I woke up at a little past midnight to an empty bed. I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes before looking around in confusion.

Where did he go?

I checked his nightstand and his phone was right there beside mine and there was no note. "Nick?" I called out, thinking he was in the bathroom but he wasn't. I got out of bed and opened his door, peeking out, looking down the hall but he was nowhere to be seen. Liam was walking this way so I called out his name. "Liam!" I whisper-yelled.

He looked around before his eyes landed on me. He was heading to the elevator.

"Have you seen Nick?" I asked when he walked up to me.

"No, why? Isn't he in here?" he asked in confusion.

"No, I um- I just woke up and I have no idea where he is, do you?" I questioned.

"Sorry," he shook his head while shrugging his shoulders. "I'm going to the pool, I'll let him know if I see him there," he said while walking away.

I nodded in response before he was out of my sight. I know I shouldn't worry because he's not a kid, but I do. I always worry about him. I was about to close the door but I heard voices outside and looked back out and saw Nick walking over in damp swim trunks and wet hair. I should have known he went for a swim. He walked over and stood in front of me.

"Hey," he smiled.

"You could've told me you were going swimming," I rolled my eyes.

"You were asleep," he shrugged while walking inside.

"You could've left a note," I gave him a pointed look.

"Where else would I go?" he asked. I simply rolled my eyes before getting back into bed. "I'm going to take a shower, wanna join?" he smirked.

"Yeah," I said while getting up and walking over to him.

"Really?" he asked, very surprised.

"No," I shrugged before pulling him into a kiss. His hands flew around my waist while he leaned against the wall behind him. I stood on my toes as I deepened the kiss for a while before pulling away.

"That's how you say no?" he asked, a little breathless.

"Take a shower," I kissed his cheek before crawling back into bed while he sighed as he went in, followed by the sound of water running. He came out after a while in sweatpants and crawled into bed beside me. I wasn't asleep, but I was trying to fall asleep so I just continued to lay there with my eyes closed.

"I know you're up," he poked my cheek but I continued to pretend. "Em," he whispered. "Emmy," he poked my waist and I yelped, sitting up. "Ha," he taunted.

"Nick, I'm tired, let me sleep," I mumbled, pulling the covers over my head.

I heard shuffling and opened my eyes to see him slipping under the covers. "Well, I'm not tired," he said, hovering over me.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" I questioned.

"Six Flags, why?" he asked.

"And when do we leave?" I asked.

"A little after lunch," he answered.

"Wait, there are no Six Flags in Miami," I thought out loud.

"Six Flags, Atlantis," he said.

"The Six Flags that closed in 1992?!" I looked at him in utter confusion.

"We're looking around the abandoned old place," he shrugged, "It'll be fun," he shrugged.

"I take it this is just gonna be you, Landon, Zo, and me," I looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

"When we go back home, I will take you to Six Flags back home for the rollercoasters," he sighed.

"So we're going around to look at the abandoned place that is just sitting there rotting?" I asked. That sounds fun. Not. "You are aware that many assets of that place were auctioned off, right?" I asked while sitting up, pulling the covers off of us.

"Yes, I am well aware," he sighed while tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Then why are we-"

"Emma, please shut up and let me kiss you."

I woke up the next morning to the sun seeping through the cracks in the curtains. I rubbed my eyes open, squinting at the brightness before checking the time. It's almost noon. I turned around and Nick was still fast asleep. "Nick," I patted his arm. "Nick, wake up, it's almost noon," I said a little louder, shaking him slightly but he was knocked out. "Nick, come on, we have to eat lunch and then we head out, let's go," I huffed before straddling his back. I lay on top of him, messing with his hair. "Nick," I whispered in his ear.

He shuffled, letting out a groan before adjusting himself.

"Nick," I sang, resting my chin on his shoulder, poking his cheek.

"Yes?" he sighed.

"Wake up please," I said while running my fingers through his hair.

"Five more minutes," he mumbled.

"We leave in an hour and lunch is in thirty so get up," I drummed my fingers on his shoulder blade.

"Okay, I'm up," he sighed in defeat, propping himself up on his elbows. I rolled off of him and lay beside him, staring at the ceiling. "Kiss me," he mumbled sleepily.

"Not if you don't wake up," I turned to him.

His eyes snapped open and he leaned in, stealing a kiss before I could protest.

"Idiot," I chuckled while pulling away.

"So this is the infamous Six Flags, Atlantis," Zoey said we stood in front of the gates.

"I can't believe we're doing this," I mumbled while looking up at the dead place, squinting at the sun.

"Well, we are," Landon said. I adjusted the backpack on my shoulders and looked around a little more.

"Ready?" Nick asked before running up to the gate and hopping it.

"Is this legal?" I asked in confusion. He didn't answer.

"Does your dad know we're here?" Zoey asked Nick while heading to the gate with Landon.

"No," Nick said while dusting his pants and hands.

"Then this is definitely not legal," I mumbled.

"What's everyone else doing today anyway?" Landon asked while jumping down, helping Zoey.

"More shopping," Zoey answered him.

"You coming?" Nick looked at me. I'm the only one that's not inside that place yet.

"I don't know, Nick..." I trailed off doubtfully. This can't be a good idea.

"Trust me, Em," he nodded reassuringly. I sighed in defeat before throwing the bag off, tossing it over the gate to Nick who caught it with ease.

"Aren't you gonna help her?" Landon looked at Nick with confusion.

"She's hopped a fence and gate before, she can do it," he smirked at me while I mumbled a prayer before jumping, crouching down so I didn't break an ankle from the impact, balancing the force out on my hands.

"Jesus," I mumbled while dusting my hands together, taking my bag from Nick.

"What did you bring in that?" Nick chuckled as we began heading further.

"Snacks, water, a jacket, and a flashlight," I mumbled. "Tell me I'm not the only person smart enough to bring all this. What are you gonna do? Order pizza in here?" I asked, looking at all of them.

"I guess you are," Zo mumbled.

"How long are we staying here anyway?" Landon asked.

"As long as we can," Nick shrugged while leading us to the first water slide in sight.

"This place would have been so cool if it was still open," Landon mumbled.

"Why did it close anyway?" Zo asked.

"Hurricane Andrew in 1992 completely ruined this place. They closed it off and sold whatever was still in decent condition off in an auction. Most of this entire park which was humongous was sold. A part of it now has retail shopping. Oakwood Plaza, and there's a Kmart where the wave pool was in this place. There used to be a little submarine in the parking lot here which you could still see, but I don't know if it's still there. Now what's left of this place is this," I sighed while staring at the area.

"How the hell do you know all this?" Nick asked, looking at me curiously.

"I like looking into abandoned places, let's go," I shrugged while hopping onto the water slide, walking it up.

"You sure you wanna go that way?" Zoey asked, looking at all the dust collected on it.

"Well, you can't go that way," I pointed to the stairs that led to the top of this ride which were barely standing. Half of the stairs weren't even there anymore.

"I'm sure it'll hold," she shrugged.

I looked around, finding a little rock. I turned to the stairs and threw it. It hit one step at that too collapsed onto the ground. "You sure?" I turned to them.

"Okay," Nick shrugged before hopping onto the slide, following me up with the other two behind us.

There's no way breaking into here is legal. But it sure is a lot of fun.
