Note: Sorry for not updating sooner. I had no idea here to set this but finally I set it after "The Note". This is from X's point of view.
I felt confused by everything happening in my life. Sybelle had been my only real friend for the past few days. After the note from dad, she was the only one I could talk to. It was like is understood what I was going through. My father left me and it felt like he was only coming back for Speed. Sybelle said she knew what it felt like. She spent her whole life being loved for what she could do and not who she was. She told me things that I knew she never told anyone else. It was like only we could truly understand each other.
She had been here only a few weeks and I felt like...like she was the only one I would ever need in my life. I couldn't image my future without her somewhere in it. I really enjoyed being with her. Every second with her was like the rash of racing. Maybe that was why I loved our time together. It stopped being so much about how much I wanteed her and more on how good she made me feel as person. I may have been slowly losing my fans to Speed but I was gaining myself through Sybelle.
"Hey X!" I turned to look at Sybelle. She smiled warmly at me. Her black shirt was a mess and so were her blue jeans. "I finished my car last night."
"So, that's why you're a mess?" She looked down at herself. She didn't know how she looked. She made a face and cursed.
"I forget to change." She sighed and bit her lower lip. "Anyway...the car is perfect. I can't wait to race her."
"I thought you gave up racing after your mother died." The statement shocked her a little. She laughed it off and then I got it. The anniversary of her mothers death. "Your racing on the day your mother died." She nodded her head.
"Yes, I'm doing it in honor of her. My first race in a year and I'm going to win. Because I always win."
"What race are you entering? I would like to watch you in action." She smiled wickedly at me. Like she knew something I didn't.
"You're just going to have to wait and see." She was playing a game with me.
"Oh, will I now?" She wasn't going to tell me today or any time soon, but I would have fun trying to guess which race. There shouldn't be too many races in July. "So, are you going to the Saturn's Rings race?"
"You know the race I'm racing in is kind of like Saturn's Rings." She was giving me hints. At least she was making it fair.
"So, what do I get if I guess the right race"
"Whatever you want? I could make more things for your car. You said you like that ray gun I made you a few weeks ago. I could make more things like that."
"Yeah, that would be awesome." The ray gun was a big help when I was being chased during that fake note stunt. "Okay. You're on." And if she did make new parts and upgrades for my car, I would spend more time with her.
"You know that you're never going to get it right." I think the only reason she challenged me was to get my mind off of Annalise and my dad. In away, it was just what I needed.
By the day of Saturn's Rings, I still didn't know what race she was entering. The month was half way over too. It was July 17 and Sybelle was no where to be found. I didn't feel right starting a race without talking to her. In a way, she became my luck charm. I felt a little unsure about race today. I was... worried about her. In the past week, Sybelle had become... sadder...
I hurried off to the track. My car sat next to a beautiful car. It was mostly black with purple lines running along the side of the car. The front had a picture of a girl. The woman looked pale and dead. Her dark hair flowed out in waves. The picture remind of Sybelle.
"Do you like my car X?" That was Sybelle's voice. I was racing her today. "I told you my race would be like Saturn's Rings." She flashed me a smile but her eyes seemed
