Brian was racing on the road around nine pm and Dom watched his boyfriend from the passenger seat.
Rome had died in a car accident earlier today and it tore Brian apart from the inside out.
" Baby talk to me". Dom said but Brian didn't even glance at his boyfriend and pressed the gas harder.
Dom sighed and put his head against the seat. He closed his eyes and must've dosed off for when he opened his eyes Brian was smacking the steering wheel with tears streaming down his face and got out of the car, slamming the door.
Brian let out a scream before his knees buckled and he sobbed into his hands.
Dom watched his boyfriend break down and waited a couple minutes before getting out of the car himself and pulled Brian into a hug.
" He was my best friend". Brian sobbed
" I know baby. I know".
Brian cried for five minutes before him and Dom got back in the car, Dom driving home holding Brian's hand.
" Your back"! Mia shouted as she saw her brothers enter
" Yeah Mia were back". Dom said and kissed her forehead,
" Dinner's ready".
Brian and Dom made their way to the table and saw the rest of the family was already there.
" Brian eat". Dom said
" I'm not hungry". Brian mumbled and moved his food around with a fork
" Yes you are. You told me before we left earlier that you didn't eat breakfast and were starving".
" That was then and this is now".
" I will literally shove it down your throat Brian! Eat"!
" I'm not fucking hungry Dominic"!
Brian stood up, his chair falling to the floor, and went upstairs before slamming the door.
Dom sighed and looked at the rest of his family who looked upstairs then at him.
" We'll eat later". Dom said and went upstairs
" Go away". Brian said into his pillow as Dom opened their bedroom door and closed it as he stepped inside, sitting on the bed.
" I'm not going anywhere".
" I've heard that one before".
" Listen Bri, I know losing Rome was hard. He was family for everyone else and this isn't what Rome would've wanted".
" You don't know what he wanted! You don't understand"! Brian shouted standing up
" Then help me understand"!
" The last thing he said to me was he'd see me again right before we got in the cars! It's my fault my best friend is died"!
Dom said nothing except pulled his boyfriend into a hug and his heart broke as Brian let out a sob.
Dom moved so the two were sitting on the bed and Brian passed out after ten minutes and Dom sighed before laying down, Brian close to his chest.
Mia peeked through the door and smiled as she saw her brothers both asleep a couple hours later.
LineBreak
Dom woke up to the sound of Brian screaming. He was thrashing around and screaming out Rome's name.
" Hey baby it's me Dom! Come on Bri wake up"! Dom shouted
Brian's eyes shot open along with himself and he put his hand again his chest for a moment.
" You alright". Dom asked after a couple minutes and Brian just nodded before glancing at the clock.
Three thirty five am.
Brian ran a hand through his hair and got up, getting dressed.
" Where you going Bri". Dom asked sitting up
" No where".
" Brian".
Brian didn't say anything. He just closed the door and ran downstairs into his car.
" BRIAN! Don't do this"! Mia shouted with tears in her eyes " Please! Brian"!
Brian shook his head and went to back up only to see Dom standing there with his arms crossed across his chest.
" Get out of the car Brian". Dom said as the rest of the family arrived outside " Now".
Brian looked at Dom then at Mia and backed up the car full speed. Dom got out of the way and hopped in his own car.
Brian saw Dom in his mirror and went faster. Dom smirked and went faster also.
" Shit". Brian said and weaved through the small traffic and he felt his mind wander to his and Rome's last conversation.
*Yesterday*
" Yo homie what's up"! Rome shouted as he saw Brian arrive at the race
" Nothing man. How about you. What have you been up to".
" Enjoying being free man".
" Yeah I know the feeling. We've come along way since we first met".
" Hell yeah we have".
" I'll tell you everything you missed man".
" Yeah when I see you again. Right now I'm gonna kick some ass".
" When I see you again your ass is gonna be grass".
Brian and Rome both burst out laughing and gave each other knuckles before getting in their cars.
The race started and a few minutes later Rome's car flipped over. Brian braked, not even caring about the race, and ran over to his best friend but never made it as the car burst into flames. Rome still inside.
Present
" BRIAN"!
Brian snapped out of his daze as Dom screamed his name and his eyes widened as another car almost slammed right into him.
Brian stared at the guy and he recognized him as the one who killed Roman.
" Alright pretty boy let's do this". Brian said switching gears and went faster
" BRIAN"! Dom shouted and followed his blonde boyfriend " Bri what the hell are you doing"! He shouted into the walkie talkie
" He killed Rome". Brian growled and hit the guy with his car
" Then were gonna need the crew".
Mia, Vince, Jesse, Letty, Tej, Han and Giselle arrived and Dom smirked.
" Alright Brian what's the plan"! Tej shouted
" Kill this son of a bitch"! Brian shouted and slammed the guy with his car again
The guy smirked and pulled out a gun. He fired at Brian and he leaned as far against his seat as he could.
" Dom! He's got a gun"! Brian shouted and grunted as he got hit in the shoulder then let out a small scream as he hit him just below his ribs.
Dom shouted Brian's name as he saw him lose control of the car for a couple seconds but managed to gain control.
" I'm hit". Brian hissed as he adjusted himself " Twice".
" Your done". Dom said
" I'm not done until this guy is dead".
" Bri let us handle this".
" No. He was my best friend and I'm doing this with or without you. it's ride or die remember"?
Brian once again shifted gears, grunting as he took pressure off his wound for a split second, and sped up even faster.
" Brian stop". Han said as he saw the blonde loose control once again
" He's not dead yet".
" No but we are! Everybody move"! Letty shouted as she saw the guy that killed Roman throw out a grenade.
The grenade exploded by Brian and he couldn't dodge in time. His car flipped over in the air and Dom's heart stopped as the car hit the ground and tumbled non stop for what seemed like an eternity.
" Shit"! Jesse shouted and got out of his car along with everyone else
Brian groaned and tried to move but his body had had enough and wouldn't allow it.
" Dom". Brian whispered before he felt his eyes close and heard Dom screaming his name.
Dom helped Brian out of the car and into his own before quickly driving off.
" Come on Buster stay with me". Dom said and rushed Brian into the hospital
The doctors took Brian and Dom started pacing while the family just say down and waited to hear about their family member.
" Family of Brian O'Connor Toretto"? The doctor asked as he stepped into the waiting room
" How is he". Dom asked immediately
" He'll recover. His injuries were bad but he'll make it. Brian will be released in a couple weeks but even then needs to be watched at home".
" We'll make sure of that". Letty said and the doctor smiled
" You may see him now if you like. He's not awake though".
" Go Dom".
Dom stared at his family and nodded. He followed the doctor and the doctor said he would be outside while Dom talked to Brian.
Dom walked in and he felt himself want to look away. Brian was hooked up to machine's, wires, a tube was down his throat to help him breathe, and he looked so small.
" You scared the shit out of me Buster. Your so damn stubborn but I understand why you did what you just did. We'll catch this bitch but you gotta stay with me. I can't lose you".
Dom gave Brian's hand a light squeeze and kissed him on the forehead.
" I can't lose you". Dom whispered and sat by Brian's side all night long his hand in his own, never letting go.
