Alone

Ch. 7 : You need the full experience

The first ride we went on was a roller coaster. Oh joy.

"Whatever you're on, I'd like some because you must be on crack if you think I'm riding that, Alex." I said, backing up as I stared at the monsterous ride.

He turned around and smiled. "You need the full experience." He reasoned and I pouted.

"Can't I have a full experience on something less..." I took another look at the ride in front of me. It went around some turns and twists and had lots of hills and...loops.

"...deathly?" I continued, looking up at my crazy friend.

He chuckled. "C'mon you scaredy cat. It's not that bad." He said grabbing my hand to get in line. It was already 6:15 and a lot more people had showed up. I mean being claustrophobic, this wasn't a good place for me.

When we finally got through the line--Which took at least 15 or 20 minutes--we got strapped into the ride. The seats were two at a time, Alex and I sat next to each other. 

Before the ride started, I was half hypervenilating. I mean, a quiet girl like me goes on a death trap like this?! What if it broke and I got killed?!

I can see the headlines already, 'Roller Coaster Kills Loner Highschooler.'

Alex noticed and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers. I looked at him, he was smiling. "It's okay. It's usually scary the first time."

I got a paniced look on my face. "Then why didn't you fucking tell me that before we got on this death trap?!" I half yelled, half whined at him.

He laughed and then his laughter was stopped by the moving of the coaster.

I tried to readjust myself while we made our way up the steep hill, Alex still holding my hand. I wonder why he's acting so sweet to me. I mean I'm just--

"HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!" I screamed as we made our way down the very steep hill of the coaster. 

Alex roared with laughter when he heard me. I screamed my lungs out as we made our way through the traumatizing roller coaster. I had closed my eyes. When I tried to open them, I really had to strain my eyelids. I mean, we must of been going at least eighty miles per hour.

The wind was whipping in my face as I opened my eyes. I saw a loop in front of us. God help me.

When I saw the loop, I immediatly clamped my eyes shut. I could still feel Alex's hand holding mine, I squeezed it so tight, I thought his bones would crush right underneath my fingers. 

When I got to the loop, I could definitely tell. My stomach had decided to take a detour to my head when I could feel my entire body upside down. 

It felt weird. Not like someone tickling you weird. It felt weird weird. I screamed my last scream. Shortly after that the ride came to a slow stop.

My chest was heaving up and down. 

I have been scarred for life.

As the things over our chests rose, I immediatly jumped out of my seat, letting go of Alex's hand and ran at the speed of light down the stairs of the ride and made my way through the crowd to an open space of land. 

I bent over and placed my hands on my knees, breathing heavily. 

Alex made his way over to me, still laughing his ass off, the bastard.

"You...Tried...To...Kill...Me..." I said in between breaths.

"I'm sorry Nova, but that ride was awesome!" He said, right before he bursted into a million laughs.
