"Come on, let's go on it again!" I shriek in delight and rush around to get back in line for the ride. Today is a customer appreciation day at the mall, and all the attractions are free. Throngs of teenagers have invaded the indoor amusement park to take advantage of the free fun.

"Seriously, we just went on it three times." Taylor laughs, but joins me back in line with the rest of our friends. I lean forward to brush his dark hair away from his face and give him a swift kiss on the lips. "Just leave it alone!" He groans but wraps his arms around my waist, lifting me into the air. A wild giggle escapes my lips, echoing into the surrounding chaos.

As Taylor places me back on the ground, I am grinning ear to ear. Today has been one of the best days we have had in a long time. Things have been rough with Taylor and I lately, I think we both know the end is coming but neither of us want to be the one to say it. I've been waiting for so long to get a second chance with him and if I'm being honest, it's been a bit disappointing. But I'm not thinking about any of that today. All I am thinking about is how much fun I am having and which ride I'm going to go on next.

"Hey, there's Becca and Nik." My friend Alyssa leans forward, whispering in my ear. Alyssa is closer to Taylor and his group of friends, so we've been spending a lot of time together. While I've been hanging out with this crowd, Becca and Nik have been growing closer. I try not to let it bother me, but my body boils with anger at the sight of them.

"Just let it go." Taylor wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me into his side. I think he has become more aware of the dynamic between Nik and I. He knows how Nik feels about me and over the last few weeks Taylor has become annoyed with my slight obsession over Becca and Nik.

"No," I snort back at Taylor and push his arm off of me. "I told him not to come here. He's going to regret this." I shove my way back out of the line, not caring whose feet I step on or if my elbows land in people's ribs.

Get out of my way.

I'm almost blind with the rage. I told Nik not to come here because I would be here and I didn't want to see him. Now here he is with Becca! When I reach the two of them I grasp Nik's arm and yank on it hard, forcing him to turnaround and face me. "I thought I told you not to come here!" I exclaim and drop his arm roughly.

"What makes you think you can tell him where he can go!" Becca snarls at me and I hate how she instantly jumps to his defense. I bring my hand up to her face, ignoring her words and remain focused on Nik.

"I told you I didn't want to see you here. Why are you trying to piss me off? What did I tell you would happen if you came here today, huh?" Adrenaline is pumping through me so furiously, a swell of nausea rises in me.

"Come on, I just want to hang out with everyone else." Nik pleads. "I won't even look your way, you can still have fun with your boyfriend just act like I'm not even here."

I fold my arms across my chest and huff in irritation. Why couldn't he just listen to my specific orders? Do not come. I don't want to see you there. It's not that damn hard!

"Whatever Nik, I told you if you came today I would never talk to you again. So enjoy your life," I gesture to his bandana bound wrists, "what's left of it, anyway. Why don't you just finish the job already?" I snarl in a disgusted tone. Becca's jaw drops in surprise and I'm sure she is about to cuss me out but I turn on my heel and stalk back towards Taylor and our friends.

When I force my way through the line, shooting glares to the people who attempt to block me from rejoining my friends, I monitor Nik and Becca as they walk away. Becca slides her hand into Nik's and leads him towards the far side of the amusement park. Good. I don't want to see either of them.

Who does he think he is? Showing up here when I told him not to, and with her? Who does she think she is? It's like we aren't even friends anymore; All she cares about is moving in on Nik and trying to take my place. Well, won't it suck for her when I apologize to Nik tomorrow and make him forget all about her.

All I want is for him to stay right where I want him and I have to admit, I don't know where exactly that is. What I do know is that Becca needs to back off of Nik or we are going to have a big problem. I think they both need to remember who is in control here. It's me. I'm in control.
