The Unbalance

5.

The next morning I woke up to a loud bang in the kitchen. Who the hell is in my house?
 I run out of my room flailing my arms. "Oh, I forgot you stayed here last night.." I say.

"Yeah, sorry bout the noise. I was just gonna make breakfast and was trying to find the stuff. Do you have pancake mix?", Cody asks me.

"I don't but the shop down the street does. I'll go get some."

"Okay, I'm gonna Just make french toast then so you can get ready to go."

"Alright. I'm going to go get ready then," I say as I head to my room to get dressed. While I grab a shirt and some pants I start to smell the cooking food. Mmm, smells so good!

I press play play on my radio and music starts to play.

"You know you make me weak, yeah you, you bring me to my knees, and all I ask of you, and all I ask of you, is baby, please don't leave me, you are all I ever need...." I dance around in sync with the glorious lyrics coming out of the speakers," Yellow bracing teeth These visions haunting me, get me out of my head, you get me out of my mind, you get me out of my dreams, marble browed in teeth, come back to me in pieces..." Oh god, this song speaks so much truth, I absolutely love it!

"You done in there yet?" I hear Cody yell from outside the door. "Umm, yeah, I am. Be out in a second," I tell him

I close my eyes for a second then reach to turn the music off. I need to be prepared for today's challenges. These days, every moment of my life is a challenge. I've been falling behind in my life. Now, I need to get back on track.

Every now and again I need to get out and stop myself from destroying  everything around me. Right now, racing will help me do that. I must carve my own path... even if it is illegal.

I walk out into the kitchen quickly. "I need some food in me belly!' I say excited because I'm super hungry and good food is sitting on front of me.

"It may be a little well done, burnt even. You don't have to eat it, " he explains.

"Oh no, you don't understand, slightly burnt french toast is the bomb!" I yell happily. This will be the best food I have had in months.

"Hurry up so we can go before school starts! We have two hours left until school," Cody tells me.

"Crap! I totally forgot we have school," I laugh at the thought, "School is going to be sucky as hell today. We have our finals."

"Yeah I know but those are not that important. Getting you on the road is more important."

"Okay, but we got to get going. I'll put my plate in the sink then let's go!" I say excitedly. This is going to be so awesome!

We grab the keys to the cars then we get going out of the door, hop in the cars, and then he pulls out. I just got to follow him to the location.

Soon we pull up to an old race track. This must be the place. There is overgrown brush everywhere, but the track is still nice. Must be the old River-bend track. They just call it something else now. Nobody has used it besides I guess...us, since that mass shooting happened here. Great place to race!
