AN: Here's Chapter 4, guys! Enjoy!
When they reached the Toretto house, Suki paid the cab driver and alighted the cab.
"Please take care, Miss!" The cab driver called out to her with a wink.
"I will, sir. Thank you!" She replied as she shut the door.
She took a long look at the Toretto house. Then, she look around and saw Han and Gisele sitting on a silver Nissan 370Z. The couple had been watching her since she had alighted from the cab. Suki decided to approach them.
"Excuse me, is Mia Toretto around?" She asked them nervously. Han and Gisele smiled at here. They admired how cute and innocent she looked when she asked them
"You must be Suki." Gisele said to her and Suki nodded her head.
"You're the one who gave Dominic's sister a lift, am I right?" Han asked her and Suki nodded her head again.
"She's inside the house. We'll take you in." Gisele smiled at her and took her hand. Han followed the two girls into the house. "Mia, you have a visitor!"
"I'm coming!" Mia called out. After a few seconds, she came down the stairs carrying Mike. "Suki!"
"Good afternoon, Mia." Suki greeted her politely. Mia, after putting down Mike by the sofa, ran towards Suki and gave her a tight hug. Suddenly, Suki let out a soft moan of pain which was caused by Jimmy's beating.
"Oh my god, what happened to you?" Mia asked her, full of concern. She pulled off Suki's sunglasses. She did not have any large bruises on her face but the left side of her face was slightly red. Mia also noticed how she would shut her eyes tightly every time something contacted that particular area of her face. "Jimmy hurt you, did he?"
"It's obvious, isn't it?" Suki whispered into her ear before breaking down into sobs. Mia gently stroked her hair, allowing her new friend to cry on her. Just then, Dom and Letty came down the stairs.
"Ooh, who's the pretty lady?" Letty smirked as she approached them. "You're Suki right?"
"So you're the one who brought my sister home!" Dom said to Suki, smiling. She nodded her head. "Thank you so much. We're grateful for what you did."
"Anything wrong, Suki?" Letty asked her as she narrowed her eyes. "Wait, remove your jacket."
Suki was surprised but did what she was told to. She slowly removed her jacket, making her wince in pain. Once her jacket was fully removed, several bruises were revealed. They were only a few but they were quite large. Most of them were on her arms.
"Take her up to my room, NOW!" Mia ordered and she rushed to the kitchen to grab a first aid kit. The rest of them except Han and Dom, who decided to watch over Mike, escorted Suki to Mia's room. Once they entered Mia's room, they laid Suki on the bed, resting her head on a fluffy pillow. After a few seconds, Mia barged into the room carrying a first aid kit. The three girls applied ointments onto her bruises. Suki winced at the pain but she tried her best to endure. Once they were done, Mia went down to the kitchen to get Suki something to eat. Letty and Gisele stayed with her to keep her company.
"Who the heck who do something like this to you?" Letty frowned, looking at Suki's bruises.
"My so called "boyfriend", Jimmy." Suki replied weakly. "He got mad because I came home late from sending Mia home. He was really hungry, that's why he's furious with me. He said that I don't think about him. I tried to explain to him but he wouldn't let me."
"Well, don't worry Suki. You're safe here with us." Gisele said softly to her, holding her hand. Suddenly, she heard a familiar sound. Letty got up from Suki's side and peeked out of the window.
"The boys are here with two new cars. A silver '13 Subaru Impreza WRX STI tS Type RA and a Lexus IS F." Letty reported to Gisele.
"You're in for surprise, Suki." Gisele smiled at Suki and she smiled back.
"That was great, man!" Brian exclaimed happily as he alighted from his Skyline GT-R. He went up to Vince and gave him a bro-fist.
"Two new cars, baby! AHAHAHAHAHA! Better not crash that Subaru, Tej!" Rome cheered wildly as he alighted from his new Lexus that Brian had won for him.
"Don't worry, I won't. Good thing that Lexus fits that big-ass forehead of yours, Pearce!" Tej joked as he alighted from the Subaru that Vince won for him. Rome gave him a sarcastic laugh before pointing his middle-finger at him. The four men entered the house. Vince greeted Mia and Dom before slamming himself onto the sofa. He watched Mike play with his Aston Martin, trying to imitate an episode of Top Gear UK where The Stig slams Tim Schrick who was driving a Porsche 911.
"Hey!" Mia called out to Brian and ran towards him, carrying a bag of garlic bread. "She's here, Brian."
"A-Are you serious?" Brian stuttered with a surprised look on his face. The look of surprised was soon replaced by happiness. "Parker, Peace, go with us upstairs. You three are in for a surprise."
With that said, Mia grabbed Brian's hand and dragged him upstairs with Tej and Rome trailing them. When they entered the room, Brian didn't know how to react. The moment he saw Suki, he was on cloud nine. No words could explain how happy he was seeing the girl he had missed and loved for so long. When Tej and Rome entered the room, their jaws simply dropped.
"Bullitt? Tej? Rome?" Suki asked in surprise as she sat up. A bright smile crept onto her face upon seeing her old best friends.
"AAAAAAAAAHH! AAAAAAAAAHH! AAAAAAAAHH!" Rome screamed and jumped up and down like a lunatic which literally startled everyone. "YOU'RE ALIVE!"
"C'mon, man. Your big-ass forehead's gonna break the floor!" Tej mocked him before turning to Suki. "How are you, baby girl?"
"Not so good. It's a long story." Suki said sadly. She then turned to Brian. "Is everything alright, Bullitt?"
"Um, y-yeah." Brian replied. "I've missed you so much, Suki."
"So do I." She smiled at him. Brian was about to say something but Mia interrupted.
"Guys, our patient needs to rest." Mia spoke up as she handed Suki the bag of garlic bread. "Brian, you can stay here with Suki."
"Take care, Suki." Gisele whispered to her, pushing a strand of her hair away from her face. Suki smiled at her.
"Get well soon, baby girl." Letty followed. She shook Suki's hand before exiting the room.
"Ooh, Tarzan's gonna have fun with Jane! Have you two…." Rome tried to joke. It wasn't funny but he managed to make her smile. "…. But not too much fun! AHAHAHA!"
"Alright, Megamind. Let's get out before this floor collapses for real." Tej mocked him so that he would shut up. He then turned to Suki. "Get well soon, baby. I'm glad to see that you're alive after all these years.
"Man, you gotta stop mocking my beautiful forehead!" Rome growled at Tej as they exited the room. Once they were out, Suki and Brian focused their attention on one another.
"Did you really miss me so much, Brian?" Suki asked, raising an eyebrow.
"W-Well, yeah." Brian stuttered. "It's impossible for me not to miss a great female street-racer like you. So, you and Jimmy got together, huh?
"Yeah but…." Suki said silently. Though she did not finish her sentence, Brian was boiling with rage.
"He hurt you, didn't he?" Brian asked her, his voice emotionless. Suki nodded her head and Brian immediately clenched his fist. "You're not going home tonight. You're staying here with us."
"Will the rest be okay with this?" Suki asked, slightly worried. Brian leaned towards her and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry, baby girl." Brian smiled. "They welcomed you in, didn't they? They also took care of you."
"I like your "family". They're really nice." She whispered to him.
"You're part of it, now." Brian whispered back. He gave her a warm smile and held her hand. Just then, Mia opened the door.
"Dinner will be ready in about five minutes." Mia reported the two of them. Out of the blue, a large head popped up behind her.
"Ooh lala! Ahahahaha!" Rome laughed. "Having fun there, Brian?"
"Whatever, Rome." Brian scoffed him off. Then, he turned to Suki. "C'mon, let's eat."
With that said, Brian and Suki followed Mia and Rome downstairs. Outside, they were already preparing the dining table. Han, Gisele and Tej were plating the three Bacon-Bomb Explosions that they prepared while Brian and Suki were upstairs. Dom and Letty carried a few bottles of beer to the table. Once the food and drinks were on the table, Rome instructed everyone to gather around.
"C'mon, guys! Me hungry!" He exclaimed loudly. His hunger got the best of him and he took a slice of the Bacon-Bomb. He knew that we would have to say grace for doing that but he didn't mind at all since he already had one in mind. Once everybody was at the table, they held hands as Rome began saying grace.
"Let us put ourselves in the Holy Presence of God. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen." He began. "Father, we thank you for the gathering of friends. Father, we give thanks for all the choices we've made because that's what makes us who we are. Father, we give thanks for all the blessings you have showered upon each and every one of us. Thank you for bringing Suki home to us, especially to my pal Brian. Bless us, O'Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ, our Lord. Amen."
"Amen!" Everyone screamed happily before grabbing whatever they could from the tray. In a flash, every slice of the Bacon-Bomb was taken.
"I could get used to this." Suki smiled to Brian.
"I'm sure you will, baby." Brian said to her as he leaned in for a kiss.
One they finished their dinner, everyone brought their plates inside to be washed. Suki was willing to help them but they insisted that she should take a rest. She tried to argue but eventually gave up. When Brian enter the house carrying the last few plates, they immediately instructed him to bring Suki up to his bedroom so that she could rest.
"C'mon, Suki. You should take a rest." Brian insisted as he grabbed Suki's hand and led her to his room. Once he opened the door, he quickly fixed his bed so that Suki could lie down on it comfortably.
"Who sleeps with you in this room?" Suki asked out of curiosity after noticing how messy his bed was.
"Rome and Tej sleep with me but they prefer to sleep on the floor. Rome loved the cold floor and Tej simply hated falling off the bed." Brian replied. After fluffing his pillows, Brian laid Suki on the bed and pulled up the covers.
"Brian, can you keep me company for tonight?" Suki asked quietly. Brian simply smiled.
"Of course. I'm sure everybody had that in mind." Brian replied as he slipped himself next to Suki.
"Thank you, Brian." She whispered to him as snuggled herself comfortably onto Brian's chest. "It's like an angel sent you to me…."
"More like my angel welcoming me home." Brian grinned as he kissed her forehead. "Goodnight, Suki."
"Goodnight Brian." She replied. Brian smiled at his long lost friend. She had never looked so peaceful. He simply wanted to carry her in his arms and bring her to some place far away but no, he couldn't. She was still unaware of his love for her. He had to tell her sometime soon.
"I love you very much, Suki. I love you with all my heart and I'll make sure that nobody will hurt you." Brian said silently as he brushed a few strands of her hair that were on her face. However, before Brian could continue, he had a strange feeling that he was being watched. He took a peek at the door and sure enough, Rome and Tej were standing at the door, giving Brian an evil grin. "Oh, shut up you two. Just go to sleep."
"Jeez, we were just kidding bruh." Tej whished as he went to the left side of Brian's bed where he would usually sleep.
"Will she be staying here?" Rome asked as he laid down on the right side of Brian's bed.
"I think she should. She's part of the family now. We'll get her stuff tomorrow and squeeze it in here." Brian replied. "But I will have to deal with Jimmy first, though."
"You know, we've got your back Brian." Tej grinned as he closed his eyes.
"You've got my support too, bruh. Let's teach that mechanic bastard a lesson tomorrow." Rome added.
"Thanks, guys." Brian replied. "Goodnight."
AN: Working as hard as I can on Chapter 5. Should I give Jimmy some fellow subordinates or should I just leave him alone? If you wish to give a suggestion, kindly leave a review. Thank you! :D
