They both tried making things better but at this point nothing could maker feel any better. I went through everything of my dads. He was my only hope I had. Why did he have to leave me. I just kept thinking this is not fair. He should have stayed. But that's not how it all had to play out. He wasn't going to see me for prom. No one was going to be there for my graduation. I had no more family anymore they are all gone.

************After a couple of days of being depressed I came to the conclusion that my dad didn't want me to feel like this. He would want to see me live my life and continue on. So I decided to go to Cody's room.
I knocked on his door. He opened the door.
Cody: dani what do you want
I heard that he used to street race and I wanted in.
Me: I want you to teach me how to street race.
Cody: I can't do that
Me: why not
Cody: I can't im sorry
Me: fine I'll find out my damn self
Then as I was about to storm out of the house he grabbed my arm.
Cody: why do you even want to learn
Me: I want to try new things
Cody: street racing isn't for innocent people like you. It's dangerous.
Me: perfect
Cody: no you could die doing a race
Me: life isn't about playing it safe all of the time you have to take risks
Cody: why do you want to street race
Me: I'm done being the scared, goodie two shoes, and the girl that does nothing. I want to be reckless
Cody: there are plenty of other things to do
Me: I want to try this
Cody: fine I'll teach you
Me: thank you
Cody: don't thank me just meet me out by my car in 5
Then I went to my room and grabbed my bag and fixed myself up.
When I got outside there was Cody leaning against the car waiting for me with his arms crossed. God was he good looking but I couldn't let that distract me.
Cody: we are going for a little drive before all of this
He had a little smirk on his face when. He said that.
Then we both got in.
Cody started the car. At first he was going the speed limit then he progressed on going fast.
Me: Cody slow down your going to get a ticket
Cody: well you want to speed race right well im showing you what it's like
Me: on the fucking highway with other cars
Cody: you don't know what your getting into do you
Then he speed up we were now going 114 mph.
While we were speeding on the highway there was this dumbfuck that cut in front of us. I thought we were going to crash so I just closed my eyes while I screamed.
Once we got out of the traffic and no car was on the highway I finally relaxed.
Cody: change your mind yet
Me: no it's scary but it's something I want to try
Cody: I just don't want you hurt
Me: I won't I promise
Cody: it will be our little adventure together
Me: yeah
Cody: promise me that you would change like your personality because you want to try new things
Me: I won't.
Then he held my hand and we just took our car ride in peace.
I was scared to do this street race thing but it's a way to get Cody to tell more about his past and something new to try. I just hope I don't get hurt. Let's just hope for the best.
Then I got a call from drew.
Drew: hey dani
Me: Drew whats up
Drew: not to alarm you and Cody but I'm on my way to the hospital I think I broke my nose and arm
Me: we are on our way
I told Cody she was in the hospital.
Cody: what the hell did she do
Me: just come down
Cody: just shut up you don't know what it's like to know your sibling is hurt
Me: I have a pretty god idea considering I just lost my dad asshole.
Cody: I didn't mean it like that
Me: I'm sure you didn't just pull over and let me out.
Cody: we are almost there im not letting you walk
Me: you know you are so fucking confusing. You are an asshole too. Tell Drew I'll see her in an hour
Then I got out. I was in tears because of what he said about not knowing how it feels to basically be in fear or hurt. I called alex to pick me up and take me to the hospital.
I explained what happened between me and Cody and that I want to do street racing. She looked and me crazy but then in concern because I lost my dad.
Alex: let's have a girls night. Me you and Melissa tonight
Me: that sounds good.
When we got to Alex's house later that night. Cody was sitting on the steps. How he knew her house I don't know.
Me: go away I'm not talking to you
Cody: fine don't just listen
I just started at him in annoyed.
Cody: I'm sorry for the insensitive thing I said earlier. I know I've been confusing the shit out of you. I'm confused myself. I confused on these feelings I have for you. I like you dani. I don't want to see you hurt. I don't want to see you hurt my someone hurting you or by you getting in the hospital it hurts me to see you like that. I haven't been there for you but I want to. I just don't want you to change the way you are by doing the crazy things I'd do. Because I've seen people change because of it. I like you the way you are now and nothing can change that.
Then he kissed me. I didn't release how much I liked him until all of that happened. It was a magical moment. I know how cliche that sounds but it was. It was like a sene from a movie.
But maybe I was falling for him. Maybe I had a chance with him.
