AN: Thanks for all the reviews and I am hoping everyone is enjoying Jesse being back. Good news that Fast 7 is starting back up production in April, so that's exciting. I cannot wait for that movie to come out but I know it's going to be heartbreaking. Hope you are liking the story so far.
All mistakes are mine.
Two weeks had passed since Jesse and Leo arrived at the Toretto garage. More and more customers were lining up to come get their car looked at. The plan was actually working. The business was great, the money was even better. They wouldn't have to close and that's what made Amelia happy. She was becoming more and more use to them being there, letting it settle in that Jesse was actually alive. She bent down looking into the car she was working on when she felt someone staring at her. She looked up to see Jesse standing there with a wrench in his hand.
"What?" she asked with a smile. There were still those feelings there. The way he would look at her when she would work on cars, the way his lips would curl up into a smile. It got her every time, even seven years later.
"Is this your second car?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"I have never seen a girl work so hard on cars before."
Amelia eyed him. "Well thanks, I think. And Letty has been working on cars longer than me, so…"
"I'm not insulting you at all."
Amelia couldn't help but laugh. "Jess, come here, I need you for a second." Leo appeared in the doorway. Amelia nodded her head at him as he looked to her. He put the wrench down before turning and walked away. She smiled to herself as she watched him leave.
"Still weird huh?" Brian appeared beside her. She jumped dropping her wrench on the ground. Her face immediately turned red.
"Yeah." She refused to look at him.
"Yeah, it's good to have him back though. "
"Yeah."
"Yeah." Amelia looked up at him; he had a smile plastered to his face. "Just be careful please, we don't know what kind of person he is anymore."
Amelia nodded her head. "He still makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world." Amelia replied softly. Brian ran his hands over the back of her head before bringing her into his arms.
'You are one of the strongest people I know Amelia, you have been through so much yet here you still stand."
"I think it's the awesome suppose system I have…and an overbearing brother who doesn't know when to shut the hell up."
"Yes that too." Brian laughed. Amelia looked up at him as he looked down at the ground.
"What is it?" Amelia asked.
"Mils…Dom and I…" Brian sighed. Amelia took a deep breath before putting her hand on his shoulder. "We are racing again."
Amelia began to laugh as she looked up at him, "Are you serious? That is what you are flipping out about?"
"Yes…" He eyed her.
"Do you really think that any of us could give up that life completely? I knew from the start once we moved back here and got settled in, that would be the first thing yall would do. So when is it?"
"Tomorrow night."
"And who all is going?"
"Everyone."
"And why are you the one who is telling me this?"
"Because everyone else was scared."
Amelia nodded her head. "Right…well, I guess I will see you tomorrow night then. Regular time?"
Brian nodded his head. "Awesome." She threw the wrench down and walked away. She walked past the office that Dom was sitting in, he looked up at her and smiled. He knew what she was thinking, he didn't dare come anywhere near her.
She had a bottle of water in her hand and a towel under her head as she laid on the driveway, it was a hot day in Los Angeles and Amelia didn't want to do anything but lay there. She closed her eyes until she felt a dark shade appear in front of her. She opened her eyes and looked up.
"You are blocking my sun." She told him monotone.
"What are you doing out here?" He asked.
"Oh I don't know Dom, knitting a sweater. What does it look like?"
"Brian told me that he talked to you about tonight."
"I'm sure you already knew Dom and its okay. I'm not mad or going to flip out or throw things at you."
"How are things with Jesse going?"
Amelia didn't reply. "Brian told me that you two have been talking a lot."
"What does it matter?"
"It doesn't, you are my sister, I just want you to know that I am here for you."
"As is everyone else." She rolled her eyes.
"I talked to Roman and Tej today. They will be here tomorrow and told me to tell you that they expect you to be excited to see them."
A smile appeared on her face. "So there that smile is."
"What time are they coming?"
"They will be here in the morning, so don't expect to sleep in." Amelia nodded her head.
"Yo Dom, can I talk to you for a minute?" Leo appeared beside them. He smiled down at Amelia who waved at him before lying back down and closing her eyes.
"Can you at least do some work today?"
"I'm off…" She replied. She heard him groan but he chose to walk away.
"You always talk to him that way?" Jesse replied causing her to jump. She quickly sat up as he sat down beside her.
"He's my brother, he should expect it."
He began to laugh. "Can I ask you something?" Amelia asked causing him to turn towards her. He nodded his head. "I've noticed you limping, what happened?"
Jesse looked ahead but didn't respond. "Oh….I am so sorry. I didn't mean…"
"No." He stopped her. "Its fine, I just…I don't remember a lot of it."
"What do you remember?"
"I was shot…a lot of times. There was screaming, but I can't make out who is it. There were all kinds of sounds, but it's too distant. Someone was holding me, and then I blacked out. I woke up in the hospital a month later, Leo was there. He took me in, I've been with him ever since."
Tears streamed down Amelia's face. "Hey…" He whispered putting his hand on her shoulder. "Why are you crying?"
She shook her head. "I need to go, I told Dom I would help with him something."
"Amelia…" Jesse called after her but she didn't stop. She went running towards the garage.
"Amelia!" Leon saw her first. She shook her head at him as she began banging on Dom's office door. Leo was the one who opened it.
"Amelia, are you okay?" He asked.
"I need to speak to Dom please." She tried to control the crying but it wouldn't stop. He nodded his head letting her come inside before closing the door behind him.
"Amelia…" Dom didn't know what to say or do.
"Jesse knows Dom, he knows what happened to him…" She stuttered through most of that but he knew what she was saying. He slowly walked over to her wrapping his arms around her putting his head on top of hers. "He remembers the shooting, he remembers people screaming, and someone was holding him…Dom he remembers."
"He remembers because that is what Leo told him to remember Mils…"
She stopped moving. She was quiet as he rubbed her back. "Do you think he will ever remember me?" She whispered. Dom closed his eyes, but he never responded. He just stood there with her. He couldn't lie to her, he just couldn't. Letty wasn't remembering either. She hadn't remembered anything since that time her and Amelia were in the garage. It had been seven years since Jesse was shot, if hadn't remember anything why would he remember now?
"Go grab the hose." Jesse told Amelia. It was summer time, and the one she loved was washing her car.
"Any day now!" Jesse yelled startling Amelia.
"I'm coming geez!" she yelled back. She moved the hose over and lifted it in the air. She smiled to herself as she grabbed the handle and released the water, spraying Jesse.
"What the…" Jesse yelled covering his face. She laughed before dropping the hose and running away. She could hear footsteps running after her.
"I didn't mean to." She replied stopping. She was laughing so hard.
"Yeah right." Jesse was smiling. "You want to wash your car or not?"
"I do." She smiled. He bent down and grabbed the hose and pointed it at her. "Don't you dare." Jesse kept smiling at her. Just as she went to speak and sharp pain came across the back of her legs. She let out of a scream before turning around.
Amelia smiled to herself as she looked around remembering that day exactly.
Jesse smiled at her before dropping the hose and running over to her. He grabbed her and began tickling her on the car. Leon picked up the hose and began spraying the car. He didn't want any part of this scenario that was playing out in front of him. He shook his head as he bent down and began washing the tires. Amelia couldn't help but smile as Jesse leaned her against the car. He wiped the hair from her face with his hand before smiling down at her. He looked over at Leon, who was shaking his head and bent down. This was his chance, he leaned down to Amelia and kissed her softly on the lips. A smile formed on her face as he kept kissing her. She knew they couldn't do it for much longer before Dom would come out raising hell. She slowly pushed him away and smiled at him. He nodded his head before helping her off the car.
"Amelia!" Han was beside her. She was quickly brought back to reality. She knew her face was blood red as she stared up at him.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough." He smiled at her. "What were you smiling at?"
"I was remembering Jesse…"
"Remembering Jesse?" Jesse had walked up behind them. Amelia stopped, her hands dropped at her side. "What do you mean?"
"Jess…" Amelia moved forward towards him.
"Do you know something Amelia?"
"Amelia…" Han whispered. It was almost in a warning tone.
"Yes…" Amelia gasped. "Yes I do."
