Racers Edge

Music was herd coming from the bathroom. Singing to the song that was playing was Kar, a gray and black wolf/husky mix. After the shower was done warming up, the 25 year old turned up the music and got in to the shower. The hot water felt good on his lower back. He turned around to change the water temperature when he felt something under his foot. Before he could react, he slipped and fell forward landing hard on the edge of the tub face first. " FUCK!" Kar yelled, placing a paw over his mouth and nose. Removing it he saw that it was drenched in blood. He turned over and looked at his feet, seeing the face cloth that he tossed in to the tub to clean him self was the item that he slipped on. He quickly grabbed the cloth and held it to his face trying to hold back some of the blood. Quickly turning off the water, he stepped out of the tub, dried and got dressed. The blood had started to slow by now, but the pain was strong. He walked out of the bathroom and stared at his mate who had a worried look on his face. "Hun are you ok?" Jake asked. The fox looked at the blood stained cloth that Kar was holding. "I heard you yell-". Jake gently grabbed his mates paw and moved it off of Kar‘s face. "What happened?" "I slipped on a face cloth and hit my face on the edge of the tub." "How did you manage that?" "I don't know, but all I know is that this hurts and I would like some pain killers" Going to the kitchen, Jake grabbed a bottle of pain killers off the top of the microwave. He open the bottle and shook two of the pills out on to his hand, handing them to Kar. "Do you want some water?" Popping the pills in to his mouth he swallowed them, grinning. "What do you think?" "I take that as a no. You really need to be more careful hun." Jake pulled Kar in close to him and kissed him. "You always seem to get hurt by the stupid things." "Its not my fault. I just seem to have bad luck most of the time." Turning around, Kar noted that the kitchen table was set up in a romantic way. "why is the table set up like that?" '"You forgot? Its our 4 year anniversary today. I thought I might make us something special tonight to eat." "That's tonight? But I thought that it was tomorrow." he thought about it for a few. "Well I guess that I can go to the track tomorrow then and try to make some more money off of the Golf." "I might leave my car here and just tag along with you. I‘m not sure it is ready for racing yet." "That's fine." Kar sat down as Jake went to the back deck and took a few items off of the bar-b-que. Kar could smell what was coming. "Do I smell steak?" "I thought you might like some. I also made summer squash, corn, and homemade biscuits." "Your to much." standing up he kissed Jake and helped him set the items on to the table. After they finished the meal, the table was cleared and cleaned. "This weekend is the tournament at the drags. I plan on entering the Golf. Maybe you could enter your R32. You never know you might win something." Kar said leaning in to his mate, hugging him tightly. "I might. Its not fully ready to race yet but a few passes wouldn't hurt." Cars were a big part of there life. They both grow up around them and had a very strong interest in them at an early age. It took Kar 4 years of saving to build his pride and joy. The 1989 Volkswagen Golf had lots of work done to it. You can always find him ranting on about how it has 600 HP and AWD. He treats the car like a child. Jake on the other had fell in love with the 2004 Volkswagen R32. Though it is not as built up like Kar's is, he still takes pride in it. It only makes a small 400 HP but he thinks it is more drivable. He tries to keep Kar away from it so he don't spend any more money on it. Jake woke up early the next day and made bacon and eggs. The scent of freshly cooked bacon filled the house and Kar picked up on it straight away. Opening his eyes he saw Jake staring down on him. "Morning cutie." planting a kiss on his lips. "I made some breakfast for us." "I can smell it and it smells great!" "I know how much you like bacon so I cooked up a bunch." Jake left the room and Kar got out of bed. After getting dressed he walked down stares. Jake had already finished his plate and was washing dishes. "There is a plate on the table already." Walking over to the table, Kar began to drool. Jakes cooking was superb and every meal was better then the last. He quickly dug in and finished before Jake could finish the dishes. "My, my some one was hungry." "Just a little bit. I‘m off to work. I will be back at 5:30." "Okay. What time we heading to the track? "6:30. Just like every other Wednesday." "Smart ass. But that's why I love you." "Because I work to much or because I am a smart ass?" "Both" walking over to the wolfski he planted a kiss on his lips. The rest of the day passed as normal. Jake worked from home as a web administrator and Kar worked as an automotive tech school teacher. Both jobs paid well enough so that they could live how they wanted. However money was starting to get tight because of the economy. When Kar got home, he went straight up to the bathroom and showered. When he came back down he sat down next to Jake. "You almost ready?" "I will be ready in a minute. Just have to put my shoes on and grab my money." "Okay. I will be waiting in the car." Jake got up and walked out the door. Once Kar had finished getting ready, he walked out side and got in to the car. The drag way was only 5 minuets down the road. Kar stopped at the gas station before pulling in to the drag way. Paying the 20$ to race his car. "Now its time to make some money." Kar said, pulling the Kar in to the Tech line. The number 592 was put on to the windshield and the rear windows. After getting his car number he then pulled in to the racing line. Many car were already there showing off what they could do. Pulling up next to Kars Golf was a Honda Civic. The drivers door opened and out stepped a 24 year old dragon. Staring at Kars Golf he started to laugh. "Nice car, fag." "I bet 200$ that it will beat your civic down the track." "Someone has balls." the dragon walked over to Kar "You got your self a race." Jake walked over to the car, reached in and grabbed the video camera. "I will be in the stands. Good like hun." he said, panting a kiss. He walked towards the grandstands and vanished in to the crowd. The line slowly moved up untill the two cars were on the track. The Civic skipped over the burnout box. But Kar stopped right in the box, grinning evily. "lets see what he thinks of this." Revving the motor to 8000 RPM he quickly dropped the clutch and all 4 tires lit up, billowing smoke. He pulled up to the start line and looked over at the dragon, who couldn't be leave what he just saw. The tree started to light up. When the green light lit, the 2 were off. Kar quickly took and held the lead posting a run time of 10.352. The dragon on the other hand only managed a 12.582. Pulling back around to the race line, Kar got out and waited for the dragon to show up. When he finally did, he had one question that was on every ones mind. "What the fuck are you running in that Golf?" Walking over to the drivers side, Kar reached in a pulling the hood release. After propping the hood up, the dragons jaw dropped. "What the hell?" "This is what I'm running. I'm not going to give you my tech sheet though. So all you can do is dream about of much power this car makes. I be leave you owe me some money." The dragon nodded and reached in to his pocket and pulled out the money, Handing it to Kar. "I take back what I said about your car. That thing is evil, pure evil." "I try." Jake walked out of the crowd and walked over to Kar, kissing and hugging him. "Nice run Kar. That was close to your best run." Returning the kiss he nodded. "It was wasn't it." The rest of the night went on with out any more races. Kar stopped after his 5th run, and the two sat in the stands watching the action. "Im hungry." Jake said, stretching. "Same. Want a burger?" "sounds good" The two walked over to the burger stand and ordered 2 cheeseburgers and 2 diet cokes. They made quick work of the track food. Walking back to the car Jake looked over at Kar. "You should start racing for pink slips." "Maybe." The two got in to the car and drove off. "Welcome race fans! Get ready for some edge of your seat action! The NOPI internationals are about to get under way! Drivers, report to the tower for a drivers meeting in 5 minutes." "Finally. Cant wait to get this shit going." Kar sighed. Closing the hood to his car. He walked over to Jakes car and opened the door. "Hun. Its time for a meeting. Jake? WAKE UP!" "Huh? What? I'm awake, I'm awake." "Let's get going. Don't want to be late." Kar helped his boyfriend out of the car and hugged him tightly. The meeting took an hour, but to Kar it felt like a year. He was pumped and ready to race all week. Jake fell asleep half way though. "Jake? Wake up hun. The meeting is over." "..." The night before, Jake was up all night trying to get a last few things done to his car. Needless to say he didn't sleep at all. "I might only do 2 runs and then I'll have to go home. I need some sleep." "That's okay. I'll be home after I get knocked out." "That might take some time." "Maybe. The car has been running odd lately." "Don't worry. It will run fine." They got into there cars and pulled into line. Kar quickly popped the hood and started checking every thing to make sure it was ready to run. Jake was trying his best to stay awake. The music was playing rather loudly from his car in his attempts to wake up. Kar saw this and thought a cup of coffee would help him wake up. "Hun? You want some coffee?" "Coffee? Yes please. That might help me wake up a little before the race." Kar left, quickly coming back with 2 cups of hot coffee. "Here you go Jake." "Thanks." "The fallowing racers are going to be running for the first five runs. These drivers are to report to the front of the line in the fallowing order: Jeff Darts and Jim Frankford, Will Low and Tracy Kay, Jake Fon and Kar Horton, Kelly Smith and Bill Lead, and Joe Sanford and Nick Hope. The first race will happen in 5 minutes." Jake and Kar stared at each other, shocked to find that there first race was between each other. "Well that was something I didn't expect." Kar sighed. "Well, I guess I might be going home a little earlier then I thought." The first two pares raced and the time came for Jake and Kar to race. "Looks like we have a Volkswagen duel! What will come out on top? New or old?" "Good luck hun." "Same to you." The two kissed and pulled up to the line. The staging lights lit up and the time had come. The tree quickly lit up and the green light flashed. Both cars rocked off the line. Till about the halfway point it was a dead heat. Kar passed the line in 10.284 with Jake pulling an 11.302. The two pulled off to the side after the raced had finished. "Well. I guess I will be heading out now." "I was hoping that you would have been here a little longer. I will be home as soon as I can. You need to go home and sleep." "I will. I love you Kar." "I love you too Jake." the two kissed and quickly parted there ways. Jake left the parking lot and pulled out on to the main road. He turned the music up a slight bit. The light ahead of him turned red and he slowed to a stop. The song changed and he turned it up a slight bit more. As the light turned green he pulled away and stated to turn. As he was about to turn he could hear a sound that was different. The sound of screeching tires. He looked to his left to see a black SUV heading right for him. Before he could react the SUV slammed the drivers door and sent him spining. The car rolled on to its roof and slid 50 feet. Bleeding and upside down, he could tell something was wrong. The music had stopped playing, the car was not making any sounds. "Hey are you alright?" a voice asked. "..." he said nothing, blacking out. Back at the track, Kar had no idea what had happened to Jake. He was on his 3rd race against a ford mustang. "Man this is going to suck. That guys must have over 50 grand in that damn thing." The tree lit up and the two were off. Kar had the jump but the mustang had to much power and put a quick run if 9.582. Kar passed the line in 9.918 "DAMN IT!" he yelled. Knowing that he had lost he pulled off the track and collected the winnings for his last 2 races. He pulled out of the parking lot and headed for the lights. Before he turned to looked to his right and he noticed something that caught his eye. Two tow trucks and an SUV. He turned left to see what all the fuss was about and he saw the one thing he didn't want to see. A mangled and destroyed VW R32. Quickly pulling off to the side of the road he jumped out of the car and ran to Jakes car. Seeing the drivers seat of the car covered in blood and empty, he feared the worst. Running over to a police officer he only had one question on his mind. "Sir? Do you know what happened to the driver of that Volkswagen?" "I'm sorry, but I cant give out any of that info." "Please sir, I'm his boyfriend. Where did they take him to?" "Well in that case they took him to Exeter hospital." "Thanks. Walking back to the mangled R32 Kar couldn't help but break down in to tears. He fell to the ground next to the car and cried. "Why! Why couldn't you have hit me instead?" One of the officers walked over to Kar and picked him up off of the ground and helped him back to his car. "If you really want to see him you might want to get to the hospital." "Thanks. I will. Can I have the car towed to his house?" "Sure. I will tell the tow driver to do so." Starting his car he quickly made his way to the highway. Trying to remain calm, he sped to the hospital. He couldn't help but think of the worst. He wouldn't be able to live with out his fox. Pulling in to the parking lot he slammed his door and ran in to the building. "I'm looking for the room that Jake Fon is in please." "He is in ER room 3. If you would like to see him the room has glass windows but you will not be aloud to come in contact with the patient at this time." the young raccoon said. "Thanks." He quickly found the room and was shocked at what he saw. Different machines hooked up to Jake. He was not moving and his eyes were closed. A doctor came out of the room and introduced him self to Kar. "Hello. I'm doctor Quin. Is he your brother?" "No. he's not my bother. He's my boyfriend. Is he going to be okay? What happened to him?" "Oh, okay. He seems to be stable now. He had a large cut and a break on his left arm and a broken left leg. Sadly, at the moment he is in a coma. He has been out sense the crash. He is lucky he had a roll cage in that car of his or he might as well been called in dead." At the sound of the news kar fell to the ground again crying. He spent the rest of the night sitting out side the window of where his mate was quietly sleeping.
