A new story, they are always fun! i was always a fan of Dom and Letty on the Fast and the Furious, it is my belief that there was too much of a plot and not enough about them, but that's just me.
I know that this has been done a lot of times, but I just fail to find a good Dom and Letty story, suggestions that you might have are great!
As always, reviews are loved and appreciated.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Fast and the Furious. damn!
The day Letty arrived at her grandmothers, she was promised that things would change, her mother had dropped her off and left, leaving her alone with an old lady who was pretty much a stranger to the eight year old girl.
As it turned out, her grandmother wasn't too bad, for the first few nights that Letty stayed there, she was allowed to stay up and play video games, she was given food and every night, her grandmother would kiss her goodnight, there was no fighting, or yelling, there was no strange men walking through the house, just her grandma.
A week after her mother had gone, Letty realised that she wasn't going to come back, it had hurt for a few days, but she realised that she was happy, something that had never really happened to her that often.
She had met a girl down the street as her grandma and her had been walking to the shops, the girl's name was Mia Torretto, she was a year younger than Letty, but she was sweet and that same night she invited Letty over to her house for dinner.
Letty was amazed at the house they lived in, pictures of smiling people decorated the walls and Mia's Dad, Anthony Torretto, who was just as nice as Mia, greeted her.
Mia had explained that her mother had died a few years earlier, Letty had told Mia that she didn't have a mom either, but she didn't have a dad as well, so Mia was lucky. They had been eating when the back door had slammed and a boy had walked in, Mia and Anthony had both frowned at the boy, who walked past them and up the stairs without a word.
Mia explained that her was her brother, Dominic, Dom to all his friends, he was almost fifteen and like his dad, was into car racing.
The Torretto house became lie a second home for Letty, at school, she was in the same class as Mia, who had skipped a year because she was smart, every day after school, they would walk back to her house, or to Letty's and do their homework together, hand out and talk, before one of them had to return home.
Letty spent a lot of time at the Torretto house, usually eating over there and playing with Mia, even as they got older. Dom usually ignored the both of them, except for when he would walk by and ruffle Mia's hair with a rough greeting. Letty was also introduced to Dom's friend Vince, who was just like Dom, into cars.
Secretly, Letty loved watching them as they hung around in the garage with Anthony and fixed their cars, she would sit their and watch them, occasionally she would ask a question about what they were doing and receive a gruff answer from the boys, and sometimes a slightly more softer answer from Anthony.
Mia would sometimes come out to the garage and they would play with her dolls on the ground near the boys, not that Letty really liked playing with dolls, she was more of a tomboy even as a little girl.
The time that they spent together passed quickly, when the girls were eleven, they were deemed old enough to walk from school to the bigger garage that Anthony owned, or to the shop that he ran, instead of being picked up by Letty's grandmother.
They walked there most afternoons and would spend time doing their homework, as well as walking around and watching the men work. Letty began to become attached to the place, she paid attention to everything they would say, asking questions about different parts of the cars and how they worked, the men never paid her much notice, they would answer, not looking at her or really registering her presence. It was like she became a part of the garage, occasionally they would ask her to hold something or pass her a certain tool when they couldn't reach, Letty was always happy to help.
In a way, Anthony began to notice, sometimes he would see her watching and call her over to where he was working on an engine and began to show her all the different parts he was working on, answering her questions and explaining everything to her.
The older boys, Dom and Vince were around a lot as well, they were almost seven and eight years older than Letty and Vince, and thought the two of them to be annoying, but secretly Letty was fascinated with how much they knew about cars and they often became a target of her questions.
When she was thirteen, Anthony Torretto died, she remembered her grandmother picking up the phone and her cry of shock, she had always had a soft spot for Anthony having to raise two children alone and being widowed so young. Letty had walked down the street and gone to comfort Mia, who cried for three days straight.
The funeral had been the hardest part, Letty had traded in her usual cargo pants and tank tops for a black dress like the one Mia wore. She held her friends hand as they watched Anthony being lowered into the ground. It was hard Letty as well who had held Anthony in high regard and always seen him as a father figure, it was difficult for everyone who knew him to see the man once full of life and compassion, reduced to a symbolic coffin being lowered into the cold ground.
The hardest part for all of then had been a few days later, Letty and her grandma had been staying at the Torretto house, to keep Mia company and to care for her, Dom technically had been named her legal guardian, however he had been disappearing every night since the funeral and leaving Mia alone.
That night, Vince had come to stay with the girls, Letty's grandmother had gone home to tidy up everything at her house. Mia, Vince and Letty had been watching a movie, the three of them sitting on the couch, they weren't really watching the movie, the plot never really registering with them and they really just wanted an excuse to sit, mourning.
When the doorbell had rang, Letty had hopped up, being the closest to the door and opened it to reveal several police officers, who had informed Letty that they had an arrest warrant for Dom.
Letty had let them in and returned to the living room, where she told Vince to take Mia upstairs. When he started to protest, she had glared at him and told him in an icy final tone to take Mia upstairs, he unwillingly obliged and Letty turned back to the cops.
They told Letty that Dom had almost beat a man to death with a wrench, as they told her, Vince had come down the stairs, hearing this, he had almost beating up one of the cops, Letty had pulled him away and shoved him into the kitchen to cool down. The cops took statements from the two of them, when Vince had calmed down, then they had left, warning them that it was vital that Dom showed up.
He did, he came home almost two hours after the cops left, the front of his shirt was drenched in blood, apparently, the guy had tried to defend himself, Dom had a cut across one eyebrow and a split lip. Letty walked upstairs to the bathroom to get the first aid kit, looking in Mia's room, she saw that the young girl was fast asleep, there was still tear tracks on her face.
Returning to the kitchen, she heard the name 'Kenny Linders' and knew what Dom had done, Kenny Linders had been the man who had sent Anthony into a wall during a race, he was the one whose blood was covering Dom's shirt. She cleaned up his face as best she could and then him and Vince drove down the police station.
The judge had sentenced him to five years in prison, Mia had broken down hearing this, it was too soon after losing her father that she had to lose her brother too.
Letty watched him being led away in handcuffs, one arm around Mia and the other resting on Vince's should as he tried to remain composed and not attack the men leading Dom away.
The next few months were hard on all of them, custody of Mia, being a minor was given to Letty's grandmother, who had proved more than capable of taking care of the girl, but even though she was her guardian, Mia continued to live at her house, with Letty staying there most of the time to keep her company.
Mia's thirteenth birthday passed as a sad affair, she was allowed to talk to Dom on the phone that morning, and Vince and Letty's grandmother had come over with a cake and they had sung happy birthday. Later that night as Letty and Mia had sat on the couch, listening as a storm raged around, Mia had confessed that it hadn't been a happy birthday, and Letty understood. Her own birthday fell six months after Dom had been locked away, the four of them gathered to sing happy birthday, but it was slightly more cheerful than Mia's. the girls busied themselves with school and the garage, Vince who was basically running things had finally realised Letty's potential and had her basically working all the time, after school and on weekends it wasn't long before he could boast that she was better than most of his mechanics.
Mia herself kept pretty busy, she did the bookkeeping for the garage and ran the store, usually with Letty's help.
When Vince wasn't at the garage, he had a thing for racing in the street at night in the Nissan Maxima he had modified, something that he and Dom had been working on besides other projects. As it turned out, street racing was where he and Dom had disappeared to at night, it was never really in the same place all the time, but a good driver knew where to go. Vince took Letty and Mia along sometimes, Letty had been fascinated by the cars, and usually had to be pulled away from the long conversations she got into with the owners. The owners had been more than willing to boast about the many modifications they had made and the speeds that they could race. The best part was the demonstrations she saw, Vince had raced more than once and was usually rewarded with a pile of cash. Most times he took Letty and Mia, he would hand them the pile of money and tell them to go shopping or something, not that Letty actually liked shopping, limiting her wardrobe to a collection of cargo pants and khaki's as well as multiple tank tops.
Time passed, as did Mia's fourteenth birthday, Letty's fifteenth and Vince's twenty second, the three of them were like a family, Vince wasn't always around, but Mia and Letty were like sisters.
It was about three weeks after Letty's birthday that things changed, Mia and Letty were upstairs watching the TV in her room. Letty rolled her eyes hearing a car pull up, thinking it was Vince returning early from the races. looking out the window, she saw a taxi pull up and a man step out, one with a shaved head and a bag slung across his back.
"Yo, Mia." She hissed, Mia ran over to the window and looked down, letting out a scream. Then she ran from the room as fast as she could, practically flying down the stairs, Letty followed at a slower pace. Mia threw the door open and threw herself into the arms of the man standing there with a happy cry of, "Dom!"
He smiled widely and tightened his arms around her, looking down at his baby sister who was practically grown up.
"Hey kid, you miss me?" he asked in his deep familiar voice.
"Let him breath Mia." Letty said as she walked down the stairs.
"Sorry." Mia said, stepping back and letting her brother walk into the house. "I'll go out your stuff in your room and come and talk to you." She promised, grabbing his bag and walking up the stairs. Letty walked up to Dom.
"Hey, how are you?" she asked mildly.
"I'm fine." He replied, Letty gave him a look. "I'm hungry and tired." He confessed.
"Come on, we'll get you some food." She said, walking to the kitchen. "Vince's going to flip when he knows your back."
"How is he?" Dom asked.
"He's good, been racing a lot, but he takes care of Mia and Me." She told him looking in the cupboard. Dom shrugged his jacket off and sat down.
"How has Mia been?" he asked.
"She was bad for a while, but she got better, sandwich okay?" she asked. he nodded.
"What did I miss?" Mia asked, bounding back into the kitchen.
"We're having sandwiches." Letty said, pulling a heap of ingredients from the fridge.
"So how come your back now, I thought you were sentenced to five years." Mia asked Dom.
"Good behaviour." Dom explained.
"Who would have thought that Dominic Torretto would get off on good behaviour?" Asked Letty, placing a sandwich in front of the both
"I didn't." He said through a mouthful of sandwich.
"I'm glad your back." Mia said sincerely. They all heard a car pull up out the front.
"That'll be Vince." She said, standing up and going to open the door for him.
"Why are you still up?" he asked, removing his jacket to throw into the hall closet.
"Someone came to see us." She said mysteriously, walking back to the kitchen, curious, Vince followed.
"Dom, brotha how you doing?" he asked, Dom stood up and hugged him roughly.
"He V man, what's been happening?" he asked, they both sat back down as Mia made Vince a sandwich and Dom a second.
"Thanks Mia." He said, Dom nodded his thanks, his mouth already full again.
"What, did they starve you in there or something?" Letty asked.
"Something like that." He said.
"Man, we gotta have a party to celebrate you coming home." Vince said enthusiastically. "You got off right, you didn't bust out or anything?"
"Good behaviour, I wanted to surprise you." Dom told him.
"We're surprised." Letty said, stifling a yawn, looking at Vince's watch, she saw it was past three in the morning. "Why'd you get in so late?" she asked Dom.
"Had to catch a train, slow fuckin' things." Dom said.
"Well, we're going to get sleep." Letty said, standing up and pulling Mia with her.
"We are." Mia asked.
"School tomorrow, or rather, today." Letty said.
"Right, see you later Dom, Vince." Mia said, walking up the stairs.
"Night ya'll." Letty said through a yawn, following Mia up the stairs.
Letty woke up as the sun shone in her eyes, once again she had left the curtains up when she went to sleep. She rolled over and looked at her clock, which read 9.15.
"Shit." She cursed, getting up and walking to Mia's room. Banging on the door she heard a yawn and then a sleepy curse.
"Damn Letty, why didn't you wake me sooner?" she asked as she came out of her room in her pyjamas.
"I only just woke up, I figure we can skip school." She said.
"Good, I'm going back to bed." Mia yawned.
"Not even going to see your brother?" Letty asked.
"I thought I dreamed that." She said, rubbing her eyes. "Where are they?"
"I bet they're in the shed." Letty said as they walked down the stairs and out into the shed.
"Morning girls." Vince said as he pulled his head from inside the engine.
"Are you supposed to be at the garage at the moment?" Letty asked.
"Are you supposed to be dressed and at school?" he asked.
Letty looked at the tight shorts and tank top she slept in, then at Mia in her giant oversized shirt that Letty was pretty sure had belonged to one of the boys at one point.
"We're skipping school." Mia said, running a hand through her messy hair.
"I'm about to go to the garage, you two coming?" he asked.
"I thought you had a new mechanic starting today." Letty said.
"I gotta show Dom everything, so I need you to show him the ropes." Vince said.
"Whatever, where is Dom?" Letty asked.
"In the kitchen." Vince told her, returning to the car he was working on.
"Ever heard of not bringing your work home with you?" Letty asked as she walked back into the kitchen.
"Morning." Dom greeted the two of them.
"Morning." Letty said, grabbing the coffee and passing a mug to Mia.
"What are you doing today?" Dom asked the two of them.
"Going to the garage." Letty said.
"I might go to the store, give the girls a day off." Mia said. Dom nodded. When they had drunk their coffee, the two of them disappeared up stairs to change.
Dom watched them both walk up the stairs, he could believe how much Mia had grown in the past two years, but what had really shocked him was Letty, his dad had seen so much potential in the little curious girl who wanted to learn about cars, but he had half expected her to be the scrawny, sometimes annoying little girl she used to be, but instead he had found a young woman. she had really grown up, not just physically but mentally she and Mia were like sisters.
That morning how she had walked into the kitchen he had to fight not to stare at her, she was wearing tight shorts that showed off her long smooth legs and a tank top that exposed a lot of tanned, toned stomach and bought attention to all her curves.
He had almost felt relief when the two of them had disappeared up the stairs, only to return moments later, Mia wearing a skirt and dress that was pretty, yet didn't make her look trashy, on the other hand, Letty had appeared in boots, Cargo pants that sat really low on her hips and exposed the top of her underwear, which he noted was black lace, as well as a black tank top, a little longer than the one she had been sleeping in, but still short enough to expose her stomach the slightest. They were talking as they walked down the stairs and it struck him how different they were, yet close as friends.
"We all right to go?" Letty asked, Vince came through the back door, wiping his hands as he went.
"Can you drop me at the store?" Mia asked him.
"I'll drop Mia at the store, Dom you up to driving?" Vince asked.
"Don't have a car." He said.
"You do now." Vince said, tossing him a set of keys to the car he had just finished working on. "Letty, you go with him."
"Right, see you at the garage." She said, grabbing a jacket as she walked out the front door. Dom followed her, grabbing the jacket he had discarded over the back of the chair last night.
Walking to the shed, Dom and Letty got into the car and Dom started in, listening to the engine hum.
"Miss that sound?" she asked.
"Yeah." He said, backing out and speeding down the street. Letty grinned when she saw the speed they were doing.
"Don't want to get done for speeding." She pointed out, Dom lowed the speed of the car a bit.
"You drive?" he asked.
"Only when I won't get caught." She told him.
with the fast speed, they made it to the garage in record time. Letty pulled out a set of keys and opened the big doors, bring light into the room. inhaling deeply, Dom could smell oil and metal, the smell of cars, the smell he missed. Letty set to walking around, turning lights on and looking at what had to be done.
Vince turned up having dropped Mia off and walked up to Dom, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Welcome home man." He said, Dom nodded, a slight smile playing at his lips as he watched the garage come to life.
That's all for now, you know how to review, i hope, so please do so, Thanks!
