Lexie and i start work to the engine, taking the bolts off and unmounting it from the frame. The old engine didn't have any problems, but my new tuned engine came in from honda, so i couldn't leave it laying around.

"You know Jake, you bring this to the scrap yard, you could get some money for this. sure it still works, but you've had to fix it so many times that it not worth keeping around." Lex says, as i place the old engine into its storage box.

"Ya, i have a load of scrap in my truck right now. I have to run it to the scrap yard soon before it gets dark." 

"Ok well get that new engine out, we'll mount it back onto the bike, and give her some power to make sure she works. Than we can do our scrap run."

I nod in agreement, and walk over to my work bench where i have the engine sitting. i carry it over to Lex. and she opens it up.

"Oh looks nice Jake. Can't wait to see her go."

I put the box on the ground and get Lex to help take the engine out and mount it back into the bike. 

"Ok Lex, you go wash up. I'm going to bolt her back on and put the body back on, then ill be in to wash up and change before we go."

Lexie smiles and heads inside. I take my time re-bolting and connecting the engine. 

As i finish putting the last body plate on, I smile. I grab my keys off the work bench, and sit on the bike, firing her up, listening to the roar of the engine. 

I walk inside and take my shoes off, putting them beside the washing machine. As i walk through the laundry room, i see Lexie sitting on the stairs in the front entrance of the house. The front entrance is an open concept, with a wood staircase leading up the balcony that overlooks our living room. From there is a hallway that leads down to my parents and my brothers rooms. along with the bathroom, and computer rom.

"Hey i heard the bike, it sounds great Jacob!" she smiles.

"Ya but i still have to wash her tonight. Now i'm going to head down stairs to my room." 

I head to the basement stairs, that are beside the main stairway and open the oak wood door to go down. My room is the whole basement, which consisted of, a bedroom, bathroom, and open area where i had a pool table, and my gaming station, along with a mini fridge and a couple couches and chairs. my room was painted red and black, and i had brand posters lining my walls, as for the big open area, I had old football jerseys framed and hung, and some older posters from my younger years. As i walk down the wood stairs, i hear Lex following behind me. my bedroom door was right in front of where the stairs ended as the gaming area and pool table where off to the left hand side. I walk into my room and turn the light on.

"Ok let me get changed and we can go." I say closing the door behind me. My room had a window in it which meant that my parents let me smoke in the house, and also toke my marijuana. my whole bedside table was covered in papers and tobacco. I strip my dirt black t-shirt off, and walk to my closet, throwing my shirt in the dirty laundry hamper, and grabbing out a white t-shirt, putting it on my bed. I match it with a pair of black ripped jeans and my leather jacket. I quickly get dressed and do my hair, spiking it in the front. I spray some cologne on myself and walk out, grabbing my DGK hat off my door handle and my truck keys off the hanger.
