"Wake up baby doll," Tej shook me. "You have to go to school." I rolled over and groaned. I felt a headache come on as soon as I opened my eyes. I didn't want to go to school, but I knew Dom was already mad at me for cutting class. I dragged myself out from underneath the covers and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Thanks, for last night," I told Tej not looking p from the floor. The lights in the room were bright and it hurt to look up. Tej sat down next to me.

"Please baby doll anytime. If it ever happens again, you can come to me, no matter what," Tej said. I got up out of bed and decided I should get ready. I went to Jesse and my room, he wasn't in there, and so I threw on a pair of baggy camouflage pants, a black sports bra, and threw one of Jesse's wife beaters. Put my hair up in a messy bun and put on some make up. I didn't care what I looked like, I felt like shit. I went downstairs to see everybody but Mia in the kitchen, who probably already left for school. She took college classes in the morning.

"You look like shit," Dom looked up from the newspaper he was reading. I shrugged my shoulders, I didn't want to tell him how much I drank last night. Looking at the clock I noticed it was quarter to eight and realized if I didn't leave soon I was going to be late.

"Can someone drive me to school?" I asked glancing at the eight people sitting around the table. Nobody looked very interested in getting up and taking me. "See Dom there is nine people living here that can drive, but still no wants to take me. I should get my car back."

"No, Vince drive her," Dom demanded not looking up. Vince was leaning up against the refrigerator and didn't look happy to have to drive me around.

"Mia and I are taking everybody out for diner tonight, so make sure your around," Brian told me and I nodded. I gave Dom a kiss on the cheek and grabbed Vince's arm dragging him out the door. The ride to my school was very quiet. My head was pounding and I closed my eyes and tried not to get sick by the movement of the car. We arrived at the school a few minutes later.

"Thanks, remind Dom that I'll need a ride home this afternoon, please," I begged. Vince nodded leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I got out of his Maxima and walked into school, it was going to be a long ass day.

School started out pretty good. Other than a huge headache, I was feeling pretty good considering the other events of last night. I made it through all my morning classes without seeing Trey, except it was lunch and I knew I couldn't avoid him there. I walked into the lunch room and sat down at a table with some of the guys from my auto shop class. "What's up Toretto? How was that party last night?" Todd asked.

"Normal, boring," I answered.

"Yeah, not like the ones your brother has, huh?" Mike commented.

"No, nothing, like them," I answered, "He won last night, were any of you guys there?"

"What's going on bitch?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. I was Trista, Trey's older sister.

"What do you want?" I asked standing up from my seat.

"Heard you dumped my brother last night," She laughed. Trista always hated me, she thought I was white trash; the funny thing is was that Dom probably made more money than what her dad made in five.

"Well maybe if your brother wasn't such a drunk and could take no for an answer I wouldn't of had to." I sat back down, I didn't want to deal with her, not today. She grabbed my hair and dragged me up from my seat. I slapped her to try and let go of my hair. I pushed her into the wall, she fell to the floor and I jumped on top of her, landing three punches on her face. We wrestled around for a couple minutes, each of us getting an equal amount of hits. Than two teachers broke us up and took us down to the principal's office. Mrs. Green wanted to see me first.

"You know I'd expect better from you Alexia, especially after I talked to your brother yesterday." I shrugged my shoulders and looked away from her. I wasn't apologize, because Trey hurt me and Trista wanted to defend him. "Your suspended for three days, you can come back next Wednesday. I'll call your brother. Wait outside." I got up from the chair in her office and left the room.

The phone rang at the Toretto garage. "Holla," Rome answered the phone, because he was closest.

"I need to speak with Dominick Toretto," the women on the other line asked.

"He's not here, he's making deliveries," Rome answered.

"Oh, um, this is Mrs. Green, the principal at Alexia's school, she got in a fight. Do you work at Dominick's garage?" Mrs. Green asked.

"I don't just answer the phone here for the hell of it," Rome answered half way sarcastic.

"I have a paper here that says Alexia can be picked up by anyone at DT, so can someone there come and get her?"

"I'll be there in ten," Rome answered and hung up the phone. "I'm hungry, I'm going to get food," Roman yelled to the guys and walked out of the garage, getting in his Mistibishi spider and driving to the school.

I spotted Roman walk into the office. I was glad to see him and not my brother, Vince, or Brian, they would have been pissed. He at least wouldn't yell at me. "My god baby girl, I hope the other girl looks worse," Rome walked up to me and croached down next to me. My cheek was swallen, my arm had scatchs all down them, they were bleeding, and I was sure I was already turning black and blue.

"Look for yourself," I pointed at Trista, who was sitting in across the office. Trista was bleeding from a huge gash on her forehead and was swallen and black and blue.

"Nice job, can we get out of here?" Rome asked, he hated schools, his and everyone else he stepped in; too many adults wanting respect.

"Yeah, you just have to sign me out," I answered standing up.

"This is not over bitch," Trista hissed.

"I think it is. If you got a problem it will be handled outside of this school," Roman told her. Thank god there was nobody in hearing range. "My baby girl doesn't need any more trouble." Trista just shot him a nasty look and looked the other way. God, she's such a bitch.

"Excuse me, I would like to speak with you too before you leave." Mrs. Green came out of her office. "Mrs. Green, the principal." She put her hand out for Rome to shake.

"Roman Pearce," he shook her hand.

"Please tell Mr. Toretto that until he comes in for a meeting with me, Alexia is suspended."

"But, you said three days," I protested.

"I changed my mind," she turned around and walked into her office.

"Let's get out of here," Roman put his arm around me, he signed a release form and took me to the market my brother owns.

"Why you taking me here?" I asked confused. I figured he would just take me to the garage.

"Because Dom's here and I know he'll get pissed if he finds out I took you anywhere else." I got out of his car and walked into the market. I could see Dom sitting in the back room. 'This is going to be fun' I thought. "Hey big brother," He looked up from his car magazine.

"What the hell happened to you?" He demanded to know getting up from the table.

"Got in a fight, Rome picked me up," I answered.

"Who with?" he asked looked over my cuts.

"Trey's sister Trista," I told him.

"Why?" he looked slightly confused.

"I broke up with Trey last night, she was mad about it."

"Did he do something to you because, I swear to fucking Christ."

"No," I lied, "It just wasn't working out." I lied because I didn't want him to kill Trey. As much as Trey hurt, it would hurt me more to see Dom go to jail again.

"No more fighting, I'm gonna let this slide this time because it was cause of a guy, but next time, well there just better not be a next time. Dom told me. I nodded in agreement and then spent the rest of the day with him in the market, till it was time to go out to diner. I wasn't really feeling up to going, but I knew I didn't really have a choice.

We all arrived at resturant down the street and Tej pulled Jesse aside while the rest of us went in and sat down. They had a lot of work to do at the shop and didn't get a chance to talk. "Yo, Jess does Alexia have bad dreams often?" he asked, it had been eatin him all day.

"Not that I know of, she's never woke me up, I could sleep through anything though," Jesse answered.

"Ok I just figured since you sleep in the same bed and all," Tej stated, "Alright let's go in." Tej and Jesse walked in and joined us at the table. Everybody ordered and while we were waiting, Brian spoke.

"Well Mia and I didn't just want to take you out to breakfast to be nice," he started, "we have some news. Well Mia is…"

"Pregnant," Mia blurted out "and Brian and I are going to get married in Vegas next weekend." She said very fast. Dom was starring at Brian; he looked like he was going to kill him. I had to save them.

"Well I have some news too," I lied, Dom not even looking up at me, "I'm dropping out of school and becoming a stripper."

"What? You're not serious?" Dom asked finally looking at me; I tried so hard to keep a straight face. Dom looked like he was going to hit somebody.

"Oh completely," I said and Mia mouthed me thank you. Dom got up from the table and out of the restaurant.

"Ahhh," I screeched, "I'm going to be an aunt. I jumped into Mia's arm and gave her a hug.

"Yeah girl, con grats, don't worry Dom will come around," Letty said. Everybody seemed pretty happy about the news. Mia told us she was three months along, in six months there'll be a baby in the house.

"Stripper?" Vince asked knowing I was lying.

"Well it was all I could think of," I shrugged, "At least, I can think."

Later that day Mia walked into the garage where Dom had been working on our dad's charger all day by himself. "Listen Dom I'm sorry," Mia said.

"No Mia I am, I shouldn't have been so mad. I just thought you were smarter than," Dom said.

"Dom, I love Brian a lot. You know how lost I was when he left. I don't want to loose him again. So please let's all go to Vegas next weekend, party, and Brian and I will get married," Mia said.

"Vegas, huh? Real classy little sister," Dom said, "Send your sister in."

"Ok and Dom, I love you," Mia told him before walking out.

"Love you too, Mia," Dom said. Mia came out of the garage and motioned for me to go in.

"Dominick," I walked into the garage.

"Here, get in" he threw me the keys to his car.

"What? Dom you never let me drive it," I asked confused.

"No, it's ok let's go for a ride." We got in the car and I drove the car down the street. "You weren't serious before, were you?"

"No," I answered. "I just had to save them I'm happy for them. I'm happy for her, when she lost Brian, I thought things would never get better for her. I don't need you killing Brian. I want this kid to have a mother and a father."

"I'm sor…," Dom started.

"No, don't be sorry, you didn't ask to be a father, to raise me, but you are. You and Letty do the best you can." I told him, "I think that Mia having a baby is great because know she'll have a family and I know how bad it feels to not have one." I said as I pulled in to the garage.

"Damn Alexia, I didn't know you felt that way. I'll try to be a father or at least at better brother." He stated. We got at of the car and Dom gave me a huge hug and we walked back into the house. Hopefully one day I will fall in love and have a real family like Mia's going to have.
