Chapter 4
She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and dialled Connors cell number.
She decided she needed to talk this over with him.
'Sariah? Where are you?' Conner said desperately
' I really need to talk to you, can you come and meet me?' she said fighting back her tears
'Yeah sure, are you ok?' he said. He was worried about his little sister she had never gone off about anything like this before. She always talked to him there and then.
' I am at that little dinner opposite the park down town. You know the one?'
'Yeah, I'll be there in 5.'
'Thanks' she whispered as he hung up.
'I'm going out, won't be too long see you later?' Conner shouted up to Maria
'Ok can you get some vegetables for diner tonight?' she shouted back down
'Yeah' he shouted back and the door slammed shut behind him.
As Conner pulled his keys out of his pocket he noticed fresh black tyre marks at the end of their driveway.
They must have been Sariah's from earlier he thought to himself.
All of the Torrettos were the same they loved fast cars and street racing, except for Mia, she didn't have the same respect for it as the others. Racing was in their blood, their father had made sure it was but Mia was a bit more of a homemaker and less reckless.
Dom and Sariah had the same passion for racing as their father, where as Conner admired the cars more. Why didn't they get on? They were so alike!
As he climbed into his metaflake black Nissan Skyline GTR, he admired the graphics that Sariah had designed for him and he had put on 6 months earlier yet still looked brand new.
Conner reversed down the drive way and mimicked Sariah's tyre marks.
He arrived 5 minutes later. He pulled up along side Sariah's Honda, she also took a lot of pride in her car and had graphics that she designed on the side of her car. As he glanced through the window of the diner he could see her sat at a window with her head in her hands. She looked up as he walked in, she smiled and stood up. He looked at her worryingly and pulled her into his arms.
'Sis, I'm sorry' he said kissing her hair
She pulled away from him and sat back down.
Conner signalled the waitress and asked for a coffee.
'Hey don't worry, I just needed some time alone, to think.'
'But we always talk about everything'
'I know but you of all people know how I really feel when it comes to Dom'
'I………..' he was cut off
'Things can't be the same as they were before'
'I mean, I'm a grown woman now, he can't tell me what to do and bully me!'
' I won't let him!' Conner scowled
Did she really think he'd put her in that position if he thought things wouldn't be ok?
'Conner, I need to know how Dom feels about me coming back to LA. I haven't seen him for three years. Won't it be a little strange? For both of us?'
'Yeah its going to be strange but its not as if its just going to be you and Dom. Letty, Vince, Leon and Mia's boyfriend Brian live there as well.'
' There won't be any room for us.'
'He had a lot of building work done, there are at least 3 spare rooms.'
'That's all well and good but what did he actually say when you mentioned that I might be moving back as well?'
'He's fine about it, he said you are his sister after all!'
'He's willing to forgive and forget if you are?'
As he said this, the waitress bought his coffee over
Forgive and forget she thought.
If Conner were going to be there right beside her and she probably wouldn't have to spend any time alone with Dom.
It was sounding better and she didn't want to leave Conner and Maria.
'Ok' she whispered
'What was that?'
'I'll do it, I'll go back to LA with you.'
' Really?' he beamed as he stood up
'Yeah' she laughed as he wrapped his arms around her neck
'I need you Conner and you'll be right there with me?'
'Don't worry sis' I'll look after you.'
She sat back down and relaxed.
After a moment of silence
'So how long till we go?'
'Oh about 3 weeks, the estate agents are going to take care of the house and transfer all the money and that.'
Three weeks she thought, so soon OH MY GOD!
Suddenly she was nervous!
