Chapter 59-Seeing Red

No POV

"Ladies in and out. We don't need you taking years. Get one outfit and lets go." Brian yelled at his sister and friend as they ran into yet another clothing store. They were at L.A.'s largest mall. They had been there all morning and Brian and Tej were exhausted. Each store Suki and Lily went in, they'd come out 45 minutes and four outfits later. Brian couldn't understand it. "I thought she was pregnant?" Brian asked Tej as they sat on a bench outside the store.

"She is. But girl still can move." Tej replied, watching how fast Lillian was running around the store. Brian shrugged it off.

"How did Rome and Lily hook up anyways? Do you know?" Brian asked, juggling his car keys in hand.

"Not much. I just know when she came down to Miami, she stayed with him. They were always together. Like they were glued together or somethin'. Anyways. About a year later of frontin', they finally hooked up. They both intended on it being a one time thing. Turned out to be a really long thing." Tej said, adjusting his hat on his head.

"You go to the weddin'?" Brian asked.

"Yeah, I was the best man. It was nice but it woulda been better if you was there. She was so happy bro. Honestly, I thought Rome would play her. But he's been stickin' it out. Probably 'cus he knows if he hurt Lily, you'd be on his ass." He joked, causing his both to laugh.

"I just wish they would have told me. I would've flew down there to see it." Brian said, watching Lily and Suki exit the store.

"Wow, that was only ten minutes." Tej said, standing from the bench.

"Ok we need to go to one more store." Suki said, her eyes begging.

"Where?" Brian asked, giving in.

"PacSun." Lily answered, already on her way to the store.

Mia's POV

"Go talk to her Dominic. You had no right to say what you said. Go apologize." I said, nudging Dominic's shoulder. We were all in the garage working considering Dom wouldn't let me open the store today. Sasha was working alone under the hood of Ford Focus that came in earlier today. Tony had left the night before to stay with some friends. Jesse and Jimmy were in back on his laptop. Diana was in the office, going over the paperwork. I was happy I taught her. I got tired of doing it. Rome and Dom were working on a Mustang that came in.

"No." He replied hastily, not looking up from the engine. "I did nothing wrong."

"Bullshit Dominic. You jumped to conclusions and stuck your head where it didn't belong." I replied, getting pissed off. He was so stupid at times.

"She's right bruh. You fucked up." Rome added, receiving a hard look for Dom. He put his hands up and continued slid back under the car.

"I'm not apologizing. My head belongs in anything that goes in on my house." He growled, I knew, loud enough for Sasha to hear.

I looked over at her as she slid from under the car. She looked at Dominic with such hatred and smiled, shaking her head.

"Look, you asshole. If you were spying long enough you would have seen me push Leon away. He didn't mean to kiss me. It just sorta happened." She said, her eyes burning with fire. "What am I doin', I don't owe you a fuckin' explanation. I know what I didn't do. If Vince believes your narrow-minded ass over his own girlfriend, then he's just as stupid." She finished, sliding back under the car.

I smiled. I knew what kind of spitfire Letty was, but I see that Sasha was at least three times that. I was happy someone was around to put Dom in his place while Letty was away. The look on Dominic's face was priceless. His mouth was open and his eyes showed regret. Good.

"Stupid ass." I said, walking over to Sasha. I tied my hair up and slid under the car with her. "I'm sorry about him Sasha. He jumped to conclusions about everything. He doesn't think--" I started.

"Don't Mia. Don't apologize for him. He's an asshole, therefore, I'm not talking to him. He had no right to say what he did." She said, pain in her tone.

"I know. He just loves playing King Kong, you know that." I said, sliding out as she did. She smiled at me.

"I know." She said, wiping her hands on a rag. Soon the sound of a high-performance engine was audible. Vince, I thought.

When the yellow Skyline pulled into the garage, my heart began to race. Were we gonna have a repeat of what happened the other morning? I looked over at Dominic, who was staring daggers into Leon. Jimmy and Jesse entered the entrance of the garage after hearing the engine. Diana also made her way out from the office.

"Leon what are you doin' here?" I asked, running to him. I jumped in his arms, hugging him. He surprisingly caught me. I wrapped my legs around his waist. I really did miss Leon. He was a great guy.

"I missed you too Mi." He laugh, squeezing my body tightly. I slid down from his grasp and pulled him into the garage. "Sit." I demanded, pushing him down in a chair by the office.

"What are you doin' here?" Dom growled, not looking up from the Mustang.

"Came to see my family. Mainly my lil' brother." He replied, standing from the chair.

"This isn't your family. Bianca is your family." Dom responded coldly.

"Cut the shit Dominic. You know you want him here." I said, throwing my dirty rag at his head.

No POV

"Jesse can I talk to you alone?" Leon asked, standing face to face with the little brother he had abandoned.

"No. Get out of my garage." Dom growled again, not giving up.

"It's okay Dom. C'mon Le." Jesse said, pulling Leon into the office. "Two minutes. Go." Jesse said hastily, his back turned to Leon.

"Jesse. Look I'm sorry okay. I don't know what I was thinking." He said, trying to reason with his brother. He didn't didn't want Jesse to hate him.

"I hope she was worth losing everything over." Jesse replied, turning to Leon. His face was flushed and he was trembling.

"No Jesse she wasn't. She was a complete bitch. She tried to keep me away you. Jesse you should know if no one else does. This family means everything to me dawg. I wouldn't rather be anywhere but here with you lil bro." Leon admitted, putting his hand on Jesse's shoulder. He shrugged it off.

"If you really loved me, if you really loved us, you wouldn't have abandoned us in the first place. You didn't even have to move out Le!" Jesse yelled, his eyes beginning to water.

"I know Jess. But I wanted to see if there was anything else out there for me. Something other then racing. I hoped I'd find a good girl out there Jess. You don't understand." Leon saying, looking away from his crying brother.

"Make me understand then Leon!" He yelled, the tears slowly draining his eyes. He sat down in Dom's chair.

"I NEEDED MY FUCKIN' SPACE!" He roared, immediately regretting it. He walked over and bent down to Jesse's eye level. "I just wanted some space Jess. Not from you. Not from any of you. I just needed space. To see if I could live on my own. I'm getting older, which means I'm gonna have to learn to live on my own. Do things and not depend on everyone else to do them for me. I need you to understand. I didn't mean to hurt you Jess. Any of you." Leon said, his tone full of regret and pain. He hated himself for leaving his family.

"Don't give me that shit Leon. You're just like dad!" Jesse screamed, pushing Leon down on the floor. Leon stood up, his heart broken. He hated that more then anything, being compared to his father.

"Don't EVER say that. I'm nothing like that bastard." He replied, severely calm. His eyes watered as he watched Jesse. He had his hands in his head, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I..I don't know if I can trust you Le." Jesse managed in between sobs. Leon walked over to him and bent down again.

"I want you to trust me. I'll never betray you again Jess. You're my main man, well, other then Toucan Sam of course." Leon joked, knowing that'd cheer Jesse up. When Jesse was seven, Leon would always walk around the house saying 'Toucan Sam is my main man!'. Nobody ever knew what it meant, but Jesse loved it. "C'mere dawg." Leon said, pulling Jesse into a hug. He let the tears that blurred his vision fall as Jesse wept silently.

"Promise you'll never leave again." Jesse demanded, pulling back from the hug. His face was flushed and cheeks were soaked.

"I'll never leave." Leon promised, grabbing Jesse's blond hair. "Let's go." Leon helped Jesse from the chair and left the office, his arm around his brother's shoulder.

Vince's POV

I couldn't believe Sasha. Never in a million years did I think she would hurt me like that. Somewhere in the back of my mind I kinda suspected it but I had so much faith in her. From the moment I met her I thought she was different from all the other girls. But I guess I was wrong. She was just like the others.

I drove around town just to blow off some steam. I stopped by the hospital to visit Letty on my way to the garage. She was highly pissed at Sasha and Leon. She told me to deliver the message that she "had some words for them two". When Letty said that, it was never good.

When I drove down the block of the garage and the store, I noticed the store wasn't open. Strange, I thought. As I got closer to the garage, I noticed Leon's car in the opening, him leaning on the hood. That bastard.

I pulled my car to an abrupt halt next to his, a loud screeching noise playing from the tires. I interrupted his conversation with Mia with a hard punch to the jaw. His body fell to the concrete floor as I kicked him in the ribs.

"VINCE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP IT!" Mia yelled, trying to pull me from Leon. I shrugged her off and continued wailing on Leon's body, hitting every available spot.

"How could you do that to me Leon? You were one of my best fuckin' friends, you asshole!" I screamed, holding him by his collar. His nose and mouth were both gushing blood. I punched him again, hard, in his nose. I could barely hear the yelling from everyone. I only heard the sound of my heart beating, as it was pounding through my chest with adrenaline.

"I'm sorry Vince! I'm sorry man." He replied in between spitting blood from his mouth onto the ground. The fact that he wasn't denying it made me see red. I raised my hand to continue giving him the beating of his life before Dominic pushed me off of him.

"Enough Vincent. Everyone to the house. We are gettin' to the bottom of this." Dominic drug me to my car by my collar, everyone close behind. I looked back and saw Rome and Jesse helping Leon from the ground.

No POV

Vince stormed into the living room and stood by the front door while Dom took a seat in his recliner. Rome and Jesse helped Leon down into the opposing recliner. Mia brought the first-aid kit from the bathroom into the living room to help a badly beaten Leon. Sasha stood by the frame of the kitchen door, ignoring glances Vince was shooting at her.

"Someone speak because I will not have fighting in my house." Dominic said in a low tone.

"If you aren't the biggest hyprocrite in the world Dominic, I don't know who is. You started this mess in the first fuckin' place. If you would've just kept that arrogant, rude ass mouth of yours shut then Leon wouldn't be half dead right now!" Sasha yelled, her face and neck turning red with anger.

"Sasha shut up! If you hadn't been runnin' around like a little slut, then none of this would be happening right now." Dominic yelled, pointing to her with emphasis. Everyone's head shot over to Sasha, who was stalking over to Dominic slowly. She stood in front of him, her lean frame toppling over his. With every inch of anger in her body, she punched Dom in his face with all her might.

She bent down to Dom's eye level as he tried to recover from the blow. "If you ever, I mean EVER, in your life call me a slut again, I'll beat you within an inch of your life." She whispered in his ear. That was the one word she hated to be called. All her childhood, her father called her a slut. Throughout her teenage years, she was a slut to her father. It made her blood boil and her heart break at the same time.

Diana pulled her friend away from Dominic and drug her into the den to cool off. She knew that if Sasha stood there any longer, she would have killed Dom.

"Now that we got that out the way. Vince dawg I'm sorry bro." Leon said, holding the ice pack to his lip.

"How could you do that Le? You know how I felt about Sasha and you slept with her!" He yelled, his temper igniting the wild side of the Coyote.

Leon scrunched his face up with confusion, immediately regretting it as pain shot through his face. Vince sure did a number on him.

"Wait ... what? Slept with Sasha? Who gave you that idea? I didn't sleep with Sasha." Leon said, appalled at what Vince was saying.

"But I saw you two on the couch kissing..." Dom started, not sure of what truly happened last night.

"Exactly. That's all you saw because that's all that fuckin' happened." Sasha said, highly pissed, as she re-entered the room.

"Yeah dawg. I don't know why I kissed her, maybe I was trippin'. But we stopped before anything else happened." Leon said to Vince, holding his most-likely bruised ribs.

"See Dom, I told you. It was just a big misunderstanding. Now apologize." Mia ordered, her arms crossed, her body leaning against Leon's chair.

"Sasha, I-" He started when she walked past him, putting her hand in his face.

"Save it." She spat, jogging up the stairs.
