Chapter Eight-Adrenaline Rush
It had been three months since Brian had been sent to intensive care and he still hadn't woken up. Mia was just pissing everybody off because she was worried about Brian. And when Mia worried, Mia became motherly to the point of 'go away and leave me alone or I'm going to kill you Mia'. Ekena was busy with Dom, much to Letty and Suki's amusement. She spent each night in his bed-not having sex but rather talking about each others' lives. The team hadn't gone to a race since Dom got back and Ekena (not to mention Vince and Letty) was itching to race. So she convinced Dom to go back to the races with the team.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Dom!" Ekena protested as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his lap, making her almost drop the salad bowl and her Corona. She took a drag of the beer, setting the bowl on the table and wiggling around to get comfortable in his lap. She protested as Dom took her Corona, taking a drag and saying "Aren't you a little young for this?"
"Aw hell no you did not just do what I think you did." Ekena said, making a grab for the beer. Dom held it just out of her reach. "Gimme my beer, Dom!"
"Or you'll do what?" he asked, laughing. She leaned over and whispered in his ear. Dom went pale and quickly gave a satisfied Ekena back her beer. Letty and Ekena shared a glance, both knowing what Ekena had threatened and cracked up.
"Aight, aight! Time to pray." Ekena said and everyone bowed their heads. "Dear heavenly person up in the sky, thank you for good food, good friends, good times and great cars. Amen."
And Ekena's cell phone rang.
"You gonna answer that?" Dom asked.
"No."
"I will then." Dom said, grabbing her phone and flipping it open before she could grab it. "Hello?" Dom asked in a slightly singsong voice. "What? Ekena-you might wanna take this. It's Brian's doctor."
Ekena grabbed the phone and walked into a secluded corner of the yard. "WHAT?!" she screamed and everyone jumped. She slapped her phone shut and ran over to Mia, kneeling down and whispering in her ear.
"WHAT?!" Mia screamed making everyone jump again. "Let's go! Come on come on come on!" Mia said, grabbing Ekena's hand and dragging her towards the car.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ekena burst into the room dragging Mia. Brian sat up in his bed, trying to slurp down a milkshake.
"BRIAN!" they both screamed and he spewed milkshake, a look of mock horror crossing his face.
"Oh no! It's-it's the CHEERLEADERS! HELP!" he yelled, making Ekena and Mia laugh. "What's up ladies?" he asked, resuming trying to suck down the milkshake. Mia and Ekena pulled chairs up to the bed and began talking all at once.
"One at a time please!" Brian said, tossing the straw on the floor and grabbing the cup, gulping the milkshake down. He put the cup down and sighed in satisfaction, not noticing the bright pink milk mustache he'd received from the strawberry milkshake. As Mia talked to Brian animatedly Ekena tried not to laugh. Pretty soon Ekena stood and left Mia and Brian alone to talk, wandering around the hospital before ending up sitting on the floor right outside Brian's door. The door opened and Mia walked out beaming. "You can go see him now if you want." she said, sitting on the floor instead. Ekena walked into the room and closed the door. She slowly walked over to the chair and sat down, smiling softly.
"Hey bro." she said.
"Hey Kinny. I want a hug-I haven't hugged you in so long my arms hurt." he said and they embraced each other for a long overdue hug.
"Brian. I want to apologize for what Dom did the other day." Ekena said, pulling away.
"I deserved it. You don't know our history together." Brian said.
"Dom came to see you the other day. You were in a coma. I missed you, bro." Ekena said, leaning back into his arms and burying her face in his chest.
"Hey." Brian said, feeling a wet spot on his shirt. "Hey-no crying." he said, pulling away to see Ekena's tear-streaked face.
"Geez, Kinny- between you and Mia I don't know who's worse. It's gonna be all right. The doctor told me I'll be outta here in a couple of weeks." Brian said.
"I'm sorry..." Ekena sniffled, "I'm just so glad I didn't lose you too. I lost mum then dad. You're my only family, Brian. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." she finished, pulling him into another hug.
"You won't. Ow. OW-ribs. Ekena-breathing is a good thing." Brian gasped and Ekena pulled away.
"Shit! I forgot! I'm sorry!"
"It's fine. Anyway, I'm not your only family. What about Aunt Leila out in, uh...oh what was it?" he asked.
"North Dakota." Ekena said flatly. "Brian, she died last summer."
"I didn't know that."
"Obviously." she said, laughing softly.
"So, I heard that you and Dom are an item now." Brian said. Ekena stared hard at her hands. "What about Letty?"
"They broke up."
"Is she okay with it?"
"Yeah. She's cool." Ekena said, still staring.
"Tell him to come visit me sometime. I wanna talk to him."
"Oh, Brian-please not the big brother speech! That's why I haven't had a boyfriend for the past three years! Every guy was fuckin' scared of you!" Ekena said, looking up.
"Kinny."
"Brian!"
"Please?" he asked, sticking his lip out.
"Don't you look at me like tha-oh-no-Damn it! Fine!" Ekena said, crossing her arms sullenly.
"That's my baby sister." he said, ruffling her hair.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Hey babe." Ekena said, walking up to Dom and giving him a quick kiss.
"Hey."
"My brother wants to talk to you." Ekena said.
"Oh."
"He's gonna pull the big brother speech. You know- the whole 'you break her heart I'll break your neck' thing he uses all the time."
"He got that from me." Dom said, laughing. Ekena stared at Dom in confusion.
"Dom-what happened between you two? I've never heard the story before-well, I mean I heard Brian's version but I don't think he's told me the truth." she asked, pulling him down on the couch and leaning back into his arms to trap him into telling the story he so obviously did not want to tell.
"Well, I guess it all started the day Vince got pissed off at Brian and they ended up in a brawl-"
"I was wondering how he got that scar. He has a scar on his jaw." Ekena interrupted.
"Do you want to hear this or not?"
"Speak! Speak, oh mighty one! Tell the tale!" she said. Dom laughed and continued.
"-and I almost got him fired..." and so Dom told Ekena the whole story.
"...And so he gave me the keys to the Supra and let me drive away."
"Your charger flipped? What'd you hit?"
"A diesel truck."
"Really? Wow-I never heard it like that. You wanna hear mine now? It's about my bro, me and Rome. Well, not exactly ME but I knew what he was doing. He almost died for it though." Ekena said to no one really.
"Sure. Enlighten me." Dom said, kissing the top of her head.
"So he came back to Florida and moved to Miami. Somehow he got locked by the pigs and was given a chance to clear his record for helping you escape. I was living with Rome at the time-Roman Pearce, he was Brian's homie in high school. Until Rome got busted and turned his back on Brian for bein' a cop." Ekena explained.
"Brian busted him?"
"No-he didn't even know about it. Rome just blamed him cause he was a cop."
"Oh."
"Let me finish, puta! Anyway-my dad had just died and I decided to move back to Barstow with Brian, except he wasn't there so Rome took me in. However much he hated Brian he took pity on me, I guess. Imagine my shock when Rome came into the trailer one day and said 'Hey, chica-your bro's outside.' I nearly pissed myself. So I ran outside and Brian's eyes bugged out of his head and he began to yell his head off at me-you know, the whole 'What the FUCK are you doin' livin' in Rome's trailer by yourself?' and that shit."
Ekena took a breath.
"So I got on his case about where I was supposed to go since he wasn't there. And that shut him up pretty quickly. So anyway, we went out to Miami and Brian did the job and Monica-bitchy cop, really bitchy-warned him that after he'd done the job for Verone-resident baddie-he'd get shot in the head and he did the job anyway! He almost got shot but that was nothing compared to what he'd done moments before-putting both his and Rome's lives in danger by driving off the dock, flying through the air and landing on Carter's boat."
"No shit?"
"No shit. In Miami, Brian is the equivalent of you-but no one can measure up to the original." she said, grinning before leaning up and kissing him. She detected him holding back and knew what was up. So she pulled back and smiled.
"And no-I didn't sleep with Rome, you ass." she said, smacking him on the head softly. "He's more like a brother than Brian ever was."
