If I Fell...

The Carnival

Chapter 11

The month had been a great one. I celebrated my birthday on the 11th of January at the Cavern with my sisters and friends, I spent a weekend with the boys in London and I was going to a carnival with Paul today. Paul and I were still going strong, but the part that I didn't like was everyone at school was picking on him for dating a teddy girl.

"Dear I'm sorry..." I remembered mumbling to him as I saw his eyes droop unlike their usually perky tone.

"It's not your fault..." He whispered to me as he wiped the tear that cascaded down my red cheek.

And now it was Valentines Day and I was at a carnival with all the boys Syd who is Ritchie's girl and Lilly John's girl. Darla and George had broken up about a week ago so both of them had been emotional wrecks.

We walked down the main path passing all these different carnival games and rides. We passed the freak show isle and then ran into a dead end. The cool weather nipped at my cheeks, and only my cheeks because the rest of my body was covered with some sort of material unlike the two other girls. I don't know how they didn't freeze to death. Paul tried to warm my hands by keeping mine in his but it didn't help. After a few minutes of walking aimlessly down the same two aisle for about thirty minutes, Paul squeezed my hand which signaled to me to make up a phony excuse as to why we had to leave.

"Uh, we are just going to go get some..."

I looked over at the nearest sign. It had pink and blue fluffy, cotton like product with the words "COTTON CANDY" splattered over the white board.

"Cotton Candy... We'll be back..."

They all nodded politely then continued walking up and down, up and down.

Paul and I a few minutes later found a bench to sit at and relax. I had been meaning to tell Paul that I love him, but I just didn't know how. I felt like it might be too soon.

"Love are you alright?" Paul questioned with concern present in his voice.

"How do you tell someone something you are unsure of saying?"

He looked at me puzzled for a minute then let out an "AHHHH"

"You can tell me anything?"

"How'd you know it was you I was talking about?"

"I just knew, now tell me!" He demanded.

"I-I...Love you..." My voice trailed off along with my words.

"Amelia, I love you more than you will ever know. I can't believe you were worried about telling me that. I love you more than I love myself gosh I love you more than I love life itself. You are my everything. You are my true love."

Happy tears welled in my eyes as I thought about the history I shared with Paul. I gave him everything I had just like he did with me.

"Amelia I love you like a bee loves honey. I love you more than anything... I thought you-"

I cut the mumbling boy off by crashing my lips into his. He kissed me back probably realizing that he was babbling. Gosh I loved him. More than HE would ever know...

We caught up with the rest of the group, pretending like nothing happened. Ritchie was busy trying to win a game for Syd while John and Lilly were off at a bench making fun of everyone who walked by.

"What are you 10?"

The couple burst into laughter as they started pointing out the flaws on the person who stood before them.

"What did I ever see in 'im?"

We were now the ones laughing, drawing attention to ourselves.

Since John had called me that one night things had been a little awkward. He still had feeling for me which, in all honesty, made me feel really uncomfortable.

"Ey! Mr. And Mrs. McCartney, over 'ere!" John shouted at the two if us.

We walked over to him my hand in his while we prepared ourselves for what he was about to say.

"Did you two go smoochin'?"

"No, we simply went to talk." Paul interrupted.

Him and Lilly laughed and continued to chatter, leaving Paul and I to try to find Ritchie and Syd. Unlike Lilly, Syd was actually nice, and cared about peoples feelings.

"I think they'll be at the games. Knowing Ritchie he's probably trying to win her a prize."

As we strolled down the main aisle I watched all the signs pass, trying to read them all. I also saw hundreds of people a few I recognized from school, but two faces I knew from somewhere else.

One was my sister, Darla and the other was... Davy.

"Davy!" I yelled while waving my arms frantically in the air.

His head whipped around followed by Darlas. Davy looked happy as he approached me were as Darla looked fearful.

"Amelia, This Darla."

"Darla and Davy, this is my boyfriend Paul."

We all exchanged awkward smiles smiles then parted ways.

"That was Davy?"

I blushed and nodded.

"He's just a friend Paul..." I said as I pulled the boy into a kiss. He pulled away quickly then continued walking.
