Chapter 5: Memories
"It was right before your mom took her.I asked her why they beat her and not you or Mia. She sat there a minute then said 'Well Dom's to big. They know he'll hit back and could kill them. Mia, shes perfect. She cooks, cleans, sews, and is the girl next door type. They could never hit her.' Then I asked 'well then why you?' she said 'Because I'm the screw up. I like cars. I'm smart. I can cook but not as good as Mia. I love them so much I'd never hit them back. I wish they loved me. Mia might just a little, but mom and dad wouldn't beat me if they did and Dom would play with me or stand up and stop them. You're so lucky Lay he loves you. He always plays with you and lets you hang around. Isn't he the best though. Vince is like that with me. I'm like the luckiest girl in the world I have two older brothers, two sisters, and parents. Even if they don't love me. They are still mine and I love them with all my heart.' She said that with a faint smile but she had tears glistening in her eyes." Letty said she too had tears in her eyes when she recalled that day. "Dom she never cared about anyone else loving her she just wanted you to. She considered herself the luckiest girl to be related to you and have you around. She loved you and kept saying one day you'd stop them and maybe just maybe you'd tell her you loved her." Her eyes spilled tears.
"The night she was taken. . . .." Dom's voice faded. "I had just gotten home from V's. Mom had bags packed. Rose camed running downstairs and hugged me, but I pushed her off and she latched on again. Then mom yanked her off of me. She said 'Come Rose we must leave.' Rose gave me a look lik 'I'm gonna fight back help me.' She yanked her arm out of mom's grasp. Mom started beating her . Whe she stopped she tucked Rose under her arm and left with her and the bags. Rose was kicking, screaming, and grabbing at me. She was crying and screaming my name. Oh God her face, the fear in her face. She feared that day she had thought about would never come. I did nothing I let her go. Damn did I realize how much I needed her. That little six year old girl, all black and blue, was what kept me in line. She was a constant reminder if what to do and what not to. She always kept me from doing bad things. After she was taken I started going bad. I needed her so much, but I never realized it 'till after she was gone." Tears fell down his face while he said this. He wiped them away. Leon came up stairs.
"She's asleep. I'm tired, I'm going to bed." Leon said walking up the stairs.
"Me too." Letty said she followed Leon.
Vince yawned. "You comin' up to bro?"
"Nah I think I'll sit down here for a while." Dom replied. Vince nodded and disappeared up the stairs. Dom crept downstairs to check on Rose. When he got into Rose's room he realized she was gone then he heard the screech of tires outside. He ran upstairs everyone else was there too.
"She's driving." Leon said. "That's not good."
"No Let's with her. Shes not here either." Dom said.
The group gave a sigh of relief.
X In The Car X
"Why do you want to go there?" Letty asked.
"There something there I need to find." Rose replied
They pulled up in the driveway of an old vacant house. Rose got out of the car and walked to the door. She opened it and walked inside. She crept up the stairs and down the hall into the small room at the end of the hall. The small bed in its place. She knelt in the middleof the room. She pulled out a toy cat half the stuffing was gone it looked mangy. She also pulled out a picture and carefully placed outh the way she came. She was silent on the way home. She walked in the door of the current house to find Leon and Dom in the livingroom. Leon rushed over and picked her up.
"You shouldn't be walking. You're to weak." He said.
"No I'm not Leon I'm fine." She said pushing herself down. Letty walked by and up the stairs. Leon did the same.
Rose sat in the recliner. She pulled her knees up to her chin. She just sat there smiling and starring at a picture. Dom looked at her puzzled.
"This picture is the only thing that gave me the will to live, but now that the dream I once had has died in front of my eyes. The day I was so sure would come never did. The thing I hoped for most didn't come. I shall just stop struggling against the tides of fate and let the currents drown me. Thus everyone would get along better and not have to worry or care as did before. . . ." She faded off. She turned and looked at him with her crystal blue eyes tears welling in them and rolling down her face. She quickly dried them. "I remember when we were little, well when I was little how I used to always follow you around and want to do everything you did. I would follow you around even though I knew you would find out and yell at me and take me home or send me home. I'd always tell Lay how lucky she was to be around you all the time and that you loved her. She was lucky that you played with her and protected her. That even if you didn't like me that I was lucky to be your sister. I told her one day you'd stop them, and maybe just maybe you'd say you loved me, but that was all shreded the night I was taken. I thought it was now or never so I tried to provoke you to help me, but you didn't and I didn't give up. I was so sure you'd come find me, but you didn't. For seven long years I delt with a crackhead and working uderage in a garage just to keep us alive untill I left two years and showed up here thinking you would be here with some great excuse for not finding me, but no I came to find Vince and Jesse in the hospital and have Brian show up on my doorstep. I have run the DT and the café and done all the work around here waiting your return to see what you would say. Then when you found out you freaked and got mad just like you used to only you sounded more like dad and all my dreams, hopes, and wishes were shattered. Dom all I ever wanted ws for you to love me or care even just the tinyest bit. I loved you so much but you hate me. I'll leave you all alone cause the head of the household doesn't want me around." She said strongly.
Dom was speechless. Ro rose and walked acrossed the room and as she passed Dom she whispered "I'm sorry I wasn't good enough." He felt a tear fall onto his head.
