PROLOGUE
—————————————————————————
there are no goodbyes for us, wherever you are you will always be in my heart. even if i couldn't stand by you.
Ashley never once thought she would end up being a cop, especially considering how she reacted to finding out brian was one. she vividly remembered punching him in the face for that, she remembered the betrayal she felt.
yet now here she was not just an a police officer but a detective. in chicagos best unit. far away from her old family in LA and living life in a completely different way she thought she would, in a way her old self would be disgusted by.
although things were good, she still had the thrill she loved so much just without some of her favourite people, the racing and the cars but that was okay, she had gotten used to it, gotten used to the people she surrounded herself, those people having become her family.
yet despite how good things seemed she missed it all, she craved the life she once had... but she was no longer a criminal, she had a normal life, a domestic life compared to how she used to live back in LA. she never imagined things would turn out this way for her but in some strange way she didn't regret leaving.
Ashley missed them, not a day went by that she didn't think about her family. the past 6 years had been a constant battle in her mind. The 'what if's' plagued her mind like salt in the sea consuming almost every thought from the second she woke up until the second she went back to sleep.
she'd completely lost contact with her old family, not having any idea if they were okay, or what was going on with them and that fact pained her. despite the fact she never let it show, she tried desperately to forget, pretend nothing happened but it wasn't as much of a fool proof plan as she had once thought.
you can try and outrun your past, but you'll never be fast enough.
she tried focusing on doing the right thing now, saving people, helping chicago. hobbs cleared her name, he set her up for this job. she'd do what she could for people who needed it, they were her priorities, at least that's what she told herself.
overall things were great in chicago, apart from how poor the street racing scene was. the times she'd gone out to watch the racing she'd been appalled by what she'd seen, of course she couldn't expect any of the racers in chicago to be as good as the people she used to know, to be as good as her. but she still expected better.
she never let that stop the joy she found from cars though. she didn't need to watch the racing, she didn't need to race. she had other ways of staying in touch with that side of her, Even if it was in secret.
