OMG, it's been long time, but I'm finally getting to this. =)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For three days Letty was in denial about the things Priya had told her. It was just impossible. She didn't say anything though, and Priya didn't come back either. When time for her to go home came around, she had basically accomplished nothing. Letty didn't know what to believe, who to believe, or what to do. Things were starting to get so confusing again, and Letty hated not being in control.
Finally, it was time for her to go home. She would still be sore for a while, but she could do a lot on her own, because she had spent so much time at the hospital. "Home," Letty breathed when she got into the house.
Dom wrapped his arms around her, and buried his face in her hair. "Hey baby, you need help getting upstairs?"
Letty got pissed of at his comment. "No I do not need help getting upstairs. I can do it myself. Thank you very much," she bit back. The she wiggled out of his grasp and started walking up to her room.
As soon as she got inside, she knew all she wanted to do was lay in her bed and fall asleep. The journey up the stairs was in itself tiring, and the doctor said that she would still be needing a lot of rest. Losing her baby and Priya coming to bother her was really taking a toll on Letty. She was starting to think she was going to lose it, or maybe she had already lost it.
The huge bed looked inviting and soft, much more welcoming than the hospital bed she had been sleeping in for the past three weeks. Letty made her way to the bed with sleepy eyes, yearning for the plush comforter that was on top of it. As carefully as she could, she laid herself down, and promptly fell asleep. Hoping for a dreamless slumber.
~*Dream*~
"Mommy? Can I wide in the caw wif daddy?" her little girl asked.
Letty was smiling, her baby had always had a keen interest in cars, just like her mommy. "Of course you can honey," Letty answered. She looked at Dom, that was getting in the car, "Dom!! Sophie wants to go with you in the car." Letty yelled to him, still smiling.
Dom grinned, and came over to her and Sofia, taking Sofia in his arms. "So you wanna go take a ride with daddy?" he said to her.
Sofia nodded emphatically, and Dom laughed. He put her down and took her tiny hand in his huge one. Dom took small steps, so that she could keep up with him, it was the cutest thing in the world to an on looking Letty. He got her into the car, then went to the other side and got in himself.
She watched as the two people she loved most in the world started to drive away. The she realized there was someone else in the car with them, it was Priya. The love of her life was driving away with her worst enemy, and taking her baby with him. She was in shock, but something told her she could do nothing about it.
"I love you Dom," she whispered to the disappearing car, one lone tear running down her face.
~*End Dream*~
Letty shot up with a jerk, hurting her still-healing body instantly. She winced and slowed down her body, it wasn't until then that she realized she was crying. Letty wiped the tears away quickly. She finally knew what she was going to do, what she had to do. She got up from the bed and walked over to her closet, her suitcase was there, she decided she had to leave.
The closet was neat, Mia had probably cleaned the whole house a million times in the few months they had lived there. Letty found the suitcase easily, rolled it out of the closet as swiftly and quietly as she could. As soon as it was on the floor and open, Letty hurriedly started stuffing clothes in it, as much as she could, and when she was done, she pushed the suitcase closed, and put it in the upright position so she could wheel it out.
After she was finished taking all that she could, she gathered her other things: lip gloss, a few pictures, a few pieces of jewelry, and other little things that she considered important and could fit in her backpack.
Then finally she sat down at her small desk to write a note to Dom:
Dear Dom,
I'm really sorry about everything that has happened. It's like all the crazy shit in the world that could happen, happened to us. I'm also sorry about not telling you about the baby. It was stupid of me, and I know I hurt you. I'm sorry for being a bitch to you all those times when it wasn't your fault. I'm sorry for being evasive and distant for so long, but I hope you understand I was just really confused about all this shit. All those times I was out and you wondered where I was, it was not what you thought. I would never cheat on you, and you know that. (Or should know that.) Whenever I wasn't going to the doctor's, I really would be going for drives. It always calmed me down, it always cleared my mind. Sometimes I would drive for so long, that I would have to end up staying in a hotel for the night. I'm sorry I never told you this, but believe me I tried, and the few times I actually said something, you didn't quite believe me. I am so sorry for all these things, but I am the most sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. I want you to know that I love you Dom, that I always will. Maybe one day we'll meet again, maybe it's destiny that we have to be together. But I can't stay here any longer, and I'm sorry for that too.
Love Always,
Letty
PS. Please don't look for me Dom, please just try to be happy and learn to live without me, as I must learn to live without you.
By the time she finished her letter, it was tear stained, and she was shaking. Letty knew that she was going to have to be strong and go on with her life, no matter how hard that was going to be. She folded the letter and put it on the dresser, where he would surely see it. She tossed her wallet into her backpack along with the rest of her stuff, and grabbed her keys.
She walked out of her room, and went down the back stairs, making sure not to make too much noise. The rest of the team was nowhere in sight, so she was home free. Letty got to the underground garage a few minutes later, and reached her 240SX.
At first she struggled to get the suitcase into the trunk, but finally she got it up and in. Letty shut the trunk and got into the driver's seat, throwing her backpack into the seat next to her. She turned the car on and drove away, in a matter of seconds, Letty was gone from their lives, probably forever.
