Disclaimer: I do not own fast and furious or Brain (unfortunately) or any of the original characters. I only own the storyline and Brain's family that I add on in future chapters depending on if YOU THE PEOPLE tell me to continue =)
AN: italics are thoughts.
Dominic Toretto was surprised to be woken up by the sound of someone whimpering. He sat up and looked around in confusion trying to figure out where he was. Then he remembered, he had been on the bus to Lampanoc Maximum Security Prison when he'd heard the growl of the engine of his baby; his charger.
After getting him out Mia and the other two guys had taken off to Miami while Dom rode to Arizona with Brian. They'd found a cheap motel to stay in and Dom had gone to the bathroom to shower, Brian was asleep when he came back into the room and although had a lot he wanted to say to the kid he didn't want to wake him up, it could wait till morning.
Now here it was 3:30 in the morning and he woke up to Brian whimpering. He looked over at the buster and saw him shaking a little. Is he having a nightmare? Dom thought to himself. He watched Brian for a few more minutes, the kid seemed really freaked about something so he picked up his pillow and through it at him. "Yo Brian!" He said, raising his voice a little to wake him.
Brian sat bolt upright when the pillow hit him. He was looking around worriedly then seemed to relax when he realized where he was. He was shaking a little and his bare chest and arms were drenched in sweat. He looked over at Dom and realized what had happened, then he quickly looked away, embarrassed over having a nightmare and getting Dom's attention.
"You alright?"Dom asked him, a little concerned for the kid. Sure he had betrayed him once and Dom hadn't completely forgiven him yet, but something about seeing him so anxious sparked Dom's protective side that always seemed to rear it's head when something was wrong with one of his family.
Brian didn't trust himself to speak, so he just nodded. Without looking at Dom he tossed the thrown pillow back to him and laid down hoping Dom would just go back to bed and leave it alone.
But of course he couldn't be that lucky.
"You wanna talk about it?" Dom asked. Surprising both himself and Brian.
"Nope." Brian answered quickly. Then he looked, "If you wanna get an early start since we're both up I'm good with that." He said trying to change the subject.
Dom still wanted to know what had frightened Brian so bad in his dream, but he decided he'd let it drop. For now.
"Sure, but I'm driving." He said with a smirk. Brian smiled back and said, "Alright."
AN: It's not as long as I wanted but I wanted to get it up tonight and have to hit the sack so I can get up for school in the morning. Please Tell Me What You Think!
