Thanks to those who gave me feedback on the first story, I'm sure to use it in this one!


They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

Jayla sang along to the lyrics as she worked under her car's hood in Harvey's garage. She was taken off guard when strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her against a hard body.

"Hey there" Jayla said turning around in Ryan's arms.

"Your curfew is in an hour" Ryan said kissing her neck "You should get going"

Jayla moaned in detest and bit on the lower part of his ear "I can stay a little longer"

Ryan smiled but then pushed her away still smiling at her "Your dad will wont let you see me if we don't follow his rules" Jayla signed and nodded.

It's been a month since the race and everything was going great, Dom let her race as long it her grades were up and she followed his rules. He was less harsh on her, but not Ryan. He still thought he was scum and treated him that way. And even thought Ryan and her haven't and aren't planning on sex Mia put Jayla on the pill in case "I know sometimes things can't get of hand without planning" she told her.

"Okay" Jayla said kissing him goodbye before shutting her hood and leaving. She was home within the hour and parked her car outside before walking inside.

"I'm home" she called but no one seemed to be here. She looked in all the rooms and was right no one was there. She found a note on her desk though,

Jayla,

Come to the dinner when you get home

Love,

Dad

Jayla shrugged whatever to keep her out late was not a problem for her. She grabbed her white leather jacket and put it over her green Von Dutch tank top and jeans before leaving. As she drove to the dinner it lightly started to rain.

"Great" she mumbled running to the front door of the dinner and stepping inside. It was all dark "Dad?" she called turning on the light.

SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Jayla's mouth dropped as people jumped out from every angle in the dinner "Oh my god" she mouthed as the music started to play and people started to party.

"Surprised?" Dom asked walking up to her giving her a hug.

"Yeah" she answered still shocked "You did this?"

"With some help from me" Ryan said appearing.

"Aww thanks guys" she said giving her dad a hug then Ryan, Dom went stiff as she hugged him. Jayla noticed and let go and smiled weakly "Go have fun but I'll be watching" Dom mentioned walking away.

Ryan and her shared a giggle before he took off her jacket and led her to where her friends were.

"Ava!" Jayla screened hugging her.

"Happy Birthday girl are you ready to party?" Ava yelled pulling her on the dance floor. Jayla followed her and swayed her hips to the music and her arms though her hair and the air. Ryan sat with some of his friends and watched her knowing Dom was watching somewhere.

Four hours later Ava was still dancing a storm but Jayla headed back to the table and sat next to Ryan, she took his arm and put it over her as she lay her head on his shoulder.

"Having fun?" he smiled down to her. She nodded and yawned snuggling in his chest.

"Is my dad watching us?" she whispered.

"No he left a while back but left your uncle Leon and Vince in charge"

Jayla turned her head and saw both her uncles in heavy lip locking, tongue wrestling situations.

"Did you want to go some where a little quieter?" Ryan whispered in her ear. She nodded "How about my back at my house" he asked with a little doubt in his voice. Jayla turned around to face him with a blank expression. Ryan's heart started to pump "If you want that's all I mean. I don't want to push you into anything but I do think we are ready"

Jayla thought about it for a second, she has been pushing him lately to get further and he always refused. This was what she wanted but now that is was here she was a little bit scared. A smile spread on her lips and started to kiss him on the lips, then up his face to his ear where she whispered "That would be the best birthday present"
