Chapter 2
Joilee scanned the crowd looking for Dom and his team. For the last five months she had been coming to the races and betting on Dom. When he found out that she had been hanging around and betting on him, he got curious. She told him that she was trying to win enough money to help get her brother out of jail and to help get him back on his feet. When she told him he was more than happy to help out, in fact he taught her how to race and entered her in some races. Amazingly she had done well and won every race that she entered. She and Dom had formed a friendship and he accepted her into his group. God was he going to freak when he found out just who her brother was.
Dom and his team pulled up and as Mia got out she spotted Joilee talking to Hector. Mia and instantly took a liking to Joilee, probably because she didn't take no shit from her brother. "Hey girl you racing tonight" Mia asked walking over.
"Nah, just placing my money on Dom tonight."
"Hey you can place more than your money on me baby."
"In your dreams Torretto, now get your head out of your ass and make me some money."
Dom shook his head as he got back into the car, that girl got him. Not since or heck even before Letty has anyone gotten to him like that. She was smart, sexy and she didn't swoon over him like all the other chic's around here did and she was working her ass off to help her brother out and that spoke volumes for her in his book.
The race wasn't even close, Dom blew everyone away and the celebration was moved from the streets to Dom's house. The music was blaring and the beer was flowing. Mia and Joilee where chatting away, while Jesse and Vince where trying to impress some very drunk chic's with their story of their brush with death. Leon was who knows were and Dom was sitting around taking the whole scene in.
Seeing that Dom was alone Joilee walked over to talk with him. "Hey Torretto nice race tonight."
"Thanks, but lets not talk about the race, let's talk about you."
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Yes there is, I don't know anything about you, I mean I know why your into the racing scene for your brother but I don't really know you or your past."
"Ok parents died when my brother and I were little, we bounced around from one foster home to another. I got adopted but they didn't want my brother so we were separated. The horror stories you read about foster care my brother lived it while I lived with a loving couple. We only found each other a few months before he got sent to prison. End of story." Turning away so he couldn't see her tears she got up, but he wouldn't let her go. He pulled her down into his lap and held her as her tears flowed for the first time in along time. "Baby I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."
"It's ok but there's more and your not going to like it, in fact you will probably hate me I tell you" she told him as the last of her tears dried up and she got up off his lap.
"Nothing you could say would make me hate you."
"Oh yeah, what if I told you that you knew my brother."
Not sure what she was trying to say and not prepared for what she told him. he asked "ok, who is you brother?"
Pulling her self together and waiting for his furry she answered "Brian O'Connor."
