Hey guys, thanks sooo much for reviewing this story so far!!!! Here's the 5th Chapter, hope you enjoy it.

"Girls, go on ahead of me. I'm not done yet!" Serena yells from her bathroom as she messes with her hair. "Are you sure?" Ami's voice asks coming through the bathroom door. "Yea, I'm positive Ames." Serena says back to her. "Okay, see you at the highway." Ami replies and walks away.

*Why do my thoughts have to become so muddled right before this race against Darien, who is in my house at this moment?! Why!!!! Why does all of this have to happen to me?!* Serena screams to herself as she starts putting on her make-up.

Raye's POV *I wonder what's going on between Darien and Serena. I hope it blows over quickly! What's taking her so long?* Raye asks herself as she finishes clearing the table of the breakfast plates.

"Bye Ray. Don't let Serena stay in there to long." Mina says as she walks out the door followed by the other 2 girls. "Okay, bye" Raye answers waving back to them and the door shuts behind them.

"Raye?" Darien asks as he walks into the kitchen just after the girls left. "Yea" she answers putting the last cup into the sink. "What time is it?" he asks as he tries to find a clock somewhere. "It's about 1:50, why?" says as she glances at her clock. "We should be heading over to my place, so I can pick up my car." He tells her. "Okay. I'll get Serena to take you over there when she gets out of her bathroom." Raye tells him. "Okay" he answers

Serena's POV "I better get a move on." Serena mutters to herself as she walks out of her bathroom and bumping into Darien. "Oh, I'm sorry Darien. Are you okay?" she asks with concern in her voice. "Yea, fine. When will you be ready?" he asks looking at her, "Umm, in probably 5 minutes or so. Why?" she asks wondering why his so eager to leave. "I just need to go by my house so I can get my car." He tells her still staring at her. "Oh yea, I forgot you don't have your car. Stupid me. I just got to get my suit on and refix my hair and I'll be ready." She says smiling at him and then disappears behind her bedroom door.

*Why do I always act like such a schoolgirl around him? It's not as if I like, like him, hopefully. I couldn't handle another relationship gone wrong and me on the receiving end of the heartache! I'm not going to fall in love with him at all costs!* she says defiantly to herself.

Then grabs her racing suit, puts it on quickly, rushes into the bathroom and redoes her hair, again.

"Raye, Darien. Are you guys ready?" Serena yells as she looks for her keys.

"Are you looking for this?" Darien asks grinning as he holds up her car keys, "Yea, can I have them?!" she asks, while holding out her hand impatiently. "Sure" he says and tosses them to her. "You ready she says as she begins to lock everything up. "Yea" he answers "I'm ready" Raye says reappearing from behind the Guest Bathroom. "Okay, come on then. I'm already going to get yelled at from Lita." Serena says as she dashes out the door.

Once they get to her car and everybody is in. "Darien, where do you leave?" she asks him, who was also seating right beside her. "Oh, in Park Hills" he says to her as she starts her car. "Park Hills, that's about 35-45 minutes away, right?" she asks as she messes with her communication piece and puts it over her ear and to her mouth, "Yea" he says, watching her. "Okay. Raye, do you need to go anywhere?" she asks wanting to make sure. "Nope. I'm fine." She says as she watches the 2 of them from the backseat, very closely.

"Sere, you there?" comes a mans voice over the piece. "Yea, who's this?" she asks as she pulls out of her apartment parking. "Jade" he says with an irritated voice. "Chill, cousin. I'm here. So what's up? I have a race today. You going to be there?" she asks forgetting about the other 2 in the car. "You do? Against who?" he asks surprised. "I'm not sure who all exactly. You'll have to ask Lita." Serena says as she puts in a C.D. in the sound system. "Okay, but I wouldn't miss it." He says happily. "Sammy's coming into town next week; make sure you take some time off. Okay?!" she tells him seriously as she takes a sharp curve.

Raye's POV *How is it that she's able to talk, mess with her sound system, and drive as fast as she's driving, but yet seem perfectly in control?* Raye says to herself.

*Damn, she listens to really loud music. How is it she doesn't get a headache from listening to it?!*

Serena's POV "Okay, bye Jade. See you at the race and you better not be late!" she says seriously. "Don't worries Sere, I wont miss it?" He says and cuts off.

"Damn, his always says that, but still manages to miss it." She says more to herself. "How can you do that?" Darien asks looking at her as if she was crazy. "Do what?" she asks him confused. "Talk to somebody and drive like this!" he says taken back. "I've always done this. Plus, my communication piece doesn't get in my way. This is how I've learned to drive." She answers looking over at him, and seeing many different emotions in his face and one of them being amusement,

*What's going on in his head? Why do I feel this way for him?! I've already promised myself that I'm not going to fall in love with him and I'm not, since I never break a promise!! I so hope that I can't!!*

"We're at you're place." Serena says breaking the silence that had fallen between them, but it was the comfortable silence, not the uncomfortable tension kind of silence.

*I still wish I knew what was going on in his head!! Does he even like me in that way?! Or not. Maybe I'm just over reacting.*

"Okay, I'll see you at the races. Raye are you going to ride with me or Serena?" he asked looking in the back of the seat and seeing her asleep. "Don't worry Darien. She can ride with me and I'll wake her up when I get to the races." Serena tells him when he gets out. "Okay" he says and then walks up to his house then suddenly the garage door goes up revealing many different brands, colors, even some of the same brand and color. "Damn!" she says under her breath as she scans some of those cars.

*His got to have tons of many to be able to afford that many cars in that many brands, some being really expensive and who knows what he has under that hood!*

Watching Darien get into one of the many cars, she speeds off. "I'm going to need to talk to Jade about this! Hopefully he can help me." She says to herself. Turning up the music, forgetting about Raye in backseat. Hoping that the music would drown out her thoughts, but they kept going back to Darien.

After a few minutes of driving, she finally arrives at the racing area. "Hey girl. Finally you're here!!" Mina says bouncing over to Serena. "Hey Mina." Serena says looking out her window to see her bouncing, smiling giddily, blonde hair, and corn-blue eyed friend. "I'll be over in a minute. Okay," Serena says as she gets out her car/ "Okay" Mina says as she walks over to a group that had already gathered around Lita's car.

"Raye!!! Get Up!!!!!" Serena shouts to the back of the car, but no luck. "I know what to do. I'm going to do what I do to Mina." Serena says to herself, as she gets a little sly grin on her face.

Restarting her car, she goes through her c.d.s and picks out the one that is the loudest. After looking, she finally found it and replacing that one for the one in her system "I hope Raye wont get to made." Serena says to herself as she sends a little prayer to what/whoever was up there. Then she blasts the speakers in the back to almost full max and then turns on the music. Suddenly jolting Raye from her quit and dream filled sleep.

Raye's POV "What the Hell!!!" Raye yells aloud as she is jolted out her peaceful dream and then realizes where she is. "Sorry about that, but it's the only way I could wake you up without making a scene." She hears somebody in front of her say, and then once she finally focused her eyes again, and saw who it was. "It's okay, Serena. Where's Darien?" she asks noticing he wasn't in front of her. "He'll be here in a little bit." She answers smiling. "Not that I want to be ruse, but you need to get out of my car!" she says still smiling, but with some seriousness in her voice.

*I wonder what happened between her and my brother when I was a sleep?!*

"Hmm, oh okay." Raye says and then climbs out of the car. "Tell the girls I'll be over there later." Serena tells her once she's out of the car. "Okay, no problem" Raye says smiling at her and then walks over to the group that she was guessing had Lita, Mina, and Ami in there.

*I'm going to have to ask Darien what happened between the 2 of them when he gets here!*

Serena's POV *How am I going to get him out of my head!!?? I so hope Jade really does make it here. I really need to talk to him!*

"Hey Sere!!!" says a really happy, cheery familiar man's voice from behind her. She turns around and is greeted by, a 6'3 California blonde, whose smiling a smile that's on the verge of taking over his whole face. "Hey Jade" she says suddenly smiling, once again. "What's you been doing, and why are were you acting all sulky!?" he asks suspiciously, "Just thinking, but after the race, I want to talk to you!!" she says happily but yet serious. "No problem. Yea know I'm always here for yea, even if that rat ass brother of yours isn't" he says jokingly. "You leave Sammy alone. His out 'exploring himself'" she says with one hand on her hip and the other one pointing a finger at him, "Okay, okay. Chill cuz!!!" he says with his hands up in a defeated gesture.

"Hey Jade!!!" Mina says running up to him and hugging him. "Um, hey Mina" he says trying to get her off him. "Hey Jade" Ami says coming up to them and smiles weakly at him as she sees Mina basically squeezing the breath out of him. "Hello Jade" Lita says coming up to him and pulls Mina off him. "Hey girls." He says as he breaths heavily from the strangling attempt. "Serena, you're going to be racing soon" Raye says as she comes up to them.

"Okay, thanks Raye" she says smiling. "Oh, Jade meet my friend Raye. Raye meet my cuz Jade." She says introducing them. "Nice to meet you Raye." He says looking at her. "Hey" she says smiling at her.

Serena turns around from the group and puts on her Rammstein c.d. into the sound system, pops up her hood and begins to clean, check and do whatever else needs to be done under her engine. Everybody soon leaves Serena alone, once they realized that she was now in her little 'car world'.

"I like what you've got under the hood" Darien says coming up behind her and eyes what all she's got under it. "Thanks," she says not even looking behind her. "Do you always listen to this kind of music?" Darien asks her as he keeps looking at all; she's got in her car. "Yeap, it's all I ever listen to" Serena says as she begins to grease something.

*Damn, Damn, Damn!!! Why me? Why me?!?!?! Please just walk away, Darien. Please!!!!*

"How come?" he asks with an intrigued look on his face. "Why do you ask? Never heard of a girl that listens to Hard Rock?" she asks with a smirk on her face that Darien could see very clearly.

"You got that right. All the girls I know listen to Rap, Hip-Hop, Pop, and even some Jazz, but no Hard Rock, or any kind of Rock for that matter." He says to her truthfully. "Well, that's why I like to be different, plus I can't stand Rap or Hip- Hop, and Pop is just way to babyish and filled with idiotic ideas that are so unrealistic!" she says turning around.

*Since his not going to go away, I guess I can at least look at the guy, but what one look can do to me. I'm afraid to even think of the concept.*

"Why do you say that?" he asks fully intrigued. "Well, I mean, you don't really believe in the whole concept of 'love at first sight'? There's just things that they sing about, that I don't believe." Serena says nonchalantly.

*I learned that 'love at first sight' is nothing but a big fluke. Love will only leave you heartbroken and emotionally unstable!*

"I believe in love, but not 'love at first sight'. I think you need to really get to know the person before you can say you love them." Darien says seriously. "Hmm, you're the first person that I've heard to say that." Serena says looking at his eyes.

*God damn, his eyes are so gorgeous! Wait, what the hell am I thinking?! I didn't not just think that!!!*

"Sere, when are you going to go to the starting line?" Jade asks coming up to them and without realizing it breaking up the whole thing between Serena and Darien. "In a minute Jade. I'm almost done fixing up my car." Serena says smiling at him. "Will you check over it for me" Serena adds.

*I'm glade that Jade's finally coming back around. Ever since Beryl left him, his been putting himself out a lot. I've missed him.*

"Sure. Where do you want to meet up after the races are over?" Jade asks as he starts to look into the engine. "Um, how about my house? I'm not really in the mood for a club after last nights hangover still freshly clear in my mind." Serena tells him smiling meekly. "How much did you drink?" Jade asks whipping around and looking at her. "Just 8 Ice Teas and 2 of those drinks that Raye had last night." Serena says quietly, "And what all was in Raye's drink?" "Just about 4 Pina` Coladias and 4 Bloody Maries." Darien says speaking up. "Do what?!" Jade says with his about to pop out. "You've never drunk that much, no wait I take that back, you have but not since Mardi Gra last year." He adds. "And you do know of the kind of strings I had to pull to even get to chief to clear all of those D.U.I's and charges from your records?! I still have to suck up to him!" he says starting to glare at her. "Okay, okay. Chill Jade. I'm fine and Darien drove me home last night, and we didn't get into trouble last night." Serena says trying to calm her cousin down. "Thanks a lot Darien!" she says glaring daggers at him. "I'm going to the finish line, now." She says slamming the hood down and getting into her car. "I'm sorry Serena. I didn't mean to get you into trouble." Darien says coming up to her window. "Yea, yea. I'll see yea later." She says waving him away, and rides over to them starting line.

Okay, that's it for the 5th Chapter. Let me know what you think. I'm also thinking about starting to put Darien's POV in here to, also going to start a couple's poll. The guys are: Diamond, Jade, Greg, Seiya, or if you want me to bring in somebody. Just let me know.
