Letty's P.O.V.
I've been living with Tony, Dom, Mia, and now Vince for a year now. Dom turned nineteen a couple days after the incident with my mom and Lance. That did not stop him from kicking Lance and Johnny's asses for leaving me in front of the theater that night. It was pretty fantastic. Mia and I have started high school and Vince and Dom graduated it surprisingly. Leon is a senior, Mia and I are freshman. Tony is away a lot more for racing, but now he tries to take us with him when he goes. It's pretty awesome! I love the speed! Dom Vince, Leon and I work at the garage constantly. While Mia works at the store. I also convinced Dom to teach me had to drive he was very hesitate at first, but with a lot of begging and bribing I convinced him. I'm getting pretty good actually even Vince and Leon say so. Johnny Tran gradated early and Lance dropped out. Supposedly he got a private tutor or something who cares the guy is a douche anyway I can't believe I ever kissed him. After that incident I haven't had much interest in dating. Can you blame me? I also have grown up a little more my body is a little more filled out nothing to spectacular, but still. Dom turns twenty in a couple weeks. And Mia and I are now fourteen. Dom and I have become close not like brother and sister, but something else I don't want to say romantically, but it does feel that way sometimes and I still have a major crush on him. This past year Dom and the boys have started going to street races they don't know I know, but I do and Mia and I want to go. Tony s going to be out of town this weekend and their going. So we're going to black mail them into letting us go tonight.
Mia and I came down stairs to see the boys talking we knew they were scheming about getting to the races tonight so I said, "Alright guys we're not stupid we know you've been going to the street races." Dom looked up at me and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." I rolled my eyes and Mia said, "Yes you do. So please don't waste our time with whatever lies you came up with. We know you go to the street races every time dad is away." Vince said, "So we go to the races. What of it?" I smirk and say, "We want to go too." There was a chorus of Hell No's! From the three guys and Mia just laughed and I said, "It wasn't a question." Dom glared and said, "You're not going tonight period!" Mia glared back and said, "Yes we are or daddy is going to hear what you three have been up too." Dom glared harder, "You wouldn't." Letty smirked, "We would. Look you can take us with you and Tony never find out or we can go on our own and rat you out to Tony." They still glared at us. Finally Dom sighed, "Fine you can go, but you have to stay with us all night! No exceptions!" We nodded eagerly and he said, "We leave at nine. So you have two hours. Go get ready." We both squealed and ran upstairs.
Mia and I straightened our hair. Then we did our makeup I just put on black eyeliner, mascara, bronzer, and red lipstick. She did the same except with pink lipstick. She put on a black mini-skirt and a form fitting pink tank top with black hearts on it. She added black heels to make the outfit. I put on dark, tight denim shorts and a form fitting purple tank top that said in your dreams in white letters. I completed my outfit with purple wedges. I had to admit we looked hot and we had five minutes to spare. I looked at Mia and said, "Damn mama you look sexy." She giggled and said, "No Letty girl you look hot as fuck." We both giggle and make our way down stairs as we hear Dom yell, "Hurry your asses up." As soon as the boys see us their jaws hit the ground. Dom is the first to recover as he say, "Hell No! Go change now! Both of you!" I roll my eyes and say, "Dom if we go change we'll be late let's just go." He glares at me and sighs, "Fine Letty you're riding with me. Mia you're riding with Vince." We just shrugged and went to the vehicles we were told to get into. Dom and I got into his car and he turned to me and said, "Do not leave my side for anything. Do you understand? This is a rough crowd and I don't want you hurt." I smile at him and say, "Ok Dom I promise not to leave your side." He nods and starts his car. It roars to life.
When we pulled up to the races it was amazing there. Cars everywhere. Sluts everywhere too EW. I got out of the car and not even two seconds later Dom was by my side his arm around my waist. I looked over to Mia and see Vince doing the same thing to her. So that's why we rode with them they wanted people to think we were together or something to keep boys away from us. Mia and I connect eyes and we roll our eyes in sync we both know why there doing this. A Mexican guy came up to Dom and said, "You racing tonight bro?" Dom nods and says, "You know I am man here's the money." He lets go of my waist to get the money out of his car. He takes a moment to look me and says, "Hey mama I ain't seen you around here before." I said, "No you haven't." He smirks, offers me his hand and says, "I'm Hector." I take his hand and say, "I'm Letty." Dom picks that moment to shove the money into Hectors hands and say, "She's with me Hector walk away." I giggled and Hector put up his hands in a defensive way and backed away laughing. I turned to Dom as he puts his arm around my waist again, "Jealous papi?" He rolled his eyes and said, "Shut it Let." I giggled and he led me where Leon, Vince and Mia were. Dom is getting irritated by all the guys checking us out and I want to see if its brother love or jealousy he's been sending me mixed signals for a long time now and I want to see how far I can push him. I know he loves it when I call him papi because I see an involuntary shiver go down his spine when I say it.
He won't let us out of his sight, but Mia had a plan around that. The boys led us over to another group of boys. Dom and the boys were talking to some and Mia and I were just standing behind them two guys came up to us and started flirting. We flirted back of course me to piss off Dom and Mia to have fun. I got a little more into it then Mia by putting my hand on the guys arm. He smirk and put his hand on my hip and tried to pull me closer to him. Tried being the key word I was jerked away from him and pushed behind someone else. The someone else was Dom and he said to the guy, "What the hell do you think you're doing touching what's mine?" The guy I had been flirting with looked terrified and said, "Dom man I had no idea she was yours my bad bro." Dom says, "Well she is so move the fuck on mother fucker!" He took off and so did the guy Mia was flirting with which Dom didn't even notice so he was jealous not brotherly love. Mia walked over and talked with Vince and Leon and the guys they were talking to.
I decided to play with Dom so I said, "What the hell was that Dom! I was talking!" He took my hand and dragged me towards his car. Once we got to it he pushed me against it and pinned me too it. He says, "Letty you're killing me! You are only fourteen! I'm nineteen! It just isn't right!" I look him in the eye and say, "Then why do you care if I flirt with racers or not?" He glares and says, "That buster wasn't a real racer more like a wannabe." I roll my eyes, "Doesn't matter Dom. You don't want well they do so stop getting in the way." I try to push past him, but he slams back against the car I say, "Dom..." But my words were cut off by his lips. The kiss gets intense and turns into a make out session. We stand there for at least ten minutes just like that. He finally pulls away and says, "Letty we can't do this not yet. I'll make you a deal if you still want me when your sixteen then we'll give this a try I promise. You're still too young." I sigh and say, "Fine, but I know I'll still want you Dom I've been crushing on you since I was ten." He put a hand on my cheek and says, "I'm counting on it." We smile at each other and he puts his arm back around me and walks me back to the others. Dom was up to race. I stand by Leon and Mia by Vince while we watch Dom race.
It was so close at first, but in the end Dom won in a land slide. We were all around his car the second he got out. He took the money from Hector and says, "My sister counts the money." He then turns to me and picks me up. He spins me around and says, "And your my trophy." I giggle. He sets me down and puts his arm around my waist and leads me to his car. We headed back to the house. When we got there Dom suggested we all watch a movie. We all agreed and the boys went to get beers and popcorn. Mia and I picked the movie. We picked Lion King. The boys groaned when they came and sat down. We rolled our eyes and Mia said, "We can watch Cinderella if you prefer." They shut up after that. I was sitting on the chair and Dom squeezed in next to me and put his arm around me. Mia, Vince and Leon sat on the couch together. We watched a couple movies then headed to bed. We all had to be up for Tony's race tomorrow. It's going to be awesome!
The next morning Mia and I got up and put on shorts and our team Toretto shirts. Mine was red with black letters and Mia's was pink with white letters. I wore my black flip flops and she wore white ones. We threw our hair in to ponytails and put on mascara and lip gloss. We walked down stairs to see Tony and the boys down there. Tony has become like a father to Vince, Leon and I. And we are his kids. Dom gives me an intense look. He's checking me out, I giggle. Tony grabs Dom takes him outside. I wonder what that was about. I just shrug and walk to sit with Leon and Vince with Mia following.
Dom's P.O.V.
I saw Letty come down the stairs in that simple outfit and I lost my breath. She looks better now than she did last night. I know I shouldn't be having these thoughts I'm almost twenty and she's fourteen almost fifteen, but still it's wrong. I know it is which is why I told her to wait until she's sixteen. It's not much better, but it's something. Dad suddenly drags me outside. I look at him in question and he says, "You like Letty." There was no question in the way he said it. I said, "Of course I do dad. She's family." He shakes his head and says, "No you like Letty for real son. It's ok I'm not surprised. I thought it'd take you longer to figure it out, but I'm not surprised. However I would appreciate it if you waited till she was sixteen or so to start a real relationship with her." I was shocked he knew, but then again he knew everything. I nodded after my shock wore off and said, "That's what I told her dad." He smiles at me and says, "I'm proud of you son. You're a good man, you work hard and really help to take care of this family. When Letty is old enough you to will be perfect together." I smile and dad hugs me, I of course hug him back and I say, "I love you dad." He smiles and says, "I love you too, son." We call everyone out and we load up and head to the race track. I can't wait till I can race like dad on a real track.
Letty's P.O.V.
We all gave Tony a hug and told him we love him, Mia and I also kissed his cheek before taking our seats to watch him race. The race started and he was doing so well then another car came wouldn't back off him. It was getting crazy than Tony's car flipped and rolled. It was on fire. Mia and I broke down crying and Dom took off towards the track. I told Vince and Leon, "Stay with Mia don't let her see anything else. Got it?" they nodded with tears of their own. I took off after Dom and was running to the car, but the fire was getting to the gas tank and I knew it was going to explode so I tackled Dom to the ground. The car blew and Dom screamed at the top of his lungs. We were both sitting on the ground. I help him to my chest while he cried, we watched them take Tony's body out of the car. I'm so glad Mia isn't watching this. Dom just cries harder and holds on to me tighter.
I finally get Dom up and say, "Come on Dom we have to get to the hospital." He nods and I lead him to the cars. Vince and Leon rode in his car Dom and I rode in his and Mia rode here with Tony. I told Leon to drive Tony's car home and Vince to follow him. They didn't want to because Dom was in no shape to drive I rolled my eyes and said, "Dom's not driving them I am. Dom's been teaching and you guys know I can handle it." Vince says, "Fine we'll let you drive them there just be careful ok." I nodded I went to Mia and took her in my arms and said, "I got you sweetheart. We'll get through this." She nods into my chest and I walk her to the car and get her in the backseat. I go over to Dom and he looks at me and says, "Did you hear him scream?" I looked at him puzzled and said, "Dom, he didn't scream." He shook his head and said, "I heard a loud painful scream." I put my hands on either side of his face and said, "Dom that was your scream." He looked shocked he said, "I don't remember screaming." He started crying again and I got him to the car. He didn't question why he was in the passenger seat or why I was driving he just stared out the window. Mia was hysterical in the back seat. And I was just trying to get them to the hospital as fast as possibly could.
We got to the hospital and I led the Toretto siblings into the hospital I left them standing in a waiting room while I went to the information desk and said, "Hi we're Tony Toretto's kids. Where is our dad at?" The lady typed something in the computer and said, "Wait over there please as soon as the doctors can he'll come tell you what's wrong with your father." I nodded and usher Dom and Mia to sit. I see Vince come rushing in with Leon behind. I hear Vince say, "We're Tony Toretto's sons where is he." The lady said, "You can go sit over there with your family the doctor will be with you guys soon." Vince rushed over to us and said, "Letty have they said anything." I shook my head no. He sighed. I had Mia with her head on my shoulder and Dom holding my hand. Vince was pacing and Leon was sitting there calmly. Finally after an hour of this with my hand in pain from Dom's squeezing and my shoulder asleep from Mia's head. The doctor came in he said, "Tony Toretto's family please." We rushed to him as fast as possible. I said, "We're his kids." The man nodded and said, "I'm sorry kids your father didn't make it. We did everything we could." Mia collapsed Leon picked her up and held her. Vince punched a wall and started crying. And Dom he just stared off into space. He grabbed my hand and dragged me outside the hospital he took me to a spot where no one could see us and he broke down. He collapsed on to me and I took us to the ground he cried and cried saying it wasn't fair and that they'd already lost one parent. We stayed like that till it got dark and I was sure the others went home.
Finally I got him up and led him to his car. I again put him in the passenger seat and then I got in the driver's seat. I took him home. Everyone was already there. Mia was on the couch asleep probably passed out from all the crying. Dom again took my hand and led me upstairs. We walked into his room. He sat on his bed and continued to cry I pushed him down to lay down and I laid beside him. I just laid there holding him while he cried. We stayed that way till we fell asleep.
When I woke up Dom was still asleep he had me in and iron grip. I couldn't get out of it and I tried trust me. Finally he started to stir. I said, "Dom. You have to get up." He looked at me and pulled me to him and he kissed me hard. I kissed back because I knew he needed this. He need comfort to feel loved and I'd give him thought, because I loved him. We stayed there for a while then I pulled back saying, "Come on Dom we need to go downstairs." He nodded. I told him to change first and he nodded. I went to Mia and my room and changed. When I walked out of her room Dom was standing there waiting on me. I took his hand and we walked downstairs I left Dom and Mia with Vince and Leon and began making the plans for the funeral and calling the family and the school.
I planned the funeral for the next day. Dom and Mia really didn't have any other family so I called mostly family friends. Cps called and I told them Vince and I would be right there. They didn't like that I was so young getting involved in this, but they agreed none the less. I walked into the living room and said, "V we got to go to the Cps office. To figure out the guardian thing." He nodded and left to get his keys and stuff. Dom stood up and said, "I'm going too." I sighed, "No Dom. Stay here with Mia." He went to protest more, but I shook my head. I knew they wouldn't let Dom be our guardian alone and I knew if they saw him right now they wouldn't let him at all. I looked at Vince and said, "Until Dom is stable we're going to make you our guardian. Okay?" He looked at me and said, "Are you sure? Dom is going to be pissed." I looked at him and said, "V we don't have a choice. In the state Dom's in they'll never let him be our guardian. It's you or foster care for Mia and me." He sighed and said, "Your right. I know it. I just know how Dom can get." I sigh, "I do too, but right now we have to be realistic. I planned the funeral and got everything done for tomorrow. I called all friends and family. I did it all. So I'm being the grown up today so just do what I'm asking. Okay?" He looked shocked and said, "Letty I didn't know you were doing all that." I sigh and say, "I did. And when we get home I have to cook for the family and for tomorrow for after the funeral." He looks at me and says, "Letty you're amazing." I smile and say, "Thank you V. now let's hurry Dom is going to lose his mind if I don't get back soon." he nods and we pull up to the Cps office.
We go in and we talk to this lady and tell her the whole situation and explain how Vince is nineteen almost twenty and a big brother to Mia and me. We explained Dom needed a little time before he could be a guardian. And I explained how my parents left me to the Toretto's and how the note my mother left me should be on file. She nodded and got the note and read it and cried. She said I'd been through enough and so had Mia with us both losing both our parents and that she didn't want to break up the family we have found so she agreed to allow Vince to be our guardian. The lady made Vince sigh some papers that made him our guardian. On the way home I looked at Vince and told him, "I'll tell Dom what happened today and why. He'll take it better from me." He nodded.
When we got home I went to Dom took his hand and led him to the garage where if he yelled Mia wouldn't hear it. I said, "Dom stay calm when I tell you this. Okay?" he nodded I said, "Alright. Well I made Vince mine and Mia's guardian." He looks at me with a glare and said, "Why the fuck would you do that?" I sigh, "Dom you're not stable enough to be made a guardian right now. Had I brought you there in this state Mia and I would be in foster care. Do you want that?" He softened his glare and said, "You're right Let I'm so sorry. I just want to take care of you and Mia." I smile at him and say, "You will, but right now you need some help. Vince's name is just on a piece of paper we need you too." He sighs and says, "I have to plan the funeral now." I shook my head and said, "No you don't. I already did that." He looked shocked and said, "You did that?" I nodded and said, "It's tomorrow at two o'clock. Everyone has been called. I'm about to cook us dinner and cook food for after the funeral. All you need to do is be there for Mia and go to the shop tomorrow with me to call customers and explain the situation." He pulls me into a tight hug and says, "I know I couldn't have gotten through this without you. None of us would have." I hold him tight and for a while we just sat there.
Finally I pulled away and said, "I need to get cooking and you need to check on Mia." He nodded and we went back to the house. I cooked dinner and we all ate quickly I had to force fed Dom and Leon forced fed Mia. I then started cooking for after the funeral. I finished and found Dom sitting in the living room alone everyone else was in bed. He looked up when I came into the living room and got up. He offered me his hand and pulled me up to his room we laid down and he held me tight and cried himself to sleep again. I held him the whole night we fell asleep just like we had done the previous night.
The next day I woke up at 11 I made Dom get up and told him to put on his suit. He nodded and I went and woke up Vince and Leon and told them the same thing. I then went to mine and Mia's room and woke her up. Her and I both got up and put on our black dresses and black heels. We didn't bother with makeup. By the time we were all ready it was time to go we got to the church and went to sit in the front. The funeral went by faster than I thought when we got home I warmed up the food and set it out for everyone. We all greeted everyone and talked to everyone, but after about an hour Dom came to me and said, "I need to get out of here now. Can we go to the shop." I nodded and said, "Go grab some clothes to change into when we get there. You're not ruining that suit." He nodded and ran upstairs I found Leon and told him where we were going he nodded and said, "Ok I'll take care of Mia and the guests." I nodded my thanks and Dom came down the stairs and grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door.
When we got to the shop Dom went to change and I was sitting on the couch we had waiting for him. I heard someone walk in and I said, "Sorry man we're closed." When I walked to who it was my jaw hit the ground. How fucking dare this mother fucker show his face here! I looked at Linder the asshole who hit Tony's car and killed him. I had to get him out before Dom sees him so I said, "Look Linder, you need to leave now." He just says, "Well I wanted to know when you guys were selling this place. I'd really love to buy it." I glared at him and said, "We aren't selling so move your ass along." He laughs and I hear the door open. I see Dom come out he sees Linder and he snaps he picks up a wrench and runs at him. I jump out of the way and he just starts hitting Linder in the face I scream. I try to pull Dom off him, but he just won't budge I keep begging him to stop. I know he couldn't hear me he was in his own world, but I tried. Finally it was like his arm couldn't be lifted anymore and he stopped. He seemed to come back to reality and looked at me. He got off Linder, but stayed on his knees. He buried his face in my stomach and cried. I held him close. I totally didn't even think to call the cops, but thank god someone else did. A cop car and an ambulance showed up the ambulance took Linder and the cops took Dom. They told I needed to come down town and make a statement I asked if I could ride with Dom they were hesitate, but let me any way. I called Vince on the way and told him what happened. He said he'd meet us there. Dom was spaced out the whole ride and it scared me.
When we got to the police station they separated us. I told Dom not to say anything and we'd get him a lawyer. The police asked what happened and I told them how Linder was taunting us about Tony. And how Dom just snapped under the stress and pressure. They nodded and she was released. She found Vince in the lobby he said, "I called the Lawyer he's in there with Dom." We sat there for twenty minutes. Then the lawyer came out and he said, "I talked to Dominic. He agreed to take the plea that's been offered." I asked, "What's the plea." The lawyer said, "Three years. Two with good behavior." For the first time in three days I collapsed to the ground crying. Vince picked me and held me while I cried. He asked, "Can we see him?" The lawyer said, "Yes, but you only have two hours before he's taken to Lompoc." Vince nodded and said, "You go in there baby girl. I'll call Leon to bring Mia here." I nodded and I walked into the room as soon as Dom saw me. He said, "I'm so sorry Letty. I don't know what came over me." I shook my head and said, "Dom he was taunting us. He pushed you over the line. This is his fault." He looks at me and says, "You're amazing and I don't deserve you, but when I get out I want to be with you. If you still want me. I want you to take care of the family while I'm gone, because I know no one can like you. And I don't want you guys to visit, that place is dangerous and I don't want you guys there. I'll call when I can and we'll write." I start to cry and despite it all manage a smile as I say, "I'll always want you Dom. And I'll do everything I can to take care of our family. I love you not just as family, but so much more." He nods and pulls me close and says, "I love you too." I kiss him. As soon as I pull away Mia, Vince and Leon come in. we say our Good-byes and watch painfully as they take Dom away to Lompoc for at least two years.
We all head home. Mia locks herself in our room. Vince and Leon start drinking. I walk up to Dom's room. I strip out of my dress and shoes and then I pull on one of Dom's shirts, it smells just like him. I curl up in his bed and just cry and cry. I cry myself to sleep that night wondering how we're going to make it without Dom and Tony. I know it's going to be hard, but I also know that I'll figure it out for Dom and whatever I have to do, whatever we have to do we won't tell Dom about till he's out. God I hope he'll forgive us, because I know what I need to do and I know he won't like it. I hope he'll forgive me. I love you Dom.
