CARA'S P.O.V - ITALY, ROME - 9:00pm

Right after Luke and Lauren left, Daniel and I had to have a discussion.

"Daniel? Come over here." I said as I patted the seat next to me. He walked over and sat down. "What's up?" He asked. "This feels weird. Dont you think?" I queried. "What do you mean?" He said. "Luke's been quiet ever since Lauren came." I said.

"Actually, Luke was shouting at me and Ryan, but then when Lauren walked in, he changed." Kayla interrupted as she looked up from her laptop. Daniel and I exchanged glances. "I hope hes safe with her. You know what he can be like.." I sighed. Daniel and Kayla nodded in thought.

"I guess we'll see how it goes." Daniel shrugged.

LAUREN'S P.O.V - ITALY, ROME - 9:18pm

"So where are we going?" I asked. We had gone to a quiet side of the city with dim lights lighting up the streets. There were beaten up apartments on each side of the street. It was creeping me out. The windows were broken on nearly every house. I doubted anyone lived on this street anymore.

"We're nearly there." He said. I stayed quiet. He did a sharp turn around a corner, causing the bike to nearly go on its side, my leg really close to the ground. I squeezed his stomach and I immediately felt his abs. Omg.

The motorbike started to slow down. We were approaching a huge dark building with at least 5 floors. Now only had I noticed it was a foggy night, causing the building to look even more creepy. I hopped off cautiously.

"Whats this place?" I asked curiously as I handed him the helmet. "Its a place I go to to relax and get away from everything.." He trailed off as he put the helmet down. He started to walk towards the building, making sure I was able to keep up.

"Who do you usually come here with?" I asked as I smiled.

"No one." He replied with a shrug. He saw my bewildered and probably slightly terrified face so he did a small smile. "Theres not much to show in here. I know its huge but I only use the top floor and the roof." He said as he unlocked the door.

"Do you like elevators?" He asked me when we started to walk through a dark beaten down dusty hallway. I HATED elevators. If theres a fear for elevators then I sure have it!

"Nah they're fine." I fake smiled. "Okay, wanna take one to the top so?" He asked before pressing to call the elevator. I nodded slowly, avoiding his eye contact. He shuffled a bit as he pressed the button. We stepped into the elevator together and as the doors closed, the elevator lights and even elevator music came on. I giggled to myself.

I saw his hands go into his pockets and my eyes shot down for a moment. He seriously could pull out a gun at any given moment.. was it weird I felt comfortable around him? I mean, sure I didnt at the bus station but now it feels like I've known him for beyond years.

We stayed painfully quiet for a while as I started to sneakily check myself out in the mirror. He cleared his throat and I snapped out of my day dream and looked up at him.

"So, those two dogs of yours, they seem cool." He said with a nod. I giggled at his attempt to try to make conversation in this small space. "Yeah they're really cool. Coolest dogs I know." I said with a smirk. He chuckled at my lameness and then the 'ding' noise went to show we were on the top floor.

I stepped out first and instinctively looked around the floor. The first thing I saw was like a workout area? I wouldnt know.

"So this is why you're really fit." I nodded happily to myself without realizing what I said.
