Chapter 4: Over coming fears

2 days passed and I had made a great recovery, the doctor said.

Izzy woke me up, I was stiff from the uncomfy hospital bed. "What.." I said groggily. "You're free to go! Wanna go to the fair?" I looked at the clock. It was 3:45PM. "Holy sh-..." I started. "C'mon! Lets go get you dressed!" She said and grabbed my stuff, then I checked out, got my prescriptions for painkillers, then she drove me home and said she'd get my meds for me while I got ready. I thanked her and was relieved to be home. No one was home, thankfully, so I went into my room and got a shower. Then I got dressed into comfier clothes; a big black shirt with a cat-like animal on it and black tights, with knee-high red laced boots, and my nails done in a blood splatter pattern that Izzy did while I was asleep, and my knife necklace Ashton gave me. I brushed my hair and smoothed it out then sat on the curb, waiting for Izzy. I turned on my music and "Let Go" by my favourite band, 'Hollywood Undead' came on. I listened to it, mouthing the words quietly to myself. Then I remembered i needed money. I got up and went inside and grabbed $20, enough for somthing small to eat drink and a ticket. I went back out side and Izzy was there, looking annoyed. "What the hell took so long!?" She asked. I rolled my eyes and got in. "I was out here earlier, but I forgot my money, calm down!" I said and nudged her playfully. She nodded in a "oh yeah, suuuurrrreee" manner, and drove me to the fair. I looked at the rides and immediately got nervous. I hated heights, always have. Izzy noticed my vibe and smiled sympatheticly. "It's ok,.." She muttered. i nodded hesitantly. "O-ok.." I got out and took a deep breath. I looked at the rides, and regretted it. Ashton walked over with Ben and James. Ashton hugged me, and made sure I was ok. "You sure you're fine!?" He kept on asking. I nodded, giggling softly. "Yes,..I'm ok, Ashy" I smiled then he nodded as well, then walked me to the till, everyone following. Ashton spoke to the clirk as I did a head count. "Izzy, Jamie, Ben, me, Ashy...we're missing Jill.." I said quietly. I turned to tell Ashton, and he had payed for me. "H-hey!! I could've payed for myself!" I said, my face heating up with embarrassment. Ashton chuckled and smiled. "Well I wanted to pay for you,.." He said as the clirk asked for my wrist and put the wristband on me, then stamped my hand. "Thank you.." I muttered shyly to Ashton. He nodded and let the clirk do the same to him. "We're missing Jil-" i started then Jill came running. "Sorry! I got caught up with Zalgo.." She said breathlessly. "Its ok!" I smiled then got pulled to a ride by Ashton. I looked at it and my blood went ice cold. "You're not making me go on that.." I muttered quietly. It was the largest ride; you sat in a seat and it spun you upwards, side to side at high speeds and upside down. I was ridged. "It's ok, Angie!" He coo'ed and walked me up the steps. We had to take our shoes off so they wouldn't fly off and hit someone in the face. I put my phone in Ashton's shoe, so I wouldnt drop it and there was no need for me to take of my tightly laced boots! We sat side-by-side in the purple group of seats. I looked around me at all the gears and bars of the ride, trying to roughly estimate how much weight it could intake before snapping. My eyes darted to a man who walked into the middle of the ride and flicked a switch. He raised his hands up, telling us to do so as well. I raised mine and the safety bar clamped down over my chest. I squeaked, and my body tensed. Ashton seemed to be pumped and was grinning wildly. He looked and me then grabbed my hand. "Trust me Angie, it'll be ok! I've rode this ride 1,000 times and its FUN!" He said, smiling warmly at me. I nodded and squeezed his hand as the man jumped off and the ride started rising up. We were on the top by the time it was fully hoisted into the air, then it spun sideways and upside down. I screamed, but shortly realized before long...I was..laughing! I had let go of Ashton's hand and was laughing, and screaming 'weee!' Everytime we were spun upside down then round. When we got off I grabbed my phone out of Ash's shoe, then we looked at each other. "Again!?" We both said, then waited in line again. But this time Jill and Izzy were with us. Ben and James were at a giant boat that swung up so high, you lifted out of your seat and almost slipped out! Jill looked scared and I told her; it was fun! "Its so fun Jill!! You'll LOVE it!" She still looked shook. "We'll all go on bumper-cars after, ok??" She nodded and then we all got on. The ride started and I laughed the whole time with Ashton, as Izzy and Jill screamed. We got off and then went to the bumper cars as promised. "I call the red one!!!" Ash said, leaping over the chain as the guy unlocked it, and sat in it. I picked a purple one, Izzy a blue one, and Jill in one that looked like a ship. I was bumper to bumper with Jill, smirking. "I'm gonna get you!" She called, and I smirked. I had my wheel cranked so she'd miss me and I could swerve to hit her. "Dont bank on it~" I teased. The guy told us to keep our feet on the pedals at all times and to have fun! As planned, I swerved out of Jills way and hit her. The round went one and Ash and Jill ganged up on me and they both "T-boned" me. We all were giggling and laughing by the time we got out, and sat on a bench. Ben and James came walking with a large bucket of fries each. "You better be sharing.." Izzy said. I nodded. "Yeah! Be nice to the hospital kid!" I laughed and so did everyone else. "Be fucking thankful I am!" James said and handed Jill, me, and Izzy his bucket, while the boys shared the other bucket. We all went on every single ride. But I had to slow it down after the Zero-G, which Ash made me go on with him. I loved it, but it made me want to vomit. We ate cotton candy and went on the ferris wheel, which stopped at the top. I looked around and Ashton laughed. "Looks like your fear of heights has vanished,.." He said softly. I nodded and smiled. "Yup! But I still can't handle spinning.." He chuckled quietly and we went to the bottom and got out. We all met up and decided part ways and go home. I hugged the boys when each of them got dropped off by Izzy. When only the girls were left, they both looked at me with a smrik plastered onto their lips. "What?.." I questioned. "I think someone here has a crush.." Izzy grinned, my face turned bright red. "Who!? O-on who!?" Jill giggled and smirked more. "You...my dear have a crush on Ashton Edison,...don't you...?" She teased. "N-No!! I do not!" I bit my tongue. "She does.." Izzy gasped. "Shes biting her tongue!! She's lying!! She DOES like him!" My face turned crimson. I don't know if I like Ashton. I've never been attracted to someone like that. Yes, of course I enjoyed his company! He was very sweet, kind, caring...WHY the hell am I ranting!?! "Liars!" I spat coldly and crossed my arms across my chest. Izzy continued driving and dropped Jill off. "It's ok to like some one, Angie,..It's a normal human emotion" she said, driving me home. I got out and looked at her. I gave her a hug and went inside. My family was home and we ate supper. Chicken, with rice and salad. I wasn't overly that hungry so I went up sairs into my room and laid there. I ran back down and took my pain killers then told my parents I was gonna go to bed. My mom quizzed me on my day and the boys,.. After I then went to bed. I woke up at 4:30AM ish for no known reason again. I washed my face, had a drink of water then went back to bed. But I couldn't sleep. I kept on thinking about Ashton. "...I couldnt really be crushing on him?.. Could I? Nah! That's stupid." I thought out loud to myself quietly, then I slowly drifted back to sleep.
