Chapter 8
Trish is waiting in the backyard while everyone waits for Leon; and for Mia to finish dinner.
She (Trish) is sitting on top of the picnic table looking up at the stars. She takes a picture out of her pocket. It is an old, worn and faded picture. She lies down on the table, and takes a deep breath.
Trish starts to speak: "Hi Mom! I sure miss you! I am finally here in LA. I'm with Dommy and Mia. Mia has a boyfriend named Brian, and Dommy's friend Leon all live here to. There is also a guy named Jesse, but he's in New York for some doctor thing for his legs, so he can walk. Brian doesn't talk to me much; I don't think he likes me.
But Dommy, Mia and Leon have been taking really good care of me mom. I'm off the drugs. I haven't had any since I got to the Toretto's. I'm not exactly sure how long it's been though, I have been pretty sick. I feel as if I were run over by a Mack truck, and left as road pizza.
Leon stayed with me Mom. He took care of me the whole time I was coming off of the shit. Man, mom it was nasty. This poor guy doesn't even know me an he's been cleaning up after me for God knows how many days, holding my hair back when I'm puking, being there to listen to me ramble, he rubs my back and legs when the pain gets so back I am in tears. I didn't shower for days I was so sick. I reeked!! Mom, I am so embarrassed that Leon had to take care of me and smelled me when I was that stinky.
Mom I had the nightmare again. I had to tell Leon what Steve did. I feel so dirty mom. I know Leon thinks I must be a skank, used up little slut, just like Johnny use to tell me, and everyone else around. He said he wouldn't tell Dom, but that I had to. I am scared mom, what if Dom asks me to leave? I am just starting to feel save here, and like I may be able to get it together. Dom loves me, and I know that, but I cant take him looking at me like I'm slime, or worse yet with pity.
I haven't shown him the letter to Vince and him yet. I don't want him to feel bad. I am surprise Mia didn't find it when she went through my stuff. I'll show him soon mom. I promise.
I am comfortable here mom. I feel safe, and like I can relax for the first time since you died. I just hope it doesn't end.
Damn it mom, I miss you so much. I want to tell Dom everything mom, but I am scared. I am afraid he wont love me anymore, I am afraid he will hate me and then I will be all alone again.
I've been a friggin bitch mom. To all of them. I wont let them close, because I am so afraid they are going to hate me when everything comes out.
Mom, when I have talked to you before, and asked you questions, you gave me your sign. You let me know you were there and listening tome. Mom, are you here now?"
Just then a whirl wind blows up next to the picnic table, it was a small little wind, that gently caressed Trish's face. She smiles.
"Hi mom, so, do you think I should tell them mom? Can I trust them?"
again, a small whirl wind flairs.
Trish is crying now. "Ok mom, I'll tell them. I'll talk to Dom tonight. I love you mom, and I miss you so much. I am so sorry I have disappointed you mom. I am so sorry. but I wont this time mom, I promise I'll tell Dom tonight, well I will start to tell him tonight. Thanks for helping. I love you, bye mom.
Trish continues to cry softly. as Dom steps out of the garage, and slowly walks over to her on the picnic table. Startled she looks up and begins to cry harder, burying her face in here hands. Dom gently takes her into his arms and cuddles her to him.
"Peanut, I know your facing some big demons, but we are in this together from now on. You don't have to face them alone. You are home now, and you are staying here. We will work all of it out together. I promise. I love you Peanut."
Neither of them see Leon smile and turn away from them and head back into the house.
