So this is Letty's POV for the year away from everyone.
It's a four part-er. Basically going to explain the letters she left and the relationships with the people she left them for. Then it'll be about Dom in the last chapter and the letter she didn't send.
I think Mr. T's and Vince's chapter is going to be put together. That leaves one for Mia and two for Dom.
Letty's POV
Today was one year to the day that I slipped those notes under the Torreto door. The first person to contact me was Vince. His letter was pretty simple and to the point.
Hey man,
You are probably going to have to help Dom through this the most. He's going to need you; you two have always been there for each other. You guys were me and Mia.
We don't thank you enough. Vince you are an amazing person. You deal with our shit, and you are just there. You back up us up even when we don't deserve it. You are nothing like your father.
If your mom had stuck around she would be so proud of you. She should be kicking herself for not caring like she should have. On that note I know you understand why I need to do this. Why I needed to know my mom, and I know you would do the same for a second chance.
I'm sorry I had to leave without a good bye. It was hard leaving the first time, but for now I have to keep my distance. Dom will explain. Vince you were the best big brother a girl could ask for.
I love you,
Letty
Vince is an amazing guy he kept me up to date with everything. The only thing he didn't tell me about was Dom. Dom asked him not too. I get that, we left things pretty awful. Vince was doing well, I knew that Mr. T decided to let him half the garage which I thought was amazing. Vince deserved it more than any of us. My first phone call with Vince was about one month after I left,
"Hello?"
"Hey Let"
"Vince, you called."
"Yeah, I figured you should know that I got your letter. I wanted to say thanks."
"Yeah, your welcome"
"Letty, they're still pissed. I shouldn't even be calling. The way you left wasn't cool. Letters only say so much."
"I know but I had to get out. Vince I felt like I was suffocating"
"Why didn't you just tell us to back off?"
"It wasn't you. It was me. I was trying to do too much at a time. As much as I want to blame Dom it wasn't him. Our fight got really bad. I said things that I didn't mean. But I'm still mad V. I felt like I was losing myself. I guess fighting back was the only way I knew how to find me"
"Pretty bad way to find yourself."
"It was stupid."
"You should probably call Dom and tell him that"
"I can't. Our fight was more than that. We went way too far and I never want to do that again with him. I need space, I need to figure me out again. I have been wrapped around Dominic Torreto my whole life. I need time away."
That's when Mia was in the background screaming at him that she needed him. I sighed, I missed Mia.
"Go V. It's fine"
"Okay, Bye"
"Bye"
After that phone call, I guess Vince and I got closer. He would call when he could. But he was still in LA. He was on their side, he always would be. I hurt them. The Torreto's took me in and I just left. It was on the three month mark that I talked to Tony, my mom was on the phone with him and she said he wanted to talk to me,
"Hey Tony"
"Letty, you scared the hell out of me."
"I know I'm sorry"
"Why wouldn't you say good bye."
"Tony I'm sorry. I didn't want to disappoint you."
"You disappointed me when you just leave. I didn't teach you run away"
"I know"
"I didn't teach you to say things you didn't mean either."
I sighed, "I'm a teenager I'm not supposed to listen."
He laughed, "Smart ass"
"You taught me that"
He laughed again and I joined him.
"I've been watching your races, you've been amazing"
"Thanks to Dom"
"Dom?"
He was silent; I guess he said something he wasn't supposed too. He sighed and answered,
"He's my mechanic. I had to get him out of LA. He comes with me most of the time to help out. But he also flies back and forth to LA to help V with the garage and Mia with the store. If you ask me he's trying to keep his mind of things"
I nodded, even though he couldn't see me.
"I'm sorry again; I didn't want to leave that way."
"I know. It's water under the bridge."
"Tony what I wrote in my letter I meant. Every word."
"I love you kid"
"I love you too."
Tony's letter was the hardest to write next to Dom's. I didn't know what to say to the man that raised me but I gave it my best shot,
Tony,
I want to say to tell you how much you mean to me. How much I can't express how much you helped me become the person I am today. No matter what my birth certificate says, you ARE my father.
You stayed with me even when I could see that you were over my pranks and over my acting out. But you sat me down each time and lectured me just like I wish my biological father would but I remember one time in those lectures you said to me,
'kid you have to pull it together you are giving Torreto a bad name'
That's when I knew that you loved me like you loved Mia. You didn't care that I was the kid from the house 4 doors up. You cared about me, you cared if I was okay and for that I can't thank you enough.
I'm sorry I had to leave like this. But if I saw you before I left I didn't want to see the disappointment, or the hurt. I saw enough of that growing up, I promised myself I would never make you look at me like that again.
I love you, thank you for being the dad I never had. I couldn't have asked for a better one.
Love
Letty.
I sighed as I looked out the window of the apartment. I missed home and I missed my family. But I don't have a family to go back too. Mia barely talks to me, and Dom has only talked to me twice in the year and I had to beg. I sighed going to the kitchen to get some water when I saw my mom asleep on the couch, her cheeks still stained with tears. I pulled a blanket over top of her and kissed her cheek. I walked back into my bedroom remembering when I tried to call Mia.
I hope you like it. Mia's chapter is up next. That one will be a little more exciting. I hope you guys are liking this.
Please Review they mean a lot.
