Chapter 9-Death comes to those who wait
Mia came running into the house, she stopped when she noticed all the blood on the carpet, "Oh My God!!! Oh My God!!! Oh My God!! Letty, Letty wake up!! Please Letty!! Oh My God!! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!!" She ran over to the phone and dialed 911, she cried as she talked to the woman on the other line. When the paramedics arrived the pronounced Letty's stepfather dead, when they got to Letty, she was barely breathing and she had a faint heartbeat and it would skip every few minutes. When they got to the hospital they rushed her to the operating room, blood had already soaked through the gurney she was on and was dripping on the floor as they rushed her into the operating room. Mia sat in the waiting room, waiting.waiting for her parents, waiting for her brother, waiting for Letty to come out and then just plain and simply waiting. Mr. and Mrs. Toretto walked into the hospital with Dominic right behind them, "Where is she?" Tony asked.
"She's in the operating room, she been in there for over an hour now," Mia replied looking up at her father.
"I'm gonna go ask the doctor how she is and I'll be back," Mrs. Toretto said.
She left leaving Tony, Dom and Mia to talk, "Where were you when this happened Mia?" Tony asked.
"I went to the corner store to buy something," Mia replied.
"Why didn't you take her with you?"
"I was only gonna be a few minutes."
"Why didn't you just stay there, you were suppose to be taking care of her and you weren't. You see what happens when your irresponsible, someone gets hurt."
"I'm sorry."
"I suggest you tell that to Letty. You're ground and the only reasons you will be leaving the house is to go to school and your cheerleading competitions, understand young lady?"
"Yes, dad."
"Good, we'll see if your mother has anything else to add to it."
Mrs. Toretto walked up to them, "The doctor said she should be out of surgery in a few minutes, she'll be in recovery for a while and then they're gonna take her to ICU."
"I've punished Mia, would you like to add anything to the punishment?" Tony said.
"What's her punishment now?"
"She's not allowed to leave the house except for school and cheerleading stuff."
"No allowance or fancy new clothes that she doesn't need."
"But mom, there's a dance in a few weeks!" Mia shouted, pleading could clearly be heard in her voice.
"Well you're not going anyways, and I suggest you start getting use to it, Mia cuz you won't being going to any dances or parties or anything like that for the rest of the year!"
"But mom I already told Billy I'd go, you can't do this!!"
"Oh, yes I can! And I'm returning those dresses and shoes I bought you."
"No Mom! Please don't do it! Oh please!!"
"I'm sorry Mia but that's what happens when you aren't responsible!"
Mia cast her eyes to the ground as her mother begun to pace across the room, Dom sat next to his sister and leaned his head against the wall, Tony stood with his wife trying to clam her down. A few minutes later the doctor came out and Tony and Maria rushed over with Dominic right behind, "Mr. and Mrs. Toretto?"
"Yes," they replied and they held each other's hand.
"Well, it seems that there are complications and there are a few pieces of glass are a little deeper than we thought and will have to be removed as quickly as possible. It's being done right now and once all the glass is gone we'll be putting her into a room in ICU. She won't be able to walk when she comes out of surgery, and she'll have to go through some physical therapy to help her walk again; it will take a while but she'll be able to walk soon."
"She'll be able to walk again right?" Maria asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Toretto she will."
"That's good, that's really good."
The doctor went back through the swinging doors, they swung for a while until they slowed and finally stopped. Dom watched as his parent walked over to the other side of the room and started to talk, Dom knew what they were talking about.Letty. He looked over at Mia, she still hadn't looked up from the ground, she was angry that his parents had taken so much away from her, but didn't they have the right? Didn't she leave Letty alone?
When Letty was finally in her room, Mr. and Mrs. Toretto went in to see her first; they walked over to the side of the bed. Letty was asleep and she was getting a blood transfusion, one of four bags of blood she would get that day. The doctor said that she wouldn't be up for a few hours and not to worry if she didn't wake up while they were there. Maria looked around at all the tubes, and machine that Letty was hooked up to; beeping could clearly be heard. Dom and Mia came in next, they stayed with Letty for a few minutes then when home.
A few weeks later.
Letty sat in her wheel chair Mrs. Toretto was pushing her into the physical therapy room; a nurse helped her to her feet and helped her over to the bars. She grasped onto the bars to help her stay up as she tried to walk across the short strip. When she reached the end the nurse helped her turn around and walk back to where her wheelchair was. Mrs. Toretto helped her into the chair to rest and the nurse wheeled her over to the wooden steps; Letty used the railing to pull herself out of the chair as the nurse slowly pulled it away from her body. The nurse helped her up the wooden stairs; Letty's tiny body shook with pain as she used all her strength to get up the stairs. She turned around slowly and started to walk back down, her legs shook as she made her way back down the stairs, she got back into her wheelchair and she took a fifteen-minute break.
Author's Note: I promise that Letty won't be eight forever she should be getting older soon and well get to see some interesting stuff. But she's not gonna grow up too fast, I'm not gonna go from eight to sixteen in one chapter; I might skip two years but not more than that. And I know it's a short chapter but I promise the next chapter will be longer.
