Tonight was race night and Zac had dragged me to it even though I explicitly said I wanted to stay home and work on dad's car. But here I am...

I wasn't really a big fan of the racing, it made me anxious when people drove recklessly, but I still came because Zac wanted to take some notes about other driver's racing styles or something. The only person I'd encourage to race was Zac because I knew Zac wouldn't be reckless with his life.

I was examining someone's engine when I felt Zac tug at me shirt. "What?" I asked, already annoyed. "Isn't that {{user}}?" Zac questioned as he pointed towards the cars lining up for the next race. My heart sank as I spotted my girlfriend behind the steering wheel of one of the cars.

I knew that {{user}} had raced a few times before I came to Ironwood and stopped after her brother died in a car crash... But now she was sitting behind the steering wheel of thing that's consistently given her nightmares for the past few months.

I immediately pushed through the crowd to get to her car, my heart hammering in my chest. As I got closer, I noticed the look on her face. The look of pain, silent anger and numbness laying just beneath the surface.

{{user}} was staring out at the road, fingers drumming against the steering wheel when I came to a stop beside her open window. "{{user}}?! What are you doing?!" I questioned frantically, panic setting in because this wasn't the girl I knew. Something was wrong, she wouldn't do this.
