Letty's P.O.V.

I woke up with a start. I looked over at the clock on my night side table and realized I over slept. "Well Shit." I rushed to my closet and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t- shirt. I hurriedly put them on and quickly braided my hair and threw on my black converse sneakers. Dom is bringing Mia and me to school today and he is not patient. And he definitely won't take the excuse I'm a thirteen year old girl like Tony would. I put on a little mascara and some lip gloss so Mia won't get on me about not wearing makeup. I rushed down the stairs and see my lovely mother passed out on the couch of course. She's had a drinking problem since my dad left she blames me for him leaving so she doesn't talk to me or take care of me Tony does that. I sigh and walk into the kitchen to grab a granola bar. Tony is so awesome him, Dom, Vince, and now Leon all teach me about cars. I know almost as much as they do. Dom and Vince are eighteen now and Leon is sixteen we met him about three years ago he moved here from New York. They all treat me like a little sister which is cool, but annoying. I mean I love them, but seriously it'd be nice if a boy could come within two feet of me.

I rushed out the door to see Dom standing by his car he laughs and says, "Right on time Let." I giggled and said, "I barely made it, but I made it." He laughs loudly and says, "Well it's more the Mia can say." He says then two seconds later he yells into the house, "Mia if you're not out here in two minutes I'm leaving your ass!" I laugh and say, "I call shot gun." Dom rolls his eyes as I get in the front seat. Seconds later Mia comes running out of the house and I giggle as Dom gets into the car. Mia hurries into the car and we pull out of the drive-way. I love riding with Dom he drives fast and I love it Mia hates it, but I find it exhilarating. We used to have to get Leon, but he has his license and a car now so we don't. We never had to get Vince, he and Dom got their license and cars at the exact time. As we drove down the road Mia said, "So Letty did you tell Dom you had a date tonight." I turned and glared at her. Ugh I knew she was still mad about the whole me telling Dom she kissed a boy, but this was just cruel. Dom turned a glare at me and said, "You have a date?" I sighed, "Dom it is not a big deal." He said, "Yes it is. So you are telling him at school to pick you up from our house tonight." Mia's smirk widened and said, "She can't. He doesn't go to our school." She stops and I pray she doesn't go on, but I had no such luck as she said, "He goes to yours." Whelp I'm screwed. Dom looks at me and says, "Excuse me? No Letty he's too old!" I sigh, "Dom he's only fifteen. He's a freshman. I'm in eighth grade, it's not that big of a difference." Dom still glared and said, "Who is it?" This is the part I dreaded, "Um Lance Tran." His glare darkened and he said, "You know the trouble I have with Johnny and you choose to go out with his little cousin?" I sigh and say, "Dom it's not my fault you slept with Johnny's sister. I like Lance he's nice and he's so cute. Please don't ruin this for me." He sighs and then smirks and says, "Ok well I'll tell him at school that plans have changed." I panic and say, "No you don't have to do that I can just text him." Dom shakes his head, "No I insist." I sigh and say, "Please, please be nice. You don't need any more problems with Johnny."

He smiles and says, "Aw are you worried about me? I'm touched Let." I rolled my eyes and say, "Don't let it go to your head Toretto." He laughs and so do I. I'm so glad I defused the situation that quickly. I'll have to get Mia back for that later on. We pulled up in front of the school and Mia gave Dom a hug then hopped out of the car and took off knowing I would be after her soon. I turned and gave Dom a big hug. He held me close and said, "I love you you're like another little sister to me and I promise I won't scare off Lance." I kiss his cheek and don't let it show that that had cut me like a knife. I keep on a fake cheery smile and say, "I love you too Dom and I appreciate that. Now I better go or I'll be late." He kissed my forehead and I ran from the car. See I've had the biggest crush on Dom since I was ten. I know it'll never amount to anything I'm thirteen and he's eighteen. I sigh as I open my locker and grab my history book. I look down the hall and see my best friend Mia she sees me and runs. I laugh she knows she's in trouble. I won't be seeing her till we meet Dom after school. I laugh and close my locker and make my way to my first class.

School went by fast I got a text from Lance telling me talked to Dom and knew the change of plans. Now I'm standing outside the school waiting for Dom and Mia is nowhere to be found. She finally comes to stand beside me and I turn to her and say, "I will get you back and you won't see it coming." She gulps and I laugh. Ten minutes later Dom finally pulls up I got into shot gun and turned to Mia I said, "Want to get me ready for my date tonight?" She squeals and said, "Of course!" I giggle and Dom just sighs, "Are you sure you really want to go on a date with Lance?" I roll my eyes, "Yes Dom I'm sure. I like him and he knows a lot about cars. Almost as much as we do." he laughs at that and I giggle a little. We get to Dom and Mia's and Mia rushes me out of the car into the house and up the stairs.

We had four hours for me to get ready and I was excited. We dug in the drawer we had in her room with some of my clothes in it. I grabbed a black thong and bra and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. I turned the shower on and got in. I washed my hair, body and I shaved. I hurried out and wrapped my hair in a towel and put on my bra and thong I checked my phone and realized I took a forty minute shower. I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom. Now mind you this towel was kind of small and well I have a figure now so I really hope I don't run into Dom, Leon or Vince right now. As soon as I stepped foot out of the bathroom I heard a whistle I turn to see Leon, Dom, and Vince standing in the hallway. I blush bright red and rush into Mia's room. I hear their laughter behind me.

Once I was in Mia's room she gave me a pair of black skinny jeans and a red off the shoulder that said never slowdown in black letters. I get dressed quickly then she sits me down at her vanity and blow dries my hair that takes about forty-five minutes. After she blow dries it she straightens it that takes another forty-five minutes. She turns me around and does my makeup. It feels like forever but really it was like hour she tells me I can turn around. I look at my makeup and I love it. I have on bronzer and black eyeliner it looks simple, but it is definitely isn't. I put on my black converse. I got up and hugged Mia as I said, "I love it thank you!" she giggles and hug me back and says, "Of course. Anytime!" We walked down the stairs the boys were all sitting around watching TV they looked up at us and Leon's jaw dropped. I giggled and Dom glared. Uh oh. He said, "Hell no! Leticia you are not going out like that!" I'm so sick of this so I snap back, "Dom you are not my dad! I will wear what I want on my date with Lance tonight so back off!" He glares and goes to say something else, but there was a loud knock on the door. Vince got up and answered it.

It was Lance and he asked, "Is Letty ready?" Vince being the smartass he is said, "I don't why don't you come in I'll check." I roll my eyes as I come the rest of the way down the stairs. Lance sees me and he says, "Wow! Letty you look amazing!" I giggle and say, "You don't look to bad yourself." Dom clears his throat and says, "Have her home by eleven or I will come looking for you. Got it?" Lance doesn't look a little scared as he says, "Got it." Lance takes my hand and leads me out to Johnny's car. I guess he's our ride tonight. We get in and Johnny turn to me and says, "Hello Leticia." I smile and say, "Johnny I've told you to call me Letty." He smiles creepily art me and says, "Leticia suits you better." Johnny creeps me out he's seventeen and he checks me out like hello I'm thirteen and I'm on a date with your cousin. EW! Johnny dropped us off at the movie theater.

Lance bought us tickets to an action movie. We got popcorn, candy, and drinks then we were off to find seats. We talk through the previews mostly about cars. When the movie started Lance put his arm around me. I blush a little and I'm so glad it's dark so he can't tell. Sometime during the movie he kissed me and it turned into a make-out session. This was my first kiss and first make out wrapped into one. We spent the rest of the movie making out and when it was over we walked outside hand in hand. He turned to me and said, "Letty I like you and you're beautiful, smart and know a lot about cars. However if you want to be with me and be my girl, well you have to drop Toretto and friends I don't like them and if you're with me you don't like them either." Oh no he fucking didn't! I glared at him and said, "If those are your conditions then no I don't want to be your girl! Toretto and friends as you put it are my family!" He glares at me and says, "Then have fun walking home bitch!" Johnny pulls up, he gets in and they drive away. My first crush besides Dom, first kiss, and first make-out just left me outside the movie theater miles from home. I can't call Dom or Tony. Dom would kill Lance and I don't want the drama. And Tony is out of town for a race.

After a thirty minute walk I finally make it home. When I go inside I don't see my mom anywhere. I go to her room and her stuff is cleared out. I walk in and see a note on the side table. It read, "Dear Letty, Let's be honest I'm not meant to be a mother like you're father wasn't meant to be a father I tried a lot longer than he did, so at least give me that. I love you, but I need to live my life. Go to the Toretto's Tony will take care of you. Love mama p.s. have a wonderful life." I will never know why this was my reaction maybe I wanted someone to find me fast or I was just so shocked or hurt. I don't what it was, but I let out a blood curdling scream and broke down crying.

I sat in my mom's room crying for about two minutes when I heard the door bang open down stairs. I hear Dom yell, "Letty? Where are you?" I just keep crying I can't talk. I hear what sounds like a stampede coming up the stairs. Dom, Vince, and Leon bust into the door. Dom runs straight to me and pulls me into a hug and holds me tight and Leon makes his way over to the note and picks it up. He reads it and hands it to Vince. Vince shakes his head and says, "Yo. Dom you're going to want to read this." Dom passes me to Vince and takes the note he reads it then starts shaking. He punches the wall and pulls out his phone. He types in a number and I hear him say, "Dad it's important. Letty's mom bailed. I mean she literally left Letty a not that she wasn't meant to be a mom and left her to us." I don't know what else was said because next Dom said, "Vince take Letty to pack up her stuff. Leon go tell Mia to set up room for Letty in her room." They both nodded Vince took me to my room and Leon went down stairs.

I packed up as much as my clothes as I could into my suitcases and took down my car posters. I had a suitcase just for my shoes and I got my laptop, its charger, my cell phone charger, and journal. Dom came in a few minutes later with Leon they all grabbed my bags and I took my journal we walked to Dom's house. Once we got there we walked straight to Mia's room I laid on Mia's bed and just cried. She laid with me and held me close and the boys set my stuff down and quietly left us alone.

Dom's P.O.V.

As we walked out of the room Leon turned to me and said, "How could someone do that to someone as amazing as Letty?" I sigh and say, "I don't know, but there's three things I know for sure Letty's going to need us more than ever now, her mom is crazy, and Lance is a dead man because no car dropped Letty off tonight so she walked home from the movie theater." Both guys got dark looks and I know mine was probably darker. Letty is family you don't mess with our family. I can't do a thing about her mom, but Lance he had hell to pay.

Letty's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning with the worst headache, crying for hours will do that to you I guess. I walked down stairs to see everyone sitting around. Dom looks at me and says, "Hey, there's my girl." Despite everything I giggled. Dom gave me a big hug and I hugged him tight. Tony came in the door at that moment and he said, "Hey Letty I just got back to talking to child protective service and they agreed that it would be in your best interest to stay here. So now you're not only a part of the family, but you live with us too." I know I should be upset by this, but honestly I was so happy I am way better off here then with my mom anyway. I run to Tony and hug him as I yell, "Thank you! Thank you!" He smiled and said, "No problem sweetheart. Dom take her to get the rest of her stuff." Dom nodded and arm in arm we walked back to my old house. Once we got to my room I started packing up my other stuff.

Dom randomly asked, "So what happened on your date last night?" I sighed. I knew he'd ask eventually. I decide to tell him the truth I could care less if he kick Lance's ass now. So I said, "He stole my first kiss and first make out then he told me if I wanted to be with him I had to stop talking to and I quote, ' Toretto and friends.' Because he didn't like you and if I was with him I shouldn't either. I told him if those were his conditions then I didn't want to be his girl. He got pissed and said well have fun walking home bitch then him and Johnny left me outside the movie theater I was too upset to call you and deal with the I told you so's so I just walked home." He pulled me into a hug and he said, "Never be scared to call me I'll always come get you. No matter what."

I hugged him back and all I could think about is how messed up everything is. My parents both left me, Lance my first crush besides Dom broke my heart, and I'm in love with a guy six years older than me who I now live with. Ugh my life is so messed up! But maybe thing will get better in time. I guess only time will tell. Dom and I move my stuff over to Dom's house into Mia's room. I spent the day with Dom, Leon, Vince, and Mia. It made things a lot better. I love my family.
