Dominic Toretto. The best and worst person to come into my life.
My best friend. My lover. My destroyer.
I gave this man everything I had and here I was, defeated and tired. Tears began forming in my eyes and I knew I was done. This wasn't me. I didn't cry over some pendejo.
Letty Ortiz was a strong independent woman who had put up with Dominic Toretto's shit for much too long, and she was done. How could she let him treat her like this for so long? She had become that girl she swore she never would be and she was determined to never let that happen again. Where was her self-respect?
Letty grabbed her keys, phone, and her wallet. She removed the bulky cross that sat in between her breasts and laid it in the empty spot her body had made on their bed. She left Mia a note and made her way towards the front door, not looking back.
5 hours later, 10:00 AM
Dom woke up with a huge headache. He felt the sun hit his face and began to groan. "God Damn it Letty, close the blinds," he grumbled.
When he was met with no response he called out her name. The memories of the night before came back and he groaned. She was pissed at him, probably blowing off some steam at the garage. He'd fix things later. Right now he was in need of a cold shower.
After Dom was done with his shower he went downstairs and sat down at the table where a sleepy Vince stared at his drink.
"Where the hell is Mia?" Dom questioned, "Did I miss breakfast?"
"Na man, she's in her room. But I wouldn't suggest you go in there. I tried to ask her about breakfast and she nearly bit my head off." Vince said shaking his head.
"Seems like everyone's in a bad mood today," Dom grumbled. "I'm going to the garage to find Letty. We'll be back in an hour or so. I'll see if she can talk to Mia."
"Alright brother," Vince yawned sleepily.
When Dom arrived at the garage he was confused. It was Sunday, typically there wasn't anyone here on Sunday's because Toretto's was closed. But when Letty was mad at him, this is where she was. No matter what day of the week. He pulled out his phone and dialed her number.
"Straight to voicemail, of course," Dom tried her phone again and again with no answer.
Where the hell was Letty?
Dom drove back home and dialed her phone a few more times. He grew angrier and angrier by the second. This wasn't them. Letty never disappeared without saying anything. No matter how mad she was at him.
"Have you seen Letty, Vince?" Dom asked as he walked through the door.
"You mean since your screaming match at five am?" Vince asked sarcastically. "Na, haven't seen her."
Dom went up to their room and closed the door behind him. He sighed and rubbed his head wondering what he had to do to fix things this time. Dom went to his nightstand to grab his wallet when he noticed the cross he'd given to Letty wrapped in between the sheets.
"No," he mumbled as realization began to hit him.
Our fight couldn't have been that bad.
5 hours earlier, 5 AM
Dom walked into the room him and Letty shared hoping she'd be asleep. As he began to undress he heard her voice.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"Letty can we not do this right now, I'm tired and just want to get some sleep." Dominic sighed.
"Where the hell have you been?" She repeated herself, her voice rising.
"You know exactly where I was. At a party at Hector's," Dom replied calmly. "Now I'm going to bed, goodnight." He said as he began to lay down.
"The hell you are," Letty yelled at him.
"Letty what is it now?" Dom was beginning to get angry.
"Did you forget to mention the part where Jessica Tran's mouth was wrapped around your dick?" She exclaimed.
"I don't know what you're talking about, and it really pisses me off when you accuse me of this shit."
"Oh, so it's an accusation?" Letty was yelling now, "What the fuck is this Dominic?" She stuck out her phone and showed him a picture.
Dom just shrugged it off, "I was drunk, okay? Don't remember any of that." Dom laid down and closed his eyes.
Letty made her way to the bathroom, grabbed a container and filled it with water. She made her way over to their bed and threw it in his face.
Dom jumped out of bed quickly, yelling. "Letty what the hell is your problem?"
"You promised me this would stop Dominic," Letty was furious.
"I don't remember anything!" He yelled at her. "What do you want me to say? This is who I am!"
"And this is who I am!" Letty yelled getting in his face. She shoved him back on the bed and started to hit and yell at him. Dom turned them around and pinned her down on her side.
"It didn't mean anything! Get over it!" He exclaimed at her. He turned his back towards her and closed his eyes.
Letty felt the weight of his words and lay back completely defeated.
He wanted her to get over it?
7 hours later, 12:00 pm
Dom clasped the cross in his hand refusing to accept the possibility.
He began to look through her drawers. Everything was there. He looked at the nightstand on her side and noticed three things missing. Her keys, her wallet, and her phone.
"No, no!" Dom began to frantically look for them all over their room. Flipping every piece of furniture over, with the same result. Maybe she left them downstairs. He stood up and noticed Mia in his doorway.
"She's gone Dom." Mia's face was red, and her eyes were bloodshot from tears.
"No, she would have said something, her stuff is probably downstairs." He began to make his way towards the door when Mia's words stopped in his tracks.
"She did say something," Mia handed Dom a piece of paper and looked at him coldly, "I hope you're happy."
Mia exited the room and Dom sat down and began to read the note.
Mia,
I love you so much, but I can't do this anymore. I don't know how much more I have left to give to your brother that he won't rip apart. I've given him everything I know how and he just takes it and stomps on it. I feel like I don't even know myself anymore. I wish doing this didn't mean I'd have to leave you but I need some time. I refuse to be that weak little girl who let other people treat her like garbage. Like she didn't matter. I'll call you when I decide what to do. Te quiero tanto Hermana.
Your sister,
Letty
What have I done? Dom thought to himself.
