Chapter 4
Forcing myself not cry, not to let them see me cry I turned around to look at them.
I could see the pain in Mia's eyes, and I saw the love that she felt for Brain, grow even more. I was surprised to see admiration on Vince, Leon and Jesse's face. Dom was unreadable like always. I was unprepared for what came out of Dom's mouth.
"Maybe Brian isn't so bad after all, but why didn't you tell us this from the start, why keep quiet about."
"Oh come on Dom, anytime Brian's name was brought up you yelled at us to shut up or you would storm out of the room, what was she suppose to do" Mia asked.
Shrugging Dom looked up at me "You said you hated us, what mad you come around here then."
"I wanted to know what Brian had thrown his life away for, I wanted to see for myself what all of you was about. I didn't plan on getting close to you guys. After a few races I saw that big money could be made, I knew that Brian would need the money, so I hung around some more, betting on the races, betting on you Dom. Hell you was the one that came to me."
Smiling for the first time since my announcement he mouthed "Hey I just wanted to see who the gorgeous chic was that was placing all her money on me."
Feeling the tension leave the room I could help but mouth back "Yeah I know, you was thinking with your other head, Toretto."
Laughter filled the air when Mia answered "She's knows you pretty well, bro"
"Whatever, finish your story"
"When you offered to help me, I couldn't believe it, I mean you didn't know me from jack, my curiosity got the better of me, so I agreed to go along with ya'll. It didn't take me long to figure out what Brian had been talking about, all of you accepted me with no questions. No one except my brother had done that before. All the hate I felt for you left and was replaced by love, I fell in love with all of you, and I felt at home here. I didn't want it to end and I didn't know how to tell ya'll without messing it up. I didn't want to lose ya'll, but I also knew that I couldn't keep this a secret anymore. So I understand if you hate, but please don't hate Brian."
I couldn't hold it in anymore, the tears started falling and wouldn't quit, I couldn't let them see me falling apart, getting up I grabbed my bag and took off for the door, I didn't make it half way before I was grabbed and pulled into Dom's arms. "Hey were do you think your going."
"I don't understand, I thought you would want to me to go" I cried into his chest.
"Shh it's ok, you are a part of our family, which means that you are stuck with us if you want, right guys."
"Yeah right" was the chorus. The next thing I knew I was enveloped by a group hug.
