Perfect Places

The Death Drop

   The waterpark was fun, except for the fact that I had that day's argument dangling over my head. It was almost all that I could think about.

My experience at the waterpark was filled with screaming, swimming, splashing, and a bloody nose. Yeah ... a bloody nose.

Once we were finished up at the waterpark, I definitely wasn't going to go home. Not after Mary slapped me and told me that she didn't blame my real parents for giving me away.

I felt kinda bad crashing at Zanes house so much. I didn't wanna over stay my welcome, as they say.

Even though I knew he would welcome me into his home with open arms, I still felt bad.

I asked Jessica if I could stay at her place, because I knew she would be excited, but she told me that she would be staying at Nick's house.

"Your staying at Nick's?" I asked her mischievously.

"Yeah." Jessica responded, staring off into space.

"Just staying?" I smirked at her.

"Yes!" She insisted.

   I looked down at my hands, thinking about my limited options. I guess I could-

   "Oh, you could totally stay at Nick's house with me if you want. It's more than big enough." Jessica told me, chewing her gum with her mouth wide open.

   I looked at her, "Seriously? Did you ask him?"

   She rolled her eyes, "Trust me Rae, he would and will do anything he possibly can to please me."

   I glanced over at Nick for a second, "Really?"

   "Yeah, totally! There's just one simple rule," She smiled.

   "Whats the rule?" I wondered.

   She looked my straight in the eye, "Don't steal my mans."

   I burst out in laughter, which made her laugh too.

   "No, seriously though, don't even think about it." She demanded.

   "Jessica, I have no intention of stealing anyone's mans, I have my own." I laughed again.

   She smirked at me and I smirked back. Even though I knew she was joking, I still wanted to get my point across.

   Once we had finished our discussion, Jessica ran over to Nick with a huge hug and started quietly talking to him.

   We were all standing in the practically empty parking lot of the waterpark. I wrapped my towel around me, and stared off into the distance.

   Jessica and Nick were still talking to each other. Zane made his way towards me, with his hands full of stuffed beach bags, towels, sunscreen, brushes, and all kinds of stuff.

   I smiled at him, and took something things out of his hands.

   "Thank you for going on the Death Drop with me," He said to me.

   Oh yes, the Death Drop. The Death Drop was a huge water slide that had this steep, horrific drop. Hence the name, Death Drop.

   At first, when I walked into the waterpark, I knew that I was not going on that slide. I had convinced myself to say no to anyone asking me to go with them.

   "Heh, your welcome. It was kinda fun in a way." I replied, walking towards Jessica's Tesla.

   "Yeah, it was. Except for the fact that I'm practically deaf now." He laughed.
