Letty's P.O.V
I agreed to come with Dominic 'cause I was tiered of being home all day long. Then there's the fact that I have not seen him in about two weeks. But now he is asking about my family. I just don't know what to tell him, should I tell him that yeah I have a sister and two brothers but my mom took off and left me with my dad or should I just lie to him.
I myself don't even know why my mom left. My dad wont tell me, he says that I'm to young to understand, but that someday he will tell me. The thing is I don't want to know someday I want to know now. I keep thinking that the reason that she left was because I was always getting into fights with my siblings or maybe I did something wrong. I feel like it is my fault, but I don't know where she's at so I can apologize and she can come back.
"Letty…?" I am brought out of my thoughts by Dom's voice.
"Um, yeah but I don't wanna talk about that right know." I'm looking out the window at all the different houses. We stay silent for awhile just enjoying the ride.
"So where's Vince?" I turn to look at Dom. For a boy his age he looks older. "V went to visit his mom in Vegas." I am puzzled. "His mom lives in Vegas?" Dom looks at me and gives me a small smile. "Yeah." "What's she doing there?" curiosity getting the best of me. "Um I don't know. She has been living there since I met him." "Oh." I thought about it for a minute. Maybe she did what my mom did to me. I could see Doms eyes on me, sure enough he was looking at me. "What are you thinking about?" he asked me. "Nothing much." All of a sudden his eyes got wide, like they might pop out. I was about to turn to look at what he was looking at, but he got up and pulled the string to signal the bus to stop. We got out of the bus and I looked up at him. "What are we doing here? I thought we were going to The Grove." he grabbed my hand and started running across the street pulling me with him. "It's a car museum." he said excitedly,
We went in and saw all kinds of cars. Different colors, different years, it was incredible. Dominic kept looking at a 1969 Dodge Charger. He was looking at it with a passion. That day I knew he fell in love with that muscle car.
We later left and got back on the bus. Dom and I talked about what kinda cars we wanted and how Dom would be a racer just like his father. We got to The Grove and entered a small shop. We took a look around. We saw a toy car that we both liked, but we didn't have money to buy it. So I did the only other thing I could do I grabbed the car in its package and turned to check for cameras, there were non. I looked over at the cash register and the men their turned around busy talking on the phone. I walked over to Dom putting the package under my shirt and held it with my left arm. "Lets go Dom" "Aight."
When we were far away from the store I took out the package and showed it to Dom. He looked at it for a moment and finally spoke up- which was good 'cause I thought he was mad at me. "No way Man. Did you just take it?" he was shocked but had a smile on his face. "Yes I took it." We were quiet while he opened the package and took out the car. We looked at each other. "Back in Jersey I had a friend named Mike. He and I, we would go to stores and always see stuff that we wanted, but didn't have the money to buy it. So one day he took something and it kinda became easy." I said. Dom turned away and then looked back at me saying, "Man, your something."
