I don't wanna be mean so here's the next part…

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

"When I WHAT Dominic? Answer me!" Letty yelled when he didn't say anything.

"Nothing, nothing! Just forget it!" Dominic yelled back.

"Fine whatever, go back to talking to your skank Dom, cuz I don't give a fuck anymore!" Letty stormed off, leaving Dom seething in the kitchen, with everyone who had watched their fight.

"Letty come back here. Come back here!" Dom screamed at her back, he felt déjà vu, since he had said the exact same thing that night at the club. He went after her, but quickly lost track of her in the masses of people. "FUCK!"

"Hey Dom, where's Letty?" Mia asked coming up to him.

"I don't know where Letty is!" Dom snapped, and rushed up the stairs to his room.

"What's up his ass," Mia said to herself, then decided to just look for Brian.

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

It was 3 AM and Letty was no where to be seen, Dom had waited all the time, in a chair. He was still sitting there, listening to the party that was still going on downstairs. Maybe she's down there, maybe she didn't leave, she's just down there having a good time, Dom thought a little bitterly.

"You know what, fuck this. Letty told me she didn't give a fuck what I did, so I'm not gonna sit here like a dumbass and wait till she feels like coming up." Dom got up from the chair and stretched, then swiftly walked to the door, to join the party once again.

"Hey Dom, whereya been?" Wally asked when Dom reached the landing.

"Around," was Dom's only reply, and he walked towards the kitchen to get a Corona.

"Dom, I been lookin' for you, where the hell is Let? I been lookin' for her everywhere and I can't find her," Sandy asked when he got his head out of the refrigerator.

"I don't know where she is. Probably out," Dom said coldly, and turned away from her.

Sandy grabbed his shoulder, "Dom you okay?"

"I'm fine." He didn't wait for her to reply before walking away.

"Talk about rude," Sandy muttered. She quickly got back to her dancing and melted into the party.

Dom walked straight out the front door and into his car, driving away, not really knowing where he was going. He drove aimlessly for a couple of hours, then realized that he had actually driven all the way to Priya's apartment. "Ah what the hell, I might as well go in, it's not like I have anywhere to be," he whispered to himself.

Even though it was very late, the doorman let him in because he had seen Dom before. When Dom got to Priya's apartment there was no one there, I wonder where she went, he thought. Oh well, I'll just leave a note.

Hey Pri,

I'm really sorry about what happened at the races, I shouldn't have acted like such a jerk. I hope to see you around some time. Maybe you can straighten out your shit with Let. Take care.

-Dom

He slid the small piece of paper under her door and left, deciding to go home, since it was almost six in the morning. By the time he got home it was seven and everything was pretty quiet, but the house was…trashed. We'll get someone to clean it, cuz I know this is a job way too big for Mia.

Dom stumbled up the stairs, he hadn't slept since Thursday night, and it was Saturday morning. He opened the door to his room, and saw that Letty was sleeping on their bed. She had obviously slept fitfully because the sheets were all rumpled around her. He climbed in beside her, but made sure that they were not touching, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

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

Barely four hours later Dom woke up to Letty's glaring eyes. "Where the fuck have you been?" was the first thing she said to him.

"What the fuck do you care?" Dom retorted. Knowing that Letty wouldn't say anything, Dom continued. "Where were you? Because I'm damn sure you weren't here."

"I went out," Letty replied simply.

"And you have the nerve to ask me where I went?! When you just barely got home a 3 AM? When you can't even tell me where you went?" Dom was completely pissed off now, Letty had some balls.

"You got home at 7 AM Dom! Seven in the morning!!!!" Letty screamed.

"You know what, I don't have to take this shit. I don't," Dom declared walking to the bathroom. When he got inside he slammed the door behind him, and heard Letty slam the door to their room.

"What's wrong Let?" Mia said when she saw Letty stomp into the kitchen.

"Nothing, Dominic's bein' an asshole again."

Mia knew that when Letty called Dom "Dominic" she was really pissed off, so she just stayed out of it. Mia had learned not to interfere a long time ago, the hard way too. She went back to getting breakfast ready and Letty turned on the TV to some Spanish channel.

"You made any coffee?" Letty grumbled.

"Not yet, I just woke up. Damn, that party last night was crazy. Where were you? I didn't see you for most of the night."

"Me and Dom had a fight, so I left."

Again, Mia chose the safe route and let go of the subject, handing Letty a cup of coffee instead. "Here."

"That was fast," Letty said with a small, but grateful, smile.

"Yea that coffee maker's good."

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

Dom got out of the shower and quickly threw on some clothes, wanting to fix things with Letty. I shouldn't have gone off on her like that, he thought. She went off on you too…

Letty's clothes were in a pile on the floor next to the bed, and Dom went to pick them up. He threw them on the bed deciding on folding them and making the bed later, and he started walking towards the door. After the first step he felt something under his foot, so he stopped and moved his foot out of the way to see what it was. Dominic picked up the little metal thing, and it turned out to be a lighter, with the initials "T.R." on it. "Who the hell is 'T.R.'?" he asked, questioning no one in particular.

This time Dom didn't break down and cry, this time he was stronger, this time he was ready for anything. But he wasn't going to just stand there, he couldn't just stand there, so he left. Once again, he went to drive aimlessly on the streets of Acapulco.

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

Mia and Letty were still in the kitchen when they heard the front door slam. "What was that?" Mia asked, startled.

"I have no idea," Letty answered tiredly, and went back to sipping her coffee. A minute later they heard the purr of a modified engine and tires squealing. Mia made French toast, scrambled eggs, and sausage for breakfast. The guys came in like zombies, smelling the food from all the way upstairs, everyone except Dom.

"Where's Dom at?" Sandy asked curiously.

"I think he left," was all Letty said.

"Oh, cuz yesterday he was askin' for you and then when I told him I didn't know where you were he got all PMSy and hurried off."

"I guess he's PMSy today too," Letty said nonchalantly.

They ate in silence, all of them tired, hungover, and extremely hungry. Scarfing down food at amazing speeds, like it was going to run away if they didn't eat fast enough. After they finished eating, Leon, Giovanni, and Jesse went to the game room to waste time, as always. The girls stayed in the kitchen, talking and cleaning up.

"What's up with Dom?" Jen asked, back to her sweet quiet self.

"I don't know, but I'm really tired, I think I'm gonna go back to sleep," Letty said, avoiding the subject. She ducked out of the kitchen and went back upstairs to bed, Letty went to her side of the bed and felt her foot hit something as she got to the edge. "Aww fuck it," she muttered, ignoring it, and getting into bed.

She felt a sudden urge to vomit, and ran to the bathroom just in time to empty the contents of her stomach in the toilet bowl. "I forgot to take my damn pills again," Letty said angrily. She walked back to bed on shaky legs and took the pills on her night table, then went to sleep again.

Letty dreamt vividly as she slept. "Swimming, swimming, when can I stop swimming? No! Dom! No, I don't wanna leave Dom! Please, don't make me leave! Why am I swimming away? No, stop swimming Letty, why are you leaving?" suddenly Letty wasn't swimming anymore, she was dripping, but the landscape was dry. She heard children playing, but it was so far away, and she was alone. "Where am I? Where is everyone?" She walked, but she wasn't going anywhere, something was pushing her, but she couldn't move forward. "No, no, leave me alone, why cant you just let me go!!" she shouted at the nothingness.

"Nooooo! Leave me alone!!! Let me go!" Letty woke up drenched in sweat, panting, and her heart racing.
