So this is a bit of a quicker update than usual. But I'm sitting here watching Sound of Music and I've got everything written, so thought that I would put it up. The song used in this chapter is Forever by In This Moment. Also, the band I mention at the end, Devilskin, is an amazing group from my home country :)

"Monica," Letty sighed. "Why are we having this discussion? It's a no. It's a no from me, and it's a no from the rest of the band." She looked across the room to where Brian and Jesse were sitting. Monica started another spiel, but Letty just cut her off. "Look, Mia is going to be here any minute, and then we're meeting the car downstairs to go to the arena to get ready. This is so not the time to talk to me about—"

"That's enough!" Leon walked through the doorway between the kitchen and into the lounge. He reached forward and snatched the phone from Letty's hand. "We're not performing with his band. He's a fucking asshole, and this is our tour. Now, we've got a concert to get ready for, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to fuck our leading lady off before that." He dropped his hand and ended the call, handing it back to Letty. She gave him a grateful smile and then her eyes darted to the door when she heard a knock at the door.

"Yes!" Brian jumped up from the bed and practically ran from the door. He threw it open and Mia was standing there, a roller bag at her feet. "Hey!"

"Hey!" Mia cried, jumping forward and throwing her arms around his neck. The band inside ran forward as well, waiting for the couple to be done with their kisses and hugs after a month apart before leaning in to welcome her. Brian stepped around his girlfriend and into the hallway, reaching down to pick up her bag. He froze, his head tipped to the side, and then there was a grin that spread across his face. Mia looked over her shoulder and saw her boyfriends reaction, and then looked over at Letty. "Oh, yeah," she smirked. "I brought you a present."

"A present?" Letty raised her eyebrow.

"Yeah, a present," Mia grinned. Brian came back inside the hotel room and then stepped to the side, letting Letty's 'present' come into the room.

"Dom!" Letty cried out, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Hey, Let," Dom grinned at her, stepping into the room and wrapping an arm around her shoulders and bringing her in close to him. The smile that spread across her face almost split her face in half as she wrapped her arms around his waist and held onto him tightly.

"What are you doing here?!" She asked as she pulled back.

"Well, I wanted to see you," Dom replied. "I'm not here for as long Mia will be, I can only be here for a few weeks, but I just wanted to see you." Letty wasn't even thinking about the other people in the room as she sucked her lower lip into her mouth, blinking up at him and shaking her head slightly. Dom's smiled softly, lifting his hand to rub it over her cheekbone. "And your song last night was gorgeous." There was a slight blush on her face and she reached up to press her mouth to his.

"Our Letty is turning to mush," Leon sung out behind him.

"She's like a puddle!" Brian joined in.

"Oh, piss off," Letty mumbled over her shoulder, but there was no venom in her voice. She shot a smile over her shoulder at the rest of her friends, minus Han and Gisele, before leaning her head back against Dom's chest. It felt like the most natural thing in the world as he dropped a kiss to the crown of her head, his arms still locked around her.


"You guys have been incredible!" Letty shouted into her microphone as she walked across the stage to where her water bottle was sitting on the ground. Cheers went up from the crowd—clapping and shouting echoing through the enclosed venue and Letty grinned as she looked over her shoulder to the rest of her band mates. Brian met her grin, while Leon was looking down at his guitar, fiddling with the tuning keys, and Han was taking a long drink from his own water bottle, wiping away the sweat pouring down his forehead. Letty took a long drink from her bottle and then threw it back to the ground, walking back to the centre of the stage. "Okay, so this next song," she began. "This next song was written between me and my favourite man, Brian, over here." Another defeaning cheer went up from the crowd and Letty laughed, glancing back once more.

"Favourite my ass," Leon piped up from a few steps away from Brian, barely able to be heard over the crowds, but some of them heard, and there were scattered laughs.

"One of my favourite," Letty quickly corrected, speaking partly to her band and partly to the crowd. "Because there's no way I could choose between my boys." Her eyes flickered to the side, to where Mia, Dom and Jesse were standing in the wings. Dom smirked at her and Letty licked her lips quickly before turning back to her crowd. "Now, as I was saying, I wrote this song with Brian. Now, Brian is in love." There was a predicatable, collective 'aw' from the crowd and Letty laughed. "He's pretty sure he's been in love for the past year, but he's only gotten up the balls to tell her the past couple of months."

"Shut up!" Brian shouted, and the first few rows of people tittered.

"We started writing this song a while ago, but we didn't finish it until about a month ago, so this is the first time we have preformed it! Kind of touches on how we're almost always moving around, and can't be next to the person we want to me all the time," her eyes darted across to Dom once more. "And it's about how long someone's love is going to last, when you find that one, perfect person. And this is also the first time that Brian's special lady has heard the song as well, so you guys are all together on that one!" Letty ducked her head, resuming her position just off centre as the lights dimmed.

Another round of cheers went up from the crowd, and Letty felt her lips curling in a smile as the intro to the song began. They had played with the idea of writing a slow song—a ballad—but Han had picked up the chorus on his drum set and then the pace had only increased from there. She nodded her head to the beat they were setting, lifting the heel of her foot to tap along with the drum beat. Letty felt her toes curling in pleasure as the drums and two guitars came together, heating her blood as she took in a deep breath, filling her lungs and starting the song.

My heart's gone
He no longer lies by my side
He left at dawn
And once again I lie alone

Dom glanced over at his sister, who was staring up the steps and onto the stage, her expression entranced. The lights were still dimmed, only one of the spotlights spinning around over the audience and occasionally over the stage but not focussing on any one band member. He narrowed his eyes so where Letty had been standing before the lights had switched off, and he could vaguely make out her bouncing figure as she started on the bridge of the song. Mia nudged him in the side and he grinned over at her, throwing his arm around his sister's shoulders as the chorus began.

The spotlight fell on Letty, lighting her up for everyone to see, and other lights glowing around the stage to show her band. She was holding the microphone with both hands as she belted out the lyrics.

Forever starts today
Forever we will be
Forever every day
Forever faithfully

He completely understood his sisters entrancement. Letty's voice held the long notes perfectly when she sang the chorus, feeling behind every word. Brian and Leon grinned across at each other as they broke into the small solo after the chorus. Letty was nodding her head furiously to their beat as she walked over to Brian, leaning in close to him before entering the next verse.

It's been three weeks
(You know I had to leave)
Your voice is all I have to hold
I lie here alone
(I'd be there if I could)
Awaiting my love's return

There was a faint return to her words, coming from the backing track, but Dom could also hear Brian singing them into Letty's microphone. She was approaching the chorus again, her shoulders tightening as she spun around to face the crowd once more and sing to them. After the chorus that time, there was a guitar solo, that Brian executed perfectly, the crowd going wild and Mia grinning and clapping her hands excitedly. The lights were all dimmed except the red and white ones that were spinning around the guitarist. The kid was good; even if Dom didn't like him, he would have had to admit that. Suddenly his attention was distracted as Letty appeared out of the darkness right in front of them, grabbing Mia's hand.

"What?" Mia shouted over the music.

"Hurry up! I'm almost up again!" Letty screamed back, tugging on her hand. Mia's eyes widened—out of fear but also anticipation. She glanced over at Dom who just grinned and shrugged, nodding his head at the Latina. Mia made the split second decision, letting Letty drag her onto the stage just as her que came.

And through it all
No matter
It all comes down to you
And through it all
No matter
It all comes down to you

Dom's eyes widened in surprise as Letty screamed out the last word, hoarse and throaty and fucking gorgeous. Clearly everyone agreed because the crowd started screaming and jumping and the spotlights started going crazy. The stage then completely lit up as Letty resumed centre stage, and people noticed Mia standing next to Brian.

They finished the song, and Letty was laughing as the lights started to dim.

"Thank you!" She shouted into the microphone. "We're going to be back in a couple of hours, but for now, enjoy the rest of your night! Up next you have Devilskin!" The lights cut out completely as a roar went up. As Letty ran off the stage in front of the three men, she pulled the earbuds out, throwing them into a nearby trash can. "Yeah?!" Letty asked Dom, adrenaline still pumping through her veins as she bounced toward him, her hair flying around her face.

"Yeah, baby!" Dom grinned as she approached him.

"That was amazing!" She cried out as she jumped into his arms, throwing her own around his neck and holding him tightly to her. Her skin was sweaty and damp but Dom didn't care as he spun her around a pressed a kiss to her mouth.

"You're fucking incredible," Dom murmured as they pulled apart and she grinned again.

"Okay, guys, break it up," Monica rolled her eyes at the couple, but she was smiling at the pair. "You have a twenty-five minutes window for bathroom, water and wardrobe change. Hurry up." Letty smirked, looking between Dom and her dressing room, grabbing his hand and dragging him down the hallway after her.

"That's enough time," she grinned.

Let me know what you guys think, and I'll send out a preview of the next chapter :)

Also, have you guys heard anything from Ruelle or Fleurie? They're incredible xx
