Bad Boy Isn’t My Type

” Okay bye…… all the best……” Rose chirped and joined us. I didn’t dare to turn back and fixed my head straight looking wherever Harper took me.

” What was going on!?” Harper whispered me will we were walking.

” Nothing ” I told her, hoping she wouldn’t question me anymore.

” Oh come on…… I know something is wrong! Tell me what is it” Harper’s mother hen mode turned on.

” Nothing, I am fine and alive……” I fired back quickly, looking at anywhere but her.

” Mmm…… I am wife of Iron man” She raised her eyebrow mockingly, choosing to remain silent.

” Leave it, how did you meet Hayden… tell me he is your boyfriend” Harper wiggled her eyebrows.

” What no…… he is not…… he is just a friend. It’s his first race so he pulled me to cheer and watch his first match”

” What really…… he is participating in the race!, that’s so cool…” Harper was amused.

” So how does this race go?”

” They have go round the forest, cross the west side hill and then come back, whoever comes back first, they are the winner. Look they are about to start.”

There were many cars lined up on a wide track that was lit by several light generators. I could see Vincent’s Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Chevrolet Corvette, Silver Audi TT, green Mustang with the black skull painted over his hood, there were many other cars too.

Suddenly someone waved at me from Audi TT.

Hayden!

I happily waved him back and signalled him a good luck. Then my eyes suddenly met with Vincent, he was giving me a glance full of hatred. I averted my eyes quickly. Blake and Vincent got inside the Dodge Challenger Hellcat putting their helmet. The match was about to begin.

The furious rumbling of engines roared through the air, and the spectators cheered.

A race girl wearing knee high boots and a mini skirt that barely covered her butt sashayed her way to the starting line, breaking through my thoughts, and marked the start of the race.

The cars left the starting line in a cloud, of smoke and my pulse quickened with excitement. I never cared much about racing, and I didn’t understand what was so special about it, but watching it in person with the sounds of engines and ecstatic crowd all around fed me with energy.

I was sucked in the world, my eyes plastered to the cars. Soon they left.

” Look they have to cross the road, take a lap on the foresty area…… it’s quite risky, but Vincent is good at this ” Emma boasted.

” Why two people have to sit in one car ? ” I asked her confused.

” Well, you see this race is life risking task, there are many hurdles…… bumpy roads, steep area, it’s not easy to win the race. So they have a spare partner so if anything happens to him, another person will replace him or help in some situation if something goes wrong”

” So here Vincent drives and Blake guides him…… Blake tells him where to go, what to do… that’s make them unbeatable.” Aaron added.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

We waited for 1 and a half hour and then suddenly crowd went wild… cars were coming!!!

I saw Hayden’s car from a distance. I was amazed by Hayden’s skills, who seemed to rule the track. He was accelerating way before any of other drivers could. He said he had been waiting for the race for a long time. I don’t know why internally I wanted him to win.

Maybe he is your friend that’s why……

Go Hayden! You can do it!!!!

He was passing many cars with ease, putting more distance between them, my eyes were only fixed to his car. Watching him, cheering him.

I was hell nervous, I had a gnawing feeling, my heart beating fast. He was going fine…… then suddenly Dodge Challenger Hellcat, pulled over.

Shit! Isn’t it’s Vincent’s and Blake’s car!!

Hayden’s engine roared when he quickened, almost passing the Challenger, but Vincent swerved sharply to block Hayden.

It was like Vincent wasn’t leaving him to move ahead, he himself didn’t overtake him, he was maintaining the same phase as Hayden’s.

Why isn’t he overtaking him!?? What do you want Vincent!.

I got a ill feeling something bad was going to happen, and…… now it happened. Vincent dashed into Hayden’s car, he was continuously bumping his car on his.

What is he doing!????

If he continues it…… Hayden’s car will definitely loose it’s balance……

Then suddenly Vincent brought his car towards Hayden’s car and dashed him with all force.

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayden lost his balance and…… then his car crashed.

My hands started to tremble, his car almost crashed into pieces.

Noooooooooo!!!! Why????? Hayden!!!!!

” Hayden!!!!! Noooooooooo” I screamed loudly. The car flew in air and stumbled many times. It shattered into many pieces. My heart was beating wildly. I couldn’t believe what just happened!…… I was panicking.

They dashed his car……. they just did it with no remorse……

After few seconds…… The crowd burst into cheers, when Vincent’s car finished first, like everything was normal.

Can’t they see a disaster happened!!!!

Some people gathered Hayden’s car, I wanted to go to him, but suddenly Rose caught me.

“Where are you going!? ”

” Leave me…… I need to go towards Hayden” I was crying heavily. I was going mad due to trauma. But Emma, Rose and Harper caught me.

” It’s common Jennie…… it happens in the race…… there’s nothing to freak about” Xavier said.

What!! can’t they see someone is dying…… that bastard did it purposely……

They were not leaving me, I tried to wiggle off, but they increased pressure. I saw someone took Hayden and a guy out of the crashed car. Hayden was badly injured and his body was covered with blood, but he was breathing, but not like a normal person. They were taking his body away somewhere.

” Leave me I need to go……” I shouted crying heavily. Tears were non stop falling from my cheeks. I was going weak.

” Relax…… they are taking him to the hospital… everything’s fine! Why are you tensing up” Emma said caressing my back.

They pulled me towards the crowd. The viewers darted towards the track to greet the winner. The excited murmurs carried two names through the air, Vincent and Blake.

Some took pictures of them, some were taking pictures of their car. Girls were throwing themselves upon them. Rose, Emma,…… everyone were cheering for them. Nobody was caring about the car crash.

Then my eyes met with the beast. He gaze was piercing, his icy green eyes promising me nothing but pain. Vincent’s gaze was full with contempt. We were starting at each other, despite of people around us. It was full of hatred.

Wh* re…… slut…… cheap…… thrash…… broke what all he called me… he even attacked Hayden without any remorse……

The words and his actions…… were burning me, my anger rose.

I was tired of him, his continuous insults, his torture……

I hate him…… I hate him so much. He didn’t leave even Hayden… he is a bloody psychopath…… how can he play with someone’s life……

Vincent and Blake started coming towards us. Blake smirked at me, and Vincent just stared at me.

Everyone started congratulating them. Rose, Emma, Jisoo, …… everyone hugged them. I and Harper stood silently. I was burning with anger now.

I looked at Vincent who was already looking at me with no emotion and zero remorse.

He had no limit. No shame. And he had absolutely no empathy. It was too much, I couldn’t put up with it anymore. I couldn’t just keep quiet and hide under the people like a scared kid, hoping that danger would pass. No more. I felt high on fury. I wanted to kill him.

Pent up anxiety was like a ticking bomb. It could explode any moment.

Mine finally exploded.

I went towards him. He was so close to me that it was very easy for me to slap him and so I did it.

*Phaaaaaattttttttt*

I slapped him hard. I could say it was a good slap by the stinging of my hand. Everybody’s attention were on us now. There was a pin drop silence.
