Disclaimer: I don't own any of it! Well some of them are my characters.

A/N: Thanks again to my many great reviewers! I answered responses at the bottom and I didn't get grounded! Yay me! I'm so good! Anyway on to the chapter.

Sydney's POV

Today was my day to help at the store since Matt had practice. Then he would come cover for me while I went to basketball. Business had been slow so far. It was too early in the morning for people to want lunch so I sat behind the counter doing my trig when the phone rang.

"Toretto's how may I help you?" I said trying not to laugh at the saying.

"May I speak with Mia or Dominic?" The voice asked and it sounded very familiar.

"Hold on one moment." I replied and yelled for Dad who walked in a few seconds later. "Phone."

He took it and said hello in his deep voice. "This is he. Yes. What happened? Is he all right? I'll be right there." Dad said and hung up the phone grabbing his keys. "Tell Vince to cover for now I have to go to the hospital."

"What's going on?" I asked getting worried.

"Call Mia and tell her to meet me in the ER." Dad said ignoring my question.

"Ok, but what happened?" I asked again.

"Matt got hurt in practice. His coach said he's still out cold." And with that he left.

Matt's POV

When I came to all I saw was light. Lots of light. I automatically knew I was in the hospital by the smell. I hate hospitals, bad memories. The room was about medium in size but there was someone to the left of me. He was pretty banged up. It looked as if his nose was broken and his entire face was purple and black, with some shades of ugly green and blue. We were the only people in the room but I knew that coach was probably still around somewhere. A few seconds later the guy opened his eyes and asked where he was.

"Hospital." I simply answered. He nodded or tried to at least. My head was hurting and I leaned back on my pillows to relax when he asked me what had happened.

"I wasn't paying attention in practice and got hit upside the head. But I don't know why I would pass out from that." I replied. My memory was pretty fuzzy.

"I saw them bring you in. They pulled some glass out of your head. Looked like it hurt but you were out." The man told me as he readjusted his blankets. That was when I remembered, the football players got drunk on the field all the time. They must have broken a bottle or something.

"What about you? You are not looking so great yourself." I pointed out, and he smiled. Wait a second I've seen that smile before.

"Well let's just say I had a bad run-in with some old friends that I ticked off." He said and about that time some nurses came in.

"Time for your X-Rays." One said as they wheeled the man away. Where did I know him from? Everything was so blurry from the night before. I remembered Mom freaking out, us leaving early, Shane picking us up…….. Oh my gosh…….. my Dad.

"Hey kid." Uncle Dom said as he walked in interrupting my thoughts.

"Hey." I said weakly realizing how tired I was.

"You know you really should pay attention when a ball comes flying at your head." He said and took a seat at the end of my bed.

I smiled. Uncle Dom was great; he always knew how to cheer me up. "So when can I play again?"

"I don't know. That's between your mom and coach, but it shouldn't be long." And about that time Mom walked in (ranting, of course). Coach and Shane followed her in looking pretty amused.

"Thank the LORD!" She said and threw her arms around me as if I had almost died. I just hugged her back and laughed at her. "You scared me half to death."

"I hadn't noticed." I received a slap on the arm for that. "So what happened?"

"Morris cracked you upside the head." Shane said.

"Yeah knew that. But why did I pass out? I've been hit harder."

"Well, after you went down on you knees and tried to get up you fell all the way back and hit your head on some glass from a beer bottle. Stupid football players."

"How long was I out?" I asked as I sit up.

"About forty-five minutes." Coach replied. "I had better get going. The doctor said you can leave whenever but you can't practice for five days. Good thing we don't have any games this week."

"Really." I confirmed and he left.

"That was the ugliest blackout I've ever seen." Said Shane as he pulled up a chair next to my bed.

"Yeah, yeah." I said and started to climb out of bed.

When we got home I was under strict orders from everyone to stay in bed or on the couch. I didn't agree with that but what can you do? That night all I could think about was that guy. Was he my Dad? Or was I just imagining it? I never wanted to meet him. I figured that if he didn't want to be around us we shouldn't want to be around him. But it all fit! I needed to be sure of something though, so I snuck out of bed and went downstairs. Vince was staying at his place tonight so I wouldn't be caught.

Mom kept a box of old photos in the closet downstairs. I knew there was one of him in there. It took me a while to find the picture but when I did I was certain the man in the hospital was him. It all fit! The man had blonde hair, the same smile in the picture, and the story fit (bad run-in, old friends, and he did tick them off) I had met my dad. The man I was determined to hate forever, and I didn't even realize it!
