Going Down

Chapter 21

~Chapter Twenty-One~

Consequences

What does she mean by consequences..

Does she mean from Liam? Or...

Oh no...

She's talking about the guy she cheated on him with.

He won't be happy.

I can feel it.

•••

I walk down stairs wearing my Roots pants with the word on the butt, my fuzzy socks, and a dark green tank top.

Everyone's quiet.

"So did we find something to do?"

I ask, breaking the silence.

"I got the tickets for Jappy World."

{INCASE you didn't know I made "Jappy World" up, it's a theme park}

"Awesome when should we go?" I ask. Rachel still looks a little shaken from out moment a few minutes ago.

So am I.

But I don't let it show.

I seem to be doing that a lot lately.

"In 15? So we can all get ready." Liam suggests

"Sounds good." Clay says and leaves for upstairs.

"Okay I guess it's a done deal."

•••

Noise.

Noise.

Noise.

Noise. Noise. Noise.

Who knew that Jappy World would be so busy. And loud.

The car ride seemed normal. But now I know Rachel's secret, and I can't help myself but look at her.

"Uh, so where too?" Clay asks after we get it.

I feel enclosed.

Captured.

Hard to breath

"Uh I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I say. My breaths become uneven. I'm not ready for this yet.

I must be crazy. Cause when I leave for the bathroom, I turn to see a ride called "Crash Landing" with little planes you sit in and it shakes you and...and...

I shake my head in disagreement.

No

No

No

This isnt happening.

I trip and get right back up again.

"Ash!"

I keep walking. Who's calling me?

Nobody

I tell myself.

I keep walking.

I'm shaking.

Why am I scared of an amusement park?

Because it's too similar to what happened.

I tell myself.

"Ash, wait up!"

Keep walking, keep walking.

I have to find the bathroom.

Now.
