Chapter 7


Mia was pacing around the living room rearranging everything for the fifth time. "Mia girl, sit down, they will be here soon" Vince yelled at her from the kitchen.

"I can't help it they should have already been here by now, what if something happened and the won't let Brian out today, or what if Brian doesn't want to see me" a now panicked Mia asked.

"Mia, Mia relax everything is fine, Brian is out and he probably can't wait to see you." Leon told her as he grabbed her hand and sat her down on the couch.

Just then Dom's car pulled up into the drive "see I told they would get here."

Out in the car Dom and Joilee were laughing at a sleeping Brian, "don't he look so cute while he's asleep"
"If you say so" Dom replied as he reached back to wake sleeping beauty up. "Hey bro, were here."

Brian couldn't believe that just inside that house was the girl of his dreams and that after all those hellish months he was going to finally see her.
"Quit staring at the house and get in there and see you girl" Dom commanded.
Brian didn't need to be told twice, as he made his way to the door he couldn't help but say a little pray 'please let her still love me.'

Mia had the door open and was ready to jump into Brian's arms but when she saw his bruised up face she stopped dead in her tracks. "Oh Brian" was all she could manage to get out as her tears began to fall. He gently grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, "shh it's ok, I'm ok and I'm here now if you want me."

"I wouldn't want you to be anywhere else" she answered as the slowly leaned in and kissed each other.

"Oh how sweet" Joilee cried. She cried for her brother knowing that he was finally home, she cried for herself knowing that she too had found a home and family.

"Alright enough crying and making out, Brian here needs to go inside and get some rest" Dom ordered everyone.

Walking in Brian saw Vince standing in the hallway, not knowing what to expect Brian braced himself for the worse but was shocked when all Vince said was "welcome home man."

"Yo Brian" Jesse and Leon yelled as they walked up to him and patted him on the back.
"Hey guy's good to see ya"

"Brian, bro you look like shit, what happened to ya" Jesse questioned.

"Let's just say the guards' thought I needed a going away party."

"Ouch, man hope you got a few licks in yourself."

"Jesse, that's enough. Come on Brian, you need to lay down before you fall down" Mia told him, seeing how he was having a hard time staying upright.

"You get him settled and I will be up in a minute with his meds" I told Mia as her and Brian disappeared up the stairs.
"Ok guys lets keep it down so they can have alittle bit of privacy."

"Yes mom, but how about we go up and some privacy of our own" Dom smarted off as he grabbed me a pulled me into his arms.

"In your dreams Toretto"

"Every night baby" Dom answered with a very serious look on his face.

I didn't know what to say, I mean yes I had though about it but I never really thought that he felt like that. "Dom I"

"Look I know that you didn't expect this and hell I didn't either but I like you and I want to know if I have a chance with you."

"Yeah, you have a chance but I need to take things slow, I can't handle having another broken heart" I told him honestly.

"That's cool, unlike some believe I can take things slow" he whispered as he bent down to kiss me.
