"come on, it'll be fun" Dallas begs flopping onto my bed running my hand through my hair I sigh "it's not really my thing" I explain in hopes of her giving up "just this once, please" she pleads shoving her bottom lip out and quivering it "okay, fine I'll go" I lay beside her before she jumps up letting out a shriek before running into my closet.
pulling open my closet doors she starts throwing clothes everywhere making my room messy-er, "what the fuck?" I exclaim before chasing around the clothes she throwing and putting them into a nice pile on the floor "what are you doing" I ask "looking for your outfit duh" she says like it's the most obvious thing in the world, for all I know she could have been looking for my coke.
just kidding I don't do coke, it would be cool if I did though.
"Here try this" she pulls out a pair of jeans and a white cropped shirt "Uhm are you sure?" I ask holding you the small shirt she nods quickly as I shake my head unsure.
"girl yes you would look so hot," she says before shoving me into the bathroom.
Letting out a sigh I start undressing and accidentally trip making me fall into the counter letting out a hiss of pain after the countertop connected with my bruised stomach.

after getting dressed I find myself staring at my reflection, picking out every flaw, everything that's wrong with me until a burning sensation fills my eyes. "Are you done yet" Dallas groans knocking on the door making sure you can't see my bruise I tear my eyes away from the mirror and give myself a reassuring smile "yeah" I sigh swinging the door open.
Walking out of the bathroom I grab my keys and walk to the garage with Dallas closely behind me babbling on about something. walking into the garage Dallas gasp causing me to turn back thinking she's in the process of getting murdered "that's YOUR car?!" She asks running to it running her hand along the side "yeah it's pretty hot huh?" I smirk getting in the driver's seat.
it took me a long time to drive after Anthony's death, driving wasn't the part that scared me. However Anthony not being there did. I was scared to be sitting in the drivers seat and not hear him criticizing my driving or him screaming along to a Taylor swift song.
before Anthony I didn't understand when people say "I still can't believe their gone" but still I find myself walking into his room only to find nothing but memories and a black hole reforms in my heart leaving behind a heavy sting.
I used to talk to the moon telling it everything I would normally tell Anthony. sometimes I pretended it's him, I can't do that anymore though. I'm forgetting every little part of him like his laugh,voice, the light that would feel his eyes when his smile reached them.
Driving down the road I realize Dallas never gave me the damn address or any form of directions "in your free time could you give me directions?" I ask looking towards her then back to the road "oh yeah, once you get to that stop sign make two rights and we'll be there" she says talking with her hands I nod acting like I understood that. _
After several missed turns and running red lights we finally pull into a very long and wide road.
shit. shit. shit.
This is not happening. I've only seen roads like this when- "racers please pull your cars to the line and get ready" the announcer says from a table in the distance talking into an intercom I assume. I feel my breathing starting to pick up and my chest tighten Dallas grabbing my hand and dragging me through a group of people stopping when where a safe enough distance from three cars that are lined up evenly.
When Anthony told me about his races for the first time I begged him to stop I knew it was going to kill him. I was a little wrong but since I'm always right he did end up dying because he was speeding.
I begged for months trying to get him to stop, when he took me to one of his races I fell in love with the adrenaline it gave me,He saw how my face lit up and the smile that never faded from my lips. He started teaching me how to race of course he never really let me participate in a real one but me and him would race on back roads every Friday night, of course, I was screaming either out of pure joy or pure fear either way it was the best time of my life.
The cars loud exhaust ripping me out of my thoughts,I look at the closest car and see Enzo getting in already looking at me.
I think I would actually have a make out sesh with his car
Looking away I see Dallas is no where to be fucking found
Letting out a groan I go pushing through sweaty and cheering people looking for Dallas as the race begins after a loud air horn rings in my ears.
Going around the groups looking for a tall blonde I bump into someone quickly apologizing tell he cuts me off "hey your Dallas's new friend, right I think I've seen you around school" he asks "Amara, do you know where she went?" I give a firm smile still looking around for her "she might be hooking up with zack, I'm Grayson her stepbrother" he says walking me back to the front "really? I thought you were one of her hookups" I look up to him "I'm gay love" he replies laughing while my jaw drops to the floor "really?! you don't look gay" I say slapping my hand over my mouth "sorry if that was offensive" I quickly apologize as two cars pull up to the finish line. A tie. Grayson quickly shrugs and laughs it off.
"a tie! well that's the first for Enzo Black. Sense neither of you guys won, your going to have to pick someone. Dawson your girlfriend Leah will be racing for you. And Enzo... I guess you get to pick..?" The announcer shouts into the mic I meet Ezra's gaze along witha smirk and my stomach drops. He whispers something into the ear of the announcer and points to me. "Enzo Black has chosen Amara smith" the crowd claps as my face drops in shock I look over to Grayson with a worried look on his face, going to get something out he gets cut off by Dallas runs over with a huge smile on her face, bumping into him.
"Go" Dallas laughs pushing me out of the crowd onto the road.
