Chapter 11

A/n: So it's been so long, life has been a little busy and I wasn't exactly motivated but I'm going to try and wrap this one up shortly. I still don't know what to think about it sometimes I think that a chapter is great but then I go back and read it and ask myself what were you thinking but anyways let me know what you think. Thanks for any input even if you bash itA1kyndria

NICK's POV (at Race Wars)

I've been sitting up here on the top of the trailer scoping out the crowd and cars looking for Dom. Brian let me in on their last conversation; Dom told him that Race Wars will be the final test to be sure Brian is apart of the team. I have a choice lay it all on the line and possible lose both Dom out of betrayal and Brian by screwing up his job OR I can put myself directly in between the two and chance that Brian won't turn the team in if it mean I go to jail. I just have to find Dom first…

"Hey chica what's on you mind, you've got this funky disturbed look on your face?"

Letty has climbed up here to check on me so I smile, "Hey Let, yea I have a lot on my mind."

"What is this about the race, you'll destroy anybody who has the balls to line up." I shake my head no. "Is Dom with those racer shanks again—I'll kill him for you?"

I grab her arm as she tries to get up, "Let, it's not Dom. Well it is but it's the whole team. It's kinda hard to explain but I know that you guys are playing with fire, Letty, and I don't know how to protect you if Dom won't let me in."

"What! He told you! I can't believe it we said we'd keep this between just the team."

"No, Let chill. He hasn't and he won't but you guys are pretty obvious how the hell else would you all have the cars? The garage and store don't make that much money and street racing a couple times a week cannot sustain all the cars, parts, house, parties, and food. I'm not stupid; I have a little power that I would use to save Dom—the whole team, but I can't do it unless I'm in, Letty. Will you back me up when the time comes? We have been friends a long time and I know this thing with me and Dom rubbed you the wrong way but are you gonna throw away all the old times?"

"So you want a cut just in case we need you to save our asses?"

"No, I don't want or need the money. I don't want the team to see the inside of a jail cell or Dom to ever have to go back. Beside I am a better driver than most if not all of the team; you'll want me there."

"Nick, I'll always be your girl but you know that Dom has the final say." Then we climb down, Letty has to race and I need to find Dominic now.

As I work my way through the crowds, an arm slides around my waist and pulls me back towards the trailer. As he kisses my neck I laugh, "You have been avoiding me haven't you?" He shakes his head no but the look in his eyes tells me something different. As he tries to pull me towards the bed, I fight back, I need answers, "Dominic, about the other night, have you made a decision about letting me in?"

"Baby, not now after Race Wars, let just have some fun while no one else is here," he pulls me down on top of him.

"Dominic! You already talked to Brian about this, why can't you let me in?"

"Nikita, I do not want you involved, if something happens I won't forgive myself if you got hurt or—."

"You go back to jail? Dom, I am not Mia you do not have to protect me, if you do this and I have to see and wait for you then I will never forgive myself. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that could protect the team and maybe you too but I have to be involve from here on out."

"Alright. Sit down and I'll explain everything. We have been—"

"NICK! You're up next!" Jesse interrupts as he crashed through the door.

I look at the clock, "Shit! This is not finished Dominic. Now get your but out here and watch me take somebody's money."

He laughs as we head towards the starting line for the races.

I pull my car up to the line and there is this surfer dude there, acting all cocky with racer skanks all around. He looks over at me and laughs, "Baby you sure you need to be driving that? Why don't we call it now and you come here and let me teach you how to drive a stick?"

I nod towards Dom standing just past my car, "I got a stick of my own but if you think you so big why don't we put it all on the line?" and I wave about 5Gs at him.

The little punk smirks at me, "How much?"

"5 large."

"That's pretty steep for a little thing like you, you sure you want me to take that much?"

"You wanna make it 10?" I glare at him.

"5 is fine. Just don't cry when you lose."

After the race I jump on Dom's back and wave the cash in front of his face, "That sucker never knew what hit him. Why do people always try to take me on? Time and again I have to show them."

He laughs as he puts me down on a table. Then he takes my face in his hands, "Now where were we?"

I kiss him lightly on the lips, "You were about to tell me what you were up to."

His deep chuckles vibrates through me as he pulls me to his chest and smells my hair, "You just don't give up do you."

I smile, "Not a chance."

"Nick, I've fuck this up pretty good. If we get caught, I'm not going back jail no matter what happens. If the shit hits the fan we have enough stockpiled to get us all out of here for good and nobody would be the wiser."

"Dom, if you have enough already and the money I have why don't you quit right now and don't risk it?"

"Good question, I guess once we've all come this far it's just so easy to say just one more."

Leon comes running up to us, "Yo we got problems."

Dom looks out over the track as Jesse heads away, "Where's he going?"

"He just raced Tran for slips."

"Aw shit."

Tran pulls up, "Where's he going?"

Dom steps up, "Went to the car wash."

Tran steps up, "Go fetch my car."

Dom tries to keep his cool as he waves his finger in Tran's face, "Go fetch your car? We're not on your block no more. You better watch who you talk to like that."

Dom walks back towards us and puts his arm around me as Tran starts screaming, "Toretto! Toretto!"

I immediately roll my eyes, "Seriously Johnny if you want a car that bad why don't you take the one that I took off of your sister back and chill man."

Toretto just continues his rant, "Swat came into my house disrespected my whole family because somebody NARCed me out! And you knew what it was you!"

OMG what a freaking idiot to call Dom of all people a NARC…now I'm scanning the crowd to find the little shit that is the reason for this fight. As Dom is on top of Tran, security is holding back most of the guys. Lance is the first to break through the crowd as he passes by Letty and I, we look at each other and both clothsline him. Then two more come and we both start swinging to take them Dom so they don't jump Dom from behind. All hell breaks loose as Tran's team comes from everywhere and Leon, Let, Vince and I have our hands full. Vince and I both go after Dom before he snaps on Tran too much. Vince literally drags him off of a limp Tran while I jump in between them to slow Dom down.

Dom's face only shows pure hate, as he tries to get back to Tran, Vince looses a bit of his grip but I step in and put my hands on his chest, "Dominic," I murmur softly.

He is still screaming, "I NEVER NARCED ON NOBODY! I never narced on nobody!"

He finally lets me start to pull him away, as I see Brian on the corner of the crowd and I glare knowing that this is completely his fault and I don't know if I can forgive him for doing this to Dom.

Later that night

Dom has started to cool off and we were relaxing together in the camper, his fingers are softly caressing my skin on my shoulder as we lay spooning. He leans onto me, "Baby, I didn't want you to see me like that. I don't want to be that man in front of you."

I roll so he can see my face, "Dominic, you have definitely seen me at my worst and didn't even flinch do you think I will walk away from a little blood. All I ask is that you let me the whole way and be honest with me." Dom looks into deeply into my eyes and I see the most emotion I have ever seen him share, he couldn't verbalize it the way his eyes showed the love and understanding that we had. He leans down and deeply kisses me.

Just then Leon, knocks on the door, "Dom. Its now man." Dom goes to get up. I jump off the bed and grab my coat. Dom starts to shakes his head but we hear Mia angry outside.

Mia is fed up, "Each time I haven't said a word have I? I have respected you and haven't said shit. I am asking you not to go.."

Dom tries to calm her down, "Mia I'm doing this for both of us, its gonna be okay…"

Mia throws her hands up, "No No don't give me that crap you are doing this for you."

"What, why are you saying this?"

"Why are you insisting on doing this?"

Dom's nearing the car as she finally begs, "Dom please just don't do this."

I step in right beside Dom, "Mia, baby, it will be alright. I will take care of this; just go back and stay here with Bri. K?"

Dom looks up at me as he starts to shut the door, "Don't you even start this shit now Dominic. I am coming with you; Jesse gone and you are gonna need me to pick up the slack so the team comes back in one piece."

He drops his head as he realizes that I am right; he does need me and always will. "Get in the back but you will play by my rules."

A/n: I know you all hate me by now but I'm trying to make it the best I can for you. By the way if you are ever free and want to show some love for the man, Vin, I vote for him over at and chat about pretty much anything. Hope you enjoy and review lots!!
