Letty woke up slowly looking around and remembering the events from yesterday. She felt a deep hurt a sense of loneliness. She hated everyone and everything, she had no will to live anymore, but knew that she had to go on. She wanted to hate Dominic for not being with her, for not protecting her and their child. Yet she couldn't her heart wouldn't let her.
She saw a young woman sitting in a chair watching TV. She recognized her from yesterday, but couldn't quite place her in her memories. The girl turned to look at her and she slowly got up making her way towards her.
"Hey," she smiled sweetly. Letty looked at her and glared 'why is she smiling?' Letty thought to herself. "I am glad that you're awake and calm. I brought you this." she showed Letty a pair of sweatpants and a sweater. "I thought that you needed something more comfortable then that ugly gown. You can change into it whenever you want. You do remember me right?" Letty eyed her for a moment then shook her head no. "You don't. It's me Dahlia your sister." "Oh" was all Letty managed to say. "Look I know that you're hurting right now and I am so sorry for what happened. Everything will get better. Um…Estevan is going to come for you and he will take you back to Puerto Rico so that you can live with abuelita grandma. Meanwhile I'm going to stay and take care of you. Kate will not be coming back since she has no legal rights over you or the house. She had to go live with her mom out in the East coast. She left this morning, when she came to say goodbye you where asleep." Letty stayed silent not wanting to talk and getting the beginnings of a headache. Everything in her life had changed in a moment and over the past few weeks she had lost control of everything. She watched as Dahlia went back to sit down on the chair. She eyed the clothes for a moment then laid back down on the bed. She stared up at the ceiling and then began to wonder what had happened to her baby. She was afraid to ask, afraid to cry in front of someone, afraid to see the lifeless body of a small innocent child.
Hours passed a Letty watched in silence as people came and went out of her room. She said nothing to no one. Her eyes where dead, as if her soul had died, a darkness filled her features. As if there was no life, just a body. She glared at everyone that came and went, especially the nurses and doctors that came to check her. A doctor had recommended that she see a psychologist, but she would not let them put her anywhere. She watched as Dahlia fell asleep on the same chair she had been seating at.
An idea popped into her head. She looked at the clothes on the end of the bed and back at Dahlia. She got a pen that was next to her and dropped it on the floor. The pen made a thumping noise and then rolled away. Dahlia made no movement. "Hey Dahlia." Letty said loudly and again Dahlia stayed asleep. Letty slowly got out of bed, as she stood up she felt dizzy and her legs felt weak. She made her way to the bathroom, quickly changing and getting a pair of shoes that her sister had brought. She ripped the hospital bracelets off and walked out of the room. She made it to the elevator going down to the first floor. She began to walk a little faster trying to make sure that she didn't get caught.
"Miss? Miss?" she heard someone calling after her. She stopped and turned around, a guard was looking straight at her.
At the doctors clinic Mia sat patiently after receiving some pain medication. She had an X-ray done on her arm. Her grandma had found her laying on the floor crying, Brianna had left.
"Ok, we found the source of your discomfort Miss. Toretto." the doctor put up the X-ray and showed it to the young girl and her grandma. "It appears that you have a broken bone, but it's not that severe. It only broke about a hairline, but can still be very painful. I'm going to wrap it in a bandage and I want you to keep off of it. Don't do anything with it because it could brake even more and we don't want that." Mia nodded in agreement. The doctor began to wrap up her arm.
Back at home grandma Georgia sent Mia upstairs to rest.
Mia heard someone knocking on the door but didn't think much of it, until Jeremy walked into her room.
"Hey there. I heard what happened and came to see if you where ok." he gave her a small bouquet of flowers and a teddy bear. "They are so beautiful, thank you. I guess news travels fast around here doesn't it? Don't get me wrong I'm glad you came." she smiled at him reassuring him. She then patted the empty space next to her for Jeremy to sit down. "Yeah well Brianna told me that you fell and hurt yourself." Mia looked over at him. "I did not fall on accident Brianna hit me and I fell of the stool landing on top of my arm, but whatever. Lets talk about something else."
"Ok. Are you going to the party on Saturday. I really want you to go." Mia smiled at him, "Well if the doctor says that I can take the bandage off then yes I'll go." Jeremy smiled at her then began to run his finger along her jaw line. Mia watched him intently as to what he would do next. Jeremy lifted her chin to his and then began to kiss her smooth lips. Mia's eyes became wide as she felt his tongue begin to tease hers. She couldn't believe that she finally got her first kiss. Once they pulled away Jeremy looked at her one more time.
"Mia do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Jesse and Leon had been wondering the streets of L.A for a while now. Leon had looked for a job, but no one would give him one. He was depressed most of the time for not being able to save Morgan. They had heard nothing from her since the day she was kidnapped. He wondered if she was still alive, if she was safe, if something happened to her. Jesse kept trying to reassure him by telling him that she was probably back home. That whoever had taken her probably took her back to her family in order to get the money. Leon wanted to believe it, but he could not seem to forget about her just like that. He felt guilty for not being able to save her and vowed that he would take good care of Jesse and let nothing bad happen to him.
"So where we going?" Jesse fidgeted with his fingers. "I don't know man, lets find somewhere to crash for the night." "Um Lee, we need money or food. I'm hungry man." Leon looked over at Jesse, "I know man, me too, me too." The pair kept walking towards a park a few blocks down. The park was filled with other runaways, kids who had fled home in search of something better then home, others where there because their parents where to strict with them or so they say, others where drug addicts who where trying to get by everyday. Leon didn't like the way they where living, but they had no other choice. He hoped that someday that would all change.
