Shy's Pov
"Surprise baby girl!" Everyone said making my jaw drop at the sweet ride that sat just a few yards away.
"You guys!" I said feeling like an ass for the thoughts I'd had a few moments earlier.
A book bag, and a pencil pouch was not even close to this back to school gift. It was a newly buffed black Gt 2000, devoid of decals except for my name across the front hood, and the DT that was on the left side of my rear bumper.
"Take a look inside bay," Jesse said nudging me over.
Walking forward I smiled at Dom who held the door open.
"She's just as fast as she is pretty," He said grinning as I went ape shit over the four canisters of NOS that were "Hidden" under the passenger seat, and all the new gadgets that they had placed inside.
"I- I don't know what to say," I said choking up when I spotted a new cell phone on the dashboard, along side a black 2 way.
"Our numbers our programed in to it so we'll always be a phone call away chica," Leon said making my eyes tear up.
" I love you guys," I said clambering out to jump in to Dom's arms.
"Gracias Papi," I said knowing despite our disagreements he only wanted the best for me.
"You're welcome baby girl, take her for a spin," He said watching the evil grin that spread across my lips.
"Can I take her on the strip," i said referring to the rarely patrolled area of highway we usually tested out our newly installed NOS on.
"Jesse, keep her safe," He said shaking his head as we pealed out a few moments later.
"Baby I had no ideal you guys were working on this, thank you," I said laughing as I pulled a U-turn that made him tighten his seat belt.
"I'm just happy to see you smile again, you haven't done that much since you found out about school."
"I was sure smiling plenty last night," I said grinning as he blushed.

We drove the strip that day, Shyla slowly easing her way in to t using NOS, and for the first time in a long while I was content. Even before the accident I had felt like there was a part of me missing somehow, even in a house full of people I had felt lonely. No doubt I loved the team, but they could so easily get caught up in their own bulllshit, that they neglected you. Shyla made me feel... like I had a purpose, to take care of her. though I'd never say that our lout for fear of a smack down.
"You ready for the race tonight?" I asked as we finally headed back.
"Yes, V said he was up tonight," She said smiling.
V and her had developed a deeper relationship since that night with Edwin, maybe he' d found someone else to dote on besides Mia. ~~
Sitting on the bed as I watched Shyla don a pair of baggy cargos with an army tank, and a belt that Bad ass, I smiled. If you had told me this would be my life a year ago I would have laughed. I wasn't without dates, but I had never been in a serious relationship. I was a love em leave them kind of guy, who preferred no attachments. Once you got to a certain point in your relationship girls started to ask questions, and I wasn't ready to answer them, or see the look of disgust that would cross their faces when they found out the truth. Thinking of the things I had yet to tell my amore my smile slipped.

"Why the frown?" I asked watching the emotions splay across Jesse's face in the mirror as I fixed my hair.
"Nothing... just worrying too much about tonight I suppose," he said making me frown. I had the feeling something was bothering him, but the last thing I wanted to do was nag.
"No worries, Vince is even better now that we got some of that weight of him wit those lighter parts, and added that second canister of NOS, that should give him even more of an edge. ... Personally I'd be about scared to beat him, cause Lord knows what he'd do to you," I said grinning sheepishly as Jesse burst in to laughter.
"V's really a cream puff," He said taking my hand so we could head down the stairs.
The race was a two g buy in that nigh, and I couldn't help but smile at the little boy grin that seemed permanently etched on to V's face. Finally he got a chance to step out of the shadow of Dom. This was going to be his first race since the accident, and I heard he was better know then he had been before. The physical thearpy had honed his senses even sharper, making him quicker on the up take.
"Come On V kick some ass!" Mia yelled making me turn to face her in shock.
"What?" She asked flashing me an innocent look.
"Nothing at all," I said laughing as I nodded to Edwin who was now one car away from V in the line up.
"What's going on with you two?" Leon asked from his position in the car, the man enevr missed anything.
"I'm not sure," I said shaking my head . "We're just taking things slowly , and figuring them out as we go."
Cheering as they took of after Hector gave the signal I smiled as V took the lead from the very beginning. Seconds after he flew across the finish line one of the lagging racers spun out of control crashing in to the side of Edwind red Acura. Screaming I lunged forwards only to be held back by Jesse, and Letty as it burst in to flames.
"NO!!!" I said breaking free momentarily as I tried to get closer to the wreck in all the chaos.
"NOS!" Letty said pratically jumping on my back to hold me down before DOm reached us.
"Let me go!!!! Let me go!" I screamed tears rolling down my face as I struggled to get closer car.
My screams echoing in my hea da few moment later when the car blew with my brother still in side.

My heart ached for Shyla as I stepped back to let Dom restrain her. I still wasn't up to full power from the accident, and I wasn't going to risk her getting lose. To see your only brother go up in flames. Cringing at the sound of her screams I followed Dom to my car where he placed her in the back seat.
