Street Racing (book 2 from Ride or Die)

Chapter 3

It's been a few weeks since my father forced me to move to nowhere. Brian text's me at least once every day to let me know if Logan has come looking for me. 4 years and i'm not sure why he would be looking for me. i need to just move on and be happy. that's what he would have wanted for me. but every time i see that car, i think of him all over again and have hope he will find me. i can't sit in here any longer. i need to go for a drive. 

i grab my keys and run down the stairs to the door. 

"where are you going?" i hear my dad from the living room. i stop and groan softly.

"I'm going for a drive. and yes i'll come back to this prison you have me locked up in." i say and walk out the door. i climb into the car and drive off. a few miles down the road was the first town. it was small though. i grew up in LA so a small town wasn't my thing. i park on the side of the road beside a small store. it was like an old western kinda movie town. everything u need is either on the right or the left in a straight line and there all built together. all the cars around here were old and dirty and falling apart. i blink in annoy and get out the car. at this point everyone that was around was staring at me. this was gonna be awful. i walk to the sidewalk and look around. i see a small cafe across the street. i guess that will work. i walk over and go inside. it was average size. small tables spread out. i take a seat at the far end of the building. a lady came up asked if i wanted anything. i decided to have a coffee. she came back and gave me my coffee. i sat there watching the people around me and keeping an eye on my car. lots of young people looked at it in awe. a group of them walked into the cafe laughing. 4 boys, 2 girls. high school kids maybe. if not just got out of high school. one boy looked around and noticed me. he smiled and hit his buddy. i looked at my phone at that moment. i got a text from Brian telling me to call him ASAP. i get up and run out the door before the boys could talk to me. i felt there eye's on me as i ran to my car and call Brian.

"hey Brian. you needed me to call? what's going on?" he was silent for a moment. "BRIAN!" i yell into the phone.

"he's here." that's all Brian said. i was confused. what was he talking about.

"who?" i asked starting the car. 

"who do you think Ellie? it's Logan. i mean at first i didn't realize who it was till he said your name." i'm frozen in shock. Logan was in New York. 

"are you sure it's Logan." i heard him sigh. 

"Ellie, your kidding right? why would i lie about this? i know how much you love him. even after 4 years. if you didn't i'd have his car." i chuckled softly. he was right. if i didn't love Logan no more Brian would have the car. that's what i told him when we first met. 

' "dude. nice ride." i smiled. "can i have it? I'll race you for it." i shook my head.

"this car is all i have for the love of my life. if i didn't love him I'd race you for it." we laughed.'

"Ellie?" Brian pulled me out the memory. 

"yeah I'm here. how long has he been in New York?" for a moment hes quiet like he was thinking.

"he's been here..." he paused. 

"Brian?" 

"he's been here since the day you left." he sounded confused. that's why my dad wanted to leave that same day. because he knew. he knew Logan was there. 

"I got to go Brian. I'll call you back later." i hung up and raced down back home. i drift into the driveway and stop the car. i run into the house and look for my dad. i find him in his office. i storm in and look at him with anger. he looked up at me confused. 

"how dare you?" i glared. he sat back and folded his arms.

"how dare i what?" he was acting innocent. 

"you knew Logan was in New York that's why you wanted to leave that same day." i relax and realize. "you wanted me to stay away from him. you don't want him near me." i back away from the office shaking my head. 

"Ellie, i let you keep the car. why do you want to be around him?" 

"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" i screamed at him. i let my tears fall. 

"he was the reason you almost died." he stood up in anger. i shook my head. 

"for 4 years i waited for him to come back. to come back to me. but instead u find me and take me away to this hell." i was so angry that i ran out the door and drove away. i didn't want to go back there. i wanted to be with Logan. i called Brian and told him to tell Logan i was on my way to him. just to keep him there a little longer. 

"I'm on my way Logan. please hang on." i prey and speed down the streets to New York city to find Logan Blake.
