Rose woke up to the sound of a car's motor, she got up and looked outside and saw nothing, it was her imagination again, playing tricks on her like always....since her mother died she had grown accustomed to the nightmares and her imagination playing tricks on her.

Rose got dressed in some racing clothes and snuck out of the house while her father slept, she crept to the garage and pulled a blanket off of an old car, her mother's car to be exact. Rose grabbed her helmet and opened the garage doors, she grabbed the keys and climbed inside the vehicle.

"Who's to say I can't have a little fun, right?" Rose said to herself smiling, she put the keys in the ignition and turned them, starting the car with a loud roar, luckily Rose's dad was an extremely heavy sleeper.

She drove out silently to the racecourse and went in, she lined up where her mother last was on the track and counted down in her head.

GO!

And she was off (burning some rubber in the process)

She sped around the track like her mother used to, pretending there were other racers like her

She came to the second lap and saw her father at the gate, he was calling out to her

whoops.....busted

She stopped by the gate and looked at her dad's face, he was furious

"Rose! Why are you in your mother's car and why are you here!" He yelled making you shake "You know you're not allowed here anymore since the accident...." he said his voice softening

"I-I'm sorry dad I just missed her and doing this reminded me of her so much......and like her I've always wanted to race, so I thought I'd take the car for a spin......" you said calmly

your father sighed, you could tell he walked here and didn't use the truck

"Rose can you give me ride home, please.....I didn't bring the truck" your dad laughed slightly embarrassed

You laughed "sure dad, jump in"

He climbed in and buckled up

"U-Um R-Rose? A-Are you sure you know how to d-drive this thing??" Your dad sounded so scared at the moment, but you nodded in response instead of laughing your head off

So you and your dad drove home quietly, you put the car away and went inside and sat down on the couch

Oh, why did your dad have to ruin the fun and all the great memories??
