Chapter2- Confessions
Disclaimer- I don't own anything but the plot and my char. Although I wish I owned Han. Mm. lol enjoy!
Hans POV
I saw a girl with Twink running her hand over the hood of my car; she was wearing tight jeans, a black tank top and black Chuck Taylors. Something about her really caught my attention. She wasn't in the normal race attire. I had never seen her here before, but Twink was talking to her, so maybe he knew her?
"Who's car is this? It's amazing." I heard her say. I walked up and stood behind her.
"That's mine, you like what you see?" She turned around and I almost choked on the chips that were in my mouth.
"Drea?" I asked.
She nodded and smiled. "Hi Han."
"The last time I saw you, you were different." I said.
She chuckled. "It's only been a few years Han, not that much has changed. Well maybe a tattoo or two, and different color hair, but nothing else." She came up to me and put her arms around my waist and laid her head on my chest.
"I missed you." She whispered.
I smiled and put my arms around her. "I missed you too Drea. Wait, does Dom know you're here?" I asked. I felt her tense up and pull away from me.
"Drea what's wrong?" I asked, I was starting to get worried.
"Dom knows I'm here, he sent me. Han, I'm in trouble, the big kind."
"Do you have a car here?" I asked. She nodded.
"Follow me to my garage and we can talk okay?" She nodded. I walked her to car and was surprised to see the RX-8. I didn't think that was her style. "This is your car?" She smiled.
"Yeah, Dom has connections." I smirked and got into my car and headed to the garage. Drea pulled in behind me and followed me in. We went up to the couches and I sat down next to her.
"Tell me what happened." I said. She took a shaky breath.
"Well, it started years ago. Dom and Johnny Tran had never liked each other. You knew about that. Well, Dom made the mistake of sleeping with Tran's sister. That's when the shit really hit the fan. One night I was at the garage by myself when Tran's cousin Lance showed up." I was afraid know what happened next.
"I think he was originally looking for Dom, trying to give a message from Tran or something, Lance was always his little lackey. Since I was there, I guess he thought he could have a little fun and deliver the message to Dom at the same time. I always hated the way he stared at me whenever Tran and my brother got into it. He gave me the creeps. He tackled me to the ground, and he…he raped me. He said that if my brother ever came around his part of town again, that Tran would kill me and my sister." That was the second time my jaw dropped today.
"Drea, I'm so sorry." I said and pulled her into a hug. She was crying. I looked down at her and brushed the tears away. "Shh. Stop crying, it's gonna be okay." I told her. I always hated to see her cry. Back when I rolled with Dom he was always making her and Mia cry.
"There's more." She said.
"More?"
"After Race Wars, and after Jesse was killed, Brian sent Lance to jail, I caught Lance's sister out in a part of our side of town. We got into it and I beat the shit out her. I didn't mean to hurt her, something in me just snapped and I couldn't stop. I guess you could say its a Toretto gene. She fell into a coma and died just last year. Now Lance is out of jail and Dom is afraid that he will come looking for us. That's why he sent Mia to Mexico and me to find you. He said that I would be safe with you." She looked up at me with those big eyes and I couldn't help but to melt a little. I took her hands in mine and looked into her eyes.
"You are safe here. I won't let anything happen to you okay?" She nodded and gave me a hug. I knew that I had to protect her. If anything happened to her I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Not to mention the fact that Dom would kill me. Literally.
I took her up to the apartment I had above the garage. Nobody knew about it, they all just assumed I slept in the bunks or the couch, which most nights I did. I gave her the room across from mine and told her where to find everything.
"Thanks for taking me in." She said. "You didn't have to."
"Of course I did. Your family took me in when I didn't have anyone." I told her. I'd do anything for Dom, Mia, and especially Drea. I remember the conversation I had with Dom when we were taking down truck drivers for gas.
*Flashback*
I was sitting on the beach on the back of my truck watching Andrea dance with some of the girls. In the short time I've known her, I've found that she is the most amazing person I've ever met. I was so infatuated with her and I hoped to God Dom didn't kick my ass for it. I knew how protective he was with his sisters.
"You like her don't you?" Dom asked, sitting down next to me.
I hesitated. "Are you mad?"
"Don't hurt her. I know how you are with women Han, I don't want my sister to be another one of your quests ."
"I don't want to do that to her. That's why I can't be with her right now. I've never been in a real relationship before, I don't know how to be with just one woman, and until I can do that, I can't let her know how I feel." I told him.
We sat there in a silence for a moment then he sighed. "That's a shame. She's worth it."
*End Flashback*
"Hello? Earth to Han?" I heard Drea say.
"Huh? Sorry, what did you say?"
"Just that I was going to head to bed and I'll see you in the morning." She said.
"Oh, okay, if you need anything I'm right across the hall." She smiled and kissed me on the cheek. "Thanks Han." She whispered in my ear I shivered a little.
I laid in bed for hours until I heard some rustling in the living room. I got up and walked into the room to find Drea watching TV eating some chips. I walked over and plopped down next to her and took the chips.
"What are you doing up this late?" I asked as I popped a chip in my mouth.
"I was hungry." She said, taking the chips back.
"Uh, huh, now tell me why you're really up at four in the morning?" She sighed and put the chips down.
"Some nights I only get a few hours of sleep. I have nightmares. I relive that night with Lance every time I close my eyes. Usually I just stay up when I wake up from them." She said.
I pulled her over to me and put my arm around her shoulders. "It's gonna be okay. Dom's gonna take care of it and come for you."
"Oh, trying to get rid of me so soon are we Han?" She said, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I didn't mean it like-" I started.
"Chill Han, I was just kidding. You're not getting rid of me that easily." She smirked and snuggled into my side.
I rested my head on top of hers and drifted to sleep.
