Her Need For Speed

T H I R T E E N

-Della's POV-
11:56 pm

I am currently getting a drink of my water at the time Theo walks over to me with Zeus who is drunk, he looks funny!

"I don't know how we're getting him home... Can he spend the night with us tonight?" Theo asked, I nodded my head as I pulled out my phone since it vibrated.

From Unknown: Come to the top floor of the building, there awaits the most beautiful site for you to lay your eyes on...

Since Zeus and Theo left, I was left by myself with four minutes until midnight... Thats just perfect, I got up from the VIP section and went to the elevator to head up to the roof. I was nervous at who sent this to me, but I was up for anything right now to pass the time until midnight. Once the elevator opened, I walked up the stairs to the door that leads to the roof, the site I was met with was stunning... Rose petals covered the rooftop with a path that was lit by candles, all at the end was a site for sore eyes.

There right ahead of me was Theo with a rose bouquet in his hands looking very handsome as the candles showed every detail of his face, I bit my lip as I walked down the path to him as he smiled at me.

"Why hello there..." He said in a low voice, it was so beautiful up here!

"Hi Theo, this is amazing up here... Did you do all this yourself?"

"I had help..." he trailed off, oh no.

"Renee? If she helped with this, tell her she did a kick ass job on it because its stunning!" I said surprising myself, I can't believe I had a nice thought about her!

"You look really beautiful tonight, you know that right?" he said as our faces were only inches apart, I smiled at him as he glanced at my lips before I glanced down at his...

"Thank you, that means a lot to me... Oh, they're counting down to midnight downstairs!"

"Hey Della..."

"Yeah?"

"Happy New Years..." and with that, he placed his lips over mine as we began kissing each other passionately. Our lips moved together in sync, we pulled away finally and Theo looked to the side smiling at something. That's when I saw Renee emerge from the shadows with a camera, she walked over timidly to us but still smiling.

"You did fantastic with this Renee, thank you for this..." I said smiling, she started smiling too.

"I'm so sorry for the turmoil I've caused you two, after this I'll leave you both alone for good. I just wanted to give you two the perfect kiss and I got a video of everything including pictures to go with it, here are your cameras Theo. Happy New Year's you two, have a good night..." Renee said smiling, she turned and started walking away without saying another word.

"Renee, wait up a second!" I said as I ran over to her, I hugged her as she hugged me back which surprised us both,"You don't have to not talk to us, just don't try to ruin anything anymore okay? I'll see you at school and don't act like a stranger!" I added smiling, she smiled back at me and then I noticed she got her nose fixed along with the other damage I did to her which now makes her flawless! With that, she returned to the party leaving Theo and I alone on the roof to watch the fireworks...

"Good job, I'm proud of you..." He said to me as he pulled me into his side, I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his side as we watched the fireworks before us.

-Theo's POV-

This night is perfect, I'm so glad Renee and Della made up and that Renee got footage of everything that happened up on that roof. We walked back to the elevator and went downstairs to where the party was coming to a close where we saw that Zeus and Kali were nowhere in site, I went up to Zac to find out where they went.

"Where did Zeus and Kali go?" I asked, he gave me a look like "I should know where they went" and that is when it clicked.

"Really? In the middle of a party he is throwing?!"

"It's his present to her, he said he'd planned it for months in advance... How was your night?"

"Got the best kiss tonight I've ever had with this lovely gem..."

"Good! I'll call you soon, all of us celebs have work tomorrow so we gotta head out if we don't want a huge hangover! Bye you two, nice meeting you Della..." Zac said as we bro hugged and he hugged Della, he left to gather all the others as he left us.

"Well, this could be a while so let's go relax and dance the rest of the night away I guess!" Della said, I laughed at her comment as she led me to the dance floor where they were playing She Knows by Ne-Yo..

-Della's POV-

This night was amazing, I can't believe all this happened in one day. I got one amazing thing out of it though, I got Theo right by my side for life now!

-First Day Back At School-

I was wearing light denim skinny jeans that were fitted to me perfectly with a black v-neck t-shirt with my signature jacket along with a pair of Jordans. I was walking to my last class of the day which is free period since Zeus and Theo weren't at school today oddly, I went to my locker and grabbed my backpack and threw my stuff in it as I walked out to my car since I signed myself out to where I can do whatever this period as they always let me. I decided to leave since they let me leave whenever I want to, I got in my Aventador and started it before putting it in gear to leave.

I drove to my house where there were cops and an ambulance in front of it with their lights flashing. What the hell was going on?

"Excuse me officer, what's going on here?" I asked to the woman officer, she looked at me concerned.

"Are you Della Page?"

"I am, may I ask why?"

"Your brother was found in your driveway unconscious ten minutes ago, we were wondering if you knew what happened."

"I just came from school, he could have had a heat stroke! He sometimes hangs out too long in the sun taking care of the house to where he gets close to passing out but I usually bring him in before that happens, that's the only thing I can think of!" I said as I got worried, she took note of what I said as she nodded at me as he went to her cruiser as the cop cars and ambulance pulled out of the road rushing to the hospital. I pulled into the garage and turned my car off as I ran inside, I looked down to see a note on the table in familiar handwriting.

Della,
Come to my house, we have something to inform you about that is urgent!

I went and got into my Jeep which I picked up the other day as it was finished and looked new, I pulled out of the garage after closing the door again with my purse beside me with my phone and wallet in it as I drove down the streets to Theo's house. I pulled into his driveway and got out after shutting my Jeep off, I hear his voice in his backyard so I opened the fence gate and shut it behind me as I saw him with Zeus chilling by the pool.

"You left a note? What's so urgent?" I said as I sat down in a chair, they looked at each other then to me.

"Well, when you won the race the other night there was somebody who you don't particularly like that was watching you very closely..." Zeus said breaking the silence, who the hell could he be talking about specifically?!

"Lina Matheson, sound familiar?" Theo said, I swear I almost shit myself when he said that.

"Why was she there and how in the hell did she get out of prison?" I said starting to worry, she should have been in there for much longer than three years!

"She got bailed out... She's trying to get to you for you to join her street racing team or worse, she's trying to take you out so nobody is better than her." Zeus said, that's when I got worried. She's trying to kill me? That's not gonna happen, I'll kill her before she can ever touch me if that's what this comes too...
