Coaster Of Horror

 Um well, hi guys! I made this for a thing at school, and I know I haven't updated in a long time, and I thought this story was decent, so i decided to upload it! It's just a short story, so you know, if your teachers are like "YOU HAVE TO SILENT READ RIGHT NOW!" But you really don't want to read something long, or not read a whole chapter of a book or somethin' you can just read this! YAY! I love you guys! sorry, no updates on this probably...

VOTE! COMMENT! FAN! now off to the story... *illusion happens and now your in the story*

I imagine the thought of going down that thing, as you get anxious going up, and then the cart tips down and runs down and around, as the wind scratches your face and you scream at the top of your lungs for no main reason at all. The horror of what can happen on it, with just one push of a button haunts my mind, and I immediately regret my reply.

“I’ll do it!” I say excitedly even though on the inside I know that I can’t.

The line stretches out so distant that I cannot see the start. I wait anxiously, while Keira and Lauren talk loudly about how fun this will be, I don’t think this is their first time on something so terrifying I could faint just thinking about it.

I can’t believe I was about to go on my very first roller coaster. I don’t know how I got dragged in to going on a fifty-foot roller coaster with loops and turns and very old tracks, which the thought of it does not comfort me.

“Ow, watch it!” I yell at the obnoxious guy that pushes me forwards.

“Come on Tessa! Your holding up the line!” My other companion Lauren shouts to me from the stairs, I guess daydreaming isn’t the best to do while in line for the busiest rollercoaster at this park.

I catch up to my friends and notice how fast the line has gotten. I watch the roller coater go up and around and imagine myself in that cart, going up and down seeing how fast it really is.

I turn to Lauren, “do we really have to go on this, I mean is it even safe? Like, you can actually hear the tracks squeaking when they go up, what would happen if we fell off the tracks?” I say.

“Nothing is going to happen it is all going to be ok! I promise I have gone on this ride so many times and it is so fast you barely know what’s going on, and than it’s done, its really a piece of cake, if you ask me. So don’t worry, you’ll be fine!” Lauren tells me.

I turn to the roller coater, and observe them again, as they scream with their hands up in the air, walling like little girls, but then again half of them are little girls. Well, if any little girl can go on this big thing I can too!

“I can do this, I can do this, I can do this,” I mumble to myself.

“Listen Tessa! They’re doing the safety procedures!” Keira snaps out at me.

I didn’t know we were already at the front of the line! Crap. I step in after Lauren, and Keira goes on the other side of me, they both squish me in the middle of the second from the back cart.

“Are you sure you can do this?” Lauren offers.

“She’ll be fine!” Keira replies for me, even though that wasn’t the answer my tongue was searching for.

I search for a quick excuse to get me out of this situation, “I have to go to the bathroom!” I say quickly!

“Well, that’s just to bad you should have gone before,” says the guy that sits and watches people puke on this ride, and every little while starts and stops the machine.

And he pulls the lever down to the middle of the scale, and we’re off. The cart tips us slightly backwards and we travel up towards the drop when bam, it stops, everyone looks back at the controller, and he nods.

Then we’re up again, until the roller coaster drops sending shivers through my spine, and I clutch onto Keira and Laurens wrists for safety, and we go through the tunnels, upside down, and all around and everyone hollers and screams, and the wind rushes by my face making my ears cold, and my eyes water.

When we’re about to go back to the station, and the guy pulls the lever, and it snaps off! He runs away with his walkie-Talkie calling for help, because he knows this won’t end well.

The coaster goes double the speed it was before and it goes out of control and we do the same round as before but this time much faster, and with more screams but this time the screams are different. Instead of everyone being excited, they’re scared screams, all the parents try to comfort the crying children, and tell them it will be okay, there is a woman in the back praying that everything will be okay, and others watch from the ground, and run to get help.

The coaster goes too fast, which I think was two strong for the tracks, because they are not used to it, because I hear something crack, and everyone snaps their head to where they heard it when we see it’s at the top of the spiral. Lauren lifts up the safety bar on our cart.

“What are you doing?” Keira yells over the noise.

“I’m jumping out” She replies, “You should too, when we get closer to the ground, I’m jumping onto the ball pit, it will hopefully, be more safe then this”

 We get to the spot when Lauren launches herself in the air, and we both scream. She lands on a bench, on her leg, which is now in an awkward position, which I never want to see again.

“I guess it’s just you and me” Keira turns to me, we both snap our heads away though, when we see that the track isn’t going to make it, it makes another crack, until one side is coming loose, and breaks off. We stare at each other again, and without talking we know what the other ones thinking.

“We need too,” She cries, with the look of horror on her face.

“The bouncy house is over there, when we get to the top we can aim for the chimney, and try to hold on, we’ll find away to get down when we’re up there” I tell her my plan.

As we approach the loop, we know it’s time, we stand up on our seats, turn around, she grabs my hand, and we nod in agreement.

I know this could be it; this could be the end, as I get ready to jump, memories from my life flash in front of my eyes, and I quickly pray for my family to be ok.

Keira jumps off and so do I, still holding hands, it feels so slow, as she is a bit in front of me, and her hand starts to slip away from mine as she reaches towards the roof of the bouncy house. She grabs the top of the chimney, but I don’t reach it. She steps foot on the roof, and is stable, but as she gets her footing right, our hands start to slip away from each other, until she notices I’m still grabbing on.

Are eyes lock together and we grab on with both hands, and she tries to pull me up but all that happens is I start to pull her down, because my weight is to heavy, and is not a match for her very slim figure.

“It’s ok, I’m too heavy, just let go,” I tell her.

“NO! I won’t let go! I am not letting you go!” she screams at me.

Then we hear a crash, the roller coaster went of the ledge, we stare into each others eyes, and she makes horrible moaning sound trying to pull me up. My torso gets up onto the roof and I grasp onto the chimney, and try to help by wiggling my legs up onto the roof.

At that moment I hear all the little kids scream from inside the bouncy house, running out, because of our weight pushing down on the bouncy house. Keira and I both grasp onto the chimney with all that we have, and we feel the air start to come free of the balloon house, until we are low enough to reach the ground.

We both jump off the airless house, and hug each other so tightly, and cry tears of relief and horror. The ambulance and fire truck are already here, and are taking away Lauren and the others to the hospital, while the rest of the amusement park evacuates.

“I am never going on a roller coaster again!” I cry to Keira.

“Me too, me too” she rests her head on my shoulder, "you were right" she sighs, "you were right about the roller coaster not being safe"

"I know!" I chuckle, as we both laugh together, and walk off out of the amusement park, which neither of us got much amusement out of.
