Allie and Nikki watched Bradin and Cassi leave before rushing out the door toward the beach. Allie had a plan, as usual "The boys said they'd meet us here in ten minutes. I think we might go to TJ's house and chill. Is that ok with you, I mean I know you're not used to this stuff"

Nikki smiled "Its weird, all I've wanted all day was to be with Brice. I like not being the good girl, I like this bad girl rebel me. The only thing that worries me is the fact he's so much older."

Allie smiled "He's really not. He's only like what 16-17 and you're like 15 right? 2 years isn't that much Nikki!" she said laughing

"No, I'm only 14. I have a late birthday. That's 3 years. I mean, that's a big deal, plus I don't think he wants me for anything but an easy lay, in which he wont be getting what he wants"

Allie smiled again "I know the feeling, and it will go away, I promise. I had it when I first met TJ. Just go with what's going on in a place where the voices of your family aren't. It took me until 3 weeks to get Cassi's voice out of my head. Just forget about them and let him take over your mind. Trust me, it feels soo much better"

Nikki nodded "I'll try"

Allie smiled as they boys walked toward them "Don't try" she whispered "Just do it"

Bradin and Cassi held hands as they walked out of the restaurant. It was good for then to just get out and have fun, which was exactly what they both needed.

"I love this, I love it here. Its so…perfect" Cassi said

"I know I am" Bradin said jokingly "No, I do love California, its so much better than Kansas. Much better to look at too, unless you like corn, corn and did I mention corn?"

She laughed "Oh Bradin" she said, rolling her eyes

He smiled "It's true!" he said, laughing too. They kept walking and the arrived at the Amusement Park that was at the end of the promenade "Do you want to go and have some fun. It's only 8."

She hesitated "Um, ok?" she said finally

He smiled and took her hand in his and led her inside. They walked around, but she hesitated when he moved toward the Ferris Wheel. "What's wrong Cass? It's just a ride, relax baby"

She shook her head "No way. Not happening, I'm not going near that death trap. No chance." He looked at her funny "Let's just say an iceberg has a better chance staying solid in hell than me going on that"

Bradin wrapped his arm around her and smiled "You're afraid of heights aren't you?" he said, kissing her head. She nodded "Well I'll hold you. There is nothing to fear but fear itself" he hugged her tightly and led her up to the line, much to her dismay.

Nikki tried to relax as Brice wrapped his arms around her. The two were following Allie and TJ to Tj's house on the beach. She breathed slowly, but no matter what she tried she couldn't get Bradin's voice out of her head, the one saying she was the smart one, that he'd kill her if he ever found out, that the reason this felt so right was only because it was so wrong.

Brice noticed her tense nature and turned towards her stopping her in her tracks "Relax Nikki, I'm not going to do anything to you. We're just going to watch a movie, go in his hot tub, nothing too big. You can trust me." He kissed her gently on the cheek like she was a precious glass that would break at any second

She looked at him. He was older, stronger, but so inviting, she couldn't resist. "So you'll respect me when I tell you you're going to far or I need you to stop?" she said

He smiled "Absolutely. The last thing I would want is you to feel uncomfortable" he took her hand in his and pulled her up the beach toward the now vanishing shapes of Allie and TJ.

Cassi started to shake as the ride man hooked them in "OK, I changed my mind, no doing this" she said, but before she could get off, the ride started moving. Scared beyond belief she clung onto him "Brae, there are few things in this world that scare me, Heights top the list"

He smiled and held her "I won't let anything happen to you Cassi" he said, running his fingers through her hair "You just need to relax, it's just a ride"

"No, it's a death trap." She replied as it came to a stop near the top "Like now!" she said nervously

"Look down, they're letting more people on, that's why we stopped. Relax" he said again. He could tell she was still scared so he pulled her as close to him a possible and stroked her cheek, then kissed her as they began to move again "See, it's fine" he said between kisses

She smiled "Yeah" she said, as they neared the bottom "Let's go again"
