It had been exactly one week. One week since Letty had told Dom that she
hated him. And the difference was very VERY visible. Dom slouched around a
lot. He hadn't been to a race all week, just either stayed in his office,
under the hood of a car, or in front of the TV at home. Mia was starting to
worry, not only about Dom, but about Letty. She'd taken a bunch of clothes
and stuff from her room and left the Rodriguez house. Dom knew. He'd called
just about everyday, just to check if she had come back.
Mia passed the couch carrying some laundry. A hand suddenly tapped her knee. She looked down into Dom's dead eyes. But now they were different.
'Mia.' He said, his voice raspy after not using it much all week. Mia nodded. 'We're going to the races tonight.'
That night, Dom was dead set on acting like nothing had happened. He rolled into the crowd like everything was normal. People crowded around him and girls were screaming out for him.like normal. He didn't need Letty. And yet it just wasn't the same without her holding onto him.
'Hey Dom, where ya been ese?' Hector said taking Dom's arm. Dom shrugged.
'Had to take a break.' He said shortly. Hector laughed.
'First time for everything I guess. But while you were gone, some new hot shot team has been winning the races. They're fast holmes, almost too fast.'
'Yeah, well, today they ain't gonna win right Dom.' Edwin said from his car. Dom nodded. There was the sound of cars approaching and the crowd parted before two cars and a motorcycle. These were the hotshots?
The motorcyclist took of his helmet first. Or should we say her.it was that chick that was all over Carlos, Letty's brother. Then, the driver from the front car got out, again it was a girl. Some blonde chick that was at the party with Deryck. And out of the second car, wait. isn't that.
'Letty?' Dom said frowning, a bit disbelieving. And out of the passenger side, came out Jesse's girl, Erin or some shit like that.but she didn't matter.all that mattered was that Letty was there.
'God dammit, Cammi, when my car gettin' outta the shop?' Erin said to the biker chick. The girl shrugged and Erin slammed the door, 'I don't think I could deal, one more night in the passenger seat.'
'Chill, girl, we gonna fix it up fine, as soon as we win some more money.' The blonde said as they walked threw the crowd toward Edwin, Hector and Dom. Letty had noticed Dom, but she refused to make eye contact. It made Dom feel a bit sick.
'Tori, mah girl, how's it goin'?' Edwin said as the blonde walked up. They gave each other a short hug.
'Not bad, how ya livin' Led Foot?' she teased as Edwin gave Erin and then Cammi a hug. It seemed that they're teams had been close or some shit. Didn't really matter, racing is racing and its all about the win.
'Letty..' Edwin said, giving her a hug. 'How ya'll doin' girl?' Letty forced a smile, a smile only Dom could tell was fake. He knew her real smile, he lived for her smiles. But this one wasn't real. It was empty.
'I'm doin' fine Edwin, and tonight I'm gonna make some money off one a yo skanks asses.' Edwin laughed.
'That's mah Letty.'
'Who we racin'?' Erin asked getting out her cash. One of the whore biker chicks snickered. Erin turned and gave her the evil eye. 'Can I help you gutter slut?' The girl stopped laughing.
'It's just, the way you wrecked up your car last night, no chance in hell you be racin' tonight.' She said, a smug look crossing her face. Erin laughed.
'Hoe, you don't be thinkin' I'd come to this race if I didn't have a car.' Everyone watched her as two arms wrapped around her waist. 'Hey baby.'
'Hey Jess, you got the car?'
'No shit.' Jesse pointed to his white Jetta. 'All yours babe.' He said handing her the keys. The same whore laughed again. Erin then shot her another kill look.
'What now? Not your color?' Erin said coldly. Letty shook her head; it wasn't cool to get into fights with people at the races. Next thing Erin'll be fighting again. Not to say Letty didn't like fighting, it's just at the races, you'd lose respect for it.
'Well, its just, you expect to win in that piece of shit.' Suddenly she was confronted by Tori.
'Listen skank, you got a problem with my team, you gonna deal with all of us.'
'Ohhh....I'm soooo scared.' The girl fake whimpered.
'Quit pressin' your luck bitch.' Letty said. By this time there was a big crowd around them and Letty was watching from the sidelines, looking none stop at Dom. Why'd he have to be so damn, fuckin' FINE!
'Listen Tori, this bitch is out of line. Let's get this shit on.' Edwin said tapping her on her shoulder. Tori backed off and began to walk away.
'Oh, so now ya'll have a nigga tellin' you what to do, huh Torin?' the bitch managed to stifle a laugh before she found a fist to her face, knocking her to the ground. Before Tori could do anything else to her, Dom and Letty had both grabbed her and brought her to the side as she spat out words like 'bitch' and 'fuckin' whore'.
'I bet all you can do is fight with all that fuckin' blonde hair.' The girl managed to spit out before she was again punched in the stomach by Erin, who was then picked up and carried away by Jesse.
'You hoe! You better watch yo back, bitch! Watch yo back!' Letty screamed as she and Dom pushed Tori out of the circle.
'Who the hell are these people and what are you doin' with them?' Dom said as he took Letty to the side. Letty shrugged his arms off her shoulders. It hurt to be so close to Dom and only be able to talk to him. She missed him holding her, the feel she got when they were together. But he had to learn.
'Tori used to live on my street and our parents were friends.Jesse and Erin have been tight since a year ago, and Cammi I just met a week ago.'
'Can you trust them?'
'Can I trust you?' There was a long silence after all this was said. Dom gave a big sigh.
'Letty, I wish I could take it all back....' Dom took Letty's hand and he kissed her cheek.
'I know baby. But you can't.' Letty then turned and walked away, back to her new 'friends'. What the hell was Dom supposed to do without her? She was his life, she was his girl. Without her, it was like he was dead. He took a few moments to stand there, and stare at her as she walked over to her new 'team' and talked. She didn't look very happy, which made him feel a bit more needed. She was just so damn fine, wearing her leather shorts and flame boots and red halter with her hair up in a ponytail. Dom wished he could just pick her up and carry her back home and upstairs to his room.
'Dom, man, you in?' Hector yelled. Dom pulled it all together and walked out onto his stage, this was of course the shit he lived for. First was the ladies race. There were four cars pulled up. Erin's, Su-Lin (a relative of Tran), Letty's and the slut that had been beaten down earlier that night. The plan was probably that one of the crew had to win and they'd share the winnings.
'Okay, ladies. Start yo engines!' Hector yelled as Leon gave him the signal to start. His hand cut down threw the air and they were off. Letty was in the lead, right behind her were Erin and and the asian chick and then the hoe. It was an intense quarter mile, but they were rocketing down the strip so fast, split second timing was needed. The Asain chick was starting to pull up but the leader kept cutting her off, and the hoe was pressuring Erin from behind. Suddenly without warning, the hoe hit the gas and rammed right into Su-Lin. She spun out of control and hit Erin, sending them both into the other cars lining the streets. Su-Lin's flew right over one of the cars, but Erin managed to regain control and hit her first tank of NOS. The hoe was pressing onto Letty's car, probably ready to send her car into a wall of racers. Letty knew this and was going left and right, trying to shake her, but these actions were only decreasing her speed. Erin came up right behind the hoe and hit her hard right in the tail, which sent her spinning off down the track. But before Erin could get any farther, the race was over. Letty had won.
'Vicious!' Edwin yelled as the hoe climbed out of her car. He then started to bark and howl. 'Yo, girl, you need to be put threw obedience school!' The crowd began to laugh.
'Yo, fuck you all, you can all go to hell, I almost had these bitches!' Again she was pushed hard into her car. She just would never learn.
'Never cheat at these races again, or try and take any of my team down, you here me whore?' Tori screamed. The girl spat at her and walked off cursing all the way. Su-Lin followed her, both of them glaring at Tori and Letty and Erin. They were talking to the remaining Tran Clan and they were all giving the girls malicious looks. But after awhile they just blended back in with the crowd.
After three totaled cars, the races were called off. 'Listen everyone, there's no way we're gonna let anyone else race tonight!' Dom yelled over the crowd.
'NO!' someone screamed. Everyone craned around to see Jesse bent over his Jetta, which had been put threw a lot of shit. One of the tail lights was missing and there was a dent in his bumper. 'What the hell did you think you were doing? My dad is gonna kill me!'
'Come on Jess, it was the skank, not me....' Erin protested. But Jesse whipped around his face mixed with fury and hatred. Erin took a step back.
'No wonder your other car got totaled, you can't fucking drive!'
'Well, at least I take risks! That must be why you never WIN!' Erin screamed back. 'I don't need this shit! We gonna be movin' outta town anyway!' With that she turned on her heel and walked over to Letty's car and got in.
'You're skipping town?' Hector repeated to Cammi, who nodded.
'Not enough street scene for us. We found a great place to go.'
'Is Letty going to?' Dom asked quietly. Cammi remained silent.
'Listen, Dom, I don't know what crazy shit you did to Letty, but she ain't stayin' here. Not even for you.' Cammi then went over to her bike and the team pulled out and were gone within three seconds. That was it. She was gone. Letty was gone.
Hey chicas? How do ya'll like my new chapter? Meh, it's okay I guess, and I'm really sorry if u don't like the whole 'new character thing' but I promise that you'll understand why I did it. Trust me, I hate it when people put new characters into the story, I usually just don't read those stories but this had to be done. Anyway, L8ah ya'll! Love, Stokes ~**~¡Hey a todas mis muchachas mueva hacia atrás el hogar, faltan el ya'll, promesa que seré detrás casero pronto! ¡Y entonces vamos a tener un partido impresionante! ¡Promesa!
Mia passed the couch carrying some laundry. A hand suddenly tapped her knee. She looked down into Dom's dead eyes. But now they were different.
'Mia.' He said, his voice raspy after not using it much all week. Mia nodded. 'We're going to the races tonight.'
