Rollercoaster [Motough Fanfic]

chapter 15

“Un-scareable, huh?” Bethany asked Derek at the end of their rehearsal. 

“Yeah, babe. It was cute seeing you try, though.” Derek leaned forward to peck her lips, but Bethany leaned back. 

“Nuh uh, I am going to scare you if it’s the last thing I do.” Bethany crossed her arms. 

“And how do you suppose you’re going to do that?” Derek said, raising an eyebrow at her.

Bethany tapped her finger to her chin for a moment, before her eyes lit up. “A haunted house! C’mon there’s one like right down the road!” 

Derek laughed at her enthusiasm. “Okay, but it’s not going to work.” 

“Yay, okay! Let’s go!” Bethany said, wrapping her arms around his neck in an excited hug. 

. . .

They made it through the entire haunted house without any jumping or screaming. Well, Derek made it, Bethany was practically in tears because it was so scary. 

“I told you.” Derek smirked, “so what’s my prize?” 

Bethany shook her head, “um, Derek. I don’t really know how to say this, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately…about us, and I think we need to break up.” The smirk on his face vanished and his face turned white. “W-wh-what?” 

Bethany stayed silent for a while before finally bursting into a laugh, “I told you I could scare you! Ha- I win!” 

Derek sighed with relief before placing a gentle kiss on her lips, “that’s because I couldn’t imagine anything scarier than the thought of losing you.” 

Bethany smiled, wrapping her arms around his torso. She wasn’t expecting him to say anything like that, but she was so glad he had.
