I've always pictured Letty and Vince had a really good friendship for some reason, so here's to that, and well more Dotty. Leave any suggestions of scenarios you might want me to, reviews are always appreciated too! Thanks for reading, as always. Xo

It was one of the hottest days of the entire summer. The sun was blazing, and even with air conditioner and a roof on top of our heads nobody could avoid the heat pounding on our hot, sweaty, over-worked bodies.

It was mid-July in sunny L.A. and just like any other summer the guys and I worked on our cars and at the garage till our fingers bleed.
Only this summer was different, Dom wasn't at the garage nearly as much as he would've been, if he hadn't been sucking faces with that twit Amber all day.

I admit it, I'm not really 'great' at containing my jealousy but I did, because I'd rather contain it than admit I had a thing for Dom and have all of the guys laugh at me, they'd never take me seriously again. Plus, Dom had never seen me as anything but his sister, even now gracing the age of almost 17, could I ever catch his eye, though I caught a lot of other guys attention, I guess I just wasn't good enough for Dominic Toretto.

"Hey Let, can you pass me the compressor?" Vince asked sliding out from under the car he was working on.

"Earth to Letty..," He said again a little annoyed.

"Huh? Sorry V, I'm just kinda out of it today."

"You've been out of it for a lot longer than just today, want to talk about it?" He told me sitting up leaning against the car he was working on.

Besides Mia, Vince was always there for me, he always knew when something was up with me, but unlike Dom he couldn't call me out on my bullshit, simply because he couldn't tell when I was lying. Though I tried not to lie to Vince, because he deserved better, but I couldn't help it - I couldn't let any of them know, besides Mia, she got it out of me back in middle school, that little girl was just as devious back then as she is now.

"Na V, it's not important, here's the compressor you wanted," I told him handing over the compressor.

"Whatever you say Let," He told me before getting back to work, just as Dom walked into the garage.

"Hey guys, I brought us food, you just have to hail to me and tell me I'm the greatest street racer that has ever lived to get any," He said cockily walking in and setting down the food on the table inside the office.

All of the guys immediately stopped what they were doing and headed for the office, except me. I just sat down on the couch and looked over at him. He was wearing a plain white V-neck and some dark blue jeans, he looked rather nice to be just bringing us food, he must have just been with his tramp.

"Hey Let, feels like I haven't seen you in forever," He tells me looking up at me tensely as he leans against the wall.

"Maybe because you haven't," I say back to him, holding my ground in our silent staring contest.

"I know, I'm sorry, Amber's just important to me, but I'll find time for all of you guys. You know you guys are always number one, Let," He told me his eyes a lot softer now.

I hated that no matter how much I knew he was doing all of us wrong, his one look of sincerity could change all of it, I hated how much power he had over me.

But for the first time in two whole months I persisted, I didn't let his soft gaze, or his perfect smile distract me from my anger, I let him have it.

"So now you have to make time for us Dom? Seriously? You're pathetic, I used to actually look up to you, but now you're just a huge hypocrite! You go around always talking about family, and how it always comes first, yet when the shoe fits the skank, it's adios family. You don't know how much it sucks for any of us to be traded up for a girl you met two months ago compared to the friendship of a lifetime we all have. But hey, you're Dominic Toretto, you can do whatever the hell you want, fuck whoever you want, but remember who was there for you when nobody gave a shit," I told him leaving him there with a pissed off look on his face and his arms crossed over his chest, probably trying to contain his urge to punch me in the face.

I walked off past him and caught a glimpse of all of the guys staring at me from inside the office through the window, mouths hanging open, I guess they didn't see that one coming.

All their faces read the same except Vince's, his face just looked sad, almost as if he got what just happened, but there was no way he knew, right?
I snapped back out of my thoughts and headed inside the house, cooling myself off both from the heat, and the rage that pulsed through my veins.

It was approaching dinner time, and I had spent the day locked up in Dom's guest room screaming into a pillow. That is until Mia found me and told me to come down for dinner. She knew I was upset, she told me we'd talk later, though there was nothing she could say that would change the reality of things.

Going down the stairs and into the kitchen I held my breath knowing I smelled skank all over the situation I was about to walk in. The first clue was hearing her God awful laughter, she sounded like a dying Chihuahua.

This wasn't the first time she'd come over for dinner, and probably not the last.

I turned the corner and caught glimpse of all of them sitting at the table, they all looked fairly happy, Dom especially and his skank. If they were all so happy without me, then there was no point of me even being there, I was just about to walk back upstairs when Vince called out for me.

"Finally decided to join us beautiful?" He said winking at me, I couldn't help but laugh at him, he was far from charming but could always get me to laugh, I loved that about him.

I sat down on the chair next to him between him and Leon. I had Dom and Amber in my direct forward vision, perfect.

The dinner went as expected. Leon and Jesse always bringing up each others embarrassing pasts, Mia making sure everyone liked the food she cooked, Vince and me talking quietly and Dom and Amber flirting with each other while she was practically on top of him, it made me want to barf.
Everything expected, that is until Dom decided he had an announcement.

Everyone quieted down around the table and gave him their attention. I swear if Dom would've been born a girl he'd be a pageant queen or something a total diva would be, he required that much attention.

What a pussy I thought to myself while waiting for his grand announcement.

"Ok, guy's so nothings official yet, but me and Amber have been looking for an apartment to rent together. I know what you guys are thinking, that this is going to change everything, but it won't. If everything goes as planned I'll live less than a mile from this place, practically down the road," He told everyone eyeing everyone carefully.

The tension around the room could've been sliced through with any sudden movement.

"Isn't that great?!" Amber chimed in, God I wanted to punch her. So I just held my hands together under the table instead.

Nobody said anything, the silence was daunting, not even Mia spoke, and she always had something to say. I was glad everyone was just as shocked as I was, I wonder if they felt like they'd just been slapped in the face, because that was exactly how I felt.

After about a minute of awkward silence Leon finally congratulated him as did Jesse, they didn't seem very animated or happy when saying it, but they did anyways.

Dom thanked them and then looked over at Vince expectantly.

"Yeah, congrats man," Vince said quietly looking down at his hands, not even wanting to look at Dom, or for that matter, look at me.

I couldn't stand it anymore, Vince, Dom's best fucking friend since the third grade was going along with this? I wasn't insane, they were, to let this be happening, to paint a perfect fake smile upon their face and go along with it just because Dom wants what he wants.

But I wasn't no kiss ass, and I wasn't about to give in just like everyone else, no - screw him.

I got up from my chair abruptly and left without a word slamming the front door as loudly and dramatically as I had seen Mia do way too many times before when she was pissed off.

Vince:

"What just happened?" Amber asked sitting in front of me with a shocked look on her face.

"I don't know, let me go talk to her," said Dom getting up from his seat pushing Amber off him.

"No man, I'll go talk to her, you've done enough," I told him getting up and heading towards the door.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean," I heard Dom's voice yell out from behind me, I ignored it and headed to the one place I knew Letty would be.

After walking two blocks down the street I finally saw her, sitting by her old tree house. She never went in it anymore because she was scared it would break from her weight and years of usage, instead she just sat under the tree.

"Hey Let"

"Go away," She told me trying to hide her tear stained face.

"I think it's time to talk about it," I told her while sitting next to her.

"Talk about what?" She asked trying to play stupid.

"About why you've been so down since Dom started dating Amber, and why you yelled at him this afternoon, why you walked out of dinner, and why you're planning to lie to me about the answer you're about to give me," I told her with a smirk. "You know, I'm pretty observant for a guy."

She looked at me, her eyes pleading and pained. I wish I could take away her pain, but I knew only one person could do that, and that one person was acting like a total douche right about now.

"Am I really that obvious?" She asked wiping away the tears falling down her eyes. I hated to see her cry, I couldn't even remember the last time I had seen her cry, she always tries to put up this front.

"No you're not, I've just known you my whole life," I told her placing my hand behind her back trying to comfort her, she really was my sister, blood or not. "You know, you don't always have to pretend you don't care, caring isn't wrong," I told her.

"Yeah, well caring sucks, feelings suck," She told me a new wave of pain emerging in her eyes.

"You know Let, I've liked Mia for the longest time, and I totally agree feelings suck. But yet here I am, I'm satisfied with her happiness, even if it doesn't involve me being the cause of it," I told her.

"I'm not as good of a person as you Vince, plus Dom isn't happy, he's about to leave his family behind, how could that possibly make him happy?" She told me.

"I don't know baby girl but we will figure it all out, we always do," I told her kissing the top of her head before hearing the footsteps behind me.
I knew exactly who it was.

I stood up with Letty beside me carrying most of her weight with my arm around her as we faced Dom.

I hoped that even if Mia and I would never work out, I hoped that they would, because nothing made me happier than the joy I saw when Letty smiled because of Dom.

And even though the stupid bastard couldn't realize that today, I knew he'd realize it someday.

He'd realize that what he wanted was right in front of him the entire time.
