Narrowing my eyes I glared at the man still oblivious to my presence.
AS the cars revved and took off I stalked over my rage making me forget
about the limp that made me self conscious, or the "Rules' hat Dom had set.
Glancing around I spotted others in various positions, Dom, Letty, Vince,
and Mia leaning against the car as they watched the race unfold. Leon was
talking to another race, and Jesse was still talking to his car slut.
"Edwin!" I called causing him to turn the infectious grin he usually wore
immediately sliding of his face.
"You son of a bi*&!" I yelled my fist connecting with his jaw causing a
chorus of "Ooh", and "OH S**&" to break out.
The minute he was thrown back in to his car from the force of my swing all hell broke loose. "Cops! Cops!" Screamed t he young Hispanic Leon had been talking to seconds earlier. Trying to slip away in the chaos I took a step back, only to be stopped by Edwin's hand on my wrist. His jaw tight as he tried to control his raging anger. "You are getting in the car with me," he said.
The sound of engine's drowned my protest, but I was relieved when the two cars full of the team pulled up to block Edwins' pth.
"That's where your wrong slick," Leon said toothpick in mouth as he hung out the window. I swear that man had an oral fixation; he always had to have something in his mouth. :Why the hell am I thinking about that now?: I wondered unable to concentrate on all the events going on. :Cause you selective Add is choosing to act now: I answered myself. :Wait isn't answering yourself the first sign of insanity?: I asked spacing out as I stared at the team wondering what they were going to do.
"The way I see it you have two choices." Dom said in an insanely calm voice that told me he was ready to rip Edwin a new one. "You can let or little scientist go, and apologize, or we could beat your ass, take her, and stay her long enough to be arrested," he said pointedly as the sirens were heard in the distance. "This aint over lil one," he said releasing my wrist as we all scurried to our appointed cars. "You're still as dead to me as you were before I saw you here tonight!" I yelled jumping in the back seat of the car Dom was driving. "Oh yea, and Mom's dead you ass hole, and I was in the hospital for 6 months!" I yelled after the door was shut, and I saw the questions in his eyes about my limp. "Mom?" V murmured turning to me eyes filled with mistrust. "And just what the hell was that ?" Dom asked breaking ever law in the book to get us away as the police exploded onto the scene. "I don't' know Dom, tell me why my dead brother was at the races tonight!" I yelled covering my mouth as I began to shake.
"Hey, hey," V said surprising me by taking me into his arms as he pulled me into his lap. "We're your family now," he said kissing gently. Sobbing I let my true emotions be seen. "I want Jesse!" I yelled like a tantrum throwing five years old who wants his mom when the dad is the only one home. "Shh, baby girl, we're almost home, then you, and him can talk ok?" He said continuing to rock me back, and forth sweetly.

As soon as I heard the engine pull up in the drive I ran down the steps to gather a sobbing Shyla in my arms. "Shh I got you baby, he can't hurt you now, you're fine, you're fine," I said walking up the steps slowly as I kissed her face gently. "I swear Jesse, she said he was dead, why would she lie? Why!" "I don't know baby," I said kissing her face trying desperately to calm her.
She was just starting to really progress, and the last thing we needed was for her to relapse, especially over a prick like Edwin. "Please calm down baby, please," I said panicking as she began to hyperventilate. "Mia!" I cried as her face started to turn colors. "Oh my GOD!" She said running over. "Get her inhaler Jesse!"
Dashing up the stairs I emptied her entire cosmetic bag tossing things aside until I fount he dark blue item I was looking for. Though she was almost fully healed from the accident, her lungs were still kind of weak, and when she got really upset a asthma attack ensued.
"Here baby , take it breath, breath," I said helping her press the pump as the others gathered around close enough to see if she was ok, but far enough away that she had her space.
I was finally able to relax as she began to breath normally, and she reached for me. Looking around it was clear that we all wanted to get the story from her, but tonight would not be the time.
"Come on baby," I said lifting her frightened by the way she was shaking. I wanted to make her forget everything, her fear, her pain, Edwin.
"Stay," She said her brown eyes luminous in the moonlight. "Of Course," I said tossing my shirt as I climbed in beside." "Please don't' leave me anymore Jesse," she said in a voice so small it broke my heart. "You know I'd never leave you honey." "But you did Jesse, you did tonight, for that. slut ..I can't . I can't just turn my feelings off, and on when we're with the team you're all over me, kissing me , hugging me, and at night you hold me so close at time.. if that' s not love than please tell me what it is? Do you love me?" She asked eyes glistening with unshed tears "Oh Gabby of course I do, but what would a girl like you want with a guy like me , I 'm not dumb, " I said sighing heavily as I propped myself over her. "I know you have money, and really its just a matter of time to you go back to your old life." "No Jesse," She said taking my face in her hands. "Don't' you know, You are my life, and where you are is my home, if it wasn't for you . I'd still eb in that hospital.. just withering away." "Gabby, I love you too, so very much, I was just so sure, you could never." I said trailing off as I focused on a poster on the other side of my room.
I hadn't had a lot of love in my life before the team, and sometimes it was hard for me to believe that other people could or would actually care about me. I had never talked to Shy about my past; but I knew the day was coming nearer, I just prayed she wouldn't' turn away from me in disgust. Not even the "team" knew the complete truth.
"I love you Jesse," she said one more time drawing me into her arms as I wept.
