I really don't mind, what happens now and then.
As long as you'll be my friend at the end.

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well will you be there, holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might.

No eyesight is needed to tell this story.
"Oh but its scaaaary," I mimicked.
"That was the worst imitation of my voice. Ever." Jagger replied, rolling his eyes.
We were at Tokyo Terror, the newest amusement park in Trokayl. It was the grand opening, and we decided to have a blast, by daring each other to go the insane roller coasters. Tokyo Terror was full of them. So far, I went on the Back Biter, Mino's Labyrinth, Napalm Strike, and Charging. Jagger chickened out on every 'coaster I gave him. And they weren't even that scary.
"Come on," I coaxed, "How about I go on Ghosthorse with you?"
Ghosthorse was supposed to be the largest and most thrilling ride at the park. It had a straight incline of 314 feet and a straight decline of 321 feet. It had loops, twirls, dives, and even went underground. The coolest part was that you were held back by only leather strap. Dangerous, yes, but danger was also my middle name. Ok, I lied its Darron but that doesn't matter.
Jagger hesitated for a moment. He looked at the screaming people on Ghosthorse, perfectly safe.
"Come on Jag, Tokyo Terror inspects their rides every day to ensure public safety," I said persuasively.
I sure that he was about to say no, but after a moment of hesitation, he said,
"Okay."

"We're next in li-ine, we're next in li-ine," I sang, punching his back playfully as we moved slowly forward.
Jag didn't look as happy as I was about the ride. He was very still, sometimes I could mistake him for a statue. His eyes, were like a deer's caught in headlights. Not happy at all. I felt bad for him, I pushed him into doing it.
"You know, you can always just exit if you don't want to," I finally said just as the cart rolled in.
I didn't mean for it to sound at all like it was some sort of taunt, but he took it like one.
"No," he replied grimly, "not this ride."
I shrugged, and watched the others exit the ride, trying to get rid of the awkwardness in the air. A lot of them seemed scared out of their wits. The speakers beeped twice, and the gate opened, and we got into the first car.
"Can we switch cars?" Jagger whispered.
I looked back. All the seats were taken.
"Sorry pal, all of them are f-u-l-l. Full."
I heard him make a small animal noise, almost whimpering. If I knew Jagger as well as I thought I did, I knew he could sense trouble. And boy, did I not know half of it.
"Welcome to Tokyo Terror's one and only Ghosthorse! Today you will be experiencing the thrill of your life. If you have any loose belongings, please hand them to your instructor immediately. Please keep your hands, and feet inside your car, and have a great time!"
The speaker shut off, and the countdown began.
3...2...1
Then, echoing sounds of neighing and hooves clattering on metal boomed around us, and the car swooshed forward. We dropped into an underground cave, where the cars spiraled around in the hole. My head was spinning, like I was on a merry-go-round at 100 mph. I could see Jagger screaming, but his cries were drowned out by psychotic laughs.
The car stormed out of the hole, and we started looping, which made me even dizzier. The rails were extremely bumpy, distorting my vision even farther, and giving me a minor headache. My sight was now cross-eyed everything seemed to be going in a blur. I took my eyes off of the amazing blurry scenery to check on Jag. Even through hazy eyes I could tell I put him through Hell. His eyes were closed, and he was clutching the strap for dear life.
The looping and swirling finally ended and our cart was now going up a straight incline, at least 50 mph. We were now flat on our backs, and I was still laughing like an idiot. My eyesight was now horribly distorted, everything was swirling around me. Suddenly as I felt our car curving at the top the ride jolted to a quick stop. I grabbed onto my seat. I heard something snap, but I wasn't sure what until after the disaster. The last thing I remember was the sound of fainting screaming. After that most was a blur.
Not only had I lost my eyesight permanently, I also lost my best friend... permanently.
