"Oh hey this one looks fun." I suggested as we passed a rollercoaster with a loop in it.
"Sure it does." Alex gulped.
"Aww are you scared ?" I asked as i poked his ribs.
"No." he replied seriously.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I held his hand.
"No, I- I'm not." he glanced at the floor.
"Okay. Don't go all emo on me babe." I teased.
"Fuck you." he muttered as he stalked away, leaving me behind.
"Alex!" I called after him, panicked, following him. I have anxiety, I don't like to be left alone in a public place with no one I know. The fact that my boyfriend dissed me wasn't helping.
"Alex please." I said weakly as i reached for his shoulder.
"What? Not done making fun of me?" he spat a little too loudly. People were starting to stare. I led us around a corner.
"I didn't think you were serious Alex. Talk to me. Whats wrong?" I said gently.
"That ride. Its not that I'm afraid okay. Its just- thats where I found out my mom died. I haven't been here since then & i completely forgot how much it got to me & seeing the ride where- I just- I'm sorry babe." he explained.
"Hey, hey. Its okay. I know how hard it was for you. But we got through it remember? Im here for you. And your mother wouldn't want you to stop doing things because she left. Just calm down. Its okay. Wanna go meet the others now? 2 hours is enough."
"No, you deserve a better two year anniversary." he insisted.
"The fact that I can celebrate two years with you is enough. Alright? Lets go." I assured him as I led him back to the shore. Why didn't I remember thats where he found out? It was our fifth date. Im so stupid. I thought as we continued walking.
