Standing Close To The Edge(Finished) by Danielle Palmer (best summer reads txt) 📖

stupid smirk on his face. I shrugged and laughed. “It was kinda funny huh?” He full on laughed again cause me to laugh to. “Very.” I shook my head at him but still smiled. We continued walking around until I saw Liam and Danielle standing in a line. They were waiting in the line for a ride that looked like a huge claw. It held four seats on each hook and swung back and forth. I grabbed Harry's arm and pulled me towards them. “Hey guys. Mind if we join?” I asked. “Course not love.” Liam said smiling at me. When it was our turn we climbed on the ride showing the person our wristbands and found seats. Me and Danielle sat in the middle with Harry sitting next to me and Liam next to Danielle.
The ride was fun until you get to the very top and your staring straight ahead at the floor where everyone looked like ants. Me and Danielle would scream every time we got to the top. After that ride we met up with everyone else and ate. We all shared some nachos and each got soft pretzels with cheese. None of us wanted to get on rides right after we had ate so we stayed in a group playing games. Every time Liam won a stuff animal he gave it to Danielle. I lost every game I tried. There was one game that had a little stuffed Otter that I wanted. All I had to do was shoot a basketball in a hoop which was basically impossible for me. After 5 tries I gave up and walked away with everyone following.
“Attention the fair will be closing in 15 minutes! I repeat the fair will be closing in 15 minutes! Thank you!” We only had time for one more ride so we had to choose quickly. I didn't know they closed so early. The sun was just setting. Liam grabbed Danielle and pulled her one way while Harry, Louis, and Niall went the other. Did they seriously just leave me with Zayn? “What do you want to ride?” He asked shoving his hands in his pocket. He looked as nervous and uncomfortable as me. “We could go on the Ferris Wheel?” He nodded and started towards it. I walked a little behind him till we got to the line. We were the only people in line so we got put on quickly. My heart rate picked up the higher we got. This wasn't a good idea.
“Are you afraid of heights to?” I asked to afraid to looked down so I looked towards the sun set. “Yeah.” His voice was raspy and he wouldn't look down either. We got to the top finally and completely stopped. I looked at Zayn wide eyed and he did the same. I instantly scooted over and he put his arm around me pulling me closer. Being in his arms made me feel immediately safe and my breathing calmed. “Adrian?” He said my name hesitantly which made me nerves. “Yes?” I whispered. “I- I really like you. Forget it I can't lie to you. I love you Moe and I understand if you don't love me back.” Tears sprang to my eyes as I slowly turned to face him. “You do?” I whispered. He nodded and pulled something out of his jacket. I gasp and pulled him in for a hug. He had won me the otter!
“I love you to and not just cause you won me this.” His smile grew wider and he pulled me to him crashing our lips together. This time I was actually able to enjoy it but he turned away to soon. I pouted which made him smile and peck my lips again. “I never really liked Perrie. I didn't think you liked me so I needed a distraction.” I rolled my eyes but the smiled never left my face. “I guess that's good to know.” He pulled me into him and kissed me again.
I felt the cart we were in started to move again. I didn't understand why we sat for so long at the time but it was worth it. Zayn took all my attention off my fear of heights. We pulled apart once we reached the bottom. The guy let us out and Zayn instantly grabbed my hand helping me up. His hand fit perfectly in mine. “We're meeting them at the car.” He said as we walked out the gate. I nodded and walked towards the car with him. We climbed in the car and sat next to each other while everyone stared at our hand that were still connected.
“Something you guys want to tell us?” Danielle asked smiling. Zayn looked at me and I shrugged. “We're together.” Danielle squealed making everyone laugh. “It's about damn time.” Harry said shaking his head. He smiled and hugged me since he was next to me. He did the brotherly hug thing to Zayn. Well, the best they could sitting down. Everyone went back to there talking but I couldn't stop looking at Zayn. He looked back at me and smiled before kissing me. It wasn't full on snogging cause we were in car full of people. It was just quick peck. When we finally got back to the hotel everyone went their separate ways. Some living room others kitchen and me to bed. I quickly changed into black pajama shorts and a gray long sleeve shirt.
As soon as I plopped down on my bed there was a knock on my door. “Come in!” I yelled and only a second later the door opened revealing Zayn. On instinct, I pulled down my sleeves to my fingers and held them in place. “Just wanted to say good night babe.” I smiled and hugged him. He had asked me if I wanted to share a room but I told him I wasn't ready. He didn't understand but didn't push it either. I couldn't tell him that almost every night I wake up sweating because I was dreaming about my past. The same nightmare I've been having since being kidnapped. At least not until I felt like I should tell him and of course I would have to soon.
“Night babe.” We kissed good night and he slowly walked out the door. Right before the door closed he opened it again, smiling brightly. “Love you.” I giggled and smiled back. “Love you to.” He smiled again before shutting the door and retreating to his room across from me. I sighed, laying back on my pillows. I really felt bad about not letting him sleep in here I just had to trust him first. I know it's stupid. Who wouldn't trust him right? Well try going through what I went through and tell me you wouldn't mind sleeping in a bed with a guy. If everything was out in the open I would be so much better. Harry had told all the other guys what I told him that night but I wasn't mad at him. I was just happy he didn't tell Zayn. I don't think I ever want him to know but I can't just keep it from him. He's my boyfriend after all.

The next morning I woke up at 7 o'clock sweating. My nightmare was still the same one. He would always say “You are mine and if I can't have you. No one will.” and stab me in my heart. I clutched my heart as I cooled down my breathing. I was scared to go back to sleep so I got in the shower instead. When I got out I dressed in light skinny jeans, a black tank top and a purple long sleeve cardigan. I blow dried my hair and curled it, flipping my bags back. My eyeliner and mascara only took me 10 minutes. I decided to wear my purple vans and the purple hat Zayn had given me.
When I was finished getting ready I packed all my stuff. I was sad to be leaving the hotel but excited to get on the road again. Deciding to be nice, I called room services and order everyone breakfast. I would have made it but all the food was gone. Literally everything in the fridge was gone. I sat in the living room and turned on the TV. Not even 20 minutes later the food showed up. I put every ones food in the spots they sat at. I grabbed my water and fruit bowl and sat on the couch.
“Why are you up so early?” I jumped and stiffened a scream. “Sorry didn't mean to scare you.” I turned around and smiled still shaken. “It's cool Liam. I couldn't sleep.” He nodded his head and turned towards the dinning room area. “You got food?” I nodded and turned back to the TV. He grabbed him food and sat on the couch next to me. “What are you watching?” I shrugged my shoulders and started changing the channel. I changed the channel and guess what? Toy Story was on. Liam's favorite movie. He did a little happy dance making me laugh. During the movie everyone one by one woke up. We all ate our breakfast and then they went up to get ready.
By the time everyone was ready and they stuff was down stairs Paul was at our door. He took the guys so they could go get ready for there concert. It was early than most of them so they were going to be gone the whole day until the concert. “I'll miss you babe. Love you.” Zayn quickly pecked my lips before being pulled out the room by the guys. “Love and miss you to.” I yelled down the hall. He turned and smiled blowing me and kiss before climbing into the elevator. A bell man came with a cart and got all our luggage and took it down to the tour bus.
“So what are we going to do?” I asked sitting on the couch by Danielle. She shrugged and put her thinking face on. I did the same but nothing came to mind. “Let's go get new outfits for tonight!” She squealed and pulled me up from the couch. We both grabbed our purse, walked out the door and down to the elevator. We decided to walk around on the streets for awhile trying to find a store we hadn't been to. After awhile we found a store that was full of dresses, dressy shirts, and skirts. Everything was to dressy and looked like it was meant for a business interview. “Let's just go back to the mall. We might find a store we didn't go to.” She sigh but nodded and followed me out the store.
It only took us ten minutes to get to the mall and only 5 to find a store we hadn't been to. We decided to go our separate meet at the dressing room. I walked around for a little bit before I found the perfect outfit. White tank top that has layers of ruffles on the front, black leather jacket, and teal fitted skinny jeans. I grabbed a size 6 black heels and teal head band. I headed to the dressing room and found Danielle. “Don't let me see. Try it on first!” I nodded and went to the stall right next to her quickly undressing and pulling on my new outfit.
“1...2...3” I opened my stall right when hers open. I gasped and smiled at her outfit. She was wearing a white and black plaid shirt with a black vest, red skinny jeans, and black heels. “You look amazing.” We said at the same time. I laughed and hugged her before walking back into the stall and changing back. Neither of our outfits were a lot and Danielle insisted on buying
