Serena's POV
I looked outside of the taxi window at one of my favorite cities. I love New York, and it will always be my home even if it holds horrible memories. And I'm sure for it to make more.
"So we're staying in a hotel in time square." Cameron said to me. I smiled at that. I love Time Square it is the best.
"Sounds great to me." I shrugged, "do I get my own room again?" I asked them.
"Yes," Chad nodded his head.
"Great then we're all good." I smiled.
We parked, and I quickly got out. I really want to go walk around the place, but I don't think it will be such a good idea.
"Wait Serena you know this city like the back of your hand so can you take me to that chocolate store here please?" Hayes asked.
"Um if that is okay with you." I looked at Chad.
"Fine with me. You two be safe now." Chad smiled.
"We will," I grabbed Hayes' wrist, and pulled him with me, "thank you so much. I really wanted to walk around." I laughed.
"Yes I understand, but I really want to go to the candy store." he smiled.
"Okay Hershy store we go," I led him there.
..
"Well so much for a summer body." I sighed looking at all the candy we got.
"So much for that eight pack." he laughed.
"I guess we're both giving something up for something even more perfect." I chuckled, and we went up. "you know the room number right?" I asked.
"Yes, we have a huge sweet for all of us." he smiled.
"Yeah figured," I said in a 'duh' tone.
"Aw you guys are back!" Cameron smiled, "Serena we put your bags in a room that has a huge window showing Time Square something we thought you would love." he smiled.
"Thanks! You guys are the best." I smiled. I made my way down the hall way, and saw my bags out side the door.
So much for putting them in for me.
But whatever I have a nice room... hopefully.
I opened the door, and quickly turned grabbing the bags.
"Well hey sugar mama."
I turned, and saw Matt laying on the bed.
"Matt!" I yelled, and ran up jumping on him from the bed. He laughed, and put his arms around me.
"I told you we would see each other soon." he smiled.
"I thought you had some stuff to do today," I said.
"I did it was coming here." he smiled.
"Yeah I love your choice of places to come." I nodded my head in agreement. He laughed, and pulled me down to kiss him. "I'm so glad you're here." I mumbled in his chest.
"I'm glad I'm here also, those were the longest two weeks of my life." he sighed.
"Tell me about it, I probably gained weight." I laughed.
"You look beautiful to me... maybe even more." he said sitting up slightly. I sat up, and straddled him.
"Is that a nice way of saying I'm fat?" I glared at him.
"No I'm not calling you fat." he laughed messing with my hair.
"Yeah sure," I joked with him. I brought my lips to it, and pretend he is the Matt I want him to be, and semi enjoyed it.
"So you know the city, and I want to take you some where..." he smiled.
"You just don't know where." I laughed.
"Yeah... what can you do in New York?" he asked.
"We can go anywhere. I really don't care." I shrugged my head.
"As long as you're with me?" he raised his eyebrows smiling.
"Yeah sure," I rolled my eyes getting off of him, I walked over to the chaster drawer lighting tracing the lines, "do you have something in mind?" I asked him
"A few," he stood up walking to me.
"Well how should I dress?" I chuckled.
"Doesn't matter you're perfect in everything." he shrugged, and came kissing my cheek. "okay now I have it!" he smiled, "it's 5 now lets' go at 7?" he asked smiling.
"Sounds good to me." I turned, "I can't wait," I bit my lip, and grabbing his hand.
"Neither can I... can we cuddle?" he asked randomly.
"Yes," I rolled my eyes playfully, and pulled him to the bed.
He laid down, and pulled me down. I grabbed my phone, and went onto YouTube. I clicked onto some videos he did with Jc, and Kian.
"What are you doing?" he asked laughing.
"I'm being swag." I answered, and looked at the screen. I laughed at how stupid they all are.
"How many views does our video have?" he asked.
"Almost 1 miillion." I smiled proudly, "like you said; everyone loves us!" I laughed
"I would love us too," he pulled me close. I set my phone down, and secede the momment.
I know this is so bad letting my feelings grow for the person he pretends to be. I hate how I have feelings. I'm sure I always did, but I never got treated like this so yeah whatever.
..
I curled my hair, and put on simple makeup. I put on a white romper. I put a black blazer that goes to my waist, and my black converse high tops. I don't take that long to get ready so I'm done in an hour. It's almost seven so I put on some perfume, and walked around my room.
"Serena," Matt knocked on the door. I opened it, and smiled at him. I grabbed my bag that went around over my shoulders. It has my phone, and money in it.
"Hey I'm ready." I smiled.
"You look good." he hugged me. I grabbed his hand, and he took me to the door. "hey guys don't wait up!" Matthew called.
"Wait!" Chad said. We both stopped looking at him, "umm..." he looked between us both, "don't do anything stupid," he looked at Matt, "but also it's suppsed to rain tonight so yeah just be careful." he cleared his throat awkwardly.
"We'll be fine I promise." Matt assured.
"Again nothing stupid." Chad said as we walked out.
"I love this city." I smiled looking around.
"It is beautiful." he nodded his head.
"So where to?" I asked.
"Well I know this nice restaurant here in Time Square." he smiled holding up his arms.
"Awesome I can't wait." I laughed.
We walked for a little bit. We got stopped a couple times, but I'm sure other people respected out privacy. We walked up to a very fancy retraunt. It was packed, and I don't even know if we will make it in.
"Reservation for Matthew," he said to the hostess.
"Right over here," she smiled, and led us to a table in the back.
"You did this?" I laughed, "a reservation is so fancy." I laughed.
"Anything for you," he shrugged.
We sat in front of each other, and smiled at one another.
"You didn't have to do this." I shook my head, "I would have been fine with anything." I shrugged.
"Yes I'm sure, but I wanted to do this for you." he smiled.
"I love it thank you," I said.
We talked for a little bit. We're in the back so no one is really paying attention to our loud laughter. We also talked while our food came in.
"So... are relationship has been going great." he smiled
"Yeah I know," I smiled, "so what made you take me here?" I asked.
"Well... I just had to tell you something." he smiled.
At this part of the meal we are done, and we've been here for a while now.
"What is it?" I asked chuckling.
"I-" he stopped talking, and laughing, "I don't have to say it." he shrugged.
"Well I don't know how to help you but..." I grabbed his hand, "you can tell me. Is everything alright?" I raised up an eyebrow.
"Yeah," he smiled, "it's all fine." he shrugged.
"Then what is it?" I laughed again.
"Serena," he looked around uncomfortable.
Is he breakng up with me here?! Wow I dressed up for this.
Classy.
Already I'm getting impatient, and pissed off .
"Matthew," I said sternly.
"Serena... I love you." he blurted.
I looked at his hand holding mine. I felt my eyes wide, and I pulled my hand away. Is he really doing this?! He has to mess with my feelings like this!?
"Serena?"
I met eyes with him.
"No. No you don't. Matthew I know what this relationship is... I know the whole 'prank idea you did with Taylor, and Carter, and I don't know you at all!" I shook my head.
"Who told you?" he looked down.
"Hayes. You really think I would believe you over my cousin?" I raised my eyebrow, "you can't just do this." I stood up, "you know what is so stupid?! Is how I was actually kinda liking you. Not the real you, but the person who you pretended to be." I felt water at the binge of my eyes.
"Serena please sit," he begged. I looked around, and sat.
"Okay the guessing game, so you, at first it was supposed to be like that. You pretending to like me to hurt me, and the next you never would have guessed you would fall for me. And for you to have the nerve to actually tell me you love me! What kind of sick game is this?!" I yelled and stood up again, "you think breaking a girls heart is funny?! Is a game! It's not Matthew! I'm sorry, but it's not gonna happen," I inhaled, "I'm done with this, I'm done pretending." I shook my head.
"Serena I'm sorry." he stood up also.
"No you're not." I shook my head, "you're free now give up. I never want to speak, or see you again."
I turned and ran out. I felt the tears coming out uncontrolable. I ran outside. If I go back I have to see him. I have no where... I looked up at all the flashing lights. I sighed, and started running. I don't know where yet, but it'll be good soon. Running is always a good thing for me.
My phone started riging. I stopped, and looked at it.
"Hello," I mummbled.
"Hello Serena we have good new."
"Deacon is this you?" I said.
"Yeah now-" I cut him off.
"It's not a good time right now." I mummbled.
"Not a good time to tell you that we found your brother?"
