Let Me Go.

Chapter 3: You Don't Know Who I am

It was official, I felt like shit. She said that she loved me. Not I love you, but I Love You. She meant it; I heard it in her voice. And of course I practically shrunk to about two feet. Part of me was ecstatic when she told me. Another part of me, the part that I sort of hated, yet, the part that was mostly right, asked; How can you love someone you don't know? Did Crimson really know me? Yeah, she knew what I liked, what I disliked; she even knew when I had something on my mind. Not many people can do that, so I'm going to praise her for it. Even though, she knows all of that, she still doesn't know that biggest part. I Leon Strong was a criminal. That's a pretty big turn off, wouldn't you agree?

When Crimson and Reese left that night, I went to talk to Mia. I could have talked to the guys, but something told me that they wouldn't have taken me seriously. Jesse probably would of, maybe Vince, but somehow it seemed uncomfortable. I found Mia in the kitchen. "Mia, can I ask you a question?"

She nodded while tiding things up. "Sure, ask me anything."

"Can a person love you when they don't know who you are?" It was a weird question, but lately I found myself asking weird questions. I'm positive that it was due to Crimson.

"Leon, I'm no sure what you're asking." She answered.

Deep down I sort of knew she would answer that way. I just wished and hoped that she would give me an answer. The thing was, that the only that could give me an answer to this weird question, was the object in which I was asking about. Woah, that was confusing. In simple terms, Crimson was the only person who could give me an answer, but she was the one that I was asking about. I just looked at Mia and shook my head. "Forget I even asked. Don't worry about it, I'll figure it out on my own."

Walking through the living room and pass the rest of the team I walked downstairs to my room. Lying down on the bed and staring up at the ceiling I wondered to myself, 'Exactly what the hell did I get myself into?'


"Can a person love you when they don't know who you are?" It was the same question, but instead of asking Mia, I worked up the courage to ask Crimson.

She looked at me, "Sure. People in love don't know everything about that one person. We all have secrets that we'd rather keep to ourselves. They might not know everything about you, but what's the fun in knowing everything."

"If you know everything then you won't make mistakes." I told her. That was true wasn't it?

"People who know everything think that they don't make mistakes. However, they're the ones who made the biggest mistake."

"What mistake could a person who knows everything make?" I questioned.

"The mistake of not making any mistakes. People, learn from their mistakes Leon. It may sound cliché but it's true. For instance if you were racing and you were in the lead would you press the Nos button or just go on your own, without any help? If you press the Nos button than you would have a better chance of winning. If you didn't press the Nos button, then obviously one of your opponents would, they would win and you would get sucked in the dust. Your mistake; not pressing the Nos button to enhance your chance of winning." Crimson said.

"What if someone loves another person, but that person has a secret that the other person doesn't know about."

"The best thing to do would tell that someone that loves that person what the secret is."

"What if that person was sworn to secrecy? What if the secret that the person's keeping could hurt that someone they love?"

"In that case, it's better if the person just let go."

"Let go of what?" I asked. Somehow, I knew what the answer would be, but I prayed that I was wrong.

"Let go of that someone they love. Love is a confusing emotion Leon. Sometimes, it can be a happy emotion where you feel all excited and anxious and feel like you're on top of the world. Than, it can be a depressing emotion, where like you said one person is keeping a secret from the other person, and than, what you feel is depressed and confused, but most of all you feel like you're not good enough for the other person. Than again, it all depends on the other person as well. Sometimes a person can love another so much, but when something happens all that person can do is leave because they're scared of what's going to happen. Sometimes it's called selfishness but at other times its called decision making."

"So, being selfish is the same as decision making?" I was confused now. Could that really be?

"When you're selfish you've decided that you want; this and only this. You've set your mind to this one thing and you're going to have whether the other people around you like it or not. If something happens when two people are in love and one of them leaves, it's not because they're afraid of commitment, they're afraid of getting hurt more than they already are. And sometimes when a person gets hurt, the only thing they can do is run."

"What if that person can't let go of that someone they love?"

"Than all that person can do, is wait while Love takes it course and sees what happens. It can have a good outcome or it can have a bad outcome."

"What if it has a bad outcome?" I wondered.

"That's when we learn from our mistakes." Crimson explained.

I knew I was making the biggest mistake in not telling Crimson to let me go, but what if there was a good outcome? Not everything has to go bad…does it?


We were doing another heist that same night I had the conversation with Crimson. Both she and her brother were over at the house. Instead of being outside on the swing set we were downstairs in my room listening to music. It was late in the night, and Crimson had been asleep when both Vince and Jesse came downstairs.

"Leon, man we got to go. Reese is upstairs waiting for Crimson and we have to go."

There's going to be that one moment in your life where you're going to feel torn. Lying down next to Crimson I felt complete bliss. Watching her chest rise up and down by the rhythm of her breathing soothed me completely. Looking at Vince and Jesse I knew what I had to do. Waking Crimson up I led her upstairs. She was still a bit sleepy so she held onto me while venturing up the stairs. When Crimson and Reese both were out of view, we all booked into our routine. Mia was there as always trying to get Dom to back down just this once, but it never worked.

Getting into Vince's car I looked out the window. My relationship with Crimson was something I've always dreamed about. Something everybody wished they could feel. I had two different lives. I wanted to so badly lead Crimson away from all of this and live somewhere nobody would knew who we were. I wanted to have a life with Crimson. I wanted a family, something to come home to. I knew that would never happen though. Because whenever I did think that I 'might' have a chance with Crimson and the life I dreamed about, it got shot down. Because it didn't matter where I wanted to lead my life, I would always stand with the team. Even if I didn't want to, my life would always stand with the team. I suppose it was just out of habit.


End of chapter 3. This chapter was a hard chapter to write. I kept erasing lines and practically pulled my hair out of my head. Lol. I heard that they were making a Fast and The furious 3. It's supposed to be Dom's story and how he got along after the heists. Which is pretty cool I guess. I don't know if it's even going to happen! I just heard from friends. Anyways this is to all my reviewers.

Turquoisephyre: I'm really happy that you decided to see what this story was about. Leon is one of my favorite characters in the movie! Lol. I'm also really happy that you liked the story. Hopefully you liked this chapter.

Sweetest Addiction: I think that I want Crimson to be her own character you know? Someone that everyone can rely on not being like everybody else. I know what you mean, I'm happy to see Leon with a girl that has a mind of her own too. Not like the floozies he's seen with in the movie, Lol! Hehehe. Anyways I'm glad that you thought that the second chapter was strong. I was afraid that it was weak! Thanks for the review!

Thank you so much. Your reviews are very much appreciated.
