"Damn Han, you messed up big time." Twinkie said as he patted my shoulder.

"How she been Twinkie ?" I asked

"Honestly? Not great, Takashi been here a lot too. "

"What for?"

"You'd have to ask Ellie. Once a week he comes round, they go into the office and an hour later he leaves. Anyway I got some cars to fix. " Twinkie said as he left.

"Is that how every girl in Tokyo is gonna be welcoming you back?" Dom asked with a smirk on his face, as moving away from his car and looking around more. I shook my head and chuckled in reply, "No just her."

"Who is she?" Asked Gisele on my left.

"That is Ellie James. One of the finest mechanics and, if you can get here behind the wheel, racers. " I replied.

"Han, why don't you show me around?" Gisele said as she began walking towards me.

"How about tomorrow, I'll take you to my favourite place. But right now I'm gonna check on Ellie."

How dare he! Who does he think he is, gone for three months and I don't even get a hi. But then that's Han for you. Always has been. Only ever caring about himself and always, always getting distracted by pretty girls.

And me always stuck standing there, like a fool. And for what? A guy who obviously doesn't think of you the way you think of him. I doubt he would even remember what tomorrow is.

"Ellie" I said as I knocked on the door. "Can I come in?"

"Go .Away."

"Come on open the door."

"Just go away and find someone else to bother. Try Earl."

"Ellie!" I was getting frustrated.

"What!" She yelled through the door.

"Open the door we need to talk." I could hear the door unlock from the other side.

"We need to talk now, when it suits you. When you need something. Well guess what? I don't care what you have to say right now and I don't know when I will." She said walking past me to the garage.

I saw Twinkie, Earl and Reiko all standing around a car.

"Listen up." I said addressing all of them. "None of you are to say anything to Han about tomorrow. Are we clear? "

They replied in a chorus of yes.

"I'm going out I'll be back later." I said moving to my car. I didn't stick around to listen to the questions they were asking, I just got in and drove.

Next day. 9:00 am

My car pulled into the garage. I got out and made my way inside to the kitchen. There sat at the table was Han. "Where were you last night I was worried?"

"Clearing my head." I replied looking him square in the eyes.

"Where did you stay?"

"With some friends."

"Get dressed." Han said, I turned to head to my room with a smile on my face. He remembered. "Your opening up. I'm going out today with Gisele."

With those words my heart shattered. He didn't remember. I drew in a breath to steady my voice, "Where you going ?"

"I'm teaching her to drift on the mountains. "

And with that he not only shattered but demolished my heart. All I could do was head to the garage to open up. Half an hour later they left .

I was helping Ellie in the garage with some cars. I had to say I was surprised I hadn't met a girl this good with cars since Letty. But Ellie had skill. We had got to talkin and I could see why Han had her work in for him, she was a cool person but I could tell something was playing on her mind.

"What's got you with that look on your face?" I asked

"How Long have you know Han for?" She asked me.

"A long time. Why?"

" I've known him for three years. I thought we were close and now he's just proven that a pretty face beats friendship. "

I was about to answer her when a car pulled up in the garage and a tall Japanese man got out of a car with a box in his hand. Ellie was walking towards him.

"Takashi." She said, looking back at me "Dom this is Takashi. Takashi this is Dom." I nodded my head at him and got back to work.

"Where's Han I heard he's back?"

"He's not here."

"Really? I find it hard to believe he would leave you alone on your birthday." Takashi said handing Ellie the box. At that moment it all clicked in my head what Ellie was upset about and what she meant earlier.

"Yeah well you can search the whole place and he still won't be here. So what do you want."

"Your sister wants to celebrate with you." He replied.

"Well I'm sorry to say you'll have to tell Neele that I'm not in the mood to celebrate."

"When do you finish?"

"Takashi what part of I don't want to celebrate do you find hard to-"

"When?"

"One hour" she replied.

"Your sister and I will see you then." He said getting into his car.

Once he was gone Ellie put the box on the work bench and moved back to the car.

"So how old is the birthday girl?" I said not looking at her.

"Twenty-four. And don't say anything to Han." She said leaving the garage.

Gisele and I had fun on the mountain and I had to admit she was good at drifting. By the time we got back it was was about seven. The garage was empty except for Twinkie, Earl and Reiko. I walked over to them as Gisele went to her bike. As I was walking over I saw a large wrapped box on the work bench.

"What's in the box?"

"So it's not from you?" Earl asked

"No."

Dom walk in and answered the question we were all thinking. "Some guy called Takashi gave it to Ellie."

"Takashi, you kidin me?" Said Twinkie. "That's just great."

"Why was he here?" I asked.

"Ellie said not to tell you." Dom said.

"How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?" I asked "where is Ellie?"

"With Takashi." Dom said

" How can you not know why Takashi gave Ellie a present." Said Twinkie.

I stopped as I heard a car pull up outside the garage and a set of car doors open, followed by a set of high heals walking towards the garage.

As I walked into the garage all eyes were on me.

"What's going on ?"

"Why don't you tell me. What's this?" Han asked pointing at the present on the work bench.

"If you don't know." I said with a shrug walking to the bench and picking up the present.

"Why is everyone saying that? Someone just tell me."

"What's the date?"

"Twenty-seventh of June" he replied calmly.

"You know it's funny how I still know your birthday. April fourteenth." I said.
