"We just ate and now you want us to do that?!" Corey asks. "Uh... Yeah!" Elton says and I'm frozen in my steps. There is a huge metal container that currently holds two girls. A blood curdling screams echo through the mountains as they pull something and they fly like a swing. They swing right off the face of the mountain and then swing back to where they started. They continue to swing until they slowly come to a stop. We all look at each other and then back as they call for the next two people in line to get onto the platform. Colby and I look up and hesitantly go up to the platform. We stand while she gestures her hand for Colby to get in. Colby has soft eyes and his smile, one I have never seen before. "Hey." He says to her. "Hi, whats your name?" She says in a normal voice. "Colby Brock." he says and she instantly becomes softer. "Are you american?" She asks, her thick New Zealand accent comes through easily. Are they flirting? "Yeah, Im from Los Angeles." he says, looking her in the eyes. "Wow, that must be amazing." She says as she gestures for me to step into my seat. They continue to make small talk until I am buckled in and the safety checks have been done. A sudden jolt makes our hearts race as we move backwards quickly, higher and higher. The others become small as we go further away and the view because more and more beautiful which I didn't think was possible as we drift up on an angle, following the hill underneath us. Another jolt tells us we have stopped and warned us that we are going to fly. "Pull the rope!" a soft, distant voice calls. "3!.. 2!..1!" We count down and Colby pulls. "Click" We are flying. I have never felt a feeling like this. The feeling of flying. Bungie jumping felt like falling and the Luge felt like you were zooming but this, this was different. This felt like you were on a swing set and you were about to touch the sky but higher and more beautiful. This felt like there was nothing in the world around you but the earth and the blue obis above me. This was nothing I could even describe.
When I snapped back to reality (A/N Op there goes gravity.... Sorry, I had to :P )
We scream with exhilaration dripping from our voices. Colby screams out of fear whether I scream from adrenaline and the feeling of freedom. Once we slow down, I can finally recognise the thudding sound to be from my heart. "That was crazy!" I say to Colby. He is just laughing from how amazing that was and I began to laugh with him. We got off the ride but Colby held up behind me to talk to the girl. I laugh as he hands over his phone to her. "GET IT COLBY!" I scream and the other guys pat my shoulders whilst laughing extremely hard. I turn around to the guys to find Sam on the floor, holding his stomach from laugher. "Ignore her." I hear him say before she gives me a smile and a little snicker and Colby comes down from the platform and gives me a shove. I laugh as he starts to snicker with us, trying desperately to not laugh with us. I walk back up the stairs and offer a hand to the girl. I shake her hand and she gives me a beam. "Sorry about that, Im Juliet, Colby's sister. She shakes my hand. "Im Kayla." She says. "Do the next two want to come up?" she says and Corey continues to try and run away. "one second!" I say to her and I go behind him to push him up the stairs and into the chair for her to strap him in. Elton then takes the seat next to him and you could literally hear the metal clink of Corey's tapping his shoes on the foot plates. Nervousness drips from his every action. The head up and even then, all you could hear was Corey screaming. I couldn't help but laugh until my stomach hurt. They get to the top and Corey hesitantly pulls the rope after the count down. "Its not working!" I hear from far up. My heart instantly sinks to the bottom of my heart. "WHAT?!" I scream. I now feel my hear thumping extreamly fast.. Not only is it lying there in the pit of my stomach but it is also it thumping at a million miles per hour. All of a sudden, they come zooming down, flying just like we were. "That scared the crap out of me." I say to Sam and Colby. They nod their heads in agreement. "Yeah, I actually think I stopped breathing for a second." I nod my head but for some reason, my stomach still isn't settled. I laugh at Corey's screaming, you can hear it as they zoom past in the speed of light. It's quite amusing to watch was Elton laughs like an insane person. His laughing could be mistaken for a serial killer and could easiler heard from the bottom of the mountain. Corey steps off the ride and still continues to scream, his legs and hands, shaking violently. He walks past us as if walking back to the RV screaming. We all laugh as he finally stops and turns back around to us. Sam goes on by himself and he screams just as much as Colby did. To be honest though, I think Colby wasn't even screaming that much because he wanted to impress Kayla. We all laugh while we wait for Sam to finish his turn. The breeze up on the mountain starts to whip and become cool so I pull my hood up and pull my sleeves over my wrists. The view was still as stunning as ever, crystal blue sky's and deep green grass. Mother natures work at its finest. I drag Colby over to the open, flat area to take photos and I do a couple of poses. The photos turn sour great and I can't wait to edit them later. Colby does as well, posing for his instagram photos. I give him a few suggestions on what to do and he loves the end products. Sam, Corey and Elton want me to take their pictures do, I suggesting some of the same poses as Colby and a few new ones, making sure that everyone's instagrams are on point.
The gondola trip down the mountain was peaceful. We all just kind of sat there in silence, thinking about how amazing today has been. We head back to the RV, talking about our favourite parts of today. "What was yours Jules?" Corey asks me as we sit down at the table. "Probably...." I say, having to take a second to think about it. "Spending it with you guys." "AWWWWWWWWWW" They scream, exadurating a lot to make me laugh. "ha ha yeah I know, cliche, but its true!" I say, smiling and Sam gives me a side hug because he is sitting next to me. We sit down, resting in our own tranquil spaces, doing our own things. I'm editing the photos we want to put on Instagram later for the guys and for myself, I asked if they needed any editing done on them so I wrote down a few in my note book. We expect to be driving for 4 hours when we suddenly stop after only two and the sun has gone down behind the ocean, revealing a dark, starry sky. "What are we doing?" I call out and all the guys stand in front of me. "Sorry Jules." Sam says as he places something over my eyes. A Blindfold? He leads me out of the RV, clunks from metal follow behind. Sam tells me to stay here after I hear another few clunks from outside the RV. The sound of someone climbing the ladder in the RV is familiar but the noises are outside. A pair of hands grab my shoulders and lead me back to the sound of convocation from the boys, turning my around to face the RV. I think, I got a bit disoriented. "Open your eyes, Jules" Colby says as he takes the blind fold off. The darkness is gone to reveal the ladder from inside going to the roof of the RV. I climb up the ladder and see a bunch of pillows and blankets lying there. "OMG thank you guys!" I say. Im awestruck that they would do something like this for me. They have strung fairy lights around the top rim of the RV, making it look adorable and tumblr. Its the only real source of light we have besides the moon. Music begins playing and I turn my head to see a giant white sheet, attached to a large pole rim. I recognise the start of the movie and realise we are at a drive in cinema. IT starts playing and I get comfortable, cuddling on my pillow with a blanket round my shoulders. I sit in the middle of everyone when I realise that someone is missing. Corey. As if on cue, Corey comes over to the RV with a man, arms both full of cups and popcorn. A tear starts to shed from my eyes. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. It truly is the best birthday ever.
"I'll be back." Colby says as he swiftly and gracefully climbs down the ladder. The door creaks open and a few thuds come from inside. "How did you know they were playing IT today?" I ask Elton and he starts to have his evil grin grow again on his face. "I didn't. But with a promo and some cash you can get anywhere." My eyes grow as I give him a squeeze, I can't hide the thankful smile The is plastered on my face. He is the best Uncle ever. Colby comes climbing up the ladder with something in his hand. My cupcake that I bought at the store the other day. The chocolate bar I bought was shaved over the top of the cupcake and the flake bar was sticking out as if it was an ice cream. "Happy birthday to you!" They sing and I blush, holding them in a group hug. It was really uncomfortable because we were sitting down but we didn't care. I film them singing happy birthday and take a few photos of my cupcake up against the fairy lights. We watch the movie and eat the popcorn as our dinner. I look around at the guys, their faces all individually lit up by the yellow glow of the fairy lights. This is my family that I was waiting for years for and it was so worth the wait.
