Summary: Letty's past comes back to haunt her.

Mia watched as Letty looked for something to wear. The girls had been best friends since they were ten years old, but they were different as night and day in more ways than one.

"How about this?" Letty asked holding up a jean skirt. Mia smiled brightly and nodded.

"Now you can wear this for a top." Mia said handing Letty a bag.

"What's this?" Letty asked raising an eyebrow.

"Just somethin' for my best friend." Mia answered as she began to search for a pair of shoes for Letty. Letty sat on her bed and opened the bag.

"Mia it's perfect!" Letty exclaimed holding up the tank top. It was a dark brown leather tank top that tied up the sides.

"And so are these shoes." Mia said happily holding up knee high boots.

"What the hell happened!" Dom yelled walking into his bedroom. There were clothes and makeup everywhere, he should have expected it. This happened every night there was a race or party. In the middle of the mess sat the two villains.

"What?" Mia and Letty asked at once.

"Forget it. Ready or what?" He asked

"Soon, now stop bugging the shit out of us." Letty said shoving him out of the room, shutting and locking the door.

"Hey! It's my room too." He yelled at Letty.

"We'll be out in five." She yelled back. Dom grumbled as he walked downstairs and got the guys up and ready to leave. Five minutes later to her word Letty walked down the stairs with Mia in tow.

"Lookin' hot babe." Vince said to both girls. They both ignored him and walked outside to Letty's car. Letty stopped and turned to Dom who was watching her ass.

"Come on Papi, let's get going." She said mockingly. Dom glared at her and got into his car.

Ten minutes later they pulled up to the meeting place of the racers. Dom was the first out of his car and was right away covered with girls, he just smiled and talked to them. Letty sat in her car with Mia and watched this for a second, she was about ready to jump out of her car and beat the girls when she realized something.

"It never works." She whispered, Mia turned to her concerned.

"What chica?" Mia asked

"I go and chase the sluts away everytime but all that happens is me lookin' like a major bitch." She whispered, Mia didn't say anything because she knew it was true. Nothing else was said as the girls got out of the car and walked up to the guys. Mia waited and watched Letty to see what she would do. Dom saw Letty coming toward him and the girl he was closely talking to, she stopped right in front of them and did nothing.

"Letty." The girl said smirking. Letty just rolled her eyes and walked to Jesse and Leon to talk to them. Dom looked at Mia and she just shrugged.

"Alright let's get this started!" Hector said before Dom could say anything. Quickly it was everything was decided and everyone started for their cars, Charlotte walked up to Dom and smiled up at him. She was new to L.A. her and her brother Eric moved there a month before and she had been after Dom from the beginning. What bothered Letty was the fact that Dom was stopping her.

"Hey Dom, you wanna give me a ride? Eric drove me here and he already left." She lied, Dom smiled down at her and said sure. Letty saw this and seethed with anger, Mia lightly touched her arm.

"Breath chica, breath." She whispered, Letty nodded and they got into Letty's car.

"Let's just do this race, kay?" Mia asked, Letty only nodded. The rest of the ride was done in silence as they followed everyone else to the racing spot that was chosen. Letty parked and she got out with Mia and sat on the car. Not even ten minutes later everyone was surrounding Dom as they congratulated him on his win. Letty stayed where she was, she wanted to see if Dom would notice her missing. He didn't. Charlotte was by his side.

"Cops! We got cops!" Hector and Leon yelled, Letty watched as Vince shoved Mia into his car, and Charlotte got into Dom's. For a minute she didn't move, finally she took her time and got into her car and left the scene. Ten minutes later she was in the clear and she started home, but all of the sudden she heard someone telling her to pull over. Looking in her review mirror she saw a cop car, cursing she pulled over and waited.

"Letitica Rameriz?" The cop asked, I nodded and he asked me to follow him. She knew what this was about, shit Mia is going to kill me Letty thought.

"Where are they?" Mia yelled at the three boys in front of her. It was six in the morning. They all shrugged and looked at her a little afraid. As if on cue Dom stumbled through the front door drunk and smelling of sex, he just stared at them as they stared at the front door.

"Where is she?" Vince finally asked, Mia put it together before anyone else.

"Again Dom!"

"Where's who? And again what?" Dom asked

"Where's Letty man?" Leon asked.

"She didn't come home with you guys?" Dom asked confused.

"You promised her man." Jesse said quietly, he might be the one with A.D.D. but he was observant. No one said anything. After a few minutes Letty came through the door and everyone stared at her, she was pale with red eyes.

"What?" She asked everyone. She looked at Mia to Jesse to Dom and then back to Mia. Mia looked at the ground sad for her best friend, slowly Letty looked at Dom and she knew. He looked up at her and she just stared at him. No one moved.

"What is it about me that's not good enough for you?" She asked quietly, everyone was in shock, usually she was yelling and hitting him by now.

"I mean am I not pretty enough? Smart enough? Am I that bad in bed? Or am I boring?. . . Or is it all of that?" Letty asked, Dom's mouth wouldn't work. Letty just nodded and closed her eyes for a minute before going upstairs. Mia was right after her.

"Where were you girl?" Mia asked. Letty sat on the bathroom floor and stared into space.

"Let?" Mia asked

"Police station." Letty answered.

"What?" Mia asked panicking.

"Police station. . ." Letty answered again. Mia didn't asked anything else, she just held her best friend as she cried.
