Never is a Long Time
Im sorry………. But you will never walk again.
Harry didn't know why those thoughts were plaguing him, it happened so long ago, and he had know idea why now he was remembering them. Today his niece was visiting, and the last time he had seen her, she was in a wheel chair looking up at him with pain filled eyes as he kissed her cheek and boarded the plane to come back to LA. That had been nearly a year ago. She head rang him two days ago, saying she was coming to visit him, that she had a surprise for him; he shook his head of the memories and stared blankly at the desk in front of him.
He remembered the day that he got the call from the hospital saying that she had been in an accident that she was in a serious condition; he had shut down the shop and boarded the first plane to Miami. He had sat by her side holding her hand, and prayed everyday that she would wake up. He had cried that night when the doctor had told him she had broken her back in several places and that it was very unlikely that she would walk again.
He had felt overwhelming happiness when he saw her opening her eyes for the first time, had felt his heart break in two when the doctor came in and said she would never walk again, and he still could see the look on her face when he told her the news. And all because of some stupid race, a race that nearly ended her life.
He was shaken from his thoughts by the door opening, he lifted his head and was greeted by the usual site of a bold head which was soon followed by several other people, he smiled and greeted Dominic Toretto the King of the streets and his team.
"Harry" Dominic nodded his head in greeting, and took in the mans appearance, he seemed to look older then the last time he saw him, and he looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
"You ok? Harry nodded and smiled at the concern in his voice, he quickly glanced over at the rest of the team, his eyes landing on Leon, Vince, Jesse, Brian and lastly Letty, and they all seemed to be surveying him with a look of great concern.
"Im fine, my niece is coming….. And the last time I saw her wasn't very good……. She's been dealing with a lot of stuff, her visit just bringing that back……..what can I get you?'
Dominic glanced over his shoulder surveying his team he raised his brow and the team shrugged the shoulders, the brows furrowed.
"NOS………so your niece she a racer?" Dom questioned, and watched as Harry moved from round the desk and headed for the NOS. Harry stopped suddenly and shook his head turning back to face Dom.
"She was" Dom turned to face his team, their interest peaking.
"Was" it was the hyper voice of Jesse that questioned Harry's answer, because In Jesses mind once you were a racer you staid a racer.
Harry came back over to them placing the NOS onto the desk and nodded his head sadly, memories of that day came rushing back to him, and he dropped his head, hoping that his emotions would stay in order, because his niece needed for him to be strong.
"There was an accident about a year ago……..CJ was in a race, this guy came out of no were………. She was in a coma for awhile; she woke up the doctors told her she wouldn't walk again."
Dominic ran his hand over his bald head and shook his head sadly, the things that people would do to win a race amazed him sometimes and it was usually an innocent person that lost out.
"That sucks man" Harry turned to Letty and he nodded sadly, he handed the NOS over to Jesse and Leon, who smiled in thanks.
The door to the shop opened once again and the group of people turned to see who it was. Leon who was at the back of the group was the first to see her. She was about Letty's height and had the same dark hair, although hers was fairer and was curled every now and then. Her jeans fitted to her hips nicely and the halter top that she wore showed just the right amount of flesh.
He nodded approvingly and turned to the group wondering what they thought about the new comer, when he came face to face with a very shocked Harry. His eyes wondered back to the mystery girl and as she came closer the resemblance between her and Harry was uncaning.
"CJ……….. wha……………….how?" CJ smiled and she walked slowly up to her uncle and flung her arms around his neck holding him tight to her body.
"Surprise"
