Chapter 19
"I don't know about this, guys." Tim says nervously as Chris and Chance sit him in the seat of a roller coaster.
The roller coaster had six seats in each row. Rob having a major fear of flipping over decided to sit this ride out.
Chris quickly wipes everything down in Tim's seat with a sanitizing towel while the others grab a seat.
They were in this order. Chris in the end seat, Tim, Adam, Avi, Austin and then Chance.
A large padded shoulder harness was lowered down around their shoulders and securely snapped to a latch between their legs. Their legs dangling freely.
"Are you scared?" Adam asks with a shaky voice.
"Sh*tless." Tim replies quickly.
Tim looks around at Austin, meeting his frightened eyes.
"This was your idea." Tim speaking loudly over the noise, with a forced smile.
"I changed my mind." Austin answers with a nervous chuckle.
"It's going to be alright." Chris smiles. "Just don't start panicking on me."
"Don't they have a Merry-Go-Round?" Tim smiles as the buzzer sounds for the ride to start.
"Never again!!" Austin says as the ride comes to an end.
"I think you busted my eardrum from screaming." Chance laughs.
"Same here." Avi laughs. "But I had Austin screaming in one ear and Adam screaming in the other."
"I think I peed my pants." Adam laughs.
"You alright?" Chris laughs at Tim, his hair hanging in his face.
"Yeah, I think so but you're going to have to prise my hands off this harness." Tim says as he tries to blow the hair out of his face.
The attendant brings Tim's wheelchair over to them as they lift him up and sits him down in it.
Rob was laughing hysterically at them as they came down the ramp.
"It wasn't funny, Rob." Austin pouts. "I swear I saw my life passed before my eyes."
"Can we take a small break?" Tim asks. "I need time for my stomach to stop flipping around."
"I hear ya." Austin agrees.
"How are you feeling?" Avi chuckles as he takes Adam by the hand and kisses the back of it.
"I'm alright now that my feet are back on the ground." Adam smiles.
They had gotten something cool to drink and had found a nice shady place to rest. Chris reaches into a pocket on Tim's chair and pulls out a pill box.
"Candy time." Chris says with a smile as he hands out their medication.
"Yay." Tim says sarcastically as he takes his pills and throws them all into his mouth washing them down with the lemonade that he had.
"They don't help so I don't know why we have to take them." Adam complains as he swallows his one at a time.
"Doctor's orders." Chance smiles.
Avi turns his attention to Austin to see if he would take his medication.
"Will these make us sick if we ride anything?" Austin asks, still holding his pills in his hand.
"They shouldn't." Chris answers. "But we'll just walk around for a while until they get into your system."
"You know this is going to spoil our fun." Austin says as he looks sadly at the pills in his hand.
"How's that?" Avi asks.
"Well, for one, they don't help Adam at all. He still sees things. And the pills drugs me and Tim up." Austin says.
"Drug you up?" Avi asks curiously.
"They're to help with Tim's anxiety attacks and Austin is over hyperactive." Chris tries to explain to Avi.
"No, Austin's right." Tim says as he takes a drink of his drink. "The pills kinda spaces us out."
"Why haven't you guys told us this?" Rob asks, his voice full of concern.
"Would you have listened?" Tim asks with a raised brow. "The wacko doctor prescribed them and said to take them. So, we have to take them. We're spaced out for several hours, which makes us quieter and y'all think the pills were working.
"So the pills are just making you high, in other words." Avi says.
"Technically speaking, yeah." Tim answers with a shrug.
Austin nods in agreement.
Chris reaches and takes the pills from Austin.
"I'm going to try something. More or less, an experiment." Chris says, putting Austin's pills back inside the pill box.
"So you're using me and Austin as guinea pigs?" Tim asks, looking up at his boyfriend.
"Technically speaking, yeah." Chris smiles as he places a kiss on Tim's forehead.
"Oh, you're so thoughtful." Tim smirks.
Avi sighs, maybe he wasn't imagining Austin not taking his medicine. Maybe this was the very reason he wasn't.
They headed back into the park. Chris, Rob, Chance and Avi were watching the other three closely.
Austin was still excited about riding rides and seeing the sights. Adam was still seeing things. He would whisper to Avi the things he would see. Tim seemed to have lost all interest in the park. The excitement that he had was gone. He had gotten very quiet.
Chris felt so bad. He felt like he had ruined the whole day for Tim.
"Hey, Baby. What would you like to ride?" Chris asks as he stooped down next to Tim's chair.
"I...I don't want to ride any more rides, Chris." Tim says, his eyes looking very droopy. "But y'all go ride. Please"
"Honey, I'm not riding anything without you. We're on a date, remember?" Chris smiles as he rubs Tim's cheek.
"I don't wa.... I don't want to spoil no one else's fun." Tim whisper's to Chris. "But I just.... I just don't feel like riding anything."
"See, Chris. That's what those pills does to us." Austin says.
"Adam? How are you feeling? Have you been seeing anything?" Chris asks.
"Yeah." Adam sighs and hangs his head. "Like right now, there's a fog around Tim."
"What goes that mean, Sweetie?" Avi asks.
"Maybe, his mind isn't clear." Adam says with a shrug. "I'm not really sure."
"Oh, God." Chris says softly taking Tim by the hand. "Baby, I am so sorry. If I had known, I would have never given you those pills."
"Chris, I'm alright. Just please go enjoy yourselves." Tim begs. "Avi, Chance? Will y'all please take Adam and Austin and let them ride some rides. They don't get to do this very often."
"I tell ya what." Rob says stepping forward. "There's a show right over here, it's dolphins or killer whales or something doing tricks. Chris, why don't we take Tim over there to watch that. And the rest of y'all can go ride the rides."
"You want to do that?" Chris asks.
"Yeah, that sounds alright. I just don't want to ride any more rides. It's just too hard." Tim says.
"Well, what do y'all say?" Chance says, draping an arm around Austin's shoulder. "Y'all ready to go hit the rides?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Avi smiles.
Austin and Adam nod but look sadly down at Tim.
They both lean down and give Tim a hug.
"Y'all go have fun." Tim whispers so that only they can hear as he hugs them both. "We'll soon have to go back to prison."
