"We could. Ride that!" Exclaimed Jacob pointing to a ride that was far too big and scary for me.
"Yeah," Landon's mouth spread into a big grin and they both looked down at me.
"Uhm, guys. You can go I really-probably-uh-um-y-yeah-shouldn't" I ended sheepishly.
"Oh c'mon it'll be fun," Said Jacob. I frowned as a reply, "when you do it, you'll wanna do it again," He gesticulated a lot while speaking a big smile on his face.
"Maybe not-" Jacob pouted at me. "Pleeeease. It'll only be fun if 'you' ride it with me." Said Jacob. "I'm too afraid Jacob I'm sorry-" Jacob took my hands in his. He was opening his mouth to speak when Landon beat him to it.
"Don't force her to do something she doesn't want to do!" Landon snapped. The smile on Jacob's face faded away so quickly I thought it was never actually there. He dropped my hands and turned to Jacob.
"Fuck. Off," He said simply looking back at me. "If you ride this with me I'll do whatever you want me to," He held out his pinky to me.
"How old are you?" Asked Landon about to add something to what he started, but stopped when I reached out and pinky promised Jacob. He took the hand I used to pinky promise him and lead the way through the crowd.
I don't know where I got the courage to promise Jacob into riding that rollercoaster, but no turning back now.
--
I joined the line and my legs trembled the closer we got to the front of the line. The screams were just enough to push me over the edge. I glanced at Jacob who was looking at me.
"Scared?" He smirked.
"Of course I am!" I quietly exclaimed shoving him. He bumped into Landon who looked down at him, Jacob looked up at Landon and back at me.
"It's ok if you don't wanna ride it anymore Iris, the look on your face is starting to make me feel guilty for dragging you into this line," He rubbed the back of his neck and looked away from me.
"Jacob I promised you. And I never ever ever break a promise. EVER," I raised my eyebrows. "Even if," I started. "I had to die," He grinned at me. The funny thing was I was like an inch shorter than him, and then there was Landon who was like 5'7.
The next large group of people walked onto the roller coaster."We sit at the front, so the speed isn't that bad. It's least scary at the front we're going so fast we're basically cancelling the speed which is making the ride seem slower than it is," Said Jacob, I nodded as he lead me through the crowd. It seemed nobody wanted to sit in the front, I took my seat and the man came around strapped everyone down.
"That's not how it works," Scoffed Landon. Jacob pursed his lips and looked at Landon. "Alright Alberto Einstein do tell me how this works-" Landon didn't even let him finish.
"It's Albert, and we're at the front it's the fastest point on the rol-" Landon was cut off by my screaming, Jacob's screaming, and his own screaming. The ride had shot off and instantly started to get steeper and steeper before making a large loop and then a smaller one and a smaller one. Jacob wasn't screaming anymore instead it was replaced with his laughter.
His hands were raised in the air, he lowered an arm and held my hand lifting into the air.
It felt like I was floating on air. Like I was flying, Landon was screaming his ass off and his eyes were closed. It was really really fast I felt like if Jacob wasn't holding my arm in the air it would have bent the oppostie direction and snapped off. I couldn't really hear myself because the wind blew off my voice.
I was laughing so hard I was crying and the tears just vanished. Swooshed away off of my face. My hair was being blown around in every direction and my mouth went dry.
I tried to lick my lips constantly, but the wind blew out my saliva. It's like I was a fish under a blowdryer. It slowed down to a stop and I lowered my hands with Jacob. Landon's face was red and his eyes were closed. When we came to a complete stop Landon's eyes tore open.
"THAT WAS AMAZIIIING!!" I cheered when the lifts opened I stood and started jumping. Jacob was laughing really hard, "it was wasn't it?!" He laughed with me.
