Dom's POV:
I'm back at my house now. I just returned from Letty's a few minutes ago and now I'm sitting on the edge of my bed waiting. No one knows what happened yet. No one but me. I couldn't even tell Letty while I was at her house tonight. I'm afraid of the way she would look at me. I don't know why I care so much about her but I'm through trying to pretend like I don't. She doesn't know anything about it. Mia was there too but she didn't see it. She was out by the trailer talking to Vince and Leon. She wasn't there to see all of it happen. Just a week ago at the last race my dad would ever race in. The scene plays over and over in my head. I keep seeing my father's car driving getting ran into the wall. I keep hearing the screams. The same screams that everyone said were mine. Then I see the fear in Lindor's eyes as I beat him with the torque wrench just yesterday. All of it is why I asked Letty to wait for me. I'm not going to run from it. I don't see the point but I know that they will come for me soon and then Mia will know. I groan when I suddenly realize Letty will know too. I stand up and leave my room. I need a drink so I walk down to the kitchen and grab a corona out of the fridge. I open and take a sip of it as I stare out the window toward the garage where my dad taught me everything he knew about cars and life. I look up toward Mia's room and sigh. Who's going to take care of her while I was gone? What was I thinking when I went looking for that guy like that? It was crazy. I have to call Vince. He'll take care of Mia until I get back. I hope Letty will be okay and I hope she keeps her promise to wait for me. I need her more now than I ever have before but I can't tell her. At least not now.
Letty's POV:
I wake up a few hours later and get dressed. My plan is to go to the Torretto's and ask Mia what's up with Dom. The scene meets me outside is the last thing I expected. Down the street, in front of the Torretto's house is a police car and two police men are putting Dom into the backseat. I glance down and see the handcuffs on his wrists before running as fast as I can down the street. I stop by the car and our eyes meet right before the police officers climb into the car and speed off down the street. I watch the car moving away from me until it turns the corner and is out of site. My eyes move quickly to the house and I see Vince holding Mia in the doorway while she cries into his shirt. I run over to her and wrap my arms around her, pulling her away from Vince as I hug her. Vince smiles nervously at me and stares down at the floor.
"Vince, where are they taking Dom?", I ask demandingly while he stares down at the ground and tries to avoid my question. I notice what he's doing and repeat my question louder this time. He looks up at me and then over at Mia who breaks away from the hug and runs upstairs to her room.
Vince sighed and finally began to tell me what happened. "Mr. Torretto died at a race almost two weeks ago, Letty", he said quietly. I glared at him angrily. Why didn't anyone tell me? Why didn't Dom tell me last night? All of them knew how much I care about everyone in this family but they still didn't tell me.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?", I ask him as he looks out toward the street like he's planning on running away to escape my questions. Like there is something he wants to hide from me.
"Letty, Dom did something bad. Really bad. See, the accident at the race wasn't an accident. Well, Dom didn't see it as one. This other racer, Lindor ran Mr. Torretto into the wall. About a week later Dom ran into Lindor. He had been returning that Acura NSX to the owners. Dom had a wrench in the back seat and he...", he pauses, looking into my eyes pleadingly. I glare at him and cross my arms over my chest.
"What did Dom do, Vince?", I ask him as I stare into his eyes. He stares back into mine and for a second I think he's not going to tell me. He looks like he's just going to run out of here and I'm always going to have to wander why the cops took Dom away but then he sighs and I know he's going to tell me.
"He almost beat Lindor to death with the wrench.", he says and I know that I must look like I'm about to fall because suddenly he is beside me with his hand on my shoulder, asking if I'm going to be okay.
Dom's POV:
I'm lying in my cell at Lompoc staring up at the small window into the dark sky. I know she must know everything by now. Knowing Letty, if she couldn't find out why the police took him away by just asking people she would have beat it out of someone. I smile for the first time at the image of her beating up Vince for information. I close my eyes and think back on that last night with her. I wanted to tell her then but I couldn't. I couldn't stand to see the look in her eyes. It seems like the only thing I'm afraid of anymore is losing her. The only thing keeping me from going crazy in this place is my memories of her. I'm afraid that when I get back she won't be able to forgive me like I need her to. I keep wandering if all she'll see is a monster. I sigh and close my eyes. I have to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be another long day in hell without Letty.
Letty's POV:
I run as fast as I can back to my house after Vince tells me what happened. I run up to my room and slam the door, locking it before walking over to the same corner where Dom was sitting the night before. I sit down in the same place and look down at the floor. I don't know what to think or what to do. He almost killed a guy. I would have never guessed that Dom could do something like that. I loved Mr. Torretto and it hurts me that he's gone but still I can't understand Dom's pain. I'm so confused right now. None of it makes any sense. How could he do something like that to someone but be as gentle to me as he was last night. I don't understand any of it and I probably never will but I'm going to keep my promise and wait for him. Maybe he'll explain it to me when someday.
