Chapter 16

Allyson woke up to the sun shinning on her eyes into the room from the window. She stretched and got out of bed trying to remembering what happened the night before. "Oh yeah Jack." She said as she remembered what did happen. Her head felt like it was splitting in half. It was a nightmare. At least part of it was over. She didn't know what to do about the guys Dom, Letty, and everyone else. She knew it wouldn't be good for her to stay and she needed a break. She needed to get away for a while, at least until she was okay or at least the heat from the incident cools down.

She walked to the full length mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. She started to think about everything that was going on. She wanted to change her life and figure a way to still be herself in the process.

She walked to her closet and opened it. She grabbed five of the duffle bags that she had and walked back to her bed. She went to her dressers and started grabbing cloths out of them and putting them in the duffle bag.

She knew she shouldn't run away from her problems but what was she going to do? It would be for the better for all of them. She would come back when she has changed to her knew self and when she knows that she is ready to come back, she will.

She walked over to her CD player and grabbed all the CD's that she owned and stuffed it into another duffle bag. And grabbed anything she would need to use while she was gone and she knew she wouldn't be able to live without.

After she was done packing she sat down at her desk and took out a couple of pieces of paper and a pen. She started to scribble something down on them. After writing the letter she put it in an envelope.

She grabbed the bags that she had and walked down the stairs. When she opened the door, someone was already standing there and was about to knock.

He looked at her a little confused of why she had a couple of duffle bags in her hand. "A where are you going?" he asked her.

"I'm leaving for a little bit. I will be back though. I just need a break, a vacation or something." She said not looking him in his eyes. She could feel his gaze bare into her, and she started to feel uncomfortable and walked passed him with the duffle bags in her hands.

"Where are you going?" The guy asked following her.

"I don't know, I will call when I get there." She said. By this time she was already at the car and opened the top of the red mustang convertible. She placed her duffle bags in the back seats and walked back to the house with him trailing behind.

"You just got here, you can't run again. Stay where you belong." He said.

"Vince, where do I belong, huh, tell me now where do I belong. I belong nowhere but on the road. That's the only place I belong." she said a little pissed off.

"You belong with us. Everyone. You can race with us. You can work in the garage and stay here. Just don't leave." Vince said. He didn't want her to leave. She had just got here and she belonged with them like the old times, when they were best friends.

"No I can't." Allyson said turning around to face him. "All I do is cause problems for you guys. That's all I do. I'm the problem. I have to remove the problem and everything will be okay for you guys and then you won't have to deal with it. I don't belong with you guys, not right now. Me going away is a good thing for you guys and me. I won't be gone for long, I still have to come back for my car, remember." She said with a smile.

"You are the thing that makes us all happy. You are what held us together and when you left we had to find out how to deal without you. We can't do that again. Why are you doing this to all of us, to Mia, Brian, me, to, to Connar and Leon. What about Dom!" He was desperate and needed to do something about it.

She ignored him walking back up the stairs and walking into her room to her desk. She grabbed the envelopes that she had written the letters to. One letter to the whole team and one to Dom. She walked up to Vince and handed him the letters. "Here, give this to Dom and this one is to the rest of you. I have to go. I don't know where I'm going, but I will call you when I get there. My brother has my cell phone number so you can call me, but don't call me and tell me to come back because I will come back when I'm ready." She walked back down the stairs and into the living room and grabbed the cell phone that was on the coffee table. When she walked back towards the front door she saw that Vince was standing in front of it.

He wasn't going to let her out until he got her to change her mind. His arms were crossed and the door was shut and locked. "Your not leaving till you change your mind."

Allyson was a little ticked off and was ready to do anything to get out of here. "Moved out of my way before I do something I will regret." She said.

He stood his ground and said, "No, I'm not moving till we talk about this."

Allyson just walked through her kitchen and heard him following her. She hid behind the door. When Vince walked in she walked out behind the door and walked back into the living room to the front door. When she opened the door she felt someone grab her arm and turn her around.

She was looking at Vince eye to eye. "Why won't you just let me be?" she said starting to cry. "Let go of me."

"What's the matter, why are you crying?" Vince asked worriedly.

"None of your business. Just leave me alone." Allyson said trying to pull her arm out of his grip.

"No, not until you tell me what is the matter." He said holding on to her.

"I can't stay here right now. It's hard for me to even look at Dom. I'm still in love with him, and I can't do anything about it. I need to get out of here to see if I can get over him. You know how much her hurt me, even though I forgave him for it? I can't see him and Letty together in front of me because, it is really hard for me. Don't make me stay, cause I wont." Allyson said.

Vince let go of Allyson after she said that. He couldn't believe what she said. She seemed so hurt. He watched her as she ran to her car, got in and drove out. He was left behind with the two letters. He looked at the letters and then closed the door behind him, making sure it was locked and walked to his car and left.

::Toretto House::

When Vince got home, Dom walked up to him wondering why he had a confused look on his face and asked, "Where's Al?"

"She left... I tried to stop her, but I couldn't." Vince said.

"What? Where is she going?" Dom asked.

"I don't know, she said she would call when she gets there." Vince said. He got the letters that he ad in his hand and gave the one that said Dom on it to him.

Dom looked at the letter in his hands saw there was a lump in it. "What's this?" He asked.

"She gave that to me to give to you." Vince responded.

Dom walked up the stairs to his room. When he got to his room he closed the door behind him and sat on his bed. He watched the letter for a little while, and then he started to open it.

::Living room::

Vince walked to the living room where everyone was watching T.V. but Dom since he had went upstairs. Everyone looked at Vince once they heard him walk in. They saw that Vince was sad.

"What's wrong Vince?" Letty asked.

"Read the letter to find out." Vince replied handing the letter to her.

Letty took the letter from his hand and opened it.
