This is probably a multiple chapter story set right at the beginning of Fast and Furious 4 when Dom leaves Letty in the Dominican. I thought it was potential to have such cute moments between Letty and a lot of other people as she makes decisions leading up to helping take down Braga. (Furious 7 spoilers)

I really hope you enjoy this and that I do these beyond amazing characters justice and portray them as well as I can. Please leave any feedback because I'm open to it all and greatly appreciate it!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters and all mistakes are mine and I apologise for them. Enjoy!

Letty inwardly refused to open her eyes that morning. She didn't need to, to know that the bed was empty beside her. Something in her head seemed to convince her that if she just kept her eyes closed, if she just kept pretending she didn't know, then it wouldn't be true.

Maybe Dom was just making breakfast. Maybe he was outside looking out over the beach. Maybe he was in the shower.

She couldn't hear running water.

A feeling like someone was holding onto her heart and squeezing until she was uncomfortable, intensified. The discomfort grew until it was physically painful and she felt as though she couldn't catch her breath.

The twenty-three year old Latina forced her eyes open finally and scrambled to a sitting position on the bed. Her palm came down on the opposite side, feeling the coldness of the sheets; he had been gone awhile.

"Dom," she spoke, despite her instincts which were screaming at her, telling her just how hopeless it was to try. She knew he wasn't there. But that didn't stop her willing for him to pop his head round the door with that boyish grin as he made some dirty remark about the night before; their wedding night. "Dom," She called out one last time, her voice louder and unwilling, it shook once, but it was enough to catch her off guard.

Letty swallowed back the lump in her throat and then she spotted it. Her gaze landed on the piece of paper lying on the dresser across the room. She sucked in her bottom lip and bit down on it before throwing the sheets off her irritably sweaty body, and stalking across the room warily. The piece of paper stuck to her fingertips as she scanned over the note.

Letty
we both know it's the right thing. I don't need to explain, you know me too well to already to be able to work it out. I'm sorry. I have no doubt I'll see you soon, you always seem to show up just in time for something. I love you Mrs Toretto.

Letty fought the urge to tear the sheet of paper, settling for simply curling her fist around it and listening to it crumple in her palm. She squeezed and squeezed until she felt her short nails digging into the skin painfully.

She fell back onto the bed behind her, sitting on the edge of it as she concentrated on keeping her breathing steady. She was angry, beyond angry. How dare he leave after everything? After she had reassured him.

'We'll figure it out…we always do.'

How dare he disappear like it had meant nothing; she told him 'wherever you go, I go', she had proved that the moment she had showed up in the Dominican Republic.

It was strange, in a way, that they had been able to fall into place all over again instantly. It'd had been a crazy couple of years leading to her finding her way back to him. Fleeing with Leon after their last heist left Letty flying about the place trying to keep on her feet. She had stayed with Leon for a long time; they found it best to stick together. They were family, after all. He was like that big brother constantly watching over her, even when Letty had decided to take off in a different direction after months of searching for Dom, Leon had argued it.

"Dom's a big boy, Let."

The Latina infamously rolled her eyes as she stuffed clothes in a bag, perched on her bed in a crappy motel room they'd been in for a good three weeks between places. "I'm a big girl, Leon," she retorted, earning a sigh from the slightly older guy.

"I know that. We've just been doing so well and clearly so has Dom. We would have heard from Mia or him if anything had happened."

"You're missing the point, man," Letty sighed softly, not looking over to him; instead she zipped up her bag and began searching for her jacket amongst the piles of clothes on the floor.

"I know," Leon muttered, scratching the back of his head. The relationship between Dom and Letty was unspoken, but definitely not unnoticed, not from any of the team. They knew full well just how the two felt about each other and it was a whole lot more than just a sibling bond like the rest of them. Hearing a soft sigh, Letty glanced over her shoulder, pausing her search for her signature black leather jacket and slowly stalking towards the guy.

"Come with me," she spoke after a pause of hesitation. It wasn't a question; it was a somewhat desperate request. Leon looked up, catching her eye and smiled softly at his girl; his little sister.

"And third-wheel ya?" They both smirked as Leon shook his head. "I can't, girl. I can't go back to that. And you know as well as the rest of us, that if we bunch together again, there's more chance of turning heads."

Letty nodded knowingly, but that didn't stop the faint trace of disappointment in her being. Her eyes caught the familiar material just over Leon's shoulder and she picked up her smile once again before moving round him to pick up her jacket from the corner of the room. Leon's eyes followed her, a sad smile on his own lips as he watched her pull the clothing on. This was it.

"You set, then?"

Letty nodded softly in response, giving a one-shouldered shrug as she picked her bag up and slung it lazily over her shoulder. Leon closed the distance between them and pulled the girl into a hug. She groaned irritably even though he knew she needed it, he felt it when she relaxed into his arms and returned the hug. She wouldn't deny him of a hug, but she wouldn't take it without some display of annoyance in the affection given. Letty wasn't exactly the most affectionate person around. He chuckled softly at the expected reaction and finally pulled away.

"Thanks, man. You know, for keeping me outta trouble. For the most part anyway. I've got your number."

Leon nodded "And don't hesitate. You know, if you get lost or something." They both laughed lightly, even though the situation wasn't light at all. They were both saying goodbye to family all over again and this time just as much, if not even harder than the last time. They had stuck together for so long, after all. They'd been supporting each other through it all while everyone else fell separately apart.

"Got it," Letty nodded. And with one last smile shared between the two, Letty was out the door and on her way to the Dominican Republic.
