Erika's POV:

I lay in bed twisting and turning,opening and closing my eyes. After about an hour of swaying from side to side I sit up and see the view from the window. I stand up and walk over to the window and admirethe view,I open the window and kinda lean out getting fresh air from outside. I turn my head to the side and see a ledge, a ledge that I could climb onto to get onto the roof...And I like roofs!. I step my foot onto the ledge and then the other one,I pull myself up onto the top and see the view of the whole off Hollywood. "I see you have a thing for roofs" I hear a voice say as I turn around to find Jake standing over me. "You can't say much you are up here too" I say looking straight ahead of me,Jake sits next to me also admiring the view. "I thought you were tired" he says still looking at the view "I couldn't sleep" I say looking at Jake "why's that?" He questions,I stay in silnce for a couple seconds. "I erm..I'm scared." Jake looks at me instantly "Erika you are with me,Nothing will happen to you" Jake says in a serious voice "Its my parents Jake,What if they find me? what if they get the police here? What if they are really worried?" I say looking into Jakes eyes "They won't find you here,Nor will the police.We are safe here" he says also looking me in the eyes "Promise?" "Promise." "You have really comfy beds here by the way" I point out as Jake chuckles "I know right?" he says making me also chuckle. We sit on the roof for 20 more mins and I then head back down to my room and slowly fall asleep.

I feel sun shinning in my eyes making me wake up. I open my eyes and feel my eye lids flickering from the sun blinding me. I cover my eyes with my arm to stop the sun from blinding me and head out the bedroom door. I step out and instantly remember where I am and with who. I walk over to Jakes room to find him already changed "Morning Rik" he says making his bed "You are up early" I say rubbing my eyes "We have things to do today" He says walking towards me "get changed we are going out for breakfast" I nod and head to get a shower and get changed I put on a pair of denim shorts and a cropped hoodie and leave to find Jake at the front door. "C'mon princes he aint got all day" I chuckle and head down the stairs to the door "Where are we going to eat?" "Panera" he answers quickly "Dope" I answer as Jake chuckles. We get on the motorbike and head to the hollywood boulivard.

We sit down and get our food and begin to eat. "So what we gonna do after?" I ask Jake "Surprise" he says winking at me.What is he up to? we finish eating and head to the streets of hollywood boulivard.
