Virgin Rush
Summary: Dom and Letty would love each other, hate each other, fight with and die for each other. But it would always be each other. Even from a 16 year old teen with extreme mood swings and a dying need to shove her virginity into his hands; it was all about him.
Rating: M: for sexual situations, swearing, violence, some emotional and physical neglect, the usual emotional turmoil and teenage girl problems.
Pairing: Dom and Letty mainly. A little side story of Mia and OC.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fast and Furious franchise. I do not make profit from the work. But I do make myself smile and hopefully you will also (I like to share). Review are welcome as payment if you feel yourself desiring such.
Note: It's been done before, many times. It's been done well, it's been done kinda alright, but I am doing it also. It's a teenage Letty fic!
I tried to stay as true to the past plot we were drip fed throughout the films, but, obviously, artistic liberties were taken. Not all of this is going to match up, there will be plot holes and I will love the bumpy ride of each one.
As it is a teenage fic, there will be the usual teenage drama of 'does he like me?' and 'am I pretty?' and blah blah, so if you are not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster of a teenage girl, I ask you do not continue.
If, however, you are ready for a rock and roll adventure into the mechanical (I have no mechanical experience, this is all fluffed in my imagination) world of fast cars, sweaty men, female hormones and the singular minded pursuit of the hottie that is Dominic Toretto, then I welcome you aboard to this fanfiction with open arms.
Is it complete or am I going to be waiting three month for another chapter? A wonderful question, and I'm glad you asked. The answer is simple; I don't know. I've been working this fic in my head for about over 5 years (I think five, maybe six) and I started tapping it out over time, mostly with the flow of my Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson crush. I'm currently polishing the 26th chapter for publishing, but it's not actually finished yet, so it might be something like 40 chapters. Yeah, it's a long one. So, my aim is that as I post every two weeks or so, I will have had the time in the meanwhile to finish writing and thus will be able to finish this on such basis of a two week update. You follow? So, unless I get majorly derailed, I think this will be a regularly updated one. At the very least I have 26 done chapters to throw at you until we hit panic stations.
All the warnings are out of the way, now, you may proceed with plot, tada!
Chapter One; Red Friday
Red faces. Nothing but a sea of red faces spilling from the gymnasium.
Seniors smirked knowingly while freshmen stared wide-eyed.
The gym halls 1 and 2 poured out embarrassed faces at the last bell. Lips were held together by mortification, nobody daring to say a word as feet walked faster than ever in a silence that made grumpy Mrs Herbert's library rules seem louder than a riot.
The ruby cheeks merged with younger and older years and the secret was out, it spread like only wildfire and gossip could, everyone knew what had happened in that hall: Red Friday.
Letty numbly followed the body in front of her, mute as the others, just as coloured. Even split by gender, the talk was still enough to take years off her life.
She should have known it was coming, she'd even seen the janitors moving display boards into the gym. But, like always, her mind was focussed on more important things. Like her best friend's brother that was scheduled to pick them up… in about 10 minutes.
Panic flooded her mind, her hands patting at her cheeks to uselessly dispel the blush.
"You'll only make it worse." Letty succumbed to the flushed cheeks as she saw the same sight on her best school friends. "See you Monday, enjoy the ride."
Best school friend was perhaps a push, Letty didn't make friends well and the girl waving a hand at her as she went to find her twin brother was perhaps only made by pulling the short straw of sitting next to her in homeroom at the start of secondary school.
The title of best friend went to someone else entirely, someone sitting on the furthest wall overlooking the parking lot swinging her legs to scuff her trainers on the brick. The best friend who just so happened to be the little sister of Letty's die-hard crush.
"Letty." Mia, best friend and pseudo-sister rose her hand in the air over the flooding of people only to glimpse again over the top of her phone and alert herself to the ruby redness in the crowds.
Mia had been cursed with being born the year after Letty, something she hated with a vengeance, nobody understood her like Letty did. But, on the plus side, it meant Letty with her fearless (and reckless) bravery was usually able to test the waters a whole year before Mia had to. Recon, of sorts. "What happened?" Mia asked as Letty neared and dumped her rucksack to the floor, shoving her ass onto the wall with Mia, hair hanging down over her face.
"You know what happened." Letty grumbled. And it was putting a damper on her favourite day.
Friday was special for two very important reasons.
One: Dom (Mia's aforementioned sex symbol of a brother) was picking them up from school. That meant they could avoid the bus ride and fight for a seat between sweating adolescents.
Two: races.
Without the Friday races, Letty would have never met Dom or Mia. Dom crashed (literally) into her life and brought with him a fierce burn of passion, along with a scar and sweet memories. If she hadn't tagged along with the kids on homeroom at age 15, she never would have stood talking to Mia, never would have been almost killed by the boyracer of her brother and never would have been half as sane as she was now.
Most kids rebelled and experimented with drugs and alcohol.
For Letty and Mia, they got the same rush from the races, although it was still secret from their parents, it was far far safer (in their opinion, anyway- previous scars aside).
"Oh my god." Mia twigged quickly. There was a reason she was in the top percentile of her year. "You had sex ed didn't you?" The start of the new year brought the looming threat of sexual and valentine pressure to teenagers and with that the teenage pregnancy boom. The school had combatted that with one simple plan: STD day, or more commonly know as sed ex- the stuff you didn't want to see. More effective than a condom. "What was it like?" Mia's curiosity had led to exploration of books and a hunt for knowledge of all kinds.
"You don't wanna know." Letty groaned.
"No, I really do." Mia continued, ignoring the buzz of her mobile held in her hand. Letty knew exactly who it would be. Mia's curiosity above sex was directly linked to that text.
Alex was a transfer from upstate. Tall, blonde and the definition of cute. With an extra side of hot.
But more importantly, he was texting Mia everyday since they met.
Letty pulled the phone from Mia's hand as she ran with dizzying ideas in her head. She unlocked the phone with the code Mia had never changed and read her eyes on the sickeningly cute text.
'What's your plans for tonight cutie? Xx'
What had started out as a study date to catch up the new transfer had turned into a library of conversations about anything and everything.
"Tell him you're jumping off a bridge." Letty droned, chucking the phone back.
Mia blushed and tapped out an equally cute reply completely ignorant of Letty's suggestion. There wasn't anything wrong with Alex, he was a good guy, but it wasn't like they would ever mention to Dom that his baby sister had anyone taking an interest in her. He'd lock her in the basement for the next 10 years, which would obviously have a negative impact on Letty's mental health, so she just couldn't allow that at all.
Last time Dom was aware of anyone male within five feet of his sister he hadn't reacted so well. Mia had hosted a group study project at her house, one of the boys she was working with sat just a little too close and Dom was picking him up, kicking him out of the house and telling him to crush on somebody else's sister.
That had led to the great key hunt of the summer when Mia was 14; daily she had hidden his car keys in revenge forcing him to hunt before he would go to work, or his continuous dates.
She'd learnt her lesson though; dates were top secret.
"Do I look red still?" Letty asked after a few minutes of thought. It wasn't that the class wasn't expected, or introduced before, it was just that in addition to the gruesome pictures, educational videos and myth busting, there was the practical aspect. For the ladies, this included being observed to dress a plastic penis with a condom, and if it wasn't done correctly, it was done, over and over until correct, usually with everyone else in the class staring at you.
Apparently, Letty didn't know her own strength and her stubby nails ripped the latex on her first go, to which the humiliating comment of 'congratulations, you're now pregnant' from the teacher corrupted her confidence entirely.
There were rumours of girls feinting, or guys puking back up their lunch. The only fact, was that the doors opened at home time with embarrassed teens all swearing to keep their genitals from each other until their lust overpowered their memory.
"A little, yeah." Mia finally answered. "Just say you tripped the curb if he asks."
"I don't wanna sound retarded Mia." Letty grumbled, fishing in Mia's handbag for her mirror to check for herself.
"Alright, we tell him the truth, he's had health class too." But the comforting words had the opposite effects. All of those 'dangerous situations' the class had been told to avoid were rushing to her mind, all of them starring herself wrapped around Dom.
Mia sighed, pushing her compact into Letty's hands when they froze. Dom must be the only person alive to not know Letty fancied the pants off of him.
"Did they say what it was like?" Mia asked in a whisper as Letty turned left and right in the mirror before dropping it back to her best friend's bag.
"Kinda…" Letty answered, wondering how much to share.
"Did they say it hurt?" Mia was all about going forward with her relationship with Alex, but the one thing that held her back was the fear of pain. There was a rumour Lacey Green had passed out when she lost her virginity because of the pain. Amy Regald was supposed to have ended up in the hospital because the bleeding wouldn't stop when she lost hers.
Whereas Letty recklessly stepped foot into danger, Mia didn't even cope with a papercut well, she was nothing short of terrified of pain of any kind. "Did they say you could take pain meds before or anything?"
"I don't think you ne-" A familiar roar of an engine cut off Letty's reply and both girls turned their heads to the sweetest ride on the planet.
Mia gave a nudge to her pseudo-sister and they collected their bags, Letty first to slide herself into the backseat of the car.
"What the hell happened to you?" Dom's first words were upon seeing Letty's red face.
"She punched someone, adrenaline rush." Mia supplied, slipping in after Letty. Dom accepted it without another word; Letty was forever known for getting into fights. It was one way they were almost mirror reflections of each other; Dom had a slippery grip on his own temper as well.
"You punched someone? You're only like… twelve." And that was when Mia and Letty saw the passenger side of the car wasn't empty like usual. No, there sat this… well, they both knew dumb blonde was a stereotype, but she was blonde, and sounded pretty damn dumb. It was clear she got by on her looks… and it was clear why Dom liked her. Two great big assets on her chest held his attention.
Letty met Mia's eyes in that condemnatory 'why is she here?' look. It was a flash, barely a second had passed since the stranger spoke, but it was enough for the best friends to convey a host of judgement between them.
And then Letty heard Dom snigger. Fucking snigger.
'Twelve'?
Letty had heard a host of insults headed her way, usually after she'd decked one of the lads on the playground that thought grabbing her was a good idea.
Twelve?
That was what the bitch had said.
Worse; Dom was pulling a smile, giving his laughter freely to the slut.
Letty saw bright red burning in her mind. She was not12. She was not a child.
She couldn't live with Dom seeing her as a child.
"I'm 16, so shut up." Letty snapped, her body aching to lay her fist into the intruder. It usually solved her problems. This was the highlight of her week and it was quickly turning into a slip and slide downhill.
"Hey. Apologise." Dom turned around in his seat to bark at Letty.
And that was what some people would say was the straw that broke the camel's back. The point where everything changed.
"No." Letty hissed, throwing the door back open and stepping out. She'd rather walk home than be in the same car as them at that moment. She wasn't a child!
Dom shouldn't see her as a child!
And if he thought he was apologising to his flavour of the week, he was wrong!
How could he be so far from her?!
"Letty!" she heard Mia call, but she kept storming further from the car, back into the school yard and towards the bus stop on the other side of the yard. "Letty! Wait!"
Mia's footfalls were heard behind her, coming faster and faster and Letty could feel her heart match their pace. Her eyes burnt with tears she stubbornly refused to let fall.
She'd spent the last year pining after Dom, and he still thought of her as a child. Now she wished she had punched someone. Mainly his blonde bitch.
"He's an idiot, Letty, you know that." Mia spoke, falling into stride with her best friend and trying to comfort the broken spirit. Letty turned, spotting the tail end of Dom's car driving off. Yeah, she knew he wouldn't bother to wait. He had more important things to do… like the blonde. Or anyone else that wasn't Letty…
Mia followed her eyes and pulled her into a hug she knew Letty would never ask for.
"I'm not a child." Letty mumbled into Mia's shoulder, her arms shaking down by her sides, the balled fists resting at her thighs. "Why does he always treat me like I'm a stupid child?"
"He's an ass." Mia offered with a laugh, though it did nothing to quell the shaking anger. "You know that. You just have the shitty luck of liking him, though god knows why..."
"Not anymore." Letty declared, but they both knew it wasn't the truth, but the anger suddenly seemed to fall from her shoulders with the decision. "I'm over him." And she pulled away from Mia's comforting embrace sharply. "I need someone else. Someone else who actually likes me! I'm entirely over your asshole of a brother." she spoke to her friend, hoping to believe the words she spoke would make themselves the truth for her feelings.
"Letty… you've been in love with my brother since you met… you can't just… get over him…" she offered the words as easily as she could.
"I don't need to get over him entirely today. I just need to find someone else to replace him." Letty corrected herself, knowing the words possessed little magic compared to the beating of her lusting heart.
"Are you trying to tell me you want to date?" Mia asked, sceptical of who she was really talking to. Possession was not entirely out of the question at this moment; the Letty she knew only ever had eyes for Dom.
"Yeah. Why not? I'm tired of being this child, I want it all done with. I want everything, from first kiss to first fuck."
"Woah. We were just talking dating, nobody said anything about losing it." Mia hissed quietly, though the grounds around them were empty.
"Why not?" Letty challenged, hitching the bag back up on her shoulder and starting the walk again with Mia by her side.
"Why not?!" she repeated, tugging Letty back to a standstill again. "Maybe because all you've ever talked about is saving your first kiss for Dom, and now you want some other guy to take that… and to… well, you know."
"Dom doesn't want me, Mia. He wants skinny twig bitches like Barbie in the car. You've seen the slut parade every time he races. He doesn't want me. So… I'll find someone who does." Letty met the concerned eyes of her friend. "Gotta move on at some point." Letty qualified, feeling a little self-destructive. If she couldn't have Dom… there was nothing else important to her.
If there was no more Dom to save herself for, did it really matter who touched her next?
If her god was gone, what was she left with but peasants… did it matter which one? They would all pale in comparison anyway.
They walked in silence, Mia churning the words over and over, trying to take a stance on the topic she'd tiptoed around for so long. They were metres from the crowd of the bus stop when Mia stopped, tugging Letty's arm to halt her again.
"Okay." Mia spoke.
"Okay?"
"Yeah. You're right. If he doesn't want you, it's his loss." And Letty grinned at the newfound support. Mia had never been judgmental of Letty's crush, these things happened like that… but, she'd never taken a side either… she'd always assumed Letty would eventually get it out of her system and move onto someone else who Mia wasn't related to.
"Thanks Mi."
"But you're telling me everything!" Mia qualified. "And I wanna know what it's like. When you do… you know." Letty laughed.
"Alright alright. I gotta find a guy first." Letty answered, linking her arm with Mia's offered one and letting her dragging them into the crowd as the bus pulled up. Letty smothered her bloody beaten heart with a smile, hoping her best friend would be too enthused to notice. By the flood of male evaluation coming from Mia's lips and the dreamy sparkle in her eye, it was a safe bet Letty could sulk her mood away on the way home.
The school bus stopped a healthy 10 minute walk from the streets Mia and Letty lived on, which meant another 10-25 minutes (depending on how much they dawdled) walk before they would be home. Which, for Letty, meant she could get her update about Alex.
"So?" she asked as they stepped from the bus, ignoring the sweat patches the crammed conditions would have no doubted caused under arms. She hated the bus; it smelled and was entirely too hot.
"He wants to take me to the new Italian place for a date sometime." Mia squealed happily, doing a little dance as she hugged her phone. The bus ride had been a flurry of this behaviour, the giddiness consuming Mia entirely.
"Seriously? That's meant to be really expensive."
"His parents have good jobs apparently." she beamed, twirling gracefully on the pavement besides Letty.
"Wow." Letty breathed, reigning in the jealousy that Mia might beat her to her first kiss.
"Yeah. I know right." Mia grinned, then paused her step. "What am I going to wear? Oh god."
"More importantly, how are you going to get away from Dom?"
"Easy. I'll be at yours all evening of course." She laughed her lie. Mia had a talent of thinking on her feet, Letty was sure it was why she was so clever while Letty struggled to get through her maths exam every year.
"Or…" Letty began. "Instead of going back, you can tell me all the details afterwards, and we can sleepover."
Letty's mom wasn't much of a Dom fan, in fact, she rather disliked the boy. But she was Mia's number one fan. She thought she was a great influence on Letty and welcomed her over anytime, actually, she encouraged it.
"Yes!" Mia exclaimed. "And then I won't have to worry about Dom catching me leaving in my clothes." she added, yet again, something Letty wouldn't have thought of until the day it happened. Mia's brain certainly was a wonderful place. "How about movie night tonight?" Mia began again and it took Letty a few steps before she caught on.
They both knew Letty went to the races to watch Dom race and see all the car modifications. Her mechanical brain loved it. She knew what she was talking about as well, it was why Mr Toretto gave her a part time job at his shop over the weekends. Plus, Jesse and Leon were always there, and they were a laugh a minute.
"What about Jesse?" Letty spoke, her mind elsewhere. But Mia's kept up with ease, another testament to her marvellous mind and their great friendship.
"You'd only be doing that to hurt Dom." She thoughtfully answered. "Someone else. Oh! I can do your make-up tonight if you want to go."
"Yeah." Letty agree, flying on instinct rather than thought (which would have been a no based on her last memory of Mia playing beautician with her). "Yeah. We can find me a man!" Letty exclaimed.
Speculations and reviews are always welcome :)
If I do happen to get a move on with finishing this, I will post more frequently. I promise.
