Could You Love Me Just A Little Bit More

Thirty Seven

We didn't do a lot through the day. Jack had found the beach with an amusements park and arcades so we opted to stay there, though Kellin had whined we'd walked past a park he really wanted to go in, but Ella wouldn't allow it. She wanted everyone to stay together and enjoy our first day out with each other.

They were occasionally stopped by fans wanting pictures taken or limbs and pieces of paper signed but they were all happy enough to stop and do that. They aimed to please and please they did. One young girl burst into tears in front of Kellin and he hugged her to try and make her stop. He told her she didn't need to cry and that he was just your average person she could say hello to, but we all knew they were anything but average. They were these kids' hero's, they rendered people speechless!

I couldn't help but smile as he comforted her, but a pang of jealousy shot through me as I watched. I wanted him to hug me like that and tell me everything was OK, but I wasn't like one of his fans. He'd fallen for me and had been hurt by me, he couldn't just tell me everything would be OK.

I walked away from them and made my way over to a arm wrestle machine. A long robotic arm was sticking out of the front of the machine that was attached a cartoon drawing of a man on the back of it. It was about time I started to perk up so I pulled out my change and turned to face Justin. The crowd of fans were dispersing so I took my chance to call him over.

He sauntered over to me, a smirk on his face. 'You really think you're going to win this, Darcy?' He questioned.

'No, but I can always try.' I grinned back. 'So, you in?' I asked him. I didn't want to believe the boys were gonna win over the girls again, but I couldn't help but think we were extra weak against them.

'Guys, over here.' Justin called and whistled to catch their attention. Everyone walked over to where we were stood, a little confused as to what we were doing. 'Darcy here thinks she can win at this game, anyone want to prove her wrong with me?' Justin asked and grins grew on all of their faces.

'I'm so in.' Jesse beamed with delight.

'Me too.' Jack grinned, flexing his muscles.

'Annabell, Ella, can you help me?' I asked, giving them a smile to persuade them.

'Of course, anything to try and beat them.' Ella replied, rolling up her sleeves. Annabell agreed also, but not quite confident she was going to win.

'Kellin, Gabe, what about you two? Who wants to help the girls, and wants to help the winners?' Justin asked them, being ever so cocky about it.

'Kellin has puny arms so he can be a girl.' Gabe quickly chirped and dashed to the side Justin, Jack and Jesse were stood on.

'I'll show you puny when we win.' Kellin called back, getting into the game I'd chosen. I couldn't help but feel happy that he was willing to stand with me, that was a huge step from the way we had been around each other.

'Who goes first?' I asked no one in particular. Everyone looked between each other then all eyes landed on me.

'Since it was your idea, you go first.' Justin grinned and inserted a coin into the slot. The machine started up and I took my stance, ready to be beaten within two seconds.
