AN: I am not following the movie. Brian does not kill Tran :)

The ambulance had come and gone taking both Gabriella and Jesse to the hospital. Mia dialed and dialed Dom's number but he wouldn't pick up. She wiped her face from the tears as she grabbed her purse and keys to follow. How were they so blind? Gabriella was just laying there. She didn't even move from the spot the entire time. Mia shook her head as the tears stung her eyes. Her sister was shot. Johnny shot her. She pressed down on the gas as she moved through the traffic. The ambulance was in her sight. "DOM!" she screamed into the phone. It was his voicemail again. "Dom…I need you to call me-back. It wasn't just Jesse who was shot-Dom-" She covered her mouth. "Gabby-it was Gabby. I cant do this alone. I am so-scared." Her voice cracked at the end as she bowed her head throwing her phone to the side. The sound of a horn caught her attention as she jerked the car back onto the road. She took a deep breath trying to focus on the road. She pulled into the hospital right behind the ambulance. She watched as they pulled the two gurneys out. She closed her eyes as she began banging her fist on the steering wheel. The sobs came harder more than ever. Everything had fallen apart in just a matter of hours. She calmed down as she opened the door. She had to be strong. She had to be there for her sister. She was the only one left. Vince was in the hospital, Letty and Leon were gone. She had no idea where they were. Dom went after Tran. She was it. She moved into the hospital walking straight to the desk.

"Can I help you?" The nurse looked up at her. She knew she looked horrible. Her hair was a mess. Her face was stained from tears.

"They just brought-" Her chest jumped. "My sister-she was-"

"Okay, let me let you through the doors." The nurse cut in. Mia nodded her head quickly as she moved over to the doors. "The doctors are right down there. Do you need me to walk you to them?"

"No." She whispered.

"Okay." Mia moved ahead towards the two men in green. She took a deep breath as she approached them.

"Can we help you?"

She didn't move. Her chest jumped. "Ma'am are you okay?"

"My-sister." Mia choked out. She put her hand to her mouth before speaking again. "She was shot. They just brought her-in here."

"Toretto?"

She nodded her head. "Yes, she is in surgery."

Mia nodded her head. "And the boy?"
There was silence. Mia looked up. "Please?" She begged. It was a desperate tone.

"I'm so sorry. He didn't make it."

Mia moved backwards, more like stumbling trying to find something to brace herself with. She didn't even care that she was falling. It never happened, the doctor caught her in his arms. Her hands were shaking as they sat her against the wall. She couldn't move. Jesse was dead. "I want to know…"

"Are you sure that's wise?"

"My sister is dying!" She yelled. "I want to know!"

He knelt down in front of her. "The boy was dead when they brought him in here. He was shot too many times. The girl got shot once…."

"Where?" She gasped out.

"The shoulder, it nipped her aorta. She was bleeding out when they brought her in here. I am the doctor in there right now."

"Why aren't you in there with her?"

"She needs to stabilize. She isn't stable."

Mia covered her face with her hands as she sobbed quietly. "I am really sorry."

"Just-you have to save her okay. Please!"

"We are doing everything that we can. I will come and find you when we are finished. Please have a seat in the waiting area and take deep breaths. We are doing everything we can for your sister right now."

Mia nodded her head. "I am going to get Doctor Robins to walk you back to the waiting room." She felt a hand on her back as she continued to nod her head. Gabriella had to be okay. She just had to.


"Gabriella! I need you to wake up El. I need you to open your eyes for." She just laid there. "Open your eyes Ella, I am right here sweetheart. Just open them."

"Daddy…" She whispered. Her eyes flickered a little but popping open. She squinted at the light shining in her face.

"That's my girl. It's okay."

"Dad?" Gabriella groaned as she sat up in the bed. She looked around the room. "Where am I? What's going on?"

"Shhh." He patted her leg. "You are okay."

"Wha-? How?" She covered her mouth.

"Do you remember anything sweetie?"

She shook her head. "No, I don't. I just remember me waiting for Jesse to get home. Dom was angry. Then I just woke up here."

Tony bowed his head as he walked over to her. "Daddy, why are you here? What is going on?"

"You were shot baby."

Gabriella shook her head. "No, I wasn't. I don't feel anything. This is a dream it has to be!"

"Ella, listen to me. I am right here with you baby. I am not going to let anything happen to you."

He brought her into his arms. "Where's Dom? And Mia?"

"They are safe." He sat down on the bed holding her hand. "Do you want me to explain?"

She nodded her head slowly. "I've missed you so much." She cried. The tears flowed down her face as he brought her into his arms. She brought her legs up into the fetal position has she laid in his lap.

"I have missed you too. We are together now."

"How am I seeing you dad? How are you here with me but Dom and Mia aren't?"

"Mia is here. She is in the waiting area. Dom…Dom won't be around anymore." He rubbed her head. "You were shot Gab. You were shot in the heart."

She remained still as her tears soaked into his leg. She wiped her face. "They are performing surgery on you right now, trying to stabilize your body from going back into shock. I am here because you want me to be. I have heard you cry for me so many times Gab and I wished that I could help you."

"Am I dead?"

"No!" He gasped. "You aren't dead."

"But I am dying."

He nodded his head remaining silent. "Does it hurt?" She whispered.

"Does what hurt sweetheart?"

"Dying?"

"Sometimes." He rubbed his hand through her hair. "But I am right here with you. I won't let it hurt."

She nodded her head. "I am so scared."

"Come here sweetheart. I need to look at you." She leaned up trying to sniff back the tears. "I am going to ask you something that I know that you don't think you can do. I am going to ask you to leave here…."

"No!" She cried. She squeezed his hand putting it to her face. "I have wanted to see you again so bad. You don't know how much I have missed you."

"I do sweetheart. I do know."

"I can't leave you daddy."

"You have to Ella. You don't belong here. Not right now. I will always be with you. But I need you to live. You haven't lived your life yet."

"I don't know how to live without you?"

"You have been doing a pretty good job El. You have turned out to be a magnificent woman. I have been watching you grow. Your brother and sister need you right now EL. You guys are all each other have. Don t take that away from them. I am will always be right here with you. Guiding you. I have heard your prayers to me when you race. I am right here." He put his hand on her chest. "Go back to them Gab. Go back to them and live."

Gabriella held his hand to her chest as she bowed her. Tears streamed down her face. "I love you so much." Her voice cracked.

"And I love you so much."

"Is it going to hurt?"

He nodded his head. "You were shot sweetheart, they are performing surgery on you right now. I am here because you just flat lined. They are trying to bring you back."

"I don't want to go back daddy." She whispered. "You said that you have been watching me, have you seen my life? Jake Hou tried to kill me, I shot him to keep him from killing me. I killed him. Brianna tried to kill me, Hayley is dead. Vince is hurt really bad, Brian is a cop. My brother robs trucks for a living. My life is crazy daddy. It's crazy. All that I have experienced is death. I don't want to go back to that. Don't make me go back to that."

"Those were just bumps in the road Gab. Your life has been so full of excitement and love. The way that you and your brother love each other is amazing. It's one of the most perfect loves out there. He would die for you Gab and you him. Are you willing to throw that away? I know you are scared. It's okay to be scared. But don't stop living because of it. I want you go back and look at that fear in the eyes. You tell it, it doesn't win. Not today."

She nodded her head. He wrapped his arms around her as she squeezed him tight. "Oh my baby girl, I love you so much."

"I love you too." She cried.

"I'm going to go now."

"No!"

"I love you." He whispered. With that he was gone.

"DADDY!" She screamed. "NO! Please don't leave me!" She covered her face with her hands. "Oh God!" Then she felt it. The pain. The sting. She looked down at her chest as the blood began to pour out of her chest onto her shirt soaking it instantly. She looked around the room as her breathing became heavy. The sharp pain struck her. Then again. One more time. She fell back against the bed.

"We got her back! Good job guys, lets close her up. I want her stable before we go back in there."

"I'll go talk to the sister."


Mia paced back and forth through the waiting room twiddling her fingers together. She heard the door open stopping her in her tracks. "Ms. Toretto?" The doctor approached her. She nodded her head. The tears had stopped but she felt her breathing wasn't the same. "Will you sit down with me please?" She nodded her head again as she sat down. "Ms. Toretto, your sister it out of surgery. We were not able to get the bullet out. She went into cardiac arrest. We brought her back to us, but she was under for a good five minutes. We closed her back up and are waiting to see if she is stable enough tomorrow to go back in." Mia nodded her head. "The bullet pierced an artery. It just barely missed the heart. We are trying everything in our power to save her right now. Is there anyone we can call for you? Family? Friends?"

She shook her head. "No." Her voice was a whisper. "It's just us right now."

"Would you like to come back and see her?"

"Can I?"

"Yes. We have her hooked to a machine that breathes for her. It is easier that way. She is in the ICU where we have some very good doctors and nurses watching over her." He helped her to her feet.

"Um…" She stopped him. "There is someone else in here I would like to see if that's okay. He came in here earlier today, he was shot in the stomach. His name is Vince Henderson. Is he here?"

The doctor nodded his head. "He was taken back to surgery a few hours ago. If you would like I could take you to your sister then when I get news on Mr. Henderson I will come find you."

"Thank you." She whispered nodding her head.

"Let's go right this way." He led her through the double doors and down a long hallway to the ICU area. There were families waiting outside rooms as she looked around. Some were crying, others were leaning against the wall. They all looked tired. Like they haven't slept in days. She gave a soft smile as she made eye contact with one woman. She heard a door slide open as she turned to look at the doctor. "Don't let all the tubes and machines scare you, they are just for precaution and to make her more comfortable. She can hear you. Talk to her, let her know you are here."

"Thank you." Mia wiped her face as she stepped into the room. She closed her eyes as she listened to the beeping noise. The curtain was pulled shut. She slowly with shaking hands pulled the curtain back revealing her sister. She was lying in the bed with tubes in her mouth and nose. The IV was poking out of her hand. She walked slowly over to the bed and touched her hand. She expected it to be cold. But it wasn't. It was warm. "Oh Gab, what did we do?" She lifted her hand to her face. "How did this happen?"

She stood there expecting her to reply back. "I need you to open your eyes Gab. Just open your eyes and we can go home." Her cell phone began to go off in her pocket. She took a deep breath letting go of Gabriella's hand. It wasn't a number she knew. "Hello….DOM!" She covered her mouth. "Dom where are you?...Dom…" She cried. Her voice was painful. "He shot her Dom. She was shot in the heart." Tears flowed down her face. "I am with her right now…she's not doing too good. They couldn't get the bullet out…Jesse's dead…." The machine began to go off. "Gab! GABBY!" Mia yelled dropping the phone from her ear. She rushed over to the bed and grabbed her hands. "Gabriella, don't you do this to me!"

The door slid open as nurses came rushing in.

"I need paddles!" The same doctor from before came rushing in. He moved Mia to the side as she slide down the wall holding her hands together. The sobs were silent but the tears flowed freely.

"CLEAR!" Gabriella's body jumped.

"Dom!" Mia sobbed. "Help me!"

"CLEAR!"

"Okay, she's back. We got her back."

The doctor knelt down to Mia pushing her hair out of her face. "Are you sure there is no one we can call for you?"

She shook her head. "Is she okay?"

"For right now. I am going to check in every hour with you. Is there anything that you need? Food? Water? I will grab some blankets for you. It's going to be a long night, but I promise you this, I am going to try everything in my power to keep your sister alive."
