Driving away from the only thing you've known is hard but when your heart and soul are breaking you know it's the only thing left to do to survive.

In the exterior I've always been this cold hearted bitch only because I've always have to fight for what is mine and what I deserve. Things are not given out easily in life. You have to earn them with sweat, blood, and tears. Soon enough life is the one that turns you into a bitch.

But what most people don't know is that I'm scared and fragile inside. I'm afraid what life is going to bring tomorrow and what other sorrow I'll have to cry.

Jesse saw through my wall and knew how to take out the best in me. He would always break the ice I would build because of Dom and make it better. But without him, I've felt lost and numb without anyone to go to until today when I finally had enough.

I feel liberated, like a huge load has taken away from my shoulders. I feel like the chains that were choking me are broken and I'm finally able to scream out.

But why not turn to Dom for the comfort I've been looking for? Why not turn to the man I've stood by for so long? But the truth is that Dom hasn't been there for me like I've been there for him for so long. He has learn to take me for granted and seek me only when he's over his head or wants to spend a few minutes in bed.

Since the heist he lost himself in the misery of everything. He pushed me and everyone aside. After the heist he became a cold distant man, lost not knowing how to deal with the guilt everyone shared.

The love I felt for him soon turned into resentment and why not? I mean if it weren't for the last stunt, all of us would have been out looking for Jesse to help him with Johnny. But instead we followed Dom's orders like always and like always he pushed away the gut feeling of his team.

I still remember when he told me that he loved me after reaching Vince. But how can you put the people you love in danger? I'm not saying that it was entirely Dom's fault, we each had the choice to pull out but Dom has the ability to pull you in and never think about the consequences.

I resent him not only for what happened that day but ignoring the fact that I needed him the most. I needed him, to comfort me, to hold me like Vince did but he ignored it. I resent him for forcing us to continue as if nothing happened.

Hopefully with this break he will learn how much he truly is with is and how little he is without us. We are a team, we are the force behind the man, and he's completely lost without us.

However part of me wish him luck. Hopefully he will be able to find himself and become the independent man he once was. Hopefully he will regain what he has lost.

As for me, my goal now is to gain control of my life again. For so long I've been in his shadow. I've always been Dom's girl and trophy. Today, I've broken that and I can be able to find myself again. I have to soldier up to gain happiness and respect.

I know the road is will be long just like the one I'm riding now but I'm not alone. I know that Jesse is looking down on me and I have two great partners in crime like Vince and Leon.

Mia will hopefully understand once I talk to her. Luck for her she was able to move out when she was granted a scholarship to an out of state university. Maybe we'll stop by and visit her and then I'll be able to tell her why I did what I did.

As for Dom and I, I no longer know where we stand. I resent him too much to love him but I sincerely hope I can forgive him one day. It will be a long process since I'm not the type to forgive and forget. Our need to have something secure has kept us together but our pain is the one who has finally broken that. I no longer can go pretending everything will be fine when things are falling apart.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that at first I don't hear my phone ring.

"Yo?"

"Hey Let, I know we're on a mission to get away but you think we can make a pit stop to eat? I'm dying back here."

Same old coyote. I too start to feel hungry and I laugh.

"Yeah sure. There's a town coming up. We'll grab something to eat and crash somewhere, cool?"

"Yeah. I just need food."

I smile. I know with Leon and Vince I will never feel abandoned or restricted. I'll be free to be whatever the hell I want to be and they'll support me unlike Dom did lately.

I take the next exit with Vince's blue Maxima and Leon's yellow Skyline right behind.
