IT'S THE DAY before the New York Trip, and I was packing my suitcase.

Yes, I realize that I should have packed sooner. But every time I try and pack, I get sidetracked and I totally forget about it.

"I do my hair toss, check my nails," I sung along with the song playing in my earbuds.

Summer was laying on my bed, chewing on a toy. When I walked back into my room with a handful of clothes, I saw Brent leaning against the door frame.

I jumped, dropping all of the clothes. I took my earbuds out of my ears, and Brent walked over to me from the doorway. Summer stood up from the bed, and she left the room.

"I didn't mean to scare you," Brent said with a smile.

"You didn't," I quickly said, grabbing my clothes off the floor.

"I'm pretty sure I did," Brent argued as I set my clothes on my bed.

"Didn't," I replied as I started folding a pair of pants.

Brent wrapped his arms around me, and he rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I did to," Brent whispered in my ear before kissing my cheek.

"Brent, I love you, but if I don't get this packing done right now, I'll forget and I'll be running behind in the morning," I told him, making him groan.

"I just want to cuddle," he said with a pout.

I sighed, giving in. "Fine, but only for a few minutes."

Brent smiled like like a child getting candy. He picked me up by the waist, and we landed on the bed. I snuggled into Brent's chest, wrapping my arms around him. Brent put his chin on my head, and his arms rested around my upper stomach.

"Only five minutes," I mumbled.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It wasn't five minutes.

We fell asleep for two hours.

After we woke up, I continued my packing as Brent watched The Originals. I already watched the first two seasons, but I stopped so he could catch up with me.

"Okay, but like, if Elijah and Haley don't get together, I'm going to sue," Brent said before eating some popcorn.

I smiled as I put the last thing in the suitcase. I zipped it up, and I put it against the wall.

"Finally done," I said, climbing on the bed beside Brent.

I laid on his chest, and he wrapped an arm around me. Brent lifted up my shirt a little, and he drew small circles on my lower back.

"Holy shit!" I heard Nick exclaim.

Brent and I looked at each before scurrying off the bed and out into the hallway. We walked downstairs to see that all of my brothers in a circle leaning over something.

"What's wrong? Did somebody get hurt?" I asked, worriedly.

They all looked at me, and Micheal said,"No. Nick found all of our old Nerf guns in the garage."

I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. They moved out of the way so I could see. My eyes widen when I saw all the Nerf guns. There was at least twenty guns and three big containers filled with darts.

"You guys do realize what this means, right?" Gaberial asked with an excited smile on his face.

"We donate them or sell them," Elliot responded with a shrug.

"No. We can have a Nerf War!" Gaberial exclaimed like a little child.

"You haven't had one of those in years," Gavin said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"How do you guys play Nerf War?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"It's like laster tag and capture the flag put together," Brent explained,"We have two teams, and we have two flags. Now, if you get shot, you have to lay on the ground until the game is over."

"And in order to win, you have to get the opposing team's flag back to your base. We used to play at the park," Nick finished.

"Sounds fun. We need to invite the girls. We will have a boy team and a girl team," I told them.

"We are going to crush you," Gaberial said, making me laugh.

"We'll see about that," I replied with a smirk.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Why did we agree to this? We are going to die out here!" Anna whispered shouted as we took cover in the wooden castle.

She was right. Jordan shot Gavin, but she was shot by Micheal. Madison got shot by Elliot, and Hailey shot Micheal.

So the only ones left in the game was me, Anna, Hailey, Brent, Nick, and Elliot.

Hailey was keeping our flag protected, but Anna and I are out in the shooting range.

"We should have just played Uno!" I agreed with her.

"The flag is right over there, but I see Elliot and Nick," Anna said as we peered through the window.

The boys are using a dark blue shirt as their flag, and we are using a yellow shirt for our flag.

"Where's Brent?" I asked out loud, looking around the playground.

Yes we do realize we are teenagers playing in a children's playground.

Do we care?

Not at all.

"Maybe he went after our flag?" Anna suggested as she raised her red nerf gun.

"I don't-" I started to say, but I was cut short of a fart hitting right between Anna and I.

"Abort mission! Run!" I exclaimed as we stood up.

We ran over the wooden bridge, trying to cover ourselves. I still have yet put my eyes on Brent. Nick and Elliot came running towards the castle, and they started climbing the stairs.

"Shit," I mumbled under my breath. The only way to go is the slide, but they would just go back down the stairs to get us.

"Campbell, go. I'll distract them," Anna told me, making me shake my head.

"What? No. I leave no woman behind," I replied, dramatically, but she gave me a sad smile.

"Go. Get the flag, and run it back to our base. I'll be fine," Anna instructed me, making me nod.

I climbed into the dark green slide, and I let myself slide until I was halfway through it. I stopped my self by putting my hands out to each side.

I heard darts going off, and I quietly climbed down the rest of the slide. Once I made it to the bottom, I ran to where the flag was at.

The boys stationed their flag on top of the dome climber. Ours was the trail sign since it was a fair distance to the playground.

Hopefully Hailey is still there guarding our flag.

I started to climb the dome, and when I was at the top, somebody shot a dart towards me. It missed me, and I quickly took the flag.

I looked to see Brent reloading his gun. I took this chance, and I quickly climbed down. I then took off like my life depended on it.

"No! Campbell!" Brent yelled as I ran to our base.

I don't see Hailey or Anna, but I continue to run. My legs were on fire, and I felt like I was dying. I couldn't stop because Brent was behind me.

I should work out more.

As I got closer to our base, I saw Elliot there with our flag in his hand. When he saw me, he raised his gun.

I quickly shot him, and he groaned. I smiled in victory, but my smile faltered when I saw Brent running towards our base.

I pumped my legs to go faster, but we both stopped dead in our tracks with our guns raised up at each other.

"Hand over the flag, and I'll let you walk," Brent said with a smug smirk.

He thinks he won, but I have my own persuasive ways.

"If you shoot me, I will not cuddle with you for an entire week!" I threatened with my own smirk.

"Brent, don't fall for it! She is lying!" Nick yelled from the picnic table.

"Am I? Do you really want to find out?" I taunted Brent whose eyes were flickering from me to the flag in my hands.

Of course I was lying. I couldn't go a week without cuddling with him.

But he doesn't know that.

He lowered his gun a little, and I took the opportunity to shoot him. His mouth dropped open, and I cheered.

"Yes!" I exclaimed before skipping over to the tree where our flag was placed at. I laid the blue flag on the pink.

Girls: 1 Boys: 0

"I was going to let you win! You didn't have to shoot me!" Brent pouted like a five year old.

"I had to make sure you couldn't shoot me," I replied, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He smiled, and I gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Let's play again!" I said with excitement.

We walked back to the group, and the girls all high five me and cheered.

"You are so whipped," I heard Nick tell Brent.

Brent shrugged,"Like you can talk."

"Round two here we go!" Gavin announced, handing Jordan our flag.
