Chapter 17-A new family
Jesse was finally getting out of the hospital; he had been in there for two weeks, and he was happy to get the hell out. Dom and I went to go pick him up; I convinced Dom to hire him (well, more like his skills convinced Dominic to hire him). I was glad that Dominic had hired him; I know he would be safe. Dominic promised he'd take care of Jesse, and I knew he would. Jesse was so happy he was getting out of the hospital; he had been jumping off the walls waiting to get the hell out of there. I've personally hated hospitals ever since I was a little kid, and Jesse hates them too. When we finally arrived at the hospital, Jesse was already waiting for us; he was dressed and all his stuff was packed.
"I guess you're anxious," I said as Jesse hoped off of the bed.
"Hell ya, I've bee in here for two weeks!! It's been fucking hell!!"
"Come on, let's go I got a car for you to fix, mad scientist," Dominic said getting Jesse's bags.
"I got a job, at DT, like I always dreamed of?"
"Yeah, you got some mad skills."
"A compliment from the King."
"You don't have to be so formal, we're friends."
Jesse looked like he was about to pass out right there. I smiled and put my arm around his shoulder. "Is this a dream?" Jesse whispered in my ear.
"No," I whispered back.
He smiled and we went to sign him out.
When we arrived at DT, Jesse's face lit up like a kid's at Christmas. He was so happy, he practically jumped out of the window; I had to open the door. Jesse looked at the garage for a while before it really hit him.
"He seems happy about it," Dominic said as he came up behind and put his arms around my waist.
"He loves cars, engines seem to clam him."
"Com' on, let's get him started."
"Yeah, before he jumps out of his pants."
"Com' on, kid you've got some work to get done," Dominic said as he put an arm around his shoulders and lead him into the garage.
I followed them into the garage; Mia was sitting at the computer doing paperwork as usual. Jesse looked around, he was in a complete daze; Dom had to shake him to make him pay attention.
"Yo, Team Toretto and Mia!! We have a new member joining our team and family!!" Dominic shouted getting everyone's attention. "Jesse, I'd like you to meet Vince, Letty's brother, Mia, my sister and Leon, our friend."
"Hey, nice to meet everyone," Jesse said shyly.
"Alright, everyone get back to work this isn't happy hour. Jesse, I got a car for you to work on with your mad skills."
Dominic led Jesse over to a Mustang, the car looked like a piece of shit but I knew Jesse could fix it, I had faith in him.
"Well some people don't know how to keep their cars looking nice," Jesse said as he rolled under the car and got to work.
I had promised Mia that I'd help her with the paperwork; she couldn't read the guys' handwriting. I on the other hand grew accustom to their handwriting and have been reading it all my life. Fire, Ice and Sinner walked into the garage; Sinner had just come back from the doctor's office to have her weekly check-ups on the baby. Leon went with her most of the time, but he couldn't go today because he had to work and he was getting on Sinner's nerves. Sinner wore her usual black clothes except now they were baggie not tight.
"How the appointment go?" Leon asked as he helped Sinner into a chair.
"Leon.I'M NOT MADE OF FUCKIN' GLASS!!!" Sinner shouted as she sat down.
Jesse walked over to Sinner and hugged her. "How ya feelin' girl?"
"Like I've just been through hell and back."
"Com' on it's not that bad."
Yes, it is!!"
"Well, I got work to do."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
"Bet your glad to be out of the hospital."
"Yeah, I am," Jesse said as he when back to work.
"So what did the doctor say?" Leon asked as he squatted in front of Sinner.
"He said.I'm doing fine, I can't take pain killers, excise, eat health and to stay away from harmful chemicals."
"So the baby's fine?"
"Yes, genius, the baby's fine."
"I got to get back to work."
"What your mom say when she found out?" I asked as I helped her up.
"She kicked me out."
"Why?"
"I'm an embarrassment to the family."
"So, where ya gonna stay?"
"I don't know."
"How 'bout you move in with Ice and Fire?"
"Where you gonna stay?"
"She can move in with us," Mia said standing up from behind the computer desk.
"No she's not!! She's moving back into the house," Vincent shouted back.
"No, I'm not!! I'm not moving back into a house with a whore and an asshole!!!!!" I shouted at my brother.
"Yes you are!! You don't have a choice!! You're still a little girl!!"
"No, I'm not!!! I'm seventeen!!"
"You're still a little girl."
"No, I'm not!!"
"Yes, you are!!"
"Don't make me beat your fuckin' ass down!!"
"Alright, that's enough!!" Mia shouted taking control like a mother does. "Letty and Jesse are moving in with us. Jesse will get the spare room and Letty will share a room with Dom."
"I'd prefer she share a room with you Mia," Vincent said. "He might try something."
"Please Dom won't try anything, Letty 'ill kick his ass if he does!"
"Fine, but you better not try anything on my baby sister unless you want your ass kicked!!"
"I won't Vince, she like family to me. She's one of my best friends," Dominic said as he smiled at me.
I smiled back at him; I walked back to the computer and started once again to do paperwork. Mia sat back down and got to work. Sinner, Fire and Ice walked over to Jesse as he was working on the car to talk to him; they work in a garage too, but they had the day off and anyways we owned the garage. Fire, Ice, Sinner, Jesse, XXX, AAA and I owned it for a long time; we got a lot of business from the street racers that raced with us.
"What is the hell wrong with you men!?!?! Can't you write clearly so I can read it!! Damn you!!" Mia shouted at the top of her lungs as she stood up.
"Damn Mia, gurl clam down," I said as I pulled her down to the chair.
"Sorry, it's just that I keep on telling them to write clearly."
"I can read them."
"Yes, but that's you not me."
"I'm surprised you grew up with them, and Dom's your brother, and still you can't read his handwriting."
"No, I can't."
"How is that possible?"
"It just is alright."
"Calm down gurl, breath."
Later that day, Sinner and I moved into our new living spaces. I moved my shit into Dominic's room; he's room was nice and clean, well nicer and cleaner than Vince's.
"Nice room," I said as Dominic walked into he's room.
"Really? You like my room?"
"It's cleaner than Vince's."
"Whose room wouldn't be?"
"Jesse's he can't really clean very well with his ADD."
"So, how much paperwork did you get done?"
"2/3, why?"
"I can't ask questions, it is my garage."
"Why don't you do some paperwork?"
"Because I pay Mia to do it. And doing paperwork bores me."
"Oh, really?"
"Really," Dominic said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
He leaned down and kissed me, "I thought my brother said for you not to try anything on me."
"So, what's he gonna do?"
"Besides kick your ass."
"He can't kick my ass."
"Oh, really?"
"Really."
I smiled as he kissed me again; I was glad I was in the same house and the same room as Dominic. Jesse loved his new room, it was better than any other place he's ever lived. I was glad that Jesse was happy he deserved to be. Happy.happiness.where the hell did that come from?
Jesse was finally getting out of the hospital; he had been in there for two weeks, and he was happy to get the hell out.
