Weeks had past and Coryn and Mia were almost like sisters. Mia would notice bruises on Coryn's arms or legs but never asked her about them as they were in the healing stages. This weekend Mia was packing to go home for the weekend she couldn't wait to get on the race scene again and let loose this weekend.
(Knock, knock)
Mia swung open the door and was automatically wrapped in Brian's arms. Dom closed the door as he entered and cleared his throat so Mia and Brian would separate the kiss they were sharing and she hugged her brother. Coryn picked that moment to come in from her last class of the day.
"Hey beautiful." Dom said causing a blush to rise to her cheeks.
"Hey." She stuck her stuff on her desk and sat on her bed hugging her pillow. Dom sat down at the foot of her bed. Mia finished packing and saw her brother watching Coryn as her and Brian were talking.
"Why dont you come with me?..." Mia asked. "It'll be fun. You can come to your first street race, party it up... itll be fun."
"I don't wanna impose. Besides my dad is stopping in quick before he heads out of town for a few weeks."
"Well we can wait."
Coryn looked around not thinking they were real but the smile they all had on their faces said they were. She looked into Dom's eyes and saw he really wanted this.
" ok, I guess."
Mia clapped in excitement and grabbed Coryn's bag helping her pack some things for the weekend.
Coryn decided to leave and text her father on the way explaining that something came up. The text back was proof he was livid. She didn't care though. She was excited. Sitting in the back with Mia the ride took less time then she expected. She followed Mia in and a chorus of hellos were heard as a large group formed in the livingroom.
"Who's the fresh meat?"
Coryn turned to see a girl standing on the staircase in leather pants a cheetah tank and chains around her waist. The girl screamed bad ass. It was a little intimidating. Dom put his arm around her shoulders.
"Letty this is Cory, Mias room mate, and new member of the bunch."
They stared at each other before she backed off. " guess we should make room for the princess." She walked out back leaving everyone else to glare at her back.
"Maybe I should call Jase to come get me..."
"Like hell." Dom took her bag and loud enough for everyone to hear said. "You can have my room for the weekend. I'll take the sofa."
Dom had never done that before for anyone. Coryn followed him up and when she took off her jacket Dom saw the Tattoo on her shoulder peeking out from her tank as she looked around, and before she pulled her top down he could see the ink of another around the side of her stomach.
Dom smirked. "I knew you had a little bad girl in ya."
"Being good isn't fun."
It was the first real sentence from he ever heard.
Dom left her to get changed while he grabbed a shower.
She was downstairs with Mia and Brian after being introduced to everyone. They all got along with her just fine except for Letty who would even speak to her. Dom came out behind her.
"I cant believe you would bring this vanilla girl into our home."
"Better get use to it Letty. If I have my way she'll be here for a while."
Letty knew they weren't together anymore ,but she didn't want this girl to have him.
"Lets go team."
At his call everyone got in their cars. Coryn was following Mia and Brian when she felt a hand on her arm. She looked up into Dom's eyes.
"Ride with me."
Coryn nodded and he led her to his car opening the passenger door for her.
The ride there was comfortable enough.
"You know you riding with me says something."
Coryn watched him. "Like what?"
Dom looked her straight in the eye "That you're with me and others should back off."
"Am I?"
Dom smiled then took her hand "Hell yea you are."
Coryn was ok with that and didn't pull her hand back from him. They made it to the street race pulling up with the rest of the team flanking them. Dom smiled kissing her hand before getting out and walking to her side to help her out.
"Well if this between us is gonna work Im letting everyone know whos arm your on."
"Really? How?"
Dom took her face in his hands and kissed her long and deep, his tongue begging for access which she gave. Whistles and whoops were heard all around as the broke apart. With her face still in his hand he smirked at her.
"Like that."
He closed her door and left her with Rome and Tej while he handled business. Letty stood beside her with a beer.
"You know you're just a conquest for him right." Letty turned to see Coryn looking at her confused. Letty laughed a bit. "A girl like you could never keep his interest. You're just a placeholder. Once he beds you then the thrill will be over, and so will you."
Rome got between them as Coryn's face fell. "Letty quit being a bitch!"
Letty laughed and walked into the crowd.
Coryn felt sick to her stomach. When no one was paying attention to her she walked to a corner away from the chaos and called her brother.
"Yo, baby sis."
"Hey, can you come get me? Please."
"You ok?"
"I came home with Mia for the weekend but I think it was a mistake. Can you come get me please?"
"Yea. Im at mom and dads though."
"Thats fine. I guess Ill just come there for the weekend... I'll be at the cross street of 4th and broad street."
"Ok Ill be there in about 30 mins."
Coryn closed her phone and began the walk away from the crowd.
Dom lost track of part of his crew. He figured Coryn was checking everything out. He won his first race and Brian was racing now. Rome and Tej came up to him, and he could tell something was wrong. Brian won and Dom finally gave his attention to the 2 as the rest of his crew rounded up, but Coryn was no where.
"Where's Cory?" Dom asking standing to full height.
Tej cleared his throat. "She left man. Letty had some words with her and she just left."
Mia picked her cell out of her pocket and dialed Coryn.
Coryn was in Jase's car wiping stray tears when Mia called.
"Hello."
"Cory are you ok?"
"Im fine. I just don't like being made out to be a game."
"Whatever Letty said isn't true."
"That I'm just a conquest to Dom and he will drop me as soon as he gets what he wants."
"Dom likes you he wasn't going to use you. Can we come see you tomorrow and you both can talk, please?"
"Yea, I guess."
"Okay text me the address and we will see you tomorrow."
"Ok. Bye Mia."
Coryn sent the text as they pulled into her parents driveway. She knew this was gonna be bad since her father was already pissed. She thought she wouldn't have to worry about him though until he got back from his business trip. Unfortunately he wasn't leaving now until the morning, and their mom was going too.
They got inside and there stood her father, scotch in hand.
"Jase, leave us."
Jase knew this would be bad but if he stayed it would be worse.
Coryn watched her father put his glass down after finishing his drink and then he walked towards her.
Even though she was prepared for it when he backhanded her across the face it still knocked her to the ground.
He picked her up by the back of her hair, and blow after blow with her cries were heard through the house.
After it was all over she could still hear him telling her she will never be good enough, shes an embarrassment, and a nothing.
Dom, Brian , Mia, Rome, and Tej walked up to the front door of a huge white house. Dom was still pissed at Letty and was hoping to fix this.
Rome knocked on the door and they waited.
Jase answered the door and left them in.
"Just so you all know when I have to pick my sister up on a deserted street corner because one of your people hurt her, theres no apologising for that, and then for her to only have a worse night here, its not ok."
Dom came forward "What happened last night shouldn't have, it was dealt with. I don't want anyone to hurt her. Especially not me."
Coryn came downstairs hearing what Dom said. Her whole body hurt, and she couldn't hide the bruise on her face just the ones on her body.
"Little late there."
She wrapped her arms around herself and nodded her head to the patio out back for everyone to follow.
When they got outside she turned to face them and Mia gasped then went to hug her but Coryn backed up.
"Please don't."
"What the hell happened?!"
Brian asked going over and looking at the bruise covering the left side of her face.
Coryn looked at Dom as the words came out of her mouth. "I made a mistake."
Dom walked over to her and against her wishes wrapped her in his arms.
"Owww, please." Coryn pushed Dom away and he took her open sweater off her shoulder on one side revealing a dark purple bruise and several more down her arm. He pulled it back up and as lightly as he could hugged her as she cried.
"What Letty said to you last night none of it was true. I want to be with you."
Coryn pulled back and looked up at him. "Im not good enough."
Dom took her face in his hands "you're wrong. Im the one who's not good enough. You're perfect." He leaned down and kissed her then looked at her brother.
"I'm taking her with me."
Jase looked at Coryn and after seeing her nod he told them bye. Dom tossed his keys to Brian so he could sit in back with Coryn. Rome and Tej had his car.
"So man who do you think hurt her?" Tej asked following Dom's car down the road.
"Whoever it was is gonna have payback Torretto style."
