Luke's POV

After Calum walked off, I was thoroughly confused. I didn't know what he could want to talk to me about. It consumed my brain, and if I didn't stop thinking about it, I was positive that I would go insane.

"Luke let's go play that! It looks so fun!" Kate said jumping up and down. I turned around, and it was some sort of game with a ladder.

We went over and stood in line. There were a couple of pairs ahead of us, so I took the opportunity to figure out what we were supposed to do.

I watched the guy who was working the stand blow a whistle, and the two raced up the ladder. Only, it wasn't that easy. It was a rope ladder, connected at the top and bottom of the booth, on an incline. It wasn't very steep either, but it was nearly impossible to win, unless you were a ninja of course.

Every time anyone got remotely close to the bell at the top, the ladder would give, and they would flip over, causing them to fall on the trampoline below.

By the time I finished analyzing the game, it was Kate and I's turn to go. Kate went to her respective side of the booth, and I went to mine. I handed the guy five dollars and took my stance.

"If you don't get to the top, you'll get a prize from the sides. If you get to the top but you don't ring the bell up there, you'll get a prize from the back wall. If you ring the bell, you'll get a prize that's hanging from the ceiling," he explained.

Kate nodded rapidly, and I did too, just not as eagerly. He blew a whistle , and we set off. I grabbed onto the sides of the rope ladder, and Kate went straight for the middle bars. I went as fast as I could go, but it was very challenging.

"My legs are too long for this, oh my god!" I shouted over to Kate. She just laughed and kept going. She was going fast, but also taking her time.

"Sucks to suck, doesn't it?" She replied giggling.

"But it'll suck when you lose, right?" I said and kept climbing. I was almost there, just a quarter away. I looked back at Kate, and she was about halfway there.

She smirked, before saying, "Okay, well if you win, I'll give you a surprise." I knew she was referring to the whole conversation we had about 'sucking'.

My eyes went big, and all of a sudden, my ladder flipped. I fell onto the trampoline, and Kate sped her pace up, ringing the bell five seconds after I had fallen. I got up and walked off, waiting for Kate at the beginning of the game.

The sirens on the tent went off, signaling that Kate won. She crawled back down the ladder and got off the contraption, coming over to where I was standing.

"Cheater," I said nudging her. She just giggled innocently.

"It's not my fault you have poor focusing skills and lanky legs, Breadstick," she replied clutching her tummy because of her laughter. I just huffed, not having a good enough comeback.

The guy who ran the game grabbed a pole with a hook on it and walked over to us.

"Which prize would each of you like? Sir, you can pick from the back wall. Ma'am you can pick a prize from the ceiling," he said.

"Erm, Can I have the heart with the winking face on it?" I asked, Kate in mind. He went over and hooked it so he could get it down. Once it was finally off, he gave it to me. I was about the size of Calum, Michael, Ashton, and I's heads put together. It was cute.

"Can I have that penguin with the scarf over there?" She said point to a huge penguin hanging from the ceiling. He hooked it and got it down for her. He passed it over, and I swear it was like four and a half feet tall.

"Thanks, man," I said before we walked away. We went over to another game, and we saw Michael and Ashton there. We took our space behind them in line, and I snuck up on Michael.

"Boo!" I said tapping his shoulder. He jumped and turned around. He put his middle finger up at me.

"Fuck you, Luke! I could've died!" he shouted dramatically.

"Hi, Luke. Hi, Kate," Ashton said turning around. Kate waved and smile.

We were standing at a ring toss game. You had to get one of your rings around one of the many glass bottles that were set up.

"Hey, where's Cal?" I asked, realizing that he wasn't with the two.

"I don't know. He walked off earlier, but he didn't say where he was going. He and Ash have been in little arguments ever since we got here. I think he's just in a bad mood." Michael explained.

"Do you know what for?" I asked, my eyebrows knitting together.

"No. Sorry, mate," he replied, frowning.

I felt bad. Even though I had no idea what he would want to talk to me about, I could tell it was important enough for him to get upset about it. Yelling brought me out of my thought and back to reality.

I saw Ashton and Michael jumping up and down, yelling, and hugging each other.

"Oh my god! I can't believe this," Ashton
shouted.

"I'm so lucky! What is life?" Michael screamed. The guy behind the counter just looked at them like they were crazy. When they finally calmed down, he handed them each a box of Beats headphones.

I looked over at them and have a mental freak out. Beats? I then understood why they were acting like they'd never seen rain before.

"What just happened? I asked the both of them.

"We just won goddamn Beats!" Michael yelled.

"Hey, don't swear!" Ashton scolded him. He hit him on the shoulder, and Michael fake cried. They walked away to find something else to play, and it was our turn. We stepped up to the booth, and the guy behind it opened his mouth to speak.

"I'm Jeremy, and this is Bottled Ring Toss," he started pointing to the sign. "You'll get ten rings for five dollars. If you get one of your rings around the one of the general bottles, you'll get a one of the prizes on the back wall. If you get one of your rings around one of the golden bottles, there are five located sporadically, you'll get a pair of Beats headphones. You have to stand behind the line that perimeters the booth as well. Now, I'm not supposed to say this, but what happened with your friend earlier was crazy and rare because this game is nearly impossible to win." He said. With the last part, he leaned in so only we could here him.

I handed my money over, and Jeremy gave me ten rings in return. I gave five of them to Kate and kept five for myself. The golden bottles were all towards the middle, and there were five just like Jeremy had told us. I took my spot behind the line, as did Kate. I thought it would be fairly hard, so I tried to concentrate as best as I could.

I threw the first one, and it missed. Kate threw the first of hers after me. She also missed. We both tried again, and it resulted in both of us missing, again. After my third try, I still had no luck, but Kate managed to get hers around a normal bottle.

We kept going, and on our next try, we both got one. Kate got another regular, and I got a gold.

"Oh my god, yes!" I shouted. Kate ran over to me and gave me a hug. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her.

"Nice job, Breadstick," she said as soon as she came up from the hug.

"You're only calling me names because you're making up for your own slack. You just wish you had the skills that I have, babe. But, it's okay. Better luck next time," I replied smirking. She rolled her eyes and turned back to Jeremy.

"You both still have one ring. Would like like to continue or claim your prize?" He asked.

"Can we claim our prizes?" Kate questioned. Jeremy nodded. He then handed me a box of Beats, and asked Kate what two prizes she wanted.

"May I have the kiss with a heart emoji plush, please?" She asked politely. "And, I want the letter K plush," she added.

He grabbed them down, and handed them to her. I picked up our other prizes, and she gave me the ones she's just won. We walked off, with Kate walking slightly in front of me the entire time.

"Kate, can we go over to my car and put these down?" She nodded, so we went in the direction of where we parked. As soon as we got there, I asked the clerk if we were allowed to come back in after we put our stuff down.

"Yes. As long as you have on a wristband, you're fine."
.
.

Once we got to my car, I unlocked the trunk and put our prizes in. Kate was standing by the passenger's door, a frown etched onto her face. I walked over to where she was standing and I stood next to her.

"What's wrong?" I asked staring straight ahead.

"Nothing, I'm fine," she replied sighing.

"If you're fine, why are you sighing?" I questioned. I turned to look at her, but she was just staring off into space.

"I don't know. I guess I'm just thinking," she answered.

"About..."

"Calum, Us, my home life, Everything. I don't know," she said sighing again. I went to stand in front of her, and I grabbed her hands, interlocking her fingers between mine. I looked down at her, but her eyes were focused on her shuffling feet.

"Hey, look at me," I said softly. Her head shot up before we made eye contact. "Listen, babe. Whatever's bothering you, it'll be okay soon. I promise. Everything will clear up, so don't worry," I added.

I sealed my promise by dipping my head down and leaving a lingering kiss to her lips. She visibly relaxed, and when I broke the kiss and looked at her, she was smiling.

"Are you ready to go back in?" I asked. She nodded, and we walked back up to the kiosk. We showed the clerk our wristbands, and she let us through.

After playing more games and making at least two more trips to my car, I got a text from Ashton.

Ash
there's a magic show starting in five, you and Kate in?

Luke
We'll be there!

I told Kate about the show, and she seemed to be excited. We headed over to the performance tent, and we made it with a minute to spare. Outside waiting for us was Calum.

"Hey, Cal," Kate said grinning. She went in for a hug, and he pulled her into a tight embrace. He let go of her a second later, and it was my turn to greet him.

"Hi, Cal," I waved shyly, and he just smirked. Then he burst out into laughter. I was so confused.

"Hi, Luke. Shall we go in?" He asked after he calmed down. He was still smiling, and I was still more confused than ever.

We went in and sat down as soon as we found Michael and Ashton. They had a carton of popcorn and a bag of cotton candy. We all greeted each other and talked amongst ourselves before we quieted down when the show started.
.
.

After the magic show ended, we left to get on some rides. When we were done, we would leave the carnival for the night.

"What about that one?" Kate suggested pointing to a roller coaster. Reluctantly, everyone agreed. We all got in the line, which wasn't but two people long, and waited.

About three minutes later, when the session before us ended, we showed the guy at the gate our wristbands, and he let us through. The ride started, and all of us were screaming from the time it started until the time it stopped.

"Fuck this shit! I'm out!" Calum yelled as we went down a steep hill.

"There's nowhere for you to fucking go, Calum! Oh my god, I'm going to cry!" Michael screamed. We were speeding down a track and up a hill.

"Shut the hell up! Somebody help me!" I shouted as we came up to another drop.

"Oi! Don't fucking swear!" Ashton scolded as the cart tipped over, and we fell down another hill. Kate was just giggling the whole time. It was so hilarious.

We went on a loop, and she started calling for someone to help, but she was still doing something in between a laugh and a cry. Less than ten seconds later, the ride was over. We stopped, the employee unstrapped us all, and we walked away.

We found another ride, and it was just one that spun us around in little carts on chains. It was relaxing, so we all just enjoyed it. When that ended, we got on two more roller coasters before heading to our final ride of the night. The Ferris Wheel.

We made it just in time to fill that last two carts. Kate and I were a pair, and Michael, Ashton, and Calum sat together. The employee told us that it would last for thirty minutes, so when we got in our cart, Kate decided to rest her head on my shoulder.

"Are you tired, baby?" I asked. She mumbled a 'yes', and I nodded.

"Get a little rest while we're up here then. I'll be here when you get up," I told her. I kissed her forehead as I watched her drift off to sleep.

"M'kay."

All of a sudden I heard 'aw's' from above us. I looked up, and there were three teenage girls looking down at us from the cart above the one we were sat in.

I didn't pay them any attention really. I just wrapped my arms around Kate and enjoyed the rest of the ride.
.
.
.
When it was over, I woke Kate up, and we exited the platform. We waited for out other friends to come off by standing on the side. Some girls came up to us, and I recognized them as the one's aw-ing over me and Kate's exchange at the beginning of the ride.

"Excuse me," one of them said. Kate and I looked at them, waiting to hear what they were trying to tell us. "Right, we just wanted to say that you guys are literally relationship goals," she added smiling.

"Thanks, but we aren't in a relationship," Kate replied. The girl frowned.

"Really? You guys look like it," she responded.

"Oh," I said laughing. "We aren't. Sorry," I added just as Ashton, Calum, and Michael came off the platform.

"Bye!" They said waving as we walked off. Kate and I waved back before heading for the exit.

"Who were they?" Ashton asked.

"I don't know. They just came up and started talking to us while we were waiting for you guys," I answered.

"Oh, okay," he responded. The rest of the walk back to our cars was silent.
.
.
.
Once we'd made it to the parking lot, the clerk wished us a safe trip home, and we got in our cars. Calum and Ashton took Michael. I unlocked the doors to my car before going to say goodbye to my best friends.

I didn't get the chance to open Kate's car door for her because when I turned around, she was already in the car with her head against the window. I got in and started the engine, pulling off once the car was good to go.

"Did you have fun?" I asked.

"Yup."

"Are you tired?" I questioned.

"Yup."

"Do you want me to stop asking you questions now so you can sleep?" I asked giggling to myself.

"Yup."

"Okay," I said. After a few minutes, I asked her one more important question.

"Kate?"

"Yes..."

"My house or yours?"

"Yours because your bed is comfy, and I'm exhausted," she replied. I placed my hand on her thigh, and we drove to my house in near silence. There was just low music playing in the background.
