Soooo sorry that it took me so long to updated but I haven't had the time but I'm working on finishing this story, I'm going to be posting as soon as I can this chapter was one of the hardest I keep rewriting it because I wasn't satisfied with it but now here it is. Any questions or more review please. Also I have added little pieces that were missing from the other chapters so that you can understand better what is going to happened.

Recap:

So what do you want to know about Daniel? Maggie Said in a neutral voice.

What happened to his parents? How did he end up with you? Doesn't he have a family? And what did you mean when you said he hasn't spoken to anyone? "Said Letty in a rush voice, for a tough girl she sure is curious,

"wow, wow, one question at a time, I have found that the best place to begin is with the most simple of things his name is Daniel Alexander no last name, according to the neighbors, the mother is a crack addict who beat and all around mistreated the boy…"

"What do you mean no last name? and according to the neighbors?" said Letty

"well his mother apparently didn't have him in a hospital so there is no record of him even existing, you see as I told you the mother is an addict and a women of less then respectable honor if you know what a mean , she didn't feed the boy or took care of him the only reason he is alive is because she used to live with her grandmother and she took care of the boy but she died a year ago ever since then Daniel survive because of the neighbors, they gave him food when ever they could but because he isn't register the law couldn't do much for him since technically he doesn't exist it wasn't until about 6 month ago I believe… yes, yes, six month when one of the neighbors saw the front door open and went in since they haven't seen the boy or his mother in some time, and from what I'm told the house was a mess it look more like it was abandon they were bottles and rotten food everywhere they were holes on the floor and walls he was a bout to leave when he heard crying , he fallow the sound and found Daniel on the basement cover in mood and blood, apparently the boy had been look in the baseman and beaten repeatedly, he took him to the nearest hospital. He was starving it look like he hasn't eaten in a month he had a couple of broken ribs a broken arm and lost of bruises"

Letty was horrified with what she just heard she look down at the boy in her arms 'no wonder he doesn't speak or play with others' she thought "so now you know why I was surprise that he is touching you, after he got out of the hospital, than same neighbor contacted me he is a friend of mine, so I took him in, is not even legal because he doesn't have any papers but I couldn't leave him on the street, it took me 2 month to get him to let me bathe him, he takes care of himself almost like an adult"

"what happened to his mother ? And what about the father?" ask Letty bring Daniel closer to herself as if trying to protect him

"well the mother was found in the house pass out she is in jail now serving a 10 year sentences because of what she did to this little fellow and the father well I don't even think she knows, I went to visit her once about a month ago and I ask her if she knew since she doesn't have any more family and she just laugh at me if you ask me I think that she's got a couple of lose crews" said Maggie motioning to her head Letty just stared at her not really knowing what to say this little boy had survive all of that, her problems seem so small compared to what he suffer. She was still think of this when Maggie waves her hand in front of her face "are you ok? You seem a little out of it"

"yeah is just that I can't understand how someone could do that to a kid, I'm glad she's in prison because if she weren't I would hurt her myself" said Letty with anger in her voice" well dear enough of that, we had a deal now is time for you to tell me what made you come here?"

Letty wasn't really looking forth to this talk she didn't think she was ready for it.

"Come on dear your feel better once you get it off your chest "encourage Maggie.

"Well the reason why I'm here is because I'm leaving town" there that was a save answer "yes, but my question was why are you here on the beach in a party dress and it is obvious that you have been crying? Come now dear do you really think your going to fool me. Tell me what happened "

"Well I don't even know were to begin…" said Letty

"Why are you here today, would be a nice start" said Maggie flashing her smile.

'Why the hell not' thought Letty 'what have I got to lose?'

"I found my boyfriend in bed with another girl" she rush out "oh dear that is tragic but if you two really love each other you have to work it out anyone can make a mistake"

Letty laugh at this "if it was the first time I would but I have been forgiving him for to long , at first I thought it was because he had just gotten out of jail, then I started telling myself it was because he didn't get to mourn his father death, then I started with the is my fault I'm to independent he think I don't need him or want him , but the truth is that he doesn't really love me I was just another girl the only difference is that he didn't know how to tell me to hit the road and I never got the point, yesterday was our 8 year anniversary can you believe it, 8 years down the drain, what kept me going were the memories that he wasn't like this, he loved me we were so happy for the first 3 years, then he had to get himself in jail for 2 years and I waited like an idiot I waited for him to come back to me, but it wasn't until 3 years ago when he got out of prison that he came back a change man"

"Why was he in prison?"

"He beat up the man who made his father crash and die"

"ooohhhh" was all Maggie said, as she got a far away look on her face but Letty didn't notice she was looking at the setting sun and stroking Daniel's hair

"So I had everything set up, we had the house to ourselves I had a picnic and a spot on the beach already, to recreate our first date. I even put on the dress I wore the first time we made love" (is on the previous chapter the description of the dress) said Letty as she motioning to the dress she was wearing "I wanted last night to be special so that we could maybe fix what was wrong in our relationship so that we could move on," Letty was just looking up-ahead at the setting sun

"but he didn't even notice, I spent 2 hours looking for him when I had given up I went home to wait for him that's when I found him in our bed with some blond on top on him naked they were both asleep" she had tears in her eyes

"but in that moment something just broke inside of me and I just pick up my things and left I came here and I have been thinking and looking back at my life and I don't like who I have become in the last 3 years, I went from a tough girl sometimes a bitch but happy, to a complete angry and bitter person I don't remember the last time I went a complete day without fighting with him or having a good time, we have always had our fight but they were an excuse to make up it was like a game to us it keep our relationship going if you know what I mean, but in the last 3 years it's like we were at each other throat, I sacrifice so much for him I stop racing, we all did we only race in race war because he has to be the king he has to race every night, I change the way a dress because he said I dress to baggy, like a boy and he wasn't dating a boy, I lost all my friends because he has sleep with all of them except for mia but that's only because she's his sister, and so on I realize that I lost who I am in the process of not losing him"

"What are you planning on doing know?" said Maggie really interested

"Getting as far away from here as possible, it hurts to leave mia, Leon, Vince and Jesse they are like, no scratch that they are my family but I can't face Dom"

"dear in all me years I have found that running doesn't solve anything if you want to move on with your life if you want to find out who you are you have to do it here if not you will always be thinking about them and living in the past, beside is it fair for you to leave your job, your house and your friends just because of one man, I say take a couple of days of, kick him out of the house…"

"Is his house" Letty said interrupting Maggie "I sold my house to pay for rent on the garage the first year he was in prison."

"well in that case move out but don't let him win, you just told me that you used to be a tough girl them bring her back learn to enjoy your life again, go out, party, make new and true friends, do all the thing that he told you not to do and do it in front of him "Letty didn't look so sure 'was she going to be able to be around him and not be with him, she wasn't sure is that was such a good idea' Maggie saw right true her.

"You don't need to make a decision right know why don't you stay tonight with us I'm sure that Daniel would like it and you can make a decision tomorrow with a clear head today the wound is still to fresh" Maggie started to get up and clean the sand from her behind

"Ooh and one last thing dear I advice you call your friends if you are as close as you say you are they are going to be very worried about you" she said as she walk away gathering the children it was getting dark pretty soon and they needed to be back at the orphanage.

Letty stir Daniel awake "hey little man time to wake up" she said as his beautiful almond eyes open, his still sleepy so he closes them again

"hey none of that you have to go back with Maggie" that wakes him up

"you coming, you not leaving Daniel behind" referring to himself in third person,

"it's your not leaving me behind and i…." she couldn't finish her sentence one look into his begging eyes and she was a goner

"no I'm not leaving I'm staying the night with you and Maggie" that put a perfect smile on his face.

"Let's go before they leave with out us" Letty said as she saw Maggie putting the kiss in the ban.

"Do you want to ride with me?" she asks as she took his little hand, he just look at her and his smiled brighten ten fold.

"All take that as a yes" and they started walking towards Maggie.

"I'll drive this little one, Maggie, and I hope you have room for me at the orphanage" Letty said as she and Daniel pass Maggie on their way to her car, she had parked it next to the ban when she had gone to get the picnic, that she had preparer for her on Dom, from the car. She opens the car and secures Daniel on the back sit. She got herself settle on her sit and look at her cell phone on the passenger sit, she had turn it off the night before and she hasn't bother to turn it on she didn't want to talk to anyone but now she had spent the whole day at the beach and she knew that Maggie was right the team was probably worried sick about her, 'but who to call? She didn't want to call mia she would ask to many question. Jess she would call him' as she took her cell phone and turn it on noticing she had her inbox full 'probably Mia calling,I'll check that later' she quickly dial jess number.

Ring, ring.

At the house.

Mia, Vince, Leon and jess were all in the kitchen, they had been looking for Letty the whole day looking for Letty

"did you talk to hector and Edwin?" ask Mia for the million time to the boys

"yes Mia for the million time yes we talk to everyone we went to the places she usually goes, we call her brother in Alabama he is just as worried if not more god we event went to her old friends houses even thou she hasn't talk to any of them in years, she is not there" Vince responded irritated

"Mia you need to calm down did you try her cell phone again?" ask Leon

"no, Leon how could I have forgotten" she said with as much sarcasms as she could mutter

"of course I call her cell phone but I have left so many messages that her inbox is full, oooooooo and so mad and worried" she said as she sat down in one of the chairs

"here drink this and calm down, I'm sure she's alright is there one thing she knows how to do is take care of herself" said jess as he handed her a beer

"you know what really gets me that here we are all worried about Letty and the one person who should be out of his mind with worry is in the next room watching TV" said Mia as she look at the door that lend to the living room were Dom was laughing at something on TV

"uuu I could just kill him" she said as she got out of the chair to go kill him but Vince caught her and sat her down again "stay there we need to think of something, she can just disappear into thin air" just as he finish saying this jess cell phone rang

As he looks at the caller id he saw that it was Letty

"were the hells are you Letty? Do you know how worry we are?" he all but yell into his cell phone they all look at him

"is Letty let me talk to her" said Mia

" jess listen to me don't put Mia on the phone look I'm fine I'm with.. Some friends, I guess you guys know what happened so, I'm not going to go into details I'm fine and well… I don't know yet what I'm going to do, I'm going to stay with some friends for the time being until I can decide what to do so don't expect a call or nothing from me for a couple of days after I've come to a decision I will call mia but for now just know that I'm fine and that I love you guys, bye" and with that she hung up

"what did she say? Is she coming home? Were is she?" said Mia who had been trying to take the phone from him

"she said she's fine and that she is staying with some friends for the time being that when she comes to a decision about what she is going to do that she is going to call you us to let us know, but that for know that we should just let her be" said jess with a sad face

"I know that this time was different" said Leon

"what friends? We are her friends, what friend is she talking about? We went to every single friend she had and she wasn't with them" said Mia getting hysterical

"calm down mia she is fine and I'm sure that in a couple of days she is going to be back just like she said" Vince said as he took her in his arms.
