Chapter 13
Dom's Pov
"What did you just say?"
"It's true Dom, Letty never stopped loving you. She can't stop. We were never really together. She wanted to think she could be with someone else but you, but she couldn't. She loves you man."
"Vince what are you trying to say."
"We were never together Dom. The one time we tried, it was too weird. For both of us. We are more like brother and sister, you know. And she is in love with you, and you are my best friend. We stayed down there, because she needed time to think, and I needed time to heal. So we came home, because she is planning to tell you she is in love with you, and I want to be home with my family."
"Holy shit. Vince, I haven't been with anyone else since you guys left. I missed you both, and I couldn't stand in the way of either of you being happy. I have missed Letty like mad. I still love her and want her to. I never did nothing or called because I didn't want to hurt you man."
Vince laughed and laughed.
"What a bunch of non communicating fucks we are."
Dom laughs to and says.
"Trish would say we need to talk, that is for sure. oh fuck. How the fuck do I tell her all of this."
"I don't know Dom. I know I need to figure out how to deal with my feelings about her, but I don't know how."
" Welcome to the new world in the Toretto house Vince. I can give you the name of a great counselor who can help."
"I don't know Dom."
"I do. And you will go."
" Okay brother, I guess I don't have much of a choice do I."
"Nope." I told him with a smile.
"Now, what the fuck is going on with my sister and Leon." Vince asked me. I just laughed and told him to sit back and watch the next Dom and Letty love story.
Vince just groaned.
"God please, help me. They don't fight like you two always did, do they?"
I just smiled at him and said: "not yet."
Vince looked like he was going to be sick.
"You know since you and Letty aren't together anymore, there has to be some re-arranging of some rooms here at the house. Not to mention, some rules that have to be set and followed."
Vince immediately gets defensive, and Dom can see it.
"What fucking rules."
"Trish is in my custody Vince. You weren't here, and if I had called you and told you she was here, she would have been gone before you got here. There is some bad feelings on both of your parts, and you will both have to work through that shit, but it ain't going to disrupt this house and those who live here every day all day long."
"So what are you saying Dom."
"That as soon as Trish gets home, we are all going to sit down and hammer all of this shit out. Together as a family. Like it or not. And if you don't, Trish is under age and in my care, she stays no matter what. She is family Vince. Period."
Leon walks out of the house just in time to hear what Dom has said to Vince.
"Its almost time to pick Trish up."
"Yeah, okay. Vince, when are you going to tell Trish about, well that night?"
"He's not Dom." Leon said.
"What the." Dom and Vince both say at the same time.
"No one is telling Trish shit, until Dom or I talk to her counselor and make sure that she can handle it. It may be that you have to talk to her with Dianna (her counselor) there. She is the professional and Trish trusts her. End of story."
"He's right Vince, I wasn't thinking about how this could affect Trish. She has been through a lot, and there is a lot you need to know, but it isn't happening over night. You have to agree to do what is best for Trish if you want to live here, and you have to agree that Dianna and I are the ones who the judge trusted to make those choices for Trish until she is 18. Can you live with that?"
"Guess I have to." Vince said.
"Yeah you do Vince. Like it or not. There is a lot you are going to have to deal with, and one of those things being me if you hurt her man. I love Trish and I won't let you or anyone else ever hurt her again. Don't fucking piss her off either. Like it or not, she is just like you and your quick as temper, and living with both of you is going to be hell with you at each others throats all the time." Leon tells Vince angrily.
"Leon, man we have been friends for a long time, and I was out of line getting in your face about Trish and you, but remember I am her brother." Vince tells Leon.
"No man, you ain't. You gave that up when you walked away from her. If you want it back, earn it. I have earned her trust and love, now you have to and believe it ain't easy to do."
Dom laughs and adds: "You ain't jokin' there that's for sure brother. Vince, you and Trish have both been through a lot, and we all have a lot we are going to have to go through, together. Both of you will chill. Leon, just like I told Vince, I am Trish's guardian. I will be the one making the choices for now. Period. Now, I am going to go get Trish and we are all going to set some ground rules."
Dom walks into the house and gets his keys, and heads for the front door. "Mia, I am going to get Trish, I'll be right back."
"Okay Dom." She shouts from upstairs. "What are we doing for dinner?"
"Order pizza and have it delivered. Vince, Trish and I have to talk when we get back, and it may turn into a family meeting, so will you get it all together for me? There is money on my dresser."
"Sure Dom, no problem. Love ya."
"Love you to Mi."
Dom opens the front door, and see Letty sitting on the front porch smoking a cigarette.
"Started smoking again huh."
Letty gives him a small smile. "Stress, life, just got to me, and I started again. I am only smoking a few a day though. Trying to quit again."
"Hmmmmmmmmm." He says with that raised eyebrow look.
"Dom, I know there is a lot going on, but as soon as you have the time, I really need to talk to you alone. Please."
"Okay Let. I'll make the time tonight, somehow. Does that work for you?"
"Yeah Dom, thanks." Letty smiles at him.
"No problem Let. I am glad your home. I missed you."
Letty gets up off the step and walks up to Dom. Reaching up to give him a hug, kisses him on the cheek, and she tells him: "I missed you to. A lot."
Dom hugs her back and kisses her on the forehead. "I got to go get Trish, I am sorry, but I promise we will talk later k?"
"ok." She says with a smile.
Dom gets into his car and looks up on the porch. Letty. Damn I still love her to.
