A/N: All FAST AND THE FURIOUS CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY DO NOT BELONG TO ME

Here is just a little info before we get started on the story. This is my first time writing fan-fiction so please be nice. If you have any suggestions just leave it in the Review and if there's anyone that wants to give me suggestions jus leave it in the review but please be nice….no flames….I love to read fan-fiction and I figured it was time I wrote my own story. I love Fast and the Furious especially the boys! This story will be a Vince/OC even though it has a lot of Mia and OC friendship and friendship only NO SLASH every good character needs a best friend…..maybe a OC for Leon too, but not sure yet. The story is going to start a little bit before the movie and run through it hopefully and past it with a lot more added in. Vince does not like Mia in my story. Im also switching around some storylines. I love quotes and sayings, so…there will probably be plenty of those in my story and I am not taking credit for them….Now with that onto the story.

This story starts off about 3 months after my OC moved to L.A and met the team she is Mia's best friend…. little while before the heists even started and about a year before the movie…it may change though….ok now really here we go this chapter is just a lot of introduction and background sorry if it's a little boring but it does get better I PROMISE

"Mia would you please just stop it!" a young girl of 21 said exasperated.

"The sooner you admit it to yourself Alex the happier you will be" Mia answered with a small laugh.

Alex looked back towards her friend, with a sigh. The two girls were lying on Mia's bed. Alex began to think how she got here. Since they met three months ago they had become inseparable, both were surprised at how quickly they became best friends. Alex had just moved out to California and had known nobody she met Mia at the diner about 3 days after her move and 3 days too long staying in the crappy Motel 6 and Mia told her she could stay with her for awhile and the rest is history from there. A few weeks later Mia introduced her to the team. Dom took an instant liking to the innocent girl which was unusual for him. She reminded him of Mia, but without a family to fall back on. Jesse instantly began to tell her of every car engine he could think of and how she could fix up hers. His excitement instantly put a smile on her face. It took them no time to fall into a little brother big sister relationship, even though Jesse was older. Leon and Alex bonded pretty quickly, he took one look at the pretty brunette with big green eyes, hiding her hurt and he couldn't resist. Letty, well for now lets just say Letty didn't like the girl all that much. Especially since Dom seemed to like her so quickly and no matter how many times he told her he wasn't interested that way, Letty just didn't believe him. Vince, well Vince was a whole other story. Vince couldn't keep his eyes off of her when they first met, His hand lingered in their handshake a lot longer then necessary. Some story tellers would probably say it was love at first site. That instant connection you have with another person. The indescribable feeling you get when you meet your other half. But Vince didn't believe that. Did he? The beautiful brunette had him entranced. But he was the Coyote, the loner, the only relationships he had were the girls that left his bed every night, the ones that never stayed for more than a few hours. The Coyote did NOT get "entranced" by girls. So how did this one do it?

Alex knew the moment she left home her life had changed. She just got in her car and left. Left that little town in NJ to move on to bigger things. She couldn't do it. She couldn't stay cooped up in a little jersey shore town, go to college then work a 9-5 desk job. She loved the excitement of life, the rush. Its how she got into racing. She wasn't the best, but hell she was going to try. She loved the freedom, speed gave her, she felt if she could go fast enough the world couldn't catch her and she could just escape. Its why she left in the first place. She heard Cali was the place to go, and so she went. She escaped the life her parents had planned. The over-protectiveness of her father, and fights with her mom is was all left back in Jersey. When Alex met Mia she couldn't have asked for a better new start to life. Not only did she gain Mia but she met the rest of the team. But that's where her thoughts got confusing. She knew Dom, Leon and Jesse, but she didn't know what she did to cause Letty to hate her but if she was going to Alex wasn't going to beg her to change her mind. Alex's mind then wandered to Vince, with his just-got-out-of-bed look, and his over-confident attitude, but it all attracted her to him. They had been flirting since they met but Alex just couldn't figure it out. Was it just innocent flirting? Or could it be more? Did she want it to be? She didn't even know, relationships scared her, after watching her parents nasty divorce after 20 years and her mom cheating, she didn't have much experience in that department. Alex was interrupted by Mia calling her name.

"Alex!" Mia screamed. "huh…yea sorry what" Alex responded.

"Damn Jersey I was calling your name for like 5 minutes." That was another thing, one day Vince started calling her Jersey and the whole team followed, things catch on quick I guess.

"Sorry Mi I was thinking"

"Yea I saw…intensely too, what were you thinking about? Or should I say who?" Mia smiled that knowing smile.

"Mia stop it…you know its nothing just some innocent flirting, he doesn't even like me that way, I mean im completely different then the girls ive seen him with, ive been here 3 months I can tell what he is interested in."

Mia looked up at her friend, they were similar in a lot of ways but different in some. While Mia had dark mostly straight hair, Alex had curly, brunette hair with honey highlights. Mia had brown eyes Alex had green. She had a natural beauty that made even guys walking past take a second look. When Mia and Alex went to the races they had the attention from plenty of the male population Alex was confident in a lot of things but not always her looks. She could hold an attitude and be a huge bitch, and hold her own in a fight, if you pushed her the wrong way, but she could also be the sweetest person with a innocence behind her. But then you looked in her eyes and know that she has had her own troubles. She was shy around new people, but since meeting Mia and the team she has started to come out of her shell more and be the person she once was before she felt as if the world was placed on her shoulders.

"Alex your gorgeous, and so much fun, plus you know how to race and you love cars, what else could be Vince's type" Mia said lifting herself off the bed.

"Try skanks and ho's" Alex responded.

"Alright maybe you have a point there, but Jersey V likes you I know he does, he acts different you plus since you've been here, I have only seen like 4 girls leave his room"

"Wow 4 girls, he must be ready for sainthood." Alex responded with a frown on her face.

"Well…..umm" Mia stuttered "Yea?"

"Ok so maybe he is a player but he likes you girl I know he does, ive known V since I was born, he's like another brother to me, and even though he has a temper, and is a bit of a hot-head, he is a good guy, give him a chance" Mia said.

"Mi he don't need a chance because I highly doubt he likes me that way…I like him hes a good guy I know that but he probably just wants in my pants Mi."

"Jersey….."

"Mia……"

"Fine have it your way…we gotta go though and open the diner were late already and Dom's gonna kill me"

"Shit your right lets go"
