Hey people, unfortunately, I have come bearing some bad news, my other fic "Double Trouble" has been deleted because of recent changes to the site, and the policy that no fic can be about real people. If anyone is still interested in reading it (which I really hope) just IM me, or e-mail me, or write it in your review and I will make sure to get back to you. Thank you so much for your support, and for sticking with me even after all my torture, lol. Well without further ado, the 10th chapter to What Lies Ahead…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Letty could not believe that the person standing in front of her was real. "Oh great," she muttered, "Now I'm going crazy too."

The doctor laughed, "Oh please girl, you know you're not goin' crazy," she said, you could hear the Jersey accent in her voice.

Letty no longer felt immobile, and immediately ran over to the woman and wrapped her arms around her. "Oh my god, I missed you so fucking much! After we lost touch I thought I'd never see you again." Letty felt like she was about to cry, she was so happy.

The doctor hugged her back, "I missed you a lot too Let. You have no idea what happened to me after you left. I never really told you what was really goin' on with me. I guess I didn't think I'd see you again either."

Letty broke their embrace, "We have a lot to catch up on girl."

"Yea, we do. But you go first, you're here to see me right?" she said smiling.

Letty gave her a wry smile, "Aight then, I'll start."

The doctor motioned for Letty to sit down, and proceeded to sit down across from her, then nodded for Letty to begin.

"After I moved to LA, I met these great people, the Torettos, I practically lived at their house because my dad was always working. A lot of shit happened between their family and my own, well I guess my dad. But I ended up being a part of their family because their parents died, and my dad died of cancer when I was about 16. Ever since then Dom has taken care of me, he's Mr. Toretto's son, me, him, and his sister Mia lived together ever since then."

"Wow," was all the doctor could get out, after that staying silent. Letty took this as a sign to go on, so she did.

"Somehow, we got into this street racing thing, we had a garage and a store so it wasn't too hard to keep up with the racing community. Leon and Jesse came to us and became a part of our family at some point over the years. Jesse is like our mad scientist, he knows everything there is to know about cars. He's like a genius. With his help, we became like the royal family of street racing. Dom was the king, I was the queen, and the others were princes and princesses."

Letty almost laughed at the comparison she had just made, it was true, but it sounded funny when said out loud. The doctor looked at her intently. "Why do I have the feeling you're not telling me something?" she questioned.

"Because I'm not," Letty answered simply.

The doctor nodded, signaling for Letty to go on. She didn't pressure her or hurry her, she could see the pain that this particular memory was causing. I guess I better get ready to hear the reason she came to me in the first place.

"Our family, consisted of six people, Dom, Mia, me, Leon, Jesse, and…" Letty trailed off.

The doctor made no moved to prompt her, she knew that if Letty was going to talk, she would do it on her own.

"And Vince," Letty finished finally. But she didn't wait to get the doctor's go ahead this time, she just continued.

"Vince had grown up with Dom, and he was part of our family from the beginning. Even before Leon and Jesse. A few months ago, when we were still in LA, we got into a car accident," she lied.

There was a short moment of silence, then she resumed, "We had met this guy named Brian a few months before that, and he had become part of our family too. So there were seven of us. We were traveling in different cars, so not everyone got hurt. Only me and Vince. I wasn't too badly hurt, just a few broken ribs, cuts and bruises, you know, the works. But Vince…oh god Vince…"

She stopped again, silent tears steadily streaming down her face, "He…he lost too much blood. The day after we brought him to the hospital he died."

Letty started to sob, barely being able to breathe. The doctor went to her side, and Letty buried her head in the doctor's shoulder. "We couldn't take it, we just packed up and left. God Sandy I miss him so much. He was like my big brother, always taking care of me. I went to him whenever Dom did something retarded, which was a lot. But anyway, I was so lost, I think I still kinda am. Though not is much as I was before. I didn't know what to do. Oh my God Vince…poor Vince…"

"Shhhh, calm down Let. It's gonna be ok," the no longer nameless doctor said.

Sandy broke away from Letty and went to get her some water. She came back in a flash and gave her the cup.

"Thank you," Letty said through sniffles. Her sobs had calmed and her tears were silent once more.

"That's what I'm here for right?" Sandy said with a smile. She sat down next to Letty and decided it her was turn to talk.

"Well a lot of things happened after you left, but it's too much for me to just sum up. And anyway this is your session. So maybe we can get together sometime."

"Hey I have an idea, why don't you just come over for dinner tonight? I would love for you to meet my family. And we can talk forever. And if we get too drunk and you can't leave, you can sleep in one of the many bedrooms we don't use," Letty said with a small laugh.

"That's a great idea. Only I don't get drunk because I usually end up taking care of the drunk people. So I might end up staying over anyway. What time should I be there?" Sandy asked.

"Umm, around eightish?"

"I'll be there, so now, tell me about this Dom character," she said with a small smile playing at her lips.

"Oh God, where should I start?" Letty joked.

"Where ever you want, I have all day," Sandy looked at her watch, "Ok, so I only have like 2 hours but still, a lot of time. So get going. I wanna hear about this hunk of yours,' she said laughing.

Letty let out a breath, "Ok, well Dom and I met when I moved to LA, I was eight, and he was 13, so I was basically the last thing on his mind at the time. But from the moment I laid eyes on him I was in love. To me he was the epitome of perfection. So naturally, I was always around him like a little puppy dog. And he loved cars, just like I did, and that made me love him even more. Anyways, so my feelings weren't really reciprocated until I was 16 and he finally noticed me. That's another story all together. But ever since then, we've been together, we've had our share of arguments and all that shit. In the end, we always end up together."

"Sounds like some kind of fucked up fairytale, no offense."

"Don't worry, none taken, I think that the term 'fucked up fairytale' is putting it a little lightly," Letty responded with a smile.

After that, Letty told Sandy a few more stories, about her and Dom, about the crew, all of them light and funny. Before they knew it, it was time for Letty to go.

"Damn Let, where has the time gone!" Sandy commented while looking at her watch.

"I guess I better be going, huh?" Letty asked.

"Yea, I'll go with you outside, I wanna meet your dream guy," Sandy winked at Letty and smiled big.

They got up from their chairs and went to the door, opening it and going into the lobby.

Dominic stood up immediately when he saw the doctor's office door open, he was walking towards it as soon as he saw Letty and another woman; which he presumed to be the doctor; walk out.

Letty smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss when he got to them, "Hey baby, I want you to meet someone," she said happily.

Dom mirrored her own happy smile, he was happy that she was happy, "Sure."

Letty pointed toward the doctor, "This is Sandra DelCastillo, my doctor. She also happens to be my best friend from Jersey." Letty was absolutely beaming, she found her long lost friend.

"It really is a small world huh?" Dom said as he went to shake her hand. He was surprised when he did, her grip was strong, stronger than he would imagine for someone as petite as her.

"You have a strong grip Sandra," he commented.

Sandy laughed, "Call me Sandy and yes I know." They all laughed at her remark. "Well I guess I'll see you later tonight Let."

"Definitely," Letty answered, she kissed Sandy's cheek and said her goodbyes, and Dom led her out to the parking lot.

*******************************************************************

They walked out of the building together and got to the car, "She's nice," Dom said opening the door.

"Yea she's—" Letty collapsed before she could finish her sentence.
