The car ride home was a casual silence. Dom still weighed heavy on my mind. Why do I feel like I betrayed him? I felt as if I cheated on him but he isn't even mine why do I feel like I cheated? I shook my head. I need to stop thinking like he's mine because he's not. He's the older brother of the best friend I had ever had. I mean seriously none of my so called friends from Tennessee have even tried to contact me, not even Sabrina who I've known since kindergarden. It hurt more than I realized. I sighed and changed my focus to the window again. We arrived at the Toretto house in no time and I dreaded getting out of the car. I didn't want to face Dom. I already knew he was mad maybe he left already. I rolled my eyes at myself. Really Roxie? He wouldn't leave when he specifically said he wanted to talk to you both. I shook my head, I guess its time to face the music. I stepped out of the car and let out a huge gust of air. Mia turned around and looked at me and grinned.

"You've got nothing to worry about he's going to huff and puff and that's it. Think of him like a stuffed evil teddy bear, he's able to talk the talk but he doesn't ever follow through with his threats when it comes to me." Just as we went to walk into the house Letty came storming out of it.

"Ya know what Dom I'm sick of this shit! Its always the same thing over and over again! I'm done!" She did her best to storm around us. Dom came to the screen door obviously planning to yell back.

"You act like its my fault that girls breathe down my neck I can't help it Let. There ya go storm off like you always do. Whatever!" He attempted to turn around when Letty's voice stopped him.

"Well then maybe its time for me to find someone who CAN help it!" He actually laughed. I stood there with my mouth hanging open a bit.

"If there's a man out there that can put up with your craziness more power to him," he said and stormed off into the house. Mia turned and looked at me with a nervous expression crossing her face.

"So remember when I said he was a teddy bear? Now he's a full grown grizzly in defense mode. Lets go get ready in my room and hopefully our paths don't cross until he's cooled down." I nodded and practically sprinted to keep up with her as she ran into the house and straight to her room. We didn't stop fast walking until the door was shut quietly behind us. Mia then turned to me and smiled.

"Who is getting ready first?" I shrugged.

"You can go first." She grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom to shower and get dressed.

I looked around her room and made sure the window wasn't open and I started to change my clothes. I quickly got dressed in my new outfit and walked over into the mirror. I don't even know what to expect from the races. I sighed. I am in way over my head but hopefully no one notices. I'm just a southern girl with a different way a speakin then these people around here. I have to just suck it up and get a grip. Mia really wants to go and if I don't go then she can't. I shook my head and Mia opened the door snapping me out of my thoughts. She already looked phonemonal and she hadn't even started on her make up yet. Her dark hair bounced when she walked in perfect curls. The jeans fit her perfectly and the shirt only showed off a hint of clevage. She looked stunning. She did a turn around and I applauded. She graciously took a bow which caused me to giggle. In her left hand she held some kind of hair thing that I have never seen before.

"Sit on the bed I'm gonna do your hair." I nodded since there really wasn't any way I could tell her no. She started by putting my hair in a high ponytail and leaving a little hair on both sides of my face to frame it. She then took what she called a crimper and went to work. What the hell was a crimper? I've never heard of it before. I sat as still as I could as she pulled at my hair in all kinds of directions and some of it really hurt. After what felt like forever she had me turn around to face her. I reached for the mirror and she smacked my hand.

"You can't see my work until its finished. Now close your eyes." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and closed them instead. I sat there anxious as can be as I waited for Princess Beauty Queen to finish doing what she's doing. Finally I heard her "and my masterpiece is finished!" This time I didn't resist the urge to roll my eyes. I did and I had a mirror shoved in my face but before I could say anything sarcastic I got a glimpse of myself and about fell over. I was hot! I didn't even recognize myself, except for my freckles across my cheeks and nose. I raised ny hand up to my cheek to check and see if it was real and it was. I finally tore my gaze off of myself and onto Mia's face and she had a smug expression. I wrinkled my nose at her and she laughed.

"Hot huh? I have to start doing my own make up now." She got up and grabbed her make up off of the bed and went to her vanity and got to work. Her make up didn't take as long as mine did but the effect was still the same but then again Mia looked just as pretty with make up as she did without it.

It must be amazing looking that stunning without trying. I sighed and turned my body around so my legs hung off of the bed. Just then Dom walked into the room. The look on his face went from mad to lethal all over again. I quickly grabbed my legs and pulled them to my chest. This was not looking good.

"WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT ON YOUR FACE?"

Mia rolled her eyes at him.

"Obviously its make up."

"YOU'RE WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE WEARING THAT SHIT! DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO THINK YOU'RE EASY?!" Mia once again rolled her eyes.

"I know that we're not slutty and we are going out why can't we wear make up huh? You're not dad Dom, stop acting like it." All I could do is watch both of them as they argued. It was like a tennis match, not that I watch tennis because I don't, both of them back and forth. Maybe I should be glad that I am an only child.

"Just because you know ya ain't a whore doesn't mean the guys at the track won't think that. What if they try to hurt you guys? I'll never be able to live with myself." He came over to the bed and sat with his head in his hands.

"Dom nothing is going to happen. Come on they know I'm a Toretto, who is stupid enough to mess with me?" Dom opened his mouth to reply and Antonio came in.

"Everyone ready to go?"

I realized we were at the race before the car stopped. But looking around this didn't look like a street race to me. We pulled into a parking lot of some dirt track. I looked at Mia confused and she returned the look. We all got out of the car when a truck with a hauler trailer pulled up. I was more confused now more than ever. We both looked at Dom and he grinned. The bastard had tricked us. Tonio walked up to the truck and pointed to the other side of the gate and the truck drove in. He turned to us and handed us some money.

"Go get some seats girls we've got to get the car unloaded. Dom will be popping in and out of the stands. There's extra money for food in there too in case you guys get hungry. I love you Mi," and he walked away. I shrugged my shoulders in Mia's direction and we started to walk to the counter to pay our way in.

"I can't believe Dom lied to us!" I just sighed. Of course he didn't want us going to a street race Johnny and Jace would be there and that was the ultimate no-no. I listened quietly while she vented as we made our way to the counter. Dom would be lucky to make it home alive at this point. Mia paid the $20 for our tickets and we got wrist bands. We walked to the stands and decided to sit in the middle. We watched as Tonio's car took to the track. He had to have one of the fastest times to be able to race in the heat. I felt my heart rate pick up as he went into turn one. Mia reached over and squeezed my hand. I looked down at my hand and just like that Tonio flew past us. I bet it is the biggest high driving that fast. My heart was beating out of my chest. He had already completed his first lap and was more than half way done with the second. As fast as he drove he had to have the fastest time.

I was more than surprised when his time registered on the board and he was the third fastest. Maybe I should get into racing cars...

"That was so cool! I don't think my heart as ever beat so fast!" Mia just turned and grinned at me, probably laughing at my excitement. I know I probably look like an idiot but I couldn't help it. I want to experience that thrill. It must be mindblowing! As if my giddiness needed any extra height, out of the corner of my eye I seen Dom and his friends walking up. I tried to tone it down but I couldn't contain the smile on my face. They all sat down around us, Vince on Mia's left, Jesse in front of her, Leon sitting to Jesse's right and Letty was next to him and in front of me. That left Dom, who decided the best place for him was in between Mia and I. I was actually surprised he didn't sit next to Letty, according to what Mia says they always make up. Maybe they had made up and he just chose to sit up here with Mia. I'm probably just overthinking.

"Whats her deal? She goes from looking like her eyes might pop out to like shes constipated." Letty said while motioning towards me. I turned the brightest shade of red and stared down at my feet. I don't know why her words affected me so badly.

"Dads up and cut the shit Letty," Dom said and Letty rolled her eyes.

"You're not my fuckin boss Dom. You weren't when we were together and you sure as hell ain't gonna be now that were not!" My feet became very interesting and I stopped paying attention to the race.

"What the hell is 89 doing riding his ass like that," Vince spoke up. Dom laughed.

"Dad can handle it V." I looked up to see what they were saying just as 89 tried to smash Tonio into turn 2 but he managed to avoid the collision. I felt my heart rate speed back up but this time it wasn't because of the speed this time. As they rounded turn four, 89 got his wish and smashed Tonio's car into the wall. I felt the breath leave my body as Dom jumped up and ran to the fences screaming it was like everything went in slow motion and then the car caught fire and Dom took off in a run towards the pits and quite a few of the officials ran out onto the track and we heard the most sickening scream and Mia literally fell into my arms. The emts pulled Tonio out of the car just as Dom made it to the track. I watched him drop to his knees as Vince and the rest of the crew took off to go get Dom. Tonio was dead.
