Chapter 28

Dear Mia,

Who do you think you're threatening like that!? Just 'cause I'm here doesn't mean that you can talk to me like that little girl. Anyway, I'm doing fine. Not much going on here. Well maybe I should tell you.

I was shot by accident the other day. Some guy went psychotic, he shot me and a couple of other people. I 'm doing fine now, nothing to worry yourself over. You know that I miss you a lot baby girl right? I wish I could be there with you right now. I'm so sorry that you have to restart your life because I could not control my anger.

How is everything over there? Say Hi to grandma for me.

I don't need you to send me anything. Oh! One more thing little girl you are certainly not coming to visit me. I don't care how much you want to. This is no place for you! You better not even try to get you big ass over here! You got that!?

I got to go. I miss you a lot and I love you.

Dominic

P.S

Ha Ha Ha, very funny about the playboy magazines.

He reread what he wrote and finally put it into the envelope. He went to put it in the mail box and was walking back to his cell, when someone called him. "Mr. Toretto." "Yeah." The middle age women was handing him an envelope "this just came in yesterday." "Oh, ok thanks."

He headed back to his cell and once there he opened it.

Dominic,

You're going to be pissed when you find out what happened. I was send to military school. Why you ask? Well that is a long story. Let me explain.

Johnny Tran came over to my house and told me that he had a job for me, he wanted me to boost a Viper. At first I did not agree, but then he said that if I didn't that he would rape and kill Letty. So I went along with the plan. Only I got caught, by my moms boyfriend who is a cop. Anyway, he send me away and now I'm in military school. Which my mom agreed that I needed. Now I'm just scared as to what might happen to Letty. Johnny is very intend on getting revenge for what happen with you and his sister.

Look if you can get Mia to go to L.A or have her talk to Letty about Johnny that would be good. I got to go, I'll try to write later.

Vince

Sure enough Dominic became mad and confused at the same time. Mad that Johnny wanted to start a fight and mad that Vince was in military school. He was confused about the whole Letty situation. What did he mean Mia talk to Letty? Wasn't Letty away at boarding school? He only wished that Vince could have been clearer.

There was no return address, so he could not write back to Vince to get things straightened out.

Echo Park

She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Her stomach was growling loudly, she looked through the fridge and then heard someone walk in. She turned to find Kate looking at her.

"Hey" Kate greeted her softly. "Hey" Letty gave her a soft smile. "You hungry? I can make you something." Kate insisted. "No it's ok. I'll make something for myself." Kate went over to her and had her sit on a chair, "I need something to do Let, just let me make you something." Letty nodded. "Um…Kate can I ask you something?" Kate didn't look at her she just nodded, "Um…I was wondering how Emily died." Kate stopped doing what she was doing and turned to face Letty. Coney walked in and sat on the table. "Well I guess you two should hear what happen. Since your dad does not plan to tell you. Um…she was killed, she was shot and killed. We don't know by who or why. We only know that she was killed." Letty and Coney looked at each other wide eyed. "Are we in danger?" Coney asked. "I don't know that girls." Kate said softly. They stayed in silence for awhile.

"I need to tell you something. I can't keep it a secrete anymore, well Coney knows, but yeah. I just need you not to tell my dad." Kate looked at her with concern and sat down on a chair next to her, "I wont tell your father." Letty looked at her and then sighed, "I'm pregnant." Kate's eyes became wide with shock, "Do you know who the father is?" Letty rolled her eyes, "Of course, it's Dominic." "But sweetie that was almost five months ago." Letty nodded and stood up lifting up her bulky sweater and exposing her growing belly. "Oh my…" Kate swallowed hard for a moment, "Have you been to a doctor?" "No, I'm afraid of what my dad will do." Kate nodded, "Tell you what, I will make you a doctors appointment with my gynecologist. We wont tell your dad yet, but at some point you will not be able to keep it a secrete anymore. Even though you been doing a good job of it. Does Dominic know?" Letty looked over at Coney who was playing with her hair, "Well Vince was suppose to tell him, but I haven't heard from Vince." Kate nodded. "Ok, well just don't say anything to Humberto, he is going to freak when he finds out."

After breakfast Letty decided to go over to Vince's house, Coney of course followed her there. "So what are you going to do?" Letty looked at her, "About what?" Coney pointed to her hidden belly, "Keep it." Letty responded. "But what if dad doesn't let you?" Letty shrugged, "I don't know yet. Why are you asking me this?" Coney shrugged, "Just curious. So does Vince have a girlfriend?" Coney asked as innocent as possible Letty looked over at her with a smile, "I don't know. Why you crushing on my friend?" she laughed, "Maybe." Coney said blushing.

They reached the apartment and Letty knocked at the door. "Hello?" "Hi, I'm looking for Vince?" The lady looked at her, "Vince was sent to military school. He got into some serious trouble." Letty was shocked. "Do you know where I can reach him?" The lady shook her head, "No his not allowed contact for anything. Um…I don't mean to be rude but is that all?" Letty nodded and walked back down the stairs. "It's an emergency." Coney tried to get information out of her. "Sorry no can do." With that she shut the door. Coney rolled her eyes and went to catch up with Letty.

"So now what?" Coney asked. Letty sat down on the curb of a street and Coney joined her. "I don't know. Vince was the only one who would be able to tell Dominic that I was pregnant." Letty said disappointed. "Maybe you can get my mom to take you to Lompoc." "My dad would find out and he would be seriously mad. I mean I would do it, if I wasn't pregnant, but I can't get angry I don't want nothing to happen to my baby." Coney nodded. "You've got a point." she paused then looked at her older sister.

"Let, what does it feel like?" Letty looked at Coney confused, "What are you talking about?" "What does sex feel like? Does it hurt? Does it feel good?" Letty let out a small laugh which made Coney blush. "Don't you think that you're a little to young to be asking me this." Letty raised her eyebrow. "Well I was just curious and no I'm not young. For your information I'm going to be 14 years old next week." "Curiosity killed the cat, honey." Letty stated, "Yeah but it had nine lives." Letty looked at her, "Fine. At first it hurts like a btch, but then it gets better. It feels really good." Coney looked at her, "What about being pregnant? What does that feel like?" Letty chuckle softly, "What is this 21 questions?" she smile, "It's a surreal feeling to know that you're carrying the child of the man that you love. It's unexplainable, you have to experience it yourself. But of course just 'cause I said that does not mean that you can go and get pregnant." Coney laughed. "I know. You know, I never thought that we would be sitting here talking like this." Letty smile and put her arm around Coney's shoulder, "Yeah well you're not as bad as I thought you were. We where just mad that we got put into one house without us wanting it." Coney smile, "I agree to that. Your not bad yourself. If I could pick any sister it would be you." "Aw, thanks but lets not get to mushy 'cause that's not my thing." The girls got up and started walking back home.
