I want to give a thanks to my friend krazymollymono for making this cute banner c:

Jamie's POV

It felt really weird that Matthew is taking me to the carnival. I mean I'm stoked and all but I'm going with Matthew.

What has this world come to? The car came to a stop and I looked around, realizing we were already here.

"So what do you want to do first?" Matthew asked, while rubbing his hands together like some evil scientist.

I just shrug. He sighs, unlocks my seat belt, and opens my door. I back up into my seat a little, seeing as though how close we are. He looks up, just staring at me. I blush furiously and push his head away.

"U-Um we should get going." I whisper and climb out of his car. He walks next to me but doesn't go any farther.

"Aren't you going to lead the way?" I motion to the entrance.

"Well I came here to please you so I'll go wherever you go." He smiled. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Are planning a prank on me? Do you want something?" He sighed, shaking his head.

"This is me just being a friend. Accept it alright? We can just go back if you want." He started to turn around but my hand reached out to his.

"No we can stay." I look down at our hands and pull back. "Sorry." I enter the carnival with Matthew walking behind me. I walk over to some rollercoaster.

"Let's go on this!" I squeal, pulling Matthew to the line.

"This? It looks like it's about to collapse." He muttered which brings an eye roll out of me.

"Stop being a sourpuss." Soon we clambered into the seats, pulling the safety lock down.

"This is such a bad idea." I heard Matthew say. I ignore him and start tapping the seat with excitement. After the locks were checked, the carts started to move. I squeal and and grab Matthew's arm tightly. I felt his arm tense up, which made me clench harder. I love rollercoasters but the suspense it creates makes me loose my guts. The carts stopped moving up and I looked around just as the drop comes. I scream, closing my eyes while pushing myself against Matthew.

The rollercoaster made various twists and turns, flipping upside down. Finally the carts slowed down. I open my eyes to see Matthew staring down at me, exitement and amusement glinting in his eyes. I unlatched myself from him and moved to my side.

"I think you bruised me." He said laughing. I blush but a grin formed on my face.

"Sorry bud." We got out with jelly legs, holding the rail for a while.

"So now I'm your friend?" I just shrug and run off to another rollercoaster.

Five rollercoasters later, we stopped by the food venders then sat down in the grass. The band "alt-j" were playing on the stage. I was surprised that our wimpy town could get someone so famous to play at our event.

"Enjoying yourself?" Matthew asks as he wipes his mouth with a napkin. I look at him and realize how handsome he is. His blonde hair is slightly swept to the side, covering a little dark spot on his forehead. His jaw was defined, which is very attractive in any guy, and his lips plump.

"Jamie?" A hand waved in front of my face and I blinked. 

"Sorry what?" I loked down, playing with my fingers so he won't see my burning cheeks.

"I said are you enjoying yourself." I nod and finish off my pizza. "We should go." He stands up and brushes his pants off. I stand up myself, following him to the car.

Once we were both inside, he started to drive.

"Can I take you somewhere?" He asked all of a sudden.

"Okay." I relied softly. He started to drive in the opposite direction of my house. After 10 minutes of driving we reach a dock. Silently, he climbs out then walks to the edge of the wooden platform. I stumble out of the car and follow him.

"I come here all the time. It's kinda a 'get away' for me." He rolls up his pants and sits down, putting his feet in the clear blue water. I sit next to him but cross my legs. "My parents are rich and all but money can't buy everything. And they seem not to know that. They think that if they buy me an expensive car or a gold watch that I'll behave like a good boy." He starts taking off the watch, dangling it from one finger. "But all of that stuff is worthless to me. Everyday that I lived I just wanted parents who would love me. You know why I've slept with half of the towns girls? Just to catch my father's attention. And all he does is scold me. Can't he see my fucking pain?" He growled then chucked the watch. He paced the platform and I stood up, walking to him. 

I grabbed his face but he just shrugged me off. I pulled his face again. "Look at me." Slowly he turned his head at me and stared at me with his crystal blue eyes. "Your parents do love you. They just don't know how to express it." He sighs, leaning into my hands. 

"Thank you, Jamie." He pulls me into a hug and I allow him, wrapping my own arms around his waist. "Now lets get you home. Don't want your Mom to worry."

-

"Goodnight." Matthew says as I get out of the car.

"Goodnight." I smile and go into my house. It smelt of alcohol mixed with cigarette smoke. I sigh, while picking up the beer bottles. After cleaning up the empty bottles, I start to dust and vacuum. Spraying the room with Febreeze, I smile at my accomplishment. I go to check on Daniel then my mom. After making sure the windows and doors are locked, I climb to my room. I lay down, falling asleep instantly.
