The next morning had been very uncomfortable for Dom and Letty. They hadn't talked to each other at all through breakfast, lunch or dinner. They even had a movie night with the entire family and sat on complete opposite ends of the living room.
Everyone was feeling the tension.
"Hey Letty, can you get me a beer?" Dom said, trying to break the tension.
"Fine." She said as she got up and grabbed a beer from the fridge. "Here's your goddamn beer, Dom." She said as she poured it in his lap.
"What the hell?"
"That's part of what's coming and to remind you to get your own fucking beer." She said as she marched upstairs. She made sure to slam the door for extra hard so he would understand she wasn't kidding.
"What the hell have you two been fighting about so much?" Vince asked, after Letty went upstairs.
"She's mad at me for what I did."
"What exactly did you do?" Leon asked.
"I cheated on her. I was drunk and wasn't thinking straight. I fucked up."
"Whoa." Jesse said.
"You know she's really hurt, right Dom." Mia said.
"What do you know, Mia? Why do you even care, anyway?"
"Oh, so it's alright for these imbeciles to get up in your personal business, but when I, your sister, do it, you get all defensive."
"Whatever, Mia."
"Asshole." She said as she walked upstairs to comfort Letty. "Letty, can I come in?" Mia said softly as she knocked on the door.
"Go away, Mia." Letty said from the room.
"Please just let me in."
"Fine."
Mia walked in and saw Letty sitting on the bed, with tears stains on her cheeks.
"Why are you crying?" The young Toretto asked as she closed the door behind her.
"It's the fucking hormones."
"What happened? I mean there's gotta be a reason you poured cold beer in Dom's lap."
"I was just pissed that he had the nerve to tell me to get him a beer. I mean he can get his own beer."
"That can't be the only reason."
"Things have just been so tense today. I caught glaring at me several times today. I know he's pissed, but he has no right to be. He's the one who fucked everything up. I didn't do anything wrong. He needs to wake p and see that."
"Sometimes anger can control people. He's angry and probably a little hurt over what you said to him last night. He just wants someone to blame other than himself. Considering you're the only other person in the relationship, he blames you."
"Damn, Mi. If nursing doesn't work out for ya, you should consider becoming a shrink. You're good."
At this, Mia chuckled.
"Do you think I should go apologize?"
"Yeah, probably."
Letty got up, walked out of the room, and walked downstairs. When she got downstairs, she motioned for the guys to scram.
"What the fuck do you want, Letty?"
"I wanted to say I'm sorry."
"Wow, this is a first. Leticia Ortiz is apologizing."
"I can take it back."
"Fine, I accept it." He said, putting his hands up in surrender.
"Good."
Letty started to walk back upstairs, when Dom stopped her.
"Can we at least try?"
"What?"
"Can you give me a second chance? Can we try to make this work?"
"Dom, you really hurt me. I don't want you to hurt me again. I don't want to put my heart out on the line again."
"Let, I promise I won't fuck up again. This time, things will be different. Please?"
"Fine, but this time everything is on my terms."
"Thank you."
"You should probably got take a shower and change your clothes.."
"Wanna join me?" Dom asked with a sly grin.
"Ha ha, no."
"Worth a shot." He said as he went upstairs.
