The only thing I own in this story is Jezebeil Marks, I make no money out of this whatsoever and this is for my own fun. Everything else belongs to Universal studios and the wonderful people who brought us The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious. Thanks so much to Laura for all her encouragement! And also, the title is actually the title of a song, 'In My Eye's by Milk inc. I love that song and I thought it'd make an ok title.
A/n: You guys are so kick ass with your reviews! It'll be a couple of more chapters before you find out who Jezzie is gonna end up with. Heh, I know, I'm cruel, huh? So here's chapter & 9, I hope you like!
Silvia stared out the window. She knew Leon still had feelings for Jezzie deep down, and now that she was back, she wasn't sure if there was any room for her.
"I know what you think Sil, but it ain't true. There's always room for you and there always will be. I may not be fully over her, but you da only girl for me." Leon said, snapping her out of her thoughts. She looked over at Leon and smiled.
"Thanks Leon, it's just what I wanted to hear. Plus, I doubt you could get her back, she looks pretty happy with that new man of hers." Silvia said, smiling. Leon laughed and nodded.
"She sure does. And she deserves it." But on the inside Leon wanted to kick the shit out of the guy for touching her. She did seem happy, and that's what Leon wanted, but Leon wanted her to be happy with him, not some other guy.
Dom was confused. There she was, a new team, a new life, and a new guy. It seemed like she just started over. Like she just forgot about everything they had been through together. Dom slammed the steering wheel and cursed. The last 3, almost 4 months, without her had been hell. She was a part of the team and she took off without an explanation why. And now it seemed as if she had been in Miami having the time of her life. Dom didn't care if she came back or not; he just wanted to know why she left. He wanted to know if the last 10 years had meant nothing and that everything she ever said was a lie.
He had spent every minute he could, looking for her and there she was in Miami living it up with a new guy and a new life. And that guy...what the hell? There was something about him that Dom didn't like. He looked to...gang-like. Listen to me, Dom thought. He scoffed at himself. I sound like I'm jealous.
Suddenly his stomach was in his throat. He pulled up to the line and looked down at her car. Jealous? Dominic Toretto, Jealous? He shook his head and looked at the road ahead. There was no way he could win tonight with everything on his mind. He closed his eyes and thought for a minute.
Rome got out of the car and walked over to the driver's side. J rolled the window down and Rome leaned his head in and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Be careful baby girl. Don't let your emotions get in your way; it's a race. Just a race, remember that." J nodded and Rome walked away. J turned her head and watched Dom a few cars down. He didn't seem to be battling any emotions, but that was Dom for you. J turned her head and stared at the long road ahead of her. She had a thought and turned on her CD player, the CD was already in so she just pushed the next button a few times and she found the song. It was a song that explained it all, in her mind. She turned the bass on and let it pump out of her CD player.
I'm wide awake, It's time to make it on my own, Wide awake, The dream is over
Letty was standing on the side of the street, closest to Jez and she could hear the music coming out of her car. She knew the group was Milk Inc, Jez used to play their music all the time. Whenever they would have a cleaning day or just a lounge around day or just a boring day, Jez would put their CD in and would turn it up loud and dance around the garage or the store or the house. She always knew how to make people laugh.
Letty actually missed listening to their music, when Jez left she took all of her CDs, leaving nothing for them to remember her by. No music, barely any pictures, nothing.
"Except the memories." Letty muttered. She wiped a tear from her eye.
I'm wide awake, It's time to make it on my own, Time to find my way back home, The dream is over. I'm wide awake...
Mia watched as Letty wiped a tear from her eye, causing Mia to feel the tears dripping down her face. So many memories with her. Mia smiled as she remembered all the times Jez would help her out at the store. They always seemed to have fun in that store, no matter what. She wiped the tears away as she listened to the words in the song.
There's no story left to tell, No answers left to find, There's no use in looking back at what's been left behind. No more dancing in the dark, No promise left to break, The road ahead is waiting for the steps that I should take...
Mia knew that Jez only listened to songs that she could relate with or if she just really liked the lyrics. Mia watched as a girl in short shorts and a barely there shirt walked to the middle of the line and held her hands above her head. All four cars revved their engines, flames shooting out the back. The girl dropped her arms and they were off.
Dom took the lead with Brian behind him, Jez behind him, and Edwin in last.
I'm wide awake, It's time to make it on my own, Wide awake, The dream is over.
Leon and Silvia sat in Leon's skyline, waiting for when the four racers would speed past his car. A few seconds later the cars were only flashes of Red, Silver, Green, and Red. Silvia leaned her head out the window and watched as Jez sped past Brian.
I'm wide awake, It's time to make it on my own, Time to find my way back home, The dream is over. I'm wide awake...
Vince sat up on the hood of his car as the cars steadily approached. Even though Dom was his bro, he was secretly cheering Jez on. Vince figured that even Dom was cheering Jez on. They didn't see many girl racers on there, and the few that did race never had a chance of beating Dom, although Letty came close to once. Jez was the only girl, pretty much the only person that had ever beaten Dom.
There's no letter left to write, No captains left to Kirk, There's no use in going back to what would never work... No more dancing in the rain, No promise left to break, The road ahead is waiting for the steps that I should take...
Vince figured they hit their NOS when he realized they were coming in fast. Vince stood up when he saw Jez's green car slowly passing Dom's red one.
"Come on!" Vince screamed as they inched closer and closer to the finish line. Everyone let up a loud cheer as Jez passed over the finish line a toe ahead of Dom.
I'm wide awake, It's time to make it on my own, Wide awake, The dream is over
Dom hit his steering wheel and slowed his car down quickly. Before he knew it everyone was down at the finish, cheering all four racers as they got out of their cars. Everyone walked over to Jez's car as she slowly got out, no smile on her face, no frown, just a blank expression. Brian walked over to her and picked her up by her waist, twirling her around, making her laugh and then he put her down. She flashed a huge smile as Hector handed her the money.
I'm wide awake, It's time to make it on my own, Time to find my way back home, The dream is over. I'm wide awake...
"Congrats J, you deserve it." Hector said as he gave her a hug. "You're the only person ever known to beat Dominic Toretto. You should get an award of some kind girl." Everyone burst out in laughter. Dom felt his face getting red. Jez looked at Dom and smiled. She walked over to him and gave him a big hug, which surprised him and those around. She pulled away and winked at him.
"It was nice to actually race someone who had talent and wasn't a dumbass loser. The racers in Miami suck, pretty much." Everybody laughed and Jez went to stand by her car.
"Well it's nice to have you back Jez. Everybody missed you." Edwin said as he walked up. Jez thought for a minute but smiled and nodded her head.
"It's good to be back. Now...a little birdie told me there'd be a party..." She said. Letty laughed and nodded her head.
"Always J! Always!" Everybody got in their cars and some people headed over to the Toretto's for a party, while the others headed out to different clubs in the area. Rome pushed through the crowd and got in on the passengers side of J's car. She smiled at him.
"Way to go J. I'm proud of you." He leaned over and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"Thanks Ro. It feels nice to be racing again." She turned the car on with a flick of her wrist and another Milk Inc song, 'Breathe Without You', came pumping out of the CD player. She turned it down and followed Letty's car to the Toretto house.
"You ok now?" Rome asked as they neared the Toretto house.
"Yeah. I'm feeling pretty good."
