Holiday sun—chapter 14- a day to remember part 2
As I may be a little hyper from a hilarious and awesome day- well- it may make my writing better, hopefully. Or make it more random... Plus no school cos the water went off for most of Cheltenham!
I hope you enjoy! :D
The beginning is mostly in Lester's POV
Connor grinned up at the others as he carefully handed over the tickets to get into the waterpark...
He was extremely giddy by now and continued to jump up and down repeatedly (as he couldn't stand still for more than a few seconds).
Connor grinned with delight as he slowly led the others through the turnstile. He immediately began to giggle as he led Abby through. Abby was already glaring over at the others- "why is Connor always so hyper!" she squealed. But she was smiling nonetheless.
Following behind them at a steady distance was Lester; Lester was in a slight mood already, as he didn't want to go a day with Connor in this mood- as it was extremely irritating to say the least. Then there was Jess and Becker, okay, okay he liked Jess but together they were such a pain. Holding hands when they thought nobody was watching... then there was Abby- who complained a lot about Connor. If she hated him that much—well why was she engaged with him. Ah, he wasn't supposed to know that was he? Well Lester does overhear a lot of gossip when he shouldn't- plus he always gets away with it! Then there's Emily and Matt, fine they are the normal couple compared to the rest- well as normal as they get around here. But one is actually from the past, and the other from a future that they might have rewritten to result in Matt's past being turned inside out- all in a day's work!
Lester glared at Connor- his first ride choice wasn't Lester's favourite. He hated things like this. To be honest, but he had no choice in the matter...
So they got on this stupid dinosaur ride which was creepy to say the least in Lester's opinion. Lester was trying with all his willpower to keep the same uncaring expression. But looking at everyone briefly as they were on the ride just made Lester smile. These were his team and they were doing exactly what he thought they would be doing in the circumstance.
Jess was holding onto Becker's arm; well it was a good enough reason to do so... Becker for that reason was trying to keep a straight face but couldn't stop from grinning.
Abby and Connor were in hysterics. That's what they were doing, laughing in the face of something slightly scary... if they did that at work then- well that wasn't a good attitude. Connor normally freaked out so at least he wasn't doing that.
Emily and Matt were talking and not exactly paying that much attention even though they wouldn't be scared in the slightest.
It had been a few hours since they'd got here on the bus and they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Sadly, (and to Becker's amusement) Connor had managed to get really soaked when on the biggest water ride. He asked Becker if he could go at the front, so it really was his fault. But it still was really funny as the exceedingly soaking wet form of Connor (who managed to look a little like a drowned rat). When everyone else noticed this they were almost rolling on the floor with laughter. Abby just decided that this was normal and was the kind of thing he was going to do at a waterpark... get really wet. That was why she had removed everything from his persons which was important and placed it into her bag. He thought she didn't trust him with the money- but she didn't trust him with being mature for one second.
To cheer himself up Connor went and bought a bag of chips and got into the queue for a really fast ride. Then he was planning to go onto a ghost ride after this.
Meanwhile, Jess and Becker were trying to go on the rides furthest away from the group so they could enjoy themselves without having the nuisance of an annoying (and hyperactive) Connor. "Which ride do you want to go on now?" Jess asked. She gazed up at Becker and followed his eyes to what he was watching; Lester, Lester was sitting and drinking a hot drink on a low wall. But that wasn't it...
Connor was slightly green and still giggling hysterically. Becker knew- if he didn't calm down he was going to be sick... Becker turned and looked at Jess. "Okay, but why does he always have to be looked after like some small child," she murmured looking sadly at Becker.
They wanted some time together to talk but Connor had got in the way, again. "He is a small child Jess," Becker laughed. Yes; Connor was the immature childlike one, as he really hated being completely serious even in the most inappropriate times... he hated people being serious- it gave him a bad vibe.
"Why do you always have to look after them, they can look after themselves Becker," Jess explained looking briefly up at him as she said it. She wanted to see what his reaction was to her comment.
Jess noticed as Becker's face changed into concern then back into a blank emotionless image. "It's my job and if any of them got hurt then I'd blame myself for it, it's who I am Jessica," Becker contemplated. This worried her slightly... he hadn't let the past go. Whatever happened in his past he still hasn't let go- and Jess was planning to help him overcome whatever was wrong... Becker frowned slightly and came to a stop standing behind Connor. He laid a hand gently on Connor's shoulder and Connor froze. Muttering something under his breath Connor followed Becker to the nearby bench where Lester was still sitting.
"Whatever he's done wrong- he is not going to be sick on me- I hate that smell," Lester murmured placing a protective hand over his steaming cup of Coffee.
"I'll make sure of it sir," Becker grinned and shoved Connor down beside Lester. Connor looked over at Lester and smiled, then he stopped as he started to feel... not good at all...
Matt looked across at the others coming out of the scariest ride in the whole park. He looked over at Emily who had placed her hand lightly on top of his. He almost laughed as he saw them emerge. Connor was holding tightly to Abby's hand and Abby was muttering something to him. There was a content-looking Lester (who had a smirk on his face from whatever Abby was saying). Then he saw Jess and Becker were laughing; now they were holding hands- not caring if anyone noticed. Matt smiled slightly, at least that's a good thing coming of this holiday, and finally Becker wasn't showing he was an 'Emotional Retard'.
"What is Abby saying to Connor?" Matt asked leaning over to Emily.
Emily's face creased as she concentrated on staring at Abby as she spoke to Connor. "Mmmm... I think... yeah- 'Zombie's aren't real Connor. If there was an apocalypse I promise I wouldn't eat you'...!" Emily cracked into laughter. It was exactly what he would say. Suddenly that ride seemed really appealing, but right now they preferred getting some lunch and enjoying themselves.
Connor smiled as he saw Lester walking over to Emily and Matt, he was pleased as everyone seemed very happy. They weren't exactly laughing at him now- so he was glad of that at least. Becker and Jess left a few minutes ago to go on some ride... he wanted to go on it, but from the way they were acting he knew that they wanted to be alone. Connor laughed slightly, maybe soon Jess would get with Becker and then they would be able to go on a kind-of triple date if Emily and Matt wanted to come.
Connor waited in another queue for another of one of the larger rides. He smiled at Abby and looked towards the gates as they were nearing them. He really wanted to go on this one... After a brief wait Abby and Connor climbed into their seats and waited as the bar slid down to hold them in place.
Connor squealed as the ride rocketed skywards. He related to this to something he went on when he was a little younger with Duncan at Alton Towers. It was called 'Air' Connor thought to himself as he felt the weightless sensation drifting into him.
"This is what flying feels like!" he cried as they whizzed over the heads of the people below. Connor smiled gleefully and sighed with relief. This was the first time in years that he had been able to let go and think about something so relaxing and calm. He was thinking about his younger self, the one who was happy. The one who seemed so free... well that never lasts...
Connor frowned sadly as he saw the end just ahead and felt the ride slowly returning to an upright position so they could get out. Abby climbed out first and walked toward the exit thinking Connor was right behind her. Connor stared at the pictures as they flashed by...
Oh no...
The man was here with them, he had even been on the same ride, if he looked right... The man had been a few seats back. Connor turned and jogged to the exit. He stumbled back and tried to catch up to Abby. Connor turned and looked back. There he was, just staring at Connor and nodding angrily.
Something was wrong and Connor really wished he could go home right now and get away from it. Connor turned back around to walk straight at Abby. Abby frowned and looked worried, "What's wrong Connor?" she asked.
Connor looked back and saw the man was gone. "N...nothing Abby. Can we go get some food?" Connor asked and quickly walked away from the ride. He hoped he could lose the man in the crowds...
Matt stood up on the bus and walked over to sit beside Becker. "Did you notice Connor?" Matt asked motioning towards Connor who was staring out of the bus to the traffic behind them. Connor was really worried now that the man was following. He really didn't want to come face-to-face again. It really scared him what the man could do, and why for that matter.
"Yeah," Becker whispered quietly. "He was acting really weird after we left him with Abby to go on that ride," Becker explained.
"We better keep an eye on him," Matt suggested and nodded to Becker who signalled that he agreed. Becker moved away and sat back beside Jess, something was really, really wrong. What had happened when they had left?
Back at the hotel everyone decided to go out to have a drink. But at the last moment Connor told everyone that he didn't feel very well and refused to go with them. Becker decided then- he had to get out of Connor what happened. What really happened...? Becker knew that Abby would know something. Anything would help finding the solution to whatever was happening...
I think that is rather long enough as I haven't written for a while. Sorry if there are any mistakes as I have to go to a funeral now... I will try and write as soon as I can :D :v
