The plan

Chapter 30- Apple Pie

I smack Ryder right in the face, and quickly leave.
"BITCH!" He yells as I run back to my friends.

"What did he do to you?" Chase asks.
"Chase, I'm fine."

Chase is like my protective older brother, and it's really comforting to know he looks out for me.
"What happened?" Ryan and Anna ask at the same time.
I sigh, "He brought up Lizzie."
All of their eyes widen, and they all stay quiet.

Whenever I talk about my sister, no one knew what to say.

"Motherfucker." Chase mumbles as he starts walking towards Ryder.
"Oh dear." Ryan says.

We all quickly run up to him, and try stopping him.
"Chase, forget about it. I'm fine, just don't start a fight." I say.
"What kind of person brings up someone's dead sister, and acts like a dick about it?!" Ryan asks.
"Uh, I-I.."
Anna grabs my arm, and brings me back to her.

"There's no way to stop this from happening, so.... show time." Ryan says while doing 'jazz hands.'
Anna and I just stare at him.
"Too soon?"
We both nod, and he looks down at his shoes.

"What the fuck is your problem?!" Chase yells as he goes up to him.
Ryder rolls his eyes, "Stay out of this. You don't have to protect her from everything."
Ryder shoves Chase, and Chase shoves him back.
Chase shoves him so hard, that Ryder falls to the ground.

"Dude!" Ryder yells.
He gets up, and punches Chase in the nose.
Chase's nose starts bleeding, but that doesn't stop him.
He starts punching Ryder in the face repeatedly, and soon Ryder is on the ground, and Chase is still punching him.

"He's gonna knock him out!" Anna yells over the chants of people surrounding the fight.
"Ryan, go stop Chase!" I yell.

"I would, but.....I don't wanna risk getting blood on my new shirt." He says.
Anna and I keep looking at him, and he sighs.
"Do you know how expensive this shirt was?"
We keep looking at him, and he throws his hands up in defense.
He gets up, and pulls Chase off of Ryder.

"Maybe you've learned your lesson?" Ryan says to Ryder.
Ryder's face has bruises and blood all over it.
He gets up, and shoots me a death glare.

"Oh my god! Baby are you okay?!" Claire asks from behind Ryder.
Oh great... I think to myself.
"Let's get out of here." He says to her.
He whispers something else in her ear, and she gives me a dirty look.

"The race will be starting shortly." A voice on a microphone says.
Everyone starts hurrying to where the race is held, and we follow them.
We all manage to get a front row view.

"Thank you." I say to Chase as we sit down.
"No problem. Its just when he brought up Lizzie, I got so mad. You know?" He says.
"Yeah, that was pretty fucked up."

I look at the cars that will be racing, and see Jace standing next to one.

He smiles at me, completely unaware of a fight that just happened.
I smile and wave back, and I hear Ryan say something.

"Guys, look who's here!"
We all look and see Justin and Matt walking towards us.
Ryan hugs Justin, and Matt walks over to Anna.

I smile to myself, and turn my attention back to Chase.
"So when are we going to meet Vanessa?" I ask.
"Hopefully soon, she's kinda shy."
I nod, and the man starts talking into the microphone again.

"You guys ready?!" He yells.
The crowd starts instantly cheering.
"Tonight's racers are, Ashton Walker!"
There are some 'boos' in the crowd, but there's also cheers.
"And Jace Johnson!"
The crowd starts cheering even louder.

A person walks in between the two cars that are racing, and she holds up the flag.
The crowd of people are still cheering, and I'm watching intensely.
The flag goes down, and they drive away quickly.
The crowd is standing up and cheering, and so are we.

I look at Ryan and Justin, and they're both cheering like their life depended on it. Anna and Matt are cheering and clapping, and so are Chase and I.
*********

"The winner is Jace Johnson!"
The crowd goes crazy, and so do I.

"Make sure you come to the racing finals. Jace Johnson-who has won every single race, against Mike Carter-who has also won every race!" He yells into the microphone.

Everyone finishes cheering, and they all start heading to their cars.
"I'll meet up with you guys in a sec." I say.
"Okay." They all say, and I hurry off to see Jace.

"You were amazing!" I say.
"Thanks for coming." He says with a huge grin on his face.
"So, when are the racing finals?"
"In a couple nights. You coming?"
"Of course."
He grabs my hand, and we walk to my friends.

"Wanna go get food?" Chase asks.
"I'm in." Ryan and Anna say.
Justin and Matt agree, and so do Jace and I.
"I want a burger, what about you guys?" I ask.
We all agree, and we walk to the cars.

Matt gets in Anna's car.
Justin, Ryan and Chase all get in Justin's car.
Jace leads me to his car, and he closes the door for me.

His car is so nice and expensive, that I'm afraid to touch anything and ruin it.

"Did you have fun watching your first race?" He asks as we follow Justin's car in front of us.
"It was amazing, but I think my eardrums are bleeding." I say.

He starts laughing, and puts his hand on my thigh.
I tense up, and he notices it so he takes his hand off of my thigh.
"I'm sorry, did I go too far?" He asks.
"No, just not use to it I guess.." I say.
I hold his hand and put it back on thigh, away from the spot he touched.
He looks at me, and I smile at him.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
I nod, "Yeah."
He keeps looking at me.
"I'm fine."
*******

We meet everyone at McDonald's, and Ryan is already ordering.
"And I'll have that with an apple pie." He says while smiling.
"Sorry sir, we stopped making apple pies for the night." The lady at the cash register says.
Ryan takes out a piece of paper, and writes something on it.
He slides it to her, and her eyes light up.
"Are you sure about that?"
She takes the paper and puts it in her pocket, "I'll go get you one."

Ryan smiles at her, and turns around and looks at Jace and I.
"What did you give her?" I ask.
"Jace's phone number."
