Jonas Part 78: Rolling Disaster

We all piled onto the coaster. The seating was two people per row. After battling Blair and Joe, Jordella won the front row. The seating looked like this:

FRONT OF THE COASTER
Jordella/Danny
Blair/Joe
Me/Tom
Nick J/Amanda
Charlie/Kat
Steph/Miles
Sam/Nick N
...and then some random fat tourists in tie-dye tees.
BACK OF THE COASTER

Shockingly, nobody threw up.
When we got off the coaster, Nick J looked terrified. Everyone assumed it was just his fear of roller coasters, but it seemed to me that he was more scared than that. I went over to him as soon as Amanda’s craving for cotton candy became too much.
“Nick, what’s wrong?” I asked.
He glanced at me, his eyes wide. “Charlie really wants Mandy doesn’t he?”
WHAAAA ? “Um, yeah. But she loves you.” I replied.
Nick just looked at me for a second. “I guess he figured a person is kinda hard to love if their dead..”
“WHAT?” I screamed.
“Shhh..” he pleaded, “He tried to push me off when we got in the loop.. but the force pushed him back.”
