A/N: so I got this idea while reading ch.7 of dramababe16's story Angst and of course listening to the song. Its such a great story!

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm lookin' right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy

Comin' back here to you once I figured it out

You were right here all along

Mirrors- Justin Timberlake

Dom's POV

Letty Ortiz had been my best friend since birth. We grew up together and she was always the one person I could count on. We've literally been through everything together. Birthdays, holidays, funerals. We were each others first in everything. And I mean everything! First kiss, first best friend, first lover. Yeah lovers. Nobody knows we lost our virginities to each other. Don't get me wrong. Letty is beautiful and sexy as hell but we were only best friends. I wasn't into being in any sort of exclusive relationship. It was a mutual decision really. We didn't want to do it with just anybody we both thought the other was attractive, but in the end we decided there was no way a relationship between us would ever work. See the problem is, for us, it's like looking in a mirror.

"Ok Dom, so what have we learned from this?" Letty asked me breaking me from my thoughts. Letty had just returned from her phone call with her dad and her signature smirk was plastered on her face.

"What'd your dad say? When is he coming home?"

"Nope." She shook her head vigorously. "You're not gonna change the subject when you brought it up in the first place."

Damn. She always calls me on my bullshit.

"Don't give me that look. You know I'm gonna call you on your bullshit just like you would do if I were in your shoes right now."

At that, I smile. She knows me too well sometimes. "Well if I remember correctly two months ago you were in my shoes."

"Yeah, but the difference is I won't make the same mistake twice."

I looked down at my hands. "I thought I loved her."

"No. You did love her. I know because I know you. You never did all that romantic shit for the skanks."

"So what did I do wrong this time?"

Sighing Letty ran her hands through her hair. I know she hates talking about this shit because I do too. Being open about our feelings was never us. Well, never with anyone but each other, but talking about the relationships we have with other people was different. We both hated hearing about the others current lover, significant other, or whatever you want to call it. "D, you didn't do anything wrong, man. That fake bitch messed up when she decided to screw you over."

I couldn't say anything. Here she was trying to make me feel better after weeks of trying to tell me Stacey wasn't good for me. I hadn't listened to her though and accused her of being jealous that she wasn't in a good relationship. Needless to say, the fight escalated and it almost ruined our friendship. Despite everything, now I was sitting at her kitchen table being comforted by my best friend.

"She isn't worth it anyway. You need a woman in your life that's gonna challenge you. She isn't just gonna listen to and go along with everything you say. She's gonna be strong and independent. She's gonna be 20% angel, 80% devil. She'll love you with her mind, body and soul, be loyal as hell, but she's gonna be real with you too and tell you when you're acting like an overbearing asshole. Which you are most of the time." I playfully glared at her at that statement and she just laughs and winks at me. "I'm serious, papa. Find a girl that's gonna love you for you."

"Let, are you going soft on me? What's with all the sappy shit?" I just have to challenge her. This is what we do.

"Fuck you Toretto! I'm done trying to make you feel better. It's obvious you're back to your normal cocky self again." Wiyh that she left the room and I hear the tv turn on in the next room.

"Aww come on babe. I'm only joking. Sounds to me like there's only one woman in the world that could put up with all my bullshit."

"Oh yeah?! Who's that?"

"Well, it's obvious really. This woman could do it because she herself can be pretty arrogant at times, so she understands when you're that good you can't help but brag about things. She's also pretty intimidating with the raser chasers cuz if I'm gonna be a one man woman she's gotta keep them at bay. You gotta twin or something I don't know about?"

Letty looked at me like I had two heads. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well, obviously no woman is better for me than you." I gave her my signature cocky smile

Letty just kept staring at me like she was debating on what to say next. Then like I predicted she rolled her eyes and looked back to the tv. "I know you want me Toretto, but you couldn't handle all of this." She said as she motioned toward her whole body.

I let out a throaty laugh. "Oh I have before. Which is why I know I could do it again." Of course I was referring back to our night together when we were 15 and I knew she knew what I was talking about.

"If I remember correctly, I ate you for breakfast." I recognized the double meaning behind her words.

"I remember. I also remember I ate you for a midnigt snack first."

Letty laughed as she snuggled up to me. We continued to watch the tv as we absentmindedly linked our hands together like we always do.

Two hours had gone by and I could tell Letty was almost knocked out. "I'm sorry about Stacey, but I'm glad I have my best friend back." I squeezed her hand as if to say 'me too.' A few mintues had passed and I thought she had fallen asleep until I heard her whisper "His trip was extended to 16 months."

Inwardly, I groaned to myself. Her dad's mission was only supposed to be for 10 months. It had already been 8 and now instead of waiting for 2 more she was gonna have to wait another 8 before he came home. This sucked. She would never admit it to her dad, but it broke her heart every time he had to leave. She would never do it though because she knew he loved it. He held such strong beliefs in protecting our country for our family. She is always so selfless.

She looked up at me and we shared a conversation with our eyes. I'm here for you. We will get through the next 8 months together. I love you. She looked down willing herself not to cry and I pulled her in closer, protecting her. With that she finally fell asleep.

I don't know how much time passed. With Letty it never seemed to exist. I just watched her for awhile as she slept. God, she was beautiful. And I couldn't help but stare, cuz I saw the truth somewhere in her eyes. I can't ever change without her. She reflects me, I love that about her.

I looked at our hands. Man she has so much soul in her I know there's no place we couldn't go. I'll pull her through this. She's just gotta be strong.

My gaze shifted back to her face. Thinking back to her earlier words, I was glad to have my best friend back too. I don't wanna lose her. Now I'm lookin' right at the other half of me. The vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that she holds now. Who am I kidding? She always held it. It was the same space she filled when my mother passed on from her illness. It was the same space she filled when my father crashed and burned, literally. It was the same space she filled when I was sent to Lompoc for assaulting Linder. Everytime that space got bigger, she was willing to fill it even more. Without even realizing it, she's showing me how to fight for now. And now I realize she was right here all along. I should be fighting for her.

She's my mirror and she's been staring back at me. How could I have been so stupid? We never tried a realtionship because we thought we were too much alike. In the end though, that's exactly why we're so good for each other. We never have to pretend around each other. She loves me for me like I love her for her.

She's the love of my life.
