The NRG stadium is huge, but the parking lot is almost more impressive. There are so many people and so many cars everywhere. You’d think this was Disneyland instead of a motocross race. Kylie and I make our way through the crowds, blending in with the hundreds of motocross fans. It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Houston, and although my nerves had been nearly on fire in the car, I’m actually getting a little excited now that we’re here.

I grab onto Kylie’s hand. “I just realized I’m going to see Liam.”

“Duhhhh, best friend. That’s the whole point of this trip.” Kylie’s eyes wander over to a muscular guy walking with a group of his friends. “Man, this sport is filled with hotties. I should get a dirt bike.”

I laugh. “Just let me find Liam before you run off with another guy.”

Kylie squeezes my hand. “I’m just playing. Today is about you and true love, not about me. I’ll keep my flirting to myself, I promise.”

We follow the people toward the front of the stadium. But then we notice there’s actually two entrances. One goes into the stadium, which is where the dirt bike track is and where the races will be tonight. But those doors don’t open until five o’clock.

“I don’t get it,” Kylie says, looking at me in confusion. “If the doors don’t open yet, how are we supposed to meet the racers beforehand?”

“The racers are in the pits,” I say, nodding toward the left where everyone is walking over to another area of the facility. “We need pit passes.”

She rolls her eyes. “I didn’t realize that. Let’s get pit passes.”

We stand in line for half an hour at the ticket booth, and when we finally get to the front, a bored-looking woman in a polo shirt tells us that pit passes are sold out.

“Are you kidding me?” Kylie says, pressing her hands flat to the metal counter that separates us from the ticket seller. “I need to get into the pits.”

“They sold out a while ago,” the woman says. “Maybe you can find someone and buy their pass from them.”

“Are you sure they’re sold out?” Kylie says. “Is this a situation where I can bribe you and you’ll find some more tickets in the back?”

The woman laughs a big hearty laugh. “Honey, there isn’t anything back here but the sandwich I brought for lunch. I’m sorry.”

We walk away from the ticket window and Kylie presses her hands to her forehead and groans. “Why! UGH!”

She gives me a sad look. “I’m so sorry, Bella. I saw online that we can get here early and meet the racers but I didn’t realize we needed a stupid extra pass.”

“If you had told me about your crazy plan last night, I could have warned you that you need pit passes,” I say.

“No, because if I told you, you wouldn’t have agreed to go. This had to be a kidnapping situation, in the name of true love.”

I roll my eyes. “Maybe this happened for a reason,” I say, gazing at the entrance for the pits.
