Chapter 5

*Stella's P.O.V*

Immediately I began to rethink my decision. "Niall?" I breath out, grabbing his hand as I close my eyes.  Right away he knew as I felt him lightly squeeze my hand in attempt to calm me down.

"You'll be all right," Niall whispers in my ear, causing a shiver to run down my spine.  Slowly, I turn my head in his direction limiting the space between us.  His cold, minty breath fans my face as his eyes flicker to my lips. "Okay,"  I nod, biting down on to my bottom lip which causes his pupils dilate.  I ignore the butterflies that sprout in my stomach and slightly pull away.  Awkwardly, I send Niall another nod and try my best to keep my distance while still having a hold of his hand.

We linger at the top for a few more seconds before we were sent tumbling down.  No words could explain the fear I was experiencing.  I scream as loud as my lungs allow itself to and dug my nails into the handle bar and possibly Niall's hand.

As we approach the loopty loop, my eyes widen with fright.  I held on tighter to the metal bar that protected us from falling.

I'm going to die, I thought. I'm going to f*cking die.

"Oh God no," I whisper to myself, shutting my eyes, desperately waiting for this ride to be over.

I quickly peek over at Niall who was screaming in joy.  His hands were high in the air as he sways them back and forth.

"Woo-hoo!"

Is he like delusional?  Did that loopty loop do some damage to his brain?  How can he, or anyone for that matter find this enjoyable?

Oh god, god please end this nightmare, please, I beg to our creator.

My prayers were quick to be answered as we slowly came to a halt.  I unbuckle my seat belt and rip it off without a second thought.  I slowly made my way towards the exit as Niall soon caught up.

"Wasn't that fun?" He asks, smiling.  I sent him a glare.

Fun?  More like traumatizing if you ask me.

"Fun?  Oh yeah, that was totally fun."  I sarcastically reply, rolling my eyes.  He shakes his head and chuckles at my response and begins to walk ahead of me.  I didn't even attempt to catch up to him, my legs were too wobbly to.  Suddenly, I felt a pressure build in my stomach.  Oh God, please no.

"Uh, are you okay?" Niall asks worriedly as he walks back up to me, "you don't look so good."

I open my mouth to speak but quickly shut it and cover it with my right hand.  I eagerly search for a trash can.

"What's wrong?" He asks again.  I ignore him.

I peer through the crowds in hope of finding one before it's too late.  I push past a couple making out, hearing them complain as I do.  I ignore them as well; can't they see that this is an emergency?  I literally feel like going back and letting everything out on them.  I would enjoy hearing them scream in disgust. 

I felt my stomach start to build up even more and I knew that if I didn't find a trash can soon the janitor was going to receive a nice present.

Does this place even have a freaking trash can?  My eyes sparkle once I find one.  I quickly run to it and almost instantly everything spills out.  In seconds I feel someone rub my back and it actually relaxs my stomach muscles.

When I finish I had the most horrid taste in my mouth.  My face twists in disgust as I cough.

I hear Niall laugh at my dissatisfaction, "Here, I got these for you."

I turn around to see him holding a bottle of ginger-ale and a small blue breath mint.  I smile and thank him as he hands me both things.  As I was trying to open the bottle I made my way to a small green bench and sat down on it.  The cap finally snaps off making it pop and sizzle.  I chug the whole thing down until I felt nothing but air, hoping it will help my stomach feel better faster.  I then pop the breath mint into my mouth and suck on it, enjoying the cool peppermint flavor that bursts on to my taste buds.  Niall sits down next to me and places his hand on my shoulder, rubbing small circles on it.

"Do you feel better?" He asks sounding concerned.  Awe, he's so caring.  He's exactly the type of guy that I would date.

Wait, what?  What the hell am I talking about?  I don't actually like him.  I can't possibly.

I sigh and answer his question, "Yeah, as long as I never go on another rollercoaster again."

He laughs, "Yeah, that's probably for the best."

I laugh too and nod.  I look up at the sky and instantly get distracted by it's beauty. The sun was starting to set as beautiful colors started to form beyond the trees.

"Nice sunset, eh?" Niall says.  I looked at him and nodded.

"Come on." I insist, "I want to get a better view." I grab his hand and pull him off the bench and towards the ferris wheel.

"Two?" A male employee asks.

"Yes please," I hand him my ticket and Niall hands him his.  He carefully takes it out of our hands and places them in his pouch.

He glances behind his back before assuring us to go ahead.  We thank him and look for any avalible seats.  We thankfully find one and claim it as ours.  After we settle in one of the workers comes over to lock our door.

"Enjoy,"  She says before walking away.

In no time we were being lifted into the air.  Even though I am afraid of heights this ride somehow doesn't faze me.  Maybe it was the fact that all could think about was how close Niall and I were seated.  Nervously, I scoot a bit closer to him. When he notices what I was doing, his eyes sparkle and he smiles wide which causes me to blush.

"This is nice," He says, resting his hand beside mine.

I glance at our almost touching hands and smile, " It is, isn't it?"

He nods, slowly sliding his hand into mine.  Bam!  There goes the butterflies.

As we come to the very top of the wheel we stop.  Normally I would freak out, but right now that was the last thing I was thinking about doing.

"Wow," I gush, looking out at the sunset that glows in front of us, "isn't this the most beautiful sight you have ever seen?"

"Yeah," He responds.  I slowly glance at him to find him looking at me instead of the sunset like I expected him to.  My cheeks immediately heat up.

He chuckles, "You're cute when you blush."

Oh God, I thought as I attempted to calm myself down. Why'd he have to say that?

His statement only made me blush even more.  I cover my face trying to save myself from all this embarrassment.  He grabs both my hands and prides them away from my face.

"Don't hide your beauty."

I stare at him wide eye.  I think I just died a little inside.  I nervously giggle and look away.  He let go of my hand and placed his finger under my chin to turn my head to face him.  I gaze into his sky blue eyes and instantly got lost in them.  I knew then and there that there was no way I was going to be able to get out of this now.  He starts to lean in and I found myself doing the same. As our lips were inches apart we were interrupted by a loud squeal.

"Is that Niall Horan?" A random girl screams.
