The cars were revving. The lights were blaring.

And I had no idea what the hell I was in for.

They drag raced. That's what they all did for fun. I only saw this stuff happen on Fast and Furious.

Where I was from, this never happened. Rich kids didn't want to ruin their pretty little Mercedes by any means.

Yes, there was always the one wild one of the bunch that didn't live by their parents rules. That was me, but our parents weren't the stereotypical "rich folk".

Anyways, I knew what this was and I knew it wasn't safe. People died from doing this. Even though the guys weren't doing this in the streets, they were still going against each other. Anything could happen.

We were at an abandoned airport which hadn't been used since the 1960s. It was smaller, but the runways were clear and apparently perfect racing material. All I could see was the airport building in the distance, and the open road in front of me. The runway lights weren't lit up and the only light was from the cars around us that the boys owned. You wouldn't be able to see a thing if their car lights weren't on.

It took about an hour drive because it was in the middle of nowhere. You could almost see the mountains perfectly outlined in the night sky, stars almost touching the highest peaks.

I rode with Zayn and he informed me about everything they did and why.

They didn't follow the rules of drag racing, they just raced each other for the thrill.

It was the seven of us only, and I didn't know what was going to happen. I definitely would not be racing anyone.

"I'm racing against Louis. The bastard thinks he'll be able to beat me and I'm going to prove him damn wrong." Niall cheered, pointing at Louis.

Louis laughed and flipped him off, causing them all to laugh.

Zayn looked over to me and smiled, cigarette in hand as he nodded me over.

There was no doubt that tonight was chilly, even more so that we were in the middle of nowhere.

"So that leaves Harry and I to race yeah?" He called out to Harry who was leaned back against his car, with a cigarette in his lips.

These boys are going to get lung cancer.

"Sounds good to me." He shrugged, smirk on his lips.

Liam and Elijah came up from behind Zayn's car and stood near the both of us.

"Well if Niall and Louis race, and Harry and I, then Liam and Elijah, that leaves Athena by herself. Athena I know you don't want to race yeah?" Zayn asked, making his way over to me.

"Yeah I'd rather not. Is just watching fine?" I questioned worriedly. I really didn't want to have to do anything regarding what they were doing tonight. I was a nervous wreck already.

They all looked to each other then back at me.

"You'll ride with me." Harry sternly added. His eyes were dead set on my own and I couldn't help but to feel worried.

"Harry I don't know if she wants to, look at her." Elijah muttered. I couldn't help but notice the look of unease on his face. He had told me before that he didn't trust Harry, but I still didn't know why.
