It's been 2 months! Guys I'm so sorry about this so after this book I might take a break on uploading my other stories just to get my writing in check, it sound like a good idea, don't you think?

I love you all, hope the feeling is still mutual even if it is just a love/hate relationship :D

Enjoy xo

It was relaxing and peaceful to be sitting in my car, alone. But the silence was slowly killing me. When I stopped at a traffic light, I quickly took my phone out and turned Bluetooth on so I could connect it to the car. Bluetooth now connected.

The lights changed to green so I quickly shuffled the music playlist instead of choosing a song before I stepped on the accelerator. I turned the music up to Fashion Killa and checked the time. Apparently it was 5:02 here in the breezy Sienna and Jake was right when he said we would be driving in the dark. It was slightly dark but I decided not to put my headlights on yet. For the past ten minutes, I had successfully been able to stick in front of Kyle probably because I had the traffic as an advantage. I had no clue where Austin was- I looked at the map on the screen and realised I was in front of everyone.

"Well that's a first" I mumbled to myself.

My whole car started ringing which caused my heart to jump almost out of my chest. It was louder than my actual music had been. I quickly looked at the screen and once I saw it was Austin, answered.

"Hey princess" His voice was weirdly sooth and calming but at the same time made my heart leap and stomach flutter.

"Are you trying to make me crash?" I sighed.

He laughed quietly. "Not at all"

"Well how are you feeling?" I asked.

For a moment he was silent and I questioned whether or not he hung up on me. I wouldn't of been mad, I would've understood. "I'm all right, as much as I hate to admit it but I'm jumpy and I keep getting flash backs"

"Oh yeah I get that, I guess you're not that tough guy you say you are anymore hey?" I tried lighting up the mood.

"Nah nah! I can still kick a guys ass" He laughed and I could just imagine the smirk on his face as he said it. "Look out your right window"

I looked out my window and I smiled once I saw him. He had one hand on the wheel and was staring straight at me. Although I had obviously seen him before now, it still felt like years had gone by since I saw him last.

As a way of living in that moment and enjoying it, I smirked as I said, "Race you the quarter mile?" I knew it wouldn't be a drag race because of the traffic but it would certainly add some fun to this dull time.

I laughed when I saw his shocked reaction. "Why I thought you'd never ask!" He chuckled.

"You must'n know me" I winked at him before stepping on the accelerator.

I felt the car lurch forward and with it, myself. I quickly looked ahead of me and thank god I did otherwise I would've ended up tangled in a heap of smashed metal. I swerved to the right to avoid running into the car in front and ended up getting yelled at.

But at the same moment that the horns and people were yelling at me mixed in with the dark night and flashing lights, something in my mind clicked and I found myself frozen for a split second. I shook my head to pull myself out of the daze and focused on not running into anyone or anything. Once out of my daze I noticed that Austin was now in front of me. I narrowed my eyes but smiled at the same time and looked for a gap in the traffic.
