Months had gone by. Dom had still no clue where she was. He searched and searched, he couldn't find her. Mia was getting worried. He would rarely come home and when he did he was either drunk or had gotten in a fight. She along with Brian and Vince tried their very best to console him but nothing worked. He could never forget her.

"I don't get it, they didn't even tell me they were moving" Vince voiced out.

"Obviously they wouldn't, if Letty had told you we wouldn't be in this position right now"

The happiness that once belonged in the Toretto household was gone. Now it was replaced with sadness and anger and hate.

"Dom, maybe she's in Michigan"

"I already called she dropped out"

"Dropped out? Why? It was her eternal dream to go there?"

Dom just shrugged his shoulders and chugged down his 4th bottle of beer.

"How about Texas?"

Dom just shook his head.

"She never enrolled there either" he said slurring his words. The alcohol was taking effect sooner than usual

"How much longer are you going to be doing this?" Vince asked slightly pissed off.

"She even changed her phone number" Dom said laughing.

"Dom! Come on enough! You can't keep on wasting your life like this!

"She was my everything! You expect me to just forget about her and move on?" Dom said raising his voice and shoving Vince.

He walked away, climbing the stairs, nearly falling down on one.

Mia was worried.

"I'll go talk to him" Vince said.

"No, I'll go" Mia announced.

She knew her brother wouldn't want to be disturbed but she didn't care. He needed her and she wasn't going to let him down. She knew he wouldn't be in his room. She climbed up onto the roof and sat down beside him.

"Mia, get back inside. You could fall"

"I'm not going anywhere"

Dom just looked up into the stars and continued sipping on his 5th beer.

"She's gone Mia" he said slightly tearing up.

Mia could see the pain in his eyes and his words. He really really missed Letty. She had not let him explain and now he was suffering. She knew Dom would never forget her but she was going to help her brother slowly move on. One step at a time.

Mia hugged her brother really tight. His tears soaking her blouse.

"Dom, if you really love her you'll let her go"

"I can't!"
"And if she's meant for you she'll come back"

"If she doesn't?"

"Then it was never meant to be. I know you and Letty. You guys are definitely meant for each other. Just give it some time"

Dom looked at his sister and was proud of her. She wasn't the same little girl who used to irritate him. She was a grown, young, independent, wise and smart woman.

They sat on the roof a little longer staring at the stars and appreciating each others company. Dom was glad he had his sister there for him.

"And Dom"

"Yeah?"
"I think you should take that teaching job"

"How did you know about that?"

"I saw the letter. It's perfect for you. You like kids and you love cars. You should take the job, it'll keep your mind off of things for sometime"

"I guess you're right" he said as he watched his sister go into the house.

...

Letty was sitting on a bench in the park. The heavy downpour drenching her clothes and hair. She was in Indiana. Her third and final choice. She never opened the envelope until a few months ago. She wanted to forget him and everything that happened in Echo Park. She wanted to be free but it wasn't helping her situation at all. No matter what she did, how much she studied she couldn't get him out of her mind and her thoughts. It haunted her. Everything about him kept on replaying in her mind.

Her mother had understood her situation and actually came up with the plan to move. They had relatives in Indiana who had helped them out.

She was walking back home. It was really late and her mother had taken it upon herself to wait for her.

"Oh GOD Leticia. Where have you been? Why are you all soaking wet? What is wrong with you?her mother rambled as she dried herself.

"It was nothing ma, I just lost track of time"

"I know exactly what you've been doing. Honey I know it's hard but you have to move on sweetheart"

"Ma, it's harder than it seems"

Ana hugged her daughter in a tight embrace. She patted her back and soothed her daughter. It broke her entirely to see her baby go through so much of pain especially within these past few months.

"I know you might not be ready..."

"Ma, I don't want to. I already told you"

"Stop being so stubborn and hear me out. Why don't you go out with that boy I told you about whom I met in the hospital"

"I don't think I'm ready yet"

"Not now. Maybe a couple more weeks or months. At least give him a shot. He's a very nice boy"

Letty slightly smiled at her mom and hugged her again.

"I'll try Ma, I'll try" was all she said as the tears rushed down her face.

No matter who she went out with she knew in her mind and soul she was never going to forget Dominic Toretto
