Chapter 9: We Might Need a SWAT Team

 

We all stepped foot inside of the place I loved to come to as a child. The place where I thought I was a badass because I rode this, and that. But now I am even more of a badass because we are sneaking into an amusement park while it is closed. Let’s just see how much fun this is going to turn into.

“Alex, do you think you know where all of the rides turn on at?” Charlie questioned, glancing over to Alex with the most innocent look on her face. Um.. that was not strange or anything.

“Already a step ahead of you sexy.” Alex muttered, jogging over to a building that read ‘employees only’. We all stood there for a good ten minutes before Alex decided to join us again. I turned around, and I was amazed as the park practically came to life. I could not believe it. The lights, sounds, rides, everything here. I had always wanted to break into one of these places, and now we are. How perfect is this? It actually makes me semi forget about my fucking mother and her bitchiness.

“Come on Mic, I know you like rollercoasters.” Cooper whispered in my ear, sending chills down my spine. For a split second, I almost forget about the deal I made with myself, and almost find myself grabbing ahold of Cooper’s hand. But as reality hits me hard in the face, I politely decline his offer, and walk over to the nearest bench I see.

I really wish I was not in this depressed, fucked up mood, but I cannot help it. WIth all the stress my mother had enforced on me ever since I came out of her fucking vagina, and now this Cooper bullshit. I just, it’s like I want to like him, but I cannot allow myself.  I knew I lied to Cooper earlier about how I was feeling, and I honestly wondered if he believed me or not. But I am assuming he did, because he has not questioned me or anything abnormal.

“Are you sure she is okay? I thought she loved rollercoasters?” I overhear Cooper tell Charlie. Damnit, are they seriously talking about me?

“Coop, I think it is best to just leave her alone. She needs some space, don’t you think?” Charlie questioned, looking up into Cooper’s insanely capturing eyes. Damn, stop. Liking. Cooper. He. Does. Not. Even. Like. Me. That. Way. Just a very concerned friend. That is it, nothing else.

I watch as the three of them disappear to go onto a rollercoaster. For the past  hour I have been tagging along, sitting at every bench while the three of them rode every ride in here. Of course I wish I could be like them. Well okay, that sounds a bit childish, but I just do not want to feel anything. That is what is helping, making everything better. Just pretend I am okay, and shut off all of my emotions right?

When I least expect it, I hear an ear-pitching scream coming from the top of the coaster. I look up and see that the coaster they are in is slowly declining backwards. Within seconds, the chain snaps, sending the cart backwards in a rough motion. I scramble to my feet, and make my way up to the controller of the ride, shutting it off.

“That. Was. Fucking. Awesome!” Alex exclaimed, draping his arm around Charlie. I honestly just want to tell him to fuck off and stop touching my best friend, but she seems to not mind it. Which is quite fucked up. I can just remember her gushing about how she wishes he did not come with us and wishes he would have been ran over when I hit him.

“No that was not! We could have killed ourselves!” Cooper said, glaring at Alex. “And get your fucking hand off of my sister before I break your hands so you cannot properly use them. Understood?”

“Cooper! You are not my father, and cannot tell me what to and what to not do. So I suggest you mind your own damn business before I slit your throat and feed your body to a lion. Understood?” Charlie demands, mimicking Cooper by saying ‘understood’. Aha.
