A/N: Set after Fast and Furious and during 2F2F. What would have happened if Mia and the team arrived in Miami while Brian was there?
Dom POV
It's been a week since i changed my mind and decide to come back to LA and back to my family. It was apparently the right thing to do since after looking at Mia's condition. She's been a wreck since Brian left.
Everyday she would wake up, make breakfast and go to class without even saying a proper goodbye. She would talk very less during breakfast and just nod or mumble a few words. She was so distant from us. It felt like her family was the only thing keeping her together. Letty had told me that she found Mia one night crying herself to sleep and I just couldn't stand it. First the death of Jesse and then Vince talking about taking a break. It was hard for Mia to deal with and I understand, even I felt the pain in my chest.
I never thought I would say this, but I wish Brian came back. It breaks my heart to watch Mia cry. She looks so thin. She doesn't even look healthy. She has puffy eyes and eye bags and her lips are dry and her skin has lost some colour. Her hair doesn't even have much shine like before. Letty even tried to help by going to one of those girly shopping trips with Mia but nothing.
I don't know whether I should kick Brian's ass or say thanks and then kick his ass. Giving his car to me and letting me get away has changed my perspective now. He may be a cop but he just risked his life and his job for me and my family. I really don't know what should i do.
I played with my food with my fork and I looked at Mia as i chewed. She was playing with her food on the plate and she looked deep in thought. I finally decided it was enough. I cleared my throat to get everyone's attention.
"I think it's time we go for a vacation? Whatcha think?" I asked in a low voice as Letty's face lit up. She had asked me a few days before if we should take a break and travel somewhere. I had rejected the offer but now that I think about it, I feel it do good for Mia. Maybe it will get her mind of Brian and maybe she might move on.
"Where for vacation?" Vince had asked and his eyes travelled to Mia, who was deep in thought. It was time we all needed a break after all the incidents.
I racked my brain a bit. I thought about Miami. Leon and Vince will definitely enjoy there and even Mia since she loves the beach. Me and Letty might get some peace and we might even race there.
"Miami" I stated and Vince and Leon's eyes lit up. I laughed in my head. i was expecting that. Mia smiled. I smiled back, she finally responded. She gave a small nod before eating. I looked at Letty and she grinned.
"Hell Yes!" Leon and Vince exclaimed and I chuckled.
"It's decided, we leave in a week" I pointed out before excusing myself from the table and took my corona.
Mia had changed drastically. She finally had some colour on her skin and she was more responsive. She still ws the same. She still cried herself to sleep but she was happy. Excited.
It had been a week since I declared a vacation and we had decided to take our cars. Everyone was moving around the house, grabbing their belongings and making sure they had everything.
Me, Letty and Mia walked towards the mazda RX-7. We quickly got in and everyone got in their respective cars and we took off.
Hip-Hop music blared from the stereo and I pressed down on the accelerator as I drove. I hope this will help Mia get her mind off of all the incidents that have happened.
"Here we are, welcome to Miami" I said as I drove on the streets of Miami. Mia and letty were looking out the window at the surroundings and I thought about driving to the Hotel. We had enough money to spend a week in Miami so we decided to book a room in a hotel. Looking out of the rearview mirror I saw Vince and Leon's car. I sighed in relief.
I drove a bit further and parked in front of a hotel. "This is our stop" I said as i got out and popped the trunk and got the bags. Beside me Leon and Vince grabbed their bags and we walked to the entrance.
I walked to the receptionist. "You guys how many rooms you want?" I asked the team. Mia stepped forward. "I'll want my own room obviously, I mean you and Letty want privacy and i ain't sleeping with Vince and Leon, who knows who they'll bring in the night" She shuddered at the thought. I chuckled and Vince and Leon glared at her. 'Don't worry we won't bring the in the room" Vince smirked and Leon grinned. i shook my head and turned to look at the receptionist and asked for three rooms.
"Vince and Leon, you pay for your rooms and shoppings" I pointed out and they groaned. I gave them their room key and I grabbed letty's hand and walked to our room. I tossed Mia her room key.
I entered our room and looked around and placed our bags beside the bed. This felt like home. I smiled at Letty as she hugged me. I kissed her forehead.
I'm going to love Miami.
Brian POV
I was working on my Skyline when Tej walked in. "Hey man" I greeted him and gave him a man hug. "So whats up?" I asked as I worked on my Skyline.
Tej shook his head. "You comin' tonight Bullet?"
I chuckled. "Maybe, I wanna race"
"A'ight man, i just came in to ask that,get ready you know when to come" He stated before leaving. I sighed and got back to work. I miss Dom and the team. I miss Mia. A lot has happened since my arrival in Miami. I became the best racer in Miami, then I got arrested and then got a mission to catch a drug lord and then Monica. I never meant to give her the wrong impression. I don't think I'll ever move on from Mia. I love her too much. I wish I could go back but I don't think she'll ever forgive me after what I had done. Might as well accept it and move on.
I had to tell Monica before she takes a step forward. I shook my head and closed the hood of my car before cleaning my hands with a rag.
"Gotta move on" I mumbled to myself as I left the garage.
"Sup, man?" I greeted Rome and he grinned as he looked around at the crowd. I'm sure he was gonna have a lot of fun here. "This place is awesome, bro!" He exclaimed. I rolled my eyes before chuckling. He gazed at my skyline before looking at me. His eyes flashed again to my car and then back to me. I raised my eyebrow. "This your ride?" I nodded and his jaw fell
"No way man! This ride looks better than the Evo!" he exclaimed before he walked toward my ride and observed the car.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" I asked and he nodded. "Hell yeah" He mumbled as stroked the hood of my car.
I had a feeling that Rome might get too attached to this place. I mean it's his kinda place.
Tej walked towards the center and got everyone's attention. Me and Rome heard the sound of car engines and Tej turned around and he saw car lights as they got closer. They looked very similar. A Mazda RX-7 and a yellow skyline. The cars stopped in front of Tej and I froze as the car door opened. Dom, Letty and Mia stepped out and Leon stepped out from his car. I reached to my car for support and I felt a pair of eyes glance at me. I looked up and I saw Mia's frozen face.
She looked different. She looked more thinner and her hair had less shine. She looked..almost unhealthy. I could notice the puffy eyes and it looked like she lost some colour but hid it well. Dom and Letty glanced at me. I knew it this was the end. He would kill me. He had the perfect chance and this time I won't stop him. I deserved it. After all I did to Mia, I fucking deserve and might as well get ready for it. I tensed as he glanced at me but he looked away he walked towards Tej.
Mia's gaze didn't leave mine as I stared at her beautiful face. I could see tears in her eyes but she tried to stop them. I so badly wanted to reach out and take her in my arms but I clenched my fists instead.
She gave me one last glance before she looking away.
This is going to be bad.
