Destiny speeds down route 4 and heads for an old place that she used to go to when she was stressed out. As she swaps lanes tears start to fall.

" Camaro, call Kasey."

Destiny says trying to push back her tears.

" Calling Kasey Kahne."

The car says then a dial tone echoes through the car. It rings six times until it goes to voicemail.

" Hi this is Kasey Kahne, I'm sorry I can't answer my phone right now. I'm probably racing so leave a message and I'll get back to ya'll."

His voice mail says. Then there's a beep.

" Kasey I just left my mothers.... Did not go well. I'm going to the shop then to Steve's shop. Call me back when you can."

Destiny says. Then she hits end call and the radio comes back on. She sighs as she goes into the far left lane.

" Camaro call Chris Carr."

Destiny says. The car starts to dial Chris's number. It rings three times then it stops.

" Hello?"

Chris answers. Destiny takes a deep breath.

" Chris? Are you guys at the shop?"

Destiny asks holding back the tears. She hears Steve yelling in the background. She figures that they are setting up for a dyno.

" Yah we are here. Hay long time no see huh Destiny?"

Chris says. Destiny smiles Alittle.

" I have been busy racing. What's it been two years?"

Destiny says.

" yup well I'm sure Cory and Steve will want to see you again. You always gave Steve something to worry about haha. The last thing you worked on was that red 69 Chevy Camaro drag car. She's running well might I add."

Chris says. Destiny laughs then she shifts lanes passing a slow car.

" I hated the roll cage on that damn thing. I had a bruise on my ass for two weeks because of it!"

Chris laughs hearing that from her.

" Well we are here. I know Steve and I are going out later tonight but we are here now."

Chris hears Destiny swear as she passes another car. He laughs.

" Road rage much?"

Chris says while still laughing. Destiny sighs.

" I'll take that before I deal with my mother."

Destiny says. Chris grows silent.

" You saw her? I thought you both hated each other."

Chris says with empathis on the word "Hate". She sighs.

" Chase forced me. When she saw me, I saw full rage in her eyes. I got up and flipped shit on her. Told her off and then stormed out of the house. She lied Chris... Lied to my little sister....she told her that I took off.. Ran away."

Destiny says. Then she pulls into the far right lane and gets off at exit 28 to go northbound on route 114.

" Why would your mother do that?"

Chris asks concerned.

" I don't know Chris and you know what. She's dead to me."

Destiny says. Chris grows silent. Destiny can hear Cory in the background asking him a question about the Dodge Cornet.

" Look I'm almost there. I'll be there in ten."

Destiny says. Then she hangs up before Chris can say anything else. The engine hums loudly as Destiny drives down 114 doing around 70mph.

Destiny's Camaro pulls into a large parking lot. A large now three door garage sits in the middle if the parking lot. The bright red paint freshly painted.

" Well it's been so long. The last time I was here there was two garage doors and trees surrounding most of it."

Destiny says to her self. She revs the engine making it clear that she has arrived. She parks her car next to pop's Buick Regal. Then she gets out. Some things never changes though, the sign that read " Pop's parking only, SV Engineering"

Still sits on the wall outside to the left of the first garage door. To the right if your facing the road. Destiny laughs a little seeing it. The weather lately has been decent in North Carolina. The first garage is opened revealing a bright red Dodge Cornet. As Destiny walks over to it she sees a pair of legs poking out from the left side. The left half of the car is jacked up on a jack stand. The front left tire is off and the rotor and strut assembly is completely off of the car. A few sockets and wrenches are half under the car as Destiny walks closer.

" Chris can you hand me a 19 wrench?"

The voice comes from under the Cornet. Destiny laughs a little then goes over to the tool box. She opens

The third drawer and grabs a size 19 wrench. Then Destiny walks back over to the car and squats down. She holds the wrench just out of reach of the boy that is under the car. She knows that his arms are short since he's always been the small one. He's the size of Mark Martin actually.

" Come on Chris! Just give it to me!"

The voice yells. Chris, who is now standing next to Destiny chuckles.

" Cory just come out from under there."

Chris says. Chris's face is covered in grease, his hands and arms also covered in grease. The boy from under the car starts to squirm out from under the car. Destiny stands up beside Chris as Cory comes out from under the Cornet. As soon as he sees Destiny he freezes.

" By god. It can't be you."

Cory says. His eyes looking up and down her. Chris laughs as Cory's face keeps changing. Destiny laughs too.

" It's me Cory. In the flesh, NASCAR driver Destiny Elliott."

Cory grabs Chris's hand and Chris pulls him up to his feet.

" Damn girl. It's been like, forever! How old are you now,23?"

He hugs her. Destiny smiles and hugs him back.

" I'm only 19 Cory."

Cory let's go of her and grins.

" Well you for in. Chris just turned 25 you know. Haha he's old."

Chris punches Cory on his shoulder.

" Oww! Hay!"

Cory yelps. Chris laughs as well does Destiny.

" Why don't I hear tools moving out here!"

They all yell. Cory backs up a little and Chris spins his head to the office door.

" Steve we've got a visitor!"

Chris yells over the shops radio as it blasts Three Days Grace. Steve walks over seeing Destiny. His eyes widen out of amazement and a huge smile grows on his face.

" It can't be but can it?! Come here Destiny!"

Steve says. Then he hugs her tightly.

" It's been so long since Iv seen you other then on the tv. Iv been rooting for you you know? I'm so proud of you!"

Steve hugs her tighter. Then he let's go.

" I'm racing for you guys. You have up the money to sponsor my car. So now I'm racing for you and the boys. I want to make you guys proud of me and this shop."

Destiny grins. Chris hugs her. Destiny grows into shock.

Christopher Carr, hugging me? Destiny says in her head. He let's go and then backs away.

" We are all proud of you. Even when you screwed up here we were proud of you. You always came out finishing jobs, even the ones that you hated or grew frustrated with."

Chris says. Then he looks at Cory.

" Sooo what's wrong with the Cornet?"

Destiny asks with a grin on her face. Cory looks at her glad that she's back

" New brake lines. The strut broke when the customer was driving her. So we ordered a new strut from her as well. NAPA should be bringing it in soon. The rotor is over there being cleaned."

Cory says. His hand pointed over at a machine that they use for disk brakes, etc. Destiny smiles.

" Well let's get started!"

She says out of excitement. Steve smiles.

" Now this car should be done by tonight Cory. Ya'll both can do this in a matter of three hours I bet haha."

Steve says. Cory shakes his head and then heads to the car. Destiny still holding the 19 wrench follows behind him. Chris looks at Steve.

" You wanna take a look at the Laguna Sega?"

Chris asks Steve. Steve nods.

" Did you out the headers on yet?"

Steve asks Chris. Chris shakes his head no.

" I need to tighten down the springs and make sure the valves open up on cue."

Chris says. Steve nods.

" Alright good, I'll come help with that."

Steve says. They both walk over to the Laguna Sega and fiddle with the engine.

Authors note: ok so this scene actually did happen in real life. I kinda threw something in from my life. The fighting with Destiny and her mother was like me and my step mother. Cory and Chris Carr are actually the real names of the two boys I work with. Chris is now 23. Cory is 21. Steve is my legit boss. And SV Engineering and Performance is a real place. Iv been working there since last year.

If you don't know what a strut assembly is, all you need to do is take one of the tires off on a car. It's either the shock or spring on the car. The rotor or brake rotor is what the brake caliper goes around. And the brake calipers master cylinder squeezes the brake pads which then grind on the rotor to slow the car down. Brake lines, obvious, they supply brake fluid to the master cylinder. And a Laguna Sega, I just learned about that car yesterday when we had Dyno day at work. It's a high performance car that looks kinda like a GTO. So yah this all happened. The only difference is that we had the Cornett on a lift and Chris was working on it while Cory was helping me work on the Camaro drag car. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter! And btw, thank you Joey Logano haha. Another win in my fantasy league for me:D thank you you guys for reading my story!!!! I love you guys so much!!!!!)
