GetDisclaimer: I do not own any of The Fast and the Furious.
Later that day I locked myself in my room and looked threw my photo album. The first picture was of me and Addy. It was Halloween and I was a dark fairy with a short sexy black dress and Addy was a good fairy with a long white dress. I laughed at the thought of that day. We went to the race track that way and Brently had thrown mud at us with his dirt bike. That was how we first met Brently. We chased him around the track for at least an hour. We then got introduced and he became part of my group. the next picture was of my and Jesse. We were wearing matching Cowboy shirts and our faces were painted blue and white. We were Cowboy fans threw and threw. The next picture was of me and Chad. He was smiling at the camera while I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I turned the page and smiled. It was the most resent picture I had. It was of me and Sean. He was in his tux giving me a piggy back ride while I was still in my bridesmaids dress. We really did look like siblings.
I felt a tear roll down my cheek just as a knock came from my bedroom door.
"Estee?" Neela asked. I wiped away my tears and opened the door. Neela must have known I needed to talk because she entered my room and shut the door behind her. she led me to my bed and sat down next to me.
"Spill." She said and I forced myself to smile. "I know you're not ok. So tell me."
"I miss home." I said with a sniff. "I don't belong here. I belong in my small home town. Where I can see the starts at night and where I can look out my bedroom window and see the big oak tree that I used to climb when I was little."
"I know this must be hard on you. " Neela said petting my hair. "But I'm sure you can go back home when things pass over back there."
"That could take years." I said with a sigh. "I'm not a city girl Neela. I need my small Iowa town."
"Things will get better." Neela assured me. she saw the photo album on my bed and picked it up. She flipped threw it and stopped at the picture of me and Sean. "You look so happy."
"I was. I had great friends, an awesome boyfriend and a new brother to pick on." I said as a tear fell onto the picture. "I even had my race track."
"You have great friends here." Neela said and I nodded. "You still have a brother to pick on. and we can work on finding you that awesome boyfriend."
I laughed and put the photo album away. What I needed was a new one. I took out my camera and Neela knew what I was thinking.
"Tomorrow when your eyes aren't so red from crying, we'll start a Tokyo photo album." She said giving me a hug. She then handed me an envelope. It was from my father. Neela smiled and left me alone to read my letter. I opened it and found a debit card in side. I then decided to read the letter.
Dear Estee,
Joanne and I miss you very much and hope you are having a great time and staying out of trouble. I talked to the police and they think its best if you stay in Tokyo for at least six months.
I have put extra money in your checking and savings account and will add money every month. You should be good with money for a while.
Your cars are in the same place you left them and Spike checked up on them yesterday. They are still in very good shape.
I miss you a lot honey. Be good.
Love,
Dad
I put the letter down and headed off to find Reiko. I needed a shopping day.
Reiko and I arrived back to the garage with a car full of shopping bags.
Sean and Twinkie looked inside the car and shook their heads. I got out of Reiko's car and grabbed some of my bags. I headed for my room when I met Han and another one of his lady friends.
"If you wanted to buy out the whole store you should have just bought the building and moved in." Han said and the woman laughed. I hated to be around Han when he had one of his girls around him.
"Why would I do that?" I asked giving him a small wink. "Who would look after Twinkie. Plus you have my cars."
I walked past him with a smirk on my face. I knew he had taken my car out to get his date so it was the ultimate pay back. But then I got a better one.
"Oh Han." I said and he and his date turned around. "If you scratch my car… I will hurt you in some way, shape or form…Night."
I turned back towards my room and snickered. I could feel Han glare at me. When I went back to the car to grab more shopping bags I passed and angry Han on his way to his room. When I walked down the stairs, everyone shook their heads at me.
"What the hell did you say to piss off Han?" Sean asked and I couldn't help but smirk. Sean threw his hands in the air. "God Damn it Estee. He wants you out of here."
"What?" I asked in surprise.
"That's right Ice. He wants you out. And I don't know what to do. You have no where else to go." Sean said and my heart stopped.
"I…" I started to stay something but for the first time in a very long time. I was speechless. A tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away. I didn't want to leave this place. I looked up towards Han's room. I was soon racing up the stairs while Sean warned me to stop. But I didn't listen. I burst threw Han's door to see him shirtless. I paused, caught off guard for a second.
"What the hell, Han!"
"Oh don't give me that Estee." Han said angrily. "I'm tired of your shit."
"No your pissed because I called you out in front of that girl." I said with a smirk. "But kicking me out will not prove anything. It just means you won't have my cars to drive."
"That's not what this is about." Han protested.
"Oh really. So you being Mr. nice guy to me was just to keep Sean happy? It was all an act?" I said so angry that I couldn't stop the tears. "Screw you Han. I can't believe I thought we were friends."
"I thought we were too." Han replied walking up to me. "But no friend of mine make a fool of me."
"I was just defending myself from the smart ass remark you made. Or do my feelings not count around here?" I snapped back. Han's face lightened as he realized what had happened.
"Listen…Estee...I'm…" Han stumbled but I just shook my head.
"No. you want me out. I'm gone." I replied heading for the door. "I don't like being around fakes."
I left his room as he ran after me. I made it to my car but he stood in my way so I couldn't leave.
"You have no where else to go." Han protested and I revved my engine as a warning. Sean also stepped in front of my car to stop me. I sighed I wasn't going to do anything if Sean was there as well. I got out of my car. Royally pissed off I got in Han's face.
"Happy. I guess I'm staying." I said then walked to my room. I flung myself on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
That night I woke up to a knock at my door. I groaned and opened it to see Han standing there. He had to bottles of Mountain Dew and a bag of Starburst.
"A little bird told me these were your favorites." Han said with a smile and I almost forgot that I was mad at him.
"Twinkie has a big mouth." I replied letting him in. he sat down on my bed and tossed me a Mountain Dew. I sat down next to him and smiled.
"What?" He asked.
"Is this your way of saying sorry?" I asked. Han nodded. "Then we should fight more often."
Han laughed and opened the bag of Starburst. He handed me a handful, keeping the bag for himself. I rolled my eyes and stuck an unwrapped Starburst in my mouth.
"You know they taste better when you unwrap them." Han pointed out and I smiled. Three seconds later, I took the wrapper out of my mouth. Han gave me an odd look.
"What?"
"I see your talented with your tongue." He said with a smirk. I sighed. Chad used to joke about that whenever we raced to unwrap a starburst. Thinking of Chad just made me think of how I called him the night before and my cousin Ashley, Jesse's sister, answered his phone. I bit my lower lip and Han knew right then something was wrong.
"What is it?" He asked sliding closer to me.
"My boyfriend. I just know he's cheating on me….with my own fucking cousin." I said as a tear streamed down my face.
"You really love him don't you?" Han asked and I nodded. I looked up into Han's worried face. It was hard to take my eyes away. He was so confusing and it bugged the shit out of me.
"You don't deserve what he's doing to you." Han said and I smirked.
"I know but I can't seem to let him go." I said with a sigh.
"He drives a viper doesn't he?" Han asked and I laughed.
"Yes he does."
"You helped him with its design as well." Han asked and I nodded.
"How did you know?"
"The look in your eye just now was the same look you got when you saw my new viper." Han said then a smile crept across his face. "I think you're more attached to his car than to him."
I thought about it for a second then tears started to stream down my face. "I'm so fucking pathetic."
"No. No your not." Han said bringing me into a hug. He laid me down as he sat up on his arm. He held me close to him and stayed with me till I fell asleep."
