A Race To Remember

I do not own Hollywood Heights or any of its characters.

Laceylou82's challenge of the week: "Ready, Set, Go!"

A/N: I had an idea for this do decided to give it a try. Might turn this into a short story. And for future references I do not have a twitter. Anyways, Enjoy!

Loren Tate is in the last few months of her senior year at West Valley Charter. Loren and her friend Melissa (who are both 18) decide to go out this Friday night to a new indoor racing track that just opened in West Hollywood. Both of the girls are exhausted from all of the hard work they have done over the last four years and decided that tonight is going to be a girls night out.

Eddie Duran is living the good life. He's 21 years old and the son of the infamous 80's group MK, Max and Katy. He is still grieving his mothers death from two years ago and is still picking up the pieces for both him and his father. Tonight though, he wants to put everything behind him. His best friend Ian, is back in LA for good, after his career as a photographer took off. Eddie and Ian are both single and ready to get back into the dating game. But tonight, they want to have a simple guys night out. Or so they think...

Loren's POV

I'm so relieved that I am almost done with high school. It has literally been the only thing I have focused on. Well school and song writing to be exact. I love to write songs and to sing them too. I've never shown anyone a small piece of what I have written because I have a gigantic fear of performing in front of people. But when I write the songs and sing them to myself, I feel complete and whole. I feel proud of myself not because I think I'm a good songwriter but because I'm not bottling everything in anymore. That became the problem. A little after my fourth birthday, my Dad abandoned me and my Mom. I've always felt that I was the one who had to take care of everyone around me and take care of everything that needed to be done in the house. I didn't have the normal childhood that most people my age did. I felt that I needed to be an adult for my Mom, that she needed to have someone else in the house who is responsible. But I learned that I am only young once. I need to live my life and be the person I could be proud of. But I'm putting all that behind me because tonight I am going to have fun. I'm not saying I've never had fun but I just want to let go for a night and forget about everything. Mel and I are meeting up at this new indoor race track that just opened in West Hollywood. Melissa is my best friend and I honestly do not know what I would do without her. She is the spark that I need and the person who tells me what I need to hear exactly when I need it.

I jump off my bed, grab all my things and head out of my room. I leave my Mom a note telling her my plans for the night and when I'm finished I leave my house and get in my car heading to the race track. Something in the Air comes on and I sing along to the voice of Eddie Duran. Oh Eddie Duran is the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen. From what I've read he is also really down-to-earth too. I wish I had a chance to meet him but that will probably never happen. I pulled into the parking lot and saw Mel already waiting by the entrance. I get out of the car and head towards her.

Loren: Hey Mel!

Mel: Oh my gosh Lo! There you are! I've been waiting for you for like 15minutes.

Loren: Oh calm down, I've waited longer for you before.

Mel: Ah I guess that's true. Well anyways lets get inside I am so sick of waiting out here

Loren: Yeah I'm actually excited, I heard it's really fun.

Mel: Yeah we get to race and maybe we can find ourselves a couple of hotties along the way.

Loren: Is that the reason you agreed to come with me?

Mel: Of course not! Well that's one of the reasons. I did it because you are my best friend who wanted to have some fun. And I am always up for having fun.

Loren laughing: You're up for anything that comes your way.

Mel laughing: That's true too.

Mel and I walked to the opening gate and paid the entrance fees. We walked into the building and couldn't believe at how big it was. There were several different tracks that you could race and a bunch of race cars lined up. The crazy thing was that this was only one of the buildings there were four more that you could race in. We raced most of the tracks in the main building and we both decided to check out the other tracks in the next building.

Mel: Oh my gosh Lo! This is so much fun!

Loren laughing: I know! Come on let's get in line for the one over there. No one is in that one.

Mel and I practically ran to the line so we could be the only ones on the track. We were waiting in line while the guy was lining up the karts for us. While the worker was doing that, two guys came up behind in line and were keeping to themselves just like us. When Mel and I were talking, I looked behind her for a quick second and locked eyes with one of the guys right behind her. He gave me a nice smile that I reciprocated. I thought to myself maybe this would be 'A Race To Remember'...

Hope you like this! And sorry I don't have a twitter and don't plan on getting one. Anyways this will be a short story of maybe ten chapters, I don't know yet.

Leddie meets in the next chapter and tell me what you think is going to happen. IWEMA(my main story) will be updated sometime this week. Talk Soon.

XoXo,
