"What do you mean were the hell is Taylor? Who the hell are you?" Ali stood there going redder and redder by the second. She knew what was happening but didn't want it to.

All the guys looked at the two women in the room. Adam didn't know what to do.

"Kelly what are you doing here? We told you never to come around here!" Adam said giving her a dirty look.

"Yeh well I've news for Taylor so he better hurry up and get his ass back here soon."

"I thought you were away to Miami. For good." Adam said back to her.

"I was but something changed my plans." She said rubbing her bump. "I thought I should come back and let everyone know what's going on." Her tone was very evil; she knew that she was just making trouble.

"Look I don't know who the hell you are but I suggest you get out of my house very soon." Ali was trying to control her temper.

"Yeh well this isn't the first time I've been here you know." She said looking straight at Ali.

"Look Kelly just leave we don't need this now." Adam just wanted her to leave so there would be no trouble.

"You don't need this! And you think I do. It's time Taylor faced up to the consequences of what he does. He's not getting away with it this time."

"Yes he is." Ali yelled. "He's dead, how the hell is he supposed to do anything."

She turned away and walked into the kitchen and out the back door. She felt for her keys in her pocket and took them out whilst walking to her car. She got in and reversed out of the driveway before speeding off down the road. She was in total shock.

She knew Taylor had cheated on her once but that wasn't recently. He had been cheating on her recently and got the girl pregnant. And the guys knew about, well, at least Adam did. She felt so humiliated. She grabbed her mobile of the passenger seat and dialled Brian's phone number.

"Hello." He said deeply down the phone.

"Hey Brian its Ali."

"Oh hey u ok?"

"Not really but I don't want to talk about it. What time is your flight on Friday?"

"Leaves at 1pm. Why?"

"I'll meet you there ok? I've decided I'm going to go."

"Awesome sounds great. Well you'll need to be there by at least 10:30 for check in and stuff. Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No it's fine I'll just get a taxi. I'll meet you in the departures lounge at 10:30 ok?"

"Yeh but what's brought this on?"

"I just need a change of scenery for a while."

"Ok then I'll see you there. Bye"

"Bye"

She couldn't believe she'd just done that, but she couldn't stay here now. Too much was happening around her and she couldn't cope with it.

It was bad enough the first time Taylor had cheated on her but this time she couldn't even be annoyed at him because he wasn't here.

If he had cheated more than once how many times was it? Did everyone know apart from her? She would never be able to back to race night because she would feel so humiliated. Maybe this was why Taylor had been a bit off before he died. Maybe he knew she was coming back.

Before she'd realised it she had drove to their local bar and had parked in the car park. She hadn't even planned to go here but she was here now and was planning on staying. She got out of her Celica and went into the bar and started drinking. It was 5pm.

BACK AT THE HOUSE

"Kelly why the hell did you come back. You had no right. You're just making more trouble."

"Well I didn't know he was dead. How would I know that?"

"Still even if he wasn't why would you come back? He told you to stay in Miami. God he was practically paying for you to live there."

"Well Adam you're not so innocent here. You knew all about it."

"This has nothing to do with me so don't even try that one. This is all on you; you knew that coming back would just cause problems."

"Yeh well maybe I didn't want to live my life on some one else's terms."

"So what. Did you expect to come back here and Taylor would take you into his house and throw Ali out so you and he could bring up your child together. You knew that would never happen. He was totally in love and he would never have left Ali."

"Well he wasn't complaining when he was with me"

"Just leave Kelly no one wants you here and there is nothing here for you anymore."

"But what am I going to do. I need money or something."

"Well there's nothing for you here anymore so go get it off some other man."

She just stood there with her mouth open.

"But you can't do this."

"I can now get out. NOW!"

She grabbed her bag and left. Adam just stood there looking at the ground. Johnny spoke up.

"What the hell Adam. How could you know about that and not tell her."

"It wasn't up to me to tell her. And besides for what I knew Kelly wasn't coming back. Where did Ali go?"

"How would we know she just left?"

"Right well I'm going to bed. Wake me up if she rings or comes home ok?"

"Right ok." Johnny said as Adam turned around and walked up the stairs to his room.

The three guys just stayed in the living room watching TV and talking about what had happened. Everyone felt the same way - they all couldn't believe that Taylor had done what he'd done but they couldn't be annoyed at him, it just didn't seem right.

They watched TV for a couple of hours before Johnny, Jason and Chris decided to head to bed. Craig was left by himself and was watching TV when he heard a car driving down the road.

He could tell it was Ali's car. He just knew by the way it sounded. He got up and was watching out the window waiting for it to come into sight. She came flying around the corner onto their street. She was doing at least 50mph coming round the corner. She sped up the street and pulled a handbrake turn into the driveway, but just hit the back of her car on the little wall around the garden.

She parked the car and got out to see the damage. Craig had come out of the house. She was on her knees looking at the dent in the right arch of her car.

"Shit." She kept muttering under her breath.

"Ali what on earth are you doing. You were flying around that corner." He walked over to were she was now standing beside her car. He could smell the alcohol on her.

"Ali what are you doing drinking and driving. Have you completely lost your mind?"

"Probably and what has it got to do with you anyway. Just leave me alone."

"No I won't just leave you alone. Look I know today has been a terrible day but things will get better. You have to believe me."

"Why would I believe you? Why would I trust any one any more? Everyone I trust ends up hurting me."

"Not everyone."

"Yes everyone. My dad, Taylor, Adam, some of my friends. The list goes on. I've learnt not to trust any one now. I just want to move on and forget about everything and everyone, including Taylor and his little tart."

"Come into the house Ali. You need to go to bed. You've just had too much to drink."

"No I haven't I'm telling you what I really feel like. And I'll go to bed when I decide I want to."

She locked her car and walked into the house and to her room. She fell asleep almost the second her head hit her pillow.

When she got up the next morning the house was empty. All the guys were obviously already away to the garage. She decided she wasn't going in today; she couldn't be around the guys right now.

She went into the kitchen and got some toast for her breakfast. She looked at the clock. It was almost 11am. She went into the living room and watched TV for a while before going back up stairs. She got showered and dressed and headed out into town.

She got into town just after 12:30 and headed straight for the travel agents. She walked in and stood in the queue to see a sales assistant. She waited for about 15minutes before she sat down in front of the tanned, petite woman sitting behind one of the desks.

"Good afternoon. How can I help you?" She said in a very polite and friendly tone.

"I need to book a flight to America please."

"Ok what airport would you like to fly into?"

"Mm I'm not sure what's it's called. I need to fly into L.A."

"Ok that's fine. And when would you like to fly out?"

"I need on the Friday flight at 1pm."

"O ok let me just have a look." Ail sat there for about a minute while the woman looked up the information on the computer.

"Ok that's no problem. There are three seats left in economy and one in business. Were would you like to sit?"

"Economy will do thanks."

"Ok and what is the return date?"

"I don't know yet I just need a one way ticket please."

"Ok that's fine. The total price for that is £563.76. How would you like to pay?"

"I'll pay cash." She opened her bag and took out £300 and handed it to the woman. "There's £300 can I leave in the rest tomorrow?"

"Yes that's fine." The woman took the money out of her hand and counted.

"Because the flight is in three days you won't get a ticket issued. When you arrive at the airport on Friday you need to go and collect your tickets before you check in. Ok? Any questions?"

"No that's fine thank you. I'll leave that money in tomorrow." She got up off her seat and walked out of the travel agents. She couldn't' believe she'd just done that. She usually wasn't so impulsive.

She walked around town for a bit buying some clothes and stuff to take with her. She decided to travel light and so was just going to buy some stuff out there.

She got back to the house about 4pm and took her stuff up to her room. She decided she wasn't going o tell the guys she was going. They would just try to change her mind. She would just leave a note on Friday morning before she left.

She decided the next morning that she would go to work for the next two days. The guys had said nothing about Monday night but there was constant tension in the house. And besides anything else she had to go into the garage if she wanted to get her car fixed.

She left for work as usual for the two days and carried on as if nothing was happening. The guys weren't suspicious of anything and she wanted to keep it that way.

When she got up on Friday morning she told the guys that she wasn't feeling very well and that she was going o take the day off. The all said that was fine and they would see her tonight. Little did they know?

Once they had left at 8 am she ran upstairs and grabbed her suitcase from under her bed. She starting packing and was done by about 9. She had a quick shower and got dressed. She did her make up and hair and finished packing a few things. She found her passport and took £5000 out of her safe. She hadn't had time to get in changed to dollars so she would just have to do it over there. Once she had checked everything was ready to go she rang a taxi. It was 9:45 and she had to be in the airport in 45 minutes. She didn't think she would have time for a taxi now so she decided just to take her car and leave it in the car park. Once she got to L.A she would ring the guys anyway and one of them could collect it.

She packed her stuff into her car and went back into the house. She left the guys a note saying that she was going to L.A for a while and not to worry about her because she would be back soon.

She locked the doors for the last time and left. She got to the airport about 30 minutes later and met Brian in the departures lounge after checking in.
