Sadie's POV

Gilinsky looks at me and says

"So whats up with not like roller coasters? I mean most people love roller coasters, but you seem to hate them."

I start laughing and say

"Dunno, just never realy like them."

"Sadie, you are weird."

"Well thank you Mr.Gilinsky."

"This seems so weird, but do you wanna go on the balloon ferris wheel?"

"Ehh I'm kind ain the mood for the helicopter ferris wheel."

He holds his arm out for me and says

"Well then m'am might I have the honor of escorting you to the beloved world-class helicopter ferris wheel?"

I start laughing and say

"Of course you may."

We stand in line for 3 minutes or so once we get to the ferris wheel and we get in a helicopter and close the door and Gilinsky says

"So next week we get to fly to Chadron."

"Unfortunately you guys are coming, but yes."

He dramatically puts his hand over his heart and says

"Do you not want me there?"

"No, it's not that, it's just that I hate when people watch me dance."

"Most people would love the attention, bu- hey wait, why do you compete in front of hundreds of people but when its us you can't stand it."

"I don't like when people I know watch me, it makes me feel like I have alot of pressure on me, I set high expectations of myself and I don't like when people are dissapointed in me."

He stares at me for a few seconds and says

"Sadie, I saw all your trophies, and crowns. You so successful and your parents and Nate are proud of you regardless of how you do."

I mumble under my breath

"Yeah, that's why I see my parents once a year."

"What?"

"Nothing. Just never mind."

I look away from him and out the window. He grabs my arm and says

"Sadie look at me, Nate is always proud of you. Your and national champion and your well known all around the country, that's something to be proud of."

I smile at him and say

"Thanks Jack, I needed to hear that."

He lets of my arm and pretty soon we're getting off the ride. We meet up with the guys and Sam says

"I don't about you guys but I am so ready to go. It's way to cold."

I notice JJ and Sam kinda bouncing up and down at how cold it is. We agree to head home and I get back in the suburban with Gilinsky and he says

"You cold? You can wear my hoodie again?"

He hands me his hoodie and and I put it on and fall asleep.

********************************

I wake up and notice I'm being carried up the stairs. I notice that it's Gilinsky carrying me and he says

"The other guys went to some club or something, and asked me to bring you home."

We get to my room and he says

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning..."

"Jack wait!"

He turns around and says

"Yeah?"

"Uhm, your hoodie..."

I go to take it off and he says

"No, it's fine keep it."

He walks out and I go to my bathroom and change into some white spandex and put Jack's hoodie on, with some navy blue socks to match his hoodie. I walk downstairs and Jack looks at me smiles and says

"Nice hoodie."

I smile back and grab a dragonfruit vitamin water and head back up to my room. I jump into bed and decided to watch The Last Song. I snuggle up into my blanket and my door opens and I see Jack. He says

"Uhm, I just wanted to come uh, says good night...so uhm goodnight."

"Wait, Jack you can uhm stay if you uhm wanna I mean you don't have to if you don't want to, but uhm I mean."

He smiles and pull his shirt off to reveal his toned chest and he comes and gets into bed with me and I instinctively cuddle up into his chest. He runs his fingers through my hair and says

"Stop fighting the sleep baby girl."

I smile at him calling me baby girl and as I slowly fall asleep he whispers

"You're so beautiful regardless of what anyone tells you or what you think."
