"Can I talk to you for a minute Jess?" I asked after work .
"Sure babe," he said taking my hand as we walked to our room. As soon as the door closed I spun around.
"What the hell is going on?"
"What do you mean?" he asked genuinely confused.
"Where's the money coming from Jesse?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest . My heart dropped to my feet as his face began to pale. My husband just might be in over his head. It was weird to think that …. My husband.
"Ladie-"
"Don't Ladie me Jesse!" I said shaking my head from side to side like I always did when I was mad.
"I'll show you tonight, but you'll have to change," He said slowly walking over to the closet, and
handing me a pile of black clothes. Fuming I snatched them away, and began to change. It was a
'little past midnight when the team, minus Mia pulled on to the side of a deserted stretch of
highway off. I was silent as we all parked, and got out. I was waiting for someone to turn around,
around the side of a tall structure, and uncovered four sleek, black Honda Civics. I hadn't even
known they owned these cars, where was the money coming from?
"Jesse, you got the left side… Ladie, no mater what happens you keep your mouth shut until its all over."
"What ever," I said blowing my hair away from my face, and stepping into the car. : What the hell
have I gotten myself in to?: I wondered.
"That girl has had an attitude problem for the past week," Dom said practically growling at me.
"She knew he was lying to her, hell I'd be pissed if my husband was lying to me too," She said
shrugging nonchalantly. Although she pretended to be indifferent I knew she was really worried . I
had been acting out of character, snapping at everyone, giving Dom attitude, I had even hurt V's
feelings. Of all the things that had ran through my mind, nothing could have prepared me for
what actually happened. I screamed as the guys surrounded the truck, afraid we would wreck.
"Don't worry , this is what's supposed to happen," Jesse said in an attempt to calm me. More
pissed than ever I turned away silently praying that everyone would be all right.
MY stomach churned as Vince secured the truck, and Jesse pulled under it.
:Think of the beginning of the movie, when they show the first high jacking. :
As we pulled up in front of the house that morning I rushed from the car, and retched on the side
of the house. I knew the team wasn't a group angels, and they bent the law, but this was too
much . Just thinking about all of the things that could have happened to them had made me sick.
"Come get her Jess," V said as he held my hair away from my face.
"Take care of my sister man," Letty said hesitating, as she , and Dom walked in. She knew I was pissed, and she wasn't sure if she should stick around, and take the tongue lashing, or let Jess handle it.
"I've got here," He said walking over, and taking V's place.
"I'm sorry Lad," He whispered kissing the top off my head as he left.
"Are you ok?" He asked as I wiped the back of my hand across my mouth, and stood straight.
"How could you do this?" " I could expect something like this from the rest of them, but you ?"
"I'm doing it for us," he said wrapping his arms around my waist supporting me.
"Don't' say that shit!" I said pulling away. Swaying I grabbed on to the door frame on the porch
"I never asked for any of this Jesse!" " Not the clothes, the DVD, the furniture, any of it! " All I ever
needed was you ." "Is this how you got my ring?" I asked horrified as I twisted the gold band that
seemed to be burning my skin.
"No Lad, I've been saving for that as long as I can remember.
"You can not keep doing this!" I said lowering my voice, because I knew the rest of the guys were
all near the window listening.
"Its not like I can just stop now."
"Why not?"
"Dom needs me ," He said making me scream in frustration as I walked into the house kicking
the door open.
"I'm your wife Jesse, does that count for anything?" I said starting to cry as I ran up the stairs.
"Where are you going?" he asked following me as I passed right by our room.
"I don't even want to look at any of you right now" I said before I slipped into Mia's room. When I
was younger I always remember sleeping with Mia, or Letty when I was scared. They had always
been my protectors. Silently I slipped in beside her thinking she was sleep.
"You ,and Jesse have a fight?" she mumbled.
"I know Mia,' I said making her sit up. " Was no one going to fucking tell me?"
"V and Jess wanted to , but they knew you would freak out. "
"You're damn right I am !" " Do you know how risky this is!"
"I know I know, I said the same thing, but you can't tell them anything when they get like this."
"I'm not going to just sit around, and wait for someone to get hurt Mi," I said lying down as I began
to feel dizzy.
"It'll be ok, we'll talk to them in the morning, just rest." She said noticing my facial expression.
Curling into a ball, I turned my back to her. This was the first time in four years that me , and
Jesse had slept apart . I missed him already.
"Sure babe," he said taking my hand as we walked to our room. As soon as the door closed I spun around.
"What the hell is going on?"
"What do you mean?" he asked genuinely confused.
