We were still on the ride when he stopped kissing me.

"You're fine, don't be scared." I nodded my head at his words and held his hand the rest of the ride. When the ride finally stopped we got off and began walking around but I stopped in my tracks when I saw Kylie and Jared walking together. Ash saw them too and let go of my hand.

"There's my brother and that one girl."

"Yeah." Why'd he let go of my hand? His brother knows we have a thing right? Jared spotted us as well and began to walk up to us with Kylie. This should be interesting.

"What's up bro? Ditching school as well I see." Jared said looking at me then back at Ash. I tried my best to pretend Kylie wasn't there at all.

"It wasn't my idea."

"Oh so Adri I see your getting a little bad ass?"

"Dude don't call her Adri."

"Why not? You call her Adri."

"Exactly, so don't call her that." Ash said back to his brother. It was like he was almost mad that he was calling me Adri? Kylie and I made pretty awkward eye contact, I can't believe I use to call her my best friend.

"Sorry dude, anyway do you guys want to grab lunch here with us?" I heard Jared say.

No! Please no!

"Sure." Ash replied. Ugh really!? We all walked to a food stand and ordered some fries and hotdogs. Ash and I got a milkshake to share. I didn't pay attention to what Kylie and Jared got because I could honestly careless! We all sat down Ash sitting next to me and Jared sitting next to Kylie.

My life is filled with awkward moments.

"So are you guys dating now?" Jared asked Ash and I.

"No." Ash and I said in unison.

"Are you guys?" Ash asked back.

"Yes." Kylie said with a huge smile on her face. When did this happen!? great! This was suppose to be a me and Ash day. Not me, Ash, Jared and ex best friend day! What the hell?

I tried to finish my food quickly because I could not stand sitting at the same table as her.

We all finished our food and I gave some gum to Ash because I don't like smelly breathe if u know what I mean. I also put some in my mouth and we were ready to get away from Kylie and Jared or at least I was. Not that I have a problem with Jared but I can't stand Kylie!

I got to pick out fast rides to go on that didn't involve heights which I was happy about and almost every ride Ash kissed me on which was really cute.

"Can we please go on the carousal!" I begged Ash.

"You want to go on the carousal?"

"Yes! I haven't been on one since I was little. Please!"

"Adri your gonna ruin my street cred." I rolled my eyes and pulled him towards the carousal taking that as a yes.

I got on a tiger and Ash got on a pony.

"Oh my god can I please take a picture of you!" I couldn't stop laughing of how funny Ash looked on the pony.

"No! no pictures will be taken during this ride!"

"Come on! You've been taking pictures on every other ride!"

"Adri no pictures! You're lucky I got on the ride!" I rolled my eyes and couldn't contain my laughter. I took out my phone and snapped a really quick picture without him noticing. this ones a keeper! When the ride was over I decided that we would go on another roller coaster.

"Are you sure you want to go on another roller coaster?" Ash asked concerned.

"Yes!" I was a little scare but it was so much fun the last time.

"Alright." He smiled at me and grabbed my hand.

"Besides you only live once."

"You did not just use the YOLO card did you?" Ash said laughing.

"It's true!" We finally got into the ride and I decided that I wanted to sit in the very front but once the ride began I wasn't so sure.

"Um maybe this was a bad idea."

"Adri, you can't chicken out now."

"I'm not chickening out, I promise." I lied. Okay I really want off now!

The ride suddenly started super fast and I squeezed my shut. I heard many screams behind me and began to laugh when I heard Ash scream like a little girl, not so much of a bad boy now!

I finally felt comfortable enough to open my eyes and then there was a huge drop coming!

"OHhhHhhhhhh!" I heard many people say in unison.

My stomach dropped and I began to scream with the little girl next to me. (Ash). The ride finally ended and I was laughing so hard tears came out of my eyes.

"Awww Ash! You screamed like a little girl! That was soooo cute!"

"HA HA I know I screamed like a little girl, can we stop making fun of me now?" I rolled my eyes and took out my phone, it was already 7:30 pm and I didn't realize it but the sun was already down and all the rides were lit up. Wow we've been here all day!

"Come on." Ash said grabbing my hand.

"Where we going?"

"To play some games." I laughed and we walked over to the basketball hoops.

"This game is stupid, the hoops are bent so that the ball won't be able to go through."

"Wanna bet?" Ash said winking at me. He grabbed one of the basketballs and made a hoop. He smiled at me and continued to make more hoops.

The man said that he was able to pick out any giant stuffed animal he wanted to but instead Ash let me pick it out. I pointed at the giant grey elephant that had the cutest face on it because bears are overrated.

"An elephant?" Ash chuckled.

"Yeah." I smiled and hugged it.

"Thank you." I added laughing and kissed him. I'm getting more comfortable with him and let me tell you it's the best feeling in the world.

He grabbed my hand again but this time pulling me.

"Now where are we going?"

"Ferris wheel." he said winking at me again. Not gonna lie that was pretty hot.

We finally got on and I snuggled into him has we went up, i placed my new friend next to me and smiled at the fact that Ash won it for me. Since the seat was swaying back it forth I got pretty scared but Ash took my mind off of it.

"Wow this is really high up."

"Don't worry I got you, I'm never letting go." I felt butterflies in my stomach as he said this.

"My dad called me last night."

"He did? What did you say?"

"I didn't answer I let it go to voice mail."

"Wow."

"What?" I asked confused.

"Nothing it's just that I would kill to have a dad and you just blow yours off." He did not just say that! Is he trying to make me feel guilty or something? I moved a little bit away from him. I rolled my eyes and looked the other direction.

"I know you don't have your dad but I have every right to blow mine off! Did your dad leave his family for another women!? No! Mine did!"

"Adri..."

"No, stop." The ferris wheel came to a stop and I stormed off leaving the stuff animal expecting Ash to grab it.

"Adri where are you going!?"

"Going to call my dad because I apparently I blow him off!" I turned around leaving Ash by himself with my elephant. I can't believe he tried to make me feel guilty for him! What's his problem! So much for my happy ending tonight!

"Adri come on! I just-"

"You just what!?"

"I'm just saying at least you have a dad!"

"I wouldn't call someone who screws their family over for some random women a dad!" My eyes began to water and I turned to walk away. He obviously doesn't get it. I went to the other side of the park and opened the voicemail.

"Adrianna... It's your dad, I know you probably hate me and maybe I hate myself too. I shouldn't have left you an your mother the way I did. I do miss you guys but I was just calling because I wanted to know if we could try and fix our relationship. My fiancé would love to meet you and I would love if you thought about maybe coming to visit? I love you Adrianna and I'm sorry."

I was wiping away my tears when I felt someone tap on my shoulder.

"Go away Ash." I turned around to see a familiar face that wasn't Ash's.

"Jake?" I remembered that I met him at the football game and then Ash got all mad because I was talking to him.

"Hey." He said smiling.

"Wow I didn't think I was going to see you again." He began to chuckle at my words.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Are you here alone?"

"No, I'm with a friend."

"Oh is it that guy from the football game?"

"Yeah."

"Ohh I see, well since we are together right now, all alone I was hoping we could get to know each other more. If you know what I mean." He said coming closer to me putting his hands on my hips. I instantly pushed him off but he came on me again.

"I said no!" This was the time I wish someone could come and save me like they do in the movies! He wouldn't keep his hands off of me so kicked him in the area guys can't stand to kicked in and ran away as fast as I could. My heart was beating super fast and I didn't know what to do.

I just wanted to go home except I have no clue where my real home is! Nothing's going right, and everything's a mess. I began to freeze my ass off, man I should of brought a sweater.

I suddenly felt someone turn me around and crash their lips into mine. I knew right away it was Ash I couldn't forget his scent or the way he kisses me. I didn't want to kiss back because I was mad at him but I couldn't help myself. We finally broke apart for some air and he handed me back the giant elephant.

"I'm really sorry Adri, I don't know why I said that."

"It's fine, I'm glad I found you I just kicked a guy in the balls cause he couldn't keep his hands off of me!"

"What!? did you know him?"

"No." I lied. if I told Ash it was Jake he would freak out.

"I think we should go."

"Yeah me too."

We got back to Ash's car and since it was dark he didn't want me driving. I put the elephant in the back seat and buckled it in the seat belt.

"Seriously?"

"Safety first." I said smiling back at Ash.

"You're something else Adri."

We got in his truck and drive off. Today was pretty fun despite seeing Kylie. Plus me and Ash's little argument, I'm glad we make up fast. I wouldn't be able to ignore him for a whole day if I wanted to.

The whole time I was in the car I was looking out the window just watching the lights wondering where we were going from here. Would we ever be something more then just this? I let my eyes close and felt my body slowing down.
