Hangover

I woke up on the floor and my head was pounding, damn I was never drinking again. I sat up and looked around, Letty was passed out in a chair next to a sleeping Mia. I glanced at the clock and inwardly groaned I had to be at work in 20. I stood up and the wave of nausea hit me like a train, how much did we have last night. Wobbling my way to my cabinet I took three alive then headed to the bathroom to take a shower, oh yeah I was going to be late. I stripped out of my clothes and jumped into the luke-warm water, I let out a sigh closing my eyes willing the pounding in my head to stop. After I washed my hair I got out and wrapped myself in a large green towel, then headed to my room. I glanced at the clock I had 6min to get to work. Swiftly I changed into a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt. I headed out after looking at the two passed out women and setting out the bottle of Alive. I jogged over to my Challenger then speed off to work, I worked at a parts shop that Roy owned, it was part time because it was the only legal thing he ran. That and after I planned to run over to Mia's shop. I pulled in the parking lot a little past 10 I was only a little late. I walked in then clocked in, Roy walked out grinning.

"Hangover much?" He questioned, I flipped him off before heading in back to take inventory. He followed but kept his distance, he waited until we were both in back before grapping my shoulder.

"Jiya working for Braga is a bad idea, and bringing your friend in this is even worse." He stated voice low and deep. I side glanced him, I knew he was right but I couldn't tell him why I was doing this, so I lied something I was doing more often than I would like to admit.

"I need the money, Roy I haven't raced in weeks my bills are overdue and my whole checks have been going to bills." Okay so I didn't lie.

"I can front you the money." He offered, I knew better. I had to ask for things before and I know how that ended off. I shook my head and felt him arms wrap around my waist, I hated my job.

"You still own me for fixing your tranny Jiya, I need you here, working for me, if giving you the money will help I'll do it, you just keep doing what you're doing and it will all work out." He whispered in my ear running a hand over my stomach. I was in debt with Roy and didn't need to make it bigger.

"Sorry Roy I like handling things my way." I told him pulling away, I was lucky Roy was a looker. Tall, dark, brown eyes, built like a tank, but he wasn't the guy I wanted to be with, to have on my side yeah, butto hook up no we had before I still had the marks.

"Jiya, don't get yourself in to deep, your ass is mine." He growled before walking away and leaving me to my job, my low paying pain in the ass job. I rubbed my hand over my still throbbing head letting out a sigh. Inwardly I screamed before starting on my work.

Meanwhile

Letty woke up to an empty apartment, her phone was ringing and her headed pounded. She reached over and answered her phone.

"What?" Her voice dry and horse.

"bout time you got up its noon, Jiya's at work. She left some meds down. When you're up to it head over to the shop." Mia's happy voice came over the phone. Letty sighed shaking her head then regretting the action.

"Will do." She mumbled then hung up laying back down. She had no urge to get up and start her day. Yet she had no idea what time Jiya would be back and she wanted to get some work done. She hauled herself up finding the pills Mia had told her about. A shower sounded good, a nice hot quite shower. Making her way down the hall she started to notice little things about Jiya's apartment, littered on the walls were pictures of good time. Her eyes lingered on one, the whole group was there, it was taken before Brian had come into the group. Jessie and Jiya were close back then, hell she even helped out with the trucks, she wasn't there for the last one though, Dom had sent her to look for Jessie. Letty's head started to throb at the rush of emotions, and she forced her eyes away from the picture and continued down the hall to the bath room. She slipped into the shower letting the water caress her sore body, she started at the white wall in front of her. She felt different had things really changed so much in the two years they were gone, another questioned popped in her head, what had happened between Mia and Jiya. After the water had started to go cold she got out, she felt a little better. Letty smiled as she entered Jiya's room, it was so like her, cars, hot guys, and pictures. She let out a sigh before rummaging through her draws she found a pair of pants and a shirt that she wanted to wear, both were dark blue, not really her color but it would due.

"I should get my own clothes." She murmured changing before stealing a pair of socks and heading out to her former bed. Her phone was lighting up showing she had gotten a few texts. Sighing she picked up the phone and read though them, one was from Jiya telling her to get her ass off the couch, the other from Mia asking if she was okay. Ignoring them she got her things before heading over to the shop, and snatching Jiya sun glasses. It was sunny much to her dismay, her eyes hurt along with the back part of her head, she was wondering if she had bumped it last night. Letty pulled up to the shop it wasn't busy a few people were eating and Mia was talking to a guy who was tall with black hair, he looked like a racer by the way he carried himself. Strong, confident, with a hint of mystery the same way Dom used to. Letty walked in nodding at Mia.

"It's about time you got here, Jiya called asking if your ass showed up yet." Mia told her with a soft smile.

"I am now." She mumbled before leaning on the counter looking at the man. His sharp brown eyes caught her, they held danger, and control.

"I'll give you time to think about my offer." He told Mia who nodded, before getting up and leaving. Letty watched as he climbed into a car and speed off.

"Who the hell is he?" She asked looking at Mia who seemed upset.

"Roy, the guy Jiya works for, he's been trying to buy the shop for a year. Real ass but I don't want to piss him off. Jiya keeps me in his good graces." Mia mumbled the last part.

"Yeah I wanted to ask about that, why isn't Jiya working here anymore?" Letty took a seat as Mia shook her head, it was a sore subject Letty could tell that.

"After you split and Jessie died, I wanted to forget, Jiya just wanted to know what happened. So I asked her to give me some time, so she got her own place, showed up to work, but after we stopped talking she showed up less and less then one day just stopped. I wasn't strong enough to tell her and she deserved to know." Mia told her eyes glued to the floor.

"That's why you two seemed off last night." Letty grumbled before shaking her head, she would talk to Jiya about it later.

"Yeah." Mia nodded.

"Well did you keep Dom's car?" Letty asked earning a laugh from Mia.

"What's left of it, it got hit by a semi. It's at home in the garage." Mia told her, Letty knew that Dom had been hurt but she had no idea he had drove his dads car.

"How bad?" She couldn't help but ask. She wanted to know hell he loved and hated that car.

"With Jiya's help we got a new frame for it, the rest is in parts." Mia told her shaking her head.

"I don't know what he was thinking." she added before smiling up at Letty.

"You planning on fixing it?" Letty nodded she wanted fixed for when he came back, and he was coming back.

"Yeah, for when he comes back."
