Distance //Weston Koury

We Were Little Fish In The Big Sea

Lily's POV

I need Anthony back. I know I shouldn't because he doesn't love me, but I do. I do because it was all simple when I had him. I didn't cry myself to sleep or have to force a smile and lie to myself saying that I am fine. I could go to sleep with his goodnight text in mind, I smiled with ease, and I would say that my life was perfect and mean it. But it all changed now. But it only affected me. He still goes to sleep knowing tomorrow will be great, he still laughs with his friends, he still tells everyone he is great because he means it. But I don't get that. Maybe I can just buy four cats and a flamingo and be happy forever, with no man. I mean cats and flamingos are pretty chill, we could make it work. "Are you ready to do this Lily, its our turn next." "Honestly, no. But I don't really have a choice Bryce." " it will be fun, I promise. I won't let anything happen to you." "C0me oN gUys YasS wE got tHis!" really Weston... I'm so nervous. The groups are...me and Bryce, Blake and Simon, Weston and Loren, Mario and Julian, Jovani and Cat (Cat met up with us), and Hunter and Brandon. Brandon looks pretty scared to do this too. Bryce and I  step in and I grab on to bar in front of us as tight as I can. He takes one of my hands down, and holds it. He gives it a tight squeeze right as we start to move. At the beginning I was actually enjoying it, until we got to the part with the drops and sharp turns and speeding up. We go up a huge hill and we are going really fast, then we go upside down 3 times in a row! I was so terrified. I grabbed Bryce's hand as hard as I could while screaming my lungs out and all I hear from him is laughing. How on earth is he laughing right now? Is he actually enjoying this? When I control my screaming I realize that I hear everyone screaming too. Loren, Weston, Brandon, Mario, Jovani, Julian, Hunter, Simon.. Blake even. There was one difference, Weston was screaming "IM GONNA DIE OH MY GOD IM DYING". Everybody except Bryce was screaming. When it started slowing down I realized that, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I just made it seem worst because I was afraid because I thought everyone else wasn't scared and wouldn't scream. When we all get unbuckled and step off I just burst out laughing. For no reason. I can't contain it. I can't stop. Soon everybody is laughing. All of us are just laughing. This feels better than when I'm with my friends. Did I just think that? Did I just refer to them as friends instead of best friends? I think I may have found me some new best friends...

Bryce's POV

Honestly, that was really scary. I didn't want to seem like a whimp in front of everyone though. It was funny how everyone was screaming, which is why I couldn't stop laughing. Michelle squeezed my hand so hard It felt like I could explode...but I liked it. I liked being there for her. I'm already enjoying this trip more than expected.

Weston's POV

Mostly everyone wanted to go on another roller coaster and Lily kinda didn't so I decided that I would stay with her, as a friend of course. "Lily, you don't have to go through that again, I can stay with you and we can do our own thing, ok?" "Ok. Thanks Weston, I really didn't want to do that again, it means a lot, and I have a lot to get of  my chest so this will make me 'stress free'" Wow, she actually wants to tell me some of her "secrets". Well, I'm glad that is kinda nudging us towards friends. " Alright Lily, lets go get some icecream and play some games and walk by the shore line." "Did you just think of that? Because that sounds like a dream date, even though it isn't a date" She laughed. Her laugh is pretty cute compared to some people.

Lily's POV

"Alright I know we passed the icecream place on the way to the roller coaster..." Weston was mumbling. "What was that Weston?" "Um nothing. I think if we just take two rights, a left, and another right, we will be there." Think, he thinks? Whatever, he probably remembers right anyway. After walking for another about 13 minutes I spoke up. " We are lost. " "No we aren't, I know exactly where to go." "We are lost Weston." "No we aren't Lily, I'm not that stupid." " Weston, we are lost, now let's make the best of it."
