But, Shes my Best Friend (Ashton Irwin fan fiction)

Chapter 16

We finally made it to the top. We had talked about anything and everything until there was nothin to 'gossip' about, debate about, or just joke about. When the person told us we each hopped onto large tub thing. I hid the phone behind my back while we endeavoured into the dark hole of the slide. It started off slow, I decided to take a picture of all of us while it kept going slow.

Soon after, it started to speed up. Jerking side to side and splashing us with water. Shrieks came from all of us as it jerked, and rapidly went about.

We soon began to see light, and we knew we were about to fall. We each grabbed ahold of the small ropes on the side of it.

We began to descend down, our screaming rang in my ears. My heart began to thump in my chest and the butterflies in my stomach fluttered around crazily. At the tipity-top, you could practically see the whole water park. The way down was fast, before we knew it we were all laughing and heading to the next slide.

The line for this one was tremendously long. I looked at the pictures we took inside then slide.

"Does this line ever moooveee?!" Calum groaned.

"we should've gotten fast-passes, do they even have those here?" Chloe asked.

I shrugged, "I don't think so... Only at the theme parks" We slowly proceeded in line.

"The sun is killing me" Ashton sighed, shielding his eyes from the hot burning sun.

"You're not the only, and it helps your tan. You're getting a bit pale" I teased him.

He gave me this half-laugh kind of laugh. I had felt bad, not knowing if I had offended him or not.

"We're having a bit of difficulties at the moment, you may head to one of the different rides, or stay in your position. We must warn you though, we don't know how long it will take. Thank you for understand and have a nice day here in Aquatica" A lady with a monotone voice said over the intercom of the ride.

Many groans filled the line. The line moved quicker, since many people were leaving. The group behind us decided to leave. Leaving 2 very familiar people behinds us.

"Should we leave or stay?" Calum asked.

I noticed Luke and Michael out of the corner of my eye, "we should stay" I said.

"Are you sure I mean-" Ashton began.

"Oh hey Zoë! I didn't realise you were even there" Luke cut him off, making me turn around.

"Hey!" I flashed him a smile. His blue eyes were still noticeable under the shade of the wooden boards that covered everyone under them, making it a pretty dark place.

•ASHTON'S POV•

Luke and Zoë began to talk. A pang of jealously had hit me. Did she already forget the events that took place last night? I mean it wasn't much just as kiss.

Just a kiss.

That's all it was. I was obsessing over too much. But when you love someone alot it's really hard to forget those types of moments. It's even more painful to see them forget those little moments.

"Wow, she'll never look at me like she looks at Luke, she'll never hold my hand in public, kiss me in public. We'll never be anything but good friends... Really good friends" I thought as we moved further in line. Everyone leaving. Leaving only about 20 people. We reached the very top floor to where the beginning of the slide was. They had a whole bunch of people around so it was hard to tell what was going on. People were chilling out, sitting down, leaning against the wooden railings or just standing there talking to the workers. Calum and I stood awkwardly as the girls talked to Luke and Michael. It got me kind of mad,because we came here to spend time with each other. Not for them to go off and find some guys.

"If this is going on all day, I'm leaving" Calum whispered. We were both facing the front, our backs to them. Avoiding the giggling and flirting.

"I'll come with you"

It wasn't just jealously, it was the fact that they didn't even know who they were. Heck, Michael's my cousin and I don't even know what he does, or where he lives!

And they're all over them, and me and Calum both know how they would act if they asked them to do something or come with them somewhere. Sadly, they would so do it. For the "thrill" of it, and as Chloe likes to say, "you only live once, so it's better experiencing a lot now and not living with regrets of what you missed out on throughout life".

I soon grew impatient and irritated. I let out a deep sigh. Hoping we wouldn't be here any longer.

"Are you guys ok?" Zoë asked us.

"Fine why?" Calum replied.

She shrugged, "you looked, I don't know, mad... Annoyed almost"

"We do?" I asked. She slowly nodded, opening her mouth to say, but quickly closing it deciding against it. She turned back to engage in conversation with the boys and Chloe.

***

It had seemed like forever, when they finally let us on. None of us ever finding out what the problem was. Even after numerous attempts of asking one of the workers there. The girls went first. Followed by Luke and Michael. After they went Calum did, and I was last.

I pushed myself a little then folded my arms across my chest as directed, then I head off. My back made soft contact with the water pushing me faster down the slide. I looked up at the clear blue sky. I jerked to the right, taking a sharp turn. I was pretty sure I was spiralling downwards.

Soon I was just going straight down before landing into the water. I headed out of the water and looked around for my 'friends'. Who had probably ditched me. I walked a bit further in the only direction I could go. Forward.

I heard Chloe's familiar giggle, I sped my walk a little. I saw them sitting at a bench. A very aggravated Calum at the end of it.

"What took soo long?" Chloe looked up at me.

"Long?"

"Yeah it took forever" she practically groaned.

"I was on it the same amount of time you were on it" I was getting a bit mad, knowing she was only acting this way because "cute guys" were around.

"I was teasing, don't get your panties in a twist" she chuckled, Michael snorted. I glared at him, in return he smirked at me.

"Where next?" Zoë asked.

"Anywhere you want" Luke answered. My eyes darted to the hand he was placing on her thigh. She rolled her shoulders back, showing a sigh of discomfort to his contact to her. But didn't make any effort to move it away. I closed my eyes for a short time.

"Why don't you 4 go somewhere together since you're all getting along so well, and me and Calum will go a different way" a hint of sarcasm filled my voice.

"What's wrong with you?" Zoë asked, noticing the bit of attitude in my voice.

"Nothing, I just think you'd rather us not be in the picture"

She raised her eyebrow at me, "whatever" she muttered, "lets go somewhere then"

The four at them got up at the same time, and left.

"What was that all about?" Calum asked me, still sitting down. I decided to sit across from him.

"Everything and nothing" I answered.

"Is someone jealous?" He teased.

"No"

"Yeah you are"

"No I'm not"

"Just a little?"

"Maybe a little, yeah" I laughed. I debated for a second if I should tell him what happened. But knowing Calum, he'd bring that up almost everyday.

"What pisses me off the most is she doesn't fucking know them. I don't even know them and Michael's my own damn cousin, and she's acting as if they've been friend or whatever for the longest if times. She's more comfortable around him then she is with me" I said breaking the silence.

"You know that's not true, you've been friends forever, I don't think one guy is gonna change it"

"But it can" I softly spoke.
