Author's Note:
Thanks to all who reviewed last chapter. (Thanks for reading it, also, even if you did not decide to review.)
And from here on out... forgive me if things aren't in order with the movie. I'll even have to just WING what people say... because SOMEBODY rudely deleted Tokyo Drift off the DVR... which totally pisses me off.
Recap of last chapter:
Han then proceeded to put on some boxers and he went off to sleep but not before taking in Tristian's scent which she'd left behind.
Chapter 14
Tristian decided to bath and get on some night clothes before she went back to sleep. Though before she could lay down in her bed Sean stopped by to check on her. Then he bid her goodnight and went off to bed. He had told her he spent the night with Neela. Tristian had a feeling that that would turn out to be a not so wonderful thing.
The next day Tristian was in her room listening along to Heaven.
And she couldn't help but dance to the music and sing along and of course unknown to her Han somewhere along the way came to stand in her door way and he watched her. He thought she had a lovely voice and he really liked the lyrics.
"Baby you're all that I want.
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven."
Tristian at this point stopped "dancing" and just sang to the music. Still not noticing Han in her door way.
"And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven."
Tristian decided to sit down at the end of her bed and then she looked up at her door. She saw Han. He smiled at her.
"You like watching people?" She asked, somewhat annoyed.
"Only when they are acting crazy."
"You're always crazy. So invent a thing that allows you to always have a mirror in front of you... and you won't have to worry about finding anybody else crazy to watch ever again."
Han lifted a brow.
"Tristian, do you even realize how lame that was?"
She sighed, " Not like I am supposed to play it cool all of the time."
"You could at least think before you speak." Han smirked.
"Whatever. What brings you to my door, seriously?"
"Aside from the fact that I own this place and don't have to truly have a reason to roam around?" Han smiled.
"Sorry I went to sleep on your bed. I really shouldn't have gone in your room anyway."
"Did I say anything about that, Tris?"
"Nope."
"Then why bother to bring it up?"
"You were hinting."
"Was I?" Han smirked. Tristian walked over to him and sighed.
"So, seriously, what's up?"
"Just wondering if you wanted to come outside today and hang out with everybody? We're all here for the day."
"Okay!"
And outside they were, having a great time.
But then Takashi showed up.
Takashi made his way to Tristian ignoring the "hey" from Han!
Takashi was right up in Tristian's face. Tristian couldn't help but burst into laughter at Takashi's facial expression.
"You're laughing at me?" Takashi asked, dead serious!
"Urm, yeah! You make the funniest faces, ever!" Behind him everybody, even Takashi's men, fought back laughter because they knew something serious was going on.
"You should learn how to act around a guy like me."
Tristian did her best to stop laughing. It took a bit and a bunch of odd faces to hold it in... But she managed to get a serious front on.
"So, what brings you here Mister Takashi?" Sarcasm seeped from Tristian's voice.
"First you hit one of my guys for no reason. Now your brother thinks he is a hot shot for winning one race... and he thinks he can hang out with my woman!"
"First of all there was a reason to beat that hoe bag guy of yours up. Ever hear of respect and personal space? Well if he isn't giving it I won't either. He deserved what he got. Secondly Sean is a big deal. He's a good drifter now. He would beat you so bad that you'd have to leave town FOREVER for the humiliation it'd cause to lose to a gai-jin! Third, Neela isn't property and if you have a problem with my brother take it up with him!" Tristian fought back the urge to spit in the guy's face. However he smacked her across her right cheek, hard, knocking her to the ground.
Sean quickly came up and tried to defend his sister. However Takashi managed to get the upper hand and beat Sean pretty bad.
"Stay away from her. And teach your sister she's in Tokyo now and the way to get by here isn't the same as what she does. She got off easy!"
Takashi left quickly. Sean gave Han this, "What's up? You didn't help" look.
"What did you expect? You didn't just light a match you soaked it in gas-o-line!" Han said in response!
"Heck, Tristian didn't do anything, though! You just let him do that to her without saying a thing."
Han and Sean both looked over to Tristian. Her face was bruised badly. Worse than from the fight she had at school.
Reiko and Earl were helping her up. Tristian looked over at Han and Sean. They saw that she'd finally given up on trying to be strong for everybody. This world was too much for her.
"Reiko, will you take me home?" Everybody looked at her weird. "To my dad's!"
"Um, sure Tris!" Reiko replied very unsure!
"What? You live her now, remember?" Sean broke in!
"No. I lived here for my brother Sean. I moved here with my brother Sean. I can't live like this, Sean! I am going back to mom."
"No way!" Twink said!
"Huh?" Trisitan replied!
"You're totally giving up! Where is that Tristian we all know... the stubborn girl that doesn't back down!"
"She's been repressed and repressed. She's dead. She's gone. She's broken!" Tristian sighed and fought back tears. "None of you can stop me, okay! I am not staying here anymore!"
Han stood baffled, confused, and angry. Sean was purely pissed. Twink was disappointed. Earl and Reiko just wanted Trisitan to be herself again and if that took going back home to the USA then so be it- as long as she didn't stay away forever!
"Okay, I'm taking you to your dad's though!" Twink finally broke in!
Sean and Han both tried to say it was their right and place. Reiko said she was the one asked. Finally Earl told them all to shut up because Tristian obviously didn't want to be around her brother or Han at the moment.
Han and Sean then left because they were so angry and didn't want to deal with it. They both figured that going drifting would clear their minds.
Twink won over as to who would drive Tristian to Lieutenant Boswell's.
