Some days were better than others for Josie. She was still distant with everybody but she was at least trying. She had days where she would be really quiet and others where she at least participated in conversations. Dom was working on getting the dents out of his car today at the house and she brought him out a beer.

"Thanks babe." He took a drink as she stared at the dents. He saw this. "I lost it when I saw what he did to you."

They had yet to really talk about what happened at all.

"Trevor."

"What?" Dom looked at her.

"His name was Trevor." She had a distant look on her face.

"Yeah. Nate told me."

"Did they catch him?"

Dom had yet to tell her what he did. No one spoke of it. It was just over for them. He never thought about her reaction though. "Sort of. I found out where he was and went after him."

She didn't look at him.

"I broke his neck."

Her head snapped to him and he saw the tears in her eyes. He wasn't sure if they were good or bad tears.

"You did?"

Dom nodded.

"Good…. What about Letty?"

"They wouldn't let me kill her. Nate arrested her."

She looked off in the distance again. She had gone back to the therapist twice since she came out of whatever dark place she was stuck in and Sally thought she needed to confront her fear. She needed them to know what they did to her and she needed to get out her anger towards them to heal.

"I wanna see her."

"Why?" He didn't want her to be anywhere near Letty. He didn't want to lose her again.

"I need to see her." She looked at Dom. "Please."

He went to put his arm around her but she backed away a little bit so Dom waited a moment before trying again. She still did that a lot but after a moment she would let him touch her.

"Why do you need to see her?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"I'll call Nate." He went inside and got out his cell phone and spoke to Nate about it. They could see her in an hour. Dom washed up a bit and then sent a text to Brian to let him know what was going on. He wanted him, and Mia there for this.

Dom and Josie made it to the jail Letty was being held in and Nate showed her into a room.

"I wanna do this alone." She said when Dom went to go with her. He backed off and stood with Nate watching from the 2 way mirror. She walked in and stood in the corner away from the table.

Letty was brought in and handcuffed to the table.

"Can she be un handcuffed?"

Nate came into the room. "Are you sure?"

Josie nodded. The guys all showed up and stood with Dom.

Brian was confused. "What is she doing?"

"I wish I knew." Dom was worried.

Nate un handcuffed Letty and then went to leave.

"Wait! Does the guard have to be here?" Josie just wanted Letty.

"Yes. I'm not leaving you alone with her."

Josie looked back at Letty and Nate left. The guard stood back to show he wouldn't interfere.

Nate watched from the window again. "I hope you know what you're doing here Dom."

"I don't."

Letty sat there and stared at Josie before she couldn't take the silence.

"What do you want?"

"For someone to slit your throat honestly. That won't happen though. It's people like you who get off pretty easy."

"I'm in jail. How is that easy?"

"Dom could've killed you. I think you got off easy."

"Why are you here?"

"Because I gotta know…. Was it worth it? Was everything you did and had done to me worth it? Did you win the big prize?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know like at the fair you play the game you win a prize. What was your prize?"

"I didn't win anything."

"Was it worth it then?"

Letty looked her in the eye. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Watching you suffer and beg while Trevor Broke you was the best thing I had ever seen."

"What did you get out of it?"

"You are suffering. Dom suffered. Take your pick."

"What did I ever do to you?"

"You took Dom from me!"

"He was never yours to take! You did all of this because he was with me? How pathetic is that!"

"I'm pathetic? Look at you, everything that was done to you and Dom stays with you because he feels sorry for you. That's pretty pathetic."

"You're a real bitch. You ruined my life because you couldn't have the guy you wanted. You poor thing! Everyone should feel sorry for Letty, she has it so rough! You did this out of spite. You had someone come after me. You watched and videoed what he did to me and you wanna be the victim cause you're here?!"

"I wish he would've slit your throat like I wanted him to do."

"So do I!…. Everyday I wake up and wish he had killed me too. Then I wouldn't have to see the looks of sadness and worry on my friends faces. I wouldn't have to watch Dom wonder if he's ever going to get me back the way I was. I wouldn't have to have the replay of everything you guys did to me running through my head all the time. You may be in here but you still get off easy." Josie's voice broke but she held it together.

"Trevor took an easy on you. He could've really hurt you. I told him to take his time. I really wanted you to suffer."

Brian put his arms around Mia as she wiped her tears. Rome had his head down, Tej was pacing and Dom couldn't help but stare.

"I did suffer. I know what Dom and the others saw on those video calls. The worst moments of my life for everyone to see. I know Dom will never look at me the way he used to. He'll never love me like before because now I'm….damaged. I feel like you and Trevor won and I'm still being punished for something I didn't do to you!... How is that fair?!"

"I don't care that you're still suffering. That actually puts a smile on my face."

"Wanna know what is gonna put a smile on my face?" She walked up to Letty. "Knowing you're in here alone, with no one waiting for you on the outside. You have nothing, no friends, no family that wants you, and no one to be there for you when you get out. No one to come see you here. You have nothing. I'll get better in time. I will always have to deal with what happened, it'll never go away but I can heal from it, and at the end of the day I have people who care. You have nothing. So looking at it now was it worth it to just be alone? That's how you'll live and that's how you'll die….alone. Congratulations you won. You won Nothing."

"I'll get out of here one day and then you're gonna be looking over your shoulder wondering what else I can do to you. Who else do I have on my side?"

"One day you'll get out and I'll be there. I'll be there waiting for you so I can take you out. I never had a single urge to kill someone till now. I want to see you suffer and die. I hate that I feel this way because of you."

"Well Dom liked me at one time or did you forget? He loved being inside me."

"Dom knew you were easy, what guy would pass that up. He never loved you or cared about you. You were nothing to him and in the end he came back to me even after everything. You on the other hand had Toby come after me, Deagan and Levi come after me and Trevor and I'm still here. So you accomplished nothing. You couldn't even get that right."

Letty looked down; she couldn't believe after everything this girl just wouldn't die. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. Letty was supposed to have Dom and have it all not Josie.

Josie went to walk away when Letty tackled her from behind and turned her to sit on top of her.

"You Bitch! I hate you!" Letty went to hit her but Josie punched her first, busting her nose. Letty grabbed it as blood gushed down her guard pulled her off of Josie slammed her down on the table and handcuffed her. Nate came in and helped Josie up.

Josie let the wall she was trying to hold up down. "I hate you! I hate everything you did and the person you are! I hate that I hate you! I hate that you took everything from me. But it'll put a smile on my face to know you are getting exactly what you deserved. Have fun in here."

Josie walked out and ran into Dom who grabbed her in a hug. He then made her look at him.

"What she said is not true, what you said is not true. I am not with you because I feel sorry for you. I still love you like I always have. Nothing will change that. Don't wish he killed you. I have nothing without you. What she said is not true, and you are not damaged. You never were." He hugged her again and Letty watched through the open door. She wanted that and that should be her in his arms. The guard took her back to her cell.

Josie took a deep breath and looked at Dom. "I don't like feeling this way. I don't like feeling like I'm nothing. Like they took everything and I can't find my way back to you."

Brian put his arm around her as she left Dom's arms. She backed up but then relaxed a bit. "They didn't take everything. You're still here. You have all of us. What they did to you wasn't right. You're still you though."

"We love you. We're family." Rome said.

Mia hugged her tightly. "You'll get through this. With us and help you'll get through this."

Josie turned to Nate. "Thank you."

"Anytime."

They all walked out and Josie stopped as the air brushed her face and she closed her eyes breathing it in. It felt like the weight was lifted off her chest. It was easier to breathe.

"Babe, you okay?"

Josie opened her eyes and saw Dom looking at her. "Yeah. I'm okay." It was the first time she said it and meant it in a while. They got to the house and Dom put his keys down.

"I think I wanna go back to work."

"Are you sure? You don't have to."

"I wanna get my life back. I'm not gonna let them take anymore from me. If I can't handle it I'll come home."

Dom nodded and sat down at the table while she took her phone and called Danny. They worked out a night for her to come back and give it a trial run. He knew a little of what happened but he didn't need or want to know details. She wanted to get back to normal.

Brian sat with Dom.

"Are you okay man?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well no one has asked you how you are after all this. You went through it too."

Dom stood up and paced a minute before he leaned against the counter.

"They were…. I watched him rape my wife, stab my wife…. I couldn't get to her, I couldn't help her. It happened and I had to watch it. I almost lost her. For good…. The things going through my head then and now, like will I get to tell her I love her again? Will I see her smile? Will she ever yell at me again about grease on the furniture or my dirty socks on the floor? She never said goodbye to me."

"Because I knew it wasn't going to be goodbye." Josie came out and Dom wiped his eyes not realizing he had tears in his eyes till he couldn't see. "I knew it was never gonna be goodbye. I know you Dom and even though things happened the one thing I never lost hope on was you finding me. I knew you would get to me because you always told me I was safe with you. I held onto that the whole time. So no I didn't say goodbye because then that would've meant it was over and it wasn't."

"I feel like I left you down."

"You got me out. You did everything you could do. Mia said you had racers out looking all over. What Else could you do?"

"You needed me to be there and I couldn't get to you fast enough. I could've done more. He sent me videos and pictures for months and I should've told you but I didn't think anyone would actually come after you. I thought they'd come at me."

Josie didn't know what to do with that information. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to worry. I didn't want you freaked out. I was worried about you."

"Well I didn't tell you about Trevor, granted I didn't know his name until that day. He had been coming into the bar for months and he always made me feel off. He gave me a bad feeling and I never said anything because I thought I was overreacting. I even thought a couple times I saw him pointing his phone at me."

"Guess we both should've said something."

"Doesn't mean it would change anything. Sally said you can't live in the past, things can't change, you just use the past to change the future and live."

"Sounds good."

She walked over to him and grabbed his hand. The first contact she made voluntarily. Dom smiled.

"Baby steps." She then kissed him on the side of his mouth. "Baby steps."

"I can live with that."

Brian stood up and clapped his hands together. "Let's get this car done."

Josie gave a smile as he headed outside. She went into the bedroom and took out the journal Sally told her to keep. It would help her get her thoughts out and take them in.

Today I faced my monster. I had all this fear about her and in reality she wasn't that scary. Trevor is dead so I know I don't have to ever deal with him again. Toby and his cousins are in jail for a bit also so my monsters are gone for the time being. I still feel him pushing inside of me and wake up expecting him to be there but with Dom there it's not as bad. I know one day I'll be able to look back on this and say it made me stronger but right now I just wanna be able to make it through a day and night without the constant replays. I'd like for Dom to hold me and my mind not go back to when Trevor had his hands on me. I wanna say I survived because that's what I did, and one day I'll feel that.

She closed the journal and put it back on her stand. One day she needed to tell Dom everything she thought. Today wasn't the day though.

That night they went to bed and Josie looked at the chair she had been sleeping in and then the bed Dom was getting in. She took a deep breath and sat down on her side of the bed. Dom was shocked and looked at her.

"What are you doing?"

"I miss you. I'm not ready for contact or you to hold me but sleeping next to you is a step in the right direction."

"It's a great step in the right direction. I miss you too. So much."

She laid down and faced him as he laid down facing her. You could see the fear on her face.

"I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

She closed her eyes and Dom left the light on for her. He watched her a bit before he closed his eyes and went to sleep too.

She had nightmares but everytime she woke up he was still there. He would be looking at her and wait for her to calm down. He didn't leave.
