Chapter 17
After 2 days and 19 hours of driving, they where finally back in Echo Park. The drive had been silent for the past two hours. Both of them getting themselves prepared for their parents anger. They both thought about the things that they would say to them. The consequences that they would have to face.
The exit was coming into view now. He got off and turned heading in the direction of their house. About two blocks from their block he stopped the car. He looked over at her and smiled wearily. "I love you" she smile, "I love you too." She looked out into the horizon she could see the first house that led into their block and sighed. "Are we going to tell them about us?" she questioned wondering if what had happen back in Baja had been real. He took her hand and kissed it, "Yeah we are." He started the car and drove the short distance to his house.
Outside stood Anthony and Humberto, both staring at the car angrily. Dom and Letty got out of the car, Letty went to stand next to Dominic.
Anthony went over to his son first and punched him right in the eye. Humberto went over to Letty and slapped her. "You two are in serious trouble!" Anthony spoke up first. "Come on your coming inside with me Dominic Alexander Toretto!" Humberto grabbed Letty by her arm, "And you are going home with me!"
The Toretto's House
"What the hell where you thinking?" He looked at his son who was now sitting down on the couch. Dominic cast his eyes down looking at something on the floor boards that was more interesting. "Answer me Dominic!" Anthony yelled. "I don't know." Dom responded quietly.
"Have I not taught you better? What exactly have I done wrong? Have I not given you enough? I'm very disappointed in you Dominic. But I'm more disappointed in myself for not raising my son do respect and to not do stupid things. Tell me something Dominic, did you sleep with her?" Dominic looked up at his father. His father had now sat down on a chair in front of him. "Yeah I slept with her." Anthony looked at his son for a moment. "I hope that you didn't get her pregnant, because if she is your going to take full responsibility and you will marry her. We'll talk tomorrow about you punishment. For now just know that you're not allowed near the garage, the shop or Leticia's house. You are not to use the phone or go out with you're friends. Vince is not allowed to come around and he already knows. Give me the keys to your car because you're no longer going to need them." Dominic handed over the keys to his car. "Go up to your room Dominic, I don't want to see your face right now." Dom got up and walked up the stair to his room.
The Rodriguez's House
"Well well well look who's back the whore." Coney said. Letty looked at her and launched at her trying to hit her, but her dad pulled her back. "Enough!" he shouted. Coney sat down on the couch in the living room ready to hear about Letty's punishment.
"Sientate!" Sit down Letty did as told, she glared at her step sister. "Coney go to your room." Humberto told his step daughter, "Aw dad." she whined but left anyway. Humberto looked over at his daughter, "You are in a lot of trouble. Lets start with the fact that you hit someone with a crowbar! You know how much money I had to pay for the medical bills? Oh but you wouldn't know now would you, because you ran off with Toretto! Que piensas, que tengo dinero para gastar en tus locuras!? What do you think that I have money to waste on your tantrums You are not allowed to go over to the Torettos anymore! I don't want to see you talking to them! Another thing your moving schools, I'm sending you to boarding school." Letty looked up shocked that he would send her away just like that.
"You cannot do that! You cannot just send me away like that and you cannot tell me what to do! I'm not your little girl anymore dad! You have not right to tell me what I can and cannot do!" she yelled at him. "No Leticia I have every right to do what I want. I am your father I will tell you anything I want!" He looked at her as she stood up to face him. "What did you do in Baja?" he asked her bluntly. "What do you want to know dad, you want to know that Dominic Toretto made me his. That he made me a woman, because he did and I enjoyed it." He slapped her across her face. "You better hope that you don't get pregnant or that I don't see him again because I'll kill him myself!" "You're one to talk! Tell me why my mom left you! I know that it wasn't because of something wonderful that you did to her!" She looked up at him now. "This is not about me! You start school on Monday, but your leaving tomorrow. Kate already packet your stuff." He told her. "So you're just going to throw me out like that!?" she followed her father into the kitchen. "Yes I am, I don't need anymore problems." he took a swig of his beer. "Is that all I am to you dad a problem?" she glared at him and then ran up to her room.
In a corner of the room there was a pile of luggage. Her drawers where empty and her closet only consisted of a uniform that she would be using for school. Her anger grew and she punched at a wall to let out some steam. A hole now appeared on the wall she sat down and looked out the window that now had security bars. She looked at Dom's house she questioned, how would she tell him that they where sending her away? To say goodbye, or when would she see him again?
