Chapter 10 : Phone calls
It was morning in the Toretto household. Mia sat at the table in the kitchen her head in buried in her arms. She looked a mess, her hair was pushed in every direction, tearstains ran down her cheeks and her eyes were all puffy. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs, she looked through the kitchen door and saw Leon putting on his coat.
"Leon, where you going?" she quietly called to him.
"Mia that you? What you doing up this early?" he walked into the kitchen. Mia got up and hugged him, she grasped him tightly and began crying.
"I couldn't sleep," she sobbed into his shoulder.
"Ah Mia you heard the doctor, Jesse's gonna be okay, he's just gotta take it more easy." Leon told her.
"I know, but it was so close Leon, he stopped breathing, what if the ambulance hadn't got here in time. If only I hadn't started crying and upsetting everyone." she carried on sobbing.
"Mia, it aint you're fault, and stop worrying Jesse's in safe hands." Leon told her sympathetically.
"Thanks Leon," she stopped crying and looked up at him, "Where you going at this time? Please don't go I don't wanna be here on my own."
"I have to go Mia, I'm sorry but I got some stuff to take care of," he ungrasped her and walked towards the front door. Leaving Mia standing in the kitchen on her own.
Letty and Vince were still at the hospital with Jesse, Mia and Leon were there to until Leon had taken Mia home against her will because she had been sick. Dom still hadn't returned from last nights take off, he had his mobile switched off and Mia was worried about him and what he might have done. Just then she heard an engine pull up in the drive. She ran to the front window, peered out and saw Dom's orange Toyota. Dom turned off the engine of the car walked into the house, he looked around and saw Mia standing in the kitchen doorway.
"What happened to your face? What did you do Dom?!" she shouted at him.
He brushed past her and walked up to the fridge, "go away Mia.". He wasn't in the mood to explain, he was tired, he had been driving around for the past few hours thinking. A bruise had appeared where Brian had managed to swipe a punch at him. He felt her eyes boreing into the back of his head.
Mia starting sobbing again, she ran towards him and started slapping the back of his head. "Mia, what the fuck you doin'?" he turned around, she kept hitting him on the chest and head, she was cursing at him which she didn't rarely do. Mia hit as hard as she could but wasn't really hurting him, he was too strong. He grasped her arms and pushed her back, "Mia STOP IT!" he shouted at her. But she kept trying to hit him, "You STUPID FUCKING MORON!" she yelled at him.
"Mia I didn't fight him, I just hit him once okay?" he told her trying to reason with her. But this seemed to make her angrier, she gave another hard slap to his face. Dom was beginning to get annoyed.
"THAT'S ENOUGH MIA!" he shouted at her and pinned her arms against the kitchen cupboards. "Calm down, I barely touched him."
"You have no fucking idea Dom! Your stupid macho crusade has put Jesse in hospital! He nearly died! All because of you!" she yelled into his face.
"What are you talking about, Jesse's out of hospital." He released his grip on her wrists.
"No, last night after you left Dom, he collapsed, the doctor said it was due to stress on the heart, caused by you Dom! He stopped breathing, we had to call an ambulance." She started sobbing again. She fell into Dom's arms. He gripped her tightly, and stroked her hair.
"I'm so sorry Mia, I really am, is he gonna be okay?" he asked her quietly.
"Yeah he's gonna be fine, I'm sick of all this Dom I just want things to go back to the way they were," she forgave him quickly like she always did. "I rang Letty, she said Jesse's well enough to come home today. The doctors wanted him to stay another night just to be sure, but Jesse was adamant he didn't want to, you know Jesse, can't sit still for two seconds." She gave a muffled laugh into Dom's shoulder. Dom laughed as well.
"Come on lets go down to the hospital to pick him up," Dom ushered her towards the door.
"No Dom, I look a mess let me go wash first," said Mia, Dom sighed, "I'll be quick," she rushed up the stairs. The phone rang, Dom walked over and picked it up.
"Is Leon there?" a gruff voice said.
"Hold on," he placed the phone on the table, "MIA! Is Leon here?" he called up the stairs.
"No! He went out 'bout 20 minutes ago!" she called back.
He picked up the phone, "No, he's not here." Dom said into the phone.
"What 'bout Letty?" The gruff voice asked. Dom was beginning to get suspicious.
"No she ain't either, who is this?" Dom asked back.
"You tell Leon that OJ needs to speak to him and soon," ordered the gruff voice.
"What! Are you ordering me about?" Dom said back, getting angry. The line went dead. Mia came down the stairs, her face washed.
"Who was that?" Mia asked.
"No-one," Dom answered, "Come on lets go."
"Wait I need to brush my hair," She grabbed the brush and headed towards the kitchen.
"Mia! We're going," he walked over picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She squealed, "Dom! Put me down," both laughed as he shut the front door and walked towards the car.
-----Hey ppl, I'm sssooo happy with the reviews i'm getting, you lot put a smile on my face :-) by the way some one e-mailed me about anonymous reviews (northshorenative64) and I didn't know I had it so I couldn't get them, so I'm changing it now. No cliffhangers here I'm afraid, you may be wondering why I put Jesse back in hospital, but there is a reason, which you'll find out in the next chapter ;-) . It's taking a bit longer than expected to get into the main storylines, these two chapters were supposed to fit into one! Anyways I am getting there so hope you enjoy--------------- --------------------
