Fatal Lies [#wattys2018]

Ch.11||Terrors At The Amusement Park

"Come on Zion! Please tell me", I said looking at him eagerly.
" Shush Angel, you have to learn to be patient", he said his smirk growing wider.
I like it when he calls me Angel,the way he says it. Like waves on the shoreline or like chocolate melting on my tongue.
"What are you thinking about",
" Mmh? ", I asked turning around to look at him.
" You looked deep in thought, what are you thinking about? "
"Oh nothing, just what I'm gonna tell my mum when I go home", the lie sliding off my tongue easily, how can I tell him I was thinking about how well he sounded saying my name.
"Don't worry, I'll explain to her myself"
"Really? ",
" Yeah,don't you trust me?", he asked quirking an eyebrow, his brown eyes getting warmer.
"I-I....  think so", I stuttered looking out the window to avoid his burning gaze.
Suddenly he turned his head sharply and looked at the review mirror,
" What's wrong ?", I asked trying to see what he was looking at.
"It's nothing, I thought I saw something but it's nothing to worry about", he said giving me a reassurance smile, but I could tell something was wrong because he kept checking the mirror every five minutes.
I didn't want to bother him so I looked out the window and tried to enjoy the breeze.

" We're here ", he announced with a big smile plastered on his face.
I looked out to see where he'd taken us and was welcomed with the sight of a large sign board that read FAIRHAVEN AMUSEMENT PARK Established 1985,where the fun never ends.
He drove in and found a spot in the drive way, there were a lot of people about doing the rides and shoot the bottle and many more.
"Wow Zion, this is awesome! ", I exclaimed, clapping my hands like a child that had been awarded with its favorite toy.
" I thought you'd like it", he said. "Come on"

We walked through the crowded place, trying to part ways in the sea of people. We made a stop at the cotton candy tent and I bought myself a cotton candy.
"Where do you want to go", he asked, looking at me inquirely.
I shrug and looked around, the only thing that caught my eye was the Archangel ride.
It looked about 10meters high and the drop seemed pretty scary. I'm dead afraid of heights,  just the thought of going down that ride made me want to gag.
"Are you okay? You look a bit sick", he said looking for a moment concerned.
" Yeah I'm fine, it's just I'm scared of heights and looking at that ride ", I said gesturing to the ride, " Just makes me sick ".
" So your afraid of heights ", he said with a bemused expression
" It's not funny "
"I didn't say that"
"But you where thinking it", I said looking at him accusingly.
He just snorted and looked around, trying to hide the smile playing on his lips.
" I'll make you a deal ",
" What kind of deal", I asked curiously
"If you take the ride and come down without getting sick, I'd take you out on a date", he said with a determined face.
" Wait what if I didn't want to go on a date with you"
"Then I'll just keep following you around in school"
"Your insane"
"Your beautiful"
I spun around and looked at him intendingly.
"Now if I catched that right, I might have thought your flirting with me"
"Is it wrong to tell someone the truth? "
"No but I..... "
"Will you do it? ", he asked, cutting me off from finishing my argument.
" No, I'd rather be killed on some random street then go down a death ride ", I said rolling my eyes.
At that very moment a gun shot fired not far from where we were standing, people started screaming and scattered everywhere running, Zion grabbed a hold of my hand and pulled me down beside a tent.
" Stay here, I'll be right back ", " Wait you can't just leave me here ", I said panic setting in.
" Angel, stay here! Don't move "he said he's eye's blazing like a fire underneath the circus lights.
I watched him as he ran towards where we heard the gun shot before.

After what seemed like forever, I couldn't take it anymore, I got up and started running towards where I last saw Zion.
Thud!
Someone bulky bumped into me and I lost my balance falling down.
I looked up and saw a huge guy with a red puffy face who was dressed in all leathers some kind of tattoos visible on his bald head. He was bleeding from his left hand.
"Sorry Sir, are you alright? " I asked, looking at his arm.
"Mind your own business", he replied with a deep husky voice as he walked away disappearing around a corner.
Geez so rude, I was just tryna help, I thought as I got up, dusting the dirt from my jeans.
" I thought I told you to stay where I left you ", Zion's annoyed face appeared behind me.
" I had to do something, I couldn't just stay there "
"Do you even think about how dangerous a situation is before you do something? "
"Well it's not like you gave me any time", I said rolling my eyes.
" Your so stubborn "
"Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment"
He gave up and ran his fingers through his locks, letting out a deep breath.
"Come on let's go before these people come back, besides its getting late", he said taking my hand and making his way towards the car park, with me trailing behind.
