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

~Chapter 19

“Are you sure you feel up to it?” Nova asked me being the worry wart she is.

“Yes!” I assured her. “I’m positive!”

“Okay just don’t do anything dumb!”

“Thanks babe… I won’t.”

We continued to get ready for the pits throwing on a layer of makeup and doing our hair it’s rather hot today so I threw on a pair of jean shorts and a black fox muscle tank top with Vans, and we can’t forget about my hideous brace! It really doesn’t look that bad but what I hate about it is it attracts attention. Everywhere I wear it I get some question of how I hurt myself, or how long am I in it for, does it hurt etc. Also if I wear it under something it’s still completely obvious I’m wearing it because it makes me walk with a limp! Ew! Can we have anymore obstacles to dodge this season!? I mean seriously let’s reflect.

1)      I had a insulin induced freak out panic attack but somehow didn’t end up with diabetes! I mean thank the lord for not being diabetic but it was still weird.

2)      Malone hit Nova thinking it was me to fuck up everything and she got hurt. Hey she’s a fighter though and pulled through.

3)      And then here I am with an Arthritis flare up mid season. FUCK ME!

You know it’s okay. I’m going to race this. I’m going to fucking win this. I am going to win this because all I will not look weak. Weakness is a problem in motocross and it doesn’t help when you are the only two girls.

Nova threw on a pair of shorts too, and short sleeve white shirt after I wrapped her ribs. God we as a team are just… broken.

“Well aren’t we just a pair!?” She joked.

“Hell yes! And we are still in first! And we will stay in first because this we are bosses!” I said with a lisp.

“Yes you will!” Kevin said hugging me from behind. “We have to go if you want to make it before the fans!”

“Okay ready!?” I cooed.

“Ready Eddie!”

“Wait my crutches I have to be on them after the race.”

“Already in the car now go!” Kevin said smiling and shooing me to the car.

“Leggo!” Josh added.

I now realize it takes so much longer to walk anywhere with the brace so I hope I don’t slow anyone down.

“Jump.” Kevin said referring to his back that was now facing me.

“PIGGY BACK!” I said jumping on his back and wrapping my arms around his neck.

He carried me down to the truck and I let Manny drive because he wouldn’t stop bugging me. Seriously he has been trying to drive my truck since like the first time I met him. I guess the lift is impressive? I guess, and yes Nova and I have lift on our trucks. I will admit it is total douche bag, backward hat wearing dude lift, but you know what!? I love it! We go there early for once and Nova and I disappeared to our trailer for about 10 minutes until our tent is set up.

Josh’s POV:

I don’t think I have ever seen a happier face as when Nova finally gave in and let Mike drive her truck. It’s pretty hilarious because the truck has so much lift that they had to get specialized little step rails so they can get into them. These girls are something else. It’s also funny because they are both small so they just look so out of place. Especially Kat! She looks like she should be driving a fucking Volkswagen Bug! No offence Kat…. Seriously though she is 5’3 and, yeah. Per usual we got there the truck and trailer were mauled by angry looking men taking their bikes too show and the guys were handed regular tickets but were allowed to enter the pits early with us. The girls disappeared to their trailers so I don’t expect to see them for the next 10 minutes or so. We’ll let them have their time.
