Chapter 20

It was Thursday night. Sariah was led in bed tossing and turning, she couldn't get to sleep what ever position she lay in seemed uncomfortable.

The night before her big race on the out skirts had come so quickly.

It had been a really strange week for Sariah.

She had hardly spoken to anyone in the house, Conner had made numerous attempts to speak to her alone as had Letty.

She hadn't been feeling well all week and had been sick almost every day but not yet today. She prayed that she would feel ok on tomorrow because she would be out all day practicing with Hector and out all night racing.

Flashback

'I'm 17! I think I can make decisions like that for myself.' Sariah shouted as she stomped up the stairs.

'Get back down here now!' Dom roared

Sariah stood in front of where Dom was sat on the couch; he stood up and towered over her.

'I don't care whether you 17 and whether you THINK you can make decisions for yourself, the bottom line is you come home when I say, you go out when I say and if you don't like my rules then that's tough!' it sounded like He almost enjoyed saying that last part

'Got that?' he shouted at her making her jump.

'Yeah I got it' Sariah whispered fighting back her tears.

Sariah got up to go and get a drink of water from the kitchen all the time thinking how back then she wished she had just told Dom to shove it! She was old enough to go to the races what gave him the right to stop her! She got angry thinking about it as she walked into the kitchen she didn't see him.

'Couldn't sleep either?' Dom asked making Sariah jump out of her skin

'Shit me! Jesus Christ Dominic! Are you trying to give me heart failure.' Sariah scolded him

'What are you doing sat here in the dark anyway?' she asked as she winced at the brightness when she switched on the light.

'Just thinking.' He sighed

'Huh yeah bout what?' she asked cautiously

'Nothing really just life.' He whispered

As Dom said this Sariah suddenly felt queasy and ran to the sink and started vomiting.

'Are you ok?' Dom said as he held Sariah's hair back from her face.

'Yeah i'm fine I think I have some sort of stomach flu, its been coming and going for the last couple of weeks' Sariah said as she sat down at the kitchen table with her head in her hands.

'Have you been to the doctors?' Dom asked walking around the table

'No i'm sure I'll be ok, I just need to go and get some sleep.' She said as she walked through to her room.

'Sariah hang on a minute.'

'Yeah?'

'I need to say something that's been on my mind since that night I beat you at the races'

'Why did you think you could beat me?' he said with arrogance in his voice.

'Like I said the day I came back to LA Dominic, I'm not a child anymore and you can no longer treat me like one. So don't ask me stupid questions.'

With that Sariah walked into her bedroom and flopped down on the bed.

Dom went back upstairs to his room and climbed back into bed next to Letty.

'What took you so long?' Letty groaned

'Bumped into Sariah and had a little chat with her.'

'Oh yeah?' Letty said rolling over to face Dom

'Look don't worry about her go back to sleep.' Dom said getting agitated

'Jees I was only asking.' Letty pushed away from Dom and drifted off to sleep

Dom laid awake for most of the night thinking about the plan him and Conner had made about setting her up with someone. He decided on a different course of action and would start first thing in the morning.

Unbeknownst to Dom, Sariah was making her own plans and it would all depend on the following night.

I didn't really enjoy writing that chap so sorry if you think it's a bit rubbish. I have a great plan on the direction this story is going but am finding it hard to get there any writers suggestions?
