Chapter 8
Three hours later and all the members of the Toretto household, except Leon were sitting at the garden table. In front of them was a delicious feast of, barbequed chicken, burgers, spare ribs, chips, and salads just waiting to be devoured.
"I'll say grace," said Mia. All the team took each other's hands. "Dear God, um, thank you for brining Jesse back to us in one piece," she shot a smile at Jesse, "and of course not forgetting Vince. Help us to come together and start afresh. Also I'm sure the rest of the team would like me to ask you for parts for their cars they need," there were grunts from the others, "Yeah so um, Amen.". All the others gave an enthusiastic Amen.
"Nice one Mia," Vince said from beside her. All of them proceeded in attacking the food. They spent the evening laughing and joking to each other between mouthfuls of food. Towards the end of the evening, Dom heard a car pull up at the front of the house, a car door slammed. Leon appeared out from the side of the house.
"Hey Leon, where you been?" shouted Vince.
"Just had some stuff to sort out. Sorry I didn't make it back in time," he said as he made his way over.
"Never mind still plenty of grub left, pull up a chair and sit your sorry ass down." Dom told him.
"Nah Dom, I'm a bit tired I'm just gonna go straight to bed." Replied Leon.
"Anything wrong Leon," asked Letty.
"Nah, like I said I'm just tired, " he grunted as he walked into the house letting the door slam on his way in. Dom didn't believe him he got the feeling for the second time today that someone wasn't telling him the truth.
Later on that evening, Jesse, Dom and Mia were sitting on the front porch having some drinks. Vince and Letty had reluctantly agreed to the washing up since Mia wasn't feeling well. The topic of conversation drew round to the next race night.
"We aint got any racers to drive, Vince can't drive and neither can you Jesse, not yet. So that just leaves me and Letty, we really need another racer, a good one," announced Dom. They grew silent, all three were thinking of the same person.
"Dom man, you know he came to visit me in hospital," Jesse told him quietly.
"Who?" asked Dom.
"Brian," Jesse glanced upwards to see Dom's reaction. He stood up and banged his fists against the side of the house.
"What! I told that loser to stay away from you lot!" he shouted, Letty and Vince heard and came out onto the porch, "I'm gonna sort him out, he should of stayed away like I fucking told him to!" he was infuriated.
Mia suddenly clicked, "What you mean you've talked to him and you didn't tell me! What right have you to warn him of us.or me, you don't own me Dom, all this time you let me think he didn't care!" she screamed into his face. "Why can't."
"MIA! Shut up!" Dom interrupted, shouting at her. She stopped and glared at him.
"Dom, he's sorry man, he was just doing his job, I think he wants to come back, if." started Jesse.
"Shut the fuck up as well Jesse! Are you turning on me, 'cause if you forget Brian is a fucking cop, he fucking lied about everything, nothing he said was true!" Dom interrupted again. Mia burst into tears, Dom realised why, she ran inside slamming the door shut behind her. There was an awkward silence.
"I'm gonna go check on Mia," Letty said quietly and she walked inside.
"Vince get in the car," Dom ordered, "we're gonna go sort out Brian." Jesse coughed.
"Dom man wait, don't do this there gonna lock you up again. Mia needs you Dom, we all do." Jesse spluttered, but Dom ignored him as he walked down the driveway.
"Vince you coming?!" he shouted it was more an order than a question, Vince looked at Dom he didn't want to go but he knew better than to say no, so he followed after him. Mia who had been listening from her bedroom window leaned out of it.
"Dominic!" she screamed, "Please don't do this! Don't leave me, not again!" she continued. "Dom if you go, I'm not gonna be here when you get back!" she threatened in a last attempt to get him to stay. Dom thought about it, he knew better than to listen to empty threats from Mia and he certainly wasn't going to be ordered around by her. But the words "I need you" kept echoing around inside his head. He stopped just as he reached the car he couldn't risk going back to jail, not again but it was to late to go back on what he'd said, he did have to sort Brian out. He opened the car door, got in and started the engine he slammed his foot down on the accelerator and shot away down the road, leaving Vince still standing on the drive.
There was a loud bang like something falling, Vince turned around and saw Jesse had collapsed to the floor. He ran as fast as he could back up the drive, Mia who realised what happened ran downstairs. Vince reached him first, he tried to shake him awake by yanking his arm. No response. He then tried shaking him violently. Still no response, he pulled Jesse so that his head was rested on his knees, Mia was sobbing behind him.
"Letty, call an ambulance," Vince told her calmly. She stood still in shock, "LETTY! Call an ambulance!" he shouted at her. She moved inside and grabbed the phone; from the window she could see Jesse lying there in Vince's arms. "Its okay Jesse, your gonna be fine," sobbed Mia as she kneeled down and stroked his head, but all of them knew there was little chance Jesse could hear her.
---Well that's it ppl hope u liked it a bit of a cliffhanger. That's kind of the end of the beginning and now we're going to get more into the thick of things, and find out a lot of interesting things ;- ) . I'll post probably again in the weekend sometime, thanks again 4 the reviews, I'm overwhelmed!-----------------
