Me Di Chanson
A/N: JUST so you all know- Brian and Mia's daughter's name is Calia. I made a mistake in a few chapters calling her Thalia.
And another thing- Cc wrote most of this chapter so give the woman much applause. She deserves it (you'll see why if you look in my updates)
Vermilion, Pt 2
She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
Letty stood on the cliff, looking over the precipice into the writhing ocean.
How easy it would be just to let go...slip and fall by "accident"...be swallowed up by the cold womb of the ocean...
She could see it now...
Dream Sequence
"Dearly beloved. We are here today to mourn the passing of Leticia Rodriguez..." the priest would say.
Mia would be there in the front row, bawling her eyes out, with Jersey beside her, silently refusing to cry.
Brian would be sitting beside Mia, his arm around her shoulder in condolence and Calia in his lap, sucking her thumb quietly.
Vince would be sitting behind them, looking blankly past everything to the wall as if she stood in his vision, alive and well.
Hector might be there. And Edwin, maybe if she was lucky.
Leon might even be there. He might come back from where he was and see her into the ground.
Rome would be...she didn't know. But she hoped he'd be there at her funeral.
Maybe Suki and Jimmy and Tej and Diego would come out to say goodbye. Most likely not thought.
Dom...
Dom wouldn't even be there.
And that was what made her cry.
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
Jersey drove around in a slight panic, looking for her mother. She screeched around as she saw Letty's car by the edge of a cliff, and nobody anywhere by it. She screeched to a stop and jumped out, running over to the edge and looking into the sea.
"LETTY!" she yelled into the ocean, "MOM! MOMMY!" she screamed again, falling to her knees.
"What?" snapped a voice and Jersey looked up at Letty, who was standing behind her.
"MOMMY! MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!" Jersey screamed, jumping up and knocking Letty to the ground with her hug.
"What is with you?" Letty snapped.
"I thought you'd jumped, mom." Jersey said.
"I only thought about it. Then I got to the funeral and I...I couldn't do it." Letty said dryly, looking up at the gray sky.
"We need to get home."
"You called me mom."
"That's what you are aren't you?" Jersey asked, sitting up, "Please don't tell me that I was adopted."
"No. You're my daughter, flesh and blood." Letty said, pushing herself up, "I spent fifteen god damned hours pushing you out through a hole thiiiiiiiissss big." She made a hole with her fingers.
"Let's go home. Mom." Jersey said and Letty smiled as lightning cracked through the sky.
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
Jersey and Letty walked together to their cars, the wind whipping their hair in their faces, temporarily blocking their sight. The wind was really picking up and the rain was pounding on the ground so hard it bounced. Jersey was hit with a hard wind, pushing her backwards slightly causing her to stumble backwards a moment. Towards the looming cliff face.
Letty looked back.
"Jersey!" She screamed, running towards her daughter, trying to recollect herself and stand stable. She looked up as Letty grabbed her and held her close to her as they cut through the harsh weather. Neither of them noticed the 'Caution-Cliff!' sign rip off of its pole and fly towards them.
"We need to go home!" Jersey yelled over the howling wind.
"I know!" Letty hollered back, squinting against the rain.
The unattainable, She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
They were almost at their cars when something flew by, riding on the wind, and hit Letty in the head. Jersey felt her weight give and had no idea what had just happened. Letty slumped to the ground and Jersey fell to her knees beside her.
"Mom!" She cried, noticing the blood that was now trickling down Letty's face. Tears fell freely down Jersey's face as she held her mother helplessly.
A catch in my throat choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, no!
I don't wanna be this...
Rome drove through a deep puddle, the dirty water splashing the windows. His windscreen wipers were doing nothing against the downpour and he had to drive a lot slower than he normally would have.
He was driving along the road near the sea, when he spotted not one, but two familiar cars. His instincts told him something wasn't right about the sight so he pulled in to investigate further.
It wasn't until he was out of the car and almost at the maroon 240sx that he saw the two women hunched on the floor.
"Jersey! What the hell happened?" He shouted, kneeling down beside her and surveying the scene before him.
"Something hit her in the head!" She yelled back, beyond relieved that Rome had shown up at that point.
"Letty!" He yelled, moving her head to face him. "Letty wake up, you need to wake up!"
Letty's eyes fluttered open at the sound of his deep voice. She looked up at him as the rain mingled with her blood and soaked her face and shirt.
Rome looked down at Letty, before picking her up and taking her back to his car.
But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
Jersey followed Rome as he placed Letty on the back seat. They both got in the car, now soaking wet and shaking from head to toe.
"We'll get your cars when the storm's passed," he said, pulling back onto the road and heading back to the Toretto's.
"Should we take her to the hospital?" Jersey asked, turning in her seat to look at Letty, now drifting in and out of sleep.
She isn't real
I can't make her real
She isn't real
I can't make her real
"I don't think we're gonna make it to the hospital."
