I do not own Need for Speed.

I am driving back to the airport after filling out a ton of paperwork for Ingram on the Mustang when my phone rings. I look down and see an unknown caller. I give my phone a questioning look and answer it.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Is this Abigail Miller speaking?" A man's voice asks.

"Yes," I say. "Do you know a Tobey Marshall?" The man asks. "Yes, I do. What's happened? Is something wrong with Tobey?" I ask stopping the car on the side of the road.

"Ma'am, Tobey Marshall was arrested today for causing a crash that killed someone. Ma'am, we are contacting you because you are number one on his emergency call list. And we were just informing you about the situation. Mr, Marshall's court date is in four days." The man keeps talking but I stop listening. Tobey would never kill anyone. He's not the type of person to do that. "Ma'am, are you still there?"

"Yes, where is he being held at?" I ask as I get back on the highway so I can find an off-ramp, so I can turn around.

"Mr. Marshall is being held at Mount Kisco County Jail." The man says. "Okay. Can I visit him?" I ask. "Yes, Ma'am." The man tells me. "I will be there in thirty," I say hanging up the phone.

I scroll through my contacts and finding the one that I haven't used in a long time and hoping it's still a good number. I press the call button. It rings for two rings.

"Abs?" The man asks.

"Hello, Joe," I say speeding to the jail that is holding Tobey.

-At the Jail-

I meet Joe at the jail and he explains what has happened. Apparently, Tobey and Pete were racing these illegal cars when Tobey's car went out of control and hit Pete's car. Causing Pete's car to go over the bridge and then burst into flames.

We walk into the jail together and ask to see Tobey. We are led into a room with multiple chairs and tables. We sit down at a table when Tobey walks in, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and chains on his hands. He sits down in front of us and he looks like he is about to cry.

"Tobey, what happened?" I asked holding my hands in my lap so I don't reach out and grab my old friend's hand.

"Dino. Dino did this and is making me take the blame." He says in a sad and small voice.

"Tobey, they said Dino wasn't there. He had an alibi and someone backed it up." Joe says.

"He just left him there. He didn't even stop. He hit Pete and just kept on driving." Tobey says with tears in his eyes. He looks up at me.

"Why are you here?" He asks. I look at him.

"They called me. Apparently, I am your first emergency contact." I say looking at the table instead of his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I completely forgot that you were even on my contact list." He says as he starts picking at his fingernails.

"Well, we have to leave Tobey. We're going to try and clear your name. See you at the courtroom." Joe says and we stand to leave. "Bye Tobey," I say looking into his blue eyes.

We leave the jail and before I leave, Joe grabs my arm.

"You can't leave again. He was broken when you left last time and he just got fixed up before you came back. You can't do it again. You either stay or you leave and never come back, Abbie." Joe says in a serious voice and letting go of my arm.

"I'm going to stay. When is Pete's funeral? I want to be there for you guys. Especially Finn. You know how he gets." I say and I take a deep breath and let in out. "I won't leave again. Not like I did before."

"You better not. Pete's funeral is tomorrow. Somehow, they made where he can be buried tomorrow. Meet you at the cemetery?" Joe says walking to his car.

"Yeah," I tell him as I get into my car. I have a ton of phone calls to make.

-At the Cemetery-

I follow the group next to Finn, who is taking the death of his friend hard. Last time I saw him cry this hard was back before my mom died. I grab his arm and wrap my arms around it. I try to comfort him as much as I can.

We pass by my mom's grave and I don't stop but by the looks of it, someone is visiting her because there are flowers next to her tombstone. I look away and continue to try to not fall in these heels.

We gather around Pete's casket and Anita is sobbing while leaning against Dino. Dino doesn't even look sad. He sees me staring at him and I glare at him and he glares back. I look away when Finn starts to sniffle as the priest starts to talk.

The funeral ends and I wait for Finn to start walking when Anita looks at me. She walks over and wipes her eyes.

"Why are you here?" She asks giving me a glare.

"I'm just here for the guys. I didn't know Pete but he seemed to be a sweet and kind kid." I tell her while Finn stares down at me.

"You shouldn't be here. I don't care if you are here for the guys. But you shouldn't have come. Tobey killed my little brother and now you're back in town. This is just great." She rants on and I just let her because she just lost her little brother.

"Come on, Abbie. Let's go." Finn says pulling on my arm. I give Anita one last look and then follow Finn away from Pete's casket.

-At the Courthouse-

Benny, Joe, Finn, and I are sitting right behind where Tobey is sitting. We are waiting for the judge to tell us Tobey's sentencing. I want to comfort Tobey so much but I sit on my hands so I don't do something stupid. The judge looks at Tobey.

"Mr. Marshall, I am sentencing you to two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter for the death of Pete Walker." The judge taps his gravel and the police take Tobey away. I just sit there, not believing that Tobey is going to prison.
