I got up and went out to get a cup of coffee. I leaned against the cupboard. "Where's Edward?" I asked Rose.
"I'm not sure he was gone before I got up." Hmmm! This is different, usually he here when I wake up. I thought to myself. "I'm going to hop in the shower Rose."
"Already Bella, I'm just going to get ready." She told me. "Ok!" I told her and walked into the bathroom.
The shower actually felt good today. I actually wasn't nervous at all today. I feel good I feel happy.
When I got out and looked in the mirror, I could feel that feeling of happiness coming back again. Then I felt a familiar hand on my shoulder.
But I knew it couldn't be. But I knew Bradley was here with me.
I looked up and there he was standing in the mirror smiling. I smiled to like I used to. Then he disappeared.
I walked out of the bathroom with a smile on my face into my bedroom. Then I seen my uniform. "How did he.." it was like my motor cross uniform. I couldn't believe it.
I got ready. Once I got my tank top on I zipped up my uniform. It fit like a glove and it was comfortable. I put my hat on as I always did and walked out into the living area.
There was Rose and my Dad. "Alright that smile I haven't seen in so long Bells." A tear fell from my dad eye. I walked up to my dad and wrapped my arms around him.
"It's because I know he here dad, and I know it's alright to let him go!" I told him. My dad wrapped his arms around me. "I got my Bella back!" He picked me up and spun me around. I started to laugh.
"Dad you can put me down. Where Edward?" I asked. "We are suppose to meet him back here and we are taking you to your car." I smiled.
We walked out except this time we didn't walk to the garage. "What's going on, why aren't we going to the garage?" I asked. "You'll see!" Rose said. I looked at them confused.
We walked up to Edward storage and they turned on the light. "What the.." Is all I said. "Edward and us have been up half the night working on this. He has one at every track.
It will fit both cars in them so when you need your back up it will be ready, plus it will be easier for you to do what you need to do." My dad told me.
I walked over to my car and put my hand on it and I could actually focus better I had no tension at all. For once I could feel my self one with my car.
I haven't felt that in so long. I got back to the driver side. I turned to my dad. "You connected!" My dad said. A smile grew ear to ear. "Yes!" I told them. "OH MY GOD BELLA, YOUR BACK, YOUR TRULY BACK." Rose yelled out running up to me hugging me as tight as she could.
I started to laugh. "Rose I can't breathe." She let go. "Sorry!" She told me. "Let's get back so they can get my car out to the track.
We got back and my dad had to get down to the pits. I grabbed a Pepsi max out of the fridge. Rose and I sat in the motor home listening to country music singing and dancing.
Rose and I were having fun. It felt good. We were laughing when we messed up on a word or when we messed up on a step.
"You two look like your having a lot of fun.?" We heard Edward say. "When we turned and looked he was leaning against the cupboard with his old uniform and the hat I gave him on.
Oh my god he is so damn hot! I told myself. "Yeah, it felt good to actually just to let go and have fun." I told him. "So your not nervous?" He asked me.
"Nope!" Rose and I looked at each other and started to laugh. "Did I miss something here?" We turned and looked back at Edward. Then Rose wrapped her arm around my waist.
"Oh, you won't miss nothing when you see her on the track today!" Rose said. She leaned her head against mine and we started to giggle.
Edward got this confused look on his face. I leaned over and whispered to Rose. "He so damn sexy in his uniform!" She turned and looked at me. She grabbed my arm. "Excuse us a minute Edward!" She dragged me into my bedroom and shut my door.
She crossed her arms in front of her. "Did I just hear you right?" She asked. "Yes!" I told her. "Bella Swan, I can't believe you say such words but I like." She laughs.
She pulls me back out. "So you guys ready?" He asked us. We nodded. Once we got out the door Rose took my hand and I took Edward.
We started to walk to the pits. Once there I ran up the stairs and gave my dad a hug. Then ran back down. Jacob and Billy wished me good luck.
Rose and Edward walked me out to my car. We stood by my car talking until it was time for me to get in.
I slid in and looked over in the passenger seat there was a different helmet sitting there.
I picked it up. Again it was solid black. On the side it had shorty with a punch except with a heart this time. I turned it and there was the lighting bolt but this time it said focus the love for speed. I seen the initials E.W. again I shake my head.
"What is it Bella?" Edward asked. I showed him. He just shook his head and smiled. I took my hat off. Edward ducked his head in and gave me a quick kiss.
I went to go put the helmet on when I seen something inside of it. I reached in and pulled it out. It was a picture of me and Bradley standing next to my car.
I flipped it over. "Sis, always focus and I will always be with you in your heart and by your side. Be happy please, I love you!" I smiled. I stuck the picture where I could see it.
I put my helmet on and my gloves. Rose help me buckle in and she put the net up.

After Rose got Bella buckle in and the net up we walked back to the pit. Rose fitted my mic on. "Ok, this button here is to switch over to me if Bella says something about the car. I don't care what it is you talk to me about it, got it!" I nodded. I turned and ran up the stairs.
I walked over to Charlie. "How's it looking?" I asked him. "Track temp is good everything is set!" He told me.
I walked over to the edge and switch the mic over to Rose.
"Rose is everyone set and ready down there?" I asked her. I see her running and asking checking. She looks up to me and up her thumb. "All set!" She told me. "Good!"
I switch back over. "Bella how you doing?" I asked. "Itching to start racing!" I started to laugh. "You don't have no patience." I told her. "Hell no! I love speed, I thought you learned that about me already." I shake my head.
"Alright, will be starting soon keep that foot away from the paddle for now. We got a long day ahead of us!" I told her.
"How many laps is this?" Bella asked me. "Oh can you handle 250 laps?" I asked her. "What do you think Cullen?" She said. "I think I know the answer to that.
"Alright, a little tip, don't rag on the car in the beginning. Stay .." She interrupted me. "Focus, are you done yet Edward I know how to race!" I started to laugh. "I guess so." I told her.
Then they announced on the speakers. "DRIVERS START YOUR ENGINES!"
I looked over to where Bella car was took make sure everything looked ok! Then they slowly started to follow the pace car out.
The pace car comes in. Then I see the green flag goes down. "This is for you Bradley!" I heard Bella say. I walked over to Charlie. I covered up the mic.
"Charlie, Bella just dedicated this race to Bradley." He turned and looked at me and smile.
I watched the monitors to see the other side of the track. As I watched I noticed something different about Bella driving. "Charlie what am I seeing different here?" I asked him.
"Why don't you ask her." He told me. I looked at him confused. "Bella why are you driving different, it's almost like.."
"I'm connected to my car!" She said. "Well, yeah!" I said. "Because, I'm am and it's amazing. Oh thank you by the way I love the uniform by the way." She told me.
"Your welcome!"
"Edward, #17 getting lose. Rick says it looks like he trying to pass your brother Emmett, but something not right on Emmett car." Charlie told me. "Shit, I told my brother about that damn it!" I said.
"Edward, I have a idea but it would take me back in positions but like you said don't rag on my car. But I can let you know what wrong with your brother car." Bella told me.
"Charlie what lap are we now?" I asked. "100!" He told me. "Edward trust me I will be ok if something happens!" She told me. I look at Charlie. "She knows what she doing Edward!" He told me.
She in 4th and Emmett is in 20th. "Do it, I'm trusting you Bella if something happens to you.." she stops. "There's my back up car or other races but it won't! Will you have faith in me!" She tells me.
"Alright just do it before I change my mind." I tell her. "Let Rose know what I'm doing." She tells. "Alright!" I run to the side and click over. "Rose Bella backing off to go check Emmett car, there's a car that's loose behind him. I told Emmett about it but he didn't listen." I told her.
"I know what Bella doing, she good at what she does let me know, tell her it's a go!" Rose says.
I click back over. "Rose says it's a go." I told Bella. "Now watch me do my magic!" Bella said. I just stood there stun when she said that. I heard Charlie laugh.
I finally walk over to the monitors and watch. She down shifting and whipping around cars like backwards. "Is this even possible?" I ask out loud.
It didn't take her long to get to Emmett. She stays back just a little like she watching every move carefully.
Then she backs off couple cars back. "Edward, I need to talk to Rose now!" Bella said. I ran down the stairs and gave the mic to Rose.
I watched as the conversation on folded. She gave me back the mic and took off running down towards Emmett spot.
I put back on my mic but as I did I heard a loud noise. I ran back up the stairs. All I could see is alot of smoke and cars wrecking and until there was so much smoke you couldn't see anything.
"Bella, can you her me?" I didn't hear nothing. Charlie yelling at Rick asking if he can see her. But nothing.
But then Bella come out with others behind her. I breath out a sigh of relief. "Edward, you need to get down there it was your brothers car it was it fuel pump. Number 17 hit him and he hit the wall his car caught on fire.
Go I'm alright be with your brother." She told me. I gave Charlie the mic and started running down to my family.
When I got over to my brother he was in shock then he looked up at me. "Edward!" I walked over to him. He grabbed a hold of my hand.
"I don't know how to explain it, but she my life. Some how Bella got beside my car and got the other from hitting me more. She didn't get a scratch. It's like she knew what was going to happen before it happen.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I want Bella to win, make sure she wins or at least places. I will be fine, I might not get to race for a while but I will be fine. Go back to Bella she needs you Edward." I just nodded.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. But I headed back to our area and walked back up the stairs.
"How's Emmett?" Charlie asked me. "He will be alright he won't be able to race for a while but he's alright." I told him.
I put back on the mic. "You sure did put a big change in my brother he wants you to win the race. Watch you work your magic. Next time you see Emmett tell him that will you!" I told Bella." She started laughing.
"He said you saved his life! I owe you one." I told her. "You owe me nothing Edward you gave me my dream, and also save me to and brought me back to life." She said.
Once they got the track cleaned up they open the pits up. Bella had all four tires changed and fuel put in. Then was off again.
We were up to 200 laps now Bella up in 10th. "Your in a good spot for now I want you to stay here for awhile. Next time pit opens I need you to come in so I know you got enough fuel to make it." I told her.
"Alright!"
"Watch #10 on your left he trying to past and cutting it close." I told him. "I see him! Hold on!" She said.
"Hold on to what, Bella what are you doing?" I asked her.
She moved up and the car moved up two spots and hits another. "DAMN IT!" Pit opens and she comes in.
I walk down so she could see me. "BELLA LOOK AT DAMN IT!" She did. "YOU NEED TO START TELLING ME WHEN YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT GOING TO HAPPEN, IT'S CALLED COMMUNICATION. INSTEAD OF FREAKING THE HELL OUT OF ME!" I told her.
I turned and walked back up the stairs. "Sorry I'm not use to someone working with me like this, give me a break." She told me. "You got 48 more laps to go. Make it count." I told her.
"EDWARD!" She yelled. "What!" I said. "Stop! I know your Irritated, but I know what I'm doing out here you need to relax your to tense breath!" She told me.
I closed my eyes. Why does this women got to be so stubborn. "Just drive will you!"
20 laps to go and things are getting tense up here. Pits are open and Bella came in fuel. And had to get tires. "When we to ten laps to go I want you to start moving up slowly." I told her. "Alright!"
"Bella when you get to 5 laps I'm leaving it all to you." I told her.
It was down to 7, 6, 5. "Bella it's all you now!" I told her. "I'm one!" I had a confused look on my face.
I walked over to the monitor and watched. "Go, baby girl." Soon as Charlie said that it was if like Bella was invisible passing the cars.
I walked over to the edge and she was neck and neck with 44. 2 laps to go. Come on, come on. 1 lap to go. She come around the last corner and it was like I could feel her shift and she went flying past 44. My hands tighten on the rail. She crossed the finish line checker flag.
"HOT DAMN!" I screamed out. Charlie started whistling. "Bella, go grab the checker flag it's yours." I told her. She was laughing.
I ran down the stairs over to the pit wall and climbed on top of it. Bella started to do a spin out. I started to laugh. Then she stopped the car and some how got herself out and ran over to the pit wall to me.
"What are you doing?" I asked her. She but her back against the wall and pulled herself up. I started to laugh. She took off her helmet.
"I'm doing this!" She got on her tip toes and pressed her lips to mine.
She traced her tongue on my bottom lip to ask for permission and I granted her permission as she did for me. I wrapped my arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
We finally pull away and then Bella was grabbed by Rose and Jacob and taken over to the pit. I started to laugh at the look on her face.
I walked over as they were walking her over to the winners circle.
I stood back to let her enjoy the moment. "EDWARD!" I heard heard Bella scream out!" I walked over to wear she was by her car.
She looks up at me and smiles. "What!" I asked her. She turns and climbs to the roof of her car. She kneels down and looks down at me.
"Do you think seriously I can stand up her and accept this win by myself Cullen, cause your wrong. Because without you I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you!" She smiles and reaches her hand down to me.
I looked into her eyes trying to figure why she was doing this, then I think back to her saying I saved her life, but little did she know she save me too.
I reached up and took her and and climbed up to the roof of the car and she stood up. She picked up the trophy. "Edward, this is half yours you know, and every race I win for now on it will always be so please accept my afford and stay on and keep doing what you do best."
I smiled. "Yes!" I told her. I put my hand on the trophy. "You ready?" I asked her with my new crooked smile on my face. "Yes, yes, yes, I'm ready!" Then when we lifted the trophy in the air she yelled out.
"THIS IS FOR YOU BRADLEY!" She did this with the biggest smile on her face.
