Four Girls, One Band (5SOSFanFic)

Chapter 4 - "I know right! I'm starting to regret bringing them together."

Olivia's  POV

As soon as all of four of us walked into the theme park, Em was half-dragging Karly off to ride in the Green Lantern roller-coaster. Karly stopped and looked back at Gaby and I.

"Do you guys want to come on it with us?"

I declined, but Gaby agreed.

"Sure."

Karly looked at me.

"It's either come on this ride, or be the bag-woman. Your choice."

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, but I'm sitting next to so if I throw up, you'll have to deal with it."

"Stop being so dramatic, come on!"

The three of them ran towards the rapidly growing line, I ran after them and was about to join them, when someone tapped my shoulder.

I turned around and saw a roughly 40 year old woman frowning at me.

"You can't push in. You have to get in line."

"My friends are up there, the three teenage girls up there."

"Sure."

"Really, they are."

"Prove it."

I sighed and thought about how I could do it. I eventually decided on the loudest option. I opened my mouth and shouted their names.

"Em! Gaby! Karly! What should I do? An old lady won't let me join you!"

I saw the woman's expression dampen at being called old. I heard Karly reply from the other end of the line.

"Tell her where to stick it! Come on, we're almost at the front of the line!"

I turned to the woman and plastered  an obviously fake smile in my face.

"Well, I'm going to go join my friends now, don't move too quickly, I wouldn't want you to break your back."

I felt bad about insulting her, but she had pissed me off. When I reached the girls, they looked at me strangely.

"That was weird."

"Tell me about it..."

The people in front of us moved into their seats, we were excited to see that there were four seats up the front left.

By we I meant all of them except me. My stomach churned as I sat in the second middle seat, in the safety between Karly and Gaby. Em had taken the furthest seat, Karly in the one next to hers, then there was me and Gaby.

I was quiet as the man from the ride came around to check that we were secure in our seats. I clenched my ride-harness tightly as we started moving. I clenched tighter as we started climbing up the steep hill. I saw the first drop up-ahead and started hyperventilating. I suddenly remembered why I didn't go onto rollercoasters.  

The drop wasn't very far, but a scream still escaped my mouth. Karly and Gaby started laughing.

"Come on, Liv, it's not that bad."

I attempted to respond, but stopped when we started descending again rapidly. I screamed as loud as I possibly could as we went upside down and back up again in a loop.

My breathing was uneven now. I was officially hyperventilating.

I didn't scream as we twisted side to side so far that I thought we were going to fall off. Instead, my breaths became faster and shallower.
