See? Didn't take that long. =)

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

The turbulence in the air plane didn't even phase him, and it was horrible, Dom was only worried about one thing on this trip. By the time the phone call had ended two days before, a flicker of hope had ignited in his heart, and it was enough to give him strength again. Now he was headed to New York City…the big apple…the city that never sleeps, the place that would breathe life into him again.

"Passengers fasten your seatbelts, we will be landing in five minutes," said an automated voice through the intercom.

His movements were mechanical, no human qualities graced his limber fingers as he did what was instructed. And exactly five minutes later they were landing at John F. Kennedy Airport, just like the disembodied voice had said. The decent was quick and uneventful, the only thing that went through Dom's head was that he would finally get to see Letty again.

~Flashback-2 years before~

Dom walked into the bedroom he shared with Letty expecting to find her sleeping form on the bed. He was shocked to see that she wasn't there, and decided to look for her. The bathroom was empty, the balcony—empty, he went to the walk-in closet, it was empty and missing some of her clothes.

"What the hell?" he muttered going to sit on the bed, utterly confused.

After sitting dumbfounded for a few minutes he looked up and noticed the white folded note on the dresser. Dom went to pick it up and turned it around gingerly in his hands before opening it. He looked curiously at the tear stains on the paper, there was no name, but he figured since it was in his room, it was for him, probably from Letty.

He opened the letter slowly, afraid of what new problems it might bring. It was definitely from Letty, her elegant handwriting shone black, a great contrast to the stark white paper. Yet Dom still wondered what it might be pertaining to, having no idea what was really to come. Tentatively, he began reading the short letter:

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.

Letty's tear stains were covered by Dom's by the time he finished reading her short note. He felt as if he had failed her, the person who meant the most to him in the whole world. In his heart Dom knew that Letty had gone for good, but his stubborn head told him that she would be back soon enough, not to worry too much because she would surely be back.

And two months passed before Dom actually did anything, it haunted him that maybe if he would have done something sooner, he would have found her.

~End Flashback~

Thinking back, Dom didn't understand why it took him so long to realize that she had gone. Her clothes were gone, and she was no where to be found, and there was a note on their dresser. What else could that add up to? He had been such an idiot, and now he was paying the price for being such a pompous asshole.

The airport was crowded, and he didn't want to have to stay there for longer than necessary. He went to bag pick-up and got the small amount of luggage that he had brought with him. Dom would have to buy some winter clothes anyway, considering that he had lived in Puerto Rico for so long, and it was September in New York. After getting his luggage together he went to catch a taxi to the hotel he had booked a room at.

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

Dom chose a huge hotel because it would be easy to get in and out without too many people paying attention to him. When the taxi got to the front, a bell boy opened the door to let him out. The cabby popped the trunk and the bell boy quickly got to taking out Dom's things. Dominic payed the cabby and walked into the hotel behind the suited young man.

"A lady called and left you a message, sir," a lady at the counter said, after he had asked for his room. She handed him a neatly written note and went to get his keys. Dominic read it quietly, waiting for her to get back.

Hey Dom,

I sent over your new car, so you can get around and go to the races and stuff. Don't worry, it's fully taken care of. Just ask for your deliveries at the front desk and they'll give you the keys.

-Brian

He sighed, knowing that he would be going out that very night, because that's just what he did. Dom searched non-stop, but this time, this time he was going to find her once and for all. And she wasn't going to leave again, he was going to make everything right, so she wouldn't have to leave him again.
