"Up next is Brianne vs. Jake." Shit. What the hell is up with this? Fist, I hardly ever seen him, now I'm constantly going against him. I get worried. I knew how fast Jake could go on his bike, but I used to race his bike too. I knew it would be a close call. I've raced with Jake but never against him. Guess it's something else new I should try today. We both get our bikes up to the starting line (well Jake has his bike and I have Scott's) and we wait for the signal to go. I've been to this race track before with Jake so I know the route. We're both sitting on our bikes when the flag girl in hardly no clothes hold up the flag. She pulls it down signaling for us to go and we take off. I haven't raced in so long. I felt the adrenaline over come me and I go fast and faster to get ahead. I can hear my heartbeat in my ears as I go past Jake. He looks over at me and goes a little faster. We both take turns taking the lead. We hit a turn but I cut him off. I was always good at that. This let me ahead a bit and I could see the finish line coming up. I hear Jake coming up behind me so I accelerate as fast as I can until I pass the finish line literally a second before Jake. I beat him TWICE in one day. Could this get any better? I take off my helmet and shake my hair free from being blown around in the wind. I look at Jake who has a defeated yet amused look on his face.

"Looks like I'll have to apologize 2 times for kicking your ass twice." I smirk and he laughs, shaking his head. It feels as if time hasn't went by at all. I feel like I have my best friend back, but I don't have feelings for him like I used to. I love Scott and that's it. Scott runs up to me and hugs me, planting a kiss on my lips congratulating  me. He looks at Jake and was actually nice.

"Good race man." And they do that weird bro hug. I shake my head. Maybe we could all be friends? That'd be great but that's a low chance.

"Ready to go home Bree?" Scott asks, looking at me.

Jake chimes in though. "I could take her home if you want me to? I just moved here and I'd like to know where she lives?"

"Nah man, that's okay. Bree and I are going to the same house. No need for you to make a longer trip." Scott says, trying to be friendly but I can hear the protectiveness in his voice. I don't think Scott trust boys around me since Adam. I don't blame him honestly. I wonder if Jake knows what happened to Adam? We were all best friends at one point. I decide to leave that to Jake to find out if he doesn't already know. I wave goodbye to Jake and get onto the bike with Scott.

"Hold on princess." And I can practically hear his smirk by his voice. I wrap my arms around Scott and look at Jake one last time. He looks...sad? I shake it off and enjoy the ride home. I started to get creeped out though because someone followed us the whole time, but I was relieved to see them pull into the house on the other side of mine. It's been up for sale, someone must have bought it. I get out and Jump in Scott's back. He laughed and carried me to the house. He took me all the way upstairs and threw me down on the bed. We started play wrestling around but he got on top of me and started kissing me. I saw a light turn on in the House next to mine. Not on Scott's side but the other side. I turn my head to see but Scott attacks my neck with playful kisses. When I open my eyes, the curtains next door were closed. I giggle because they probably didn't want to see this 'show'.

"You tired princess?"

"Very."  I say as I take off my clothes and get into bed with Scott. I snuggle into him and fall asleep quickly. Fighting and racing wear me out.

Jake's P.O.V.
I saw Scott and Bree ride off down the road. Weird that they went the same way I was going. I felt bad and felt like I was stalking them so I went around the block and went to my new house. I went upstairs and I looked out my window. I see Bree and Scott play fighting. Scott started kissing her and she was kissing back. I closed my curtains. Honestly. It hurt to see that. I don't even know why. I'm the one who ruined things with Bree because my ego was too big. I didn't want to be caught up in a relationship so I kept sleeping around with girls, hoping she'd not like me in that way anymore. I didn't know it would cause her to hate me. Then she moved away and I never had the chance to tell her how I really felt. Now that I found her, it's too late. She loves someone else. I don't want to get in the way of that. She's finally happy and she deserves it. I saw what happened to her and Adam. It was on the news. I'm glad she found someone who takes care of her and doesn't hurt her. I wish it was me, but I hurt her. I turn off my lights and decide to go to bed. I hope Bree and I could be friends again. I fall asleep with memories of Bree and I going through my head.

We were in 5th grade. We were on the play ground and some bully pushed her off the swings. I went up to her and asked if she was okay. She had tears and a scratched knee. I kissed her knee and punched the bully.

I laugh at how ridiculous that was. We've always been like that. I was like a big brother to her. I took care of her, even when her mom was gone on trips, she would stay at my house. I remember holding her in my arms as she cried herself to sleep the day her dad died. He was in an accident with a drunk driver.

I fall asleep and dream of all the times I was with Bree come in. I missed her.
