AN: So we are finally getting into the movie in this chapter. I am adding a lot of things in it since we have two sisters involved but most of it is going to be same from the movie. Hope you guys are enjoying this! Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and stuck with this story. Did everyone see that trailer during the Super Bowl? Freaking amazing! I wanted to cry! They blew up the house! That literally broke my heart! And where the hell was Jack? :(

Gabriella moved from the car and stared up at the boy she loved. It had been two weeks since Johnny had his goons beat her repeatedly in the face. It had been two weeks since Dom told Jesse she was still talking to Johnny. They had talked but Jesse felt like a break was necessary.

"Jesse, will you please stop and just let me…"

"What? Explain?" Jesse turned around. Gabriella stopped and winced at the pain as she squinted her eyes. The sunglasses covered her face as she stared up at him. "I am at work Gabriella, can we please do this some other time?"

"No." She gasped. "I can't wait any longer. You won't talk to me. You won't look at me."

"I can't right now."

"Please just tell me how to fix this? That's all that I want to do."

"This can't be fixed Gab!" He yelled. He looked around the room before shaking his head. "He let some guys beat you up Gab but yet I still feel like you want to forgive him for it."

She shook her head. "I don't forgive him at all."

"Why did you call him that night Gab?"

"He called me Jesse. I was just talking to him. I am sorry okay. I am so sorry. I just need you to look at me…"

"I can't look at you Gab." He whispered. "It's just too hard."

"Why? Because you think it's your fault? It's my fault Jesse. I did this to myself. I can't blame anyone but myself for this. I just wanted things to change. I can't stand all this hate. I really can't. But I see now, I see that it's never going to change. It's always going to be like this and it kills me on the inside. I know what Dom did, it was shitty. It really was. But I can't blame him for what happened with Johnny. I really can't. So I am begging you right now just look at me and to hold me in your arms because I feel like I am going to fall apart at any moment." Tears trickled down her face as he finally looked up at her. She took off the sunglasses and revealed her bruised face. He shook his head as he moved over to her jerking her into his arms.

"I love you so much." He whispered. "I really do and I am so sorry for what happened to you."

"I don't know what to do Jesse. I don't know…" She cried. He soothed her by rubbing the back of her head.

"It's okay, I am right here."

She nodded her head pulling away from him. He wiped the tears from her face before softly kissing her. He squeezed his eyes shut as he pulled away from her. "I just think right now, we need to take a break from each other. We have too much going on right now and I feel like a break would be better for us."

"No." She gasped. "No I don't think that's a good idea at all. Jesse…please don't do this."

"You know its best Gab. With everything that is going on, we just need…"

"NO!" She yelled.


She shook her head of the thought as a loud bang caught her attention. She looked up as Jesse was staring at her. "You alright?" He asked. She nodded her at him with a small smile.

"Let's go!" Vince yelled as Gabriella moved back into the office. "Gab, we are going to eat. You want anything?" He asked poking his head in the office. She shook her head as she began typing. "You sure?"

"I will get something in a few. Let me finish this. I will meet you guys there." She smiled at him.

"Give him some more time Gab. He will come around."

She didn't bother looking up at him as she began to type harder. Dom saw the whole thing go down that day but did nothing. He knew it had to happen to whether it hurt her feelings or not. She had too much on her plate and having a boyfriend wasn't helping the situation. She hadn't heard from Johnny either. She still couldn't believe that he didn't do anything to stop those guys, he actually told them to do it. The garage was quiet as everyone left for lunch. She liked it this way. She was able to get more work done. She felt her mind wonder again as she thought about the day that Johnny came to the store.


She looked over at the clock as she noticed she hadn't been working. She laughed it off as she cut off the computer and closed the office door behind her. Maybe if she ate something she would be able to focus more. She climbed into the car turning the music up real loud and rolling down the windows. It was still summer time and she loved it. Her stomach growled as she put the car in reverse and sped down the hill of the garage. The diner was only minutes away so it didn't take her long to get there. She shook her head as she saw the familiar red truck sitting on the side of the road. That boy wouldn't give up. As she pulled closer, she saw Vince and Brian in the street fighting. She quickly parked the car and took off running towards them.

"BRIAN!" She yelled. She tried to stop Vince but Dom beat her to it. He grabbed Vince shoving him backwards as Gabriella went over to Brian.

"He was in my face!" Brian moved forward.

"I'm in your face." Dom moved closer to him. Gabriella grabbed his arm pulling him back.

"Stop!" She yelled. Vince moved forward as Leon tried to stop him.

"STOP!" Dom screamed. "You embarrass me!"

"Vince!" Gabriella yelled. "Brian are you okay?"

"Jesse give me his wallet." Gabriella watched as Jesse bent down grabbing Brian's wallet from the ground. "Brian Earl Spilner. Sounds like a serial killers name. Is that what you are?"

"Nah man." Brian wiped his face.

"Don't come around here again." Dom demanded.

"Dom!" Gabriella yelled.

"Man this is bullshit!" Brian yelled.

"You work for Harry right?" Dom got into his face.

"Yeah. I just started." Brian looked over at Gabriella.

"You were just fired!" Dom spat before walking away.

"Dom, this is stupid!" Gabriella yelled.

"I'll see you around Gab." Brian shook his head as he stormed over to his truck and slamming the door.

"Brian!" Gabriella yelled. It was no use he was already gone. She ran over to Vince shoving him aside as she ran into the diner. "Really? You are going to get him fired."

"This is none of your business!" Dom yelled.

"He is my friend!" She yelled back. She looked over at Mia who was glaring at Vince. "What is this huh? Is this some jealous bullshit?"

Vince glared at her as he caught the ice pack in his hand. Leon moved over to her grabbing her by the shoulders. "No, this is not happening. That shit is stopping right now. He is my friend. I worked with him for almost three weeks now and he is a good person. You cannot go fighting everyone that has a crush on her."

"Leave me out of this please." Mia turned around and began cleaning the counter. There was silence in the diner as everyone was staring everywhere. She continued to glare at Vince when she heard Dom on the phone.

"Harry, its Dominic Toretto. You just hired a new kid by the name of Brian Spilner. Yeah him. I want him gone. He isn't good for business…he just came into my diner starting shit with one of my mechanics…fine…you keep him in line Harry. I don't want to see him around here again." He slammed the phone down on the table.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Gabriella yelled. "You are seriously going to get him fired over this?"

"This is not your concern Gab!" Vince yelled.

"You can shut up now! I am so mad at you!" She pointed her finger in his face. "Brian is my friend Dom, okay. He is not a bad person. Jackass over there I know started this shit, so why are you taking it out on Brian?'

"Really? You defending him?" Vince yelled.

"I said shutup!" Gabriella yelled.

"Can you guys leave, I am tired of this shit. I want you all out of here now!" Mia yelled pointing to the door. "I have a business to run and no one is going to come in here if we are all yelling at each other."

"Gabriella, if you are hungry eat something and then go back to work please." Dom was calm.

"I'm not hungry anymore." She turned around to leave.

"Gabriella…" Vince grabbed her arm.

"I am so mad at you right now. I can't even look at you." She replied softly. She pulled her arm away from him as she walked over to her car. She was going to get a lot of shit for what she was about to do but she didn't care. He was her friend.


She quickly pulled into a parking space before running into Harry's shop. She immediately saw him standing at the counter. "Brian!" She rushed over to him. "Are you okay?"

"What are you doing here?" Brian was looking around the place.

"No one knows I am here…I mean I am sure they know but I don't care."

"Gab…"He whispered.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"I am fine. I can take a punch." He smirked.

"What the hell happened? Why were you fighting him?"

"I guess I over stepped my boundaries."

She shook her head. "Vince can be a jealous prick sometimes. I am so sorry. Did Harry fire you? Do you still have a job here?"

"Yeah, I am all that he has right now so he can't really afford to lose me. Everything is okay Gab. Don't worry about it."

She shook her head. She looked around the room as everyone was clearing out. "So, there is a race tonight. I am going. I am not allowed to race right now but he is letting me start going to them again. I was going to see if you wanted to come."

Brian smiled down at her. "You asking me on a date?"

She frowned at him shaking her head. "Just forget it." She turned to walk away.

"No!" He moved around the counter grabbing her arm before she left. "I was thinking about heading down there to see what it was like. Any pointers?"

"About what?" She asked. "You aren't racing are you?"

He didn't respond again. "Wow! You are serious? When did you start racing? Do you even know anything about racing?"

"Yes. I do actually. I might look like a pretty boy surfer but I did race back when I lived in Arizona. I am quite good actually."

Gabriellla shook her head. "I need to head back but I guess I will be seeing you tonight then?" She couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure, I will see you tonight." She walked away shaking her head. Was he really going to race? He was going to get himself killed. She thought against telling anyone of her family that he was going to be there tonight, she didn't want any drama. She pulled into the garage just as Vince was walking out. She smiled to herself as she climbed out of the car.

"How's the pansy ass gay boy doing? He cry?"

"Really?" She was smirking. "He actually was good, wasn't crying at all. He didn't really seem to phased by it. Maybe you should punch harder."

"Oh you want me to punch someone?" He moved quickly over to her grabbing her by the waist and lifting the air. "You still mad at me?"

"Yes." She punched him hard in the stomach as he let her go. "You were being childish."

"So?"

"So!" She punched him again. "Stop doing that."

He grabbed her arms holding them behind her body as she tried to get away from him. She struggled as he began to laugh. "What you can't get out?"

"I will slap you when I get out of here."

"No you won't because I am not letting you go until you say Vince I forgive you and I love with all of my heart. You are the best person in my life and I would do anything for you."

"No."

"Say it or you aren't getting out of this."

"No."

"Vince!" Dom yelled. "Put her down and get your ass back in here."

Gabriella began to laugh as Vince put her down on the ground. He shoved her causing her to hit her car before walking away. She shook her head as she straightened her shirt out. "You too miss priss, the paperwork is piling up."

"Yeah yeah."


Gabriella moved over beside Jesse in the kitchen as they sat down to eat dinner. The race was that night and everyone getting ready except for them. They were eating together not speaking.

"So this break that we are on does that involve not speaking to each other?' She asked looking up at him.

"No." He smiled at her before looking back down at his plate.

"Jess, I know that you think that I…I don't know was cheating on you or whatever. I really don't know what you thought I was doing. I would never do that to you. I am sorry that I even talked to him or was trying to rekindle things between me and him. I wasn't thinking about you or what it could do to our relationship. We just threw three years of being together away. Why?"

"He hurt you Gab. He hurt you and it broke my heart to see you like that. Your face was…"

"Beatened? Yes I know. I was there."

"Stop." He whispered.

She nodded her head. "I am going to go get ready. Dom is making me ride with him tonight. it seems that I still can't be trusted. I will see you tonight."

"Will you stop?" He yelled.

"No!" She yelled back. "I can't do this anymore Jess. I can't do it."

He stood up quickly grabbing her arms and bringing her into his. "I love you." He told her. "You still make my heart skip a beat every time I see that beautiful smile of yours. I just can't get through my head that you were going to go to him to talk to him about things that were going on in this family. He has nothing to do with anything anymore but yet you still turned to him."

She shook her head. "I can't explain it…"

"I know you can't but you still did it Gab. You still went to him and not to me."

She covered her face with her hands. "I just want us to be together, that's all that I want right now."

"We will be. I promise."

"Gab, let's go!" Dom walked into the kitchen. He saw the tears streaming down his sisters face. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." She whispered wiping her face of the tears. "We were just talking."

"So you cry every time you talk now?"

"Can we go please? Just let it go Dom." She grabbed his arm pulling him towards the door.

"Gab…" Jesse moved forward.

"I'm fine Jesse, I always am." she told him before pushing Dom out the door. They waited for everyone to get to their cars before they drove away.

"You want to talk about what is going on with Jesse?" Dom finally asked when he noticed she wasn't talking.

"We broke up."

"I knew that."

"That's all there is to know." She looked out the window.

"He just needs time Gab…"

"He has had two weeks. What am I supposed to do? I can't take back for almost going to Tokyo or talking to Johnny on the phone that day. I can't take any of it back. So what I am supposed to do?"

"Give him time. He will come around."

She nodded her head biting her lip. "I miss him Dom. I never meant for any of this to happen."

"I know you didn't. I didn't either."

They were silent after that. She stared out the window as they prepared themselves for the race that night. There were already a ton of people gathered outside the old abandoned building. They always had to make an entrance. She loved it. All eyes to turned to them as they rode in together. Vince swung open her door grabbing her from the seat and lifting her in the air. "You ready!" He yelled. She began to laugh as he sat her back down on the ground. That's when she saw him. Brian. He was standing beside a green Eclipse. She shook her head as he waved at her.

"Yo Hector!" Dom slapped hands with him as Hector walked over to her and kissing her on the head.

"Hey ma! How are you doing?"

"Good!"

"Okay listen up!" Dom yelled. Everyone grew silent as he spoke. She stared over at Brian who was listening intently.

"Hey, wait, hold up! I don't have any cash, but I do have the pink slip to my car

"Wait, you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box!" Jesse chimed in causing Gabriella to laugh. Brian was embarrassing himself.

"He knows I can box!" Brian pointed to Vince who just glared at him. Gabriella put her around his waist and squeezed. She couldn't help but smile though. She found this quite amusing. "So check it out, it's like this If I lose, winner takes my car clean and clear. But if I win, I take the cash, and I take the respect!

Dom began to laugh. "Respect?"

"To some people, that's more important." Brian looked over at Gabriella who nodded her head. Dom looked back at her to before speaking again.

"That your car?"
