Serenity," a police officer said. The guys and I nodded and followed our parents out the door, still unsure of what had happened.

The police spent weeks searching for our best friend, but never found any traces. Soon, she was pronounced dead. We were told that, although her life was short, she lived a good one. Being six years old, the four of us didn't quiet understand what had happened to our best friend; we didn't understand death. As we grew older, we began to understand that Serenity wasn't coming back. We never took off our charm bracelets with the other half of the charms we had given her on it. Although Serenity was pronounced dead and we had been told to accept it and let her memory live on inside of us, we held onto that last bit of hope that she was still alive. Still out there. Somewhere.

So what'd you think? The other OC's are going to be introduced in the next chapter which will be uploaded soon if I get reviews:) *hint hint* haha be sure to read My Previously Happy Ending too!
