Chapter 5

"It's impossible for me to hide during these games, my hair makes me so easy to spot!" Exclaimed Mahogany.

"I know the perfect place for a base, follow me," As Mat finished his sentence he turned and began walking, the rest of the group followed.

As everyone followed Mat it was evident how empty the hotel really was, there were small groups of security at certain doors but there were no other guests in sight and even the lobby was free of hotel staff. They were free to use to whole hotel as a playground.

As they walked through the last set of doors, Jack Johnson informed the security that the boys planned on playing a game and would be probably be running around to make it clear that there was nothing wrong, the security guard reluctantly accepted.

The last set of doors led to the pool area which was bang in the middle of the hotel. It was surrounded by white deck chairs and above them were balconies to the rooms. It was a calm warm evening and the pool was lit up in a typical light blue by under water lights, on the near side of the pool to the boys there was a water fountain.

"Right, this can be the base!" Mat shouted pointing to the water fountain as he strayed from the group.

"Everyone has to touch this to be safe!"

"So how we gonna decide who's guarding?" Carter queried.

"I'll be guard for the first game" Jack Gilinsky said raising him arm, smiling.

Jack was the fittest in the group, he spent a lot of time in gym and had the body of a man, compared to some of the other boys who were really still boys in terms of their body shape.

"If Jack see's you he'll catch you, the guy has mad speed" Cameron joked.

"Alright let's get going, I'll keep my eyes closed and count to sixty facing the fountain, ya'll go hide" Jack said just before he started counting loudly.

"ONE, TWO" Everyone took off running. Mahogany followed Mat straight through the door they group had originally come through, Hayes, Carter and JC Caylen ran around the pool and up some stairs which lead to the next floor, Jack Johnson and Shawn hesitated before following Mahogany and Mat through the same door. There was an unoccopied bar beside the pool complete with stools and everything else you'd expect at a bar. Cameron and Nash ran towards it and hoped over the bar quitely.

"Why did we run here? He'll catch us easy, we're not even twenty feet from him" Cameron whispered.

"Dude I was following you" Said Nash with Jack still counting loudly in the background.

"Following me? You ran straight over here!"

"Alright shut up now he's almost finished" Nash pushed his hand into Cameron's face jokingly.

"FIFTY-NINE, SIXTY, HERE I COME" Jack Gilinsky took off running straight through the doors that Mahagony, Mat, Jack Johnson and Shawn went through.

"It's clear lets go!" Cameron got up ready to jump over the bar and sprint to the fountain, but Nash grabbed his arm.

"Here look..." Nash was holding a large glass bottle in his hand.

"Is that... dude, vodka" Cameron sighed.

"Nah, it's a big glass bottle of water with VODKA written on the front of it" Nash said sarcastically.

"Alcohol man? I don't think so" A slightly unnerved Cameron crouched back behind the bar.

"Who cares what's the worst that could happen?" Nash shrugged and cracked the seal as he unscrewed the lid.

"Alcohol's dangerous"

"Let's just try it, a little bit of it" Before Cameron could offer any resistance Nash brought the neck of the bottle to his lips and took a huge gulp.

Nash scrunched his face in disgust before handing the bottle over the Cameron.

"DUDE what are you doing?! And no way am I touching that" Cameron raised his voice.

"Shhhhhhh before someone hears us, try some, it taste kinda funny but feels good as well"

"I know what alcohol is, I know what it does, I'm not a retard Nash"

"Stop being a pussy just try some with me" Nash pushed the bottle further toward Cameron

"Fuck... Alright fine just a small bit" Cameron smiled taking the bottle and a large swig before handing it back to Nash, the smile gone and his nose wrinkled.

"That's fucking digusting bro"

Nash laughed as he took another large swig, his face tensing again before handing the bottle over to Cameron, this time Cameron didn't hesitate before taking a large swig.

"Alright that's enough now, no more, that's fucking rough dude seriously" Cameron shook his head in resentment before handing the bottle back to Nash.

"Holy shit dude, look at the percentage" Nash turned the bottle around so Cameron could see the label.

"Sixty percent alcohol content, whatever we only had two sips we're fine, right?"

"Yeah I guess so..."

"Fuck it let's get to the fountain" Cameron said standing up.

Both boys jumped over the bar and began running toward the fountain. As they did, Mahogany and Mat came bursting through the doors toward Cameron and Nash at full sprint, they were both looking over their shouders to see if someone was following them, unaware that they were bound for a collision with Nash and Cameron.

Nash quicky dodged Mahagony but Mat ran straight into Cameron, who erupted into laughter along with Nash and Mahagony as Mat fell straight to floor, Cameron only stumbling slightly.

"Holy fuck dude I didn't even see you" Mat got up smiling, holding his face.

"SHIT Mat your face" Mahogany exclaimed as the boys stopped laughing. Mat had scraped his face along the dry concrete and cut it quite bad, there was a bit of blood covering Mat's hand.

The rest of the boys came running out into the pool area but were quickly stopped in their tracks at the sight of blood on Mat's hand and face.

"Duuude what happened?" JC Caylen was the first to ask.

"I ran straight into Cameron and scraped my face, it doesn't actually hurt so bad really" Mat responded.

As the boys surrounded Mat a large security guard came bursting through one of the doors.

"What happened here? What happened to his face?" He asked, frowning.

"He fell... it was an accident" Nash spoke up from the group as the security guard approached.

"This doesn't reflect well on us at all... You all need to go straight to your rooms right now" The security guard gestured for Mat to follow him.

"I'll take him to get his face cleared up, sorry to ruin your game guys but you have to understand that it's our job to ensure your safety, this doesn't reflect well on us, you all need to head to your rooms."

The group sighed and began walking toward the elevator, as they reached it they were greeted by more security who were there to make sure the group went straight up to their rooms. Everyone stepped into the large elevator which was big enough to fit them all, Cameron pressed "4" and the button lit up.

"Hold on, where's Nash?" Cameron expressed looking puzzled.

The elevator doors began closing and as they did an agile Nash skipped into the elevator.

"Where were you?" Cameron queried.

"Just... had to use the restroom." Nash mumbled.

The group reached the fourth floor and headed into their respected rooms, Nash had a quick look into the hallway before he closed the door, the hallway was littered with security, the boys were definitely confined to their rooms for tonight.
