Three hours later Dom sat in his room staring out the window. Mia had driven him home after he calmed down from the blow of finding out that his sister was dead and the other was lost with no lead. He visited Leon after an hour or so. He couldn't remember what he had said though. He was too shocked to
think at the time, he still was shocked. He remembered Leon was okay. The bullet hadn't damaged anything major. He'd be out of the hospital in a day or two.
He remembered talking with Vince who had been pretty wrecked with finding out about Mia. He was still at the hospital with Ebony, who was doing fine. She'd be there for a week since she was shot in the chest, but she'd live. The other carrier of sad news was Asher. He was shaken still. Not only because Crimson was missing, but Violet had been shot by a stray bullet. It had gone through the window and hit her from behind, killing her instantly.
Dom couldn't believe it. Then again, he couldn't believe anything at the moment. He was still numb. It was all he felt…just numb. This wasn't supposed to happen. None of it was supposed to. They were all supposed to live happily ever after. Serena was supposed to marry Damon. He was supposed to get married to Letty with both his sisters there. Now they were both gone
forever.
He rubbed his head and looked at the floor. He felt like screaming. Why didn't he see it coming? He should have known that Tong had something up his sleeve. The man always had a plan of some sort. He never let anything go unredeemed. None of them did, not even the Tran's and Jesse was proof of that. But Dom hadn't been careful and it caused Mia and Serena their lives along with Crimson and Violet. Just like his fortune said.
He thought back to the dream he had of Mia and Serena. It still shook him up. They had been so real to touch. It was hard to believe that it was all only a dream. He remembered Mia was in pain and she wouldn't leave until Serena did. She had been so sad... I'm fine. I'll be better in a while.
That's what Mia had told him. He frowned and thought it over. Better in awhile... Mia had been saying good-bye, he realized. Some how she had entered his dreams and said good-bye that had to be it. That was why she had been so sad because she was saying good-bye. She had even said it before she left for
good.
Dom wanted to cry, but couldn't. His eyes were dry from crying earlier. His sisters had said good-bye.
He heard the door open and saw Damon standing there. He smiled feebly despite having his fiance and sister taken. "Hey Dom, I just thought we should talk."
"About what," he said gruffly.
"About you know, the plan to find Serena and Crimson," he said sitting in one of the chairs. "We gotta find them some how."
Dom huffed looking back out the window, "There is no plan, Damon."
He frowned, "What?"
"You heard me," he looked at the teenager. "There is no plan."
Damon stood to his feet, "What do you mean 'no plan'?
"I mean there's nothing we can do. We don't know where they are," he told him.
"Bullshit, there's something we can do. Serena needs us, Dom."
"She's dead," he shook his head.
"No she's not or else I wouldn't have seen her."
"It was a dream, Damon. She was saying good-bye. Serena's dead and so is Mia now leave me alone," he yelled turning back to the window.
He could hear Damon breathing hard in anger. "She loved you, Dom. She expects you to find her because you're her brother. Just because Mia is dead doesn't mean Serena is. Look, I'm sorry Mia died all right. I'm sorry all of this happened, but you can't leave Serena and Crimson to die like that. Crimson's
pretty much the only family I have just like Serena's all you have. You're all she has. You both need each other. If you don't do it for me or Serena then do it for Mia. She'd want you to go after her…as for me. I'm going to get her back if it kills me. You do what you feel is right in your heart, Dom. I just hope it's the right thing," Damon left the room closing the door behind him.
Dom sighed and thought of his words. He shook his head. It was impossible to find her. Besides how would he know that that was what Mia would want. Serena could be dead for all he knew.
Don't forget about her, Dom. He jumped as the words came to his head. Mia had said that to him. It was like she spoke the words now. She needs you, don't forget her. She's fine.
Was she? Was Serena actually alive? He looked out the window for an answer but saw nothing, but the sun setting in the sky, painting it blood red. He shivered, it was getting cold as he sat there thinking of Serena, wondering if she was alive or not. He didn't know what to do anymore. He felt so lost and confused, he wanted to crumble and fall apart. Without his sisters his
world was shattered. They had kept everything together for him, piece by piece the puzzle was full. Now everything was broken and they were gone.
"She's fine, Dom," a voice said from behind him.
He jumped and spun around. Mia sat on his bed, wearing her blue jeans and shirt like she had the day she died. She looked healthier, there was a glow about her, but she seemed... lighter, not solid.
"Mia?" he whispered, it was all his throat could manage.
"Yeah, Dom it's me," she smiled happily. "What? You didn't think I'd leave you for good did you?"
"You're dead," he muttered closing his eyes. He opened them thinking she'd be gone, but she still sat there looking at him
"You got a problem with dead people now?" she raised an eyebrow being the cocky girl she had been in life, her sense of humor clearly hadn't died..
"I'm dreaming, that's it. You're just a dream like last time," he nodded, trying to convince himself.
"No, you're not and I was there both times," she stood, tucking her hands into the back of her jeans.
"Why you here?" he asked. Now he needed to go to the local asylum and have himself committed. He was talking to his dead sister. It wasn't possible. He was cracking, he had to be.
"Unfinished business, Dom. Some people have it and I'm one of them," she told him seriously.
"What is it?" He couldn't believe he was taking this so easily. It proved he needed a therapist... bad!
"Serena, I have to make sure she's all right. And you have to get her back, Dominic Toretto," she pointed at him.
"She's dead. Mia, just like you," he shook his head.
"No she's not, Dom," she shook her head, running a hand through her hair. "She's not on the other side neither is Crimson. They're alive."
He looked up at her, happy to hear those words. It gave him hope of finding her. "I don't know where to look."
"You'll figure it out," she gave him a weak smile.
He shook his head. Seeing her there made everything seem better. He had a thousand things he wanted to say that he never got to and now he couldn't think of one of them. "God, Mia…I miss you so much."
"I know, Dom. Believe me I know. I didn't want to go but I had no choice," she said.
"Mia there's so many things I want to-"
She held up her hand stopping him, "There's no time right now. Save it or later to talk about. I gotta go, Dom. I'll see you around."
"Wait!"
"What?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.
He licked his dry lips, "Jesse there?"
Mia smiled, "Yeah, Jesse's there. He's happy and fine and so is my old dog Sparky and so is Violet, although she's worried for Asher."
Dom nodded.
"By the way Dom…Dad's so happy for you. You've made him proud."
Dom smiled and felt his eyes water. He looked up to tell his sister he loved her and to thank her for saying that, knowing he had felt like a disappointment since the meeting with Serena's principal but Mia was gone.
He looked around the room, but she wasn't there. He shook his head, "I'm dreaming again," he sighed and stuck his hands in his pockets.
Dom frowned when his hand closed over an object in his pocket. He pulled it out and his mouth dropped. Holding it by the chain, Serena's necklace dangled in front of his face. Hold this for me. I don't want to lose it. Her words rang in his mind as he recalled her putting it in his hand and telling him that. He smiled. She was alive. He knew what to do now. He put it back in his pocket and opened the door going downstairs to meet up with Damon, hoping he hadn't left already.
