It was about an hour before Jesse got home and Dom proved to be right. I could hear Jesse bounding up the stairs at least two steps at a time. I was sitting at the desk working on the computer.
"Hey!" He said, coming through the door out of breath.
"Hi" I stopped typing and turned towards his stooped figure. His green eyes, which were always filled with some sort of emotion, framed by his blonde hair never ceased to leave me breathless if I looked at him unexpectedly.
"So you're coming tonight?" He asked peeling his shirt off and going over to the closet.
"Yeah." I replied watching his back. He found a shirt, pulled it over his head and turned around to look at me.
"You don't have to if you don't want to you know." He said coming over and kissing the top of my head.
"I know but I don't have anything else to do." I replied, shrugging and standing up.
"Okay then, lets go!" He said. He looked like a little kid who had just won a bunch of chocolates. It was cute and it made me smile.
We climbed in the cars me with Jesse and Mia with Brian. When we arrived at the races, I felt my breath catch in my throat. I hadn't been here in so long. As I opened the door and stepped out of the car, I was met with blaring music and tons of people. Dom was right, again, I was going to worry.
The skanks surrounded Jesse and the rest of the boys like there was no one else. I shook my head and walked around to the front of the car, hopping up on the hood. Damnit. I mentally cursed myself for not bringing a sweatshirt with me because I was freezing. I felt a hand on my back and then Jesse was beside me.
"Sorry." He said, moving to sit up beside me.
I waved it off. "Don't worry about it, I've been here before I know what happens." Sure it scared me a little bit knowing that he could pick any of these girls but I couldn't do anything about it. Dom was off in the distant but was motioning for Jesse to come over and check his car out.
"I've got to go check that but I'll be back ok?" He asked hopping off and standing in front of me. I nodded and watched him sprint down the path to Dom and disappear under the hood of the car. I guess I wasn't paying attention because I didn't notice when this big guy with tattoos all over and skanks hanging all over him walked up. He was vaguely familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. "So your Jesse's bitch, huh?" Asked on of the girls on his left side. I ignored them knowing it wasn't going to get me anywhere saying something back.
The big guy walked a little closer to me, looking me up and down. "My you sure are a pretty thing aren't you?" He said, giving me a Cheshire grin.
"Fuck off." I replied, jumping down from the hood and starting moving towards Dom's car. He came a little closer to me grabbing my waist in the process. All the sudden the face clicked. I didn't know his name but I had beaten him in a race the day I found out my mom had died.
"You slut" He got out before burying his fist in my stomach. I doubled over trying to control the urge to throw up right then and there. He laughed before doing it once more. This time I couldn't hold it. A mixture of blood and food particles shot out of mouth all over the ground. I crumbled to the ground and received a kick in the gut. This was too much I was going to pass out soon and I knew it.
I tried to grab his foot but my vision was blurred. I heard yelling and then the guy was ripped off of me. I was coughing up blood by this time. I couldn't control the shaking of my body. It was convulsing all on its own no matter how much I tried to still it. "Oh shit!" Someone said above me. I felt a strong grip on my hand and someone lifting me off of the ground. Like music blaring from a stereo someone was screaming "COPS, COPS!!!"
"Hey!" He said, coming through the door out of breath.
