"She only has 8 months to live." He said with a sigh.
I said "What cancer is this?"
The doctor said "Pancreatic cancer."
I said "I can't believe we didn't detect this in time."
The doctor said "You could try chemotherapy."
I said "She won't do it."
The doctor asked with concern "Why not?"
I said "She already had said something like this could happen. If it did then she wouldn't do chemotherapy. She says chemotherapy kills people faster."
I stood up and said "Thank you, anyways."
I got on my motorcycle and drove off home.
The hospital wasn't to far away only a few blocks but everything else was. Everything, mostly was found in downtown.
I got home and walked in.
"What he say?" She asked.
I sat down in front of her in the living room and said "You were right."
She looked down at her fingers and asked "How long?"
I sighed and said "8 months and the cancer you have is the pancreatic kind."
She said "I don't think so."
I frowned and asked confused "What?"
She said "I don't think I'll last that long."
I said "I think if you eat healthier-"
She stood up and said "I don't get hungry. How do you expect me to eat healthier? It's better if I leave sooner for you."
I stood up and gasped as I asked "What?! How can you say that?"
She said "It's just you barley paying for the rent, bills and my medicine's. They aren't cheap like you lied to me."
I said "I didn't want you to worry but I got this."
She said "You will once I leave. Imagen if I qualified for a surgery. Where would you have got all the money from?"
I said "Racing will get us the money."
She said "Grace I told you to stop doing that. If you die what will I do?"
I said with a pout "You know it's my dream to become a professional racer."
She said "We moved here because you couldn't with the rent."
I said "Racing isn't that famous in that loner city but here is different."
She nodded her head sideways and said "Are you going tonight?"
I said "We spent almost all the money I had won from racing in that small city."
She said "Grace get a real job don't-"
I got my backpack and said "We won't survive with a $7.25 dollar minimum wage. No matter if I work over time don't forget I tried it for you. Drink your medicine if you get sick again."
I felt bad as I walked out but nothing else could help her out. I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I got on my motorcycle. I wiped them off and put my helmet on.
I drived to the street racing that would occur tonight in downtown. I just needed to win enough money to survive this whole week with my mom. I widen my eyes as I compared the crowd from here to the loner city I was living at. It was nothing compared to that and I got very happy. I parked my motorcycle and saw my boy J-hope come up to me.
"Grace! You made it!" He said with so much excitement.
I smiled as I took off my helmet and put it over my bike. I hugged him and said "I missed you so much. How's the racing here?"
J-hope said "It's so much better than that loner city we were at."
I chuckled and bit my lip as I asked "So, you got me in tonight?"
J-hope said "Hell yeah but against me."
I raised an eyebrow and asked "What?!"
J-hope laughed and said "I'm just kidding but I think I mest up."
I frowned as I asked "What did you do?"
J-hope said "I told the people around that you were really good and they put you against Suga. I'm so sorry."
I said confusingly "I guess that means he's the best from the town."
J-hope scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and said "Kind of."
I nodded my head sideways and said "I need to win not lose!"
J-hope laughed and said "Wow you have so much faith in yourself. Actually, it's not him who will race you. It's his bestfriend or best man, V."
I said "I will win."
J-hope laughed and said "I seen him race and he's to good."
I raised an eyebrow and asked "What about this dude?"
J-hope said "Suga races?"
I nodded and J-hope said "I haven't seen him race, yet. Everyone says he's the best though."
"J-hope!" Someone called from the crowd.
J-hope grabbed my hand and said "Come bestfriend."
I laughed and went with him.
"Is your girl ready?" He asked as we made it to the crowd.
J-hope smirked and said "Yeah she's ready. Are you V?"
V smirked and said with his deep voice "Always."
He looked down at me and I said with a smirk "Let's get it, then!"
The crowd cheered around us and V said "Let's see what you got?"
Me and J-hope walked off to my bike.
J-hope said "Be careful and I wish you the best."
I rolled my eyes and asked "Aren't you racing tonight?"
J-hope said "No because your going to take me out tonight."
I looked at him disgusted as I asked "With what money?"
J-hope said with disbelief "Don't act like your going to lose."
I laughed and said "Now I want to lose so I won't have to take you out."
J-hope pouted and I drove to the start line.
I smirked through my helmet and felt my heart beat thump of excitement.
V said "Goodluck because you'll need it."
I said "Thank you! I think I'll need it too!"
V turned to look at me confused and the girl in that seducing outfit got in the middle with her flag.
She asked "Ready."
V nodded and she said "Set."
I nodded and she said "GO!"
As I drove off full speed the crowd cheers fated and all I could hear was my motorcycle engine. I didn't look back or next to me. I focused really hard in not getting killed. My main focus was winning all the money. There was so many red lights, people walking with kids, and traffic. I didn't hear V near me and I said in my head "Theres got to be an alley somewhere."
I made my way out of all that and started to run my bike full speed. I new it was dangerous going through this side but it was faster. I had to win no matter what. I didn't see V for awhile and I didn't give in to much.
"I love what I do and I will win!" I said with excitement. I turned a corner super faster and as I did that's when I saw V drive by me. His eyes widen as he took off that smirk off his face. I guess he thought he had lost me back there. V accelerated and I let him get ahead of me. I stayed back a little once we approached to the finish line. I could see J-hope cheering for me only and that's when I accelerated more.
I passed the finish line first and came to a stop. I took off my helmet and J-hope hugged me.
"You did so good! I thought you wouldn't make it." He said.
I asked with a pout "Is this the faith you have in me?"
The crowd from around cheered for me and I knew they would eventually.
V came from around and said "Your good but not to good."
I said "I know."
V handed me the money that I had won and not him.
J-hope eyes widen and I couldn't believe the money that was being given to me.
V said "I don't really care you won. I'm rich and don't need it."
I said "Well I'm poor and do need it. Thank you."
J-hope chuckled and said "Let's go out for dinner shall we my love."
I got the money out of his hand quickly and stuffed it in my backpack.
I hoped on my bike and J-hope got on his. We drove off to a small Chinese restaurant.
J-hope said "No one had beat V before except Suga."
I looked at him as I chewed on some rice and swallowed it.
I said "Should I be worried?"
J-hope said "V looks kind of bad but I don't think he'll murder you."
I whispered "I can't believe I won 6000 dollars dude."
J-hope said "You should had won more but Suga wasn't there to race."
I said "So, he wins more?"
J-hope said "He wins everything. Your car, house, girlfriend, money, and your motorcycle"
I said "Oh hell no! Not that!"
J-hope chuckled and said "I'm serious."
I said "I'll kick his butt before he even tries something."
J-hope nodded his head sideways and said "I would pay to see this."
I looked at him annoyed and kicked him.
J-hope wined in pain as he grabbed his leg from under the table.
I finished eating and gave him 3000 dollars.
J-hope said "Grace it's yours not-"
I said "I got to race against a weird guy today because of you. Thank you and you know you need it too."
J-hope smiled and said "I had enough with this food."
I stood up and said "Oh shut up. Don't act like your not going to get hungry within two hours."
J-hope laughed and said "Your right."
I rolled me eyes and said "See you."
J-hope said "Bye!"
I drove off and headed out of downtown. The streets were so lonely and I was waiting on this dumb red light to turn green. I heard a motorcycle come to a stop next to me and I looked over at it. By the outfit and hands you could tell it was a very pale looking guy. He was going the same direction as me. I was going to go straight and I could see he was getting ready to race against me. I smirked as I got ready for the dumb light to turn green and it did. We both went full speedy and the street got lonelier. I could pass him up at times but we kept it at a constant speed as me.
"At this light I'll turn right." I said in my head. The light came up closer and turned yellow. I made a quick right turn and looked back. He had made a left turn and I looked ahead confused.
"Someone like me." I smirked as I said.
*Next morning*
"Grace get up and shower." My mom said.
I sat up and grabbed my neck. I said annoyed "I can't believe I fell asleep on the couch."
My mom said "All because of racing."
I rolled my eyes and went to shower. I quickly got out and said "What do you need from the store?"
My mom said "Oranges, apples, grapes, lettuce, cucumber, pumpkin, tomatoes-"
I said "Just say you need everything."
My mom said "This is for you since I don't get hungry. You better figure out how you'll bring all of this back with your motorcycle."
I grabbed my backpack and said "Don't worry I got this."
I got out and called J-hope.
J-hope said "It's so early. Why are you calling me?"
I said "I need your help now!"
J-hope shouted through the phone "What?! Where are you?!"
I said "Meet me at the store in downtown!"
I hung up and chuckled as I rode to the store.
I finally made it and he wasn't even there. After, a few minutes he finally made it.
"I would have died here." I said annoyed.
J-hope blushed as he said "I was in the middle of something."
"That's nasty. Anyways, I need your help getting groceries to the house. Could you help?" I asked.
J-hope said "I don't have another choice. Do I?"
I nodded my head sideways and smiled.
I turned to walk inside with J-hope but bumped into V.
"Hey Grace. Are you stalking me or what?" V asked.
I looked at him disgusted and asked "Why on earth would I stalk you?"
J-hope laughed and asked "You came alone?"
V looked towards his motorcycle and we looked over at that direction. Some other guy was there and J-hope said "Oh your with Suga."
He had a helmet on so I couldn't see well but the outfit he wore was kind of the same from that dude at the light from last night.
I walked past V and said "Alright let's go."
V asked "You coming tonight? I have someone who wants to race against you."
I stopped to look back at him with curiosity and asked "Who?"
V smirked and pointed at the guy that was next to his bike.
I looked at that direction and looked back at V as he said "Suga."
