Sitting in the car was so hard. I had to sit in back and it was a little
difficult driving in Leon's car with Mia driving. You could feel the
tension. Hell if I got out a butter knife the tension would slice like soft
butter on a hot day. I didn't want to say anything. Leon was even more
tense that someone else was driving his car. I held my face. My nose was
pounding. I think its broke, but I'm not about to say anything.
Mia's knuckles are white from holding the steering wheel so hard. She looks so pitiful. Hell, we both do. We both have busted lips, black eyes, she has a welt on her head and I have a killer bruise on my cheek from Leon. Man, and I thought he looked like the type never to hit girls. I donno, you can never tell about a person until they save you somehow. That's what Letty always told me.
These people were going to tell me about how Letty died and who murdered her so I could get them. They don't know I'm out for blood, not yet. I may never tell them, but hell, if they are going to be kind enough I may tell them all I know about Letty and me. Mia seemed real interested back at the hotel room, but Leon hushed her. They were whispering back at the hotel room as I was changing too. It was sweet. Like lovers having a secret. You could tell they were lovers from their eyes and the way they looked at each other. There was no mistaking it. I remembered how that felt. Ben and I were truly in love. I would of given my life for him. I truly loved him, but it wasn't the same for him. We had sex, made love, but it wasn't real to him. I wasn't his first love. Death had taken Cherry, his first love. She drove off a cliff at 120mph. She didn't even see it. She was racing and had such an adrenaline rush that she thought it was a straightaway. Maria, Ben's second love, died from a gunshot would to the chest, a race gone wrong. Maria was beating them, but they kept racing her. Finally they got pissed and pulled out a gun, right in front of Ben too. That's where we met. The hospital. Ben had just found out she had died and I was in the bed next to Maria in the E.R. I was in a wreck with Letty over in Manchester. I was just beat up bad, but they wanted to check for internal bleeding. Ben stood on my side of the curtain and sat on my bed like a lost puppy. I massaged his back. When he found out he started balling and I hugged him. That's when he became very paranoid. He started saying Death was out to get him. I fell head over heels in love with him. There was nothing I could do. He died just three years ago. He shot himself in the head. Said he'd beat Death to the punch. We were together for four years. He even asked me if I wanted to come with him. That's when Letty came and took care of me again. I was an emotional wreck. She was there for me. Went to my work and helped out so I would keep my job. It was so hard, but she stayed a month and a half. She made phone calls home everyday to her team and her boyfriend. I never caught any of their names. She was like my big sister. Coming to my rescue. Now she was gone and I was coming to hers. If her team hadn't taken care of whoever killed her I would. That was the honest to God truth too. "Dawn," Mia said. I looked up as if in a trance. "We're here." We had just pulled up to Dom's house and were ready to talk. I felt like a little girl as I nodded and got out behind Leon. I walked to the back door and followed Mia in. Mia had her own problems to deal with so Leon and two other men I learned to be Jesse and Vince sat with me in the kitchen. However, Jesse had to sit in between Leon and Vince as I sat on the other side as if to stop them from fighting I started giggling. "What? What's so funny?" Leon asked. Jesse, Leon, and Vince all gave me quizzical looks. "If you two get in a fight you expect that scrawny little guy to stop it, no offense," I said laughing harder now. Leon laughed too. It was pretty funny. "Alright," boomed Vince. Thankfully Mia and Dom were outside. "I just want to know one damn thing," Vince said looking at Leon, "did you and Mia sleep together. Leon looked down as I said, "Do you want Jesse and me to go out back and set up a ring for you to fight? We can have concession stands and sell tickets and everything." Jesse and me started laughing, but the look I got from Vince shut me up. "Did you?" he said quieter now looking at Leon intently. "Bro, I'm not gonna lie to you, but I don't want to hurt you. We did sleep together, but that was Mia's decision. I didn't force her. If I did I'd end up looking like Dawn over her," Leon smirked at that. "Why I otta," I said pretending I was going to punch him. Jesse even laughed too. Vince, however, looked down. He looked like he was going to cry. Very pathetic looking. I felt bad for him, but I wasn't going to say it aloud. "Dawn, I think we need to talk," Dom said looking at me intently. He had changed from last night. He looked like all his emotions had turned to rock. Not just for me, but for everyone. His team was fighting, his family in turmoil. I felt bad for him too. "You sure we can leave them alone?" I asked smiling. "They might start fighting and I don't think that you want broken dishes all over the kitchen," Jesse was smiling too. I think I had made a good friend with him.
Dom looked at them. Both Leon and Vince had their heads down. "You break her heart, Leon, I'll kill you. Vince leave Leon alone," and that was the end of it. "Dawn, we need to talk alone. Maybe on the front porch." Dom said leading the way. When we got there, there were two chairs facing each other, with an empty table in between. Dom sat down at the other end, so I sat down in the empty chair. I knew Dom was going to make this hard for me. I looked at him, not knowing what to say, or do. MIA'S POV I sat at the window looking out watching them. The things Dom was going to say about Letty were going to break her heart. Dawn told me earlier that Letty told her, that if she were ever in L.A. and in trouble the person to go to was Dom Toretto. That was all she had told Dawn. I look down at myself. I said things to Dom last night that almost broke him in two and his way of dealing with it was to be like a rock. As hard as can be. I ran up to my room and laid on my bed sleeping instantly. I'd find out about Dawn later, after I had gotten some sleep. AUTHOR"S NOTE: hey all! You all better R&R or ELSE!!! :~) I better go. A certain someone. JOHNDEERECHIC wants me to hurry up with another chapter so I best run. See you all ASAP!
