Chapter 22. Another Bet

I run down the stairs and out of the house.

 I just saw- I almost gag at the thought. I need to find bleach and pour it in my eyes. Now. My brother and Vickey having-

Nope I'm really going to puke. 

I spew the content of my stomach into my side rose bushes. So goddamn gross. Whoops, guess I'll water those today. Standing up and wiping my mouth I look around hoping no one saw that moment.

Opening my front door I am so pleased to find dad has turned on the AC, cold sweet, hangover curing cold air. Now I need some fucking pizza and water. Stat. But it's like 5am... I can't order the za at 5am. I guess I'll sleep first. Goodnight..

"Hi yes, I'd like to order a medium Hawaiian pizza with a side of breadsticks and marinara. Yeah, I'll pay cash. Thanks.."

Clicking the end button on my phone I breathe a sigh of relief. Got through ordering pizza and didn't even puke, new personal best. I hear my front door open as I peek around the corner, the bright light burning directly into my soul

"You look worse than me." I deadpan looking at Michelle, her hair in a knotted bun, black and red plaid pjay bottoms hanging off her small frame

"Eat a dick." She replied with a small smile "you got the pizza?"

"Just ordered it." I laugh "Those aren't your pants." 

She looks down at the pants, looking up to meet my mischievous grin, wiggling her eyebrows before bursting out laughing

"What can I say? Ya girl had a chance with a god and she fucking took it- Oh shit did I take it.." she trails off rubbing her eyes "God damn."

After a day of pizza eating in bed and Netflix with Michelle I'm almost recovered when my phone starts ringing.

"Hello." I quickly say

"Babe?" His voice sounds sad and low

"Jackson? What's wrong?"

"I did something bad. I need you to meet me out at the races."

"For fuck sakes." I growl at him angrily

"Ryder and Hunter are here too. I need you to bring me some money."

I jump out of bed pulling on a pair of leggings and one of Jacksons hoodies, quickly tying my long hair into a high ponytail I grab my keys and start digging in my closet

"We have to go." I say rather harshly to Michelle

"What's wrong?"

"I don't fucking know. But those three idiots did something!"

Once I type in my code, I quickly open the safe door and pull out 8K, they can't be almost three races in debt. There's no way. I also grab my knife and mace, incase Julian wants to get a bit wild. He's unleashed my crazy inner bitch and she is out for blood.

Michelle and I don't say anything as we run out to my car, our minds both focused on getting there and fixing whatever mess it is that those idiots created. Slamming my foot down on the accelerator I take off into the dark, winding through deserted roads, luckily for me cops don't really seem to be out and lurking at night around here. They probably should be, either they're naïve or stupid. I spot Ryder and the boys standing at his jeep. They are all deep in conversation with eachother, Ryder is pulling at his dark hair, while Jacksons stands there, a tense look marring his beautiful face
