Chapter 9- revolt
" Julie.get back here" Dom called
" I ain't going to no doctor. you know what they do?" I asked him
" yea they stitch you up properly" he said with a smirk
" no they don't.they steal your money and take organs that don't have anything wrong with them and steal them, then those organs get sold to the highest bidder" I told him
" okay.I don't know what doctor's you know but I haven't had that done to me" Dom said hoping to comfort me
" yea well.I still ain't going to no doctor." I told him
" fine you don't have to go if you don't want to" he said
" thanks" I said hoping this was the end of the interrogation
" but" he said and there when all my hope
" but what.you want to check them everyday.every hour.every minute?" I asked him slowly pissing him off
" nope.I wanted Val to check them when you get home and when you wake up and I'll have Letty check them at lunch.you have to keep them clean or else they will get infected" he said
" you make it sound like I'm dirty or something..i take a shower twice daily.okay.they are bound to come out.either at work or when I work out, so live with it.it's my body why can't you understand that?" I told him
" yea well.I can't stop what you do at home.but I want you to stop working so hard here.if you need help then ask Vince or Leon" Dom said
"what about you,.do you ever get your hands dirty" I asked him " or are you just an all talk and no action type of guy" I said teasing him
" don't test my patience..because it's at a very short fuse" he warned me
" well them get off you butt and do some work...everyone is sad and messed up about Jesse.doesn't mean that gives you an excuse sit on your behind and do absolutely nothing.. That wasn't the way that Jesse operate.and you know it.. I understand that you probably don't want to be around cars anymore but hey.get used to it.it's one of the few things that you can actually do properly..if not." I said
" where the hell do you get off.telling my what to do?" Dom asked
" because I see the pain that you and everyone around you is in..i know that Mia cries herself to sleep because she missed Brian.and I know he doesn't sleep because he misses her. I know that you can't stand cars because of losing Jesse. Vince has permanent pain in his arm, and is addicted to the pain pills and any booze he can lay his hands on.and I know that your letting your people slowly slip away from you.even the love of your life Letty.man she can only put up with so much shit that you give out" I retorted
" hey I never asked you to comment on my life" he said and looked offended
" I'm the only one that will stand up to you.your making a huge mistake" in told him
" yea but it's my life to make the mistake with" he said
" not it's not.it's your sisters.your friends and your girlfriends" I told him
" yea well-" he said and I interrupted him
" if you don't do something different soon then your going to lose everyone and your going to be by yourself.alone. Just the way you let Jesse die." I told him
" hey I wanted to be there" he said
" not enough.because you were too afraid of what might happen to you .and not your friend.what kind of man are you?" I asked him hopefully hitting him on a sore spot
" watch where you tread.I could easily fire you" he warned again
" well you fire me and it just shows and proves my point that your leading you life down a very destructive path and your destroying the people around you.and the people around you can only take so much until they leave" I told him again
" I've had enough either you stop this shit now.or your fired" he said
" then I quit.because I don't need the emotional abuse that you are so willing to dish out.and hurt others with.let people in and let them help you" I told him and walked away
" girl, wait up" Letty called and ran to catch up with her.but Dom reached out his arm and pulled Letty toward him.
" Letty your not seriously going with her" Dom questioned her
" yea.well she made a point and I'm sick of being picked on and closed out.I love you,.but you won't let me.we've stopped having sex. Dom this isn't you" Letty said and tried to pull her arm free
" okay, I'm sorry." Dom said and let go of Letty arm
" that's not enough.right now you need to forgive yourself and Jesse" I pointed out to him
" how?" he asked confused
" have you been to his grace since his Furneal?" I asked him
" nope" he said
" never?" I asked to clarify
" nope it was always to painful" Dom said
" well that's where you should start.forgive him for dying on you and leaving you without him.and anything else that is bothering you get if off you chest now.we can run this place without you" I told him
" yea" Letty agreed " go to Church while your at it"
"what's there?" he asked confused
" forgiveness.that's where your said your mother always when to clear her head.maybe you will find some guidance there.can't hurt to try" Letty pointed out.
" thanks Julia" Dom said and turned and left
"why was he thanking you" Letty asked confused
" because I knew that he wanted to do everything that we told him...he saw what was happening and he didn't want to believe it.so when we dropped it all in his lap.he finally made himself realise everything that he had been seeing was the truth.we need to help him" I told her
" okay.but how?" Letty asked
" first we should help Vince with his addiction to pain killers.and alcohol" I pointed out to her
" sounds like a good place to start" Letty said and walked over to where Vince was working under a car
"Everyone has a past" I muttered
" VINCE" She screamed
" yea what."he asked as he slowly wheeled himself from out from under the car
" we need to speak you about something" I told him
" sure what do you need?" he asked
" I want to make a bet with you" I started I knew this was the only way he would do anything
" okay what are we betting or and what are the stakes?" he asked
" I'm betting that you can't go without a pain pill or drink for 6 weeks" I told him
" your right.you would win.so why would I want to play?" he asked
" for me" I told him.I knew he liked me."and I could give you anything you wanted"
" Julia.why are you doing this?" he asked
" because I don't like being around people that are weak.and you are weak" I said slowly bullying him like I did Dom into agreeing
" I'm not weak" he said and flexed his muscles
" you are your addicted.and addiction is weakness" I pointed out
" so?" he said not understanding
" you lying when you say that your not weak.because you are" I bullied him again
" your right.so what's this bet about?" he asked finally giving in
" want me to explain it to you" I asked him
" yes" he said and in looked over to Letty and gave her a thumbs up sign.
" okay it goes as follows.you have to lay off the drugs (any kind) and the drinks (any alcohol types) for 6 weeks if you do so.then you can have me anyway you want.if you break the bet and get caught I get you car.and you as my slave for 6 weeks" I told him knowing that he would agree
" you would do anything for me?" he asked
" pretty much.but then again in know that your going to fail so I might has well claim my prize now" I tortured him
" no.you won't.when does this bet start?" he asked
" right now.no drinks at the parties nothing.you can have your skanks.not drugs of any kind" I told him
" can I get advance I want to know if I should waste me time" he said
" I could give you a list of people to call that can vouch for how could I am" I told him knowing this would upset him
" fine" he said and shoved out his hand
" you seriously want that list?" I asked him
" no.we shake on the deal" he said and offered his hand again
" fine" I said and shook his hand
" 6 weeks right. no problem" he said and turned around and when back to work underneath the car he was under originally
" wow" Letty said when she came to stand beside me
" yep" I said
" you would do that for Dom?" she asked
" I'm doing what for Dom?" I asked
" get him to give up drugs because he wants you" Letty pointed out
" I'm not doing it for Dom..well I am a little but still it's also for Vince and myself" I told her
" what do you get out of this deal??' she asked
" I know that I can trust him.that he's not addicted to anything and he's stable" I told her
" your an amazing person..what else are you planning for today?" she asked
" you think I planned this" I asked her
"well if you didn't you have major talent for good timing" she said
" well I must have good timing them.because I didn't plan anything.I kinda like Vince. Dom's cute.but no offence. I don't trust him" I told her
" yea well he used to be trust worthy" Letty said with a sad smile
" yea.when were done with him...he'll be better then new" I told her and patted her shoulder
" I'm sorry" she said
"about what?" I asked her
" everything.the way I treated you.everything" she said
" yea well.if things were reverse I would have done the same things. so don't worry about it.after all you did save my life." I pointed out to her
" yea.you owe me girl" she said with a smile
" well if I give you the old Dom back.can we call it even?" I asked her
" yes.what are we going to do about the Mia and Brian situation..they deserve to be together" Letty said
" they have a date" I told her
" they do?" she asked confused
" yes for tonight" I told her
" since when?" she asked still looking confused " what did you do girl?"
" I told them to meet me at this nice restaurant and have a quiet dinner with me.hehe only I'm not going to show up" I told her
" your bad girl.and I love it" she said with a sly smile
" yea well.I wasn't planning on letting Dom give permission because hell would freeze over before he would" I told her
" it's sad..but very true" she agreed
" well let's not worry about it.and you better not mention this to her" I told her
" my lips are sealed" she said and made a zippering action over her lips
" okay.then I have to get Val and Leon together and I have accomplished everything that I original set out to do" I said to her retreating back
" I don't think you need help with that one" Letty called over her shoulder
" and why's that" I asked her
" because if I'm not mistaken Leon invited her out to dinner tonight this morning" Letty dished
" so that's what all the screaming was about this morning.I wondered" I told her and chuckled
" come on girl.let's get back to work...we wouldn't want to disappoint Dom." Letty said and pulled on my arm and then we set back to work.
" Julie.get back here" Dom called
" I ain't going to no doctor. you know what they do?" I asked him
