12. Home sick

A couple of months passed, Letty hadn't had any contact with anyone from the team. While in Mexico she had gotten into a fight with some punk, who had pulled a knife on her and stabbed her in the stomach, she had a punktured lung and a couple of broken ribs after falling down some stairs when the knife hit her. As she layed in the hospital she realised just how lost she was without the team, her family. She often thought of Dom, how he used to pick her up in his arms and carry her around the house just to show her off at partys. How he was cranky in the morning and how he sometimes looked at her like she was the only girl on earth. They had so much history, good and bad. They were so different, yet in their own way, they made the perfect couple. They had a way of understanding each other without saying a word. They knew just how to hurt each other and how to make it all better again. Dom was so sexy, Letty couldn't get enough of his body. She used to drag him upstairs in the middle of a party, not even bothering to make up some believable excuse. She just had a devilish smile on her lips and ordered Dom to come and give her a foot rub or a massage. They used to make love all night, and in the morning Letty still wanted more. Dom always gave it to her. He loved the fact that her sexual appetite was cose to unlimited.

The more she thought about all of them, the more she needed to talk to them so she reached for the phone beside her bed and dialed the number.

"Toretto's." Mia answered.

At first Letty couldn't say a word, then she took a deep breath. "It's me..." she whispered, she was not sure Mia would wanna talk to her.

"Let!?! My god, where are you? Are you okay?" Mia yelled.

"I'm in Mexico, in a hospital...got stabbed... you know me, always looking for trouble." Letty explained.

"God, are you gonna be all right?" Mia sounded hysterical.

"Sure, I'll be fine, gonna be released from the hospital tomorrow. You should have seen the guy who stabbed me, I messed him up pretty bad before he pulled the knife on me!" Letty laughed, then she went all silent. It was so hard to hear the voice of her best friend after everything that had happened.

"You have to come back home Letty, it's not the same without you!" Mia started crying.

"You really want me to come home after what I did?" Letty was shocked.

"I was so mad at you at first, but I have forgiven you a long time ago!"

"What about the others? Is Vince still there? Do they hate me?"

"Well, Dom beat Vince up pretty bad after you left, but they are cool now, they worked things out. Leon's not pissed at you no more. Both him and Vince have started talking about you again, they miss you. I miss you Let!"

"What about Dom? How is he?" Letty didn't even know if she wanted to hear the answer.

"He's completely changed, he sits in your room, he refuses to talk about you and he hardly ever races... He has started drinking heavily, it's getting impossible to live with him. He can't exist without you Let, even if he won't admit it."

Dom had really changed since Letty left. He was angry all the time, didn't talk much and he lost it every time something reminded him of Letty. He told all the other girls that were trying to flirt with him to fuck off. It seemed nothing could make him happy again, except having his woman back.

"You think I could come back to L.A?" Letty asked trying to hide the hopefullness in her voice.

"Actually... you have to come, there is a surprise here for you, but I won't tell you 'til you get here!" Mia sounded very eager for Letty to come back home, and Letty didn't need more persuation.

"I'll be there in a few days!" She said immediately and hung up the phone. Her heart was pounding hard, she was happy, excited and scared shitless all at the same time.
