O'Connor Household

Wednesday Afternoon

Los Angeles

No One's POV

Today marks exactly one week since Darryl, was released from the hospital and the gang returned back to LA. Since then Brian, wanted to spend more to with his brother. So today after school Darryl would, go on his first practice drive around town. Meanwhile back at the O'Connor household Mia, was currently talking with Dom in the living room.

"So Mia how have things been?" Dom asked

"Pretty good; Brian and Darryl have been out every night this week doing something different"

"He still feeling guilty about what happened?"

"Yep"

"Poor Buster; I would feel the same way if something happened to you"

"But Dom we're grown-ups"

"I know but it would still hurt to see your sibling lay in a hospital bed fighting for their life"

"Understandable: I just hate that he's taking the blame"

"Yeah me too; when we find Carter I'm going to end him"

"But he could anywhere by now"

"Oh don't worry we'll find him and his crew"

"Looks like we've have to come out of retirement"

"Pretty much but enough of that; Where did the O'Connor Brothers head to today?"

"Brian said he was going to start teaching Darryl how to drive"

"Hmmm I wonder how that's going"

"Looks like we're about to find out"

The Toretto Siblings turned their attention towards the front door which, was roughly pushed opened and then entered an angry Brian and Darryl.

"That's it!;I'm never taking you driving EVER AGAIN!" Brian yelled

"Ooooh Promise?" Darryl snapped back sarcastically

"Guys what happened?" Dom asked

"Oh I'll tell you what happened. Me being the wonderful big brother than I am picked Darryl up from school today; so he could practice driving"

"What's so bad about that?"

"He wouldn't listen to a single thing I said and nearly killed us!"

Darryl rolled his eyes before speaking

"Okay first of all Brian is being over dramatic; all I did was go a little bit faster than the recommended speed limit"

"You cut through three lanes of traffic and almost crashed into another car trying to get over!" Brian argued back

"Well he's supposed to wait until it's safe to do so BRIAN!"

"And you're not supposed flip him off either DARRYL!"

The two brothers continued to argue back and forth until Mia, stepped in and broke them apart

"Alright guys that's enough! Obviously you're both very angry about the outcome of today and just need time to cool off"

Darryl sent his brother a dirty glare before saying "I'm going to my room"

And stomped all the way upstairs and slammed his bedroom door behind him

"I'm gonna go for a walk" Brian said leaving out the front door

"Well it looks like their day went well" Dom said sarcastically

Mia laughed and looked at her brother "Yep perfect"

Thursday Morning

O'Connor Household

Los Angeles

No One's POV

The Next Morning Darryl, woke up still angry about what happened yesterday. Yet He was glad that it wasn't the weekend and that he didn't have to be around Brian all day. The young blond pushed back his covers, stretched and then pick today's outfit and got dressed. Next he went downstairs with intentions to eat breakfast and take his insulin. Upon reaching the kitchen he sees Mia and Brian sitting down in the dining room drinking coffee.

"Good morning Mia" Darryl said happily

He then sent his brother another dirty glare and said "Brian" without any emotion in his voice

"Morning Darryl; do you want me to make you some breakfast?" Mia asked

"No that's okay I'll just take a banana and a protein shake"

"You sure that's gonna be enough?"

"Yeah I'm not really that hungry"

"Alrighty then…...Brian do you have anything to say to Darryl?"

"Nope" he simply replied

"I'm sure you do" Mia said nudging him in the shoulder

"No can't think of nothing"

"That's okay Mia what's the point on an apology if he doesn't mean it"

There was an awkward silence in the room until Darryl was almost out the door

"Wait you're not walking to school are you?" Mia asked

"No Jared's mom is taking me and…...she's pulling up right now; Bye Mia"

"Brian what the hell?"

"What?"

"I thought you we're gonna apologize; Remember our conversation from last night?"

"I was going to but then realized that Darryl should apologize to me!"

"You're being ridiculous"

"Oh am I really Mia? He ignored my instruction and did whatever he wanted to do"

"Yes he was wrong for doing that however, you need to learn on how to control your temper"

"So it's my fault he wasn't listening?"

"You're the grown up Brian! Make him listen"

"I'm still not apologizing" Brian announced crossing his arms

"Ugh sometimes you O'Connor's can drive me insane!" Mia yelled in frustration before getting up and leaving the kitchen

Taylor King Middle School

8th Grade Lunch

Darryl's POV

Well after being in class for what seemed like years lunch time, finally came around. Even though I ate breakfast my stomach, started rumbling at the end of 3rd hour and all of 4th hour. On top of that it was kind of difficult to concentrate on my work because, I kept thinking about my fight yesterday with Brian. Even though it was my fault he, wouldn't even let me focus my attention on driving which made the situation ever worse.

No One's POV

As Darryl continued eating his lunch his friends: Marcus, Caleb and Jared sat down next to him minutes later with their lunches.

"Hey Darryl" They greeted

"Hi" Darryl murmured

"You alright bro?" Marcus asked

"Never better; why you ask?"

"Just seems like you got something on your mind"

The blond sighed before taking a big sip of his lemonade

"Okay you got me; Brian and I had a fight"

"What about?" Jared asked

"Well yesterday after school he took me driving; and it didn't end well"

"What are you implying?"

"Apparently Brian accused me of not following his instructions and nearly killed both of us" Darryl explained

"What were you doing that made him say that?" Caleb questioned

"I just cut through three lanes of traffic and almost crashed with a car trying to get over; but in my defense I couldn't concentrate with Brian talking every two seconds; also he said that He's never taking me driving again"

"Darryl you're in the same family as driving legend Dominic Toretto; just ask him to teach you" Jared mentioned

"Huh I never even thought of that; I'll just ask Dom to teach me he's just as good as Brian"

"Hey Dom" Darryl Greeted

"Hey Darryl; how was school?" Dom asked curiously

"Okay I guess; boring as usual"

The bald man chuckled as he wiped sweat off his forehead

"So what brings you buy?"

"Is Brian around?" Darryl asks

"No he's on lunch right now"

"Okay good; I want to ask you a favor…."

"What would that be exactly?"

"Could you possibly teach me a few things about driving?"

"I don't know Darryl….I'm sure Brian would be mad if I did"

"But you heard him Dom he's never taking me driving again" Darryl mentioned

"You know your brother Darryl he says shit all the time he doesn't mean"

"Okay well he doesn't have to know…..We can do it on the DL"

The young blond could still see that Dom was still hesitant about going through with this but, was happy that he agreed to it.

"Alright fine; I guess showing you a few things wouldn't hurt"

"Perfect"

Two Weeks Later…..

No One's POV

Two weeks later and the O'Connor brothers wouldn't even bother being the same room with each other for longer than five minutes. The family tried talking to both of them individually which didn't work out so well; unless an apology was involved. Dom would pick Darryl up from school on Mondays and Thursdays and let him drive for two hours straight all through town. Everything seemed to going well until Brian just recently found out two days ago. The blond thought about just waiting to see if his brother would eventually break down and tell him however, since they're aren't on talking terms it, would be awhile before that ever happened. Now he's just gonna confront Dom. Also Roman, happened to be visiting his childhood friend at the time.

"I can't believe this shit Rome!" Brian snapped "How the hell could Dom do this to me!"

"Are you sure it was them?" Roman asked "You might have mistaken them for someone else"

"Of Course it was them! They were both in his charger going in the opposite way with Darryl at the wheel"

"Okay so what if it was them? Why do you care?"

"Because I wanted to be the one to teach my brother how to drive" Brian pouted folding his arms

"But didn't you tell him that you're never taking him driving ever again"

"You can't believe everything that comes out my mouth Rome"

"That's true; why don't you just talk to them"

"Of don't worry about that…"

"You're not gonna explode are you Bri?"

"No promises"

"Try to be nice in your approach and not like a dick"

"Yeah okay" Brian said sarcastically

Later on that day….

O'Connor Household

5:27 PM

Los Angeles

Darryl's POV

I didn't have driving lessons today so I came straight home after school. No one was home at the time assuming that Mia went shopping with Letty and Brian, was at the garage working. After taking a long hot shower, grabbing some fruit for a snack and playing videogames for about an hour; it was time to start my homework. Today I had page 548 in my math textbook and my English essay needed to be typed.

Since English would take the longest that's what I started with. I head over to my computer and turn it on and waited patiently for everything to load. Then I log into my school account and opened my essay document and start typing.

Thirty Minutes Later…..

No One's POV

As Darryl continued to type out his essay he hears two familiar voices arguing downstairs; well one's calmer than the other. The blond stopped typing and decided to what was going on.

Darryl tip toed across the second floor and started walking down the stairs and, stopped halfway.

"How could you Dom!? I thought we were brothers!" Brian yelled

"We are Brian! I didn't think it was such a big deal"

"Yeah well it is! I wanted to teach Darryl how to drive!"

"You said Darryl was on his own"

"No I said I'm never taking him driving again!"

"What's the fucking difference?!"

"There isn't! But I was just mad at the time"

"Understandable; Look Brian I'm sorry about not telling you"

The blond sighed softly and ran his hand through his hair

"It's not your fault Dom and I'm sorry too it's just that…"

"What?"

"Ever since our Dad disappeared I always vowed to care and protect my brother as if he were my own child; I taught him to ride a bike, we would play catch, watch cartoons before school and anything else a father would do with his son. Then after his diabetic coma scare it got me thinking that anything could happen in matter of seconds; which is why we've been doing all different types of things everything and driving lessons. Which would put the icing on the cake and fix our brotherly bond but it only seemed to make things worse."

Darryl felt tears build up in his eyes as his brother continued to talk. He didn't even realize that Brian was only trying to get closer to him and rebuild their bond. Dom would have never even been an option if that was the case.

"Brian!" Darryl called out

Both men turned their attention towards the staircase

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"I was have never asked Dom to take me driving if it was supposed to be a brotherly bonding moment" I cried

"Don't be I'm mostly to blame" Brian said in a soft tone

"No you're not; I should have listened to you in the first place"

"It happens; Look why we don't just put this whole thing behind us and start fresh"

"I'd like that"

I approached Brian and gave him a brotherly hug

"So no hard feeling right?" Dom questioned

"Nope we're all good" Brian said

The Next Day…..

"Darryl slow down you're gonna make us crash!" Brian yelled holding on to his seat

"Oh Brian relax I'm going the speed limit" Darryl assured him

"The speed limit is 55 not 85!"

The blond turned his head towards the window and seen that his brother was right

"Oh…..my bad"

Then as he thought things couldn't get worse police lights flashed behind them demanding for Darryl to pull over

"Shit it's the police; Darryl slow down!" Brian demanded

"On it"

The young blond stepped down on the breaks but it seemed as though the car was accelerating faster and faster

"DARRYL! YOU JUST STEPPED ON THE GAS AGAIN!"

"Ooooh whoops"

"Attention all units we have a high speed chase on highway 180 south requesting backup!"

"Ah don't worry I can fix this" Darryl assured his brother

He thought that it was the brake but once again; he just down harder on the gas. The gauge displayed that Darryl was doing 93 miles per hour; flying through traffic. Also instead of four police there were about fifteen or twenty following suit.

"DARRYL I'M NEVER TAKING YOU DRIVING AGAAAINNNNN!"

"FINE WITH MEEEEEEE!"
