Chapter 6-
Something new and dangerous
See my days are cold without you but I'm hurting while I'm with you And although my heart can't take no more, I can't keep on running back to you.
I woke up.no birds.YES!! I opened my eyes and realized that I was in a car; Dom's shirt was on top of me. I had my under clothes on and I realized what happened the night before. I looked over to the driver side to find Dom in his boxer shorts asleep. I quickly got dressed and got into Vince's car, he had left it here for me to drive home and if I'm not home by the time he gets up I'm dead. I parked his car and ran up to my room. I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling trying to figure out if what happened last night was a good thing or bad thing.definitely a good thing. I got up and stared out my window, what will I do.never mind, I'll deal with it later. The birds started to sing again and I decided I'd get ready to go to the garage. I still had to go to work, I needed the money. What was I gonna say to Dominic when I saw him.who the hell cares I'll find out sooner or later. I lay back and closed my eyes, I was thinking about the car I was working on.how did a white boy get a car like that; there was no way he could have gotten it unless he was a rich white boy but he didn't dress like one. I had the strange feeling that I've meet him before but I can't remember. My brother, Vince was asleep as usual, I don't understand how he could sleep so damn much.
"Letty you home?"
"Yeah, what do you want Vince?"
"Next time you plan on staying late at the garage call okay."
"Why should I? You don't really care about me!!"
"Letty I would like to know where you are so I know that you're not out getting-"
"Getting pregnant!! I ain't a whore like the girls you fuck!! And anyway it's none of your business what I do it's my life and if I want to screw it up I will. And anyway you already screwed up my life making me stay with a bunch of people who ain't even my family!! I would have been better off on the streets than with these motherfuckers!! You don't even love me, when was the last time you ever stood up for me!?! Huh, huh!!"
"Letty, of course I love you, you're my sister, and you're my family."
"Well you don't treat me like it, bustard."
"Letty, why are you acting like this?"
"Cuz I feel like it."
"."
My brother stared at me; I never talked to him like that before without punching or physical hurting him. I knew how to hurt him emotionally; I learned how to hurt someone like that ever since my dad died. If I have to feel pain I can't stop so will anyone who messes with me along with physical pain.I know what people say when I turn my back, I know that they think about me, but I don't care. When you mess with me your messing with pain and death.
"Tell Dom I'll be coming in late today," was all Vince said as he left my room.
"Tell him yourself," I said as I walked down the stairs.
I arrived at the garage to find Dom getting dressed, "Isn't it the guy who's suppose to leave the girl alone."
"Well, we weren't actually in a bed," I replied as I handed him his shirt.
"I think you left these," he said as he showed me my dog tags.
"What do I have to do? Fix a car?" He put the chain around my neck and gently kissed me on the lips, "Thank you."
"For what?"
I shook my head and walked over to the front of the car, "If it was for last night, I should be thanking you," Dominic said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I turned my body so that I was facing his; he leaned in and kissed me, I broke the kiss and said, "Vince is coming in late."
"Really," he replied as he leaned in and kissed me.
He pushed me down on the hood of the car; we continued to kiss as the doors to the garage opened. I broke the kiss and push Dom off. Mia and Leon walked into the garage, "You're here early, Letty," Mia said as she grabbed some papers off a desk.
"Yeah.I couldn't sleep," I replied as I popped the hood of the car.
I went to work under the car, and Leon worked under the hood. I laid my head against the board as my mind drifted back to the deeps of hell. The cell was small with twenty bars in front of it. The walls were marked up with lines from people who were counting their days, months, years. The walls were chipped revealing what color the walls were at one time. The bed was nothing but a cot that was falling a part anyways, the springs from the cot poked my back and sides but it didn't matter I'm in the deeps of hell; I'm surprised I'm still alive. We all wear the same thing, orange jumpers with numbers imprinted on them. We were kept behind three walls and a row of bars, the sun never shown on us it's as though God will never shine his light on us. The bar doors never opened, but when they were it was a blessing. Large metal gates that blocked us out of the real world surrounded the excise area; the world where you aren't in prison for a simple mistakes. Craving sunlight in prison is like being poor and wanting a hundred dollar dress-you ain't gonna get it. You know once you're in here you'll never get out and if you do prison will always be in your blood.it'll change you inside and out.physically as much as emotionally.emotionally as much as socially. What I mean is you could be talking to your friend and all of the sudden you'll start talking as if there guards all around you and you're being watched at all hours. You'll be emotionally scar and most likely physically too, the world behind those bars is a life of hell, pain, lose and death. How you survive is up to you, but watch your back the first stab's a painful one.
"Letty.Letty!!" Leon shouted at me breaking my train of thought.
"Huh, what?"
"Girl you awake under there?"
"Yeah, I was just thinking."
"More working less thinking."
"But I need to think to do the work."
"Actually this shit comes naturally to you so why would you have ta think about it?"
"Nothin' never mind."
I went back to work on this beautiful car, but still I couldn't figure out how a white boy like him got this baby. I finished what I was doing then rolled out from under the car, my brother walked in and I ignored him. All I wanted right now was to be far away from the whole thing.the garage.my brother.the team.everyone except Dom and Jesse. My cell phone rang and I answered it, it was Jesse.
"Hey Jesse. What's up?"
"Letty.um.I'm in jail.now I didn't do anything wrong but the busters found me walking around and when they asked me where I lived.the.um.A.D.D. kick in."
"I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Thanks Letty, I owe you."
I hung up the phone and walked over to Mia, "Mia, can I borrow your car?"
"Why?"
"I'm not gonna crash it."
"Yeah, sure. Here you go," she said as she handed me the keys.
I walked out of the garage unnoticed and got into Mia's baby blue car. I drove to the busters' station, I walked inside and found one of the busters sitting at a desk. "Hey, I'm looking for Jesse Linberg."
"And who are you?"
"Letty Rodriguez, why?"
"He said someone would be coming for him."
"How much?"
"Nothing don't worry."
"Thank you."
He grabbed some keys from a nail on the wall and went to another place, when he came back he had Jesse with him. Jesse walked up to me and hugged me, "Sign him out," was all the buster said. I signed the stupid paper and me and Jesse left. We got into Mia's car, "Whose car?"
"Mia Toretto's."
"Dominic's sister?"
"Yeah."
".."
"Where's your car?"
"At home."
"Does your dad know where you are?"
"I told him I was gonna be late."
"Do you want to go.?"
"No, I'll call him."
"I'm going to the garage."
"Whose?"
"Dom's."
We stayed silent for the rest of the drive. I knew Jesse's dad would be mad but I hoped he wouldn't hurt him. I parked Mia's car in front of Toretto's garage, I got out and Jesse followed, I entered the garage and tossed Mia her keys. I walked over to the eclips Leon was working on, Jesse followed. Jesse's cell phone rang and everyone's eyes were on him, he answered the phone.
"Yeah.yeah she is.why.I don't know if she will.she betray you.well, I'll ask her.how am I suppose to get there.alright.I'm leaving now."
I knew who was on the other end.Johnny Tran. Jesse walked out of the garage; I followed him, "Jesse, Jesse!! Where are you going?"
Jesse turned around and said, "HE needs us."
"I betray him he doesn't want me to help him."
"He needs your help and mines. Are you gonna help him or not?"
I looked back at the team I had joined then back at Jesse, if I let him go alone he'd get hurt and I couldn't bare to see him in the hospital and if I do go it 'ill be like betraying the team. "How we gonna get there?"
He tossed me the keys to Johnny's Honda s2000, "That's how."
"Lets go then."
We walked to where Johnny hid he's car; we got in and drove to Tran's garage. Jesse owed Johnny; Johnny had been the one to get him out of jail after he landed himself there for almost beating our principal over the head with a metal bat. The principal had said some shit one day when Jesse came to school all beat up, he had threatened to call the busters on his father and he got pissed and he robbed one of the school bats to beat the principal to death. I tried to get him out but I didn't have the money and nether did Jesse, so he started to work for Johnny to pay him back. I stopped in front of the garage and got out; Johnny and Lance were outside. We got out and walked over to them. Lance stared at me and Johnny looked at Jesse.
"So you're gonna help me?" Johnny asked as he looked at me.
"I'll make a you a deal. If I help you Jesse is off the hook for good."
"Alright, you've got a deal."
"Why do you need us?"
"You know that guy you almost kill."
"Yeah."
"Well, him and his crew wanna stir up shit so I need you and Jesse to distract the killers."
"Al'ight, how long do you need?"
"Thirty minutes."
"Alright, lets go."
We all got into the cars and drove off, me and Jesse headed towards the killer's hideout. We got out of the car and walked up to the front door of the house. The killers are a gang that rule the worst side of L.A. I knocked on the door and a blonde hair blued eyed ho answered the door-her name-Nikki. The girl looked me up and down then let us in; her brother a blonde hair baby blued eyed killer walked into the room.
"What do you want?" he asked. He ruled the streets and was concerted a murder.
I knew of only one thing that would give Johnny the thirty minutes he needed-race talk. "So how your car for race wars comin' along."
"Girl my baby's gonna beat Johnny's Honda with no prob." He went on and on, he always talked about that damn piece of shit.
"We've got trouble, White."
Justin's (White) right hand man said as he walked in the room. I looked at the clock on the wall, twenty-nine minutes hope that's enough time. I looked at Jesse; I lunged at Justin and punched him square in the eye. Jesse hit the right hand man and we made a run for it, hopefully Johnny was done with what he planed on doing. We drove back to garage; we got out of the car and waited for Johnny. Johnny arrived ten minutes later, blood all over his and his crew's clothes. Jesse and I left them and grabbed a cab to go home.
When I arrived at the garage Vince, Mia and Dom were the only ones there, I wonder where Leon is. I walked into the garage, "Where did you go?" Vince asked as he grabbed my arm.
"Let me go you're not my father!!"
"Letty, I'm the only family you've got."
"No your not!"
"Letty, I'm your brother!!"
"I don't fucking care! You're the one who ruined my Goddamn life the day you said YOU wanted to stay with that bustard of a stepfather!! I never wanted to stay with him I wanted to go with anyone else!" I grabbed a glass beer bottle and threw it at him.
The glass shattered on the wall, pieces flew everywhere. Vince stared at me in horror, the last time I ever broke a glass object was right after my mom died.that was eight years ago.I did the same thing after my father died.I broke every glass object I could reach and find. No one knew how it felt to see the people you loved more than anyone else die right in front of you.only Dom knew how it felt he was the only other person that I knew of who saw their father die right in front of then. My brother stared at me trying to figure out his typical mistake, "Why did you do that? You could have hit me."
"It was a bad shot and I meant to miss you and I wished I would have hit you, bitch!!"
"What did I do?"
"Make me stay with those mother fuckers."
I walked out of the garage; Vince called after me and when I didn't turn around Mia tried, screw him screw them all. Family.my family died the minute my mom married that bastard.my brother died the minute my father did. I walked all the way to Fire's house, I knew Fire in prison; she was in there cuz she set her step dad's car on fire. She got out the same day I did and she went to live with another girl I meet at prison, Ice; now she got out of prison two weeks before us and she was in there for about three years she went in at fifteen and got out at eighteen. She was in there for drug dealing, illegal racing and for attempted murder of her stepmother. I knocked on the door, I can hear some muffled voices from inside; Ice opened the door, "Hey gurl! Ya got into another fight with your brother?"
"Yeah, of course.stupid idiot!"
"Come in, come in."
I walked into the house to find Jesse and Fire sitting on Ice's black leather sofa. I sat next to Jesse put my head on his shoulder as he hugged me. "What's Jesse doing here?"
"He needs money to pay for the rent and all the races for this week have been canceled because there's too many busters on the case," Fire replied as she handed me a Corona.
I drank the Corona and said, "Plan 385."
"Why not plan 333?"
"Cuz the busters are all over it."
"Lets go then."
"Our clothes."
"Lets go upstairs."
Ice, Fire and I went up stairs and changer into different clothes. We came back down stairs and I said, "Ice it's too long." Ice rolled the skirt up then said, "Now its not." We got into her Honda s2000, Jesse also came, and drove to a club called Reina de Reinas (Queen of Queens) it makes a lot of money on Friday nights. We walked into the club and Jesse went to the main security room. Ice, Fire and I went to the main bar, mostly guys.excellent. Ice and Fire got in front of the bar all the guys rush over to one or the other, I ask the bar tender if I could use the pay phone, which is right behind the bar. Ice distracts him as I cut the security camera's main wire. Jesse makes sure that the people in the main security room don't notice, the bar tender is still distracted by Ice and I open the cash register and grab over a half of what's in there and then close the register. I nodded as I look at Ice and Fire, I hide the dough and walk out from behind the bar. Ice and Fire do their fake phone number gag and we leave the club. When we get outside I hand the money to Jesse and said, "Did they see?"
"No."
"Good."
We all go back to the house and drop Jesse off on the way back to their crib. Although Ice makes me go back to the garage with my so-called brother. She and Fire came in with me and I realize I left my clothes at their house. We enter the garage it's about 1:30 am, Ice scans the room, then looks at me with her "tight ass cars look". Vince looks at me then says "Where the fuck have you been?!"
Ice comes to my defense and says, "Listen you leave her alone! I've never seen you worry about her before! So shut your fucking mouth!!"
"Ice, gurl I'd hate to say it but for once you actually said something smart," I said as I hugged her.
"We gotta go, this one here's got school 'morrow."
"Hey would you and."
"Fire," Ice says as she points to her.
"Would you and Fire like to have a party with me, Letty and a few of my friends."
"Party, will there be Corona?" Fire asked as she put her arm around Mia.
"Yeah, so is that a yes?"
"You mention Corona and Ice and Fire 'ill show up," I said as I toss Fire a Ja Rule CD.
"See ya chica," Fire said as she and Ice leave the garage, Fire then turns around and says, "Is he the 'one'?" as she points to Dominic.
"Yeah."
"K, the teams in mostly thanks to you."
"Bye."
"BD."
"Yeah, yeah."
See my days are clod without you but I'm hurting while I'm with you and although my heart won't take no more I can't keep running back to you glad to wake up everyday without on my brain, no more waking up late at night, no more having to fuss and fight, proud to say that I will never make the same mistakes, no more thinking about what you do, there's no more running back to you.

I walked out of the garage; Vince called after me and when I didn't turn around Mia tried, screw him screw them all. Family.my family died the minute my mom married that bastard.my brother died the minute my father did. I walked all the way to Fire's house, I knew Fire in prison; she was in there cuz she set her step dad's car on fire. She got out the same day I did and she went to live with another girl I meet at prison, Ice; now she got out of prison two weeks before us and she was in there for about three years she went in at fifteen and got out at eighteen. She was in there for drug dealing, illegal racing and for attempted murder of her stepmother. I knocked on the door, I can hear some muffled voices from inside; Ice opened the door, "Hey gurl! Ya got into another fight with your brother?"
"Yeah, of course.stupid idiot!"
"Come in, come in."
I walked into the house to find Jesse and Fire sitting on Ice's black leather sofa. I sat next to Jesse put my head on his shoulder as he hugged me. "What's Jesse doing here?"
"He needs money to pay for the rent and all the races for this week have been canceled because there's too many busters on the case," Fire replied as she handed me a Corona.
I drank the Corona and said, "Plan 385."
"Why not plan 333?"
"Cuz the busters are all over it."
"Lets go then."
"Our clothes."
"Lets go upstairs."
Ice, Fire and I went up stairs and changer into different clothes. We came back down stairs and I said, "Ice it's too long." Ice rolled the skirt up then said, "Now its not." We got into her Honda s2000, Jesse also came, and drove to a club called Reina de Reinas (Queen of Queens) it makes a lot of money on Friday nights. We walked into the club and Jesse went to the main security room. Ice, Fire and I went to the main bar, mostly guys.excellent. Ice and Fire got in front of the bar all the guys rush over to one or the other, I ask the bar tender if I could use the pay phone, which is right behind the bar. Ice distracts him as I cut the security camera's main wire. Jesse makes sure that the people in the main security room don't notice, the bar tender is still distracted by Ice and I open the cash register and grab over a half of what's in there and then close the register. I nodded as I look at Ice and Fire, I hide the dough and walk out from behind the bar. Ice and Fire do their fake phone number gag and we leave the club. When we get outside I hand the money to Jesse and said, "Did they see?"
"No."
"Good."
We all go back to the house and drop Jesse off on the way back to their crib. Although Ice makes me go back to the garage with my so-called brother. She and Fire came in with me and I realize I left my clothes at their house. We enter the garage it's about 1:30 am, Ice scans the room, then looks at me with her "tight ass cars look". Vince looks at me then says "Where the fuck have you been?!"
Ice comes to my defense and says, "Listen you leave her alone! I've never seen you worry about her before! So shut your fucking mouth!!"
"Ice, gurl I'd hate to say it but for once you actually said something smart," I said as I hugged her.
"We gotta go, this one here's got school 'morrow."
"Hey would you and."
"Fire," Ice says as she points to her.
"Would you and Fire like to have a party with me, Letty and a few of my friends."
"Party, will there be Corona?" Fire asked as she put her arm around Mia.
"Yeah, so is that a yes?"
"You mention Corona and Ice and Fire 'ill show up," I said as I toss Fire a Ja Rule CD.
"See ya chica," Fire said as she and Ice leave the garage, Fire then turns around and says, "Is he the 'one'?" as she points to Dominic.
"Yeah."
"K, the teams in mostly thanks to you."
"Bye."
"BD."
"Yeah, yeah."
