Chapter 16

"Ah" Vince groaned in pain. He'd open his eyes then shut them. The blood was all over him, Mia, Brian and Gina. Dom was next to him telling him he'd be all right. When the helicopter arrived Brian looked over at Dom. They all stood up and watched as Vince was put inside. Gina wanted to go with them but she couldn't. There wasn't enough room in the helicopter. Brian again looked over at Dom. Gina turned to see her brother running towards Leon's car. Mia for a moment stared at her then to Brian. When Dom yelled for her, she began walking towards the car. Before reaching the car she looked over her shoulder. The car sped off leaving Gina and Brian standing alone out in the middle of nowhere.

Gina turned to Brian with a smile on her face and said, "You knew it was true the entire time."

He swallowed hard and nodded his head. "I needed you to get to Tran. I didn't want to use Dom and them but that was the only way."

"You know what," she said screaming, "fuck you Brian!"

Brian stood there staring at her. She threw her hands up in the air and began yelling. When she turned to him and started walking towards him, he didn't try to move.

Gina stalked over to Brian and hit him so hard he fell on his ass. She stood over him with fist clinched. He looked up at her with angered filled eyes but did nothing.

"Fuck!" She yelled again before extending her hand and helping him up.

~~~~~~

Dom heard the car pull up in front of the house. He picked up the shotgun and walked up the drive way. Brian jumped out the car and pulled out his gun.

"Brian!" Gina yelled.

She looked over at Dom and watched as he and Brian yelled at one another.

"You are the fucking cops Brian," he said then focused on Gina, "and you're a fucking cop."

Mia had run out the house and was on the porch yelling at Dom to stop it.

"Get back in the house!" Dom yelled at her.

"I have to find Jesse before they do." He yelled at Brian.

"Where's Letty and Leon?" Brian demanded

"They're long gone." Dom answered.

They turned when Jesse pulled up and got out his car.

"Dom, I'm so sorry," he said while walking around the front of his car.

Gina walked over and said, "Calm down Jesse we need to get you out of sight."

Jesse was shaking with fear. He wasn't afraid of Dom he was more upset about letting his team down.

"Why'd you do it?" Dom yelled as he started walking towards Jesse and Gina.

He stopped when he heard motorcycles coming down the street. He yelled at Jesse as Tran and company came into sight. As the bullets flew out the gun Gina grabbed Jesse and tried to pull him down with her. Dom flew to the ground and crawled towards them. When Gina finally pulled Jesse down it was too late.

"Oh my God Jesse!" she screamed while holding him in her arms.

Dom made his way to them followed by Mia. "Jesse?!" he yelled before looking up at Gina.

"Jesse!" Mia screamed before she pulled out her cell phone and called 911. Brian stood above Jesse's body and shut his eyes. He shook his head and opened them again. Dom stood up and ran towards the black mustang in the driveway. Brian looked once again down at Jesse then rushed to his car.

~~~~~~

Mia and Gina sat in the hospital waiting room praying for good news. Mia had found out that this was the same place that Vince was taken to. She walked over and knelt down in front of Gina.

"Vince's here," she said with tears in her eyes.

Gina looked at her sister and held back her tears. She put a hand on Mia's hand and leaned closer to her. The two sister's hugged before the nurse interrupted them.

"Miss Toretto?"

"Yes," both girls said at the same time.

"Uh..the doctor will be out shortly to tell you about your friend."

"Thank you" Mia said before sitting next to Gina.

"He's out of surgery."

Gina looked over at Mia and then realized she was talking about Vince.

"He's going to be ok," Mia told Gina.

~~~~~

When nightfall came Mia and Gina were shown to Jesse's room. The doctor explained that his condition was serious and it was too early to tell if he was going to make it.

Gina felt guilty as she looked upon her friend lying in the bed fighting for his life. After a while she left Mia to stay with Jesse and went to see Vince. She stood at his door and looked inside. He was sleeping, he looked so peaceful. Making sure she didn't wake him she walked in and made her way to the side of his bed. Tears filled her eyes as she thought of the pain she caused. She placed her hand on his and leaned over to kiss his forehead.

"I never meant to hurt you. I hope you can forgive me," she said before standing up straight and moving her hand from his.

As she turned to leave she saw Dom staring at her.

"Haven't you done enough?" He yelled, causing Vince to open his eyes.

"I didn't do this. You did this," she told him. "You choose to put your family in danger and for what Dom? Money?"

Dom walked up to stand in front of her. "You're a cop Gina."

She shook her head and stepped away from him. "So that makes it ok that you're a fucking thief?"

When Mia walked in the room she had a bag in her hand.

"What that's?" Gina asked.

"Where leaving," Dom replied in a stern tone as if to dare her to try and stop him.

"You can't do this. Vince needs to rest and what about Jesse?"

Dom looked over at Gina and laughed before saying, "So now you care if anyone gets hurt. Now you give a damn what happens to your family. It's too late Gina."

"What? I don't care about my family. Dom you were the one that left. We fucking needed you and you went to prison. Momma needed you and you weren't there. She died and Mia and I were left to deal with it...Where were you brother?"

Dom clinched his fist tight and felt his body fill with anger. How could she tell him that he wasn't there that he'd not felt the pain of their mother's death. He walked over and without a word he slapped Gina across her cheek.

"Dom!" Mia yelled.

"Help V up and get ready to move him we're leaving." He said while staring down at Gina.

Vince with Mia's help sat up in bed. He was going in and out of conciseness. Whatever happening in the room seemed like a dream. The yelling assured him he wasn't.

After Mia got Vince out of bed, Dom walked over and put and arm around his friends waist for support.

Gina stood up and knew there was nothing for her to do. As the door shut to the room, tears fell down her face. Everyone she loved was gone.
