Around 7:30pm
Candy's POV
"What are we doing?!" An annoyed Jimmy yelled from his spot on the boardwalk.
"Just hold on a sec!" I yelled back fiddling with my camera as people walked past me. Once I turned it on I focused it on everyone standing together on the boardwalk. Matt, Val, Jimmy, Leana, Zack, Brian, Michelle, Johnny, and The Berry's all stood together.
"Say cheese!" I yelled taking the picture as everyone just groaned.
"I'm freezing my ass off!" Val yelled towards me as I looked over the picture. Even though everyone was freezing they all wore a huge smile in the picture. I heard their footsteps as they walked back over to me.
"Can we eat now?" Jimmy asked swinging his arm around Leana and leading the way. I nodded not taking my eyes off the camera as we walked to some burger joint. I smiled at one of the pictures I took of everyone as they were walking the boardwalk I had stayed behind a little taking pictures of the view and took one of everyone from behind. Everyone looked so carefree and happy. Jimmy was giving Leana a piggy-back ride, Matt and Val were holding hands, Zack and Johnny were laughing at something the Berry's were doing, and Brian was kissing Michelle on the cheek.
"That is actually a really good picture." Zack said coming up next to me taking my camera from my hands.
"I could be a professional." I joked grabbing Zack's hand.
"You could." He said seriously handing me back my camera. As I was about to set it back in my hand it was swiped from me.
"Jimmy!" I yelled as he ran ahead of me. He turned around with the camera facing Zack and I.
"How does it feel!" He said as he walked backwards holding the camera.
"Don't fall you goof." I giggled as he almost tripped. "Are you recording?!" I asked. Jimmy nodded.
"Dude!" I yelled as I ran towards him causing him to run from me.
"I'M BEING CHASED BY AND EVIL , RED HAIRED MONSTER!" He yelled into the camera as we both ran through the crowds of people.
I finally caught up to him and was able to jump on his back causing him to give me a piggy-back ride as I struggled to grab the camera.
"IT'S GOT ME!" He yelled spinning us around with the camera facing us as we both laughed hysterically earning strange looks from the people walking by us. The spinning slowed down as we both fell to the ground.
"Can I have my camera now?" I asked turning my head towards him as he struggled to catch his breathe. He handed me my camera as we both stood up and were greeted by the rest of the group.

"Are you two idiots done fooling around?" Johnny asked earning a smack from both Leana and Zack causing Jimmy and I to laugh.
"We certainty are." Jimmy said before crossing the street walking towards the restaurant.
"You can just tell that you two are brother and sister." Zack said as he held the door for me following me in. I just giggled as we made our way to the booth where the waitress took our drink orders and handed us our menus.
"No dude, she's perfect." Johnny said as the waitress came with our various different orders of drink.
"Define perfect" Brian said sipping his Guinness beer

"She's got this brown hair, and the most beautiful green eyes. Swear to god she's a goddess." Johnny explained.
"What's her name?" I asked
"Lacey." Johnny said. "AND I'm taking her on a date once tour is done." He finished with a huge smile.
"Damn, way to go short shit." I said earning laughs from the table and also a cashew to be thrown at me by Johnny.
After we all finished our burgers and split the bill, Zack insisting he paid for mine as well, we all stood up to leave.
"Anyone else got to pee?" I asked looking at the girls.
"I do!' Michelle said letting go of Brian's hand and following me to the bathroom as everyone else made their way towards the exit.
After a few minutes we both had finished our business and made our way towards everyone who were waiting by the door.
"Where's Zack?" I asked as he was not with the rest of the group as we walked out the door.
"He's on the phone." Matt said pointing his thumb a little ways from where we stood. I looked to see Zack's back facing us as he leaned against the brick wall, my purse in his hands. I giggled at the site of a nice built man like Zack with his various tattoos peeking out from the white t-shirt he wore, standing with a cheetah print purse. I walked to stand in front of him when I realized the look etched on his face as he listened to the person's voice on the other side of the phone.
"Who is it?" I asked him as he looked down at me. I balanced on my toes to try and get a listen to the call as Zack's right arm snaked it's way around my waist so I wouldn't fall.
"Listen here, pal. I know where you live and i know where you work. So you probably should just give her the phone before I get really pissed." The voice said on the other side of the call. That's when I realized that Zack was not talking on his phone, but mine and he was talking to Chris.
"Yeah, alright. You need to knock your shit off because she's not interested. She doesn't want to talk to you or be with you. So you need to back the fuck off before I get the police involved." Zack said his voice getting deeper and angrier as he spoke. I leaned my head on his chest to hear his breathing was erratic.
"FUCK YOU." he suddenly yelled closing my phone making me jump back slightly.
"What'd he say?" I asked as Zack threw my phone back in my bag and handed it to me.
"Nothing, but you're getting a new phone and new number." He said taking my hand and leading us back to the bus.
"He's a prick. He said how that once you get back home he's going to prove his love for you and shit." Zack said as he walked faster than I could keep up.
I stayed silent as we made our way back onto the bus and sat with everyone else. Zack explained to everyone what had happened and Jimmy almost broke the mini-fridge because he punched it so hard.
"Can't you just get a restraining order against him? He is basically threating you, right?" Matt Berry said from the other side of the couch. I shrugged my shoulders.
"We'll have to figure it out once we go home for Christmas." Zack said standing to grab another beer for him and Johnny.
"I knew he was a dick from the start." Val said shaking her head. I sighed standing up and making my way into the backroom and into the bathroom. It was around 10:30pm now and I was tired. I changed into some sweatpants and made my way out. I was greeted wit Zacky leaning on the opposite wall of the bathroom.
"Hey, you alright?" He asked as I walked towards him and hugged him.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled into his chest. He pulled me away slightly to look me in the eyes.
"Why are you sorry?" He asked concern written all over his face.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Because you didn't sign up for all of this drama." I said
"Well, technically I did." He said chuckling. "But you don't need to be sorry, Shrimp. It's nothing we can't handle. We'll figure it out, I promise." He said as he wrapped his arms around me once more.
"I love you." I whispered softly burying my face into his chest making him chuckle.
"Let's go to bed." he said guiding me to the bunk.
