It was midnight when Gavin decided it was time for him to go. Gabriella didn't move from her spot on the couch as she watched Harrison exchange handshakes with him before turning back to her. He gave a small smile. "I guess I should be leaving too."

She nodded her head. "Thank you for tonight. I am so glad it was you that was there."

"Put some ice on your neck. It will probably be sore tomorrow but you should be okay." He turned to leave. "I love you okay." He had his back to her. "I know it's soon and I know it's stupid…"

"Harrison…" She whispered. She stood up.

"No. You need to know. What I did…I never meant to hurt you. I never meant for any of this to happen to you."

"Stop."

He slowly turned around to her. She felt her hands shake as they remained by her side. Tears filled up her eyes as he continued to stare at her. "You tell me to leave you alone and I will try my hardest but I am telling you right now that I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to make-" She was in his arms in a second as her lips crashed into his causing him to shut up immediately. She moved him against the wall as she pulled his shirt up over his head removing it from his body. He put his hands on both sides of her face pushing her back against the wall. She wrapped her legs around his body as he removed her shirt, throwing it on the ground. They never broke away from each other. He lifted her in the air as he gently laid her on the couch. Clothes were continuing to fly off of them as he remained on top of her. He finally broke the kiss and stared into her eyes. "I love you." He replied again.

"I love you too." Maybe it was too soon. She didn't know. All she knew at the moment was she wanted him. She wanted to be with him in every way possible. He leaned down kissing her again as he moved inside of her. She closed her eyes letting the pleasure take over. Nothing else mattered at the moment. Nothing.


The sun was shining bright into the room when Gabriella opened her eyes. She felt him shift as he opened his eyes and stared at her. "Good morning." He replied with a smile on his face.

"I think it's good afternoon." She looked over at her clock. "We slept till twelve."

"It's good for the soul." He replied stretching his arms out above his head and yawned. "You look beautiful in the mornings."

She giggled as she wrapped her arms around his waist pulling her closer to him. "How do you feel?" He asked.

"Amazing."

He laughed. "I meant your neck? How's the neck?"

"Oh." She leaned up pulling the sheet up wrapping it around her naked body before lifting her head the sky. She felt his hand run down it. "Is it bad?"

"It's bruising."

"It's nothing makeup can't cover up."

"Oh we are leaving the bed today?" He pulled her closer to him kissing her on the shoulder.

"Well there is a thing called a job. We both have one."

"Gavin took care of it."

"There is a thing called food. We have to eat."

"I can cook."

She smiled leaning her head back kissing him softly on the lips. "Hmm. You are something else you know that?" She ran her hand through his hair. "I like it."

"Oh yeah?" He leaned up putting his hand on the back of her head pulling her down to him. She moved over crawling on top of him. Who knew staying in bed all day could be this much fun. She loved it. She didn't want to move from that spot.


Her cell phone began to go off as she looked at the clock. They literally had stayed in bed all day. She was exhausted still. She reached for the phone looking at it. "Oh." She answered it leaning up. "Mia?"

"Gab…"

"Mia you are on speaker. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you. I am on my way over there."

Gabriella looked down. She was naked, her bed was a mess. She knew she looked horrible. "How far away are you?"

"About ten minutes."

Gabriella jumped out of bed. "Okay."

"Are you okay?"

"Um…yeah I just need…" She began pulling the sheet and blanket trying to fix her bed.

"Is someone else there?" Mia asked. Gabriella stopped what she was doing. "Holy shit, are you having sex?"

"MIA!" Gabriella yelled. Harrison came walking in with just boxers on. "Oh lord. Give me five minutes Mia."

"Gab, who is there? Are you having sex? Who? Wait…"

"Goodbye Mia!" Gabriella hung up the phone. She pointed to Harrison. "You have to go."

"What did I do?" He asked. She pushed him towards the door and began picking up his clothes throwing them at him.

"My sister is on her way. This is awkward and I just…leave. You can come back but you can't be here when she gets here. I don't want to explain…oh my…just grab your clothes…" There was a knock on the door. "No."

Harrison began to laugh as he put his pants on. "Gabriella Toretto you better open this door!"

"Mia, I said five minutes!" She pushed Harrison out of the way as she ran to her room to get dressed. She threw on clothes as she ran out just in time for Harrison to open the door.

"Harrison?" Mia questioned. She looked over at Gabriella who began trying to pull her hair back. "Hm…"

"Okay get it over with." She rolled her eyes.

"I'm not saying a word." Mia replied with a smile.

"I—I am going to go." Harrison pointed to the door. He smiled at Mia before looking over at Gabriella. "I will call you later."

She nodded her head before glaring at her sister. "We need to talk." Mia was serious this time. Harrison closed the door she knew he wanted to listen. Things just got tense and she didn't like it.

"What's going on Mia?" Gabriella put her hair up and sat down on the couch.

"A lot has happened since the last time I saw you."

"A lot good or a lot bad?"

"They found out who killed Letty."

"They?"

Mia nodded her head taking a deep breath. "Dom…and Brian."

Gabriella shook her head biting her lip. "Brian is back in our lives?"

Mia refused to look up. "Answer me!" Gabriella yelled. "This is it huh? He comes back in and we all pretend that what he did was nothing?"

"No!" Mia yelled. "We don't pretend at all. He knows what he did. Him and Dom are going for the same goal right now. They are taking down Braga. He had Letty killed, Gab. That is the only thing on Dom's mind right now."

Gabriella shook her head staring up at the ceiling. "What the hell happened to your neck? Did Harrison…" Mia stood up. Gabriella held her hand in the air stopping her sister.

"Harrison would never hurt me." She grabbed her sisters hand. "I guess I have my own story to tell you too."

"What happened?"

"Yakuza." She took a deep breath walking away from her sister. "It's starting again Mia."

"What do you mean?"

"Blake. He is Johnny Tran's half brother. He works—worked for me. He came to the garage last night while I was working late and attacked me. He wants to kill Dom for killing Johnny. Eye for an eye." She bit her lip. "Brian sent Harrison and Gavin to protect me Mia. He had them watch over me from the beginning."

Mia nodded her head. "I want to hate him. I need to hate him Mia. Jesse's death…he died because of Brian. It was Brian's fault any of this happened."

"I know."

"No!" Gabriella cried. "It's not fair. I am trying to move on with my life. I am trying my hardest but all this-bullshit keeps coming up."

"They arent home Gab, I can't get in touch with Dom or Brian. Something is wrong."

"What do you mean?"

Mia shook her head. "What arent you telling me Mia?"

"I don't know…" She whispered. "I don't know what's happening anymore."

Gabriella walked over to her sister wrapping her arms around her neck.

"Is Blake taken care of?" Mia sniffed back the tears.

"Harrison said he took care of it. He stayed with me last night. I guess I passed out because when I woke up Gavin and Harrison were here with me. Why would he send them to look after me?"

"Maybe he knew Yakuza would come after us again?"

Gabriella shook her head. "Mia, what's going on? Why is this happening again?"

"I don't know Gab." Mia whispered. "Dom is going to figure everything out. I promise you that."

"He's going to get himself killed."


Gabriella stood in the shower when she heard the door open to the bathroom. "Mia?" She called out.

"No its Harrison. Mia is on the phone."

"Did you go by the garage?"

"Yeah. Gavin took care of everything. No one suspects anything is going on."

She pulled back the curtain as she wrapped the towel around her body. She wanted to smile at him but she couldn't. "What is it?" He asked noticing something was wrong.

"Why did Brian do it? Why did he send you and Gavin here?"

He moved closer to her moving her hair from her shoulder. He ran his hand across her scar as she shied away. "Don't." He whispered. She turned back to him as he leaned down kissing it. "He came home. He was on suspension for quite a while before he went to Miami. He told me about you."

"You two are close?"

He shook his head. "We were when we were growing up. I hadn't seen him for a long time then he just came home one day. He talked of a girl that he met. It wasn't you. It was Mia. He said that he ruined everything just to get ahead being a cop. That's all he ever wanted to be. His father left him a long time ago. He never really got over that. Then he talked of you. A girl who he worked with at Harry's, he knew the trouble you were in before you did Gab. He knew about Johnny Tran and what he was up to. Yakuza is dangerous and they don't give up. He asked me to go work for you because he knew you would run away from your problems. He blames himself for Jesse…"

"He should."

"It almost killed him when he found out that you lived and he didn't. I know it doesn't mean anything to you but he did love you. He loved your sister a whole lot more but he sure loved you too. That's why he let Dom go. He knew what he had to do."

"I don't know how I am supposed to forgive him."

"You don't have to." He rubbed his hand down her face. "I am here because of him. We are together because of him. That has to count for something."

Gabriella nodded her head. "I've spent all this time hating him because it was easy. He lied to us Harrison. He lied to us about everything."

"Gab…" Mia walked into the bathroom. Harrison let go of Gabriella has she wiped the tears from her face. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, its fine.

"I need you to come back to Los Angeles with me, I don't know what is happening right now, but I fear for the worst."

"I fear for it to Mia." Gabriella replied as she looked over at Harrison. "Its time for me to go home."


She didn't talk much as she rode to her Los Angeles home. She felt Harrison's hand in hers as she slowly turned her head to him. "Do you know this Braga guy?" She asked in almost a whisper. Harrison shook his head.

"He's a drug lord, that's all that I know."

She sighed as she turned to look out the window. "I know that you are upset right now, but I promise you when this all blows over, we are going to be just fine."

"I don't know if you want to get involved in this Harrison. People die when shit like this happens. I am so scared right now." She shook her head. He tightened his grip on her hand. "I can't lose anyone else."

"You aren't going to."

"He will kill anyone to find out who killed Letty."

"I know how he feels."

Mia's cell phone began to go off as Gabriella turned to her. "Hello….yes, I went to get Gabriella….she's right here...what?" Mia looked over at Gabriella. "We are almost there….I have my stuff in the back. Okay." She hung up the phone.

"What is it?"

Mia took a deep breath. "Mia!"

"They are back. Dom's been shot."

Gabriella gasped covering her mouth. "We are going to them right now." Mia replied. Harrison grabbed Gabriella's shoulder holding her back as she closed her eyes. The tears fell down her face. This was horrible, she couldn't do this. Her brother was shot. What the hell was going on? The car pulled up the a warehouse, where the light was on. Gabriella was the first out of the car with Mia behind her. She tapped softly on the door as Gabriella kicked her legs, she was anxious. Brian answered the door, causing Gabriella to lose her breath. They were face to face right now.

"Thanks for coming." Brian replied letting them.

"I"m glad you called, I have the stuff."

Gabriella stepped into the room with Harrison behind her. Her hands with balled into a fist. She looked around the room.

"Gab…" Brian whispered. "I didn't think-" Her hand connected with his face.

She stepped back as Harrison grabbed her shoulders holding her there. She was breathing hard as the tears flooded her eyes, but she refused to cry. She wasn't going to let them escape.

"I deserved that." Brian replied. Gabriella nodded her head moving away from him and over to her brother.

"Are you okay?" Dom asked.

"I'm fine." She glared at Brian. "I don't know-I can't forgive you right now Brian. I don't know how I am supposed to trust you."

"You don't have to-"

"How the hell did you get shot?"

"Its a long story." Dom smiled grabbing her hand as Mia moved behind him, looking at the wound. "I'm okay."

"You both look like shit."

Dom laughed. "We are here, thats all that matters right now. Go sit down, let Mia finish what she is doing. I will be right over there." He kissed her hand.

"Harrison…" Brian shook his brother's hand. "Your girls got a good right hook."

"That she does." Harrison smiled. "That she does."
