Jay wasn't much of a screamer.
Though Jay yelled and scolded everyone around him quite often, you never could recall him screaming- especially not in fear.
Jay had always been pretty hardcore about things; it was sometimes hard to read his emotions or fully understand how he was feeling- let alone know what he was thinking about most of the time.
Unless Jay was yelling in anger or frustration at his younger friends, he always had pretty much the same facial expression. Although when he did smile, it was very admirable, and it was often because of you.
Tonight, you weren't quite sure what to expect. It wasn't hard convincing Jay to come along with you to the haunted house. Perhaps Jay just didn't find these types of things scary, or maybe he just enjoyed going to things with you. You had no idea. All you knew, was that you were more than ready for some good fun tonight. It had been a while since you got a break quite like this.
There was no time to waste, you rang Jays doorbell.
"Oh, you're dressed... quite fancy" you commented as you scanned Jay up and down. He had just finished getting ready to go out, appearing at his door with a collared polo and smart dress pants. Not to mention the expensive looking jewelry, a tie, and sunglasses? When it's dark outside?
You had dressed quite casually. The weather was getting too cold for your special section of your wardrobe recently, unless you layered, but that was a lot of work. You stuck to comfy black sweats and a plain oversized hoodie, styling it a bit with a cream-colored corduroy cap. Your hair was in a loose ponytail, and you had a small friendship necklace on. Jay had seen you bare faced many times so now you felt comfortable not even putting on any makeup.
"Thanks" he replied.
"What are the sunglasses for though? You do know that you could've dressed more casually, right?" you wanted to make sure he had not mistaken the event for a more formal type thing.
"I'm a fashionista."
That was something Jay said often, so you kind of expected it, accepted it, and moved on. He could dress however he wanted too anyway. Who's to stop him from feeling good about himself?
You had both made your way to the event after stopping to say hello to some familiar faces on the way. The wait time to get in was very short, so you were let in quite quickly.
You soon realized that this actually seemed a lot scarier than you had intended it to be. You held your breath and began to feel sweaty. Your stomach did flips in anticipation and anxiety.
"Jay" you began.
He hummed in response.
"I'm not so sure about this anymore" you continued.
He wrapped him arm around your shoulder and pulled you in closer to him.
"Let's not separate then."
You acknowledged his idea and stuck close by his side.
When the scares began, you had screamed and flinched a lot; you were enjoying yourself though.
Jay was relatively calm, not too surprising coming from him. He was more focused on the route of the place.
You had started to think that this was actually boring for Jay, when he instantaneously proved you wrong.
The next scare must have really caught Jay off guard because next thing you knew, Jays fist was flying toward the innocent staff members face.
"Oh my god Jay what did you just do???"
You weren't really sure on what to do now. The injured guy held his jaw groaning. You looked at Jay. He had a very regretful expression, filled with guilt.
Jay apologized like a maniac. He left no room to breathe between words.
The staff member began to laugh.
"Don't worry so much. This isn't the first time this has happened tonight" he said.
You didn't know how to feel about that.
"It's a part of the job. It means I really got you good huh?" he added on.
You still felt tense and awkward at the situation, but Jay looked relieved. He was laughing too now, realizing how intense his flight or fight reaction was. He helped the staff member up from the ground.
After a small talk, you continued on just as you had been to the very end.
When you found the exit, the light started to make your eyes partially ache. It took you a minute to readjust.
"I can't believe that just happened" Jay mumbled in disbelief still.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you were trying to get us arrested tonight" you declared.
Jay landed a hand on your shoulder.
"Hey, at least I got you covered if something comes and gets you" he laughed.
You smiled and then stared at something that had caught the corner of your eye. Jay picked up on this and turned around to see for himself.
It was a small fair ground with a lot more activities.
"Hey what's the time?" you randomly asked.
Jay pulled out his phone which displayed '8pm' on it. He tilted the screen so that you could see the answer to your question.
"Is that Harry Styles?" you giggled at his lock screen.
"What?" Jay blurted in embarrassment, pretending he had no idea what you were talking about.
"Anyway, this place doesn't close until 10pm, we still have a lot of time. Should we?" you suggested eagerly.
Jay caught on quickly.
"Let's go then."
