Hope's POV
The ride to the fair was long and awkward. Dylan had yet to let go of my hand- not that I minded- and everyone was staring at us with awkward smiles on their faces. I felt Dylan tug on my hand and I turned to look at him.

"What's wrong Hope?" He searched my face anxiously lifting his other hand to smooth out the frown in my forehead.

"Why is everyone looking at us like that?" I questioned confusedly shifting to rest my head on his shoulder. He looked around at everyone's cooing expressions and chuckled. He looked down at me with a strange expression on his face.

"Don't worry about it."

At the fair
Still Hope's POV

Once we arrived at the fair everyone split up leaving me and Dylan to fend for ourselves. I looked around anxiously at all the games and rides before turning to look at Dylan. "Um so what do you want to do?" I asked shuffling slightly feeling incredibly out of place. He smirked slightly noticing my anxious antics.
"Have you ever been to a fair before?" He looked at me curious. I shook my head quickly feeling my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

"Hey it's okay. Everyone has to have their first at some point!" He smiled at me encouragingly rubbing my arms. "Let me show you how to have fun!" He smiled widely grabbing my hand and dragging me towards the bright lights and laughter.

Later on at the fair

Dylan's POV
"There's one more thing we have to do before we go!" I dragged Hope excitedly towards the ferris wheel. She sighed shaking her head at my childish excitement. I bounced excitedly in line waiting to board.

"Why is it so important we ride the ferris wheel?" She looked at me cluelessly and slightly concerned. Because it's the most romantic thing for a date. I felt myself begin to blush at my thoughts. I felt Hope begin to stare at me confusedly and I quickly shook my head smiling awkwardly at her. "You'll see!"

I looked around at the night sky as we started rising to the top. I looked over at Hope to see her doing the same thing. Finally we got to the very top and the ride stopped.

"What's going on?" Hope looked around anxiously grabbing onto my arms.

"Hey calm down, the ride probably just broke down. They'll get it fixed in no time!" I looked at her terrified expression sadly feeling my heart break over her anxiety. My eyes widened as she started hyperventilating and sweating.

"Hey, Hope look at me! Breathe baby, breathe!" She looked fearfully at me her eyes welling with tears as she attempted to calm herself. I began to lean towards her trying to think of ways to calm her down when suddenly I felt the ride begin to move again. I sighed in relief as we began to make our way back towards the ground. I looked over at Hope to see her breathing slightly settled. We quickly got off the ride and I enveloped her in my arms.

"It's okay, you're safe. I'm here."
