AN: So I have decided to write another sister story…well because I enjoy sister stories. This just came to me so you guys let me know what you think about it.

Some would say it's fun or entertaining to have a big family. To have siblings running around the house throwing things at you, getting you into trouble, or always having your back no matter what. 1327 East Kensington Rd in Los Angeles, California was the place to where many people lived. They weren't all related but might as well be. Antonio Toretto found himself in a tight spot when his oldest sons best friend was kicked out on his ass and had nowhere to go. Vince Murphy. He just lived three streets down from the Toretto's but never really stayed at his own place. He moved in when he was twelve years old and never left. Then came Letty. She lived three streets down the road as well, just two houses from Vince. She had the tomboyish look going on and could kick anyone's ass that messed with her. She loved two things. Cars and Dominic Toretto. It wasn't but about five or six years later that Jesse Fuller and Leon Rhodes had moved in. So you can say it was a house full. There was Dom, Mia, Letty, Vince, Jesse, Leon, and the youngest…Olivia. By youngest, she was only seventeen, Jesse was just a year older, then Mia, Letty, Leon, Vince, and Dom.

Olivia moved from the bed over to the closet and opened the door. School was coming to an end with just two weeks left till graduation. She was a senior at Downtown Business High School. She planned on attending UCLA in the Fall but she wasn't too sure of what she wanted to study. Mia was going to the local college to get her nursing degree but Olivia wanted to do something different. She didn't want to follow in anyone's footsteps. She wanted to be her own person and do her own thing. "Liv!" She heard her name being called but she ignored it as she began to hum to herself. She rummaged through the clothes before she set on just a t shirt and shorts. "LIV!" The voice became louder. She knew they were standing outside her bedroom door. She rolled her eyes as she stormed over and jerked it open. "Yes?"

"I've been calling your name." Dominic stood in the doorway.

"I was getting ready." It was a Saturday night and what was she doing? Working. Their family owned a diner slash grocery store just a few blocks down the road. It was her turn to work that night and she hated it. Everyone was headed over to the strip to see her father race and she wasn't allowed to go. Racing had never really been her scene. She wasn't into cars like everyone else she was. She wanted to save the world. Her worries were more about the environment and what she could do to stop pollution that was killing all the animals. But tonight was important. It was the last race that her father would do. He was 'retiring.' If you could call it that. That's what they did in her family. They raced. Her father, Dom, Vince…hell even Letty. It was an easy way to make a litter extra cash on the side and they were good at it. But she wanted to be there that night. She wanted to watch her father kick the shit out of Kenny Lender. "Get your things, I am driving you."

"I can walk." She mumbled as she grabbed her glasses off the table and put them on. She reached for her wrist where her hair tie always remained. Her hair was long and black, it slid down her back almost touching her butt. It was straight. Straight wasn't even the word. She could get out of the shower, run a brush through it, and by the time it was completely dry…it was straight. No need for a straightener or a blow dryer. She closed her green eyes and sighed. "He wanted you to be able to go." Dom started.

"I doubt it." She moved past him and down the stairs. "I haven't been able to go to one of these things since the last wreck that he had. I am fine with it. I am. But it's his last race and I think the whole family should be there. Why can't we just close for one night?"

"We can't afford it, Liv."

She shook her head. "Fine. But I am walking." She moved to the door when it opened in her face.

"Hello, my little olive tree." Antonio stood in front of her with a smile plastered to his face. She put her hand on her hip expecting him to move out of her way. "We are still upset, I see."

"You are very observant." She retorted. "I am going to be late and Mia is going to be pissed that I kept her waiting, so can you please move."

"Aren't you going to wish me luck?" He was still smiling. Olivia shook her head as a smile formed on her face. She couldn't be mad at him. She never could.

"Knock 'em dead, Daddy." She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek before wrapping her arms around his neck.

"That's my girl. You always have been my good luck charm." She shook her head as she looked up at Dom who was still standing on the stairs. "I'll see you later on tonight. Just make sure you lock on the doors this time."

"It wasn't my fault last time, so let's blame someone else." She finished talking as she let the door slam behind her.

"I love you!" She heard him yell after her. She laughed as she moved down to the side walk to begin her walk to the store.

Night had fallen, meaning it was going to be completely dead in that store that night. The race that her father was competing in was like the UFC fight of the racing community. Everyone was going to be there. Olivia grabbed the stool next to the counter and sat down. The magazine was in front of her as she began flipping through. She wondered what was happening, who was winning? She sighed when she heard a slap on the table. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think anyone was coming in tonight." She looked up at the dark headed boy who just smiled at her. She shook her head as she bit her bottom lip. "Yes?"

"I actually didn't expect to see you here tonight." He sat down across from her.

"I work almost every night. And it seems every night you seem to make your way over here. Why is that?"

"I tend to be hungry around this time." He smirked. She nodded her head as she looked back down at the magazine. "You seem lonely. I came at a good time then?"

She sighed as she closed the magazine. "What can I get you?"

"I'll just take some chips and a coke." He leaned against the counter. She nodded her head as she moved to the soda machine and grabbed a coke out. "So why is it that you are working on one of the most important nights of your father's life?" She just looked at him. "I mean, this race is his last one right?"

"Yeah." She replied. "And he didn't want me to be there."

"You don't seem the type to be into that kind of stuff."

"And what do you think I like?"

A smile formed on his face as he took a sip of his coke. "You want to see the world. I don't think Los Angeles is your favorite place and I think you want to leave."

"Hm."

"You look at racing, even though it's in your blood, like it's a curse."

"And what makes you think you are right?" She leaned over the counter. He went to speak when she heard an engine that caught her attention. "That's weird." She looked up at the clock. It was ten o'clock.

"What is it?" He turned around and noticed the Nissan parked outside. No one moved from the car though. "Do you know them?"

"It's Vince." Olivia moved from the counter and walked to the opening of the diner. "Hello!" She waved her hand in the air. The door slowly opened as Vince climbed out. "What are you doing here?"

"It's time to close." Vince replied.

"What?" Olivia looked over at the boy sitting on the stool. "We don't close till midnight. Why aren't you at the track?"

"Olivia…I need you to close the store and I need you to come with me." Vince was stern. His face was red. He refused to look at her.

"Liv, I'll see you at school."

"Don't worry about it, Johnny. You can pay me back later." She told him when she noticed he was reaching his money. She turned her attention back to Vince who had moved past her and into the store. "What is going on with you? Is the race over with? You guys usually don't get back till late."

"Stop." Vince told her holding his hand up. He turned around grabbing the pole to pull down the door and closed the shop.

"Vince…" Olivia whispered. "What happened?"

Olivia moved from the passenger side of Vince's car to the sidewalk before walking up the steps into the house. She could feel it the moment she opened the door. The tension. She could almost cut it with a knife. It was almost like they had planned it, everyone scattered from the room except for Dom. Vince pushed her forward into the house before moving past her and up the stairs. "So I gather we lost?" Olivia asked. "I mean Vince looks like someone just killed his best friend, he comes into the store, doesn't really say anything to me, and closes. We lost money…"

"Sit down." Dom cut in.

"I don't want to sit down, Dom. I understand that I am not really a part of this team that you have going on but you do not get to tell me what to do. Where is dad at?" She moved past him to the kitchen. "Did something happen at the track? Did the cops show up? What happened, Dom?" Dom still didn't speak. "Daddy!" Olivia yelled.

"He's not here." Dom whispered. "Oh, Liv." He turned away from her.

"Where's Mia?" Olivia asked. "What happened out there, Dom? What aren't you telling me?"

"Pop was…he was racing…"

"No." Olivia whispered.

"Lender hit him and spun him out. He was going so fast that when he…"

"No." She clenched her teeth together. She could taste the blood in her mouth from where she bit down too hard.

"He died on impact." The tears flowed down Dom's face. "I tried…" Olivia's knees buckled from under her and they hit the floor. Her world began to spin as she heard the echoes of screaming and someone calling her name. It wouldn't process. Her breathing quickened as she tried to draw it the breath, but it wasn't there. It wasn't filling up her lungs fast enough. The tears had flooded her eyes but they refused to fall down her face. She drew in a breath again but it staggered. What? How could this happen? He raced all the time. How did he die? Was it on purpose? Her mind just kept going and going. She felt the hands come over her face cupping it but she couldn't focus. Her mind wouldn't let her. "Talk to me, Liv!"

"I can't breathe."

Olivia squinted her eyes at the sunlight that was shining through the room. It wasn't her room though. She shielded her face as she slowly lifted her head up. It was pounding. She groaned as she put her feet on the cold floor. She was in Dom's room. "Dom." She whispered. There was no one else around. She took in a deep breath. She could breathe again. Her chest wasn't heavy anymore. It didn't feel like there were twenty bricks sitting on top of her. She took another breath. She opened the door and could hear the voices downstairs. "Dom?" It was still a whisper. She remembered last night. She remembered everything. Stay calm. She kept repeating that to herself over and over again. Stay calm. She put her foot on the first step and stopped. This was it. They were orphans now. Her mother had died when she was just eight years old. She couldn't lie. She was a daddy's girl. Deep breath. She moved down the steps again. Oh no. It was coming back. The bricks. She could feel it one by one begin to weigh on top of her chest. She felt the last step and looked up. It was silent now and everyone was staring at her. "Liv." Dom was the first to move from the couch as she took in a deep breath again.

"What happened?" She asked. She felt his hand in hers as he began to pull her towards the couch. Mia was already sitting there with tears streaming down her face. "Mia."

"Liv…" Dom cleared his throat. "Do you remember what happened last night? You passed out on me."

"Yes." She felt Mia's hand in the other one. Her eyes blinked multiple times as she tried to listen to what Dom was telling her but it was no use. She couldn't focus anymore. She didn't want to focus. "I don't remember what I said to him." She finally spoke looking up at Dom. All eyes were on her again. "I was thinking…I don't remember the last thing I said to him." Her lip trembled as she closed her eyes. "He was just here. He was right here." The cries turned into sobs as Dom moved closer to her bringing her into his arms. "I don't remember." She tightened her arms around his body as she began to shake uncontrollably. "I can't breathe, Dom. I can't breathe."

The morning slowly turned into the afternoon, Olivia found herself sitting in the familiar swing on the porch. She kicked her legs back and forth making sure it stayed swinging before she brought her feet up to her chest. Dom had left. She didn't bother asking where he went. He was tough. He always had been. He never showed emotion. He never seemed to care about anything but cars. She breathed in the California air when she heard the creak of the door opening. Vince stood there with his arms crossed over his chest. "I thought you would have gone with Dom."

"No." He whispered. "I decided to stay back. The team headed to the garage, Dom went down to the hospital with your sister…it's just me and you."

"I would have been fine by myself." She let her feet fall to the ground, stopping the swing automatically. "My mind just keeps going over and over everything that happened yesterday and I can't remember…"

"Your mind is giving you time to grieve, Liv. You don't have to think about any of it. You loved your father. We all loved your father. He knew that."

"But did I tell him? Did it come out of my mouth before I left for the store? I was so upset that I was forced to work and everyone else got to go. You got to say goodbye. You remember the last thing you said to him. You know what you said?"

"Yes." He sat down next to her. "He was going to win and we were going to come home and throw the biggest party Los Angeles had ever seen."

"Did you tell him you loved him?" Tears slowly fell down her face.

"Liv…"

"Did you?" She raised her voice looking over at him.

"Yes. I said I love you, pop. And then he climbed in the car and drove away."

"Did I say it?" She looked down at her feet. "Leave me alone, Vince. I just want to be alone."

She took a deep breath in letting it blow it out of her lips before bringing her feet back up. The swing began to move again as she felt him get up and leave. The door slammed as she licked her top lip of the fallen tears. "Did I say it?"

The night air was chilly as she remained seated on the swing. She could hear the engines of the cars as they pulled into the driveway and onto the side of the street. She stared straight ahead as Jesse walked up next to her and sat down. "I brought you some food." She could smell it. It smelled so good. She slowly turned her head towards him. "Liv…"

"You know what I was thinking before you came up? I could hear the engines coming down the road before you even turned onto our street. It was like it was synchronized or something. The way you drive together with Dom leading the pack. You guys created something beautiful." She licked her lips again. "What's wrong with me? Why can't I be like that?"

"Nothing is wrong with you." Jesse moved closer to her.

"I'm not a part of the team. I have never been a part of it. I was always different. I always wanted to be different. I didn't care about cars. I didn't care about the garage and why you guys were always in it. I didn't care about racing and who had the better engine and who could drive faster. I don't care. I don't care about any of it." She covered her face with her hands. "But I cared about him. I cared enough to give a shit about whatever he wanted to talk to me about because he knew I was different too. I don't have that anymore. I don't have him. I don't have…anything." She felt his hand on hers. She sniffed back the tears jerking her hand from his. "Go away, Jesse."

She felt the breeze blow through her hair as she finally stood up from the swing, wrapping her arms around her body, and walking down the steps. She had always loved walking to the store. It was just a few blocks down the street. It was peaceful. The neighborhood was quiet for the most part, unless you had everyone from her house driving by. They could never creep up on anyone. She turned around seeing the headlights shining in her eyes as she shielded them. "Olivia, what are you doing out here?" Dom got out of the car. She shook her head as she turned away from the lights. "I was just walking to the store."

"No." He grabbed her shoulders turning her around to him. "I've been looking for you. Vince said you hadn't left the swing all day but I come home and you are gone."

"I am allowed to leave the house, Dom. I am not a child." She jerked away from him taking in a deep breath. It was what you would call Spring in California. It was hot during the day but the nights were chilly. She shivered as she turned away from her brother.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure." She shrugged her shoulders. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Will you take a ride with me?" She hesitated a moment before nodding her head. Her entire body ached. She really wasn't in the walking mood. She just needed to get out. He opened the passenger side door for her, letting her climb in, before going to the other side, and climbing in himself. Her body slumped to the side as she leaned her head against the window letting the coldness touch her head. "How are you doing?"

She shook her head. "Talk to me." His voice was almost begging.

"I wanted to go." She whispered. "I wanted to be there so bad."

"I know you did."

"But you wouldn't let me." She spoke through her teeth. "You all got to say goodbye and I didn't because…" She stopped. "I don't even remember if I told him I loved him."

"He knew."

"No." She was stern. "That's not the same. That's not right. I should have said it. I should have screamed to him every day. I should have wrapped my arms around his neck and told him every day that he was the best dad in the world. Because he was. He was amazing. He was perfect."

"He loved you, Liv. He loved you more than anything in the world."

"No. He didn't."

"Do what? Why do you think that?"

"Because I don't love cars. I don't love engines. Motors. Tires. Chassy belts." She rolled her eyes. "I don't love any of that stuff. And you do. Mia…Mia does. Vince. Letty. Jesse. Everyone…but me."

"You are different, why does that matter?"

"It matters to me!" She yelled.

"Why?" He yelled back. "You think he didn't love you because you didn't do that stuff with him? You helped him cook, you let him help you with your homework when you know damn well it was you teaching him. You watched those god awful trivia shows with him. You were his little girl…his olive tree." He chuckled. "You might not be like us, Olivia, but you are loved more than anything in this world." She looked out the window again. They were at the beach. When did they get here? "Get out."

She slowly moved from the car and onto the sand. Dom held out his hand for her to follow him. "This use to be your favorite place as a kid."

"I still come every now and then." She moved her hair from her face. "You guys use to tell me I was adopted and I would come running here." Dom began to laugh as he shook his head. "You use to tell me a lot of things. I would have believed you if I didn't look exactly like Mia." He was silent. "Dom…" They stopped walking. "Tell me what happened? I want to know."

Dom shook his head as he took a seat on the sand. She followed him as she leaned her body into his. "He was doing so well. He was coming around the corner, it was almost a blur the amount of speed he had put on the Charger. Lender was inching closer and closer...he clipped him. Just right around the corner, Lendor clipped the tailend causing pop to spin out. He hit the wall...I was already out of my seat. I was on the track just trying to get to him..."

"That killed him?"

Dom nodded his head but didn't look at her. He broke his neck, Liv. He died instantly. Olivia nodded her head as she looped her arm through his and took in a deep breath. "A lot is going to change, isn't it?"

"Yeah." He sighed. "It is. But we are going to get through it. We are a family and we will always be a family."

"Dom's right." Olivia shot up and looked behind her. Vince had his hands in his pockets as he walked towards them. Letty and Mia were holding hands walking down, with Jesse and Leon before them. "We will always be a family no matter what happens. We will always have each other."

"I know." Olivia replied softly. She held out her hand as Vince took it and sat down next to her. She felt someone's arms come around her body, knowing it was Mia. She laid her head into Olivia's back. She had her entire family there with her that night. They sat in silence. They didn't move. They didn't speak. You could barely hear their breaths. Just the sound of the waves crashing and the soft sound of hearts mending back together.

AN: Okay! Let me know what you guys think of the first chapter!
