I Want to be Fast and Furious
Chapter 2
Letty slept soundly beside Dom when suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello?" she sleepily answered as she picked up the phone from the nightstand.
"Letty? It's Brian. Mia had gotten up to go get a drink of water and checked up on Cassie on her way back upstairs and saw she wasn't there. Is she over at your place?" he worriedly questioned.
"I don't know, but come over anyways alright?" And with that she hung up the phone. She lightly shook Dom and he woke up.
"What is it?" he grunted.
"Your daughter's at it again.and she took Mia's kid with her too." Letty explained as she tried to get back to sleep.
"Are Brian and Mia coming over?"
"Uh huh."
Dom groaned as he sat up in bed. Looking over at the clock he saw it was still way early in the morning. Putting on a pair of shorts and a white tank top he head to the bathroom and washed his face. Letty, unable to get back to sleep, got up and did the same also. She had been wearing a black spaghetti strap shirt and pajama pants. The two walked down the stairs at the sound of knocking on their door. They welcomed Brian and Mia inside and explained what was going on.

Tina got out of her car and was quickly greeted by Cassie.
"You did it! You won!" she cheered as other people around came to congratulate her, one of them being Calvin, who handed her her winnings.
"I got to hand it to you, Toretto's girl.racing's in your blood." Just as he said that the Asian guy came rushing up to them as he pushed people aside and he looked really pissed.
"Hey man, it's not fair she won! Girls aren't supposed to be racing! Just because you're Dom's kid doesn't mean no shit!" he cursed and upon hearing this insult Tina became very infuriated.
"You better back up that fucked up mouth of yours before I dislocate it." Tina threatened as she clenched and unclenched her fists. Cassie stepped out in front of her.
"Tina calm down, just ignore whatever he says alright? You won fair and square. He's just being a sore loser. Come on let's go." Tina wanted so badly to beat him up for insulting her family name but listened to her cousin and decided to leave. Calvin finished talking with the Asian guy, explaining things and cooling him down. The oriental left with a still angered face as Calvin approached Tina before she got into her car.
"Hey, I'm sorry about that. It's just you know about the issue with girls racing." Calvin apologized.
"No, don't be sorry it isn't your fault. I know about that screwed up issue but some guys still haven't gotten it through their heads. It's all right though, as long as I'm around I'll be racing and you can count on that. I'm not a Toretto for nothing." Calvin smiled at Tina's statement.
"Well congratulations on your win again, and I'll see you hopefully next time." The two did their little handshake and Tina got into her car and rolled down the window.
"Peace out." And she head back home.
"You alright? You seemed really pissed off when that guy said that thing about you." Commented Cassie as her hair blew in the wind. They had the windows down since it was pretty cool outside.
"Yeah, actually that wasn't the first time. Guys are always looking down on girl racers thinking we're at a lower level than they are. But who cares, as long as I can race that's all that matters to me." Tina replied as she comfortably drove with her sunglasses on.
"Hey, do your parents get up this early in the morning?" Asked Cassie.
"No. Why?" Tina replied.
"Because there're lights on in your house, aaannnd." Cassie pointed out as Tina's car approached her home's driveway. "My parents' truck is parked in front of your house." Seeing this Tina couldn't help but exhale heavily.
"Shit." She cursed, parked her car and took off her sunglasses. The two stepped out of the vehicle. They walked up the front steps and into Tina's home and were greeted by all four parents.
Tina took off her sunglasses and rested them on the top of her head. "Hi." Just then Cassie walked out from behind her and into view.
"Mom.Dad." She acknowledged.
"Cassandra O'Conner what were you thinking going out like that?" Mia scolded.
"Aunt Mia it wasn't her fault, I was the one that got her to come with me." Intervened Tina. All four parents still looked all the more displeased.
"We'll talk more when we get home, come on Cassie." Said Brian as he and Mia got up and head for the front door. Letty stood and followed them.
"I'm sorry about all that you guys, it won't happen again." She said as she held the door as Brian, Mia, and Cassie stepped outside.
"Don't worry about it. It's really not the fact that she snuck out but the danger she put herself in. You better keep an eye on Tina there." Mia commented.
"I will." Letty replied as she watched the three get into their truck and drive off and then she closed the door. Tina looked over at her father who gave her the 'one eyebrow lift'. Realizing her cousin had left Tina decided to make a move.
She stretched out her arms, balled her fists, and faked a loud yawn. "I'm tired, I think I'm gonna go get some sleep." And started for the stairs when Letty stepped out in front of her. Without saying a word she pointed to one of the sofas and Tina turned around and took a seat. Letty followed and sat down on another couch's armrest, Dom sat on the it's other armrest. The sofa they were sitting on was across from the one Tina sat in.
"I-" Tina began.
"Three strikes.that was your third time." Letty cut in. "And you brought Cassie with you too."
"Mom Dad I won. That was my third win!" Tina announced. Dom shook his head.
"It's not all about winning but also about your safety. Did you realize how much danger you put yourself into racing like that?" Tina sighed and rolled her eyes.
"You didn't get NOS for your car again did you?" Letty questioned.
"I dunno."
"Answer your mother's question Tina." Added Dom.
"Yeah." Tina mumbled as she looked away from her parents. She could hear her mom sigh.
"Tina, you can't just go on and do things the way you want to like that. Racing is dangerous." Letty explained.
"Yeah but you and dad did it once didn't you? Actually more than once.I've heard stories, I know all about it. You guys were the best there was. So why can't I do what you guys did?" Tina argued. Both Dom and Letty were speechless. Truly they wanted their daughter to feel the rush they had once when they raced but back then they hadn't realized the dangers they put themselves into and neither does Tina. "Well?" asked Tina after the small moment of silence.
"No more racing, it's too dangerous." Dom answered.
"Why? It's not dangerous, I'm here right now aren't I?" Tina disputed as she stood up.
"That's beside the point Tina. We're only doing what we think is best for you, and that is no more racing." Letty replied sternly.
"But? Why! Err.that is so unfair! I was winning out there! Racing is something I like to do, why are you taking that away from me?" shouted the sixteen-year-old brunette.
"I'm not going to say it again Tina, no more racing." Dom firmly repteated.
"Errrr!!" Tina angrily grumbled and stormed upstairs to her room. "What's the point of being a Toretto if you can't race?" she yelled before slamming the door. Dom and Letty remained seated in the same place and position they had been before Tina had left.
"Are you sure that was the best thing to do?" Letty questioned her husband. The idea of taking racing away from her daughter slightly upset her as well. Dom definitely felt the same way.
"For now.yeah." He replied. "You know.she reminds me of you. You and your stubbornness." Dom teased.
"Hey hey.she's more like you too you know. Nothing came between you and racing and I can see that in Tina. She's not going to give up that easily." Letty retorted. "And when something did come between you and racing you'd go on a rage of anger, just like Tina did. Yeah, she's just like you."
Dom gave Letty a fake menacing look and she couldn't help but chuckle. What she said was true! The two turned off the lights and retired to their bedroom to try and get some sleep.
Tina quickly undressed and changed into a red tank top and navy blue shorts before climbing into bed. Looking at the stack of money she held in her left hand as she lay on her right side. She was still angry about what her parents had said. After turning off the lamp on her nightstand she slipped it under her pillow and tried to get some sleep.
