Beside You (A Marianas Trench / Ghost Town Fan Fic)

~Chapter 17

Nova's POV:

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?" I yelled way to angrily for my own good.

"No, I'm sorry but they ruled it as an accident." Zander told us calmly.

"HOW THE HELL WAS IT RULED AN ACCIDENT!? HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO TURN!" Josh raged.

"People are idiots that’s how." Ryan added.

"HE WAS OUT TO HURT SOMEONE! IF IT WASN'T NOVA IT WAS GOING TO BE KAT!" Kevin added.

I don't know what came over me but I ran. I ran as fast as I could and I know where I was going. Malones room. I ran all the way there until Kat caught me before I did something stupid.

"I'm not going to tell you not to go in there, because you deserve to have words with I’m but don't do anything that will cause you to get suspended."

I nodded and walked in.

“Jason Malone!” I yelled.

He popped his head around the corner looking terrified. Good good good good. BE SCARED MOTHERFUCKER!

“Go away Brooks.” He growled.

“No. I deserve answers.”

“I hit you, on accident. End of story.”

“For fucks sake! Stop lying Malone! You’re not fooling anyone!” I was now yelling.

“Okay here it is! Before you and your precious Kat came along, I WAS ON TOP! I was champion! I was the one all the fans would run to as soon as those gates opened to the pits! I was the star! Then these two fucking amazing girls swoop in, and just take my place! You guys are amazing racers, a two years before anyone else has become professional! Hell what are you like 21? You’ve already raced two seasons! It also helps that you both are good looking, you’re like those badass girls with the pink, and purple hair, the bodies every girl dreams they could have and you can race, and workout like a man! I swear to god you two are like fucking superwoman!  It’s hard to compete with! You try and be just shoved to the end of the line! News flash it’s not exactly easy. AND THEN TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER I get rid of you for the rest of the race, and Kat goes and wins keeping your undefeated title!” He yelled, but was now pouting.

Did I just hear that right? Did Malone just basically tell me we’re the epitome of awesome? I think he did… I think he was also telling me that we fuck everything up. I think he was trying to be endearing? God this man is confusing. I kind of want to melt down and forgive him, but we all know stubborn Nova can’t just do that. Nova Brooks does not give up. Especially to peasants.

“So… you were trying to get rid of me?” 

“Essentially. Yes.”

“Good to know. Good luck tonight, Malone.” I said coldly before walking out.

"Are you sure you're ready?" Kat asked obviously concerned as usual. I swear she's like the mother I never had. I mean of course she's my best friend, and partner, and just generally awesome but she is quite protective.

"Damn sure." I answered simply.

It had been about a week and my ribs are still a little sore but usually only when I sleep wrong, or do something klutsy. I'm a ginormous klutz but so was Kat. We could get on wheels and be total boss's but as soon as we're placed on our own two feet we're worst than a dyslexic baboon. It gets even worst when we are in riding boots. I don know if you've ever worn riding boots but basically you walk like a robot. Stiff legs almost waddling.

"Okay go get ready we're late as it is!" Kat said pushing me through the door too my room.

 I walked into the room to see Josh still asleep. That lazy motherfucker! It's noon! To wake him up I need careful planning.
