Chapter 46-Startin' Some Shit
Sasha's POV
We pulled up to the garage to find Dominic standing on the curb. My first thought was "Stupid lost his key again." Everyone exited their cars and made their way over to Dominic.
"What are you doing out here Dom?" I asked him, watching Bam-Bam closely out the corner of my eye. I named him Bam-Bam from his love of running into closed doors and walls.
"Waiting you for guys. Happy birthday." He said, handing me a set of keys. I frowned at him and looked around.
"Thanks, but what's this?" I asked, holding the keys in my hand. He smiled and lifted up the garage door, revealing what was most likely a car under a grey tarpulin. I smiled ear-to-ear as I walked over to it. Dom counted to three before yanking the cover off, my dream car being under it. It was a black '03 Porsche 911 GT2 with a Coupe body. It had a red dragon on either sides looking like they were crawling towards the back of the car.
"No Dom, where's the car to these cuz that for damn sure isn't it." I said in disbelief, looking around the garage for any other car.
"That's it Sasha. That's your baby." Dom laughed, walking over next to me. I gasped as I traced my hands all over it.
"You're shittin' me Dominic Toretto. You wouldn't build me a car better then yours." I said, unsuspectingly rude. "Sorry, I just don't understand. We both know this car could smoke the Rx-7, so why'd you build it?" I asked, standing next to him. By now, the group began piling around the car.
"Well I figured, if we wanted to start you off soon, you'd need a kickass ride right? And since the Queen is temporarily out of service and Mia isn't as into it as you, I figured you could take over for awhile. What do ya say?" He asked, crossing his arms across his massive chest.
"I say hell fuckin' yes! Thank you so much Dominic!" I cheered, bear-hugging Dom around his wide torso. He returned the tight hug, laughing. I ran back over to the car to check the insides but noticed there was no way to get in ... the car didn't have doorhandles. "What the hell D? How do you open it up?" I asked, feeling around for some kind of handle. Looking closely, I read the small words that were in the place of the doorhandles, written in red cursive letters.
'Control your passion, don't let it control you'.
I looked over at Dom and he smiled at me. "My Papi used to tell me that when I was younger." He said, walked over by me. He grabbed the keys from my hand and pressed a button, the driver door popping open slowly.
"Hell yes!" I yelled, snatching the keys and jumping in the driver seat. The seats were black leather with a red stripe down the middle. The interior was mad dope. I loved the whole red and black thing he had going. "Thanks Dom Toretto for pimpin' my ride!" I referred to the cheesy catch phrase, making everyone laugh. "Where's my NOS?" I asked, getting out the car.
"Under the passenger seat. That's where I keep mines." He said, pointing to the seat. I nodded and shut the door back.
"Pop the hood?" I asked, looking at it. I turned to Dom, who was smiling cheekly. Jesse ran over and popped the hood and rambled off everything underneath.
"Let's see. It's a 3.6 Liter Twin Turbo ... over 400 horses-" He started as Dom talked over him. He knew if he wanted to say anything while Jesse was like this, he'd had to talk louder then him.
"Goes from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. 0-100, 8.8 seconds. She's a beast." Dom paused, Jesse still audible rambling about the car.
"Top speed?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"196." He answered.
"So it's basically death on wheels huh?' Mia asked, a look of worry on her face.
"No Mi. It's heaven on wheels. This will wash out all those posers at the races." Jesse answered, finally lifting his head from under the hood,
"Whatever, but if I see you doing over 30 miles per hour, I'm beating your ass and you're grounded." Mia warned, dead serious.
"Mia." I said, hugging her.
"Now that you got a car to go along with that license, let's go to work." Diana said, jumping in the passenger seat of the Porsche.
"Bye Dominic. Thank you again. For everything." I said, hugging him. He knew I was thanking him for everything, not just the car. Thanking him for letting me move in, for letting me on his team, for changing my life.
"Anytime." He whispered in my ear. "Now, everyone get to work." He demanded, with his lopsided smiling shining bright.

Late that afternoon...
"So what you gonna name him?" I asked Diana, as continued to pet her pup. We were in the back of the store playing with the puppies as Mia was upfront studying. The store had been a little quiet today, which Mia was thankful for. She wasn't getting much studying done. She did great on her finals and she had this last test to take before she could get a job as a full-time nurse.
"It's a girl." She corrected, showing me the dog's underparts.
"Ohh." I said, looking away from the pup.
"Her name's Cupcake." Diana said, watching the two puppies playfight.
"Oh c'mon Di. She's a pitbull for Christ sake. Give her a vicious name." I said. Sometimes Di could be such a girl.
"No, she's not vicious, therefore, she doesn't need a vicious name." She replied, holding her nose high in the air. I playfully chopped her in the throat, then covered my body from a future attack. She struggled to catch her breath for a few seconds before smacking my arm.
"Look at your dog trying to kill mine. Bullshit she's not vicious." I said, lifting 'Cupcake' from Bam-Bam's neck. "But you're vicious aren't ya Bam? Aren't ya?" I playfuilly pulled my pup's tail, hearing him growl softly. I pulled it again and got a loud bark in return. I smiled. Me and him were going to get along just fine.
"Get the fuck outta here before there's trounle." I heard Mia say, fear in her voice. I ran up front, Diana fast on my heels. When we appeared, there was a group of women standing on the curb.
"Fuck you Barbie." One of the girl's yelled back.
"Mi, what's going on?" Diana asked, now standing beside Mia.
"These chicks are here everyday giving me a hard time. Who the hell do they think they are?" Mia said angrily. I looked at her then walked around to the front of the counter as one of the girl's approached.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" The girl yelled to Mia, completely ignoring me.
"Can I help you?" I asked, scanning the skank closely.
"Fuck off loser. I'm talking to the Barbie." She replied, turning her attention back to Mia. "You and you're snitch ass boyfriend got my sister arrested. I should kick your ass right here."
"Yo you better take that mess somewhere else. Get the fuck off our property 'fore I beat your ugly ass." I threatned, trying to remain calm.
"Fuck you. That skank Letty got what she deserved. She's lucky she's not here, or I'd kill her myself." The skank said, laughing with her little groupies. That was the wrong thing to say.
"You know something, I'm her lil' sister. So if you wanna touch her, then you gotta hit me first." I stood up, matching with the girl.
She took a swing, knocking me in my mouth. I instantly put my hand there, drawing back blood on my fingers. The sight of my own blood sent me into a killer's rage as I pounced on her. I was on top of her, beating her face in. Somehow, she manuevered her way on me, returning the punches. I admit, she was roughing me up a bit. This was the first girl who could actually make this a worthy fight. She stopped swinging, noticing my face covered in blood. I only smiled as I clocked her in the side of her head, knocking her on her side. I stood over her body, returning the punches, twice as hard. Another one of the skanky girls jumped in, kicking me in the side. Diana saw this and needed no more reason to jump in. She punched the blonde in her face, knocking her down to the ground. Two other girls jumped in on Diana as they watched her begin to pound their friend. I went to help but was stopped when I felt a cold blade slide against my waist, cutting it deep. I stumbled as I heard Mia yelling.
"Get the fuck outta here now." She said dead calm, holding a .9mm gun, pointing it to the group of girls. They scattered like mice as I watched Mia run over to us. I looked at my side and could see blood slowly raining down my side. I brushed it off and looked over to find Diana lying lifeless on the ground, blood all over her.
"DIANA!!" I yelled, running to her body. I slapped her face a few times, getting her eyes to flutter open. "You okay girl?" I asked, looking over her body for wounds.
"I'm good. Just a little winded. We fucked them up." She joked. I laughed; she was the only person I knew who could keep her sense of humor in the worst situations.
"C'mon you two get up. Let's get you two a hospital." Mia said, helping us up."But first let's try to clean you up first. You girls sure know how to start some shit." Mia said, leadinig us to the bathroom in the back. Diana sat down on the stool and I on the toilet as Mia reached in the cabinet above the sink and puild out a first aid kit. I whistled for the dogs, making sure they were still back there. First came in Cupcake, then Bam. I bent over in the sink and rinsed the blood off my face. I stood back up and looked in the mirror, wishieng I didn't wash the blood away. There were bruises and cuts all over, one particular gash over my right eye that I was positiive would leave a good scar. I grabbed two hand towels and placed them up to my side as I grabbed the leashes for the pups. I snapped them on and led them out back to Mia's car. I let them in and walked back into the store.
"Where the hell'd you get a gun Mia?" I asked, grabbing a water from the fridge.
"Dom always kept it in the back in case we got robbed or something. But no time for chitchat, we need to get you two to a hospital." She said, pushing me and Diana out the store. She looked up and pulled out her cell.
"Yo Dom ... I'm taking the girls to the hospital. ... No they were in a fight ... No we don't need to you come ... Fine Dom come but don't bring the boys .. I'm serio--" She tried to say before the phone clicked. "Guess it's a family thing again. Get in the car." She said, sliding in the Intergra driver seat.

Dom's POV
When I got a call from Mia saying the girls were in a fight, I immediately felt rage in my veins. I dropped everything and told the boys the news. Vince's eyes flashed red as he raced to the Maxima. We hightailed it down to the hospital, each right behind the other. We burst into the lobby, finding Mia standing there pacing the floor.
"What the hell's going on Mia?" I asked, walking quickly to her. She began sobbing uncontrollably in my arms.
"Dom. I ... was ... so ... scared. I thought she was gonna kill Sasha. They were both bleeding badly and Diana passed out on the way here." She said, breaking down into my arms.
"Who did this Mi? Mia look at me. Who did this?" I asked, lifting her face to mine.
"I don't know. She said she was Amanda's sister. Her and a group of chicks drove up to the store in a Denali. They've been up there a lot lately giving me shit." Mia said, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Did you get a look at the plates?" Jesse asked from his seat by the wall. Mia nodded and gave him the plate desciption. They decided Brian was going to call in the plates to find out where they were and they would end all the pain these people was causing their family. The group sat in the lobby patiently waiting as Vince stood from his seat. He hadn't said a word since they arrived. I know he was hurting. I wanted to comfort him, but I know he just wanted to be left alone.
"I'm gonna go see Let." He said, walking down the hall.
"I'll go with." Jesse offered standing up.
"No Jess. Stay here bud." Vince said over his shoulder as he continued for the elevator.

Vince's POV
"Um can I go see her?" I asked the nurse who was stanidng outside of Letty's room. She nodded and walked to the door with me. I thanked her and entered, seeing Letty sitting up watching televsion.
"Big V. What's up man?" She asked, seeming very enthusiatic for a hospital patient.
"Let, Sasha and Di are here." I said, not specifiying what I meant.
"Oh cool, send them in." She said, flipping off the t.v.
"No Let, they are HERE. As in they got their own rooms in the hospital." I replied, flopping down in the chair by her bed.
"WHAT?!" She yelled, sitting straight up in her bed. "What the hell are you talking about Vince?"
"They got in a fuckin' fight at the store. They're hurt Let. My girls are hurt." I repeated, feeling myself break down. Tears streamed down my face as I heard Letty stumbling across the floor. I looked up and saw her walking to me. She was in pain I could tell. But she tried her best to hide it. Letty hugged me as I cried hard against her chest. "I wasn't there to protect her Let. She's lying in a bed here because I wasn't there for her. I'm a horrible boyfriend." I mumbled, weeping even harder.
"No. No. Shh V. You're a great boyfriend. You had no idea shit was gonna go crazy. Stop crying dude." She replied, rocking me back and forth. "She's gonna be okay man. C'mon, come get in the bed with me. You need sleep." She commanded, leading me to the bed. I slipped in, tears still sliding down my cheeks. Letty crawled in, holding me as I cried silently.
Letty's POV
I felt horrible that Vince was crying like this. The only time I've ever seen him like this was when Mr. Toretto and his grandparents passed away. It always was tough to see a strong person like him let everything down. He usually kept everything so bottled up, and now he was letting it all out. I hugged him as he continued to cry. A few seconds later, I could feel his chest heaving heavily against mine, but he wasn't snoring. I called his name twice, but got no answer. Maybe he could control it. I heard my room door open and it was Dom.
"He okay?" Dom asked, walking over to me and his best friend.
"He's blaming himself. He needs sleep. He hasn't had much has he?" I asked, rubbing Vince's back.
"Naw, he's been a bit stressed. But I'm gonna go downstairs and try to get some news on the girls. When I do, I'll come back and let you know." Dominic said, walking back to the door. I waved bye and he left.

Dom's POV
"What's the new's doc?" I asked the doctor who walked into the lobby where the remaining members of the team were seated.
"They are fine. Just banged up a bit. We gave Sasha 20 stitches on the cut above her eye and she got about 50 for the one in her side. That was a hard one to close up. But Diana's perfectly fine, she was just a little tired. We're gonna keep them over night for observation. Someone is welcoem to stay here with them if they'd like." He said, happy he wiped the worried looks off our faces.
"Well me and Vince will. You guys go home." Jesse offered, juggling his grey beanie back and forth. We nodded in agreement as me, Mia, and Brian decided on going home.
"Yeah I'll stay here with Letty." Tony offered, walking with the other boys.
