Chapter 8 Revelation

"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Leon glaring at Tran.

"Oh you didn't know? Why Carman you're not lying are you?" asked Johnny grinning. This was going to be so much fun for him.

"Carm, what's going on?" asked Jesse looking toward his sister.

"Carman and I used to be an…item." said Tran grinning.

"What!" Leon shouted.

"An item? I'd hardly call us an item. It's more like forcing me into stuff that I didn't want to be in," shot Carman.

Tran only grinned looking at Carman.

"Well I guess it was more than that, I mean what you did, and the crimes that you committed."

"Alright," said Dom drawing all the attention to him. "We're going to race only 1 race, my race and then we're ending the races for tonight. There will also be no party tonight." Carman noticed that his eyes didn't leave her. That meant she was in trouble.

The race went on as normal, Dom won, and then the team headed back toward the fort.

When Carman pulled away from the races with Leon in the passenger's seat next to her, the air was tense.

"Well?" asked Leon not looking at Carman.

Carman swallowed. "I met Tran in Texas when I was there in college. He was a friend of Jered's and that's the only reason that I met him. Jered was always into speed and riding fast so when Tran offered him a chance to be a part of his team racing bikes there was noway that he would turn him down. But there was a catch," said Carman looking at the road as she drove. She couldn't dare meet Leon's eyes on this.

"Carman talk to me," pleaded Leon.

"I will," said Carman pulling up in front of the fort. "Inside."

The two silently walked inside where the rest of the team already sat. There would be no party tonight. Tonight would be a night of questions and answers.

"So?" asked Dom as Carman and Leon sat down.

"I already told Leon about meeting Tran through my ex-boyfriend Jered when I was in Texas. Johnny offered Jered a chance to be part of his bike racing team and of course Jered jumped for it. But then Johnny added something, something that I didn't think that Jered would go for but he did, just like that, like I meant nothing to him."

"Tran wanted you," said Dom quietly.

Carman nodded. "And Jered broke up with me and pleaded with me to go out with Johnny and I thought what the hell, he had to be better than Jered was. And he was, Johnny was sweet and he really cared about me but he started getting deep into drugs and shit. He always claimed that he never took them just sold them." Carman sighed, she had never told this to anyone. Parts of this Johnny Tran didn't even know.

"What happened?" asked Leon gently.

Carman sighed. "We were out on a date one night when getting out of the car when this guy came over to us and started talking about how the drugs in bought from Tran killed his sister and know he wanted revenge."

Several minutes of silence went by as Carman tried to gather her thoughts together before she started talking again.

"So the guy brought out a gun that he had and pointed it toward Tran ready to kill him. And I couldn't let that happen even though I was beginning to hate him, he didn't deserve to die." Said Carman tears welling up in her eyes.

"It's okay," said Leon quietly pulling Carman into a hug.

Carman shook her head. "No it won't be, it will never be okay again."

"Shit." Said Dom.

"What?" asked Mia.

"Carman did you….did you kill him?" asked Dom already know the answer. Dom knew what it was like to want to protect the ones you love, and he knew just how far he would take it.

Carman nodded as the tears rolled down her cheeks. And just like that the silence began. Silence that stayed within the room, the team trying to understand what exactly was going on.

"We'll talk more tomorrow." Said Dom standing up and heading upstairs.

Slowly the team followed suit until only Leon and Carman were left.

"Leon-"

"Don't," said Leon standing up.

"Leon…I'm sorry that-"

"Leave me alone," said Leon, "Sleep on the couch tonight."

Leon headed to bed and Carman tried so hard not to cry. This was the reason that she didn't tell the team anything. She didn't want them to look at her differently.

Carman curled up in the dark and empty living room and cried herself to sleep.

And that's a rap for Chapter 8. Hope ya liked it. I'll update again soon. Review please! And I don't own anybody except for Carman.
