Nineteen

"Stop! Just. Stop." Billie shouted before she walked angrily out of the house.
     Aliza took a deep breath and tried to contain the tears that fought to get out.
    Instead of crying she went into the garage and finished her car.
    She carefully secured everything under the hood and started the car.
    She took a long, deep breath and cried to herself after shutting the car off. She slammed her hands in the steering wheel and cried even harder.
   "Get in the house Aliza." Billie said while drawing her gun from her holster.
     "Go.. Now!"
Aliza wiped her eyes and ran into the house, slamming the door behind her.
    She ran into the bedroom and continued crying until Billie came inside.
    "Stop crying. Look at me." Billie said, her tone still slightly frustrated.
   "I'm sorry." Aliza wiped her eyes and hid her face from Billie but she clicked her tongue.
    "Don't cry, don't apologize, don't even speak. Just shhh." Billie sat in the bed with her gun on her lap and hugged Aliza.
    "I told you I didn't want you out when I wasn't around didn't I?"
   Aliza only nodded.
"Are you still angry with me?" Aliza asked, her voice breaking.
    "No... no baby I'm not angry with you. I just had a bad day." Billie cooed while playing with Aliza's hair.
    "Take a deep breath and stop that crying." Billie demanded calmly.
"Someone's at the door love. Go get changed just in case." Billie rubbed Aliza's back and kissed her head before getting up to go check the main entrance.
"Heyyy Billie." Finneas smiled while walking in.
"Hey Finneas I thought you were still in Cali? What happened?" Billie asked while inviting him in.
"I had to stop by. I heard what happened to Aliza a few weeks ago and just couldn't get a week off of work any sooner so I'm here now to check up on you guys." He spoke while sitting at the island in the kitchen.
"She's okay, healing up well." Billie awkwardly spoke.
"Billie? Who was at the d- hi Finneas." Aliza gave a small smile while walking into the kitchen.
"Hi Aliza." He greeted her and Aliza sat down with a bottle of water between her hands.
"Go start up your car. Make sure it's running right." Billie winked at Aliza and kissed her cheek before the girl trotted out to the garage.
"Nuh uh Aliza get back here."
Aliza walked backwards and exhaled sharply.
"Go get your gun. Keep it at an arms distance from you while you're working." Billie instructed.
Aliza sighed and ran up to the bedroom and snatched her gun off of the nightstand before running back downstairs, hitting a sharp right and making it to the garage.
She slid on her working shoes and began fiddling with the car while Billie was inside talking to her older brother.
"You are so lucky you didn't mention anything to her Finneas. The last thing I need is something so big getting spoiled for her. You know the girl has never had a real surprise until I came into her life right?" Billie breathily spoke, her voice getting quieter when she heard the engine of the car shut off.
"Okay shh." Billie said as she heard the happy pitter-patters of Aliza's feet against the floor.
"Take off your shoes." Billie always had to remind the girl what to do when she was overly excited.
Aliza kicked off her shoes at the door and ran up to Billie, her heart racing.
"No more leak. Can I race it tonight? Can I?" Aliza asked, jumping up and down in excitement.
"Maybe. We have to get your flameproof suit, helmet and gloves. Go get ready and Finneas will come along." Billie cleared her throat, making Finneas snap his head toward his younger sister.
Aliza didn't say another word. She ran upstairs and tossed clothing out of the closet onto the bed, trying to figure out what to wear.
She finally found a pair of Billie's cargo pants and Billie's white tshirt and ran downstairs.
"I told you not to wear my clothes out. You're swimming in them." Billie groaned while grabbing her keys.
"Yeah but. You're the one who calls me Minnie. Don't complain now." Aliza giggled while running out the door.
She climbed in the backseat but Billie quickly disapproved.
"Get your keys and follow behind. Don't drive like you're on a track either."
Soon enough they were at the shop for the body suit and gear.
Aliza ran around the store, hoping to find a completely black suit but they were sold out in her size.
"What's your other favorite color? Maybe we can find something." Billie asked while flipping through the racks.
"I guess pink." Aliza quietly said while watching Billie search.
Billie snatched a black and pink suit off of the rack and held it up to Aliza.
"I'm guessing you'll have to get the helmet and gloves to match huh?" Billie chuckled and Aliza nodded, a smile finally finding itself onto her face.
And now it's after midnight.
They were now on a wide road that was blocked off for illegal street racing.
"Go on. Walk up to the man who drives the integera and challenge him to a friendly race." Billie said while holding Aliza by her shoulders.
Aliza nodded and removed the helmet before she confidently walked up to the Hispanic guy driving the white integera type r.
"Hey. Wanna go for a friendly race?" Aliza asked in a sweet voice making the man laugh is soul out.
"I'm serious dude. Race me. Mk4, 2jz, twin turbo, running on injectors and a hondata ecu. 5 gallons of e85." Aliza held her hand out and the guy scoffed.
"When I beat you little girl, don't cry." He spat, getting into his car.
Billie sat up on her hood, watching Aliza get into her car and start it up, hearing the engine roar angrily.
"She is so going to dust him." Finneas laughed while leaning on Billie's car.
Aliza pulled up next to the integra, revving her motor, clearly intimidating the man inside.
And 3... 2... 1...
Aliza instantly took the lead, not even introducing nitrous oxide on this run.
She shifted the car into third gear and floored the accelerator to the ground, leaving the Honda in the dust.
"Yo that girl knows exactly what she's doing." A group of men said while walking up to Aliza's car after the race.
She jumped out of the car, completely ignoring the crowd around her.
Aliza tossed the helmet off of her head and landed it on her driver seat and sprinted to Billie with the biggest smile on her face.
"I told you not to be nervous Minnie. You completely dusted him." Billie pecked Aliza's lips and watched her smile and trot back to her car.
"Wanna bet money now? No NOS included?"
The man asked and Aliza giggled.
"I didn't use Nitrous Oxide. But sure. How much?"
"5 grand. even. Cash." He slammed the stack of cash on Aliza's hood and chuckled.
"Kiss it goodbye." He snarled, making Aliza shiver in sorrow for his poor v8 single turbo car.
She put her helmet back on and started the car once again, noticing she was low on e85 so this would be her last race of the night.
She revved her engine, allowing quedo (which means male whore) to get a head start.
But she overtook the first place spot and ended the race with a burnout.
Billie began waving her arms as they both agreed that Aliza was going to be as careful as she could on the road tonight.
Now it's time for Aliza to collect her cash.
"Hand it over Quedo." She giggled with her hand out. He scoffed and roughly tossed the stack of money at Aliza.
She adjusted the gun in her holster and got back in the car, beeping her horn to let Billie know she was ready to go.
