Chapter 12: Help comes once every one thousand miles
A woman in her late twenties early thirties came out of her office in a soft bright pink dress suit with matching shoes. Her blonde, highlighted hair was tied back into a tight ponytail. She carried a light tan folder in her arms, "Mr. and Mrs. Toretto?" the woman said her eyes searching for them.
"Yes, Dr. Nikki," Maria said as she and her husband stood up.
"Letty is recovering very well, she's practically completely back to normal. Come into my office, you can see how well she's doing."
They walked into the office to find Letty lying on the white carpet, a letter opener in her hand and her wrist slit, "Okay, so she's not doing as well as I thought."
"You don't say," Tony said as he glared at the doctor.
"Nancy, call 911! Now!" Dr. Nikki shouted.
"Yes Miss."
The paramedics came into the office and put Letty on a gurney and rushed her to the hospital.
Four months later
"Hello, how may I help you?" the secretary said as she looked up from the computer before her.
"I'm here to see Dr. Lynn," Letty replied.
"Are you a new patient?"
"Yes."
"Name?"
"Leticia Rodriguez."
"Oh, yes I just got your file an hour ago. Please have a seat, the doctor will call you in when she's done."
"Alright." Letty took a seat, and waited for the doctor.
"Dr. Lynn.?" her secretary asked as she walked into the office.
"Yes, Dian?"
"Letty is here to see you."
"My new patient?"
"Yes."
"Wait five minutes till you send her in, I want to review her file once more."
"As you wish Dr. Lynn."
The woman came out of the office and sat back down at her desk and began typing. "Leticia Rodriguez, Dr. Lynn will see you now," the woman said not looking up from her typing. Letty stood up and walked into the office. "Leticia?' Dr. Lynn asked looking up from the file in front of her. "It's Letty," she replied trying to get a glimpse of the file in front of Dr. Lynn. "Please sit down, Letty. We can get to know each other."
"Sure whatever you say Doc."
"You can just call me Lynn."
"Really, all of my other therapist make me call them Doctor. Like they are really doctors, please it's not like they save my life."
"Well, that's completely true."
"Well, duh, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out."
"I guess you don't like therapist very much."
"You're just so smart."
"I'll take that as a no."
"Good guess."
"So, what are you here for?"
"My file is right in front of you, why don't you read it?"
"Alright, although I would have preferred you told me but if you want me to read your file, I will." She began to read the file.
"Don't act like you haven't already read it."
"Okay, I won't. You wanna know what I think?
"Something tells me your gonna tell me anyways."
"I think there's nothing wrong with you. You're a perfectly fine pre-teen, come on sometime or another in life everyone wants, or tries to commit suicide. It's perfectly normal."
"You are joking aren't you?"
"No, I'm completely serious."
"Cool, someone who sees it my way. Score!"
"Well, what do you want to talk about?"
"Um.well I'm living."
"With the Torettos, yes I know."
"Well, Mia is getting on my fucking nerves! She's always trying to make me all girly girl; and I'm sooo not like that and she won't leave me alone. What can I do?"
"Good question, just tell her how you feel."
"No, really. What can I do?"
"Hit her, or revenge."
"Oooo, revenge. How would this work?"
"Dress her up like a boy."
"Cool, she's gonna cry herself to sleep. Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"You're happy."
"Of course, when Mia cries I'm always happy."
The rest of the session went pretty much the same; and for once Letty wasn't trying to kill her therapist. Dominic picked her up and took her home, when she got home she was already thinking of a plan to get Mia into guy clothes.
"Letty, come eat," Maria said as Letty walked into the house. Letty stopped right where she was, she didn't want to eat, but she knew Maria wouldn't just not let her eat, she had been watching Letty closely lately and she made sure she ate all of her food. Dom could feel Letty tense up, he knew how closely his mom had been watching her, so he did something that he knew if anyone found out about he'd be is so much trouble.
"Mom, we went out for pizza, she already ate. I made sure," Dom said as he pushed her deeper into the house.
"Is that true Letty?" Maria asked coming into the room.
"Yes, Maria, it is," Letty replied, she knew it was a lie but it would save her for eating dinner.
"What kind of pizza?"
"Pepperoni."
"Alright then, go do your homework. Oh, and your uniform got here today. I want you to try it on."
"Can't you just say we never got it?"
"The first one they sent we never got, the second got shipped to China, the third was lost, and this is the fourth one, you are going to wear it!"
"Please."
"Let me think.no!"
"Please Maria. I hate skirts!"
"Sorry, Letty that's the dress code."
"Damn!!"
"Now go upstairs and trying it on."
"Fine." She stomped all the way upstairs.
"Ironically, Mia would love the outfit."
"Yeah, and every guy in school would be after her," Dom said as he put in his two cents, (A/N: another saying I don't understand, they should have a dictionary for all these sayings."
"You know, Dom is right. Maybe making Letty wear that outfit won't be a good idea," Tony said looking at his wife.
"Both of you stop it right now! Stop trying to change my mind, understand?"
"Yeah," they said in unison.
Letty came down the stairs in her catholic schoolgirl outfit, with a huge frown on her face; she stood on the bottom step as Maria examined the out fit. "Letty where are the shoes?"
"I'm not wearing them, not ever for all the money in the world," Letty replied.
"Letty, go put them on now!"
"You're all ruining my life!"
"Hey, it's just Maria," Tony said. "Me and Dom are on your side."
"Well, at least someone cares," Letty said, she heard someone chuckling quietly. "Hi Mia, what you doing home so late?" she asked then ran up the stairs.
"Mia Toretto, get your ass in here now!!" Mia walked into the room, "What the hell are you wearing!?!" Mia had on a hot pink mini skirt, with a sparkle covered hot pink mid-drift halter-top and a pair of knee-high black leather boots.
"Clothes," Mia replied smiling.
"You look like a hooker. Where the hell were you?"
"Me and a few of the cheerleaders went to get pizza."
"You weren't wearing that when you left for school."
"About that."
"You're ground till March 25th."
"Mom!"
"I'm sorry Mia you broke the rules."
Mia went storming up the stairs as Letty was coming down them, "I hate you, Letty!" Mia shouted at her.
"Oh, and I love you," Letty said sarcastically.
"Go to hell!"
"You're older you'll go there first!"
"Please, you are an insane, mentally unstable suicidal anorexic, you'll go before I do!"
"Yeah well all your friends are anorexics and bulimics! You're a wanna be blonde-haired blue-eyed slut! You think you're so cool, because your brother is Dominic Toretto and everyone of your friends has a crush on him. Why don't you get it through your head, the only reason they're your friends is because your brother in Dominic Toretto!"
"Well, maybe your friends are the same way!"
"No there not! They don't have crushes on Dom, hello they're mostly guys!"
"I hate you!" Mia shouted and ran up the stairs.
"What's up her ass?"
"Nothing, let me see your uniform," Maria said as she walked over to Letty with her sowing kit.
