Wow! Guys, thankyou so much for the reviews! Didn't expect that many in one go! Huge love to you all, my lovely reviewers.

I am a little nervous about this chapter, but I hope this part of the story lives up to your expectations.

Enjoy! X

Dom pulled into the driveway a few seconds after Letty did. He sat in his car, watching her as she lifted a sleepy Ruben from the car and shut the car door, not glancing in his direction. The orange lights lit up his car as she locked it, heading for the house to put Ruben to bed. He sighed and rested his head on the steering wheel for a few minutes, gathering his head and emotions, before stepping from the car and locking it up.

He headed up the steps to 1327 and stopped outside, taking a deep breath, before stepping into the house, hearing Letty upstairs with Ruben. He headed for the kitchen, opening the fridge and grabbing two bottles of Corona, before locating the bottle opener and opening them, taking a long swig from one of them.

He headed back to the living room, sitting on the sofa and placing the drinks down on the coffee table. He lifted his hand and wiped his mouth, as thoughts started to swirl round his head.

Did Letty really get Mia hooked on drugs? Why wouldn't the others say something?

He shook his head, trying not to get ahead of himself. There might be a reasonable explanation for all of this, though Dom doubted that. He sighed and tried to shut the thoughts out of his head, grabbing his bottle and taking another swig, already halfway through his bottle. He got up and headed back for the kitchen, grabbing the rest of the six pack from the fridge and the bottle opener. He stepped back into the living room, seeing Letty on the stairs, her body language tense.

'I- I assume you want to talk?' she asked him, her voice slightly shaking. She was terrified of how this was going to turn out. She knew he wouldn't hurt her, especially with her being pregnant, but she knew he could raise his voice and that was scary in itself.

Dom didn't answer. He nodded and sat back down on the sofa, putting the Corona's on the table. He waited a few minutes, for Letty join him, before he turned his head and saw her still stood on the stairs. 'You not going to sit down?' he asked, with a slight frown.

Letty nodded, slightly confused to why he was being so calm and not shouting. She stepped slowly off the stairs and sat down gingerly next to him. 'Why- Why- Why aren't you-'

'Why aren't I shouting at you?' Dom asked her, looking at her as she nodded. 'Because I want to hear it from you, how it happened'

Letty eyed the bottle of Corona, wishing she could take a sip. She licked her lips before she sighed and began...

It had been two months since Dom had been sent to Lompoc and everyone had been coping in different ways. Leon had thrown himself into work, Mia had her schoolwork to keep her occupied. Jesse was designing cars more frequently and Vince had been out every night. Letty knew it was hard for him, not having his brother with him. The two had been inseperatable since the third grade.

'Are you sure you don't mind me hanging out with you tonight?' Letty asked, as she and Vince headed down the dark, but well lit streets, heading into town.

'As long as you don't annoy me, no I don't' Vince joked, swinging his arm round Letty's shoulders.

Letty rolled her eyes. 'I'm not going to ruin your pulling chances, trust me!'

Vince laughed, before he turned serious. 'How are coping? Without Dom?'

Letty shrugged a shoulder. 'It's hard but you have to get on with it. Each day that passes, is a day closer to him coming home' she said simply, tucking her hands into her jacket pockets.

Vince nodded before a comfortable silence fell between them. It wasn't long before they reached the club and used their fake IDs to get in, before heading straight to the bar. The hours seemed to disappear and it didn't seem that long till they were both slightly drunk.

'Hey gorgoues! Feel like dancing with me?' a voice said, from behind Letty. She felt the unknown male wrap his arm round her waist and she quickly turned in his grasp.

'I'm with someone!' Letty told him firmly. The guy, who introduced himself as Owen, just smiled and backed off slightly.

'Okay, but you look like the type of girl who wants a good time' Owen shouted, over the music. Letty frowned and watched as Owen produced a small, plastic bag.

'What's that?' Letty asked, taking a swig of her drink.

'Now, you're not that naive, are you?'. Owen walked away, leaving Letty staring after him. A tap on her shoulder caused her to turn and see Vince, holding her drink out to her.

'Who was that?'

'A guy called Owen...' Letty replied, looking back over her shoulder, finding him staring straight back at her...

Letty almost tripped through the front door in her heightened state, as Vince caught her and laughed. They walked into the house, Letty heading for the music player, cranking the volume up full blast before switching it on. The msuic blared from the speakers, causing Vince to laugh and throw his head back.

'WHAT IN GOD'S NAME?' Mia and Leon pounded down the stairs, both of them stopping dead when they saw the state Letty and Vince were in.

'Hey, Mia! Come and dance with me!' Letty told her, grabbing her hand and trying to dance with her. Mia struggled in her grip and switched the music off. 'Oh don't be a kill joy!' Letty whined, throwing herself down on the sofa.

'It half past two in the flaming morning!'

'So? We're on top of the world, Mia!' Vince said, making Letty laugh, as he threw himself down next to her. Leon sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

'Are you on something? What have you taken?' he asked, stepping infront of them and gripping Letty's chin in his hand, causing her to shake her head.

'Get off me! Come on! Turn the music back on. I want to dance!'

'No, you need to go to bed!' Mia told her firmly.

'I'm not tired, I'm wide awake! C'mon, let's do something! Something fun, we all need cheering up!' Letty said, looking between Mia, Vince and Leon...

'Okay, so you both took drugs that night. Vince, I'm not surprised about, but you... Never thought you'd try them' Dom commented, before a thought entered his head. 'Did Vince force you to take them?'

Letty recoiled, slightly horrified that Dom could think his eldest friend could do that. 'No! He didn't!' she proclaimed, staring at him. 'Nobody forced me to take anything that night. I took it, I knew what I was doing. I knew what I wanted...'

'It? What was it?' Dom asked, half afraid of the answer.

'Cocaine' Dom closed his eyes as Letty answered his question honestly. He breathed through his nose heavily, before opening his eyes and staring back at her.

'Why was Vince on it?'

'How the hell do I know?'

'Why didn't he stop you?'

'What have I just said? I wanted to take it, try it just the once to see what it was like... Nothing he would've said would've changed my mind' Letty told him, before she got to her feet and headed into the kitchen.

Dom sighed and watched her grab a glass of water in the kitchen. He couldn't believe that his wife had dabbled in drugs and had never mentioned it. As she headed back into the living room, he had a sneaky suspicion that there was more to come. 'Okay, Vince didn't force you to take drugs, you took them at your own accord... How the hell Mia get dragged into all of this?' his tone had taken on a bite of anger, one that Letty had been preparing herself for...

Mia slammed the front door shut, tears trickling down her face. She was never going to trust another guy again after what her boyfriend of four months, Brian, had done. She sniffled and wiped her eyes, heading in the direction of the kitchen, finding Letty asleep at the table. She sighed. This was the third time this week she had found her asleep in various spots around the house. She slammed her hand down on the table, startling Letty awake.

'What the hell?' Letty groaned, her hand dragging through her hair roughly, as the sudden movement made her head spun.

'Letty! This has to stop. All this partying and comedowns. Stop. It!' Mia demanded. Letty slowly turned her head and glared at the younger Toretto. She was abut to scold her when she took in her distraught face.

'What's happened to you?' Letty asked, concerned.

'Do you care?' Mia asked, slouching down into the chair next next to Letty. Letty sat up straighter and looked at Mia.

'Mia, of course I care. Now, what's happened?' Letty asked, gently, reaching for Mia's arm and squeezing it gently.

'Me and Brian broke up!'

Letty pulled a sympathic facial expression. 'Oh honey! I'm sorry' she said, reaching for her and pulling her in for a hug. 'What happened?'

'I don't want to talk about it, just yet' Mia said, her cheek resting against Letty's shoulder, before Letty pulled away quickly.

'Go get a shower and get changed' she demanded.

Mia raised an eyebrow, an unimpressed look on her face. 'Why? Do I smell?'

'No, you idiot! We're going out! Go on!' Letty demanded, pulling Mia out of the chair and pushed her gently in the direction of the stairs...

'Why are we here?' Mia whined, as they stood in line for a club. After getting a shower and changed, Mia had just had time for something eat before a refreshed Letty had bounded down the stairs and almost taken her arm off as she pulled her from the house.

'Oh for god sake. Stop whining, Mia! We're out to try and fix this little broken heart! Trust me, a girlie night out is exactly what you need!'

'No, I need Dom to teach him a lesson' Mia grumbled, a slight smile gracing Letty's lips at the mention of Dom. Dom had already served six months of his sentence and it was quickly flying by.

'Well, I'm sure he will when he comes out' Letty told her, putting her arms round her. 'Now, cheer up, put a smile on your face and lets party!' Letty told her, as the queue moved forward.

Mia looked helplessly round the club. It had been a few hours since she had seen Letty and she was growing bored and slightly tired. She set her drink down and searched her bag for her phone. She grabbed it and headed for the door she saw at the back of the club. She was engrossed in her phone, looking Letty's number in her contacts, until she stepped outside and lifted her head.

She gasped at the sight of her ex. What the hell was he doing here? 'Letty? What the hell are you doing?' Mia asked, seeing Letty and Brian exchanging something. Both heads snapped up and quickly dropped their hands.

'Nothing! What are you doing out here?' Letty asked, quickly dashing to her side and trying to look innocent.

'I was looking for you... What are you doing with Brian?'

Letty frowned. 'How do you know... Brian... Brian?' Letty stared at Mia, before she rounded on Brian, as she figured it out. 'YOU! You broke her heart?'

'I didn't break her heart-'

'Yes, you did! You told me you didn't love me anymore and then ordered me to leave!' Mia shouted at Brian. Letty's nostrils flared and she gripped Mia's arm.

'C'mon! Forget about him' Letty said, opening the door wide and pushing Mia gently into the club. 'And don't ever think your dealing with me again!' Letty hissed to Brian, before she stepped back into the club and slammed the door...

Mia sat in the corner, watching Letty on the dance floor. She couldn't believe that Brian was dealing drugs, especially to Letty. She had followed her to the toilet, when she had re-entered the club, and watched her take half of the cocaine, although she had been throwing questions left, right and centre at her. Back at the table, where she was sat, her emotions were all over the place. Upset for Brian dumping so out of the blue. Disappointment at Letty for dealing again. Hell, she even still mad at Dom after six months for what he did.

She let out a strangled yell and grabbed Letty's bag, searching through and finding the little bag of white stuff. She clutched in her hand, before grabbing her drink and disappeared to the girls room.

Letty returned to the table, a few minutes later, a smile on her face, expecting to see Mia. She frowned when she didn't and then she saw her bag open. Fear shot through her as she quickly searched it and her eyes darted round the room, before settling on the ladies toilets.

'MIA!' she shrieked, as she barged through the door. Letty was lucky the toilets were empty, apart from Mia, who was wiping her nose. Letty strode towards her. 'What the hell have you done?'

Mia frowned. 'You can't speak! You do it on weekly basis!'

'I know what I'm doing! You're going through a heartbreak, you don't know what you're doing. You're vulnerable!'

'Excuses, Letty! You just don't want me going down the same path you're slowly going down! Don't think I haven't noticed!' Mia shot at her, before brushing past her and heading back into the club.

Letty was speechless and picked up the now empty, little, plastic bag and screwed it up in her hands and let out a long sigh...

Dom sat silently as Letty fiddled with her thumbs. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, before running a hand over his head.

'Look, I know that if I hadn't have taken Mia out, there's a very strong possibility that she wouldn't be where she is today. Okay, I'll take full responsibility for what I did!' Letty told him, when he didn't speak for a few minutes.

Dom opened another Corona, the fact that he wasn't shouting or throwing things were keeping Letty calm, but nervous.

'Dom-'

'It's not your fault, regardlss of what Mia says'

Well... That she didn't expect. 'But... I took her out-'

'Did you forced the drugs down her throat?'

'NO!' Letty shot to her feet at the accussation, but Dom shook his head, as she took the statement for an accussation.

'I'm not accussing you, Let!' Dom insisted, watching as she sat back down with a frown. She opened her mouth but Dom beat her to it. 'Listen to me, you didn't force Mia to take them. She took them at her own accord'

'But I took them infront of her. I'm just as bad, it was like I was encouraging her!'

'Letty, she followed you into the bathroom. She didn't have to. She had a choice! Everyone has a choice' Dom told her, moving closer to her on the sofa.

Letty opened and closed her mouth again. When she had entered the house, she had a complete different vision of how this was going to turn out.

'Letty... How did you... get off the drugs?' Dom asked, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear.

Letty glanced at Dom and mumbled something he didn't get. He leaned forward, causing her to repeat what she said. 'I had seizure'.

Dom scrambled from the sofa, in shock. 'YOU HAD A WHAT?' He winced at his loud voice, as he remembered the others in the house and calmed himself down.

'I had a seizure. Combining different drugs and alcohol isn't a good thing...'

Letty groaned as her senses started awaken and that annoying little bleeping sound wouldn't stop. She slowly opened her eyes, wincing as the bright light hit them. 'What the hell?' she mumbled.

'LETTY!' Leon exclaimed, dashing to her side and grabbing her hand. 'You're okay, I promise'

'Where am I?' she asked, her head felt heavy, as she used her eyes to glance around. The heart-rate montior gave her enough information. 'Why am I in the-' she cut herself off as she remembered.

'You had seizure, Let. You're lucky I was in the house at the time it happened, Letty!' Leon told her, stroking her hair back.

'Seizure? Oh my god, did anyone else see?'

'No, you're okay. Jesse and Vince are on the way. You scared me, Let! I thought I was going to loose you-' Leon cut himself off as the emotions got the better of him. He had been panicked, horrified and terrifed when he had found Letty. He was lucky the phone was in the kitchen and within reach for dialling an ambulance.

'Leon?' Letty asked, reaching out for him.

'Letty, please, I'm begging you. You and Mia, these drugs and drink binges, they have to stop! It's been going on for four months and Dom's starting to ask questions!'

Letty raised an eyebrow in surprise. 'But... he told me not to visit. He said he didn't want me to see him in there...' Letty told Leon.

'Think he's changing his mind. Don't tell him I told you this... But he misses you. A lot.' Leon told her.

It was staring at Leon, looking like he was going to break, that caused Letty to clamp a hand to her mouth as she realised the reprecusisons of her actions...

'So... All that time, thats why the boys were acting shifty. I knew something was happening' he said, bowing his head. Letty moved closer to him, rubbing her husband's back. After seeing Leon's reaction and having him explain the seizure to her, she had cried for two hours straight before ordering the poor nurse, who was dealing with her, to get her on 12-step programme. Hearing about the seizure had been enough to terrify her, especially after Jesse had broken down after Leon told him and Vince what had happened.

'Dom, don't you blame me a little bit? For that night?'

Dom lifted his head and stared at her. He knew she was waiting for him to blow a gasket, but he knew that he would terrify Letty and Ruben, if he woke up and caught them screaming at each other. 'No, I don't blame you. How many times do I have to say that? Did you try and make Mia quit the drugs?'

Letty nodded. 'We tried to make her go cold turkey, but Mia pushed Jesse's buttons and well... Lets just say the atomosphere was tense for a few days afterwards with him... And then, the night before we left for the Dominician. I said some horrible things, but I thought they would make her see sense...'

Dom froze as he words sunk in. 'Hang on... The night before we left? You knew where she was?' He tried to keep his voice calm, but her words had set his anger off.

'I - I arranged to see her. Have one last try at convincing her. I mentioned that you were home, I thought it'd do the trick!'

'YOU KNEW!? Letty, did it ever occur to you that I would've come with you?'

'I wanted to try on my own! You heard what happened with the cold turkey attempt and look how she reacted tonight! God knows what could've happened back then!'

'I could've gotten her to stop!' he growled at her, before getting to his feet and heading for the kitchen door. Letty rushed after him.

'Where are you going?' Dom didn't answer her. 'Dom, please, don't hate me!'

Dom sighed. 'I could never hate you, Letty.'

Letty let out a sigh of relief at that little statement. 'I'm sorry I didn't tell you! I just couldn't let you see her in that state. You made me promise to take care of her and I broke that promise... But imagine if it was me in Mia's shoes. Would you want to see me like that?'

Dom stared at her as he thought about it. 'No, I wouldn't.' he admitted. 'But she's my sister, Let! Why can't I help her?' he asked, wrapping his arms round Letty tightly, when she hugged him tightly.

'Dom... She's an addict. She got to want the help herself, before we even think of helping her. At this moment in time, she doesn't want it...'

'But she might...' Dom whispered brokenly.

'Yeah, she might, one day. And if she does, we'll fly back here and we'll help her. But for now, we just have to let her do her own thing and when and if she reaches out for help... I promise, we'll be here to help her...' Letty told him, rubbing his back comfortingly, as her own tears burned her eyes...

Wow! Longest chapter ever!
