A/N: I'm Sorry!! I had this in my english spiral and I never took it home.
And I'm sorry it might not be so good. But I PROMISE I'll make it up since
all the good stuff is just beginning. I'm SORRY ALL OF YOU faithful readers
out there. To name all of you would just take up too much time, but you all
know who you are and I LOVE YOU ALL!! Ok, ON WITH THE STORY!!
"Happy Birthday," Letty said carefully just above a whisper.
Tony stole a glance at Letty. How dare she say happy birthday! She walked out on them, on him. She missed fourteen years only to be raising another kid. And all of a sudden she comes into his life with this kid. Turning his world, and his father's world upside down, and still she had the courage to say 'happy birthday.'
"Glad you remember," Tony mutter sarcastically.
Letty's parental mode kicked in. Tony had the same look as Dom when something was bugging him. Surprised she remembered she momentarily forget [once again] about her oldest son. She smacked herself for thinking about Dom in the little time she might have to spend with her son.
"What's wrong?" Letty look at her...Dom's son. She saw her chocolate brown eyes, and straight blackish brown hair, but Dom's similar frame. There was no way of denying it. Antonio Javier Toretto was her son too.
"Where are we turning?" Tony ignored the question.
"Left, next stoplight. We're picking up Scott. Boy's worrying himself to death about his daddy..." Letty knew once she let the word 'daddy' slip she made a mistake.
"Are you worried too? Are you worried, that this Brian guy is hurt? Are you worried that my dad's hurt? Do you care that he was all fine until you came into the picture? Do you care that my dad's going to have to start over again? Do you even care that this is all your fault?" Tony snapped gradually until he was yelling.
"I didn't mean to hurt you..." Letty whispered trying to grab a hold of her hurting son.
Tony moved his arm away from Letty. "Yeah well you did," Tony said so quietly Letty almost didn't catch it.
There was a hint of desperateness hidden within Tony's tone. As if begging Letty to fix it. To fix a family she broke. To fix a life she left broken. To complete the team she was once a part of...and to break her new life.
"I can't handle this. Brian's in the hospital, Dom's back, and a son I haven't seen in fourteen years hates me." Letty let a lone tear make its way down her face as she watched the blurry scenery.
"You screwed up my dad's life. I don't give a fuck that you screwed me over, but damn my dad. You've known him your whole life. You know how my dad is to change. Here's the funny part. He hasn't moved on, and he thought you haven't either. So while my dad tries and lives a normal life, which by the damn way he doesn't, you're here enjoying with your perfect family. I've got news for you, touch my dad, or break his heart, consider Scott your only son," Tony growled out.
Once outside the house Tony saw a blonde hair blue eyed, with a Californian tan (A/N: is that possible?) boy run out of the house. The real only thing he had was Letty's complexion, and even then it was hard to tell.
"MOM!" The boy screamed jumping into the car.
"WATCH THE EQUPMENT. My dad will kill me if anything happens..." Tony mumbled the last part.
He couldn't have been older than Tony. He was probably 5'4 or 5'5'. The kid kept sniffling and Letty kept comforting her youngest son. Tony couldn't help but feel jealous. Sure he had Mia, and the rest of the team trying to bring him up when he was down, but it wasn't the same as a mom. It wasn't the same as Letty. He was about to tell them to shut up when his phone rang.
"What?" He answered the phone on speaker.
"Hey, hey T.J! Where you at Homie?" (A/N: Yes, I'm going to try and type out some slang, but I don't know nothing about it so please forgive me) "By the way, Happy Birthday Brah!" It was Ian his best friend since kindergarten.
"Wuddup money? I'm in cal-i-forn-i-a... my dad trippin. .. a yo I'm 'bout to head to the hospital right now...so much drama and I'm trippin'...Yo i gotta go peace."
"You ok over there T.J. I heard some shit in school saying you ol' man sent you 'way to boot camp. Oh and yeah, Ivan got jumped. Shit that kid was pushing without us and yeah. All merchandise was taken and he's in the hospital. Cops are questioning him right now," Ian sounded scared.
Letty looked at her oldest son surprised that he could be capable of drugs, of a life of a gang bangers. She always knew Dom knew everything going on in his street. He had ever even let anyone in the family touch drugs. Let alone his underage son, who just turned sixteen.
"How much merchandise?" Tony gulped taking the phone off of speaker.
"Fifty large," Ian drawled.
"FUCK!" Tony yelled causing everyone to jump.
"Here's the best part bro, Ivan's mad because we never showed. Roberto and all the rest of them are too. They want to jump us and we need the money or we're all dead!" Ivan said.
Tony gulped suddenly not feeling so good. 'At this rate I'm going to need to stay in the damn hospital,' he thought.
"Aiight, I got it. Give Raul 2 large. You know the one we was saving up for a new ride. Then I'll ask my dad for the rest. I'll work it off at the garage. Ian, man watch yo self. I ain't there to watch your back. You better be alive when I get back. Ya still owe me a birthday present," Tony joked nervously.
He knew that this may be his last time talking to his best friend. And once again bottom line was, if it wasn't for Letty, Tony would've been there to help.
"Hey, I'm going to be here waitin'. We homeboys for life! Todo para la familia!"
Tony gulped. They had reached the hospital. He wasn't dumb. He knew Ian was going to get hurt...if not killed. But they've been best friends. Together him as well as their own little gang had been through everything, as a family. "Todo para la familia, and Ian, man, I mean it. Tony said glancing at his mom. A/N: Well I was going to leave you guys there. But I haven't updated in a really long time so ill give you the rest of the other part.
Letty looked at Ton. It had a double meaning. Dom used to say it. When the team raced against each other he made them promise it stayed on the street. Anything and everything for the family. And now Letty realized it, Dom had given everything to the family, everyone except her have. All that stuff Tony said about them not having a normal life made Letty realize that it still may be better than hers. Vince, Leon, Jesse, Mia and especially Dom, would do anything for each other. Any last one of them, even for her. Tony was part of that special family, and once upon a time ago, she was too. Hopefully she can be again.
Once inside Tony noticed the whole gang in the waiting room. His dad and Vince talking quietly with each other, while Leon and Jesse was calling someone from the payphone. And his Aunt Mia quietly staring into space not noticing anything around her. His family was never good at staying anywhere near hospitals. They always got queasy. Tony never knew why or what happened when the team was at the hospital all those years ago.
"Brian O'Connor. Where's Brian," Letty asked the lady up front.
"Only immediate family. Sorry ma'am he's in I.C.U (intensive care unit) only immediate family," she responded.
"This is our son. I'd like to accompany my son to go see his father." Letty persisted.
Tony got away as soon as he could. He knew Brian was none of his buisiness. Besides he had to talk to Dom A.S.A.P.
"Dad I got to talk to you in private," Tony said with such seriousness Dom couldn't say later. Even though he and Vince were talking about the last 24 hours.
He excused himself from the rest of the team and put his arm around Tony leading him away from the others.
"First of all Happy Birthday Tony. I'm sorry, I never meant to forget. This is well this was my birthday present to you. I was going to show you your past. My past. That was until we met up with Brian, and you mom...and your half brother..." Tony knew his dad would keep going so he just interrupted.
"Dad, I know and I forgive you. But I'm not here for that. I'm in trouble..." Tony started fidgeting like he usually did when nervous.
"Why what's wrong?" Dom looked at Tony straight in the eyes.
Tony was tall in Dom's eyes. And he still hasn't stopped growing. It was only now had he noticed the tiniest details about his son. Like how his eyes twinkled. And the tiny stubble appearing for the first time above his upper lip and chin. The kid had grown so much since the last time Dom watched him in his sleep. It truly surprised him how much of him and Letty went into Tony. And how different Tony was from both of them.
"Well you know the weed you found in my room? And the crack?" Tony started.
"Was it yours did you use it?" Dom knew if his son was addicted where he could get help, but Tony had to say something.
"Well yes and no..." Tony tried starting once again. He didn't know how to explain to his dad that besides the fighting in school, and at the races he was also pushing. How was he going to ask his dad for forty eight grand?
"What are you selling or something? Tell me, I won't get really mad, I promise Tony, I won't." Dom searched his child's eyes for something, anything on the boy's thoughts. What he found almost scared him. He felt like slapping himself for not seeing it earlier. "Oh God...you are selling aren't you?" Immediately Dom's voice rose a notch. "How could you do this? Wait what's your problem? Did someone steal your merchandise? Do you need money? TELL ME!" Dom hadn't realized he was grabbing until his son turnged away.
"C and the gang and me..." Tony started. "Well we live in the ghetto. Our house is the only one on the block with a microwave that works. My friends needed the money. I couldn't just watch them struggle and shit. I needed to find a way to get some money fast. At a race one night I saw some people buying some dope. That's where I god the idea. So then yeah, before we knew it, we were too over our heads to get out.
Tony looked up to find his dad's face full of disappointment. He was about to say something but Vince came in with a pale look on his face.
"Letty said Brian flatlined when her and Scott where in there..."
A/N: ok I finished my part! That was two chapters. Kinda short I know, but will you guys review neways. By the way: thanks to Aj and Patrick who helped me with the "slang" because I would have made it really really bad. No flames please, just constructive critisicsm. LOL I can't even spell that! Well bottom line is review and maybe my muse will come back
