Another World [ON HOLD] (in editing)

Y'all Ready to Go?

Annie’s POV

I woke up in my bed, light shining through the window. Today was going to be so much fun. Why, you might ask? Today I’m going to Adventure Park with Niall, Harry, Claire, and Zayn. Liam had his girlfriend Danielle in town and Louis had his girlfriend Eleanor in town and they had planned a double date. They were going out to lunch and maybe a movie later. I woke up Claire and we got ready to go. It was 8 AM when I went over to get the others. I knocked on the door and Niall opened it. He smiled and said, “Good morning, gorgeous.” He pulled me inside and walked behind me to the kitchen with his arms around my stomach. He kissed my cheek and asked, “Today’s gonna be so fun!”

I laughed and turned around to face him and smashed my lips against his. Just then Zayn walked in and said, “Come on guys, save it!” I smiled and pulled away. Claire asked, “Y’all ready to go?”

“Yeah, let’s go!” said Harry. He walked in as he said this, flipping his  curly brown hair around and brushing it to the side. I don’t know why, but I got butterflies in my stomach whenever he did that. I have to admit it, he looks hot with that curly hair of his. The five of us left the house and hopped in the car. Once we arrived at Adventure Park, we bought all-day wristbands and joined the swarms of people already there. I gazed up at all the enormous rides towering above us. I covered my eyes from the bright shining sun on this hot, cloudless day. “Guys, let’s go on that one!” said Claire, pointing to a huge frog jump-like ride. It must have been almost 300 feet tall! But that didn’t phase her. If there’s one thing you have to know about Claire, it’s that she is quite a daredevil. And a fashionista, but definitely a daredevil! Oh God, I thought. I gulped and looked at Niall. His grin was enough to tell me he was going on that. Harry was already running towards it with Claire. I looked at Zayn. His eyes were wide. “I’m too scared, Claire, no!” he joked. But he actually is afraid of heights. I gave him a nervous look. “You goin on?” I asked. He bit his lip and looked up at the skyscraper of a ride, appropriately named Fear Tower. “Uh... I think I’ll sit this one out. You guys go ahead.”

“Yeah, I think I will too,” I said.

“Oh, no, you’re coming with me babe!” laughed Niall.

Claire said, “Come on, you have to! This one isn’t even scary!”

Harry shouted from the line, “Come on Ann! Don’t be scared!”

I groaned and threw my head back. “Okay, I’ll go!” I really don’t even like rides that much but I thought this would be a fun place to hang out today. Maybe I was wrong! We were quickly loaded on the ride. The order we sat in was Harry, Claire, me, and Niall. We started to ascend up the Fear Tower and I dryly gulped. “Oh God...” I whispered. Niall looked at me and laughed. “You’re really scared aren’t you?” I nodded my head and looked up. We were hardly halfway up and I was already scared! Niall tried to distract me with idle conversation, but I couldn’t focus on what he was saying. My heart was pounding harder and my butt was tingling. It was weird. I swung my legs back and forth and looked down. Zayn was sitting on a bench looking up at us, laughing and pointing at me. I gave him an evil eye but he couldn’t see it. The ride came to an abrupt stop. We had reached the top. There was no turning back now. Claire said, “Here we go!” There was silence. Not even a slight breeze. The seconds seemed to trudge on like hours. I began to breathe in once more, when suddenly the thing dropped at like a million miles an hour. I lost my breath but managed to scream at the top of my lungs as thousands of butterflies fluttered at the top of my stomach. I squeezed my eyes shut and felt the ride stop, then drop again, until finally I opened them and found myself three feet off the ground. Once we were released I jumped down and nearly fell over. My legs felt like wobbly jello. I grabbed onto Niall’s shoulder and walked slowly out to Zayn. “Sooo how was it?” he asked.

I glared at him. “It was fine.” He snickered and we went on our way.

After many more rides that I either went on or chickened out, we came to the most dreaded one of all. The last ride before we left. It was a huge roller coaster called the Steel Dragon. Harry stopped dead in his tracks as his eyes met the huge beast. Niall shouted, “Let’s do this!” I ran ahead with Zayn, Claire, and Niall. I looked back. “Harry, come on! You can do it!” His face was pale but he caught up with us. We stood in line figuring out who will sit with who. There were two people per seat, so I was going to go with the obvious choice for me. I looked at Harry to make sure he hadn’t fainted yet. He’s quite afraid of roller coasters. Geez, why did we even come here today? Niall and Claire were the only ones who liked these things! Anyway, he looked at me with determination glinting in his lovely green eyes. “I’ll go on it, but you’re coming with me.” I looked at Niall for permission. He looked at Harry and said, “You can do this, Harry! Annie, make sure he doesn’t die!” He laughed as we boarded the roller coaster. I pulled Harry into the seat and brought down the lap bar. He gripped the bar with white knuckles and took a deep breath. I looked behind me. Claire was sitting with some random girl behind us. We made eye contact and laughed to ourselves. Awkward. Niall and Zayn sat together in front of Harry and I. The ride jolted and started to move slowly uphill. It seemed to take forever. Finally, we slowly came to the peak of the mountain. Over the top, the coaster inched forward until I was facing the ground, surging forward at an alarming speed as butterflies once again invaded my stomach. I screamed with a huge smile on my face as I threw myself into Harry. I wrapped my arms around him and looked at his face. He had a huge grin spreading across his face and was yelling, “WOOOO!!! WOOOOO!!!” I put my arms up as I was jolted around hairpin turns, stomach-dropping dips, and a big loopdy loop. The ride came to a stop all too soon. I hopped out and hugged Harry. “Good job! See, that was fun!” Niall swung his arm around my shoulder and we all left the amusement park.

We arrived back at their house and slumped down onto the couch and started a movie. This day had worn us out. I leaned into Niall and cozied up in his arms. My eyes met Harry’s and I smiled. He grinned back and winked at me. I was pretty proud of him for going on that ride today. Before I knew it my eyelids had become so heavy I could barely keep them open. I looked up at Niall and saw he was already sleeping. I kissed his cheek before falling asleep in his strong, protective arms.

There ya go, a random little chapter :)
