45 "No, I'm killing men."

Tom's point of view
I ran after Sam. She was standing in the middle of the tracks. At the furthest point away from the finish line, not moving.

"Sam! You alright?"

I walk up to her and see what she's been fearing.

The skyline is crashed at the crash barrier. The air bag didn't work.

All I could see were black hair streaks hanging out the window.

I swallow and start walking towards the car.

The bedazzled steering wheel... It is Lilith's skyline.

"Sunflower? You okay?"

"I'm good."

The biggest dent is in the sheet metal of the drivers seat.

I wiggle the door handle but it won't open.

"Sunflower the door won't open..."

She raises her arms out the window. "Pull me out."

I lean in and grab her by her waist. "Sam help me please."

Sam helps me with her. She grabs her legs and helps me pull her out.

Sam puts her on her legs and I let her go too.
Lilith swayed back and forth before she nearly fell.

I put my arm around her to support her.

Lilith tries to look at her car but I stop her. I put my hand on her cheek and pull her face towards me.

„Don't look." I say softly and start walking with her.
"Is it that bad?" She asks sadly.

"Nothing Logan can't fix."

Hopefully.

Logan is still arguing with the other racer. "Lilith! Are you okay?" He sighs relieved. "I'm good." She says weakly.

I spotted my brother looking at me, but Lilith is more important now.

"Tom? Who's that dude starring at us?"

I chuckle, "you've met him already."
I bring her over to my car and open the door from the backseat, for her to sit down.

"Really? I don't remember him..."

"It's my brother-"

"Tom!"

For fucks sake Bill.

"Why are you hanging out with her?" He asks with a interested tone, "she's dangerous."

"She's not."

"If you say so."

I grab his wrist and pull him a few steps back.

"Stop being so bitchy Bill!"

"I'm not being bitchy! I just don't want you to get hurt by someone like her!" He says loud enough for Lilith to hear.

I roll my eyes at his behavior. "You're being childish Bill. I'm an adult, I can take care of myself."

"Besides if you would care for me, you'd try to be nice or even get to know her! I don't know."

"Get to know her? Tom you're insane! She kills people!"

"No, I'm killing men." She smiles.

"Not the best time, sunflower."

"Sunflower? Tom you need therapy."

"You don't want me to be happy?"

"Of course I do! But not with gang leader Lilith."

"You know nothing about me." She says firmly and stands up.

"Sit down."

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"Sit!"

"I'm no dog."

"Lilith-"

She sat back down, smiling pleased. I roll my eyes and turn back to my brother.

"Tom, if you're happy with... her," he pronounced her really disgusted, "than I'm happy for you."
