Fulton's POV

I realized I was climbing up the ladder towards my biggest fear. I was starting to shudder a bit. I reached the top and all the ducks were already there. the first one to dive off was Jessie, so we all knew the proper way to drop off dead man's drop. how wonderful! Portman was next, then Averman which Julie knocked off because he said something annoying like usual, then Goldberg who was afraid of heights but did it anyway with his eyes closed so he wouldn't look like a wimp in front of the ducks. Adam went next, then Connie and Guy went together holding hands because Connie looked as though she was going to have a heart attack and of course Guy was there to comfort her. Russ, Dwayne, and Kenny who all did it with no fear what so ever. the last 3 were Portman, Charlie, and Julie. great the 2 people I want most not to see me scared, oh well at least Averman wasn't up here to mock me.

"alright Fult you and me can go next!" Portman said excitedly patting me on the back.

"maybe Fulton should go last, you know save the best jump for last?" Julie nudged Portman in a playful way. thank god for Julie, man she was willing to flirt a little with Portman just to get him overboard so I wouldn't be embarrassed.

"okay what ever you say babe," Portman winked at her and then jumped off.

"I hate it when he calls you girls that," Charlie said sticking up for Julie and Connie like usual.

"it's okay Charlie, Fulton maybe you should tell Charlie what you told me?" I thought for a minute, should I? I guess so I mean Charlie is like one of my best friends and unlike Portman I knew he wouldn't laugh.

"well okay, you see Charlie I am kind of afraid of...," I trailed off.

"what Fult? afraid of heights, getting hurt?"

"no...I'm afraid of water,"

"you afraid of water but why?" he looked worried for a minute.

"well because of the movie Jaws," I looked up frowning at the two of them.

"and I didn't want everyone to laugh at me, because I'm supposed to be tough, mighty Fulton, not afraid of water wimp,"

"Fulton you're not a wimp, lots of people are afraid of water, I mean everyone has to be afraid of something," then Julie spoke up

"I mean I am afraid of monsters, scary movies sometimes give me nightmares," she laughed a little, and I noticed I started to smile.

"and I'm kind of afraid of the dark, but I'm really afraid of losing all my friends and my family," Charlie said as he started to burst out laughing.

"If we are afraid why are we laughing at those fears?" I really wanted to know

"because Fulton, if we don't laugh at them, or conquer them then we will always be scared," Charlie pointed at the edge

"hey if you want Charlie and I can jump off with you," Julie reached out her hand for mine, as I took both her hand and Charlie's we all took one step and jumped off.
