Hello! It's me again here with Chapter four of Newbie. Sorry that it took so long to get this chapter up. I'm going to try and get the next couple up within a week. At least I hope so. Actually I forgot about this story, so now I'm going to start writing and see how many chapters I can write at once and post them when I'm done. So to all my reviewers:

Braelyn: Glad that you think that stories interesting. And I have absolutely no idea who Jered is, and he's my creation.

Leslienicolespeaks: Yes, we are lucky! Carman is just like me in the sense that I don't get hangovers either. Glad you like it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Carman, Jered, and Jennifer, and maybe a few other things.

CHAPTER 4 Meetings

July 14, 2002

Carman rolled over in bed groaning. Looking toward the clock it read 6 A.M. Who would come at 6 in the morning. Sighing she threw the covers off of her and walked toward the door still in her bedclothes; black shorts and a black tank top.

"What?" she growled opening the door to find Leon standing there along with the rest of the team.

"Talk about an ambush." She muttered walking back over to her bed.

"So how are you?" asked Leon as the team walked in sitting in random spots as the hotel room was not that big.

"Fine." Said Carman looking through her bag of clothes.

"So who was he?" asked Dom not wanting to wait for an answer.

"My ex-boyfriend, I thought that we went over this last night." Said Carman.

"We want to know why you took off from the restaurant after seeing him." Said Jesse looking toward his younger sister.

"I just did what's the big deal?"

"I've never seen you act like that before." Said Leon. "At least not in the time that I have know you."

"Well I've changed." Snapped Carman. And it was true in the time since Leon and Jesse had left she'd changed. She met Jered and he brought out a side of her she never knew existed. But then it all changed, Carman was lost within her self.

"Look, we just want to know what made you leave so suddenly last night?" asked Leon looking to Carman.

"Jered and I are ex's. That's it, okay? Now if you trusted me, you'd believe me and stop bugging me about it." Said Carman going into the bathroom to change.

As Carman walked out of the bathroom Leon pulled Carman into his arms. "We trust you. When you're ready to tell us, you can tell us."

"Thank-you, that means so much to me." Said Carman kissing Leon.

"So what are we doing today?" asked Carman turning to the group.

"We were thinking." Said Mia.

"About?" asked Carman curiously.

"We want you to move in with us." Said Dom.

"Guys I don't-"

Carman was cut off as Jesse stepped toward her. "You're my younger sister, so what I say goes. And I say that you're moving in."

Carman giggled at Jesse's attempt to be her older brother. "Alright, if that's okay with you guys."

"Yes!" said Mia squealing.

The group just rolled her eyes as Carman started gathering all of her stuff. Moving in Carman's stuff was easy because living in a hotel room you didn't really have much stuff with you. And it didn't really matter that much to Carman anyway. The only thing that she had kept from her child hood had been all of those gymnastics medals.

Friday July 19, 2002

Five days had passes since Carman had moved into the fort with the team that she was apart of. Her life was finally looking up and she was so blissfully happy that she never thought that her world could come crashing down around her.

"Let's go already!" shouted Dom from his position at the foot of the stairs.

"We're coming." Mia shouted, as the three girls appeared looking better than ever.

Leon let out a whistle as he saw Carman. "Very nice."

"Thank-you." Said Carman with a grin as the team left the house. She still couldn't believe it that she had only been with the team for 2 weeks and she already felt like family with them.

Mia rode with Dom, while Carman rode with Leon and everyone else rode in their cars. It was decided that Carman wouldn't bring her car unless she was going to race, so that their 'V' would have the right amount of cars. When she races Jesse would ride with her.

The races were always fun. Usually Dom raced, and won, but soon Carman was going to start racing every couple of weeks. Dom had said that next week would be her week, and Carman could not wait.

"Ready?" asked Leon as they approached the warehouse.

Carman nodded. "It's only been 2 weeks you know?"

"Yeah, I'm just happy that I can finally be with you, without it being illegal." Leon said with a laugh, and Carman grinned as they pulled to a stop.

As the exited their cars, Leon easily fought off the skanks and wrapped his arm around Carman waist as they made their way toward Dom, where he was talking with Hector.

"So how we doing this Dom?" asked Hector.

"One race, 2 g buy in." Hector nodded in understanding as the waited for people who wanted to race.

"I'll race," said Edwin slapping his money in Hector's hand.

Hector nodded as another guy, a rookie, said he'd race.

"I'll race." Said a voice that Dom knew all to well.

Carman felt Leon tense next to her, and she did to. "What the hell are you doing here?" asked Dom.

"I just want to race, there's no need to get nasty." Said Johnny Tran.

"I'll get nasty all I want."

"Carman Parker, never thought I'd see you again." Said Johnny throwing his attention to the black headed girl, who was now trying to hide herself in Leon's side. This night was going to suck.

Team Toretto looked at Carman in shock while she just looked down at the ground not meeting anyone's eyes. Carman couldn't believe that this was happening. She thought that when she had left, that she would never have to see him again. Who knew that he would end up being in L.A.

"Alright, let's race." Said Dom wanting to end this and get back to the fort for an explanation as quick as possible. Nobody with ties to Johnny Tran would be on his team.

And then they raced with Dom winning, of course, Johnny Tran in second with Edwin in third and the rookie in last place.

It was basically the same thing every week. According to Mia anyway. Dom would race, and win while other races tried to beat him. Nobody had until Carman had come along.

"Shit, we got cops!" shouted Leon over the two way as he quickly put his car in gear and sped off with Carman in the passenger seat.

"So how do you know Tran?" asked Leon as the lost the last of the cops.

Carman didn't answer.

"Tell me!" shouted Leon losing his cool.

"I…we…he…Leon watch out!" shouted Carman pointing to a big 18-wheeler, but it was too late, and the skyline and truck collided.

All right there's chapter 4, hope everyone reviews. Good or bad reviews, I don't really care. Now I'll try and get the story updated within the week.
