The Blood of a Rose
Chapter one: what the fuck??
She slowly and reluctantly rolled up the street and into the driveway. She stepped out of the car and walked around the back and up the stairs to the door. She stood on her tip toes and felt the top of the doorway untill her hand landed on a cold metal key which she took. She unlocked the door and stepped inside the smell of home rushed in. Nothing had changed since she last had been here 10 years ago. She looked around and found a note on the counter. She walked over 2 it, picked it up, and it read :
Jess & Vince,
Get ya cars and comedown to Baja. You'll find us there. Hope St.
Susanna Hosp. is treatin u ok! Hope 2 see u soon!
Love ya,
Mia
"Well Vince is still around atleast. I'll go check on him later." She said setting the note back on the counter. She walked out the door and up to her car popping the trunk. She lifted out her black duffle bag and shut her trunk. Once back in the house she decended the stairs to the basement.
"Perfect." She said looking at the row of doors down the hall and the huge open space to her right. She walked down the hall to the door at the end and walked into the room. It had a bathroom, a closet, couch, T.V. with game systems, and a bed with black sheets. She set her bag on the bed and walked back up stairs to call the hospital.
She looked it up in the phone book and then dialed the number.
"St. Susana Hospital how may I help you?" a perky receptionist's voice said over the phone.
"Yes. Is there a Vince or Vincent Stinson registered in your facility?" She said politly
"Yes, visiting hours end in about 5 hours if you want to come see him. He never has visitors. He's in room 22." The receptionist said
"Thank you I'll be down as soon as possible." She said hanging up the phone. She ran out to her car after locking the door. She sped off towards the hospital. She parked and walked in straight past the front desk to room 22. She opened the door and slammed it shut.
"You up Vin??" she hollered
"Yea, but only one person can call me Vin. She was taken a long time ago though Angie." Vince said
"Who the hell you callin' Angie boy?!" She said
"Ro?" Vince opened his eyes "Ro!" he said sitting up. "Where you been all these years?? We missed you girly!"
"Missed me enough to look for me huh?" Ro said "I had to come find you Vincent! I get home only to find that Miamore, Nic, and Lay are in Baja and you and this other Jesse guy are in the hospital. And never ever call me girly again. By the way who is this kid??" she said
"Rose We looked. Really we did. We were mixed up with some tough shit after. . ." he trailed off.
"Dad died." Rose said emotionlessly
"Yea, landed me and Jesse here while they went to Baja to let things cool down. They'll be back soon for Jess and I." Vince said
"Well your stayin' with me 'till they do. Your not going to them! Now who's Jess?" she said irritably
"Best engine guy around. Our mad scientist and one of our mechanics at the garage." He replied.
"I'ma go see him. Bye Vin I'll be back for ya. Ask see if ya can come home today." She smiled "Whats the kids last name?" she asked.
"Andrews." Vince replied
"Ok take care bro." Ro smiled walking out of the room and up to the receptionist."Excuse me where is Mr. Jesse Andrews room?"
"Number 222. It's on the second floor." The receptionist replied with a smile.
"thanks." Ro said running to the elevator and pushing the up button. The doors opened and she walked in. she rode to the 2nd floor then got out walking down the first hall to room 222. She opened the door and walked in. A kid was sitting in the bed in the middle of the right wall. "You Jesse?" She asked mildly
"Yea and you are?" Jess replied. He only looked 18.
"I'm Rose. Some call me Ro and some Pyro. You and Vince are gonna stay with me at the house 'till my brother, sister, Leon and Lay get back." She read the question on his face, "Yes, Jess I'm a Torretto. Now we'll call a nurse and see if we can't get you home soon." She smiled as a nurse came in. "Nurse will Jess here be able to come home soon?" she asked politely
"Yea, today in fact. Him and Vince can both go home I checked Vince already I just wanna check Jesse again then he can go." The Nurse replied.
"Ok wow." Jesse said with a smile.
The nurse checked Jesse down and was out the door in 30 minutes. Rose followed her out.
"Hey he's fine isn't he?" She asked
"Yes, We thought they had no place to go and they never had visitors so we assumed they were homeless. We wouldn't let them go out there all alone with no place to go. So, we kept them here." The nurse replied.
"Thanks will you have Vince sent up please. Thank you." Ro turned and walked back into Jesse's room. "Jess don't try it. I'll get your stuff for you bro." She said as Jesse sat back down. "Where's your stuff bro?"
"Closet." He replied as Ro dissapeared into the closet. She came back out with a duffle bag and tossed it to Jess. "Need help getting to the bathroom?" She asked as Jesse struggled to get up "Well your getting it if you want it or not." She said grabbing him around the waist and putting his left arm over her shoulders. They walked like this to the bathroom and Rose set him on the toilet lid. She left him there closeing the door behind her. She walked over to the bed and waited for Vince to come through the door.
The nurse rolled him in 5 minutes later in a blue wheel chair.
"Theres a wheel chair for Jesse in the corner." The nurse said hugging Vince, wishing him well, and to tell Jesse the same. She walked over to Rose and said "Jesse's body is still kinda weak keep a close eye on him, and make sure he takes his meds."
"I will. I have my own meds to take." Rose replied as the nurse walked away closing the door behind her.
"Jess you ok in there?" Vince called
"Yea, I'm comin'." He said as the door opened and he apeared. Rose helped him in to the wheel chair. She pushed them to the elevator. When they got down stairs they rolled over to the front desk all the nurses came out to say good-bye. After all the nurses cleared but one Rose asked "Where do we put these?" she gestured towards the wheel chairs.
"Well you can put them in the rack closest to you car or in the rack right over there." She replied.
"Thanks." Ro said pushing the boys in the direction of the rack. They reached it a minute later. "Up guys we're gonna walk to the car." The two got up and Rose put the chairs on the rack. She placed herself between them. She put her left arm around Jesse's waist and her right around Vince's waist. They walked out to the car in the 2nd row 5th parking space. She first got Vince in the passenger seat. Then laid Jesse in the back seat. She hopped in the driver's seat and sped off to the house.
Once settled inside the was a knock at the door. Rose got up and answered it. It was a man with a large wad of money. Rose gave him th keys to her car and he gave her the money. She closed the door.
"What was that about Ro?" Jesse said
"I boosted cars for a while and that was the last one I had to sell. See after mom took me we moved to Miami for 2 years and then she took me to New York. I stayed with her till I was 13 then I ran. I've been looking for you guys ever since and boosting cars for money for the last 3 years. I finally come back here and they are in Mexico. I thought they'd be here and have a great excuse for not coming for me. Then my anger would subside and we would be happy together. Vince, why didn't they come find me?" Rose asked anger piercing through her small 16 year old body.
"They figured you mom would bring you back. After Tony died and Dom went to jail we really wanted to. I was going to but I couldn't leave Let and Mia by themselves. Then we started racing when Dom got back. He never wanted to talk about it so we never did. It was on my mind all the time though Ro. I wanted to look for you. I had Jess run checks on you and Dom found one once. He wouldn't talk to me for weeks. I thought about you a lot. I felt bad for leaving you with her. I'm sorry." Vince said pulling her into his arms.
He let her go. "I was never mad at you Vin at Dad, . . . at Dom. Never you." She said as the door bell rang. She got up and answered it. It was a blonde man with blue eyes.
"Hi, I'm Brian is Jesse home?" he asked
"Yea. Come in." Rose said stepping aside letting him slip past her.
"Why are you here Brian?" Vince growled
"I quit Vince. I quit for you guys. I want to come back." Brian replied. Vince got up and threw a punch at him. They rolled around on the floor fighting for another minute then Rose threw Vince off Brian.
"Relax. You're embarassing!" She saisd forcefully. "You were part of the team right Brian?" She continued. Brian nodded. "Well you're staying with us. We'll work at the DT and the Café. They'll come for us; we won't go for them. By the way I'm Rose Torretto call me Pyro or Ro. We'll be spending a while together."
