Even the Mighty Fall
Mia- Evee loves Dom; Dom loves Evee. Dom wants to marry Evee; Evee wants to marry Dom. So why are they not together anymore, and what's going to happen? I wish I knew.
Evee lay in her hotel room, silently crying into her pillow. She didn't want to leave, she really didn't. But she didn't have any choice, she can't spend the rest of her life with someone that doesn't trust her not to sleep around, she thought about blaming Erik, he was one that hugged her, and that sparked all this pain. But it wasn't his fault; he hugged her because she had been engaged to Dom, but no more. A new wave of sobs wracked her body at this thought and she couldn't keep her tears' silent. The drive to the hotel had been a blur, she couldn't remember it all she could remember was getting into her car, and arriving at the hotel. She got her key checking in and as if on autopilot got to her room.
She got up and went into the bathroom starting the shower, she tried to stop crying she really did but ended up in the corner of the shower, curled up in a ball, out of the shower spray, sobbing into her knees. She rubbed the spot where his engagement ring had been and even though she doesn't like to where rings, she missed its weight.
Dom sat in the chair for a long while looking at the ring that Evee had given back to him, because he couldn't trust her. He watched as the emerald sparked in the lamplight it had been beautiful when it had been on her finger, now it was just a ring. An image of her pained face as she looked at him one last time before walking out the door crossed his mind eye and he set the ring down, downing the rest of his drink. He stood and went up to his room; he could almost see Evee lying on the bed, the sheet across her chest while she put on the ring.
******
"It's a perfect fit. Too bad I don't wear rings, but it's beautiful though."
"Well for a wedding band we can have just a plain and simple gold band, nothing fancy." he said and pulled on a shirt...
******
Dom smiled at the memory then his smile faded as another memory, a recent one, took over.
******
"Answer me Dom, do you trust me?" Evee asked but he stayed silent, taking another sip of his drink. A slow realization came over her features and tears clouded her eyes. "Fine, then I guess this wasn't meant for me either." She said taking off the ring, she walked over and banged it down on the small table...
******
He should've answered her, damnit why didn't he answer her! He did trust her, but not enough if he thought that something had been going on with her and Erik, her old boyfriend. He collapsed onto his bed and inhaled her scent that was lingering on his pillows and sheets.
When Mia got home that night with Vince she expected to see Dom sitting on the couch with Evee in his arms watching a movie. She looked outside and saw that Evee's truck was gone, a single lamp was on in the living room and she saw something twinkling on the table by a chair. She went over and picked up a ring, she remembered seeing it on Evee's finger when she showed her telling her that Dom had proposed. But what was it doing here? And where was Evee? Then she noticed something else. The framed flag that had been on the mantle was gone.
"Shit." She said putting two and two together and ran upstairs ignoring Vince's questions. She opened Dom's door to ask him what was going on but saw him sound asleep on his bed, hugging his pillow tightly. The phone rang and she picked it up quickly. "Hello?"
"Hi Mia it's Evee."
"Evee where are you?"
"A hotel in town, you just get home?"
"Yeah a couple of minutes ago. Why is your ring here? Why are you in a hotel? What's going on?"
"Mia, Dom and I broke up." she said her voice cracking.
"Why?"
"He doesn't trust me Evee, he thought that I had slept with Erik."
"Erik, the guy that was over here once, that Erik?"
"Yes, he's an old boyfriend."
"Where are you Evee, I'm coming over there." Mia asked and she told her, they said their good byes and Mia rushed out the door, again ignoring Vince's questions.
She parked in front of the hotel and got out going into it. She went to Evee's room and knocked on the door. It opened and she looked at a distraught and tear-stained Evee, Mia put her arms around her Evee cried against her. She stepped into the apartment kicking the door closed. They sat on the bed and Mia looked at her.
"Tell me what happened sweetie." She said and Evee told her the whole story.
"Why doesn't he trust me Mia, have I given him any reasons not to?" she said at the end of it.
"No you haven't, I mean that whole you being a Fed thing, I mean you never told him that you weren't. But this, he's being an asshole." she said and Evee laughed weakly.
"I didn't want to leave him, but I had to. I can't breathe, I feel like I can't breathe." She said sobbing and put her head in Mia's lap, she stroked her hair and held her.
A couple of hours later, Evee dropped off to a fitful sleep and Mia made sure she was nice and tucked in before leaving. She drove back to the house and sat in her car for a little while before getting out and going back up the house. Vince was waiting there for her and she told him what had happened, suddenly very tired she brushed her teeth, got changed into pajamas and went to bed, feeling Vince's comforting, protective arm around her waist.
Dom woke up the next morning half-expecting to see Evee lying in front of him, her arms around him but didn't. He laid in bed for a long while until he really had to get up, he got dressed and went downstairs and saw a morose looking Vince and Mia sitting at the kitchen table.
"I talked to her last night, went to go see her." Mia said and he looked at her.
"Okay, how is she?"
"How the fuck do you think she is? She's a wreck, she cried the entire time I was there and something tells me she cried for a long time before that. Why Dom?"
"I was dick head."
"You sure were. Go to her, apologize."
"She won't forgive me."
"She's loves you of course she'll forgive you. You need to trust her Dom."
"I don't know if I can the way I used to." He said and she stood facing him.
"That is whole load of bullshit Dom and you know it, you love her damnit!"
"I know I do! I can't stop thinking about her!"
"Then just go over there and apologize."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"I don't know I just can't."
"Fine then I'm going over there and apologizing for you!"
"No this is something I have to do!"
"Then grow some balls and do it!" Mia yelled and pushed her way past Dom, they heard her leave and her car screech away from the house.
"You messed up big time Dom." Vince said and Dom looked at him pointing a finger at him.
"Don't you start." He said and Vince put his hands up leaving it alone. Dom left the house and went to the garage to work on the cars. Even that didn't get his mind off of her. He went back to the house, Vince was gone and Mia was still gone. He lounged around the house and did basically nothing. That night when he went to bed he was restless, energy bounding through him, unable to get to sleep. He got dressed and went downstairs; Mia was lying on the couch. "Mia, where's Evee staying?" he asked and she smiled slightly at him, she told him and he nodded once. "Thank you Mia, you have no idea how much that meant to me." He left and got into his car, pulling away from the house.
When Dom got to the hotel he went up to Evee's room and with the borrowed key opened the door. On the way over he had prepared him self to do some serious groveling but the words left when he saw her asleep on the bed. Her black hair was splayed out behind her and she made a small pained noise in her sleep, tears started to roll down her cheeks and he gently closed the door. Removing his shirt, pants, and boots and only in his boxers he climbed into the bed and put a strong arm around her waist. She moved against and he kissed her forehead gently.
Evee woke up in the morning to someone touching her face and hair; her eyes focused and saw Dom lying in front of her. She's had this dream every night so far so she just did what she always did, she snuggled into his chest and he held her tightly. He smelled really good. Wait a minute...the dream has never had smells before...that meant...
"Dom?" she asked looking at him. "What are you doing here?"
"Holding you apparently." He said and she held back a giggle, she missed that sense of humor.
"Why are you here?"
"I missed you Evee, I missed holding you. I love you Evelyn."
I love you too Dominic, so I'm guessing you want me back."
"More than anything."
"Do you trust me? Completely trust me?" Evee asked and he paused for a long moment, his racing back to when he saw her and Erik hugging, her laughing, him kissing her hair, the thoughts that had been running through his head at that moment. She sighed and moved out of his arms getting off the bed. "You still don't, not even now. Please leave Dom."
"Evee please..."
"Leave." She had turned her back on him and her voice gone cold, but he noticed that she was rubbing the finger his ring had been on. He had no choice; he got dressed and left. Eve fell back onto her bed as a fresh wave of tears overtook her. She was so SICK of crying, of wanting him. She dried her eyes and took out her cell phone dialing the office number.
"Hi good morning, this is Agent Evelyn Nashville, I need to speak with Agent McMahon please." She said when someone picked up. "Yeah I'll hold...McMahon! Hey what's up? Nothing much, it's beautiful here, but I'm missing home, so I'm just calling to tell you that I'm coming back." She said as a pit formed in her stomach. "The thing with Toretto didn't work out, yeah I'm fine. Am I going commercial? Okay I'll be there, bye." She hung up and called the house next.
"Hello?"
"Hey Mia."
"Evee! Dom just got home he looked terrible what happened?"
"He tried to apologize but the only thing that would get me back is his trust and I don't have that. So...yeah. Listen can you and Vince come over, I need to speak to you two."
"You don't want Dom to come?"
"Nope."
"Okay, we'll be there soon. See you then."
"Yeah see you then." She said and hung up, she took a very quick shower and just as she got her shirt on there was a knock on her door. Evee opened it and let Mia and Vince in. Mia sat in a chair and Vince sat next to her, Evee sat on the foot of the bed facing them. "Thanks for coming you guys."
"No problem Evee." Vince said and she smiled weakly at him.
"Um...I wanted you guys here so I could say goodbye, saying it over the phone didn't feel right."
"Goodbye? What do you mean?" Mia asked.
"Um...I'm leaving in two days, I'm going back to DC, for good. Actually I'm going to DC then to Alabama, there's been a string of hate crimes and they want me there." She said looking down at her lap.
"Why are leaving?"
"There's nothing for me here. In two days the private jet will touch down where Race Wars was, I'll get on it and leave."
"Of course there's something here for you. Vince and I are here."
"Oh come on Mia, I can't even look at you two without thinking about...him."
"Oh I am so kicking his ass when I get home." Mia said and Vince touched her hand, smiling slightly. "Please don't leave Evee."
"I've made up mind Mia, I'm leaving and that's that." she said standing.
"What about the Trans?" Vince asked.
"What about them? All the people connected to the hitter have been arrested, there is sufficient evidence to put them away for a long time." Evee said.
"And that's it, you're just going to leave." Mia said standing also.
"Yeah seems like, thank you again for coming. There are things I need to do today. I should probably get on them." She said opening the door, Mia and Vince said nothing but left.
When they got home Dom was sitting on the couch watching T.V.
"You bastard, she's leaving because of you." Mia said and he looked at her.
"Who is?"
"Who the hell do you think? Evee, dumbass." Mia said and his eyes went wide.
"She's leaving? When?"
"In two days, she's going back to DC, then to Alabama. We'll probably never see her again, get your ass over there and grovel your ass off!" Mia said and he leapt off the couch running out the door, his car screeched away from the curb.
He reached the hotel in record time; he turned off the car and ran to the room. He banged on the door with his fist. It opened and Evee looked at him for a second before slamming it in his face.
"Evee let me in!" he yelled.
"Go away Dom." She said and he leaned with his forehead against the door. There was a gunshot and the sound of something hitting the floor making him look up.
"Evee! Evee open the door!" no answer, he stepped back and kicked the door open seeing Evee on the floor with a bullet wound in her shoulder. He ran to her as she rolled onto her back, he crouched down and held his hands to the wound to try to stop the bleeding, but blood flowed through his fingers. He grabbed her cell phone and dialed 911.
"911 emergency response." A voice said.
"I need an ambulance, my girlfriend was just shot!" he said panicky.
"Calm down sir, where was she shot?"
"The shoulder, there's so much blood." He said and she started to shake violently. "She's going into shock!"
"What is the address?" they asked and he gave them the hotel name along with the room number. "Okay sir, stay on the line an ambulance is on its way."
"Okay." Dom said and Evee closed her eyes. "Sweetheart stay with me! Come on Evee, open your eyes!" he yelled and her eyes snapped open again.
"Dom..." she rasped and he bent closer. "I love you." she whispered and her eyes closed again, this time he couldn't get her to open them again.
"Evee! Evee...!"
Mia- Evee loves Dom; Dom loves Evee. Dom wants to marry Evee; Evee wants to marry Dom. So why are they not together anymore, and what's going to happen? I wish I knew.
