scaredy cat

Gemma POV

               We walk in and the kids in the arcade look at her.

S: G-Gemma this isnt a g-good idea

G: nah its fine dude here

                I hand her a pink card.

G: its for the games this has unlimited points so ya can play forever

S: wow r-really?

G: perks of working at the bar is ya get a free on. Come on i'll buy myself on and we can play

                  Harley gives me one and show Shatter around for a couple minutes, teaching her some game maniacs. I head to the Jurassic park shooter with Shatter. I swipe and turn it on

S: s-so what do we do?

G: that button is the trigger...that's all you'll need to know

S: soo...point the finger, pull the trigger...throw me off your trail?

G: aha yeah sure

                       Its starts and i start shooting down every dino. A trex pops out and Shatter screams. I shoot it in the mouth and blood goes everywhere. By the end i beat her by about 400 points and we get tickets.

S: t-that w-was...

G: Shatter...were you...scared?

S: what me? scared? hell nah i was just um surprised is all

G: yeah right okay

S: i-i'm serious

G: alright follow me then

                       I lead her to the vr set...fnaf help wanted.

G: can ya handle this?

S: *gulp* yeah d-duh

                        I help her get the headset strapped on and give her the controls. She lasts about 5 mins...

G: 5...4...3...2 you forgot that vent

S: WHAT-

G: 1-

S: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

                    She jumps back and trips, thankfully im behind her so i catch her.

S: g-get this t-thing o-off please

                        I see the screen that showed what she was doing start to glitch out. Alright yeah thats enough. I get it off her and hand it to the next kid in line. We walk out of the area so they can play and i notice Shatters looking down...shes glitching a lil

G: h-hey Shatter you good?

S: *sniff*

                        ...wait. I

G: hey bud wait are you-

S: N-NO IM F-FINE

                       go in front of her and tilt her chin up to get a good look at her. She's crying...oh my God shes like a baby...oh my heart. she looks scared to even move

G: aw wait Shatter i didn't think you'd actually get scared

S: *sniff*

G: hey come here

                         I pull her into a hug. 

G: look im sorry Shatter, you didn't tell me so i assumed you'd be okay...ya wanna just go home?

S: y- *sniff* y-yeah

                       We walk to the car and i drive her home. I can't believe someone like her could be such a lil scaredy cat. I feel so bad. We pull up and she bolts to her door. I walk up and put my hand on her shoulder which makes her jump. Poor baby is so spooked.

S: AHHH

G: hey hey its just me...you forgot these

                        I hand her the book and her keys. The door opens and Lexie looks at her.

L: shatter there ya are geez i-...are you okay?

                    Shatter just walks in with her head down.

L: i-...is she...is she cryin-

G: shhh yeah um *gulp* i didn't know she couldnt handle kid horror

                     Her eyes go wide.

L: shatter? the horror movie of a human...i think human anyways...cant handle?

G: shh...look can i come in? i feel i owe her

L: um yeah sure i'll just be in my room going over my blue prints

                     I walk in and she heads to her room. I see Shatter wrapped in a blanket on the sofa. The lights were flickering which seemed to scare her more

G: hey Shatter

S: *whimper*

G: *looks up*...can ya?

S: i c-cant c-c-control it s-sorry
