Chapter 1

"Were you even going to tell me?!" Jess stormed into the garage. It was empty as she knew it would be, except for the one other person there. She had just left the others after finding out the news about Han.

He was leaving. He was leaving her. She knew it wasn't a lie, no one would dare make up something so ridiculous. She walked straight to the RX-7 that Han was leaning over. She didn't stop to admire his orange and black ride like she usually did. She was pissed off and just wanted to hit him. But she didn't, instead she just stared hard into his eyes. With her arms folded across her chest, she waited, demanding an answer.

"Jess…" he began. "Don't be mad. I was going to tell you." She could tell he wasn't lying, but that didn't help her anger at all.

"Yeah? When?" She asked stubbornly. "Right before you left for the airport?" He started towards her.

"No. Tonight." He stopped when she changed her stance.

"Yeah, after everyone else," she said as she rolled her eyes. He didn't say anything. Han knew there was no reasoning with her when she was annoyed like this. And sure enough, "Arrrgh." She threw her hands up in the air, and stormed back to her Silvia. But before she even got her seat belt on, Han was in the car with her.

"Get out." She said calmly. He didn't move, so she started to drive off.

"I know where you're going, and I really don't think you should be drifting there right now." He said in the same calm voice she had used. He realised that that was probably the worst thing he could have said. She sped up after that, not slowing down for anything. She thought to herself, 'was he trying to piss her off? Obviously.' There was only one time when she had lost control of the car and it had happened when she was really upset about a friend that had died. After that, he never liked her behind a wheel when she was this upset. Although she had driven just fine plenty of times after when she was annoyed or pissed off, he just preferred it when she didn't. Han was silent in the car after that, but his eyes didn't leave her face. She glanced at the speedometer, not really caring how fast she went, just looking anywhere, so that she didn't have to see him out of her peripheral vision staring at her. She was nearing 150km/hr right now, but she was calm. She saw him relax slightly after he had glanced at the speedometer too. But after that, he continued to gaze at her. It was pissing her off quite a bit.

"Stop staring at me." She said through gritted teeth, after she had had enough. They had reached the mountains and she was swiftly drifting round the sharp turns. She was trying not to think, but it was hard. Why was he leaving her now? She was used to Han running away. Except that he always took her with him. They would bail out of a bad situation together. That was just how they were.

She couldn't take the thoughts anymore and stopped the car suddenly, pulling over to the left and getting out. Folding her arm across her chest and running one hand through the hair that wouldn't stay out of her eyes, she stopped and tried to gain control of her emotions. It was too hard though, and soon she felt the warm tears, streak down her face. Her back was turned to where she assumed Han was still sitting in the car. She didn't expect his strong arm to wrap around her waist and pull her back to him. She fell back into him resting her head on his chest, the tears still rolling down. If she looked at him, she knew they would never stop. After holding her there for a few moments, he turned her around to face him, but she just buried herself into his chest again. Another few moments passed and she calmed down finally. He pulled her away from him and tried to look into her eyes, but instead she just stared at his jumper playing with the material on his sleeve. Jess was concentrating hard on it, avoiding all eye contact. He placed his hand under her chin, whilst still holding her around her waist. Lifting her head up so that she couldn't not look at him, he said "It's for the best you know? I can't keep asking you to come with me every time I get myself into some deep shit."

"You know you don't have to ask me. I want to come. I always want to go with you." She said it with such resolve, that he knew it to be true. It was only because she didn't know any better, he kept telling himself. She had the whole world ahead of her and he kept dragging her down with him.

"Han, you're family and I don't want you to leave me," she pleaded. And it was true. After meeting in L.A with Dom's crew, they had become family. After the crew had to split up to get rid off the heat that had focused on them, Jess decided to go with Han to Japan, instead of staying with Dom and Letty. She had grown up with Dom and Letty and the other guys, but knew that Han needed her, even if it was to keep him on a slightly less dangerous path.

It was after this sentence that Jess realised the truth of what she had just said. Han was family but she loved him differently. More than just any of her other crew members. She really loved him. And that's why it hurt so bad. Just then, like magic almost, something shifted between them. It was like she was seeing him for the first time in a long while. Reaching in towards him, she did the thing that was most unexpected between them.

She kissed him.

At first she didn't know if he would even kiss her back or if he remotely felt the same way. But then the hand on her chin weaved into her long brown hair and he reciprocated all the emotion she had thrown into the kiss. She held onto the front of his hoodie, holding on as if he would suddenly disappear if she let him go. They broke away from each other after a few minutes gasping for breath, his head resting on hers. "Jess," he began slowly, "I can't stay and I can't take you with me." He looked her straight into the eyes and she knew that this, whatever it was that was happening between them, didn't change anything. He would leave her and she had no say in the matter.

She pulled away from his grip and started back to her car. Before she got even a metre away, he grabbed her wrist, turning her to face him. She steeled herself for the final emotional blow. She didn't know if she could handle the rejection as well as him leaving. "You don't understand today, but you will one day." She kept her face hard and nodded, walking back to the driver's seat of the car. After Han got in, she drove to the garage.

They hadn't said anything in the car the whole ride home and once Jess was parked, she headed inside, not bothering to say goodnight.

"I'm leaving tonight." He said suddenly, before she had even reached the stairs. He was going to wait another day, but couldn't be around her any longer. It was too painful for him. She was right, they were family and now he definitely felt something more for the girl who had changed his life without even knowing it.

R&R if you want LOL.
