"What happened to my car?" I asked, opening the door on my side.
"Totalled," Jake laughed. "I think someone drove it back to the warehouse. It wouldn't even start so they had to tow it."
"Lovely," I muttered. I cleared my throat and saw Paul looking at me. "What?" I snapped.
He shook his head, "Nothing."
I didn't believe him but didn't push it.
"Alright, what happened while I was gone?" I asked Sar.
"Kif and Steph raced. Kif won."
"Steph's here?" I smirked. "Oh, this is going to be fun."
"Bella!" I heard a nasally voice chime.
"Speaking of the devil," I winked to Sar. "Steph," I said in a fake preppy voice. "It's like, so like, nice to see you!"
She glared at me and pushed her platinum blonde hair out of her face. "I do not talk like that."
"But you look like you do," I countered.
"Like you're one to talk!" She laughed. "You can't even walk properly. And yet you sit here, like you own this place."
"That's because she does, Steph," I heard someone say from behind me. I whipped my head around and saw Serp. Great. "Don't intimidate her. She can make you leave."
I smirked and looked at Steph's shocked expression, "Did you just take her side?" she asked in disbelief. She completely ignored me now and walked over to Serp. "You took her side over me! That's like insane!"
'Like totally," I called from my seat. "Like, you should totally, like, kick his ass."
Steph shifted to me and flipped me off before taking her ring off her finger and shoving it into Serp's chest. "Let's hope you can get in check. If so, call me and I'll consider getting back together with you."
Serp's expression never changed from annoyance as she walked away.
As soon as she drove off, Serp turned towards me and slid the ring in his pocket.
"Well, that was long overdue," I told him. "I should have brought my popcorn. Damn."
He sat down in the seat next to me, which was in the back, and played with his fingers.
"Sorry about your leg."
I shrugged, "Eh, I'll be better in a month. The doc said I couldn't do anything but that doesn't mean I'll listen."
"You should," Serp said, snapping his head to look at me. "You can die if you don't."
"What do you care?" I snapped. "You were the one that challenged my title. Why the fuck would you do that?"
Serp shrugged, "I wanted to show the crews that you were a worthy driver once I lost on purpose, but I didn't plan on a wipeout."
"Obviously," I muttered.
"Well, once they saw that you were worth it to keep, they wouldn't go against you so much."
I smirked, "It was because of you that I left in the first place."
"Why's that?" he asked.
I shrugged, "The tattoo I got that night. That was what caused me to leave."
"What about it? It's just a tattoo."
"I promised my crew I'd never join your ranks, yet I did. Forcefully, yes, but I couldn't face them after said tattoo became laid on me. I'm over it now, but I think its just a little thing that's apart of me."
"I'm sorry," He said in a quiet voice.
"What's done is done," I shrugged, "It's fine. Now, you up for something?"
"Depends on what you have in mind."
I looked him over, "Can't do that, but-"
"Why not?"
I bit my lip, "Uh, no reason, just taking a break for a few days."
"Uh huh," he said, smirking. "No scares lately?"
"What?" I asked playing stupid. "No! Of course not!"
"Right," he nodded, "And you haven't had sex all week because you're going celibate?"
"No," I said, but it was obvious I was lying. He sighed.
"With who?" He seemed defeated.
"Uh, it doesn't matter. I'll handle myself," I snapped.
He held his hands up in a defensive possition, "Fine, I'm just asking."
I sighed, "Sorry. So, you and Steph seem to be over."
"Thank god," he muttered.
"And why's that?" I questioned.
"Because," he said slowly, "I sorta lost it with her a while ago, but I'd rather her leave me, than me leave her and she's breaking up all my future girls and I."
"Makes sense," I nodded. "So, you must be keeping me company now that I'm cripled, your car's totalled, and you feel guilty."
"Maybe," he laughed.
I rolled my eyes and lounged onto the chair. The night passed fast, and soon we were on our way home. We entered the garage and I saw my car, completely ruined.
"This is my project of the month," I sighed. "It'll keep me busy while I heal."
"Do you want help?" Deo asked.
I shook my head. "I got it. It'll give me something to do while you guys go out racing, if I can't race on some days."
