Million Dollar 1/4mile
Chapter one
Being the little sister of an ex-con and best street racer in the city was a tough job, everyone expected me to be just like him, our family had a bad name, and we were like the black sheep of this town, always on the wrong side of the law. Myself I had never done anything wrong, I was 12 when my dad was killed for an armed robbery, my mom died giving birth for me and since then its just been me and my brother. Emmett was 17 when dad was shot, they gave him custody of me.
It was just us two and his girlfriend Rosalie, we were unconventional but we were a family, soon Rosalie's bother and his girlfriend Alice showed up. Emmett had been busted for about 10 different things by then, in and out of juvy and jail, manly over nighters, but word got around town, so we all packed up and moved to this little slice of heaven called Forks. No one new us here, we could start over, but it didn't last long, people found out about our past, but Em didn't want to pull me out of school again, I didn't want to move again either, I had finally found some people that I could call friends.
And this is where our story begins, with me heading home from school, Rose had built me a car, but I preferred to walk, it drew less attention. Our garage was next to our house, it wasn't big or fancy but it was still home to me, Buster and Nos were sitting at the front gate waiting for me like they did every day. Buster was a big black Rottweiler, he was like a puppy but as soon as the lock was put on the gate at night, it was like a trigger went off in his head and if anyone that wasn't family tried to get in he would attack. Nos were a Bullmastiff he was a cream colour, and was the kindness dog in to world until those gates were locked. We had gotten them both when they were just puppies, I raised them, and they knew that I was boss.
"Come on boys." I said giving Buster a scratch behind the ear, they trotted along behind me and in to the garage to tell my brother I was home, dropping my bag at the back door that lead out to the house I found Emmett and Rose arguing in the garage office.
"I don't care Emmett!" she screamed, I heard a loud clang, I came around the corner and they both looked up at me, there was a spanner on the floor and a dint in the wall were I could tell it had been thrown at it.
"What's going on?" I asked, looking up at them. Rose shook her head and turned around to go into the house.
"Nothing Bella, don't worry ok." Emmett told me, he threw his arm around me and we headed into the house. "I have to tell you something B. you remember my friend Edward?" yeah hi I remembered., I nodded looking up at him, "Well he needs a place to crash, and I told him that he could crash with us, he's family, and we look after family." I could tell that he had rehearsed this speech and this was what he and Rose had been fighting about.
"Yeah Em, whatever, I don't care." I shrugged him off me, grabbing my bag and heading into the house.
Rose was in the kitchen, washing some dishes and starting on dinner. Without looking up from what she was doing she said, "I tried B, but there isn't much I can do unless I tell him what went down with you guys. Sorry."
"It's ok Rose, I can deal." I told her, Buster and Nos following me up to me room.
I was so glade that I was in my last year of school, Homework was a bitch. Half was through my homework Rose called us all down to dinner. Alice and Jasper had gotten back for getting parts and were sitting at the table. Emmett was still out in the garage, I looked over at Alice and she shrugged.
"Ill get the boy then." Jasper got up and went to get Emmett.
"So Rose told me that we were getting a new house matte, how are you feeling about this baby girl?" Alice asked, she knew what had gone down. Her face was full of concern, I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to ask more but jasper and Emmett walked back.
After dinner Alice and I cleaned up while Rose did some book work and the boys went out to work on their own cars for a race that was coming up.
"So B, how excited are you to finally be a senior?" Alice asked in a sing song voice hip checking me while drying a plate. Laughed I shoulder and handed her another plate.
"The work load is a lot bigger but I can deal, on the bright side I get to go off campus for lunch." I told her.
"Oh to be young again, the smallest thing make your day." She joked. We were laughing and play fighting when Emmett and Jasper came back in, seeing what was going on jasper came over and threw Alice up over his shoulder, she started screaming and giggling.
"Bella save me! Save me from this big hunk of man meat." She giggled and screamed so more.
"Ok ok that's enough, little miss has school tomorrow, so go on B it's late." Emmett kissed my fore head and gave me a hug. After saying good night to everyone I headed up to have a shower, finish off my homework and went to bed.
The next day I was up and gone before any of the others, arriving at school I met up with Ang and Ben at our lockers. Ang was a short Asian girl, with black hair, she was one of the smartness people that I knew, and she could out drive anyone at this school. That's one of the reasons that we clicked so well, Ben was Anges boyfriend, he was your average comic book nerd, but was cool and just sort of tagged along with us.
"So, I got some interesting news last night." I started as I slammed my locker door shut, leaning against it I turned my head to look at Ang as she was going through her locker.
"MMM." Was her answer, rolling my eyes I continued.
"Edwards coming to stay with us." I said, Ang stopped going through and locker and looked at me.
"For how long?" she asked, he eyes wide, she too knew what had happened and knew how much of a wreck I was after it.
"Don't know," I huffed and started on my way down that hall. "All Em said was that he was family and we help family." I turned to walk backwards as I talked to her rolling my eyes, she laughed and continued to laugh harder when I walked into someone; I spun around to find Mr Spencer, vice principle.
"Sir I'm so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." I rushed out, he glared down at me, he had it in for, I don't even know why, since the day I started here.
"Well Miss Swan why don't you learn to walk like a normal person, you may get away with a lot around here, but your big brother doesn't control this school." He gave me a final glare and walked off, ok so maybe I do know why he has it out for me. As soon as he was gone all three of us burst out laughing, heading to homeroom. The first half of the day was the same as normal; it wasn't until lunch that shit got interesting. Walking into the lunch room Ang and I got our food and headed to our table, before we could get there, Brittany and Amber, two of the schools bimbos and biggest bitches, stopped us.
"Get your hand off me." I told her, Brittany had an issue with me for some reason, she would try to start shit with me every day, but with she put her hands on me, well I couldn't be blamed for my actions, I had issue with personal space.
"Why's that Swan, you too good for us? You and your whole little family think that you're so good. That last race was rigged, we all know that there were no way you and that piece of shit skyline could beat my man." She was up in my face, then, she really over stepped it, bitch shoved me nocking my food to the ground.
I laugh a humourless laugh, Ang took a step back, if there was one thing that my life and my brother had taught me it was not to let people push you around. I looked over at Ang and back to Brittany, she had a little smirk on her face thinking she had won. Curling my hand into a fist I brought it back and swang forward, stopping an inch before her fact ass nose, I could see the sweat rolling down her face.
"Your 'man' can't drive for shit." With that I flicked her in the head and we walked off, I was so not in the mood for this shit today. I could hear people start to snigger and laugh, and Brittany huff and scream before stopping off.
I called Alice and she called the school saying that there was a family emergcy and she came and got me. Pulling up into the drive way, I notice that there was silver Toyota supra turbo, modified, with angles wings on the side.
"I'm sorry honey, he got in this morning."
"It's Alice, I'm a big girl now." I put on a smile and got out of the car walking into the garage.
Emmett and jasper and Edward were sitting on the couches in the corner of the garage, drinking so veers and talking.
"Hey, why the hell aren't you at school?" Emmett shouted, the other two spun in the chairs to look at me.
"Had a little problem with some skanny bitches, thought it best to leave than get kicked out, so this is what you lazy asses do all day, no wonder nothing gets done around this joint."
The boys just laughed, Rose was under the hood of a Honda that came in two days ago, she was laughing to herself, know that I was right. Alice was at her station, she did all the paint work on our cars, all custom paint work, all our cars had angle wings on the side. She brought in a lot of extra work for the garage with racers wanting Alice to paint their cars.
"Hey Bella." I looked down at Edward, he was staring up at me, his green eyes saying so much but at the same time he wasn't saying anything.
"hey." Was all I said.
"So should I be expecting a call from the school?" Rose asked, coming over to me.
Laughing I shook my head, "Hah your good, I was this close though." I told her, showing her with my fingers how close to Brittany's face I was. "I'm going in to clean up and get something to eat, anyone want anything?" I asked, they all declined.
After taking a shower and getting changed into a pair of jeans and a tank top I headed down to make myself something to eat because I didn't get my lunch at school, stupid bitches.
"Hey" I jumped about 10 feet in the air and spun around to find Edward standing in the door way smirking, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He snickered.
"Yeah, whatever." I turned back around, it was so hard to be around, and not get drawn back in.
"I'm sorry I left, but the heat was on, I didn't want you to get caught with me." I could feel him move closer behind me, three years the age difference, three years, how could I have been so stupid. "What happened?" I knew what he was talking about, I knew what he must have thought, I felt the water come to my eyes. "Bella, tell me."
"I lost it, I was only 16, the doctors said it was normal, that it happens all the time." By now I could barely talk, and I had tears running down my face.
"I'm sorry, I – I should have been there I should have protected you." He whispered, his hand was on my shoulder, rubbing up and down my upper arm, his other arm came around my middle, it felt good, it felt right, but it was wrong, I pushed away him, looking at him through bleary eyes, I said, "I cant." and ran from the room.
I ran up to my room, slamming the door before I broke down completely, when they took him, I felt like my world ended, I was finally starting to move on, and now he's back, this shit just got messy again.
So what did you think? I really liked writing this story. This idea has been running around in my head for so long it felt good to finally get it out lol.
So tell me what you think, and sorry for the all the spelling and grammar.
Love lovemeemmett
