As Right, As It Feels?- Chapter 6- Victory Prevails
"jack, come on, stop, we have to get to the track! today's the big day!" i say, trying to get my boyfriend- ish, off my neck and into the shower to get dressed. "alright, kimmy, but only because it was you who asked" he replies with a smirk, and getting up off the hamock, as i do the same. we both went our seperate directions, jack to the shower, and me to go get clothes considering as of right now im only in a towel. I get to my 'room' and decide on wearing lightwash, very ripped, skinny jeans, a black muscle tank with a white sports bra underneath, and black studded combat boots, my hair down and straghtened, just some lip balm, mascara, and concealer for make up, and diamond stud earrings. I get dressed, and go back to the kitchen, i grab a red monster and an apple for breakfast, and sit on my red beanbag, waiting for jack. "let's go precious! you've got 5 minutes before i leave without ya!" i yell, throwing my applecore in the trash. next thing i know, here comes jack in wearing skater jeans, black vans, and a black t-shirt with my race logo on it. "why are you wearing that shirt?" i ask him curiously, know only my pit crew wears that shirt. his smile turns into a smirk when he replies, "you'll see" which instantly get's me curious. "ugh, fine! got get something for breakfast so we can leave" i grumble, stomping out of the tiny house. i go to the small garage, and get my four wheeler out, i get on a put my headphones in, as jack get's on behind me, i play music to pass the time of getting there.
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 1]
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Verse 2]
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is a four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
[Chorus]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
[Outro 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned
OK, I KNOW THIS IS IN THE MIDLE OF THE CHAPTER BUT I KNOW NOT MANY PEOPLE READ AUTHORS NOTES, SO I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT I STILL HAVE STORIES UP FOR ADOPTION, YOU CAN EITHER PM ME OR KIK ME AT 23TayTay023 for any stories you are interested in, i will say yes or no on whether that are available or not. ok back to the story!
We had finally arrived at the track, i decided to be funny, so i drove the four wheeler into the track and down to 'the tunnels' which pretty much, how we get down to the track, where the normal entrance is where the stands are. now that jack is holding onto me for dear life, i pull into my pit with an abrupt stop, as i hop off with a pep in my step, as jack was gasping for air. "so, jackie, you gonna tell me why you're wearing my pit crew shirt, now?" i ask, facing him with my arms crossed, and a smirk on my face. he just smiles, "because i'm your assistant crew chief" he replies, "what?! i don't even have a lead crew-" i yell, being interrupted by a voice behind me, "i think someone owe's me an apology..." the mysterious voice trails off. i slowly turn around, knowing who that voice belongs to, i see brody and run up to him, jumping up and wrapping my arms and legs around him, as his arms go around the small of my back. "oh my god, brody, i'm so so so sorry" i cry into his neck (not really cry but you get it...) "i missed you so much!" i finish. I love him like a brother and the time we had apart really did hurt me. "it's alright kimmy, i missed you too" he whispers into my neck, as the track begins to get busy with other competitiors. i drop done from hanging onto brody, and just grin from ear to ear. "well, as your lead crew chief, i'd advise you go get some practice in, before someone else uses the track" he says, "good idea, but doesn't my car need fixing?" i ask him. i know while i was in the hospital, my car was getting repaired, painted, and all that, but now it just needs tires and gas which takes about 20 minutes. "done!" i hear a latino voice peer through. i whip my head around to see jac's entire pitcrew, milton, jerry, calvin (OC), brody, and of course Jack. "oh my god, what are you guys doing hee?!" i shout with excitement, "well, ms kimmy," jack starts, tapping my nose, "meet your new pit crew" he finishes, and im sure my eyes are as big as saucer plates, "b-but, jack, i thought you were racing today too! this is your crew, not mine!" i say, not that i mind that they'd be my pitcrew, they're amazing, but they're jack's and i thought jack was racing. "no. not today kimmy. this is your year, mine was last and the year before that" he says, wrapping his arms around my waist, as i smile. i press my lips gently against his for a small kiss before i go get into my fire suit and on the track. "as much as it may not be fair, thank you! i love you!" i mumble against his lips as a small smile grazes my lips, as i press my forehead against his, a smile forming on his lips too. "now, as your assistant crew chief i suggest you get your ass dressed and onto that track." he says, a grin forming on both of our lips, as i run to get my suit on "oh, and i love you too!" he yells to me, which only makes me push harder!
Time Skip- Almost End Of The Race
i'm first! it's the biggest race of my life, and i am first, with one lap left. i take the final turn, with brett hart, car number 32, trying to cut me off, i push through, just as the checkered flag is waved. I WON! i drive my car to the center of the final and ride in circles. i take my buckles off, and the fence type thing that's blocking of the windows, i also take my helmet off and put it in my seat as i slide out of the window, with a grin from ear to ear on my face, then i see jack. he's running towards me, when he gets to me he pushes his lips onto mine, his hands going on either of my head resting on my car, and my arms going around his neck, his tongue slips into my mouthe. "Kimberly!" a voice peers through, a voice that i never wanted to hear, ever, again!
