You don't know her like I do

Chapter 18: family ties

Ally's P.O.V

Ever since the day of the Xfinity race at Bristol last week me and Ryan haven't been on the best terms. We would still say hi to each other and still go on dates and talk about things but things just haven't been the Same. We are at Darlington this week and my family has decided to come and watch me race since they all love this track. My mind is everywhere right now trying to juggle the stress of my family and my Ryan issues. Not to mention if I don't do good at Darlington this weekend I'm kinda worried about getting into the playoffs. Ryan is far enough up in the standings if he were to blow up in the first 10 laps he would still make it but with all of the different winners this season even though I have a win I am still on the cut line because of my 5 DNF's.

*just arriving at Darlington*

"Hey, young lovers." My dad says opening the door to the motor home and coming in. "Hey dad." I speak. "Hey mr.sanders." Ryan calls from the back. "Ryan how many times have I told you to call me Casey. Mr.sanders makes me feel so old." My dad says laughing. "Sorry mr.sa- I mean Casey." Ryan yells. I laugh at Ryan's silliness. "How's it going Casey?" I say messing with my dad. "Are you Ryan? Cause I don't think you are?" My dad says joking with me. "So grandma and grandpa sanders are on there way and aunt Amanda, Caleb, Sierra and Beth are already here." My dad says. "Yay" I say a little depressed. "What's wrong babe. I thought you liked your family?" Ryan says coming up to the front. "I love grandma and grandpa cause they both love me for me and support my career but my aunt and cousin Caleb are different. They both think racing is to dangerous for a girl. My aunt stopped texting me everyday because I became a NASCAR driver. Caleb is just a suck up and always agrees with her and when I was in a wreck at Kansas she called by dad and said it was his fault and tried to get me to come home and stay with her so she could make me her 'perfect daughter' but I love Sierra and Beth. They are like my older sisters and they can't wait to meet you. But my aunt and Caleb might be a different story." I say trying to hide my eyes from Ryan. "I'll let you two talk. Ally when your ready they are in my camper   Ryan you are welcome to come too." My dad says getting up to give me and Ryan some alone time. "Ally can we talk for a second. And not about your family." Ryan asks holding my hands. "Yes. I'm been meaning to ask when we could but I was just scared." I say still not making eye contact. "Why have me and you been so distant lately?" I ask. "I don't know Allison. I have been worrying about racing to much. I haven't been thinking about you very much." Ryan says and I feel something wet on my shoulder. Ryan was crying and he never cries. "Hey hey. It's okay baby. I have been to distracted about trying to make the playoffs lately. I'm the bad one. I haven't told you that I love you in over a week." I say wiping his tears away and shedding some of my own. "Babe. I'm so sorry. This is my fault. Please forgive me. I love you Allison. I'll be here for anything." Ryan says with a pleading face. "Ryan I have also had part in this. I'm so sorry. I'm never gonna let racing come in between us again. I love you Ryan Micheal Blaney." I say tearing up a bit. "Hey baby it's okay. Shhhhh" Ryan says pulling me into his chest and playing with my hair while holding me.

"Hey ally." Ryan asks.  "Yeah babe." I say trying to stop crying. "What did your dad mean when he said your aunt has tried to make you into her 'perfect daughter'?" Ryan asks rubbing me back as if he already knew this wasn't going to end well. I hate this topic but Ryan deserves to know. " my aunt thinks that I should be the skinny model type of girl and I should always wear pink and likes dresses and heels. She also thinks I should be a doctor right now instead of living my dream and racing for a living. She hated even when me and you were racing together as little kids. And I'm so worried of how she is going to react to you because last time you were in town she blamed you and my dad for my obsession of racing." I say pacing back an forth in the room feeling like I'm gonna burst in any second. "Babe." Ryan says but before I can register it I yell. "WHAT RYAN." As soon as it comes out of my mouth I regret it. I sink to the floor and cover my mouth with my hand. I just yelled at the thing that mattered the most to me in my life. "Babe. Babe I'm so sorry. I didn't mean too." I say trying to get Ryan to look at me. "It's okay. I'm just worried about you. Why is she doing this to you? You are so important and special. Your are inspiring so many young girls who are racing and she is hurt by that? She is such an ass. And I haven't even met her yet." Ryan speaks. I laugh. "You know how to get me into a better mood baby." I say laughing and giving Ryan a hug.

Just as me and Ryan stop talking my phone rings on the counter. I go and look at it.

Daddio💝 : grandma and grandpa are here. I thought you might be waiting for them before you and Ryan come over.

Favorite daughter💘 : Ryan and I have just been talking for a while. I had to warn him before he met the devil and we also had some personal things to discuss.

Daddio💝 : did Blaney hurt you? I swear to god I love him like a son but I will tear his ass out of that RV and humiliate him in front of 7 million fans worldwide and everyone in NASCAR. 😡🤬

Favorite daughter💘 : no. Don't hurt him. I am very fond of him and he didn't do anything.  He's as perfect as ever. 😂❤️ we are on our way over.

"You ready babe?" Ryan asked. "Not quite. I'm gonna change real quick." I say with a devilish smile. "I know that look babe. I like the way you think." Ryan says and follows me to do the same. I figured if I'm gonna go see my aunt I'm going to at least gonna show her my real self. So I changed into my Dave Blaney shirt and some skinny jeans and my black converse with Ryan's wood brothers sweatshirt over it cause I'm a little cold. Ryan changed into a racing tee with my car on it and he put on his his wood brothers zip up jacket. But he left it unzipped so that you could purposely my shirt underneath. "Ready Babe?" I ask. "I am now." Ryan says grabbing his phone and I grab mine but before we exit out the door he pulls on my arm and I look up at him. "Na Na Na. Where is my kiss before we have to go through hell?" He says. It makes me laugh. "Right here." I say and I give him a long kiss. Ryan tried to kiss down my neck and give me some love bites but I stopped him before he could. "Nice try Blaney. Don't you want my grandparents to at least like you and my dad not to kill you." I say laughing. "You owe me later." Ryan says trying to be serious. "Okay. Later." I say with a smirk and start walking out the door. "You coming Blaney?" I ask. "Yeah." He says and runs to catch up to me.
