Journey POV.
I open my eyes to see Noah gone. He went to the drivers meeting like always. I get up and get dressed then I went to see Ashley Allgaier and Harper. We hang out until Justin and Noah got out of the meeting. Which wasn't long. We stay and talk to them for a couple of more minutes.
Skip time.
We're in Daytona. I smile as Noah walk to me. He said" let's go." We went to eat breakfast as we do Noah said" can you believe that we're been together three years." I smile and said"of course I know our family loves us together." Noah said"Journey I'm gonna win today." I smile and said" I know I have a good feeling. But please do be careful." He smile and hug me and then we went to stand for the national anthem. Then I kiss Noah's cheek as he went to get in the car.
