Chapter 6
The first week we stayed in I was teaching the guys Japanese, and learning about racing in Tokyo. The next week was spent going to garages and asking behind closed doors about racing and finally I found someone to teach me, a high school kid whom I never learned his name. After learning to drift we started going to races and Pharux and I found ourselves jobs at a small café. We had only been in Tokyo about a month and I met a man named Kuroshiro while at work he was nice he and I became close within a week and we started dating but I refused to sleep with him. I hid my racing life from him since most men would disapprove of a woman racing; I even told him a false name, Lizzy Sophia. Christian was helping me with clothes and everything when he took me on dates.
It didn't matter how hard I pushed memories of Han to the back of my head each night was the same. I lay on my bed one night deciding I had had enough and went to find Jimmy. I found Jimmy in his room; he smiled when I walked in almost like he knew what I wanted. That was when I started using drugs of all kinds and I started cutting as well. I stopped going on dates after Christian met a girl he actually liked a lot her name was Gloria, Pharux was crushed but he understood. When it reached our two month mark at living in Tokyo we ended up getting pulled into the drug and crime world run by the Yakuza, the Japanese mafia. We were running drugs for them and doing things they wanted. After 9 months Eric showed up out of nowhere and started causing problems. We slowly started packing up putting our cars into our own personal warehouse. The night we sat down for dinner to talk about what our next move was a hard choice.
Malachi was looking around the room at all of us just having asked where to next. I looked down at my beer in my hand before getting an idea, "Why not tour Europe, as our band?" Everyone nodded in agreement. Malachi smiled at me, "Great ill call Zeph and let him know what's going on." Suddenly my phone started ringing I pulled it out and it was an unknown number. I headed for the kitchen and answered it, "Hello?" Suddenly a voice I knew too well came through, "Lizzy I need your help. How quick can you get to the Dominican?" I nearly dropped my phone, "Dom! I'll book the quickest flight for me and Pharux. Can I ask why you need us?" Dom chuckles, "I'll tell you when you get here." I smile to myself before remembering, "Dom did you ever give Han that letter?" I hear Dom sigh into the phone, "Lizzy, I couldn't it would have hurt him too much knowing you were never coming back to him." I feel tears well up in my eyes, "Alright, I'll see you soon expect us in about a week. I'll call the day before we leave and tell you when we are going to be arriving." "Alright see you then." Dom says before hanging up. Pharux had wandered into the kitchen and was looking at me sideways. I smile at him, "Ruxie we're going on a little vacation to the Dominican, Dom needs us." Pharux smiles from ear to ear doing a little happy dance. I told Malachi what was going down and we agreed to meet in England in a month and a half. I hurried upstairs to pack then realized I had to tell Kuroshiro I was going away for a while.
The next day I booked the tickets and Christian helped me pick out a long sleeved shirt, jeans and a pair of platform boots to wear to tell Kuroshiro that I was leaving for a while. He met me at a café in downtown Tokyo. "What did you need to talk to me about?" He asked as he took a seat. I sigh before replying while staring at my coffee, "I'm going away for a while I don't know when I'll be back, my family needs me in the Dominican." Kuroshiro rubs my hand, "I have a question to ask you." He then proceeds to get down on one knee and pull a box out of his pocket, "Will you marry me, Elizabeth?" I flinch before taking his hands, "I can't right now, I don't know if I'll ever come back to Japan." He takes the ring and attempts to slide it on my finger, it didn't fit he looked a little frustrated. "Well if you come back we will get married." I nod in response looking down at my phone I get up, "I have a plane to catch." I kiss his cheeks and head outside to Pharux's waiting car. I climb in and we head for the airport, I look at the ring on my finger which clearly doesn't fit and sigh before sticking it into my suitcase. I dial the number that Dom called from and asked for him, it was about five minutes before Dom got there, "Hey Lizzy when are you going to be here?" I sigh looking at the ticket, "About 17 hours it'll be nice to see you again." I could tell Dom was smiling by the sound of his voice, "Well I have a surprise for you." "Oh, goodie." I say sarcastically as Pharux chuckles. Christian was waiting at the airport to take Pharux's car back home and we boarded our flight. Pharux and I played cards and I slept while Pharux braded and played with my hair. When I woke up we were almost there and Pharux had my hair in a nice tight braid that reached almost to my but by now.
