Chapter 8

After Dom went back to his office I got Letty to give me the grand tour and show me where everything was and all. But all day my mind kept wandering back to the conversation that Dom and I had. I'd mentioned before that he was the first person that I had told about it. Normally I wouldn't have told him, but I don't know for all my trying, it just came out, the whole sordid thing, just came spilling out of my mouth. It was kind of odd knowing that another person knew something like that about you.

Most of what I had told him was true, Sean, yeah, that was his name, Sean. Didn't sound like the name of a rapist, did it, but then again what did a rapist name sound like? I sighed, shaking my head at my own mental rambling.

Sean Martin.

His name even left a bad taste in my mouth. It hadn't always been like that though. In the beginning I actually though highly of the jackass.

Oh, stop kiddin' yourself, El, you more then thought highly of him, yo' ass was in love with him, I reflected, miserably.

Sean, Sean, Sean. He was on my mind 24/7. I couldn't have gone a day without thinking about him. But what would you expect from a fifteen-year-old that thought she was in love? If you'd have asked me back then I would have told you that the sun revolved around him. Ya, see how far-gone I was. And the fact of the matter was I couldn't solely blame him for how fucked up I am. My mother also held a big contribution to that cause. Now don't your see why I said my life was one big drama?

My father died when I was 12; after he died something inside of her shattered. She turned into some kind of whore in a vain attempt to make the pain go away. My mother wasn't like most women. When my father died, she didn't do the motherly thing and hold dear the one thing that held her to him, instead she pushed me away. I don't know, I guess she wanted to forget about him, and when she looked at me that's all she saw. At first, I didn't understand, but as the years went on, and we became more like complete strangers living inside the same house, I began to comprehend and except that, that was how she eased her lose.

Soon after that Sean-y boy came into the picture. He made me feel, for the first time in years, that somebody beside myself loved me. Everything was great; we were great. I had a lot of firsts with him, first kiss, first date, first guy that I had sex with, and a few other firsts that I'd rather not mention. Our relationship was fine for nearly a year before the cheating started, and other shit along with it. I ignored it, or tried to as best I could, stupid me. In my delusional mind I didn't want to lose him. I went along with it for a while, until I couldn't take the shit any longer. What I didn't tell Dom was that on the night he raped me, I went to his house to 'confront' him. And I was the one that ended up in an orange jumper with shackled around my feet. Go, fig.

After I got out of that situation, I fled the place that I had once called home, and decided to start over someplace where no one knew me, my mother, or Sean. And a place where neither one of them could find me and find some new way to fuck me over.

So I moved to L.A. all sun all the time, and the place where the racing scene was the hottest. I had come to L.A. about a 6 months back, right after my 18th birthday. I didn't immediately go back to racing though, I cooled it for awhile. Worked a lot of odd jobs, to get my rid fixed up. And when I did go to the races it was only as a spectator. I wanted to keep a low profile for awhile, make sure, my mother didn't try to find me. As time past I got back into the swing of things and I felt that at least some part of me had found some peace again.

"Yo, mami? You a'ight?" Letty asked concern in her voice.

I snapped to attention and met her worried gaze, "Yeah, I'm fine." I sighed, wrapping my arms around myself. That little trip down memory lane had shaken me a little.

Letty searched my eyes intently, "You sure don't look 'fine' to me." She began, "What's the matter, chica?"

I looked at Letty for a moment, for some reason I wanted to tell her everything. I guess Dom had opened the floodgates with his little inquisition. But in the end I held off on saying anything about it, for now anyway. I knew that someday, I'd have to say something, maybe not everything, but enough.

I tilted my head to the side, a grin forming on my lips, "Its nothing, just a little nervous about my date with Leon." I lied.

Letty stopped dead and gaped, brown eyes wide, "You and Leon have a date?" She blurted out, loud enough for everybody else to hear.

I took a quick peak over my shoulder at Leon, who was working under the hood of a red and black Mitsubishi eclipse. He didn't make a move, apparently he hadn't hear Letty.

I grabbed her by the arm and ushered her out of the garage and over to the diner, where Mia was taking a patron's order. I turned to Letty and chuckled at the look she was giving me.

"What?" I said sitting down on a stool.

She broke into a big grin, "You and Leon have a date?" She repeated sitting next to me.

"What?" I heard Mia exclaim behind me as she approached us.

Letty turned to her grin still in place, "You heard me, girl. Ella and Leon have a date."

Mia looked at me, both eyebrows raised, "Oh, and when did this happen?" She added, "I sure do miss a lot when I'm over here." Mia said sitting.

"Come one, chica, dish the dirt, out with it." Letty pressed.

I sighed deeply, "There's nothin' to tell." I joked and broke into a snort of laughter as both Mia and Letty glowered.

"Okay, I'll talk." I rolled my eyes, then told then about the kiss last night that Leon and I shared in the bathroom. "I'm stunned you guys didn't figure it out then, but I guess you two were too preoccupied to notice, huh?"

"Damn, straight." Letty jested.

"So," Mia questioned. "Where's he taking you?"

I shrugged, "I don't know he won't tell me; says it's a surprise." I said, wondering myself.

"What ya going to wear?" Letty asked. I shrugged, I hadn't really thought about that. I'd probably find something. I've never been into clothes; what ever I found that was cotton or denim that was what I wore. Great style, huh?

Letty began shaking her head, "that, chica, will never do. You just can't find 'something to wear." She said slowly as if talking to a child.

"Why?" I asked, bewildered.

"Because, you're going out on a date." She emphasized the word date, to make her point. "Right, Mia?"

Mia nodded in agreement. I looked at the pair, resisting the urge to laugh. They were actually serious.

"That's all fine and well, but the only kinds of clothes I own are what you see on me now." I motioned to my pink baby-T and another pair of low-riding jeans.

Both Mia and Letty grinned, and Mia got up. I noticed that the guy that had been in here earlier was now gone, and Mia was counting out the cash register. What the hell was she doing and why was Letty still giving me this sly, secretive grin.

When Mia was done she turned around and held the diner key up in the air, "Closing time." She sang.

"What are you doing, you can't close, it's only 3:00 in the afternoon."

She waved a dismissive hand, then she and Letty dragged me outside and announced, "We're going shopping!" Mia locked up and we walked to the entrance of the garage.

"I can't leave, I just started today, Dom's gonna be pissed." I said, weakly.

"Oh come on, Dom's not the sole owner of the garage or the diner. They're both half mine. So when I say we're going shopping, we are going shopping." I sighed giving up.

"Okay, but we're taking my car." Mia and Letty shrugged.

I unlocked the car doors and climbed into the driver's seat, "and there is no way of getting out of this?" I asked as a last resort after they had climbed into the car.

Letty beamed, "Nope, Mami, not a chance in hell."

I sighed as I pulled out onto the road.

"This is going to be fun." I muttered as I drove.
