The Beginning of the End
"Hey Alchy," Johnny said as he wlaked into the kitchen.
"Come on ! That was like six months ago!" I said shaking my head as Mia laughed, It was a Sunday , and we were all getting together for dinner.
"I've seen those bottles under your bed girl," HE said making me chuckle. Spinning around I pointed the wooden spoon I was tossing salad with at him.
"You do realize I'm making your food right?" I sad making Letty laugh.
"Ouch," She said shaking her head as she arranged the chicken in a bowl to take out.
"I know when to shut up," he said walking out back to joint the rest of the boys.
"That boy loves you to death Lad ," Mia said bumping me with her hip.
"HE does not," I sad rolling my eyes, and smiling. Over the past few months we had gotten really close, almost as close, as me and V. If the two groups ever split up I would be heart broken, and Dom, and Johnny would hate each other. Neither of them trusted easily, and they had both become pretty close. Lance, and April rarely came around outside of races, but their presence wasn't missed. Lance was still a slimy snake who was not used to being turned down, but he hadn't caught me alone again. I was starting to wonder if Jesse knew there was something going on because he had been paying etra attention to me lately.
"Princess at one o'clock," Letty murmured a few moments later as April walked into the back yard.
"Oh yea," Mia said blowing the hair out of her face, and rolling her eyes as she walked outside with the salad bowl I had handed her.
"There's only one room for a princess , and I think its Mia," I said laughing as watched her walk towards the guys taking everyone's attention from April.
"I'm just waiting for the sparks to fly cause she don't' know about Mia," Letty said as we walked out the door.
"No she doesn't," I said remembering the last fight Mia had got in. Even thought Mia didn't seem like it all the time, she was a Toretto through, and through. The last girl she'd fought, ended up with a broken nose for bad mouthing her Mother who had died when they were younger. She had a wild streak to her, sometimes she could be almost as bad as Letty! And that was saying a lot.
"Thank you DOM," I said kissing his head as I sat down to eat. Smiling he shook his head as I went to sit next to in between V, and Jesse. I think Sundays were really my favorite time with the team. That was when we were the most like family.
"Hey V baby, what ya looking at?" I said following his gaze to Mia. I felt so bad for V, he had liked Mia for as long as I can remember, and she just did not like him in that way at all. Sometimes he would come into my room at night, so broken hearted over the way she had blew him off.
"Huh?" He said turning to face me.
"I said what ya looking at," I whispered smirling.
" Shut up Lad, you know what I'm looking at," He said turning away, and slightly blushing.
"V, I don't understand why," shaking my head I smiled biting my tongue. I would say nothing at all, before I would hurt his feelings.
"What?" He said turning to face me.
"I don't understand why y'all haven't hooked up yet, you are such an awesome guy."
"Awwwh thanks Lad," He said wrapping his arm around me, and giving me a hug. I felt so bad after I met Jesse. I knew everyone thought that me, and V would hook up when I was old enough, but once I met Jesse that was it. I knew V had always thought Mia was attractive, but it had gotten so much worse after I started dating. Sometimes I wondered if V had liked me that way, and what would have happened if he had said something. I get like that at times, wondering about me, and V, he was my best friend, but at the same time he was so much more. It was one of those things you push into the back of your mind, and never let see the light of day.
"Earth to Lad," Dom said making me jump.
"What?"
"I asked if you would say grace,"
"Oh, sorry," I sad blushing. " Dear God thank you for this time to be together as a family, and just relax, thak you for this food, and thanks for the win last night it was so awesome! I had just put that new racing clutch in, and I…."
"Ok, thanks," Dom said cutting me off." I could ramble on for days if you let me, it was one of the many things, me and Jess had in common.
"That was good babe," He said kissing me as he reached for the barbecue chicken.
"Thanks," I said trying not to laugh as V made faces at us.
Later that night.
"Hey Mia, can I ask you a question?" I said as we washed dishes that night. It was a routine, we always did the dishes together, we had some of our most serious conversations at times like these.
"Yea Lad, sup?"
"Why won't you give Vince a chance?" She could tell I was serious because I had used his first name.
"Lad, There is more than one reason, but you know I don't date my brothers friend's."
"Mi, this is Vince, he's more than just your brothers friend, you've known him since he was like ten!"
"Lad… I think this is one subject you should leave alone, cause you don't know the whole situation."
"Why? I mean did he do something to you? Cause I'll kill him," I said setting down the towel ,and turning to face her.
She froze and turned to me her hands still emerged in the soapy water.
"The real reason I don't date V is because I think his heart already belongs to someone, and I know he could never love me the way he loves them." I had my mouth open to ask who when I realized exactly who she was talking about.
"Mi, you're wrong," I said turning away , and picking the towel back up as we went back into out routine.
"It's a chance I'm not willing to take," She said shrugging. " So are you working after school tomorrow?" she said changing the subject.
"Yea, Dom's been on me about not working my hours lately." " I swear he thinks his my daddy."
"You, and me both, but I love it when you work cause then I'm not all alone."
"Awhhh Mia," I said hugging her , and rocking side to side.
"What's going on in here?" Dom said as he walked to the fridge to get a drink.
" We're plotting to kill you," She said with a smile.
"Oh, the usual then," he said going back into the living room. The Torettos had a strange way of showing it sometimes, but they truly loved each other.
The next day
"Hey girl, how you living," I said as I walked in to the store that day after School.
"Hey Le,,,, dang you sound like your sister!" Mia said laughing.
"Please don't' say that," I said rolling my eyes, as I tossed my book bad behind the counter, and hopped over .
"I know y'all hate to admit it, but you are so alike. "
"Yea, just like you and Dom?"
"Now we are nothing alike."
"Right," I said smiling . Our heads popped up as we heard the roar of motorcycle.
"Oh look here comes the rest of the gang!" I said with mock excitement.
"Yea, I aint to found of the other two myself."
We both put small smiles on our face as the three Trans walked in all dressed in black, except for Lance, who wore skin tight snake skin pants.
"How's it going?" Johnny asked sitting at the bar.
"Its going, I just got out of school so the world aint that sunny right now."
"Awwh poor baby," April said making me smirk. We had a love hate relationship. I loved to hate her, really we had come to an understanding, but we baited each other every chance we got.
"Yea, its so hard to be in demand," I said smiling.
"I'm sure it is," Lance said smiling at me. Rolling my eyes I headed toward the back.
"I'm gonna get us another case of pop Mi, I'll be back in a second.
"Aight girl," she said flipping through a magazine she had brought.
I was bent over when the arms wrapped around my waist.
" I finally got you alone," Lance said.
"Let go off me Lance," I said trying to keep calm. I wasn't used to anyone touching me so freely. It made me realize how much I really depended on my boys!
"Why, you know you like it," he said pulling me up against him. Growling I completely lost my cool stomping on his foot.
"I said get the hell off me," I said as he laughed.
"Steel toes babe."
The more I wriggled the tighter he held until it felt like I could barley breathe. My chest was heaving, and my ribs were hurting as I stood their limply in his arms. The minute I felt him relax I elbowed him in the ribs, shoving him as he jumped back, and running for the door. He lunged, but he wasn't quick enough. Mia looked up as I ran out with no pop, but instead of stopping to talk to her I kept running out of the store, and down the street. I knew that it was the beginning of the end. I could hear Mia yelling for, Dom, and I knew they would both be rushing out to watch me run down the street. I was at the end of the street when I heard Dom call my name, but I never stopped, there was only one person I wanted to see.
"Hey Alchy," Johnny said as he wlaked into the kitchen.
