#Chapter3

Two

Walking to the fair was probably the most awkward walk of my existence. Trey finally let go of my shoulder once he realised the stiffness of my body. When he released his hold I could finally breathe out and enjoy myself. My anxiety was eating away at me but I tried my best to push it to the back of my mind.

We finally got to the fair after that anxiety-filled walk I started to notice at the pure scale of the amount of people that were here at the fair. Only a few that I could recognise whereas Trey, on the other hand, it seemed like he knew everyone we passed.

I scanned the nearby stalls praying for a quick break away from Trey, but even with Trey talking to someone who was trying their best to get his full attention.

Trey quickly grabbed my arm pulling me around the burger stall. So you could probably guess the panic look on my face when Trey was walking up to one of the scariest rides in the whole park.

My mind flashes instantly to one of the scariest days of my life. During a school trip to the famous rollercoaster park in London. The ride stopped as to me and my friend Amelia were on it. From that day I have had a horrible fear of heights.

Trey instantly started getting into a conversation with the guy managing the ride. I peered around Trey's body to see if I recognised him but I had no luck as the guy looked much older than us. Once Trey had finished talking, the guy was watching me with his kind eyes as Trey glanced back.

I saw his lip roll into his mouth "Mia come on , don't tell me you're scared of a little ride " he taunts me, he waits for my reply but fortunately for him he doesn't get one. I keep my mouth shut.

"Because if you do I may have to rethink our friendship Mia," he says walking over to me. My eyes flicked up at him, wondering if I had misheard him. Because surely he didn't just imply that we were friends in the first place.

Sighing deeply I step back just to create some distance between us.

"I'm scared of heights " I admit quietly, I even looked around to see if anyone heard but luckily there was nobody close enough to even hear me.

Thank god for that.

Trey looks at me a smile threatening to break out. "Laugh away but I'm not going on that thing " I point at the monster ride behind him. I cringe as I watch the ride force everyone on the ride to hang upside down.

Trey decides to just let out a chuckle which is considerably better than a full on laughing fit that I was scared he would actually do.

"Nope not good enough let's go" he grabs a hold of my arm pulling me towards the death trap. I just continue to stare at him.

Is he serious, did he not hear me do I have to tell him again.

"Trey, I don't know if you heard but I said" Trey doesn't let me finish he just continues walking ahead.

"I heard you perfectly, I just chose to ignore it" he says stopping briefly to look at my expression.

How bloody rude, is that how he talks to all the girls. If it is I don't know why they love him so much.

As I sit in the seat next to Trey I think to myself how the hell did I end up here. On a scary fucking ride with Trey Logan.

I could possibly blame all this on Ashley since she's the reason I came here yet she is too busy on a date with a guy I didn't even know existed. Does he even go to our school.

Ashley spends as much time as she can with me but I know she has other friends that she meets up with occasionally. I don't mind really I really enjoy my own company.

You could also call that being lonely. But I'd rather call it that. I think it’s important to enjoy your own company before you let others. It’s all about selfcare and self love in my opinion.

The ride begins to start and I couldn't even keep my eyes open. It's one of those rides where you continue to go up and then pause and then all of a sudden, your dropping at a 180 degree angle to the very bottom at high speed.

We continue to ride up and I occasionally feel trey's leg bumping with mine it must be because of how rocky the ride is as we travel up. When we pause at the top I shut my eyes even more , if that's even possible.

I feel Trey take my hand in his warm ones and squeeze them. I don't attempt to move mine because frankly it's beginning to calm down my beating heart rate.

"Breathe Mia " he whispers, rubbing circles on my hand. His thumb feels light as he traces silly patterns on my hand.

All of the sudden we're turning and I make the mistake of opening my eyes. I'm facing the world below us.

Loads of people are roaming around the park , minding their own business.

Lucky little shits, they're so lucky they get to have two feet on the ground and have no fear that they may just die.

"Hey look that's Ashley isn't it " Trey breaks me out of my thoughts. Pointing to the two figures standing by a burger stand. I guess this is his way of distracting me.

I look closer and smirk slightly when I see that she just slapped him for some odd reason.

If they are going to become involved he better be prepared for the vicious attacks from Ashley.

I have the bruises to prove it.

Well looks like it’s working, Because I am now distracted.
