Chapter 7 The Valley (part 2)/Meeting Dom and Nic
No One's POV
Three Hours after Dom ran out of the Kitchen
"CHINA!!" Dom yelled through her bedroom door.
"GO AWAY!!" She screamed in response.
"Where the fuck are you going?" Dom asked through the door while leaning against the opposite wall.
"None of your goddamn business Dom. Now drop it alright." China said walking out of her room, down the hall, down the stairs and out of the front door and to her car just as Trick and her friends arrived.
Outside
"Damn girl. It took you almost five hours to get ready?" Trick asked stepping out of his car to talk to her.
"No. It took almost three cause of Dom. He wouldn't stop grilling me about where the fuck I'm going. Told him it was none of his goddamn business where the fuck I'm going. SO, can we go before he comes outside and starts grilling someone else out here?" China said getting in her car.
"MAMA! MAMA! I want to ride wit you. Please?" Emerald yelled running for China's car.
"Yea sure. Get in your seat." China said as Emerald got in the car and in her car seat. China buckled her in and got in her car herself.
Two-way
"Where in the Valley are we going Trick?" China asked. They were on their way to The Valley to see Dom and Nic.
"Downtown I believe." Trick said over the two-ways.
A series of responses were sounded over the two-ways.
Toretto's Household
"Where the hell are they going?" Brian asked as China and her team took off and China's old group of friends started to show up.
Dom didn't seem too happy about the answer he was about to give his sister's boyfriend. "They're going to the Valley." Was all that Dom said and went up to his room to get ready for work.
"Where's China at?" Niki asked walking into the house with everyone else with her trailing behind.
"Valley." Came the grim reply from everyone in the kitchen all at once. Niki, Adam, Chris, Joe, Jesse (Lane), Brian (Wagner) and Scott all looked at each other, apparently confused.
"Valley? She wouldn't be going to 'The' Valley, would she?" Brian (Wagner) asked. Six nods and 'yeas' went around the table. The seven friends glanced confusedly at each other.
"Why?" Niki asked grabbing a Corona out of the fridge.
"Went to see some friends. Who were in deep ass shit with the law a year and a half back when the two 'friends' were still with the team who call themselves 'The Scorpions' when they were still in Dallas." Jesse reported.
"Awww! Fuck that shit man!" Scott said heading for the front porch.
"Scott! C'mon man!" Jesse (Lane) said going after him. a/n: no m/m in any of my stories! "Scott? What's up man?" Jesse (Lane) asked walking out on the front porch.
"What." Scott snapped in response from Jesse's left when he stepped out on the porch.
"What's wrong man?" Jesse repeated leaning against the wall of the house.
"We're never going to get the old China back, man. Mean, she came back but she came back different somehow y'know?" Scott asked sitting on the side of the porch.
"Yea man, I know. We'll all have a talk with her when she gets back later on tonight. Okay?" Jesse asked putting his hand on his friend's shoulder. Scott grunted a response. "Let's go back inside man." Jesse said heading back inside with Scott in tow.
"...yea, but what are we going to do about Rain? How are we going to get her to stay with us instead of going for a place with her new friends?" Chris asked as Jesse and Scott walked into the living room.
5 Hours Later
"Dominic! Nicholas! Don't you fucking dare!" Everyone in the Toretto house heard China yell.
"Awww! C'mon Rain, don't be like that." A male voice said as many car doors shut simultaneously.
"Man, just let it go Nic." Trick said as he walked through the front door carrying a sleeping Emerald. Laughter erupted outside.
Dom stood glaring at Trick and everyone else pouring through the front door. China was the last one in the door. When she saw the look on Dom's face she stopped short.
"Why don't you guys go with Trick up to my room. He knows the way. I'll be up there soon." China said hesitantly not taking her eyes away from Dom. Her friends trooped up the stairs and when her door slammed shut China tensed. Which Dom noticed.
"Why you tense?" Dom asked sounding pissed.
"Fuck you." China said in response.
"Why'd you go to the Valley? Specially after I specifically told you not to." Dom said sternly.
"I went cause I had friends there Dom. I went there cause I had made a promise to those friends and I keep the promises I make unlike someone else who is my older fucking brother!" China screamed all up in Dom's face. The rest of the DT team stood dumbfounded and shocked stiff. Dom looked as if he'd been soccer punched in his face.
"Why? How?..." Dom asked shocked senseless.
"Why?! Dom! Do you even remember the promise you made to Mami before she died?!" China screamed not caring whether or not she woke up Emerald. Dom just shook his head 'no'. "You promised Mami that you'd take care of me and Mia, you promised her that you'd love and care for us, you promised her that you wouldn't push me or Mia away! But Dom, you kept two-thirds of that promise! You pushed me away with your overprotectiveness!" She screamed again.
Everyone just stared at her dumbfounded cause they have never known China to speak like this to anyone, not even Dom.
"sigh I'm going outside to cool off. Later." China said walking into the kitchen, out the backdoor and walking over to the picnic table.
Back Inside
Chris and the rest of China's old friends were the first to recover from the shock cause they all knew that China would've done that way before now if she hadn't left town.
"We'll go see if she's alright." Chris said walking out of the backdoor with Niki, Adam, Joe, Jesse (Lane), Brian (Wagner) and Scott.
"You deserved it Dom." Mia said fire burning behind her eyes. "If you hadn't tried so hard to protect her and shit she wouldn't have left and she wouldn't have said all that about you and Mami!" Mia yelled storming up the stairs to her room. Brian went up after her.
"Did I really deserve it?" Dom asked turning to those still in the room with him. No one looked up at him, no one dared to look at him.
Outside
"C?" Chris asked as he and the others walked up to her.
"Hmmm?" she asked staring up at the stars.
"We going to be able to meet your two friends you brought over tonight?" Joe and Niki asked in unison, which caused them all to laugh.
"Yea. C'mon. I best go apologize to Dom. Wait, no, he can apologize to me for all those years before I apologize to him for what I did tonight." China said walking back into the house and up the stairs not even looking at Dom or the people still in the living room.
China's Room
China's POV
As me and my crew made our way to my room, I was beginning to become extremely nervous. I didn't know how they'd all react to Dom and Nic. I sighed, took a deep breath and opened the door to my room.
"Hey fellas! And Ladies." I added as I stepped inside my room with my friends right behind me.
"How's it hanging chica?" Dom asked giving me a hug. "Missed you." He whispered in my ear before he let go.
"Missed you too Dom." I whispered back before he let go. "Guys, I want you to meet my old crew, well they still are my crew but you know what I mean, Scott, Chris, Brian, Jesse, Adam, Niki, and Joe. Guys, meet my new crew, Trick, Angel, Denver, Dom, Nic, Ty, Sky, and the little girl who happens to be sleeping is Emerald." I said pointing to each person in turn. A series of 'hellos' went around the room.
"Rainy-Girl, how you doing chicky-girl?" Nic asked from his spot by my computer. He was the computer whiz or our 'Mad-Scientist' if you will before he got dragged into trouble alongside Dom. And then I took over. Guess all those hours spent with Jesse before I left really paid off. Thank you Jesse. I thought to myself.
"I've been better. But hey can't say the same for you. Were you two planning on telling us where you guys were booking to next?" I asked sitting on the floor in front of Chris who was leaning up against my bed.
"Na not particularly." Nic said sarcastically. "Duh! Yea, we were going to tell you. In fact we're moving in next week and here's the big fucking surprise that I didn't know until yesterday. We're moving in right next door." Nic said sitting with a loud thud on the floor.
"C'mon Dom. You too Nic. sigh You two got to come and meet my brother and everyone else. I got to apologize to Dominic come to think of it anyway." I said getting up from my spot and heading out the door for the stairs. Dom and Nic followed after. I had changed my mind about the whole Dom apologizing first thing.
Back in the Living room
Dom was in the living room sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. I felt really guilty for blowing up at him like I did. It just annoys me that after two and a half years he could still be that overprotective of me. I mean, come on! I'm 18 now...soon to be 19, in like three months but hey who's really counting?(Anyway on with the show.)
"Dom?" I asked entering the living room. He looked up. I cleared my throat. "I'd like you to meet my other two friends. This is Dominic Anderson and Nicholas McGinty, better known as Dom and Nic." I said leaning against the doorframe entering the living room. He didn't say a word, which scared me.
