WE HAVE BEEN IN NEW YORK CITY for three days now, and I love the city. I have seen the Statue of Liberty, I have been to Central Park, and Brent and I spent the whole day yesterday walking around admiring the stores.

We even rode the subway twice.

"So, what do you want to do today?" Brent asked me as we laid in the bed.

"We can go see the Empire State Building," I suggested as he twirled a piece of my hair.

"We should do that later tonight. The view will be more beautiful," Brent replied, softly.

"Let's go to the Aquarium! I haven't been in one since I was little!" I said with a grin.

"Now, that is something I'm down for."

I threw the blanket off of me, and I grabbed a pair of ripped light washed jeans, a white bodysuit with short sleeves, and a black and white flannel.

I walked into the bathroom, and I changed into the outfit. Then I brushed my teeth and my hair. When I walked out into the bedroom, Brent was still in the bed.

"Brent! Come on! I want to see some sea animals!" I exclaimed as I grabbed my white vans.

"Five more minutes," he said, making me shake my head.

I slipped on my shoes, and I walked over to him. I threw the blanket off him, showing his naked upper body. He had sweatpants on, but no shirt.

"Hey, that was rude," Brent pouted as I put my hands on my hips.

"Brent James Mason, you will get out of this bed right now or so help me I will take away all of your Goldfish," I threatened, making his eyes widen.

Brent packed over thirty bags of Goldfish for this trip. Thirty bags. He will share with me, but nobody else.

"Fine, but only because you threatened the love of my life," Brent said, sitting up so his feet touched the ground.

My mouth dropped open. "I thought I was the love of your life?"

He shrugged, but smiled,"Ah, you're a close second."

"Am I now?" I asked with a smirk as I stepped in between his legs.

He nodded, and I leaned in to kiss him. Right before our lips met, I pulled away, making him groan.

"That's not fair," Brent argued as I walked over to my perfume.

"That's what you get," I replied, opening the cap.

I sprayed my perfume, and after I put the cap on the perfume, Brent wrapped his arm around my waist.

"I love you," Brent said, making me look up at him.

"More than Goldfish?"

He nodded,"More than Goldfish."

I smiled,"I love you."

"Now, can I get that kiss?" Brent asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Not until you brush your teeth," I replied, making him pout.

As he went into the bathroom, I walked out of the bedroom. I walked downstairs to see Nick and Nichole playing Headbanz.

Nichole had on a pirate headband while Nick had the unicorn headband.

"Am I an animal?" Nick asked Nichole.

"Yes," Nichole responded.

"Do I live in the sea or on land?"

"Sea."

"Oh my gosh, am I Spongebob?" Nick asked with an all serious look on his face.

Nichole laughed, shaking her head. The timer went off, and Nick groaned.

"I'm never going to get it," Nick said, rubbing his temple.

"Hey guys," I said, making their heads to me.

"Hey, Cam," Nick greeted me with a smile.

"So who is winning?" I asked, gesturing to the game.

"I am," Nichole said,"I have been through ten cards and Nick has been three."

I grinned, and Nick scoffed,"Three and a half."

Nichole rolled her eyes,"You looked at the card!"

"Yes, but I knew what it was before I looked," Nick replied, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Where's Maya?" I asked them, changing the subject.

"She went out for coffee, and she said she was meeting up with some of her friends. She left like ten minutes ago," Nichole answered me, playing with the ends of her hair.

"Well, Brent and I are heading to the aquarium and getting something to eat. If you guys want to come, we can make it a double date."

"Yes. That sounds cool. We'll go get dressed," Nichole said, standing up.

"Can I look at my card?" Nick asked her, making Nichole nod.

Nick eagerly grabbed the card from the headband. His mouth dropped when he saw what it was.

"A shark? Really? Spongebob is a way better answer than a plain shark," Nick said, shaking his head.

"Well, technically,-...." I started, but Nick cut me off.

"To the bedroom!" Nick exclaimed before running past me.

Nichole laughed, taking off her headband. She was a cactus.

"We'll be back down in a few minutes," Nichole told me before following her boyfriend upstairs.

When Brent came down, I told him the plan, and he was cool with it. After ten minutes, Nick and Nichole came down fully dressed in warm clothes.

"Okay, let's go see some sharks," Nick said as we walked to the elevator.

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

"I still can't believe male seahorses can carry babies," Nick said, shaking his in head in disbelief. "Could you imagine me carry a baby?"

We laughed, and Brent said,"Nick, you would be so dramatic about every little thing."

Nichole chimed in,"I hear it now; "Babe, I'm literally dying." or "I almost died walking from the bed to the fridge.""

I laughed, and Nick mocked me before saying,"Okay. Enough of that subject. What are we eating?"

"Chinese food?" I suggested, making them nod in agreement.

We hitched a taxi, and we arrived to a Chinese restaurant within forty minutes.

When we were seated in the restaurant, I looked at the menu.

"I think I'm going to get sweet and sour chicken and rice," I said, setting my menu down.

"Same," Nick agreed with me.

"I'm going to go with the hot and sour soup. It sounds warm, and I'm about to freeze my behind off," Nichole said, also setting her menu down.

"What about you, Brent?" Nick asked his best friend.

"Sesame chicken," Brent answered as his phone dinged.

He pulled it out of his pocket, and it was a text message from his mother. He quickly replied back before setting it down on the table.

"Nessa just lose her first tooth," Brent said with a proud smile.

"Awesome," I replied, happily.

Our waiter came to take our orders, and we told him what we wanted. Within twenty minutes, our food arrived and it looked delicious.

We all ate and talk about our next big break from school which is spring break. Nichole and Nick were going to Australia to visit some of Nichole's family.

And Brent and I were going to the beach the whole week.

Walking out of the restaurant, Brent enlaced his fingers with mine. We were behind Nichole and Nick who were almost a whole street length from us. There was other people on the street, but not much.

I stuck my hand in my jacket pocket, looking for my phone so Brent and I could take a picture.

"Oh crap, I forgot my phone," I said since it was no where on my body.

"I'll go get it. I'll be right back," Brent said before quickly walking back to the restaurant which was only three shops down.

Nick and Nichole stopped, but they were in a deep conversation.

I crossed my arms over my chest, looking back at the Chinese restaurant.

As I took a deep breath, an arm went around my waist. Before I could even scream, a hand went over my mouth as the person dragged me back into the small alley.

I struggled against the person's grip, and I tried to hit and kick him also.

When we were halfway down the alleyway, I was pushed up against a wall. I tried fighting the man, but it was no use since he had my arms pinned above my head with one hand while the other was covering my mouth.

"Campbell, calm down," a familiar voice said, making my eyes widen.

That's when I noticed who it was. I could recognize those green eyes anywhere.

It was.....

Luke.
