Decieved by Appearance: Chapter 9: Letty:s POV:
When I got home, I saw my mom carrying a box downstairs. She was still crying. She dropped the box when she reached the end of the stairs and looked at me. I walked up to her and put wrapped my arms around her in a hug, crying on her shoulder. She hugged me back, patting my back. She pulled away and looked at me. "Can you do me a favor?" She asked me, wiping the tears from my eyes. I nodded.
"Can you go to your sisters room and pack her stuff."
"Why?" I whispererd.
"Well, since she's not..here anymore, we need to.." her voice trailed off. I nodded.
"Where we going to send it to?"
"I don't know. We'll figure that out later, ok! Now go," she gave me a soft smile.
I walked upstairs to Trish's room. I went inside and slowly walked to her dresser . I saw a picture of her and Dom. I picked it up and observed it. She looked so happy. Maybe I should of backed off but how the hell was I supposed to know he was hers? Frusturated, I put the picture down and started packing some clothes in the box.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Aaaaaah!" I screamed, dropping a shirt. I turned around quickly and met the face of my closest friend, Tekara. I sighed in relief.
"Chill girl! It's just me," Tekara said, steppping back a little.
"You scared the shit out of me, TK," I told her.
"Yeah, I know," she chuckled. I made a face at her and turned around, continuing to pack.
"Your mom told me what happened," tekara said, walking up next to me and placing her hand on my shoulder. "You ok?"
"No...I'm not ok," I replied, feeling tears falling out of my eyes.
"Letty," Tekara said softly giving me a hug.
"I've lost two people I love today, TK. This is the worst day of my life," I sobbed into her shoulder.
"Two?" she asked, confused. "Who's the second one?"
"..Dom," I whispered.
"Who's Dom?"
"This guy," I answered. She pulled away from me and arched an eyebrow at me.
"He's this guy I met. He owns a store called `Toretto`, he owns a garage called `DT Automotive`, and has a sister named Mia that's our age...and...I love him."
"What?" Tekara asked, wide eyed.
"I love him," I repeated a little slower.
"And you lost him..how?"
"I told him we shouldn't be together."
"Why the hell not? Did he break your heart? 'Cause if he did, I will-"
"No! He didn't. Actually, he told me....he loved me."
"He did?" She asked. I nodded. "Oh. And you didn't want to be with him why?"
"Trish."
"What does she have to do with this?"
"This is what drove her to kill herself."
"You got to be kidding me!" I shook my head. "I don't get it. How can this be the reason that she commited suicide?"
"Dom...was her boyfriend and...I slept with him.When we were done, Trish came and opened the door and saw us. She had tears in her eyes and started yelling at me, calling me a slut and all that. She stormed out and Dom told me he broke up with her. I guess someone took her home and dropped her off. The next thing I know....I saw her laying on the ground in the kitchen with a huge pile of blood beside her. I told Dom this was all me fault and if we were together, I would feel even more guilty and bad than I already do. It's just too much, TK. All of this is hurting my head," I whispered, holding my head in my hands while sitting down on the bed.
"Yeah," Tekara replied, kneeling down, "but all of this is hurting your heart too." I shook my head, sobbing.
"Letty, you are the one hurting yourself. You gave up the man you love for an incident that you didn't even cause. Letty, you are not the one that made Trish commit suicide. She gave up hope and life. She drove herself to do it. This isn't any of your fault. How the hell were you supposed to know that she felt the same way for Dom? And if he really did break up with her like he said, then it was ok to love him and give him the most important thing you have...your heart."
"But being with Dom might be a bad thing."
"It might be," Tekara said as she grabbed my hands, making me look at her. "Or it might be the best thing you ever had," she whispered, wiping my tears away.
Well?? You like? Hehehe. I'm just asking that to piss DomLetty4eva off! J/K! lol! I love you girl! Please Review!
