4. Jesse
At dinner Mia seemed kind of tense and irritated. Everybody were quiet and nobody really had any appetite.
"I went to see Jesse today" Mia said, "you guys should visit him after dinner, you haven't seen him all week."
"How was he?" Dom asked, he looked really concerned.
"The same" Mia answered
"What's the point of going?" Leon asked "there has been no change in months."
"Mia's right, we should go, even if it's hard on all of us" Letty poined out.
"Besides, you never know when things might change" Vince agreed.
After dinner they all got in Lettys car and drowe to the hospital. Jesse was in his bed looking asleep as usual. He was in a coma, and they all knew he might never wake up. He had been badly injured when he was shot by Tran and his gang.
"Jesse, man!" Letty said and sat down on the bed.
They all started talking to Jesse as if he could here them. They told him about the races and about what was going on at the garage. Everyone was hoping he would hear them and wake up to join the team again. It was so hard to see Jesse all lifeless like that, after the visit they drowe home in silence. Letty and Dom went straight upstairs. Leon went to his room and Vince went to talk to Mia in the living room. Vince was still trying to make Mia see what a prince charming he really was, even if he knew she was not quite over Brian yet. Mia liked Vince in many ways, but she couldn't imagine being his girl.
"Thanks for making us go...you know it's not like we don't wanna see him, it's just so fucking hard." Vince explained as he sat down on the couch.
"I know, I'm sorry if I made you feel bad about not going there all week. It's hard for me too, but we can't lose hope." Mia took Vinces hand and stroked it gently.
Mia had become like a mother to all of them, she took care of the house, she cooked and cleaned and still managed to care for everyones emotional needs. She didn't mind though, she knew they all were grateful and that they loved her. The team had grown so close to each other. After all the things they had been through they had learned to trust and support each other even more than before. There was nothing they couldn't work out together. Sure they fought a lot, but then again, what familiy doesn't, and they always forgave and forgot fast. Mia and Vince finally went to bed after they talked about Jesse for a while. Tomorrow was a new day, and it was an important one. A big race was going to take place in the neighbouring town. Both Dom and Letty was gonna race. Everyone really needed a good night sleep.
