Anna Bananna... Fe Fi Fo Wanna

Chapter Cuatro

"C'mon Anna, it's okay, you can walk, you can walk, shhhhh," Nik told me in a soothing voice. He gently pushed me forward, and I stumbled forward a bit, still fozen

"Carry me?" I looked up at him, voice hoarse. He sighed and picked me up, putting me on his hip like a child. I wrapped my legs around his waist and moved my clenched fists to around his neck, my head resting on his shoulder, his left hand supporting my weight by my bottom. (It's not weird he's touching my butt, okay maybe a little, but remember, we practically grew up together.)

It's not like I am tiny, I'm am a bit small, standing at about 5' 1", but he is big. About 6' 5", a football player, needing to be big for the sport, while I'm a gymnast, needing to be small for my positions.

He walked down the ramp, carrying me, and into the booth showing pictures of the passengers during the ride on the many screens. We found our pictures, his face showing enjoyment, while mine was completly terrified.

"Jeez, Anna, you were really were scared."

"No shit, dickhead."

"Ouch, that hurt."

"Good," I said, sticking my tounge out.

"Well, I guess I could put you down then," Niklas said, teasing me by letting go of me.

"No!" I shouted, squeazing him even tighter. "I'm sorry!"

"You're so easy," he said, putting his hand back to its original position. "You can stop choking me by the way."

I loosened my grip on his neck and he started walking away from the ride and towards the middle of the park.

"Hungry?" Nik asked heading towards an outside eating area with different places selling food surrounding most of it. I nodded into his shoulder, and he walked towards one of the stands and put me down.

"A medium pizza, half cheese, half hawiian, a medium sprite, and a large coke."

"Will that be all?" Nik nooded his head. "$17.95 please, thanks."

Nik handed him a $20 and he gave us our drinks, telling us it would be a minute before our pizza was ready.

We went and found some seats, Nik sitting right across from me. The guy who took our orders yelled for us to get our pizza, and Nik went to get it.

Setting down the pizza, I snatched a slice from the cheese side right away, biting into it before Nik could react.

"Perfect," I said, mouth full of cheese, sauce, and dough. "I was starving."

"Really? I couldn't tell by the way you are cramming the slice into your mouth."

"Shutup," I tried to say, it coming out more like, 'Thoutuph,' through the pizza. I finished chewing and swallowing, having a bit of difficulty considering the amount of food un my mouth, and he looked at me, amused. I just glared back.

We finished off the pizza, me eating only one or two more slices of the cheese part and Nik eating the rest of my cheese half and his hawiian. (Ewwww, pineapples.) Picking up the napkins from the table and stuffing them into the pizza box, Nik stood up, while I grabbed our drinks.

"Ready?" he asks. I nod my head and he takes my hand, walking to the trashcan to throw away our garbage. We walk back to the haunted house where we left his brother, to the place we said we would meet in a bit.

"Anna?" Nik says, breaking our comfortable silence.

"What's up?"

"I don't know. How's life, without Lisa I mean?" I cringed hearing that name. I hated it, always wished it would go away. A horrid name in my opion. A name for someone who should be gone, should have left, been taken away, but never did.

I took a breath before answering. "I don't know," I sqeaked out. Another breath. "Better I guess," Good job, Anna. Much less forced. But still, not as good as I could have done.

"Sorry Anna, I guess I forgot about how much it hurts," Niklas cast his eyes downward, uncomfortable. Great Anna, you made a promise! You made your best friend uncomfortable around you! God I'm stupid.
