Gabriella looked across the room at Leon who was sitting in the chair staring at her. She looked away from him as she looked over at Vince who was sitting right next to her. "I'm calling him." She spoke before grabbing her phone from her lap.

"Are you sure that is a good idea?" Vince asked.

"He knows something V, I know he does."

Vince nodded his head. "Make it quick. I don't need Dom finding out about this."

"Thank you." She whispered. She opened up the phone and quickly finding Johnny's number before pressing send. She waited and waited for him to answer. It went to voicemail. She shook her head closing the phone. "He didn't answer."

"He's probably with Jake." Leon stated. "Come on, it's getting late. Let's just all go to bed."

"No!" Gabriella yelled. "I will not sleep until I know that Johnny had nothing to do with this."

"We don't even know if it was Jake who hit her Gab." Vince sighed. They had been at this since the moment they found out Haley was killed.

"Did anyone see anything? Did they? Why wasn't the other driver questioned or taken to the hospital? Did they not get hurt too? We know who did this Vince, why are you trying to justify it?"

"I am not trying to justify anything. You are upset. I know that and I know that you want revenge on what happened but you getting yourself worked up over this isn't helping anyone."

"Can we stop arguing please?" Leon asked. There was silence. Gabriella sat back against the couch crossing her arms over her chest. She looked over at the clock on the wall. One thirty in the morning.

"Dom should be back soon. Why don't you go upstairs and lay down, I will tell him to come up when he gets back." Vince patted her leg. She shook her head at him. Everyone else in the house was sleep. Leon and Vince decided to stay up with her knowing she would try to find Johnny. She rubbed her fingers in her eyes. She was exhausted. She knew the moment she laid her head down she would pass out. It took two people to pry her off her brother. Vince held her in his arms as Dom went to talk to Hector. She looked down at her hand and realized her was holding it. "How about you lay right here? I will cut the light off and we can wait for him to get home."

She nodded her head at him as he brought her closer to him. She lay down in his lap as he grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and laying it across her body. She looked over at Leon who nodded his head at her before leaning the chair back and laying back himself. She took a deep breath as she squeezed her eyes closed. The sound of Vince's breathing with him rubbing the back of her head put her straight to sleep.

Gabriella's phone began to vibrate in her hand as she shot up from the couch. "HALEY!" She yelled. She put her hand to her chest as she looked around the room. It was still dark outside, but the kitchen light was on and Leon and Vince were nowhere to be found. She looked down at her phone as it began to ring again.

"Gabby?" Vince walked into the living room kneeling down beside her. "You alright?"

She put her hand to her head nodding it quickly. "I just had a bad dream." She looked down at her phone again. "Johnny is calling."

"Dominic!" Vince yelled. "Answer it. We are right here."

Dom came into view as Gabriella opened her phone. She took a deep breath. "Speaker Gab." Vince whispered loudly.

"Gabby?" Johnny's voice filled up the air.

"Johnny, are you okay?" Gabriella asked looked up at Vince. "Where are you?"

"I don't know. I was just driving…"

"Why? What happened?"

"Gab, I need to talk to you okay. I need to talk to you."

"Where is Jake?" Gabriella's hands began to shake as tears filled up her eyes. "Johnny, I need you to tell me where Jake is."

"I did it Gab."

"You did what? What did you do?"

There was a silence as Gabriella jumped off the couch with the phone still in her hand. "Johnny," She whispered. "You can tell me okay. Just tell me where Jake is. We will figure this out…"

"Gabriella…" Vince grabbed her shoulders.

"Johnny…" Gabriella wiped her face of the tears. "Tell me."

"I killed Haley. I didn't know it was her Gab, I didn't know until afterwards. I was just driving and then Jake he…" Gabriella let the phone drop from her hand letting it fall to the floor. The voices were distant but she heard the screaming. She heard her name but she couldn't move. She couldn't respond. Vince lifted her into his arms carrying her over to the couch.

"Gabriella!" Dom was at her side. He had her face between his hands.

"He…she…killed…" She was gasping for air as her brother tried to calm her down. It was four in the morning. The entire house was awake. "HALEY!" Gabriella screamed as Mia came rushing over to her.

"I want her out of here. I don't care where you go, you take her out of here right now!" Dom yelled. Mia wrapped her arms around her sister's body as Gabriella stared straight ahead. "She already has a bag packed. Go to Nevada. Get out of California."

"Dom will you calm down!" Vince yelled.

"Jesse, you, Letty, and Mia. You go. You don't stop do you hear me! You get my sisters out of here." Dom was in Jesse's face.

"Dom, she is shaking really bad. We all just need to calm down." Mia replied. "Gabby, I need you to look at me. Tell me what's going on. What are you feeling? Are you hurt?"

She shook her head as the tears streamed down her face. "Jake wanted me to hate Johnny, he knew I wouldn't be able to forgive him. Johnny killed Haley. He killed her Mia. I don't know what to do. I don't know what I am supposed to do about this…" She sobbed.

"You find him Vince." Dom growled. "I want him found right now."

Jesse walked over to the Gabriella who was sitting on her bed. The sun was up. No one ever went back to sleep that night. She was staring straight ahead when he put his arm around her shoulder kissing her softly on the head. "He asked me to wait for him Jesse. He was going to get out of Yakuza. He wanted me to wait for him and I told him no. I told him I didn't want to."

"Gabby, we need to go now okay. Dom wants us out of Los Angeles before eight."

"I told him no Jesse. I told him no." She repeated herself. He nodded his head. He bent down grabbing her bag off the floor before putting his arm around her and lifting her to her feet. They slowly made their way down the stairs where Dom and Vince were waiting for them.

"Jess, let me talk to you." Dom replied. Jesse nodded his head giving Vince Gabriella's bag. Vince wrapped his arm around her shoulder bringing her into his chest.

"I'm right here okay. I am not going anywhere."

"Will you come with us?" She whimpered. "Please come with us."

Vince looked up at Dom who was discussing plans with Jesse. He tightened his grip on her body. "Dom!" Vince yelled getting his attention. "I'm going with them. I need to be with them."

Dom looked down at Gabriella who had her eyes closed then up at Vince. "Okay, that's fine."

"Okay, let's get you settled in. We should be leaving soon." Vince whispered. He opened the door and helped her down the stairs with her bag in his hand. "Stay right here, I am going to put the bag in the car then I will be right back." Gabriella nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around her body. The sun was bright causing her to squint. It was hot, but she found herself shivering.

"Gabriella!" Johnny appeared behind her causing her to fall to the ground with a scream.

"NO!" Vince yelled running over to her. He scooped her into his arms turning his back to Johnny. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Please…" Johnny begged.

"Johnny!" Dom yelled rushing down to the sidewalk where his sister and Vince stood. Gabriella appeared beside Vince looking at Johnny. He looked beaten up, like he hadn't slept in days. His hair was a mess in front of his face, his skin was pale.

"You need to leave!" Vince yelled.

"Johnny…" Gabriella gasped. She tried to walk over to him but Vince grabbed her hand.

"I am so sorry. I didn't know, I swear to God I didn't know it was her." Johnny explained. "I was just doing a job…"

"Is that what she was to you? Huh?" She cried moving forward. "THAT WAS MY BEST FRIEND!" She screamed shoving him backwards. He tried grabbing her hands but she fought him. "NO!" She smacked him across the face. "Congratulations Johnny, you have now taken two of my best friends from me."

"It was Jake…"

"NO!" Gabriella screamed again. "It was you; this is all on you Johnny. She didn't do anything, she wasn't a part of this. She was kind and loving…" Gabriella bowed her head. "And now she's dead…because of you…" She was silent for a moment. She felt someone's hand on her shoulder. "You asked me to wait for you, you begged me to wait for you. There is no more waiting, I am done. I hate you. I HATE YOU! You are dead to me! As far as I am concerned you died along with Haley. I never want to see you again…if we do you are dead." Gabriella sniffed back the tears crossing her arms over her chest.

"Gab…"

"Tell Jake we will repay the favor he can guarantee that. I would watch your backs if I was you." Vince snarled. "Now get the fuck off our property and don't ever come back here."

Gabriella sat in the car while Vince filled up the tank. She leaned her head up looking at Jesse who was knocked out beside her. She leaned her up looking in the passenger seat where Mia was also asleep. She had the whole house up that morning at four am she knew they were tired. If only her body would let her do the same thing. Letty stirred beside her moving her head then drifting back to sleep. She looked up at Vince who was staring at her through the window. "You need anything?" He asked. She shook her head before turning away from him. Her stomach had knots in it. She felt like she was going to throw up. She was yet again away from her brother in a difficult time and it killed her. She repositioned herself on Jesse before closing her eyes. Nevada. What the hell was there to do in Nevada? She felt the car door close and it come to life before they took off down the open road. Desert. That's what it was. Hot, humid…desert. Her eyes shot open. She shot up looking at Vince in the mirror.

"What is it?" Vince asked looking at her. "You alright?"

"I hate car rides." She mumbled.

"We will be there soon. You want to listen to some music?"

She shook her head. "Let them sleep. It's my fault they are tired."

He nodded his head still looking at her in the mirror. "You think Dom and Leon are going to be okay?"

"Yeah, I don't think anything is going to happen. It's just a precaution right now."

"Thank you for coming with me. I know you wanted to stay."

"I want to keep you safe, that's all that I want."

She gave a soft smile before looking over at Jesse. "You know this is not your fault right?"

"I chose Jesse. Johnny asked me to wait for him because he was going to get out of Yakuza. That's why he was there the other day. He is having some battle within himself for what happened when we were kids. I almost thought about it Vince. He was my best friend…" She sighed rubbing her hand down Jesse's face. "I love this kid. He is amazing."

"Johnny will never be let go from Yakuza. He sold his soul Gab. You did the right thing today."

"I feel…I don't know what I feel. My mind is going in all directions right now and I just can't seem to slow down to even think about anything. If I think, I cry. If I cry, I want to scream. Does it end Vince? Does it? Who else is going to die?"

"No one else is going to die."

"I'm really tired Vince. I am just…exhausted."

"Then sleep baby. We have four hours ahead of us. Just sleep."

She nodded her head lying back down on Jesse. She snuggled closely to him as he wrapped his arm around her bringing her close. She felt her eyelids become heavy as she slowly drifted into sleep. It wasn't the deep sleep she had hoped for. It was the sleep where you feel like you are awake. She begged her mind just to forget everything for a moment but it wouldn't. Her cell phone went off causing her to shoot up.

"Damnit!" Vince hissed. He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. Gabriella stared wide eyed at him before looking down at her phone. "Who is it?"

"Dom…he's cutting this number off. He is getting me a new right now." She sighed throwing the phone into the floor board.

"I'm sorry, I know you were trying to sleep."

"Its fine, I wasn't really sleeping." She rubbed her fingers in her eyes. "Can we stop somewhere; I just need to get out of the car."

"You alright?"

"No." she bent over as her chest became heavy. She was breathing in and out trying to catch her breath.

"Gab…Gabriella!" Vince yelled. He jerked the car to the side of the road cut it off and jumped out. "Everyone up!" Letty shot up as Vince swung the door open jerking Gabriella across her legs. He leaned her up against the car. "Deep breaths Gab. Take deep breaths for me."

"Gabby!" Mia yelled running over to her.

"She's fine. Let her catch her breath. Give her some room."

"Maybe this was a bad idea V. We should go back." Letty chimed in.

"I'm not going back until there is no threat." Vince snapped. "Look at me. Gab, I need you to look at me baby and I need you to breathe with me. Feel my heart beat okay, its calm. I need you to make yours calm too. You can do it. Just breathe." He took slow breaths in and slow breaths out helping her mimic him. "Good girl, you are okay. Everything is okay. We are right here with you." She slowly started breathing normal again as he brought her into his arms. "You scare the shit out of me sometimes." Gabriella couldn't help but laugh as she squeezed him tightly. Mia began rubbing her back as Gabriella grabbed a hold of Jesse's hand.

"Thank you." She whispered. "I love you."
