A/N: Hey peoples. Lauren has risen from the dead. J/k. I'm doing a huge update because I'm going on hiatus for a while. LowRyder, you kept me going while I was in hell. (Inside joke) You don't know how grateful I am. Thanks for everything and you've always got a reviewer in me. Strawberry, wassup chick? I thought I was the only one who said cool beans. I'm gonna IM you soon. Bbysail28 will pop up. Lol. Thanks for everything. Peyton Flane, girl you made my day. I was sad now I'm happy and it's because of you. (Wipes tear out of eye) I'm thinking about starting another story but we'll see where that goes. Amber you're the best best friend/sister a girl can want and you know I luv you for it. She everywhere you look, she everywhere you turn... Now on to the story.
Doug was driving down the street with the radio blasting loud enough to wake the entire neighborhood up. She wanted to cry, but now was not the time for that. She had to be strong. At least for the time being. She needed somewhere to go, and she knew that staying in a hotel didn't sound too appealing right now. She looked at the helmet next to her and suddenly knew where she could go. She flipped a U-Turn in the middle of the street and headed towards Marcus's apartment.
Letty shot straight up in bed as soon as she heard it. Dom had finally done it. The window was open, and a huge wave of burning rubber assaulted her nostrils. She ran to the window just in time to see Doug's Skyline fly down the street. She looked at Dom and noticed that he was still asleep. He had not even moved one inch. She opened the door and walked to Doug's room. The door was open and the lamp was on. Letty saw the notes on the bed and picked up the one that was left for her. With each line she read, she got angrier and angrier. She grabbed the notes that were left for Mia and Brian and went to her room. She threw on a pair of her jeans with one of Dom's wife beaters. She put the letters in her back pocket. She grabbed her keys and shades along with an extra pair of clothes. Dom had done it now. He had finally messed it up. She slammed the front door and got in her car. She backed out the driveway and went to Brian's apartment. She didn't care what time it was, Dom was about to get what he asked for.
Doug knocked on Marcus's apartment door. She banged on it when he didn't answer after a few minutes. Looking around, she prayed that the neighbors didn't complain about some girl knocking on his door in the middle of the night. Marcus finally answered the door seconds later. "Doug what's up?"
Doug looked at the ground, her suitcases, and the carpet. She couldn't look him in his eyes. "I got in a fight with Dom and I was wondering if I could stay here for a few days. I mean I don't have to if it's bothering you. There's a Motel 6 down the street and-" Doug was silenced as Marcus put his finger over her lips. He kissed her then began to grab her bags. She smiled at him before grabbing the rest of her stuff. She had the best boyfriend in the world.
While Doug was putting on her pajamas, Marcus sat on his bed and waited for her to come out. Soon as she opened the door, Marcus's head snapped up. He looked at her pajamas which consisted of a wife beater and a pair of boxers. He looked in the other direction when she leaned over to put her dirty clothes in her suitcase. "So will you tell me what happened?"
Doug took a deep breath before saying, "I walked in the door and Dom started yelling at me. He grabbed my arm and from there he just snapped."
"Did he hurt you?"
Doug turned her arm so he could see the bruises left on her arm. It was shaped like a huge handprint. The bruises were a kind of purplish-black color, Doug hissed in pain when Marcus touched it. She promised herself that she wouldn't cry. Mia was right. Things would get better and she would be able to forget about the entire thing, but even the thought of that couldn't stop the tears that came down her face. She placed her hands on Marcus's chest as she gathered her into his arms. "He's never done it before. When we were little we were really close, but after he came back from Lompac it seemed like his number one goal in life was to make mine a living hell. And tonight he just grabbed me and I asked him to let me go and he said no. He said that it was time for me to listen and all I do is listen. I'm tired of him. I don't wanna go back."
Marcus kissed her forehead and told her she didn't have to go back. She could stay with him. Marcus held her even after she fell asleep. He was about to sleep in the living room when Doug stopped him. "Please just stay. I just want someone to hold me and tell me everything is okay." Marcus nodded before sliding back the sheets and climbing in the bed next to her. Doug slid over and put her head on his chest. Marcus put his hands around her waist. He kissed her forehead and fell asleep with Doug in her arms.
Dom turned oven in the bed expecting to feel Letty's warm body next to him. Instead he was greeted with the cold side of the sheets. He got up and looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:00 in the morning. Letty didn't normally get up until 8:00. He got up and put on a pair of his boxers. He walked downstairs and checked around for her, but he came up empty handed. He looked out the window to see if her car was there. He noticed that it wasn't there. He ran to Doug's room and saw the piece of paper on the bed. He read it over and over in his head. He had finally done it. Not only had he driven his baby sister away, but he had driven Letty away. Letty loved that girl like she was her own flesh and blood. Now she was gone. In anger he punched a hole in the wall. Damn. Him and his temper. Now he was in some deep shit. He cut off the light and left the room. What had he done?
