(Jace Norman Fanfic) From P.A To C.A

17) Disney! Part 2

We wait in line for about an hour and in that time I was both embarrassed and pleased.  At the same time.  Some people kept asking Jace and I for autographs.  Others gave confused looks.  Most just looked disgusted.  Especially, the people in front of us.  Or should I say person.  It was a little girl and her father.  The little girl was thrilled!  The father...not so much.  The little girl was about 7 and had cute, little, blonde, pigtails that were tied up with ribbons.

She kept asking us questions and we would answer politely.  I kind of went behind Jace, though, because that guy was giving me chills.  I feel like I know him, but I don't know how.  He made me feel something inside.  I felt like I was connected to both of them.

We finally got to the front and got into the car.  We go up a little then stop.  Then, a little more until we are at the beginning.  The ride starts.  I can't see anything because it is pitch black the whole way through.  It was very exciting and very fast.  I felt like we just kept going in circles but when I asked Jace he said he didn't notice.

It didn't feel like we went upside down.  After the ride I saw the man and his daughter go over to a beautiful women and a baby boy. 

"Well, that was fun!" I exclaim.  "But, can we ride something less hecktic?"

"Hum."  Jace strokes his chin.  "There is one ride that's pretty cool.  Come on."  He grabs my hand and takes off running.  I'm practially dragged to a ride called 'Finding Nemo Submarine voyage.'

He lets go of my hand and I ask/read, "Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage?" 

"Yeah.  It's fun.  The first time I want on it I was like 9, but there were kids on here that were like 5.  So, I think you can handle it."

"Oh I don't know.  It sounds scary!"  I say scarcastically and roll my eyes.

Jace rolls his eyes, too but, laughs.  "Let's get in line."

We get in line.  It's a shorter line than 'Space Mountain.'  We get to the front of the line pretty quickly. "Right this way." The worker says.  We step onto this yellow submarine.  The worker opens the door. All I can see is spirling steps going down.  As soon as we get down the steps there are a bunch of seats facing the windows.  I pick one closest to the steps and Jace sits down next to me.

Now, what sounds like an Australian guy talks over a loud speaker, "We would like to welcome you aboard.  As the conditions of our Voyage may be unpredictable, please remain seated at all times.  Stand by to dive."

We start going faster and downward.  I think about when Ted, my *shudder* dad, used to take me fishing.  We used to have a lot of fun until he left.  I don't want to think about it anymore.  I grab Jace's hand and squeeze, tightly.

He looks down at our hands then, over at me.  "You okay?"  He asks really concerned.

"Yeah," I let go of his hand and shake my hand.  "Just thinking."

"About what?"

I sigh.  "Ted."

"Oh." He pauses.  "You know what?  Don't worry about him.  He can go off and do what ever the heck he wants, but you and I are going to have a great day.  Okay?"

I start crying softly.  "Yeah. Okay." I look up at him and wipe my eyes.  "Thanks."

Once the ride is over we go get lunch at a place called, 'Redd Rockett's Pizza Port.'  We sit down and a waiter takes our order.  I order a slice of stuffed crust pizza with bacon and cheese.  Jace orders a stuffed crust with just cheese.

"I'm sorry." I say silently.  

"You have nothing to be sorry about."

"Yes, I do.  I- I..." I shake my head trying to think about what to say.  Then, it comes bursting out of me like a volcano.  "I'm sorry.  You keep trying to cheer me up and I keep turning you down.  The second time you came over to my house, you asked me to sing for you.  So, I picked a song to show you I was tough.  I felt like I needed to show off because you are popular and famous, and I was just a girl.  Then, you complemented me and and I acted like it wasn't a big deal.  But, inside I was jumping up and down becasue The Jace Norman liked my singing.  It was a big deal to me.

"And I keep acting like I'm strong, but the truth is, I really miss Ted.  I miss him taking me fishing.  I mean, I know that I didn't really like fishing and it was the only thing he did with me.  But, I still miss him.  I don't like admitting that.  For some reason, however, I feel like telling you.  Your so popular and everyone likes you.  It wasn't like that for me.  I always felt like everyone didn't want to hang out with me, but did anyway.  Like they were being paid to hang out with me, you know?  Oh yeah, you never felt that way because people like you.  But, I feel like for once in my life, someone actually want to talk to me.  And that person is you, Jace.  So, I'm sorry for trying to be a person I'm not.  You don't have to hangout with me anymore.  This day is enough to last me a life time."

By the end i'm bawling.  I have to run outside.  I don't care if anyone saw or sees me like this.  I don't care anymore.  Jace probably hates me for making a big scene, but I don't care.  Okay, maybe I do care if Jace likes me.  Every time Jace is around me I feel energy I never felt before.  Saying that big speech made me realize what a terrible person I am.  But, I really do hope he still likes me.

Jace runs out behind me a few seconds later, tears running down his face, too.  I don't know why he would be crying.  It's not like he just admitted that his whole life infront of everyone.  Maybe he dosen't hate me.

For a second he just stands there.  Silent tears crawling down his cheeks.  Then, he comes over and gives me the biggest and most conforting hug I have ever been givin.  He doesn't let go for about 5 minutes.  We just stand there.  Jace hugging me.  Me hugging him back.  I'm kind of glad he doesn't say anything.  His hug is worth much more than words will ever be able to say.
