Chapter 32 – Sabrina Meets Vinny

"Yeah, it is." Sabrina replied.

Adam grabbed Tyrone and pulled him on the floor. Sabrina quickly looked over. "What the..?" Tyrone started but was cut off when a hand hit his face. He looked up to see Adam.

Tyrone stood up and punched Adam a couple times, until he was bleeding out of his nose and from his mouth. He was very muscular.

Adam's POV

I was on the floor with blood pouring out of my face; dang that guy was strong. I stood up, and looked at Sabrina, who shook her head and glared at me.

"What?" I yelled at her. "You said we had a chance, then you're going out with other guys? Forget you, biatch!" I said to her, not really realizing what I was saying.

"Whatever dude," Sabrina smirked and she glared at me.

Not really realizing what I was doing, I balled up my fist and I smacked her straight across the face.

Sabrina ran out of the restaurant and she drove off, leaving Tyrone and I there. I felt extremely bad after sitting there for a few minutes and realizing what I was actually doing and what I actually did. Tyrone shook his head at me and walked off, getting out his cell phone and calling a friend of his to pick him up.

Sabrina's POV

When Adam hit me, it was the end. I ran out of there as fast as I could, even though I felt bad about leaving Tyrone there. I was sure he could find a way home, even with his cell phone on him.

I got into my car, and turned up the song BYOB by System of A Down. It was one of my favorites, and I didn't care about how I felt right now, I needed music, no matter what kind it was, as long as it was good.

After crying so badly until my face was really red, I decided that it would be best if I went home. I pulled into the driveway, and I shut off the engine. I pulled out the keys, got out, and walked inside. Brian and Dom were both on the couch, with Letty and Mia by both of them, I figured the babies were asleep. I shut the door behind me, and started to walk up the stairs.

"Sabrina," Brain started in, "Get your butt down here right now,"

I knew I was in for it. I went downstairs, and stood with my hand on my hip. "What?" I asked with an attitude.

"Don't get that attitude with me." He started in. "Why are you home so late? What were you out doing?"

"Nothing." I told him. "Absolutely nothing."

"Go in your room." He told me, sternly, pointing up the stairs.

I walked up madly, then slammed the door to my room, which caused a big 'bang' in the house. Five minutes later there was a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked rudely.

"Jesse, open up." He told me.

"No. Go away." I told him, starring at my door.

"Sabrina you better open up this door right now or else," He was cut off when I opened the door.

"Or else what?" I asked with an attitude.

"Alright, you've never had an attitude with me, what's up?" He asked me, knowing that something was wrong. No matter how mad I was, I never gave him an attitude. Now, I was trying to hide my sadness by being mad, which obviously wasn't working.

"Remember Tyrone?" I asked him.

"He was the guy from the beach, right?" Jesse asked me, thinking he remembered Tyrone.

"Yeah, correct. Anyway, him and I went out to eat tonight, And no I didn't tell Dom or Brian because they wouldn't have let me go. Tyrone is a very nice person, you just have to give him a chance. I don't care what those two say, I am not listening to them. Tyrone is a very good friend to me. I wouldn't consider dating him right now but I can tell you this though, he is a nice person like I said and I will go out with him to places if I want to. They will not stop me. Anyway, we are sitting there and Adam walks in, and I have no clue how he found out I was there, but Adam punched Tyrone, and then when I glared at Adam when he was on the floor because Tyrone had hit him, he got up and hit me. I ran out of there leaving Tyrone there with Adam, but Tyrone is very strong and he had a cell phone. I'm sure he made it home ok." I told Jesse, as his mouth dropped open.

"Sabrina, I-I-I…Wow.." was all he could say to me.

I pulled back my hair and turned my face. "See?" I asked him. I knew I had a bruise on the side of my face.

"I'm so sorry," Jesse said to me.

No one's POV

"It's ok. It's not your fault, don't apologize. I do want one thing, though. Since I am going to be sixteen in a week, what I want for a present, is the permission to take a road trip." Sabrina told him. "I have a very good friend I want to go see and some other friends along the way, and I think that it would be a good idea. It's a way for me to have some fun and clear my mind. And, I want you to ask Brian and Dom with me." Sabrina told Jesse, seriously.

"I don't know what they'll say, but we'll see." Jesse told her, confident they would say no.

Sabrina walked downstairs with Jesse following her. She didn't really quite know what they would say, but she really wanted to go though. She pulled back her hair and immediately Dom noticed the big bruise on the side of her face.

"What happened?" Dom asked her, very concerned obviously.

"Adam. He hit me. Long story short, I was at a restaurant and Adam walked in, saw me, and hit me." Sabrina told him.

"That's it. I am kicking his.." He was cut off by Sabrina again.

"Listen, I don't care what you do to him, all I want to ask you is if I can take a trip for my sixteenth birthday. I am 15 years old, and I will be 16 in a week. Please let me just take a trip. And, I want to go by myself. I will take my car, and my money. I promise I'll be good, I just need some time to myself." Sabrina told Dom, pleading with her tone of voice and with her eyes.

"As long as you call and check up, and you behave, I'm totally cool with it." Dom told her, happily.

"Really?" Sabrina asked him, half in disbelief.

"Yeah, really." Dom told Sabrina, happily, again.

"Thank you." Sabrina told him, really grateful that Dom would let her do that.

"Welcome. You can leave anytime within the next week, but I want you back within the next two weeks. Understood?" He asked her.

"Yeah." She told him.

Dom had faith and trust in Sabrina. He knew that she was a very good person, and he also knew that she would make the right decisions. She had been through a lot, and if there was one thing he was going to do, he was going to kick Adam's butt. Sabrina was family, and no one messed with family.

Sabrina ran upstairs and started packing. She was going to be gone for two weeks, and so she packed clothes, shoes, and got some snacks for along the way. She grabbed five hundred dollars from her money stash in her room. She packed her car within three hours.

Sabrina was on the road for awhile when she decided to pull over and call up Vinny. She wanted to tell him that she would be passing through where he lived.

"Hello?" Vinny answered his phone in his bold voice.

"Hey Vinny it's Sabrina," She started in.

"Hey!"
"Hey, I wanted to ask you, would you want to meet me in person?" Sabrina was smiling when she said this over the phone.

"Are you serious? Does Dom know?" Vinny asked her, for sure thinking that she was running away.

"Yeah, he knows. He actually let me go, it's my sixteenth birthday present, I get to take a road trip."

"Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, sure I'll meet you. Let me know when you get into Oklahoma."

"Alright," Sabrina told Vinny. "I'll call you in a few hours."

"Ok, talk to you in a bit."

"Talk to you in a bit."

Sabrina drove to Nevada within a day, and then called up Vinny. He answered his cell phone, this time cheerfully and happily.

"Uhhhh Hello Sabrinaa," He said to her, happily.

"Hey Vinny I'm in Nevada, what town?" Sabrina asked him.

"The capital of Nevada," He told her, almost laughing now. He was very happy, almost too happy.

"Ok, Carson City, I'm actually going to be there in five minutes, where do you want to meet?" Sabrina asked Vinny, wanting to meet him soon.

"The mall. Ask people if you need help finding it. My cell phone battery is low, I gotta go. I'll see you in a bit. Main entrance." Vinny told her, right before his phone died.

Sabrina put her phone back on the car charger, and it took her about a half an hour before she actually found the mall. She had to ask about five different people, but finally she found it. Vinny was sitting in his Toyota Supra. It was black, and it had orange and silver decals. She pulled into a parking space, and got out. Her car was still shiny from waxing it, and he noticed that right off the bat.

"Nice." He told her, admiring the car.

"Thanks. So is yours." She said, admiring his car, also.

"So, how long you gonna be stayin' with me?" Vinny asked Sabrina, looking into her eyes. He thought they were cool.

"Um, a week and a half. Or maybe a little more." Sabrina told him, biting her lip.

"Ah, I gotta put up with you for a week and a half, wow. I don't even know if I can do that," Vinny told Sabrina, laughing.

Sabrina playfully hit him on the shoulder. "C'mon," She told him, "I'm hungry, got anything to eat at your place or do I have to go buy myself somethin'?"
"I got stuff at my place, I'm havin' a barbeque today, wanna come?" He asked her, smiling widely and proudly.

"Sure, why not?" Sabrina told him.

"Alright, follow me there." Vinny told her, walking towards his car.

"Ok." Sabrina told him.

Sabrina walked back to her car and then started following Vinny. All the way to Vinny's house, she had her bass on, loud, and pumping. She attraction some attention along the way.

When Sabrina and Vinny pulled up to Vinny's house, the first thing Sabrina noticed was the loud music. She parked her car beside his on the street, and walked with him. Vinny and Sabrina walked behind a golden brown gate. Vinny immediately walked over to a tall man.

"Hey Eric," Vinny said, continuing, "This is my friend, Sabrina. Sabrina, this is Eric."

"Hi Sabrina, nice to meet ya," Eric told her, smiling.

"You too," Sabrina said shyly, yet smiling about it.

"How do you know Sabrina?" Eric asked Vinny.

"Internet," Vinny replied quickly.

"Awesome," Eric replied.

"Yeah," Vinny said to Eric, then turned towards Sabrina. "Let's go inside, I'll show you where you can put your stuff, and where your room is." Vinny told Sabrina, starting to walk off inside the house.

"Coming," Sabrina told Vinny, following him into the big house.

Vinny led Sabrina into a very nice modern house. They walked upstairs and the first bedroom on the right in the hall was hers. He opened the door, made sure nothing was in there, and then turned to Sabrina.

"You can throw your stuff in here, I'm gonna go outside again, there's food." Vinny said to Sabrina, smiling as he mentioned food.

"Hey, wait up, I'm hungry, too!" Sabrina told Vinny, almost whining.

"Yeah, yeah, c'mon." Vinny told Sabrina, motioning her forward with his hand.

"Coming," Sabrina said, running a bit to catch up with him.

They both walked outside, where Sabrina went directly to the grill, while Vinny stopped to talk to a few people along the way. Sabrina grabbed a hot dog, and went over to Eric.

"So, how old are you?" Eric asked Sabrina.

"Sixteen in a week, and you?" Sabrina replied with a question.

"Oh, young one. I'm almost nineteen." Eric said, smiling.

"First of all, don't call me young one. I hate it when people call me that." Sabrina said smiling.

"BOO!" Vinny said, playfully hitting Sabrina's shoulder.

"Ahh!" Sabrina yelled, and then turned around to see Vinny. "Oh, you bum!"

"Yeah, he is a bum, that's for sure." A girl said, walking towards Sabrina.

"Haha, yeah," Sabrina said, agreeing.

"Hey, c'mon, don't be hatin'." Vinny said, smiling.

"Oh shut up. So, who's the girl?" The older female asked eyeing Sabrina and then looking at Vinny.

"A good friend of mine, her name is Sabrina." Vinny told the girl, then looked at Sabrina. "And, this is Riley."

"Nice to meet you," Sabrina said to Riley.

"You to, how old are you?" Riley asked Sabrina.

"Almost sixteen, you?" Sabrina replied with a question.

"A little over eighteen." Riley told Sabrina smiling.

"Awesome, I envy you." Sabrina told Riley, almost laughing. She couldn't wait until she turned eighteen, and every one of her friends knew about it.

"Ha, I bet, everyone does," Riley said laughing with Sabrina.

"Ok enough girl talk what we doing tonight?" Eric asked, interrupting them.

"Not sure, what do you feel like doing?" Vinny asked.

"There are races, street races," Sabrina said, throwing an idea out in the open.

"Wait, did I just hear you correctly? Street races. Wow." Eric said, in disbelief.

"Totally! My brother and his best friend own a shop in Cali where I live. My Honda S2000 has NOS, extra NOS, and it's totally pumped up." Sabrina said, talking about cars like she usually does.

"Awesome! Nice ride. I have a Chev S10. It's pumped up." Eric said, smiling widely. He was proud of his truck and he let everyone know about it. He wasn't afraid to show it off.

"Nice. Ha, I would street race but I don't want to get in trouble. I promised my bro and his friend I wouldn't, and I don't wanna break my promise." Sabrina said and sighed loudly.

"What about a scary movie?" Riley suggested.

"No way, I can't handle 'em," Sabrina said blushing, almost laughing.

"Fine, let's go bowling," Vinny said, deciding for the group of friends.

"Yeah, alright," The other three replied.

"Ok, whose car?" Riley asked. "I don't want to drive, plus, mine is dirty."

"Mine," Vinny replied.

"Alright, let me change and I'll be ready." Sabrina said. She walked to her car and got a pair of dark blue jeans and a light blue tank top. She ran into the house and changed, putting on her blue flip flops she was wearing before, and ran out the door. She ran over to Vinny's Supra, and got in.

They went to bowling alley, and had tons of fun. They didn't care about who won or not, so they didn't keep score. In about three hours, they were finished with bowling and were on their way back to Vinny's house.

When they got back to Vinny's house, Riley took off and Eric, Vinny, and Sabrina went inside of the house. Eric and Vinny were roommates. Sabrina went to her room and five minutes later she heard a knock on her door.

It was Vinny. He told her good night, and that he had to work so he would be gone in the morning, but he would be home later on in the day. Sabrina closed her door half way, and went to sleep. She woke up early the next day, and walked into the living room to find Eric on the couch.

"Morning," Eric said cheerfully.

"Morning," Sabrina replied.

"I don't have to work today, that's why I'm home." Eric told Sabrina, in case she was wondering.

"Oh, great," Sabrina said sarcastically.

"Hey, c'mon, I'm not that bad." Eric said to her.

"Ok, true," Sabrina told him, smiling.

"So, what do you wanna do today? Anything?" Eric asked her.

"I don't know, walk around town?" Sabrina threw an idea out in the open.

"Either that or there's GameWorks just down the road. That's always fun." Eric told Sabrina cheerfully and energetic.

"When does Vinny get off of work?" Sabrina asked Eric.

"In a few hours," Eric responded looking at his watch, "Why?"

"Because I was thinking that we could walk around town, and then when Vinny gets off of work, he could meet us at GameWorks and we could play some games and stuff." Sabrina replied.

"Good idea," Eric told her. "Alright, get ready, and then we'll leave."

"Alright," Sabrina told him.

They both went into separate bathrooms and got ready. In about forty five minutes they were both downstairs after showering and getting ready. Sabrina blow dried her hair, so it looked very good.

"I'm hungry," Sabrina stated.

"Ok, we'll grab something in town. I know a place that has really good food." Eric told Sabrina, smiling widely. He loved food.

"Ok, I can hold off until then," Sabrina told him.

They took Eric's white S10 truck, and went to a few different places around town, along with getting something to eat. A few hours passed by quickly, and they called up Vinny, who met them at GameWorks, which was down the road a bit from where they were. The three friends walked inside of the laser tag part of the building, and found that it was quite busy, which was good. They would be able to play with other people than just the three of them. GameWorks was usually busy, but it was extremely busy today.

Sabrina, Vinny, and Eric were all against each other. Eric was very good at laser tag, and was in the lead with the score. Vinny was not that good, but he didn't care, as long as he was having fun. Sabrina wasn't good at all, but she didn't care, because she laughed half of the time anyways.

Eric kept sneaking up on people, and he snuck up on Sabrina the most and scared her half to death every time. Vinny had good aim and could get people from far distances around the building. By 8 P.M., the three friends were heading out of the building; still hysterically laughing from everything that had went on while they were playing. The three friends had a very good time.

As they were on their way home, Sabrina called Dom to check in and let him know about everything that had been happening lately.

"Hello," Dom answered in his normal voice.

"What's crackalackin?" Sabrina said in a high-pitched voice.

"Who is this?" Dom asked, not sure who it was.

"Sabrina, and I am talking to Dominic, right?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah, you are. Hold on," Dom said as he told everyone to come to the phone and put her on speaker.

"Ok," Sabrina replied.

Everyone said 'hi' to Sabrina on the phone, and she talked with everyone for a few minutes. She caught up on everything that was going around down there, which wasn't much. She told them she would be home in a week and a half, and they were fine with it.

That night Sabrina laid in bed thinking about how much fun she was having. She liked having a break from the Toretto household, and being able to have fun finally, have real fun. She closed her eyes and fell asleep soundly, dreaming about something sweet and good.
