Letty watched from Mia's window as Dom got into a car with Charlotte. Deciding against going out there to make a scene she got into Mia's bed and closed her eyes wishing herself to sleep.

Dom got home hours later to find his three best friends and sister waiting for him in the living room. He smiled at them and dropped his coat on the nearest chair.
"What's up?" Dom asked sitting with them, he knew something was up when no one said anything right away.
"What?" Dom asked again getting irritated.
"Where were you?" Mia asked even though she already knew.
"Out." Was all Dom would say.
"Your hurting her." Mia told her brother talking about Letty.
"We're just friends." Dom told them, they knew he was talking about Charlotte.
"Really?" Mia asked.
"Yes, really."
"Don't look like your just friends to us bro." Vince said speaking for the first time. Dom looked at everyone in the room and realized they were all against him.
"You can't tell me who I can and can't talk to." Dom snapped.
"But you can tell her." Mia said referring to her sleeping best friend upstairs.
"What's this about?" Dom asked leaning forward.
"We're just saying Dom. . .that maybe you'd better cool it with Charlotte, for Letty." Jesse said, Leon nodded in agreement.
"What do you do with her?" Mia asked, Dom's eyes moved over to her.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Dom snapped.
"Ya sleep with her Dom?" Mia yelled.
"What I do with her is none of your business!" Dom yelled.
"Well guess what?" Mia asked her brother, Dom didn't say anything he just stared at her.
"From now on what we do, is none of your business." Mia told him, at first Dom didn't get what she was saying. But all of the sudden realization dawned on him. They were pretty much kicking him out of their family.
"So that's it, your just going to kick me out." Dom asked standing up.
"Until your straighten your ass up." Mia said. Dom looked at everyone in the room and knew they all felt the same way.
"She's different ya know." Dom whispered he didn't know if anyone was listening or not but he continued.
"Charlotte's just different. . .a good different and I like it." He finished, Mia started to cry right then as the other three boys eyes got big and they straightened their backs. Dom slowly turned around to see Letty standing in the stairway. No one moved or said anything, she just stared at them and without a word left back upstairs. Seconds later they heard a door click shut.
"Leave." Mia whispered.
"For now just leave." She told her brother, and with that Dom left the house.
~~~~
Dom went to Charlotte's apartment and knocked on the door, she answered with a smile on her face.
"Dom! What ya doin' here?" She asked
"Can I stay here for a coupla a days?" Dom asked, Charlotte's eyes got concerned and she nodded.
"What happened?" She asked leading him into the apartment.
"They pretty much kicked me out." He answered, plopping down on her couch, she sat next to him.
"Why?"
"I don't want to talk about it right now."
"That's fine." Charlotte said, she turned on the TV and they watched it in silence.
~~~~
Four days later Dom stood in front of his house, he hadn't been back since he'd left for Charlotte's. He didn't even talk to anyone so he didn't know what was going on. Slowly he unlocked to front door and walked in, the lights were off and everything was silent. He stood in the front door for a good five minutes deciding what to do. At Charlotte's he mainly slept on the couch except for the first night he stayed there, when he had sex with her. He was so mad at everyone, at Mia for having power over him, for his best friends for them turning their backs on him. And at Letty for. . .for something that later he realized was nothing. He cheated on his girlfriend for no reason, and that disgusted him.
In that five minutes Dom decided that there was something he needed to do, something he should have done a long time ago. Quickly he walked up the stairs and went to Mia's room, he knew Mia and Letty were home because their cars were there. Getting to Mia's door her heard the two girls talking, wanting to see if they would talk about him Dom listened. But instead of hearing the information about him he heard all about what Letty did and what happened to her. About her leaving for the summer, about her killing the guy and the police. All of the sudden Dom couldn't breath, all this happened to her causing her to be this person who he loved and yet couldn't stand. He thought he was losing her but he realized that he already did, all of the sudden he heard the girls moving around and Letty saying she was going to bed. Quickly Dom ducked into the bathroom as Letty went from Mia's room to her and Dom's. Dom waited until Mia's light went off before he went to his room.

Letty looked up from her magazine when the door opened expecting Mia but instead it was Dom.
"Let?" Dom asked
"What?" She whispered looking away from him.
"Can we talk?" He asked, Letty thought about it before nodding.
