Statues Without Eyes

Finally it was the weekend I had been waiting for. The weekend that my boys, Kyle, Keegan, Mark, Caleb, and Tyler were going to race again. I spent the rest of the week with normal practice then yesterday it ended at like 7:30 since I let them go home to rest since they had to be at the track by 6am. Mainly since they had press at 9 then racing and meet and greets throughout the day but I prepped them all on what to do with press like what not to say, how to avoid an uncomfortable situation, those things.

So by 5 am, I was out at the track already, getting the bikes out of the trailer, making sure everything was good on them and then waiting for those 5 to roll out of bed. It was cold too which sucked since that meant I had to leave Ryan's warm bed and move out of his arms to get out here. I just hated the mornings since no matter where you are, it's always this cold out but luckily it would warm up after a while. By 5:35, Caleb and Kyle slowly walked towards me looking like zombies followed ten minutes later by Keegan, Mark, and Tyler.

"Sylar, it's too cold and early to be out here,"whined Keegan.
"You'll get used to it,"I smirked as him as I watched them all crash on a chair, the ground, fence, or Keegan who parked himself on the trailer ramp.
"I'm cold,"Tyler whined out.
"Go do some laps around the track,"I laughed at him,"You'll warm up. And stop with the whining."
"But-"
"Hey, you wanted to do this,"I looked at them,"You'll get used to it and if not find a way to stay warm. I better not hear anymore whining or complaining now."
"But one more,"Mark pointed out,"You're boyfriend's headed this way."
"That's not a complaint,"I smirked at him as I seen Ryan walking towards us.
"It is when we have to see you kiss,"Keegan looked up at the sky which I threw a shirt at him while walking towards Ryan.

"Hey,"I smiled at him as he handed me a hot cup of cappachino,"You didn't have to be out here at 6."
"I know,"He smiled back,"But the bed was cold and I figured you could use some warmth."
"Thanks,"I took a sip of the warm liquid feeling go through my body.
"Hey how come she gets caffience?"Caleb looked towards me.
"Because I'm not racing,"I looked at him rolling my eyes as I looked at him.
"At least she better not be racing,"Ryan smirked at him,"Or doing any tricks."
"Just take the fun out of it,"I glared at him.
"Sylar, seriously."
"I'm not,"I nodded at him.
"So cold,"Mark whined.
I rolled my eyes as I looked at Ryan,"Do me a huge favor and get these boys some hot chocolate so I don't have to hear it anymore."
"Ok,"He laughed,"I'll be right back."
"Thanks,"I smiled as I watched him walk off then headed back to the trailer while lightly kicking Keegan on the ramp,"Get your skinny ass up."

A while later, Ryan came back with the hot chocolate for the boys which in turn woke them up since now they weren't zombies but still they acted like earlier this morning which is typical. Ryan was basically camped out next to the trailer for the time being since the race hadn't started.
"Is Horatio coming?"Ryan asked.
"I think so,"I looked towards Kyle,"Hey Kyle is H coming?"
"Yeah at 9:30,"He nodded.
"Yup,"I smiled at him.
"I could've done that,"He rolled his eyes.
"You could've but didn't,"I smirked.
"Sy, it's like 8:30."
"Oh,"I got up,"Gotta go. I think I seen Natalia, Eric, and Calleigh show up now."
"I'll see you later then,"He kissed me on the cheek quickly as he walked off and I headed to press with the 5 now awake boys.

After the press thing was done, I gave them all their race schedule which was going pretty good I have to say which I was proud for them. Then by noon, it was one of the meet and greets which Ryan came back over to just to stand off to the side while we did them.
"Ok, so remember boys, no taking any sexual favors and no marriage proposals,"I smirked at them.
"Same for you,"Caleb teased back.
"Honestly,"I smirked at him,"I've lost count in how many times I've heard them, it's become the new way to say 'what's up' to me."
"Um ew,"Kyle shuddered.
"Eh, you'll get used to it."

While doing the meet and greet, I watched as the boys had a blast when a few fans approached me which I didn't mind since I knew it would happen.
"Sylar, are you going on the road again?"asked a guy who stood in front of me.
"Not for a while,"I smiled while signing,"I'm staying in Miami for a while to coach these guys but I'm thinking about taking them on the road when school gets out, just don't tell them yet."
"Sweet,"He smiled as I handed back to the paper to him,"So are you doing any tricks tonight?"
"I wish,"I smiled at him,"I'm still in recovery but hopefully I'll be back out there soon."
"Sweet, can't wait,"He smiled as he walked off then this girl who had been a big fan of mine walked up to me.
"I love your riding."
"Thank you,"I smiled at her.
"I just sucks about the last crash."
"I know."
"And sorry to hear about Drake, he was great too."
"He was,"I smiled at her lightly,"He'd be happy to know this fans haven't turned their back on me or anything."
"Nah,"She smiled,"We all knew you were close and miss him probably the most."
"Thanks."
"Hang in there,"She smiled as she took her picture than walked off.
Then came the annoying part, when the gossip like fans came over to talk to me, mainly two girls who were staring at Ryan from a distance.
"Hey, Sylar."
"Hey,"I smiled brightly at them.
"So who's that guy that's been hanging out with you a lot lately?"The one pointed towards Ryan as I turned to look at him.
"Yeah,"The other added,"He's so like hot."
"And he's so my boyfriend,"I laughed at them.
"Seriously?"They both looked at me.
"Yes, and a CSI,"I nodded watching their reactions.
"You're so lucky."
"Thank you,"I smiled at them which they said their byes then turned to leave.
They of course walked past Ryan and smiled then gave this flirty wave at him which I thought was hilarous as he watched it happen. Ryan walked towards me looking scared as he stood next to the fence post while the crowd died down.

"Those girls freaked me out,"Ryan looked at me.
"They had the biggest crush on you,"I smirked,"It's so cute."
"It's not funny,"He crossed his arms.
"Come on,"I stood up to walk over to him and tried to uncross his arms,"It happens, you'll get used to it."
"So do you get marriage proposals too?"
"More than you can image,"I smirked at him,"I don't take them seriously."
"Unless they come from me right,"Ryan smiled which I rolled my eyes at him.
"Don't get jealous of them, they say it to almost everyone."
"I guess I have to since it is your life."
"Yup,"I kissed his lips lightly,"Now if you excuse me, there's some racing to be done yet."
"Hey tonight, want to head to the movies? We could catch a late showing or something?"
"I'd like that,"I smiled as I started to walk off after waving at him.

Heading back to the races, it wasn't until 5 that things were pretty much done since people were slowly leaving. I was packing up the bikes by the trailer as the boys were coming down from their race wins and loses while talking to Ryan. As I was locking up the trailer, I heard someone call my name which I wasn't paying attention to.
"Sylar?"
"Yes?"I asked turning to the direction of the voice in which I seen someone I wouldn't expect to see,"Mom?"
"Hey sweetie,"She smiled at me as I kept my distance.
"What are you doing here?"
"What a mom can't come see her daughter?"
"You always have other motives,"I glared at her.
"I don't,"She faked a smile at me.
"You don't? Really, that's a good one,"I mocked laughed at her,"What do you need then?"
"Nothing."
"Stop lying to me!"
"Sylar?"Ryan walked up to me,"Is everything ok?"
"It's fine,"I looked at him,"Just give me a minute."
"Ok,"He kissed my cheek as he walked off.
"He's sweet,"She smiled.
"He doesn't concern you."
"But he does, he's part of your life."
"Stop trying to act like everything is normal."
"What are you talking about?"She looked at me like I was crazy as I seen Horatio walking this way.
"Aw, the dumb card,"I nodded,"Well let me remind you. The Russian mob tried to kill me, killed my closet friend, and now are after Ryan andt he whole team, don't act like you don't know."
"You wouldn't understand-"
"What you left me when I was 16? Yeah, you're right, I don't understand,"I glared at her,"So here's a brillant idea, stay out of my life and leave me alone."
"Sylar-"
"No,"I went to get in her face,"I'm done with you."
"Sylar,"Horatio walked over to me,"Let it go."
"H-"
"I said let it go,"He looked at me to push me back a bit,"Go to the movies with Ryan, I'll take care of this."
"Fine,"I glared at the woman standing behind Horatio,"This isn't over."
"Sylar,"Horatio warned.
"I'm going,"I nodded at him as I walked off back to Ryan who was watching what was happening.

"You ok?"
"Fine,"I huffed,"Let's just go ok?"
"Ok,"He took my hand as I waved goodbye to everyone else and we headed to the movies.
