Chapter 1

The machine that roared between her legs was the only sound she could hear, that and the music that came thumping into her ears from the hidden earphones. She couldn't dwell on it anymore, it took most of her concentration to hold the bike at that fast of a speed, but one thing she knew for sure was that she…was lost.

'Great,' she berated herself, 'Fucking lost in the US, way to go loser. I think I saw a North Carolina sign awhile back.'

She sighed deep, but it was immediately caught and ripped away by the wind. Her favorite series of songs came up next on her mp3 player. She braced herself for the onset of flash backs, she learned to deal with them when she was at home, but now she was alone…on the road...going at neck breaking speeds, and she didn't care at the moment.

The Reason by Hoobastank came over her earphones…she frowned a bit as she eased up a bit on the throttle and watched the shadows from the clouds skim over the hot black pavement. That was his song for her, he played it for her on their 4 month anniversary and the day they broke up.

Flashback – Her POV

'Babe, you know I'm not good with words, hell half the time I fuck it up, but this song is for you and I want you to listen.'

'Ok Travis.' I smiled at him. I met Travis awhile back, and he was messed up pretty bad, drugs, thrill seeking, bottled up crap that hadn't been dealt with but eventually we became friends. He slowly started to change for the better, he got his GED, a good job and was doing awesome.

The song was The Reason by Hoobastank…I smiled as I listened to the lyrics…yup it suited us…wait…what was that line?

"So I have to say, before I go, I just wanted to you to know that I found a reason for me, to change who I used to be, the reason to star over new, and the reason is you."

Go? Go where?

'Umm Travis I get the change part but where are you going?' I asked in trepidation.

He sighed deep, took my hand and then spoke, 'Dawn I love you for all that you did for me, but there's someone new.'

I snatched my hand away quickly and stared at him hard.

'Fine whatever Travis, glad I could help, that's me the girl who's one of the guys and helps everyone with their fucking issues. Fuck you and your little gaggle of girls.' I spat at him.

I stormed out of his place and jumped on my purple 2008 Yamaha YZF – R6 and sped off onto the highway home.

End of Flashback

Dawn was her name; her mother named her that because she was born right at sunrise, the beginning of a new life. She stood tall for a girl at 5'10", her body toned and muscled in all the right spots. She had to be for the life she lead, never knowing what was going to come around, she had to hold her own against the boys, from drinking contests to leg wrestling to brawls. She held their respect even if she was a girl; she in their eyes was one of the boys, and a constant in their lives.

'Some fucking life, never been kissed, always one of the boys...fuck that!'
