AN: You guys let me know what you think! This isnt your typical girl likes cars girl falls for one of the team mates. Olivia actually hates cars. And she also doesn't fall for Johnny Tran either. This chapter had a lot of crying. She wont be doing that a lot in the story but she just lost her father and is about to lose her brother.

A week had passed since the death of Antonio Toretto. It still felt like two days to Olivia. Every day she still expected him to walk through the door. She had took some time off from working since three days after the wreck had claimed his life, she decided to go to work where she had a meltdown. She couldn't stay away forever though. She knew it would be time to go back sooner or later, so she chose sooner. She walked into the small store and cut on the lights. It was about thirty minutes until she had to open which gave her enough time to check some dates on the food, the drinks, and get the money into the register. She sighed as she completed those things with just five minutes to spare. Death was a funny thing. It took people…things from you but never really allowed you time to process it. Life still went on. Time still clicked forward. It was like she wanted the whole world just to stop so she could take a deep breath. But it would do it. Not for her anyways. She had to keep going about her same life as if nothing ever happened. She breathed in the air just as she lifted the door to open up. Business had been booming at the garage since her father died. Everyone wanted to come in and get their car checked out but mostly just talk to Dom and Mia. But no one came by the store. Just the regular customers who came by on their lunch break every day. She liked it that way. She didn't want to have to talk to anyone. Listen to how sorry they are. She didn't want to hear it at all. He was gone. That was it. Just like that…he broke his neck. She took a deep breath again as she turned around to walk back to the counter. "Hi." He didn't scare her this time. She slowly turned around to him with a soft smile on her face.

"Johnny."

"I wanted to call and I thought maybe you would be here…I am so sorry."

She nodded her head. "Thank you." She whispered. "It's been rough. My brother thought it would be best if I didn't work for a little bit. Wait for everything to die down a little." He nodded his head as he took a seat on the stool next to her. "Why are you here, Johnny?"

"I just work across the street."

"No…" She sighed. "Why is it that you always come over here?" He cocked his head to the side. "You just moved here what six months ago? I have literally probably seen you here over half that time."

"Is that a problem?"

"No, I just…" She heard the engine before her pulled into the first parking space in front of the store. She sighed when she heard another door close as well and in walked a slim, tall, Asian girl.

"Lillian, what are you doing here?" Johnny turned around to the girl.

"父は、家でバックアップする望んでいます。ここにいるビジネスがあるないと述べた." (Father wants you back at the house. He says you have no business being here.) "He has been calling your cell phone for an hour now."

"Olivia." Dom walked in and stopped in his tracks. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." She replied. She moved behind the counter and watched Johnny.

"Listen, I am sorry if I made you feel so type of way. I won't come back." He gave her a soft smile before turning around to leave.

"John…" Olivia moved to stop him. She wanted to hit herself for being so rude.

"Who are you?" Dom asked stopping the two.

"I'm Lillian." She held her hand out with a smile on her face. Olivia rolled her eyes as she leaned down to grab the cloth to wipe down the counters. "We just moved here a few months ago. And you are?"

"Dominic Toretto. I owned this place."

"Nice to meet you, Dominic Toretto." She winked at him before leaving the store with Johnny right behind her.

Olivia shook her head as she continued to watch her brother until he finally turned around to her. "Really?" She snapped.

"How do you know him?"

"I go to school with Lillian. Johnny works across the street."

"That's his sister?"

"Aren't you dating a girl named Letty?" Olivia stopped what she was doing. Dom shook his head.

"We are on a break. She decided she didn't want to be with me anymore."

"That sounds like you two. You know Dom, I really don't understand you two. Why are you together at all? You lived together and you work together. We are supposed to be a family. You don't date your family, Dom."

Dom didn't reply. "Hello!" She yelled throwing the cloth at him.

"It's complicated." He moved away from her and grabbed a drink from the machine. "I am going to be in the office doing some paperwork. I'll probably be here all night."

"Can I go home?" She smiled.

"No." He walked into the office shutting the door behind him. She shook her head as she grabbed the stool and sat down. Her mind wondered to Johnny. He had been coming by the store every night for the past four months. What was with him? She never talked to Lillian at school. She didn't seem to want anything to do with Olivia, so why is her brother coming around all the time? She shook her head. She had hurt his feelings. She could tell. She took a deep breath in as she climbed on the stool and opened the magazine.


Olivia walked behind the two men as she looked along the rows of tools that covered the walls. Why she came with them, she didn't know? Dom and Vince had decided that morning to go to the hardware store to get a tools for the shop. Olivia had found herself not being able to sleep ever since her father's death so she tagged along. She now regretted it. She sighed as she ran her hand along the hammers when she heard the noise that caught her attention. It was almost as if it were in slow motion, they both immediately made eye contact. Kenny Lendor, the man who killed her father, was standing right in front of her. She stopped breathing. She could have swore her heart had stopped beating in that moment. She could hear the echoes of laughter and talking but she couldn't take her eyes off of him. It was like they were the only ones in the room. She had thought about a lot of times what would happen if they ever came face to face, would she hit him? Would she scream at him? But in the moment, she did nothing. She froze. She caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye, Dom had knocked everything off of a table and was running over to them. She didn't have time to react. Dom tackled Kenny to the ground. She gasped. Oh, there was the air. She could hear the screaming as Dom picked up the wrench that had fallen on the ground and began beating Kenny with it. Her hands slowly made their way to her mouth as lost her balance and hit her knees on the concrete floor. "DOM!" She finally was able to scream but that was it. She didn't make another noise. Vince had been trying to get Dom off of him but it was no use. It was when the sound of gunshots went off that everything stopped. NO one moved. No one made a sound. Olivia used her hands to help herself up off the floor as she slowly walked closer to her brother. "Stay back!" Vince shouted at her but she didn't listen. She kept moving. That's when she saw him. Dom's hand was covered in blood as Olivia continued to stare at the man on the ground. He wasn't moving. Her eyes were as wide as a deer in headlights when she felt someone's arms grab her and jerk her around. She could see his mouth moving but she couldn't comprehend anything at all. Dom killed him. She just knew it. Dom had killed that man. Vince was shouting at her as he became to violently shake her arms. It was no use. Everything just seemed like a haze. She couldn't pick out the colors anymore. It all became black and white. The sounds sounded like waves crashing onto the shore. She knew he was talking but she couldn't make out the words. "Olivia! Olivia!"


She hadn't moved from the spot on the couch where Vince had set her down. The cops had come and gone taking her brother with them. He had brutally beaten a man in public with a weapon. She could still hear Vince explaining everything to her in the car as if she was ten years old. She knew her brother was going to jail. He almost killed a man. This was no slap on the wrist. She took a deep breath in when she heard the door open and shut causing her to look up. Jesse had walked in with a box when he stopped and looked at her. "I haven't seen you all day." She replied softly. "Where have you been?"

"The shop." She nodded her head. "Vince wanted me to grab some things just in case the cops showed up looking around."

"Where is everyone else at?" She looked down at her hands. Jesse shook his head as if he was afraid to tell her. "I know that you think you guys are protecting me by not talking to me about it but I am eighteen years old. I know what my brother did. I know that he isn't going to get away with it. I also know that I might never see him again. So if you would please just tell me where the rest of my family is, it would be great?"

"Mia is down at the police station. Vince refuses to come in, he is outside on the swing. Letty and Leon are at the garage trying to figure out if we can stay open without Dom and Tony."

"Thank you." She whispered before turning to face the television screen again. "I was there, Jesse. I saw him first and I couldn't move. I was frozen in my spot. We stared at each other for what seemed like hours to me. I saw Dom...he just freaked out. He doesn't show emotion too well. I didn't even know he was that upset."

"Dom has a good way of showing little emotion. You guys just lost your dad."

She sighed before leaning back. "That pain that was on his face. I don't even think he knows what he did." She looked up at him again. "Is Lendor okay?"

Jesse shook his head as he finally set the box on the ground before walking over to her. "I don't think so. They admitted him into the ICU." Jesse grabbed her hands. "Liv, this is all going to blow over. Everything is going to be okay."

"No..." She shook her head. "It's not going to be okay." She leaned over, as he brought her into his arms, and sighed. It was far from over.


Graduation came and went as Gabriella still stood in the trance of losing her father and her brother. It still didn't seem real. She found herself walking more and more around town, not really caring about her car knowing it would get her places faster. She found herself walking along the familiar street from the store when she saw the garage light on. She walked up the driveway and stopped in her tracks when she saw it. Her heart stopped beating as she dropped her hands to her side letting her cell phone fall to the ground. "Olivia!" Vince yelled running towards.

"NO!" She screamed. "NO!" She fought him from grabbing her arms as she took off running towards the car. It was here. The car that killed her father was sitting right in front of her. "Why? Why is it here?" She began picking up whatever was closest to her and throwing it at the car. She let out a piercing scream as she grabbed the crowbar from the table and began hitting the car with it. The sobs escaped her mouth as she bent over trying to catch her breath. "I don't want it here." She sobbed as she felt his hand on her back. "It took him from us." She felt her knees give out as the crowbar hit the ground hard with a clank. There wasn't much damage she could do to the car but she did notice something. It was burnt. The entire car looked burnt. Her head slowly turned to Vince who was just standing there staring at it. "He lied to me." She whispered as the tears fell down her face. "He lied." She closed her eyes and turned her face away.

"He did." He replied softly. "Because the truth was too painful to share with you."

"Why did you bring it home? Why is it here?"

"Because I can't bare to have it destroyed." He bent down on his knees and rubbed his hand down the back of her head. "He hit the wall and the car caught on fire immediately, before anyone could get to him, it blew up. That's how it happened, Liv. That's how he died."

"I don't know how to live without him, V. I feel like life is just passing by as I sit here and watch it." She licked her lips as the tears hit them. She wiped her face with the back of her hand as she continued to stare at the car. How could anyone put this car back together? How was it even possible? "He was my life and I don't think he even knew it."

"We are going to get through this, Liv. We will. It will just take some time."


Olivia walked down the stairs of the house when she heard the voices stop talking. She sighed as she grabbed her bag from the coat rack. "You know every time I walk into the room, it doesn't have to go silent? I am so tired of being treated like I am this fragile kid. I'm not. I know what is going on and I can take it."

"Are you going somewhere?" Mia asked.

"Yeah, I just was going to go down to the beach for a little bit. Have you heard anything?"

Mia nodded her head. "Dom's court date is next week."

"And Lendor? Is he okay?"

"He's still in ICU. He is going in for surgery today." Vince chimed in. "I will let you know if anything changes with that. I told the hospital to give me a call when something happens. He's going to be alright, Liv. He's going to live."

Olivia nodded her head. "It's weird you know. I just graduated high school but I feel like my life has just completely stopped." She sighed. "I just don't get it, I guess. How was he so angry? I have never seen that side of him before. His eyes were black as night. It was like someone had taken over his body and he just kept hitting him and hitting him..." Vince walked over to her and bringing her into his arms. "I just wish that for once in my life, we can have a norma family." Vince began to laugh.

"We are far from normal." He replied. Mia got up from the couch and walked over to them. "How about we all go to the beach? Is that normal enough for you?"

"I can do that." She replied with a soft smile.
