Ivan,Tino,Tyler,julian,Joshua, Krista, Savanna and I walked towards Floras house to pick her up. "This is where Flora lives?" Tyler asked in 'wow'."yep" I said popping the 'p'

I knocked on the door. I should probably ask permission to her mom if Flora could stay the weekend with us all.I'm sure she will,she seems like a nice mom.the guys and I decided to travel in two different cars. so all of us could fit as we hit the road. Julian's charger and Joshua's challenger. these people are fucking rich...

Flora opened the door and screamed "why are all you here!? how you know where I live!? Benjamin!" she glared at me. "We're just here to pick you up" I laughed. "I thought I was going to meet you at your house!"."you thought wrong Flower" she grouched stomping inside. I let myself in while everyone else followed behind.

I saw her stomp to her room. a guy came out with basketball shorts, a muscle shirt and messy hair stretching. Must've been her brother from the pictures. he kinda looked like Ian Somerhalder and Chris Hemsworth had a baby. He noticed all of us in the living room. "who are you?" he asked. Serena came in the room next to the guy. "Oh! hello Ben!" she greeted shaking my hand happily "hi, I was wondering if Flora can spend the weekend with us in jersey" I smiled. "with all these boys? I don't think so" the guy mugged. "oh honey, this Is the first time we met Floras friends. she never goes anywhere, I think this will be good for her" she said. "but I don't want the same thing to happen again..."."that was years ago sweetie, she's a big girl now" she turned at me "yes, she can go, she already asked me" she smiled "thank you", I smiled. the guy rolled his eyes. "are you floras brother?" I asked. him and Serena blinked. then laughed "I think I like him" he laughed walking away to another room. "what I say?" I asked confused. "that's her dad" she informed giggling "whatt??!" everyone laughed at me. her dad looked so young "how old is he??" ."we are 35" . she's 35? they both look so young. "oh...and what did he mean by not wanting the same thing to happen again?"."um...its not important, just keep her close to you. i'll bring some snacks" she smiled walking to the kitchen

We all sat in the living room while Serena gave us some warm cupcakes,i swear, this woman can bake! Rosa came looking at me wagging her tail "hey there girl" I greeted. she lifted her arm expecting a hand shake. and I gave it to her. "awe! how cute! is that her dog?" Krista asked next to Tino. they had been going out for two weeks. turns out that's she's pretty cool under all the shyness. We recently found out that she could rock the electric guitar when we all went to a bar together. "yes, her name is rosa" I pointed out "you been here before?" Joshua asked "nah, she just told me" I lied. Rosa was pulling the bottom of my pants "what is it?" I asked her. she tried to pull me from the couch. I got up and she ran off "i'll be right back" I told everyone.

I walked to Floras room. she was just standing there looking at herself on the mirror with some bags next to her feet wearing a thin sweater with her scarf "you okay?" I asked walking up to her. "yes, and I'm ready" she turned and smiled. I hugged her gently. she didn't hesitate nor hugged me back. I just felt her soft body on mine "I missed you" I admit. She didn't say anything.i let go and looked at her dresser. there was two key chains in a form of a broken heart. I picked it up. "what this?" I asked."um...mom got it for me..." She admit. I look one half and put it with my keys. and gave her the other. "much better" I chuckled. "whatever,lets just go" she laughed running off.

We were on the road at 6. Ivan, Tino,savanna and krista rode with Joshua while Flora, Tyler, and I rode with Julian.Flora sat in next to me while Tyler was on the front. "you ready?" I asked. she nodded looking out the window.

It became 10 and Flora was asleep laying her head on my lap "just that way to the beach house" I whispered pointing to a certain location. Julian nodded and continued to drive. "so tell me about your friends Ben" Tyler yawned. "well, theirs Christina,Victoria,Jordan,and Jonathan. we use to be in a band together and we've been friends since 1st grade. Christina was one that helped me with my drinking problem. I think you and her will make a cute couple" I told Julian. "hmm, maybe" he puckered his lips. we arrived at the beach house my friends picked out.

I carried Flora as we all walked inside. "Benjamin!" Victoria jumped in joy. "shh!" I shhed her looking at Floras sleepy face. she moved alittle but went back to sleep. "oops! sorry" she whispered. "got a room for her?" I whispered. she pointed at a door. after placing her down on the bed, I went back where everyone was.

"Sup man!" Jordan and Jonathan yelled out hugging me violently. "oh my god! chill!" I yelled laughing. "it's been so long!" Christina smiled. "it really has, everyone these are my friends from Texas" I introduced everyone together. they all talked like they knew each other for years. it was nice. Tyler was drawing something. I looked over his shoulder "really?" I asked looking at a drawing of me holding Flora "what? it happened! I can't help but draw these" he laughed
"Wow...your a good artist" Victoria said looking at his book. I saw some red appearing on his cheeks "your blushing" I smirked. Victoria looked at him surprised and amused "am not!" he shut his book "can I pick out my own room?" he asked "oh yeah, there's enough rooms in here for everyone to have their own" Jordan explained.

We all unpacked and settled in our own rooms. I went to check up on Flora at 11. She was breathing heavily and sweating. i came closer to her. before I could feel her forehead, she talked in her sleep "I'm sorry...i could've help you but...i was...too...afraid to move..." she cried. I held her cheek closer to my face. she slowly opened her eyes. "Ben...?"."its okay, I'm here" I whispered. she hugged me tightly sitting on her knees "I'm sorry...its my fault..." she cried. I had no idea what she meant but I simply hugged her back as she cried and cried. I laid her down next to me. I moved her hair behind her ear. She stared at me with her silver-blue eyes. "Aller dormir stupide" she giggled cuddling with me. Did she just go French on me? "What you say?" I asked. I think I heard the word 'sleep' and 'stupid' in that sentence. "Eres malla" I told her in Spanish, yeah! what now!? "Callate" she said before falling sleep. she knew Spanish too?? oh lord... how many things do I not know about this girl?

Flora's P.o.v

I looked around in the dark. I was surrounded by nothing...the only one in this area is me. I try to walk but I takes me nowhere. I am alone. I fell asleep in the car. and now I'm here...

A boy appeared in front of me with blue-brown eyes. it wasn't Ben, it was Anthony. He looked the same the last time I saw him. about 5 inches taller. muscular, slightly chubby, brown hair with blond highlights and right now, emotionless. it scared me seeing him right in front of me after what I couldn't do for him.

"Your..."
"Anthony? yes" he answered for me like a normal person would. I'm glad he's not a zombie right now. "what are you-" ."doing here? to see you" he cut me off."why..?" the black room turned into the scene where Nicolas killed him. I placed my hand over my mouth preventing myself from screaming. The scene disappeared and i was in the dark room again. "you saw me needing help" he stated. "I'm sorry...i wanted to help so badly...but I couldn't.." I cried. he looked at me with eyes full of sorrow. "My brother..." ."Benjamin?". "yes...after I died, I watched him almost destroying himself..."."w-what do you mean...?"."I mean that when he heard about me and dad, he made some bad choices. a 15 year old like he was could pass for a 19 year old. he went into bars and drank and drank and drank. he wouldn't stop..." he began to cry. "this is my fault..." I cried even more "I wouldn't say that..." he came closer to me "I'm sorry...i could've helped you...but I was too afraid to move... stupid Nicolas...this is my fault...this is my fault..." I blamed myself for everything...he raised my chin. "I know you didn't mean to...but all I'm asking for is to protect my brother..." he frowned. "it's hard to protect him when he's always around me...i try to keep him away but...he won't go...i don't want him to get hurt because of me, like you..."."then don't let it happen, enjoy yourself right now, but once you go back to New York, you have to decide on what to do". "what do you-" I felt something touch my face, I opened my eyes and saw Ben. he looked a lot like his brother. "Ben..?" I asked quietly "it's okay, I'm here" he whispered. Looking at him made my guilt build up inside. I hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry...its my fault..." he hugged me tightly as I continued to cry. he laid me down next to him moving my hair away from my face. this boy...why cant he just go away so he can be protected? i don't want to jinx it but i could be caught one day and he'll be trailing behind dying just like Anthony...but i cant help but love his aura. He stares at me "aller dormir stupide" i giggled getting closer to him. i told him 'go to sleep stupid' not like he'll understand. i learned french my 10th grade year with a 100. I'm basically fluent now. he looked at me in confusion and humor. "what you say?" he laughed. "eres malla" he added. oh? he speaks spanish now? explains his last name, two can play that game "callate" i giggled slowly falling asleep by his warm body. i learned spanish because of Fernando, Martin, Ruben, George, Julio and Josh. they were all hispanic except for Nicolas. its pretty obvious from his red hair. the hispanics always spoke spanish near me so i picked it up.

*
I woke up next to a sleeping Ben, i poked his cheek. he stirred and later remained still on his back. i giggled at his grumpiness. i looked around the room we were in. i slightly big bed room with a white bed we were on, baby blue walls, a balcony that shows the blue ocean,white curtains, white furniture, light blue lamps, beige floor tiles, picture frames with seashell pictures, and a brown wood ceiling fan. it was really pretty. i glanced at my phone and looked at the time, 9:03 a.m. hmm... i looked back at Ben mumbling something in his sleep. i got up quietly and checked my 3 beach bags that i brought along, next to the door. i packed Swim wear,towels, sunscreen, sleep clothes, out clothes, shoes, charger, wallet with dads credit card, brush, medication, sketch pad, and pencils. all this fit in two bags. the other,smaller, bag had prank supplies. hey, i had to have a little fun! Duck tape, scissors, shave foam, fake bugs, spray paint, markers, balloons. hair dye, paint...oh yes...this is going to be a fun vacation

Oh wait! i forgot feathers! there must be some in the living room. i tip toed out the room and saw everyone in the living room watching tv, reading a magazine, playing music or drawing. they noticed me "well hello there sleeping beauty" Tino yawned smiling, i ignored him and glanced around the room too focused. there was a vase full of feathers that made it look like a palm tree. i happily took one and quickly tip toed back to my room. i noticed everyone following me, oh well. it'll be funnier if others see what am about to do. i took out the shaving cream and sprayed it on Bens open hand. i took the feather and tickled it in his nose. he slapped himself awake. i bursted out laughing. everyone else was shocked and holding their mouths trying to hide their laugh. i on the other hand was laughing my ass off on the floor.

"Oh yeah? you think thats funny?" Ben asked in a serious tone with white cream all over his face. my eyes widened, i ran as fast i could passing everyone. i was caught by Ben and he whipped his face full of cream on my back "eww!! no! its cold!" i laughed."thats what you get!" he laughed. "ok! ok! chill!" i gave up facing him on the floor.

Everyone was laughing their asses off. i looked at Julians ebony hair...hm... "Why would you do that?!" Ben laughed helping me off the floor. "i just thought it was funny" i explained putting my hands on my hips. "you should know that Bengy's been in detention everyday in middle school for his pranking, you dont know what you'll get" A girl with black hair laughed,shes one of bens friends,from the pictures in his room. I looked at Ben "its true, I'm the king of pranks" he brushed off his imaginary dust off his shirt congratulating himself. I rolled my eyes walking to the kitchen and sitting on the counter. he doesn't know that I've done pranks on cops. throwing pie on their heads and tipping them into the lake. that was a lot more fun then robbing someone...actually thats not fun at all.

I found a apple and bit off of it. everyone entered the room and sat on the couch in the living room,did i mention the kitchen was connected to the living room? Yeah. i crossed my legs watching them "what made you open up all of a sudden?" Joshua asked. "New York isnt the best place to 'open up'" i admit taking another bite of the apple. I'm guessing Ben was washing his face. Speaking of which, need to change my cloths. i removed my sweater revealing my pink sports bra sideways from everyones view. i saw the guys stare with their mouths open "what? you act you never see a girl wearing a sports bra before. girls that wear these run in the park. so don't act so surprise" the girls giggled. the guys looked away. i went to my room

I put on jean shorts, sandals, a red t-shirt and pulled my hair down in my tight bun. My hair avalanched down my back. i turned and saw Ben stare at me drooling. oh lord..."you'll catch flies" i closed him mouth walking pass him.

The girls and i cooked breakfast while the guys helped out with cutting veggies and sausages. it was great being near them all. i discovered that Bens old friends were serious party animals. they better not drink in front of me. especially Benjamin.

We went off to the beach to our swimsuits. i swear...the guys wont take their eyes off me. its annoying. my one piece suit doesn't even reveal that much. I sat on the shore with Savanna,Victoria,Krista and Christina. "The oceans beautiful" Savanna smiled feeling the breeze blow in her brown hair. "yeah..." i smiled looking at the water "so whats up with you a Bengy?" Victoria smiled "what about us?" i asked "you like him?"."...um...its complicated" i looked at my feet "whats so complicated about it? Bens always talking about you in via text. he wont Shutup about wanting you to open up and how pretty you are!" Christina giggled. my cheeks heated up. "i can see the way he looks at you Flora, he really likes you, you should give him a chance" Savanna said. i sighed "you don't get it... After we leave Jersey, we cant be close..." i hugged my legs "but why? Flora, you have no idea how happy you make him. he was a real mess 2 years ago...i haven't seen that smile on him in soo long" Christina frowned. they just don't get it...i stood up and walked pass the boys farther away from the girls and went to my room.

I looked in my prank bag and glanced at the scissors...no... it wont help me. i made sure the door was locked and changed out my swim suit to a pink night gown that reached the bottom of my butt and some black shorts.

I laid on my bed and saw the sun setting. i legged my knees as i stared at it. my phone went off, unknown number

"Hello?" i answered "hello there Flora" a familiar voice chuckled amused "N-Nicolas..?" i felt my heart drop to my feet. "the one and only" he laughed "how did you get my number..?"."i have my ways. where are you?"."none of your damn business!" i raised my voice pissed. "whoa Flora...i just asked you a question" he laughed "what do you want..?"."you know what i want. come back to us"."I'm not going back you bastard! You cant make me!" I squeezed the blanket near me "oh cant i? what about if i say that we will hurt your little boyfriend if you don't?". I didn't think my heart could drop any further "h-how do you know about him...?" my voice cracked "our new member took pictures when you and i met up at the alley" new member? what fucking new member?! "don't you dare touch him!!" I yelled feeling my eyes burning "then i suggest you come back to our old base monday night, we are busy right now at the moment" he laughed. this shit's not funny!! stop fucking laughing!! "fine! but if you touch a single hair on him, you'll regret it!" i yelled hanging up.

I cant believe that bastard did this...actually, i can! if it wasn't for that new member, this wouldn't be happening!! I heard a knock on the door "you alright Flora?" i heard Ben asked. Ben...I'm sorry this had to happen... I opened the door to see his worried face look down at me. i faked a smile to hide the sadness, but the tears completely gave it away. "what happened..?" he asked holding my cheeks, i held his hands and kissed them gently. "its okay...lets have some fun with the others" i realized i had this weekend left to be with him and the others. so I'm going make these 2 1/2 days count. "you sure..?" he asked placing his forehead on mine. i nodded smiling. we went outside and saw everyone near a fire with marshmallows and sticks. Tyler called us over. i looked at Bens hand holding mine... i looked up and saw him smiling. I hope this weekend will be the best i'll have, because after this...my nightmare begins again
