Chapter 4- the fair.

"Sometimes the people you wanted as part of your story are only meant to be in one chapter"

We get to the fair with each of us buying our wristbands then head to a roller coaster.

Rubbing my hands together plotting a perfect plan to go eat all the food here, I smile.

I look crazy

"Okay who wants to get on it with me" josh says really excitedly. I feel bad I just don't like roller coasters they scare me.

I'd rather jump in a volcano, without lava in it of course

"Umm how about all three of y'all get on and I'll go buy myself cotton candy" I come up with a great plan giving josh a thumbs up.

"Yep sounds great come on besties" josh yanks jakes hand and goes to grab Damians hand but he backs away takes my hand and walks with me the direction of the cotton candy.

I think he likes my company the most. I'm his favorite friend I bet

I wave to the two while jake yanks his hand away and slaps Josh's shoulder as josh is laughing.

"So what rides do you like" I continue asking questions while he ignores me

He's quiet but it's okay I talk a lot I can talk for both of us.

"If we're going to spend an hour together you can talk back you know" I tell him with a smile and small hope he talks back

"Yea"

"Come on" he whispers softly towards me and I'm so in trance with his voice, I blindly follow him.

We stop and I take the second to collect myself and look at my surroundings.

"we're going on that roller coaster" he points to a big one. Heck no I'm not getting on that death trap. Nope I refuse.

I'll be dead when I ride a rollercoaster.

"No I'll wait here" I deadpan, giving a thumbs up he'll be fine.

"Okay" he mumbles and when I think he's walking away he grabs my hand and drags me with him to the line and keeps me there until people come in line behind me.

I almost turn to yelling and pointing at him 'kidnapping me' but that would just seem like nonsense since I'm just standing in line.

Great now I'm trapped between people. I could easily go through them all but that's too much work.

"I'm going to punch you and knock you out."'I warn him

"You'll be fine I promise you won't die" well how does he know.

Is he god? Is he Jesus?

"If I die I'm haunting you." I state seriousness in my voice. That'll be fun.

"Okay" he grumbles with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"You two come on"

"Wristbands or tickets" we show him our wrist bands. Then make our way to our seats.

I'm gonna die.

Jesus im coming.

Grandma ann I'll see you soon.

"God please make my death not painful" I mumble under my breath clipping my seatbelt

It's not my fault I'm scared of heights and rollercoasters. I've seen many videos of people falling off them. What if I'm the next unlucky one.

Before it starts I turn in my seat facing Damian "I hope you have the unlucky seat on this ride not me" I state popping the t.

No way am I dying at the hands of a roller coaster that'll be boring,now a shark attack will be a cool way to go.

"Wait maybe not im sorry for saying that" I apologize because well, karma exist people.

He looks at me and glares while i grab onto his hand.

I'm going to squish him.

"you're not fucking dying" he grumbles beside me, an annoyed look plastered on his face.

Who does he think he is. I'll wipe that annoyed look right off his face.

"Don't look at me like that weirdo" I'll throw him off this rollercoaster. Heck yea I will.

Wait a frickin minute.

We're besties. Me and Damian yep he just doesn't like to brag about our absolute amazing friendship.

While im thinking about a few things. Mostly how I need to use the loo and also want a funnel cake I'm interrupted."Okay now.." the ride person who handles everything says a few things then it starts.

We're going up. I'm going to knock Damian out. He made me come. Yep he pointed a gun at me.

Well not really but still.

We get up to the top and I realize it's not bad.

I look over to Damian and he's looking at me no emotion on his face but I swear I almost see a smile while I on the other hand can't control my hyena laughter.

I have a weird feeling in my tummy throughout the ride and can't tell if it's from how fast it's going or from how Damian's let me hold onto his hand.

The ride comes to an end and I realize it's the second option because of how my tummy feels while he leads us back to the front, still in fact holding his hand.

"I didn't die" I grin to Damian.

I mimic Damian and turn my frown upside down then sigh loudly and stare at him. I decide he needs to smile so I take my fingers and drag his lips upward into a smile. He stares at me completely annoyed and unamused.

I wink at him twice then go to wink a third but an old mind wonders by so my wink turns to him. He gives me an odd look and scurries away.

I wonder why.

After winking 2 more times and then wiggling my eyebrows at him he puts his hand over my face and I bite it.

"Fucking little shit" he grumbles out. Wonder who he's talking about hehe.

We're just bestie goals.

Anywho since I like the ride Very much I decide to drag Damian to 4 more rides before deciding to meet back up with josh and jake.

This is odd Abbie still hasn't answered I'm a little worried. Is she still working? My friend better get paid good this week.

If she doesn't I'll rob the restaurant.

"Can you believe them they made her work all day fricken 12 hours." I rant on to Damian clearly upset.

"I'm going to knock out our bosses" I nod a few times agreeing with myself.

"yep that'll teach them" I continue my rant. He stares at my blankly but I'm sure he's agreeing with me.

"don't do that." Damian mumbles holding my hand.

Physical touch I like it. I swing our entangled hands. Sometimes he can be nice, mostly he's a prude who doesn't respond to my text or FaceTime calls.

He's buttering my biscuits.

He's fricken melting my butter.

He's toasting my toast.

"look there's our friends" I yell a little too loud pointing while dragging Damian right behind me.

"Hey bestie!" Josh yells back. "Hey dude" I greet back.I leave Damians side and start telling josh about the rides and how fun they were.

I enjoyed all of them

I'm hungry.

I want chicken nuggets.

"I'm proud of you for getting over your fear Rose" jake punches my shoulder in a friendly way and I chuckle lightly.

Just as josh starts telling me about one ride where he threw up after from eating a lot I hear laughter that sounds familiar.

I turn my head towards the gate where we're exiting and spot Abbie. When did she get off? And why hasn't she answered? Maybe her phones brok- i stop mid thought when I see she has it in her hand.

The guys look at me as I make my way towards Abbie who's surrounded with our co-workers.

Why the heck didn't they invite me. I'm the light of the party.

They probably forgot.

"Ummm abbie.." I tap on her shoulder.

"Fucking bitch" I hear her whisper under her breath.

Is she talking about me?

No she loves me. And I love her. We're besties

"What" she questions quite angrily

I look at her shocked before answering nicely "I was worried you didn't answer my text"

"I don't have time to be answering you I'm fucking busy" she tries to walk away back to her new friends but I grab her hand and stop her.

"Why are you being mean? Did I do something? I'm sorry I don't kno-" she cuts me off.

"Just shut the fuck up you talk too much I'm going to smoke a bit more then head home" she grumbles leaving and ripping her wrist out my hand.

I just stand there tears in my eyes.

She's my bestie what did I do to make her mad? Gosh darn it the tears are falling.

Maybe something is wrong with me.

I'm pulled towards a familiar chest and wrap my hands around his neck while letting the tears fall silently.

"It's okay she just needs a bit to calm down she's high as fuck. you did nothing wrong she's being a bitch for no reason."he tells me trying to make me feel better.

"It's okay just don't look at me you'll get scared and mistaken me for shrek" I warn. I'm being serious my face is probably swollen. I ate a pretzel and that already made me look like a puffy ball.

I like to make jokes in serious situations.

"Come on rosaline we can go to damians house he has a pool we can swim late night swims are fun too" I smile at jakes attempt at trying to help me feel better.

"Okay but I can't swim so if I drown I'm coming back and taking y'all down with me" Oh they think I'm joking but I can assure you I'm not.

I crack my knuckles to show how serious I am and nod.

"I won't let you drown" josh tells me fixing my hair.

"Yes and also remember I know where the good Oreo ice cream is so without me you have to eat nasty plain Oreo ice cream" that'll definitely convince them.

Cackling randomly I wipe my tears and pull out a pack of gummy bears and start eating them humming happily and ignoring the confuzzled looks on the three boys faces.

I glance up at them. "What?"

Josh has his eyebrows furrowed. "Weren't you just sad" I throw my head back in laughter.

"No i don't get sad" i fib. " I'll talk to her tomorrow but currently I'm happy because I remembered about my gummy bears"

I show the bag to josh silently asking 'if he wants any' he shakes his head silently telling me 'no'

I do the same to the other two and only jake grabs a handful and starts eating them.

"Well come on now dudes let's go swim" I tightly hold my gummy bears in one hand then reach to grab Josh's hand in the other to drag him with me to the car.

The fella isn't having that and grabs my hand then drags us to the car. He sits with me in the back seat.

Maybe he loves how soft my hands are. I have the lotion I use in my purse I'll give him some!

We get in and like I said, I take out my lotion that smells like lavender and tap on his shoulder.

He looks at me and gives me a suspicious glare.

I take one of his hands in mine and apply the lotion His face softening and he relaxes. I then rub it in, Humming while I do it.

Damian then takes his hand away and I look at him confused. Does he not like the scent?

I throw that thought out the door when he gives me his other hand and I do the same thing. "Look since you like my soft hands this right here" I point to the bottle. "Is the miracle worker. Feel your hands" he feels them and gives me a slight smile.

"Thank you" he's such a kind person.

"You're welcome" I put the lotion back in then lean my head on his arm. he removes it and wraps it around me.

We're such great friends.

"Can I borrow some of your lotion too Rose" josh turns his body and questions.

This must smell even better than I thought.

I nod but before I can hand it to him Damian takes it shoves it back in my hand then reaches under his seat and pulls out another lotion bottle and throws it at josh hitting him in the face.

"What the fuck man" josh exclaims upset while angrily rubbing lotion on his hands.

I roll my eyes and just get comfy on him again.

I already love these guys. Maybe I love to easily. Ehhh oh well I don't care I do what I want.
