These Things Take Time.

Chapter 16

"What do we have planned for today?" Ness asked while putting up her hair.

"We were wanting to go down to the pier and maybe ride a few rides? You know like old times." My dad says while puttng his shoes on. I remember the pier that was the place Ness and I got our first kiss from two boys a year older, and that was also the day we got our hearts broken. Then again we were only 11 and we didnt really understand what was happening.

"That sounds great! Maybe we can go out to dinner afterwards?" Ness suggests.

"Perfect! Ill get the car started." Brad says.

"Hey where's Natalie?" I whisper to Ness.

"Shes out with her friends...as usual. Shes kind of a brat to tell you the truth."

"You think every teenager is a brat." I laugh.

"Hey, thats not completely true. There are some pretty chill teenagers."

"Chill?"

"Shut up. Im still hip." She shakes her hips.

"You are so weird." I laugh in my hands.

"Yeah. So?" We laugh in unision. After we get our shoes on we walk out to the car and leave.

In the car is Ness, Mariah, My mom and I. Silence takes over the atmopshere. Just the tunes whispering from the speaker. Our fathers are in the other car...they like to have their man time to talk about sports and women.

"Soo. Jasmine...Ness. Since the dads are gone. Tell us how you met them." Mariah looks at us through the rear view mirror.

"Well...Jasmine you are kind of the leader of this." I sigh. I knew she would put the spot on me. Actually I dont mind...gives me remisince of the moment.

"Well...First it started off out with Ness announcing they, One Direction, were going to be in town. I didnt know who they were so Ness showed me a few songs and I liked them. The next day I was on my way to school and there was a puppy being beat by some rude teens.

Of course I stopped it and help the pup. Then a blonde....

...

After I finished explaining my mom's mouth was dropped open. I know its a lot to take in...especially if you are the one who was apart of it all.

"Thats romantic." My mom heavenly sighs.

"It is!" Mariah clapped her hands in excitement for me. "What about you Ness?"

Ness POV

"Well..... Harry. Its not much really...hes cute." I half lie. Hes defitanly handsome, very. He practically told me he loved me. It was literally something from a movie or book. It cant be possible. Maybe he wasnt thinking...maybe he doesnt even like me. Niall told me he liked me though.....ugg why is life hard?

"Thats it?" My mom asks.

"Yeah.....thats it." I lie again.

"Are you sure?" Jasmines mom, Kendra, questions.

"Yep." I look down to the floor of the car.

"Oh okay." We pull into a parking lot. "We are here." We get out of the car and meet up with our dads. We walk to the entrance and make our way to the tickets.

After our seventh ride we head over to the shark drop. Jasmine and I get in.

"Why didnt you tell your mom about Harry?" Jasmine whispered as the man buckles her belt.

"I did."

"No you didnt. All you said was that hes cute. I know for a fact that isnt all of it." She looks at me for a moment. "So why didnt y-

"Why didnt you tell them about the dreams? Huh?" I threw my hands in the air.

"Shhhhhhh. They can hear you." I turn my head and they are sitting down and talking.

"No they cant." I sat there looking off to the ocean.

"They wouldnt believe me. Its so strange...They would say 'Thats something off of a movie'." She says in a mocking voice.

"Now you know why I didnt tell them much. A international singer telling you he loves you...."

"And putting his number in your purse." Jasmine adds on.

"Exacty...I mean its sweet and makes my heart melt but...it just.....stuff like this doesnt happen everyday! There is something...a catch. I know I sound stupid but it just feels.."

"Like its too good to be true......I know." She sighs.

"Now we are on the same page." I chuckle as the ride starts.

We take a turn and go up a steep and tall drop. When we reach the very tip we look at each other and I squeeze my hands on the handle.

3.....2.....1......

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" We scream as we fall down the slope. Then shoot back up to take a right and then go in a spiral motion. Screams coming from left to right.

As the ride comes to and end, Jasmine and I are laughing.

"That was fun! Just like I remember!" Jasmine laughs. We hopped of the cart and headed toward our parents.

"Hey are you all hungarian?" Derek laughs. We all nod and make our way to the restraunt right across the street.

We get seats and sit down to order.

Jasmines POV

"So Jasmine. Where are you going for that date of yours?" Brad asks.

"Im not sure....I dont know if hes picking or I am.."

"You should go to Nick's." My mom suggested. Nicks is so good! But something about the restraunt just doesnt seem right.

"I-I guess. That would be nice. Only if he doesnt have anything in mind already."

"Then after you two should go to the boardwalk. It would be romantic." My mom smiles but I blush. Its weird my mom telling me this I dont know...Maybe Im the weird one.

"Sounds perfect." Mariah claps her hands. I laugh but inside Im super nervous. I hope I dont mess anything up.

We ordered out dinner and when our food came out we ate an talked about old times. Good and bad.
