Prologue
"Hey Mr. T" I said as I walked into the kitchen
"Hey little miss!" He said
Mr. T had always called me little miss, I'm not sure why but he always did.
"Is Mia up yet?" I asked
"Not yet, but why don't you get started on your breakfast while I go wake her up." He said putting a plate of eggs, and extra crispy bacon in front of me. I loved Friday breakfast.
"Thanks Mr. T." I said digging in.
*Pause*
Okay, you must be at least a little confused huh? Well let me clear things up a bit.
I'm Letty Ortiz, and I've lived up the street from the Toretto's for all fifteen years of my life. Mia, Mr. T's daughter has been my best friend since we were in diapers, you see my mom and Mrs. Toretto used to be best friends, they even opened up the Café when I was three so they could work together. My dad and Mr. T went to Army boot camp together back when they were in the military together, it's actually because of Mr. T that I exist today, seeing as how he introduced my parents.
Now Mr. T still takes care of me, you see, my mom died a long time ago in a car accident, and Mrs. Toretto went not long after her due to an unexpected illness. Since my dad works a lot me and my older brother, Leon, are almost always at the Toretto house.
*Play*
I finished my food just as the Devils them selves marched down the stairs.
"Mornin' Shorty!" Vince said pulling at my hair
"Leave me alone Vincent" I said rolling my eyes at him
"Letty you're looking uglier than usual," Dominic piped up, "Did you do something different with your hair?"
I ignored him and looked at Leon
"You know, you really should by them muzzles." I said hopping of my stool and heading to the sink
"Nah, then they wouldn't be able to bother you Lett!" Leon said laughing
"Don't make me clock you this early in the morning." I warned them as Mr. T came down the stairs with a well dressed ready to roll Mia
"Are you boys at it already?" Tony Toretto asked more to Dom
"Nah dad, we're just letting her know that she looks like shit." Dom teased
I was about to say something when I saw Tony's hand fly at Dom's head.
"What the hell was that for?" Dom shouted
"Apologize to her, and I don't wanna hear you talking like that again." Tony scolded
"Sorry Letty." Dom said while Vince and Leon laughed
"The same goes for you two, I can and will slap the both of you as well." Tony warned and their laughter immediately died
I smiled inwardly as I grabbed my school bag and walked out the back door to feed Ace.
Ace was Dominic's pit bull. I hate to say it but if it wasn't for me the poor dog would be dead, I fed him, bathed him, I even walked him. Which was probably why he listened to me more than he did Dom, I took care of him, Dom ignored him.
"Ace! Food!" I shouted as he came bounding through the yard towards me
I laughed as he jumped up on my to lick my face, he was almost taller then I was when he stood up
I picked my bag up off the ground and walked out the gate to meet Mia.
"Mornin Mi, how ya livin' girl?" I said
"You ask me the same thing every morning and I always tell you the same thing, I'm good Letty." She laughed
We talked while we waited for the school bus. We did not ride with Dom or Vince, and my brother normally had to pick up his girlfriend, Sarah Tran, so even though we were sophomores who knew three juniors with cars, we took the bus.
