Gabriella looked up at her sister as they sat in silence staring at each other. She shook her head as she leaned her head back. Letty had been gone for a week and Mia had just told her about it. "You can't be mad. You haven't called like you said you would."

"I have been busy Mia!"

Mia sighed. "I thought she would come back. She left everything Gab. I don't know where she went. I am scared."

"She is fine. She is survivor. Nothing is going to happen to her." Gabirella looked over at the wall as she sighed.

"You look good." Mia whispered. "I love the place. You seem to really be doing good for yourself."

"Vince called me…" Gabriella blurted out. "He called me at the garage. What the hell was he thinking Mia?"

"He called me too."

"He is going to get caught if he doesn't stop acting so stupid."

"He misses us Gab. It's hard on everyone right now."

Gabriella rubbed her hands over her face. "Let's not talk about that anymore. We are supposed to be having a good weekend. Tell me about the garage. How are things there?"

"I am the sister of the king of street racing. Everyone comes in, finds out who I am and questions fly. It's annoying. I don't know what to tell people Mia. I really don't. I don't trust anyone."

"It's okay not to trust anyone, I don't either. I feel like everywhere I look someone is watching me. It makes me wonder if they know. "

"I feel like everyone knows." Gabriella smiled. "There is this one guy, Harrison, he's…perfect." She bowed her head to hide her smile. "He grew up watching dad race. He knows who he was and was there the night that he died. He has really been helping me a lot here lately."

"That's great Gab. I'm glad you found someone."

She shook her head. "I am his boss Mia."

"Dom was Letty's boss…"

Gabriella began to laugh. "She was most definitely the boss of him." The girls laughed together. "I miss them a lot Mia."

"I do too. I just keep thinking he is going to come walking through the door with the team behind him, like nothing ever happened."

"I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach all the time, it just makes me sick thinking about it. I feel empty without them here. Like something is missing…"

"Something is missing Gab. Our family is missing."

"What have the FEDS said to you lately?"

"You know, just the same shit over and over again. I have no idea where Dom is. Dom wouldn't tell me even if I asked, but they don't believe me. Our phones are tapped…."

"Yeah I believe my phones are tapped at the garage as well." Gabriella shook her head. "So this is it huh? This is how this goes down? We become on the most wanted list with our brother?"

"They know we know something Gab. That's it. They can't force us to say anything so they are going to catch us in lying. It's not illegal. We just have to watch what we say."

"I will not rat on my brother."

"You aren't going to have to do that. It will die down." Mia stood up grabbing the food from the table and put it on the counter. They both hadn't touched it. She sighed as she turned around to her sister. "I want you to come home Gab."

Gabriella's head shot up to her sister. "What?"

"I don't like this. I don't like you being here and me being there. I feel like something bad is about to happen and I don't want you to be here alone. I want you to be with me so we can go through this together. I know this is how you cope. I know that you are so mad right now about everyone leaving and Jesse dying but I can't be alone anymore."

"Mia…" Gabriella whispered. "I can't leave here. I have started something…"

"You are right." Mia nodded her head. "I know what I am asking."

"Stay here with me. You can stay as long as you want. Come help me at the garage or something."

Mia began to laugh as she wiped the tears that escaped her eyes. "Oh Gab, I don't know what to do anymore."

"Stay here with me." Gabriella wrapped her arms around her sister's neck as Mia silently cried on her shoulder. Her heart broke for her. She knew it was hard on her. Mia didn't have anything anymore. Just a house full of memories that was it.


Monday came a lot sooner than Gabriella wanted. She had spent the entire weekend with her sister and loved every minute of it. Who thought it was true absence makes the heart grow fonder. They never really got along growing up but she loved the moments they had together right now. She looked in the office as she smiled to herself, Mia was sitting in her chair working on the paperwork as she moved to the Honda sitting front of her. "So she is staying for good?" Harrison asked causing Gabriella to look at him.

"Um…I don't know. I don't know what she is going to do. She is alone right now. I told her she could stay as long as she wants."

"You are a good person Gab." He smiled at her. She couldn't help but give a little laugh as she grabbed the tape from the table.

"She deserves it; I put her through hell when I was a teenager."

"Can I take you out?" He blurted out causing her to stop what she was doing. She knelt back down to him and just stared. "I mean…." He swallowed.

"She would love to." Mia was behind them causing Gabriella to jump. "Tonight would be perfect."

"Mia!" Gabriella growled. She stood up jerking Mia's arm towards the office and slamming the door. "Really?"

"You deserve to be happy Gab." Mia eyed her.

"He is…"

"Nothing. He is a boy that works for you at a garage that you co-own with someone else. You are bound to fall in love again why not with someone in the garage? He is perfect."

"You don't know him…hell I don't know him."

"Get to know him!" Mia smiled. "Please for me? You deserve this."

"And what about you huh?"
Mia bowed her head. "You don't worry about me Gab. I am going to be fine."

There was a soft knock on the door causing Gabriella to turn around. Harrison was standing there asking her to come out. She nodded her head before turning back to Mia. "Fine, I will do it. For you Mia. That's it."

"Thank you." Mia smiled. Gabriella turned on her heels and stormed out of the office.

"Becca, the girl who's Honda you are working on, is here. I told her the car was ready but she wanted to talk to you."

Gabriella nodded her head waving her hand at Becca. She grabbed Harrison's arm stopping him in his steps. "I will go with you. I don't want you blabbing this to everyone in the garage…"

He stopped her with a smile on his face. "I'll pick you up at seven then." He walked away from her as Becca approached.

"So I know that you probably aren't into the scene anymore, but I was going to see if you wanted to come to the race on Tuesday. I just think it would be awesome if you got back involved and showed everyone that you are back."

Gabriella began to laugh. "I'm not back."

"I think it would be awesome if you just showed up though."

"I am in bind right now with everything that is going on with my brother. I don't think it would be wise if I showed up at an illegal street race right now, but I will take you up on one day. Maybe if I get bored and just feel like racing."

"Promise?"

"I promise." She smiled. The girl squealed as she jumped into her car. Blake was standing behind her when she turned around with a smile on his face. "What?"

"Illegal street racing again are we?"

"No." She huffed.

"Oh so I didn't hear you say that maybe one day you would go down there?"

"Have you ever raced?" She asked putting her hand on her hip. "I mean like truly raced?"

He shook his head. "You're an adult so I am not going to tell you what to do but until you know what it feels like to get behind the wheel of a car with three other people, wanting the same thing you do, right beside you. Your adrenaline is going so fast you think your heart is just going to explode. The moment you have between you and your car for sixty seconds or less…." She shook her head. "It's the most amazing feeling in the world and until that happens to you don't look at me like that. I miss it. It's been in my family for a long time and yes my brother was known as the king of the streets as everyone likes to put it. He taught me everything that I know about cars. If I could, I would be out there right now racing. I am good at it. "

"Maybe you can show me one day." He smiled. She tried to fake the smile on her face knowing that Harrison was right behind him looking at her. She nodded her head before moving away from him.

"We need to get back to work." She coughed moving past him into the office. Mia had a smile on her face as she closed the door behind her. "What?"

"So I didn't know you had two guys after you."

"When are you leaving again?" Gabriella groaned as Mia began to laugh.


Harrison was right on time that night as Mia stood behind her at the door. Gabriella shoved her elbow into her sisters stomach pushing her away as she opened the door. He looked different outside the garage. He wasn't dirty. She liked it. She couldn't help but smile as him as he handed her a single rose. "Thank you." She replied softly. "I'll see you later Mia." She smirked at her sister who had a smile plastered to her face.

"You two have fun."

Gabriella shook her head as she closed the door. "You look really nice." She replied.

"Yeah, it's different not being covered in grease. I actually took a shower." He smirked down at her as he opened the door letting her go first. "You look absolutely amazing tonight."

"Thank you." She was nervous. Why was she nervous? Maybe because the last person she dated was dead. She shook her head of the thought as he opened the car door for her. "Such a gentlemen."

"Have to impress you somehow." She waited for him to get into the car before speaking again.

"So where to?"

"Have you seen San Diego yet? Explored?" He laughed.

"No, I haven't. I haven't really had the time to do anything. I am still trying to get settled in and just laid back for once. I haven't felt this relaxed in a really long time."

"I am glad I can be a part of that. I know that you have had a lot going on, but I want you to know that I am here for you. I can't really speak for the other guys, but I am really happy you are here."

"So you don't have any problem with me being your boss?"

He began to laugh. "No, not really. I mean it's not like I am trying to get special treatment or anything. I really like you. I want to get to know you more."

"I need to be honest with you right now, I don't want…"

"Gab, its okay. I am not asking you to marry me."

She couldn't help but laugh. "I have a really complicated life. I don't know if you want to be a part of that. There are things going on that I don't know….I can't really talk about it. I don't trust people Harrison. I just don't know who to trust anymore because so many people have lied to me."

He nodded his head. "How about we go on this date and pretend we are just two normal people who happened to meet. No baggage. Nothing. Then we can talk about where it will lead us."
She nodded her head as she turned forward in her seat. She smiled to herself as he turned on the radio. Maybe life wouldn't be too bad just to start over. Forget the past and everything that happened in it and just start completely over. If only she knew what was going on back home did she really think that could happen.

AN: So she goes on a date with this Harrison kid! :) let me know what you guys think! Dont forget to go preorder Furious Seven! it comes out in September! REVIEW!
