Thank you for reviewing. Got six of them! That's a new record. And damn, I thought I'd have more time to finish this chapter, but you guys were too fast with reviewing. Tried to finish this asap. Hope ya'll like it. And now to get on with the story…

Hearing Shit And Working It Out

"Where the hell have you tree been!" Dom's voice made the whole house shake.

"Out." Letty said, looking right up to Dom.

"Very funny, Let."

"Thank you." Letty smiled sarcastically.

"I think the three of you better sit down, cause we've got a lot to tell you." Carlos said. He sounded even angrier than Dom sounded. Oh, this is going to be a long night.

Me, Mia and Letty sat down on the couch. Dom looked at Carlos and for a second I thought it would just be a long conversation, but then all hell broke loose.

"Again, where the hell have you three been?" Dom said looking at Mia. He probably thought that she would tell him. Suddenly Mia took a deep breath. No, she wasn't, right?

"We…"

"We were out." I quickly finished her sense. Both me and Letty shot Mia a look. What was she thinking?

"You were out? And where to?" Carlos said looking even more pissed.

"Just out. What does it care? I mean, you had your moment of fun so why can't we?"

"Oh, you can have your moment of fun. It just would've been a lot nicer if you would've told one of us. Or perhaps the two of you" Carlos looked at Mia and Letty "took your cells with ya."

"Oh excuse me mister I-do-everything-perfect, but I can remember a time that we couldn't find you and where again were you?" Carlos looked at Letty. How the hell was she bringing that part up now that we were talking about them running out.

"Oh yeah that's it, you fell asleep in your car after you brought some skank home. And by the way, girls having a lot of pain tonight." Letty shot me a big goofy smile and gave me a blink.

When I got the hint my eyes widened and my mouth fell open. But before I could answer her Vince' face came around the corner of the stairs, followed by Leon's.

"Aww look Leon, the triplets are finally home." Vince didn't sound very happy, but the smile that Leon got on his face was even goofier than Letty's.

"Hahaha, you're in so big trouble."

"Leon, shut up!" I tried not to smile but I couldn't help it. "And Letty, no fucking way! Hell naw! I mean, he dumb? Yeah. He being a total retard? Naw, nuhu!"

"Uhhu, ask him yourself."

"Carlos, puhlease tell me that you did not have sex with that skank Daisy!" I looked in disgust at Carlos. Suddenly both Leon and Vince were on the ground laughing their guts out.

"So her name's Daisy. Never seen her again." Carlos looked like he just learned a new word.

"Yugh! Uwhl!" My face turned in even more disgust and I made puke-movements.

"Yeah, well I think it's gonna take a while before she'll show herself in public again." Letty laughed at the look of me being disgusted by my brother.

"And why's that?" Vince asked through his laughter, holding his belly.

"Because I gave her some blue make-up, but I don't think blue's her colour." I tried to look innocent.

"You did what?" Carlos looked at me and I saw that he wasn't pleased hearing this. In the meanwhile Vince and Leon were laughing again, grabbing a hold on each other to stay on their feet.

"Nothin'."

"I can't believe you. You beat the poor girl up?"

"No, well yeah, maybe just a little bit." I mumbled the last part and then smiled at Carlos trying to make him a bit less angry.

"I can't believe you! You're hopeless, that's what you are." Carlos rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Hey it's not that she started it." Mia finally spoke up.

"Yeah, that girl was all over Mia and when she and her skank-girlfriends found out that they couldn't win by talking she got all over Kyra, with her hands. She just defended herself." Letty said looking at both Dom and Carlos.

"Yeah and she is everything except for poor." I said to Carlos, still trying to defend myself. "Oh and pretty." I added quickly.

"Wait, if you ran into her… You went to the Salsa Mix, didn't you!"

"Maybe, maybe not. Does it care?"

"Yeah, it cares! Do you know how old you are? Do you know how old you need to be to get in there? I can't believe J just let you in there." Carlos went totally ballistic on me. "Oh let me guess. Letty and Mia made sure of that." He shot both of them a filthy look.

"Wait, what do you mean with 'do you know how old you are'?" Mia asked Carlos, not sure what to think.

"How old do you think she is?"

"I don't know. 20-21, something like that."

"Yeah, she wishes. My baby sister really is a just a baby. For crying out loud, the girl's 16"

"She's how old?" Dom looked at me, shocked by my age.

Very irritated and mad at Carlos I leaned back at the couch and crossed my arms. I bet the fucker's very pleased with himself right now. I bet he's thinking he won, but I ain't that easy! Hell naw, he better be prepared for me.

"Look brother, that I'm young doesn't mean that I need you to look after me. Cause if you want to do that, you're a bit late! I've done that for a while now and just because I'm here it ain't that I need someone to look after me now. If I need your help, I'll come and ask for it. And I've been here for almost three days and the people I've spend those days with didn't see that I was way younger than them, so how can a guy that saw me just for five minutes see that I'm 16?"

"Cause he's suppose to check on people when they enter the club."

"Only there's one thing you forget: I'm your sister. I've only got to mention your name and people start serving me just like that."

"And what's that with if I want to look after you I'm a bit late?"

"Don't tell me the woman that you call mom and I'm suppose to call mom still tells you the fairytale about me not being around, but that everything's fine with me."

"What about it?"

"What about it? I haven't seen that bitch in 4 years, that's it about." Only the thought about that woman made me even angrier.

"You haven't seen her in 4 years?" Carlos looked at me, not really sure what to say.

"Yeah, but if you want the story behind that, call and ask her. And now I'm tired and I'm going to bed." I stood up and made my way to the front door.

"We ain't done talking yet."

"Oh yes we are." I stepped outside, breathing in the warm smell of the night. Walking over to our house I started talking to myself.

"I can't believe this shit is happening! Every time when that bitch shows up, shit goes from good to bad. And she ain't even around, we only thought about her. Still she messes up all the good things, replacing them for bad! But I ain't having it, she outta my life, outta my hart and outta my mind."

Saying all this to myself, I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door behind me, hoping that maybe all the thoughts were outside of this room. Quickly I got in bed, not bothering to change into my pj's and tried to get some sleep.

KYRA'S DREAM

"Get away from me!" I pushed him away.

"Kyra, if you're scared that your mother will find out don't worry, it's our little secret."

"You're sick, crazy fucker! You think that I'm scared that bitch finds out? Hell naw, I'll do everything to hurt her even more. It's that you are her man and only the thought of you makes me even more disgusted by you!"

"Don't you ever call your mother that again!" He slapped me in my face. At that moment my mom got inside.

"What the hell's going on in here?"

"That so-called daughter of yours called you a bitch and I'm trying to teach her some manners, cause it looks like you didn't do your job as a mother." Frank said to my mother.

"You called me a what?"

"He wanted to go to bed with me! Now who's wrong in this room!" I said looking my mom straight in her eyes.

"You spoiled brat! I want you to leave." My mom slapped my face too.

"You want me to what? You're even sicker than that asshole you married with."

"Get out of my house, or do I need to throw you out myself?" My mom pointed at the door.

"Don't bother, I'm glad to leave." I ran to my room, packed some stuff I needed, than crawled under my bed and took out the box where I kept my money and emptied it all in my bag. Resting one last look in the room I walked out, walked out on all the stuff that happened in that room, walked out on the old, walked out of the old life.

END DREAM

I woke up, feeling I needed to drop the whole 'I'm still the sweet young girl'-act. It wasn't me, I usta been her but that was a long time ago. Now I was the girl that could give shit to anybody who would stand in her way, no matter how old or big they were. I was the girl who raised herself on the street since she was 13 cause her so-called mother threw her out for a man. I am me.

After telling myself that I got up and took a quick shower and ran downstairs. Carlos was already down stairs, drinking coffee while reading the newspaper. He looked up when I entered the kitchen.

"Hey."

"Hey." I walked over to the fridge and got the milk to go with my cereals. I filled a bowl and sat down to eat. Carlos had something in his head, I saw it in the way he was sitting, nervously turning his mug in his hands. "Cutesome, I know something's up there" I lightly touched his head "and it's eating you. Common, you know that I hate it when you don't tell me what's up. So, what's up?"

"I don't know. I've been thinking about what you said last night, a lot. But it just ain't making sense in my head. And then I heard you talking in your sleep, saying crazy stuff bout mom and Frank. And I…" He took my hand and kissed it in his own way, just kissing my knuckles. "I just wanna know what happened between you and mom. No lies like she would tell me. I wanna know the story, but from you."

"And I will tell ya, in time." I pulled my hand back and putted our stuff in the sink. "But for now, just let it be. I mean, it ain't that bad cause I'm still alive, right. So get it out of you head." I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his head. "So now everything's cool, big guy?"

"If you promise to tell me, everything's cool." He kissed my knuckles again and then stood up.

"Good, now let's go make some money."

We walked over to his car and drove to DT Garage. During the drive we had a lot of fun about stuff that happened 'back in the days'. Then we switched over to the way some people were sitting in their car, driving the wheel. It was very funny cause if you look around, you see some hilarious folks. Then we went to cars, getting in the mood of the garage. He said that a fucking Ferrari 360 Spider nicer was than a 2001 Porsche Carrera GT. And that was so not true. First, Ferrari's suck, second it was ugly and third it was too slow. Battling that out, we walked in the garage.

"That car is so ugly, doesn't matter what colour or paintjob you give it, it's still ugly." I said, while I did my hair in a ponytail.

"Says someone who thinks that some fucking Porsche Carrera is a beautiful car. That ain't true then, that ain't true now, that ain't true ever."

"Yeah, you wish. Okay, Porsche ain't all that, but if you compare it with the ogre on chrome it's the most beautiful car in the world."

"No it ain't."

"Yes it is."

"No it ain't."

"Yes it is."

"No it ain't."

"Yes it is and I'm always 10 times more yes it is than you." I stuck my tongue out and walked to the back, followed by Carlos.

"Oh you didn't say that! I knew you were a baby, but now I know fo' sho'." He laughed, giving me a blink.

"Yeah you know it, but still I won. The 2001 Porsche Carrera GT is a nicer car than a Ferrari 360 Spider is ever going to be." Carlos rolled his eyes and laughed changing in his overall and going to work. I stayed behind and started changing too.

"So, I see everything's okay again." Dom said to Carlos who came walking out of the back.

"Yeah, we worked it out, it all fine. So what's up for today?"

"Not much, the four we already have and this guy's bringing in his Evo for a double check and some small replacements in an hour."

"So looks like we closing early. Good, feel like heading to the beach."

"Yeah, maybe that's a good idea." Dom said and went back to work.

"Hey guys, if ya'll hurry up we can go to the beach after this." Carlos said loud enough so everyone could hear it.

"Nice. So what do you want me to do?" I asked, wrapping my arms round his waist (I was too small to reach higher, or he was too big, or... Okay, whatever).

"You and me are working on an Evo some kid is bringing around. But, till the car's here, you can help Letty on that Eclipse."

"Okay." I walked over to Letty. "Hey, what up girl?" I sat down next to her.

"Hey, so what you doing today?"

"Carlos wants me to work on the Eclipse with ya, till some kid brings in his Evo."

"Cool, than please crawl under and help me with this thing. It does everything that I don't want it to do. I mean, this dude totally wasted his car, burning down a lot of stuff."

I laughed and crawled under the car with Letty.

"Damn, this kid sure he wants to keep driving a car. Maybe he should think about taking a bus, cause this is not just bad, this terrible."

"Told ya."

After almost an hour, we were done with it. And at that moment the Evo came in. Lucky it was just small stuff and after an hour and a half me and Carlos were done with it.

"So, time to go to the beach?" I looked up to Carlos, smiling.

"Haha, yep and come here, you got grease all over your nose." He took me in and cleaned my face with a rag.

"Well then, get up, change, head home and then off to the beach." I jumped up and started off to the back.

"Angel, we still gotta deliver this car to the owner." Carlos said, slowly getting up from the floor.

"Okay, but I drive." I sighed and took a slower pass to the back. I quickly changed and walked back in the garage.

"Ready?" Carlos said and looked up from his car magazine.

"Yeah, let's go." Everybody got up and we left.

I was working to another cliff-hanger, but I had a lot to do and I wanted to post this in. Next chapter ya'll gonna find out how Kyra knows Leon! So, as always please review so I know what ya'll think about this chap.
