I can't believe I got so many reviews!!!!!! I'm so happy! I'm gonna cry, lol. I'm soooooo glad you guys like my story. Here goes the next chapter.

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

Dom flew back to the house after Sandy threw him out of her apartment. He was totally furious, "Where the hell did she go then?!?!?!" Frustration was something he had been feeling a lot those past two weeks, and he was about to go completely crazy.

He got back to the house in record time, about ten minutes. Quickly parking and locking the garage he ran back to the house. Suddenly he got he got an idea, to call her cell phone. Why didn't I think of that before, he thought. Dom ran to the nearest phone and started to punch in the numbers. 5…3…0…6…1…9…1…9…8…8

After what seemed like hours, the phone started to ring. Letty picked up on the first ring, "Hello?!" her voice seemed urgent.

"Letty where the hell are you?" Dom immediately yelled.

"Please Dom, don't yell at me," she said tiredly.

Dom's voice softened when he heard her tone and his rage turned to alarm, "Letty, baby, are you okay? What happened? Are you okay?"

"Yea Dom I'm okay, I'll be home in a few," she said weakly.

Dom nodded, then realized she couldn't see him so quickly said, "Okay."

Letty hung up the phone and Dom stayed listening to the dead air for awhile before hanging up as well. What's wrong now? Dom thought worriedly.

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

Letty sat in her car gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles were white. She was tired and felt like she was going to throw up at any moment. I shouldn't of left like that yesterday, she thought. Well I guess it's time to face Dom…

She got to the house ten minutes after she talked to Dom and went into the garage. The week before they had received a letter from Casey saying that he wanted to give them a gift. The next day six people came to the house, they were driving the Team's cars. 'Casey wanted these delivered to you,' was the only thing one of the men had said.

So Letty got what she had been secretly longing for, her Nissan 240 SX, in mint condition too. It was exactly as she had left it, the only difference being that Casey had all the cars cleaned.

Casey had Vince's car delivered too, with a note saying, "I thought you all would want to have this." Letty had cried a lot that night, and she didn't want the team to see her upset, so she decided to sleep at Sandy's house.

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

Dom jumped up when he heard the front door open. He was there in a flash, and caught Letty very much by surprise. He noticed something off about her, like she was uncomfortable in her own home. She's hiding something.

"Letty…you look pale, are you okay?"

"Yea I'm fine, must be the meds or somethin'…look, we need to talk," she said quietly.

Dom nodded and followed her upstairs to the small living room, Damn why didn't she just pick the downstairs living room, this is taking too long.

Finally, they got to their destination, Letty sat down and Dom followed suit. He turned to look at her he was met with troubled eyes, eyes that were keeping something from him. I wanna know what she's hiding. I wanna know why this is happening.

Dom was about to speak but Letty gestured for him to stop, "No Dom, I wanna talk first." He nodded in consent and let her continue.

"Okay, well as you know I haven't really been around much lately. And I know you guys think that I'm abandoning you. I'm sorry, I really am. It's just that…I don't know…lately I've felt like I need to get away you know?" Letty looked desperate for him to believe her.

Dom nodded for her to go on, "Ever since I was eight, you, Mia, and Vince, have been the constant in my life. Mia was the one I stole clothes from, you were and still are the one I love, and Vince…well Vince was the one I talked to when you fucked up. He was my big brother, the only person close to a brother I had ever had. When he died I felt like a piece of me died with him. I needed to go out, have fun, forget. If I would've done that with you guys, it wouldn't have been the same. Being with you…all of you…makes me remember. And right now I don't need that."

Letty didn't speak again after that, and Dom took it as a cue for him to say something. "Letty, I can't say I understand, because I know that me and Vince had a totally different relationship. But I can say that I feel your pain, he was my brother too, I loved him too, and even though this might sound odd, I went to him when I was having problems with you."

"I know Dom.." Letty said, but Dom wasn't finished.

"The only thing I wanna know is why you left so suddenly yesterday, who the person on the phone was, and why you didn't even call."

Letty looked like a deer in headlights, that was the last thing she was expecting at the moment. "Uhh, I went to Sandy's house. She umm…called with an umm…emergency."

"Where did you sleep?"

"At her house of course!" Letty said with a nervous laugh.

"Oh…okay. Well I have to go to work on my car, so I'll see you later. The guys are in the back," he got up and hurried out the door.

That was two lies in a row, now Dom had a reason to be suspicious. He didn't feel like fighting with her at the moment. He figured that she was just working out some of her problems. If she needs help she'll come to us…or go to Sandy.

Dom was still bitter, first she steals his girlfriend, and then she punches him! He barely even touched her, and she just punched him. Well whatever, she has a weak punch…it won't leave a mark.

He decided getting out of there was his best option, he was afraid of what he would do if she lied to him again. For the time being he was just going to let things flow, he didn't want to fight and push her farther away. Sooner or later she'll come clean, I just have to give her time…at least I hope so.
